IT Home December 21 news, according to Shenzhen Business News, SMIC Integrated Circuit Manufacturing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. recently bid for 20.1 million yuan for the G12205-0007 parcel in Pingshan District, with a land area of 34,703 square meters and a construction area of 69,410 square meters.
According to the Shenzhen Key Industrial Project Industry Development Supervision Agreement, SMIC's land here will be used for the 12-inch wafer foundry production line supporting plant project.
According to the "Announcement on the Selection Scheme of the 12-inch Wafer Foundry Production Line Supporting Plant Project", the project products are positioned at 12-inch 28nm and above line-width display driver chips and power management chips; the project builds new bulk gas stations and chemical warehouses and other facilities, which can provide nitrogen, oxygen and other bulk gases used in production and acid and alkali chemicals after completion, supporting the production capacity of 40,000 pieces of 12-inch wafers per month.
IT Home learned that SMIC Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is one of the world's leading integrated circuit wafer foundry enterprises, but also the largest and most technologically advanced integrated circuit chip manufacturing enterprise in Chinese mainland, one of the founders of the company is Zhang Rujing, who has worked at TSMC, and the current co-CEO of the company is Liang Mengsong and Zhao Haijun, who have served in Samsung and TSMC.
According to the latest survey by Jibang Consulting, the output value of the world's top ten wafer generation industries in the second quarter reached US$24.407 billion, an increase of 6.2% quarter-on-quarter, which has reached a record high for eight consecutive quarters since the third quarter of 2019.
Among them, SMIC ranked fifth, and its main momentum came from the strong demand for various processes including 0.15/0.18um PMIC, 55/40nm MCU, RF, HV, CIS, etc., and also continued to increase wafer prices.
In August this year, SMIC also signed a cooperation framework agreement with the Lingang New Area Management Committee of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone to plan and build a 12-inch wafer foundry production line with a capacity of 100,000 pieces per month, focusing on providing IC foundry and technical services at 28 nanometers and above technology nodes.
