Wuhan new core will become the country's largest high-end chip base

The picture shows: Wuhan new core of clean work clothes and 12 inch chip. The size of the pizza plate chip, can be divided into ten thousand independent working chip

January 11th, Wuhan new core expansion project completed second EIA publicity. EISS showed that Wuhan new core plans to invest $3 billion 500 million expansion of the region's first 12 inch integrated circuit production line, to the end of 2013 after the completion of production capacity of 45 thousand pieces per month, is now 3 times.

Wuhan new core (the full name of "Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was registered in April 2006). In September 2008, the project officially put into operation, the end of China's central "core" history.

In October of last year, East Lake high tech Zone and semiconductor manufacturing International Co. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SMIC") signed a cooperation agreement, the "escrow" mode to "joint venture" mode (the newspaper has reported). In 3-5, the total investment of the joint venture will reach 4 billion 500 million U.S. dollars, the main production of 40-65 nano memory chips, which is currently the most advanced chip products, most of the supply of the mainland market.

Data show that Wuhan new core now monthly capacity is about 15 thousand pieces. Analysis of the industry, the monthly production capacity reached 20 thousand, the basic can let the financial maintained at a relatively healthy level, that is expected to start this year, Wuhan core profitability.

East Lake high tech Zone source, although for many years has not been profitable, but the establishment of the Wuhan new core and 12 inch chip projects, has successfully led the agglomeration of our province semiconductor downstream related industries. So far, there are more than and 20 IC design companies, more than 10 world semiconductor equipment suppliers, more than 10 raw materials production enterprises, involving more than 10 chemical suppliers stationed in Optics Valley.

Expansion after the completion of the Wuhan new core will become the largest production base of high-end chips, then the aggregation effect will be more obvious, will have a profound impact on the semiconductor industry in Wuhan.
