The tower crane is busy waving the boom, the workers are working closely, and the main body of the plant is rising...... Coming to the southwest corner of the intersection of Wei 26 Road and Jing 38 Road, the mainland's largest metal additive manufacturing industrialization base is under intense construction.
With a total investment of 2.509 billion yuan, the large-scale application of intelligent industrialization project of metal additive manufacturing in Xi'an will greatly increase the production capacity of raw material powder for metal additive customized products, and effectively meet the rapid growth demand for additive manufacturing in aerospace, automotive and other application fields. The efficient promotion of the project is a vivid portrayal of the accelerated industrial agglomeration of the Silk Road Science City.
The Silk Road Science City is a comprehensive national science center and science and technology innovation center (hereinafter referred to as the "double center") and the core carrying area of Xi'an, as well as the "main front" of the "three entrepreneurships" of Xi'an High-tech Zone. After several years of construction, the Silk Road Science City has been taking shape as the urban skeleton and interface continue to refresh, while the modern industrial system is also accelerating.
Silicon wafers are the main material for chip manufacturing, and under the influence of Moore's Law, semiconductor silicon wafers are constantly developing in the direction of large sizes. At present, only a very small number of domestic companies can mass-produce 300mm large-size silicon wafers, and Xi'an ESWIN is one of them.
After landing in Xi'an High-tech Zone, ESWIN invested tens of billions of yuan in the Silk Road Science City to build the first and second phases of the silicon industrial base, with a monthly production capacity of 500,000 large-size silicon wafers, and after the completion of the second phase of the project, the monthly production capacity of the silicon industrial base will exceed one million pieces, and the production scale is expected to become the world's top six in the 12-inch electronic grade silicon wafer industry, which will effectively promote the independent and controllable and domestic substitution of the mainland semiconductor silicon wafer industry.
In July 2023, Samsung's M-Fab project with a total investment of 21.6 billion yuan was launched in the Silk Road Science City, and on November 28, 2023, with the move of the first equipment of the 8th generation new product upgrade project, it marks that Samsung has also placed the most advanced 8th generation product production in the Silk Road Science City.
At the same time, Micron is also further increasing its investment in the Silk Road Science City. On March 27 this year, Micron invested an additional 4.3 billion yuan to start the construction of a new plant to package and test Micron's mobile DRAM, NAND and SSD chips, which are available worldwide and will be completed in 2025.
Beads form a chain, a cluster of chains, and the semiconductor industry cluster is advancing together, as well as the new energy vehicle industry.
Since the start of the construction of the Silk Road Science City, BYD has completed a series of projects such as BYD battery 20GWh and 12GWh projects after multiple rounds of investment, and a series of projects such as the first and second phases of the new energy auto parts expansion project, and has laid out the whole industrial chain including motors, electronic controls and batteries in the Silk Road Science City, and the annual production capacity has doubled to 1.5 million vehicles. At present, the Silk Road Science City is already one of the world's largest new energy vehicle production bases.
Actively open up new fields and new tracks for development, and make every effort to shape new momentum and new advantages for development. While the traditional advantageous industrial clusters continue to grow, the Silk Road Science City also continues to make efforts in emerging industries to accelerate the development of new quality productivity.
The handheld device is not interfered with by masks, glasses, etc., and can realize non-contact thermal imaging temperature measurement and overtemperature alarm within 3 meters, and the camera equipped with the 360-degree imaging system can assist the vehicle to drive itself in a starlight scene only...... In the exhibition hall of Xi'an Zhongke Lide Infrared Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lide Infrared"), there are a variety of intelligent optoelectronic equipment.
Lide Infrared is an intelligent optoelectronic equipment development enterprise incubated by the Institute of Xiguang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with infrared thermal imaging technology as the core, a well-known supplier of infrared imaging and measurement equipment in China, and a representative enterprise for the development of new quality productivity in the Silk Road Science City. At present, the company has invested 150 million yuan in the construction of an intelligent optoelectronic R&D industrialization base project in the Silk Road Science City, creating a complete infrared industry chain in Northwest China and further expanding the photonic industry cluster.
Chasing the light, Lide Infrared also has a group of partners. The photonic sensing industry cluster is another photonic industry project under construction in the Silk Road Science City, which will create a curvature engine photonic sensing gathering area in the "Light Chasing Plan" to ensure that the photonic industry chain enterprises can grow, retain and advance, provide better physical space for the cultivation and accelerated development of outstanding enterprises in the photonic sensing industry, and form a "1+2+N" photonic industry development pattern.
As the main position for the future development of Xi'an High-tech Zone and the core bearing area of Xi'an's "double center", the Silk Road Science City is given high hopes. According to the plan, by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", it will gather 500,000 people and carry an economic scale of 1 trillion yuan, and by 2035, it will gather a population of more than 1 million and carry an economic scale of 3 trillion yuan.
"To achieve such development goals, we must not only have a livable and workable environment and convenient supporting facilities, but also have strong industrial support. The relevant person in charge of the Silk Road Science City Development Center of Xi'an High-tech Zone said that since the start of construction, the Silk Road Science City has adhered to the industry first, focusing on the "55611" modern industrial system of Xi'an High-tech Zone, continuing to extend the chain and strengthen the chain, and constantly strengthening the industrial level.
At present, the Silk Road Science City has gathered nearly 4,000 enterprises, has the world's largest flash memory chip production base, the world's most important new energy vehicle production base and the world's largest power battery production base, cultivated two 100-billion-level industries of electronic information and new energy vehicles, and formed an innovative biomedical industry cluster. At the same time, the new quality productivity represented by the photonic industry is also constantly giving birth to new competitive advantages and new development momentum.
"Since the start of construction, the Silk Road Science City has maintained a high investment 'heat' and has attracted much attention. The relevant person in charge of the Management Committee of Xi'an High-tech Zone said, "Everyone's enthusiasm and confidence in the Silk Road Science City largely comes from the good industrial foundation here, which is also the source of confidence and strength for our future development."
