Wuxi high-tech zone integrated circuit industry and good news, a total investment of 1.4 billion US dollars of SK Hynix M8 project officially put into production. Jiang Min, secretary of the Xinwu District CPC Committee, said that in recent years, SK Hynix has shown a good trend of rapid development with the concern and support of provincial and municipal leaders at all levels, with a total investment of nearly 20 billion US dollars, becoming one of the most successful and dynamic models of foreign investment projects in our province, laying a solid foundation for Wuxi High-tech Zone to build a 100 billion-level integrated circuit industry cluster. Today, the M8 project is officially put into production, which sets another benchmark for the global integrated circuit project construction, pushes the cooperation and development of SK Hynix and Wuxi to a new height, and also marks a new step in the development of Wuxi integrated circuit industry.
We will speed up the upgrading of the foundation of the integrated circuit industry and the modernization of the industrial chain, and strive to build Wuxi into a gathering area of China's integrated circuit industry and a highland of the world's integrated circuit industry. to build a world-class integrated circuit industry chain with complete links, core technologies, economies of scale and competitive advantages.
M8 project refers to the 8-inch non-storage wafer project jointly invested by Haichen Semiconductor (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. and SK Hynix Systems Integrated Circuit (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. After the project is put into production, it will produce 115000 8-inch wafers per month, which is much higher than the average monthly production of 50, 000 wafers produced by other enterprises at home and abroad.
At present, with the outbreak of global demand for 8-inch wafers, the M8 project has scarce high-performance 8-inch equipment and first-class technology, which can produce 57nm-500nm different products, which will help to alleviate the current domestic 8-inch wafer production capacity shortage and short supply, and promote the stable and orderly development of the domestic IC design industry. The M8 project settled in Wuxi and successfully put into production will not only consolidate Wuxi's position as the southern base of China's microelectronics industry, but also help Wuxi become a world-class comprehensive semiconductor industry hub.
