Guojing (Jiaxing) Semiconductor automatic 300mm large silicon wafer production line mass production

Abstract: On January 9, 2022, Guojing (Jiaxing) Semiconductor opened a fully automatic production line and has the leading technology that can produce 12-inch perfect crystal polishing sheet.

On January 9, 2022, Guojing (Jiaxing) Semiconductor opened a fully automatic production line and has the leading technology for the production of 12-inch perfect crystal polishing wafers.

Guojing (Jiaxing) Semiconductor Co., Ltd., invested by Shanghai Zhezhong Co., Ltd., was established at the end of 2018 and is located in Science and Technology City, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, mainly researching, producing and selling integrated circuit core semiconductor materials 12-inch electronic grade monocrystalline silicon wafers and polishing wafers and epitaxial wafers that meet the chip process standards below 28 nanometers. In October 2021, Shanghai Zhezhong Group Co., Ltd. (stock abbreviation: Tuozhong Shares, stock code: 002346) increased its capital by RMB816 million and obtained 58.69% control of Guojing Semiconductor.

Guojing Semiconductor founded the goal of 12-inch silicon wafer to achieve localization

Lu Renjun, chairman of Shanghai Zhezhong Group Co., Ltd., said that at the beginning of the establishment of Guojing Semiconductor, the goal was to benchmark several of the world's best factories, and the goal set was to form the world's top expert technical team and use the most cutting-edge technology to create the world's most advanced large-size silicon wafers.

It is understood that all the product line planning of Guojing Semiconductor is designed according to the annual output of 4.8 million pieces, which are fully automatic 12-inch large-size silicon wafer production lines.

Huge stock and incremental market

In the entire integrated circuit industry chain, silicon wafer is the core material of the entire application, and the specific application of electronic products is inseparable from the basic raw material of silicon wafer.

According to the International Semiconductor Industry Association, the global wafer fabrication materials market totaled $34.9 billion in 2020. Among them, the sales of silicon wafers and silicon-based materials accounted for 36.64%, with sales of about 12.8 billion yuan.

From the perspective of the incremental market, although affected by the epidemic since last year, the investment and construction of fabs in various parts of China still maintain rapid growth, whether it is the Yangtze River Delta region or all parts of the country, there are constantly large fabs to start construction or start production, silicon wafer prices are also rising, the future of silicon wafers is expected to maintain strong demand for a long time.

Establish good cooperative relations with a large number of fabs

According to the announcement of Zhezhong shares, Guojing Semiconductor mainly develops, produces and sells 300mm semiconductor silicon wafers, which are suitable for the production of 12-inch wafer chips such as DRAM, NANDFlash memory chips, low-end processor chips, image processors, digital TV set-top boxes, etc., as well as the production of 12-inch wafer chips such as mobile phone baseband, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, ZigBee, NORFlash chips, and MCUs.

It is reported that domestic large fabs, including SMIC and Huahong, have extensively purchased equipment for Tuozhong shares in power system projects. In recent years, Tuozhong has also been deeply involved in the construction of many new fabs in China, and has established a deep foundation of cooperation and trust with major wafer manufacturing enterprises.

In January 2022, Guojing Semiconductor's automated production line was fully opened and mass-produced, and its products were in the stage of delivery to customers for testing and certification. (Inchword)
