On April 28, when The good news that Shanghai Huahong Hongli Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was awarded the "National May Day Labor Award" by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions came, the resident employees who had been fighting in the company for more than 31 consecutive days seemed to be injected with "core" kinetic energy. Since the outbreak of this round of epidemic in Shanghai, in the face of isolation and control measures and global static management requirements, Huahong Hongli employees have either taken the initiative to stay behind, or retrograde rushed back to the factory, taking the factory as their home, running in a closed loop, opening the "core" life of the factory, anchored is a goal - to ensure that the chip "does not stop production, continuous supply", and interprets Huahong's "520 spirit" with the most real struggle.
The original meaning of "520" was "I love you", but in the Shanghai chip industry, it was interpreted as "5 working days + 2 days of weekend rest days to fight in the front line + the time left for myself and my family is almost zero". For Huahong Group, which was born in the famous "909" project in the history of the development of the integrated circuit industry in the mainland, the connotation of "520" has been refined and practiced for many years, and finally formed a spiritual consensus of "family and country feelings, a promise of thousands of gold, dedication and dedication, and mission will be achieved".
In 1996, Huahong Hongli started from the construction of the first 8-inch integrated circuit production line in mainland China, and has now become the world's leading pure wafer foundry enterprise with characteristic processes. Huahong Hongli focuses on the continuous innovation of "8-inch + 12-inch" special process technologies such as embedded non-volatile memory, power devices, analog and power management and logic and RF, and has many years of experience in successful mass production of automotive chips. At present, the company has four factories in Shanghai and Wuxi, namely 3 8-inch fabs in Shanghai Jinqiao and Zhangjiang, and a 12-inch fab in Wuxi, the company's process technology covers 1 micron to 65/55 nanometer nodes, and provides sales and technical support in North America, Europe, Japan, Taiwan and other places. Chips are "industrial food", at present, the global chip supply chain is particularly tight, Huahong Hongli and undertake a key part of chip manufacturing, so it is necessary to ensure continuous production, in order to ensure that all kinds of downstream customers have chips available, in order to effectively alleviate the "lack of core" problem in the electronic terminal product market.
Even if it is a severe epidemic, it will not be able to extinguish the "core" fire. Since the beginning of March this year, Huahong Hongli has taken precautions to launch the emergency plan for epidemic prevention and control in advance, and set up a number of special classes such as sanitize health protection, nucleic acid antigen testing, living security, and material distribution. Zhang Suxin, secretary of the party committee and chairman of Huahong Group, demanded that once all kinds of raw material inventory is available for less than 40 hours, it is necessary to coordinate the scheduling and do everything possible to ensure that the production line does not stop. Huahong Hongli's supply chain department checks the "safe water level" of raw material inventory every day, and actively solves various problems such as allocation in the city and inter-provincial transportation, so far, it has coordinated the transportation of 28 bulk chemical tank trucks and transported 3,050 barrels of special chemical solution. At the same time, the company predicts the risk and urges the arrival of raw materials and spare parts required for production in the next 3 months, laying a solid foundation for ensuring long-term stable production. In addition to the materials in the warehouse, you must also have vegetables in your hands. The company's logistics support department went all out to settle the resident employees three meals a day, and the group department organized the recruitment of more than 500 volunteers, held a series of activities such as the collective birthday party of the resident personnel during the closed production period, and held nearly 150 "fighting the epidemic and ensuring production" employee communication meetings in the factory, going deep into the front line to help solve practical difficulties... In the face of the relentless epidemic, Huahong Hongli has shown amazing centripetal force and cohesion, and the four factories in Shanghai and Xixi have always maintained 7x24 hours of uninterrupted full load and efficient operation, and the output in March even hit a record high.
Labor creates happiness. Huahong Hongli believes that another core essence of labor lies in adhering to independent innovation. Since its establishment, Huahong Hongli has been authorized by more than 3860 national invention patents, 151 international patents, the number of patents ranked first in the industry, more than 70 papers have been published in important journals such as SCI, and 1 second prize of national scientific and technological progress and 5 first prizes of Shanghai municipal and provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress. Continuous independent technology accumulation, so that the company broke through and mastered a large number of characteristic process technology, the formation of non-volatile memory and other five characteristic process platform, in the global market to establish a leading position in the characteristic process. Since October 2021, the monthly volume of the Wuxi 12-inch fab has exceeded 65,000 pieces, and the annual capacity utilization rate has remained above 100%. The company has also continuously expanded the embedded non-volatile memory, power device, analog and power management and logic and RADIO frequency technology platforms from 8 inches to 12 inches, and the world's first 12-inch power device foundry production line was born in Huahong Hongli.
The epidemic cannot stop Huahong Hongli from innovating and struggling. According to reports, the production capacity of Huahong Wuxi 12-inch production line is expected to expand to 90,000 pieces per month at the end of the year, at the same time, the company will continue to expand and strengthen the "8-inch + 12-inch" production line, and polish the "characteristic IC + POWER" production process on the international stage.
