The reporter learned that WSC is a non-governmental international organization, and its members include six semiconductor associations in the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province, China, representing more than 95% of the global semiconductor industry scale and more than 80% of the global semiconductor market scale. As an important institution to study and formulate global semiconductor industry development policies, the resolution formed by WSC not only relates to the development of international semiconductor industry and information industry, but also has a very important impact on the business activities of semiconductor enterprises in various countries.
At each WSC annual meeting in Starlight Glimmer, the main participants are the chairman and CEO of major semiconductor companies around the world. Participating companies include Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Fujitsu, Panasonic, NXP, TSMC, UMC and SMIC. The location of WSC annual meeting in Xiamen is not only a microcosm of the continuous fermentation of "post-BRIC effect", but also reflects Xiamen’s increasingly prominent position in the global semiconductor industry.
Integrated circuit is a large-scale collection of circuits made of semiconductor materials. In recent years, Xiamen Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have attached great importance to and strongly supported the integrated circuit industry, and issued the Outline of Xiamen Integrated Circuit Industry Development Plan, the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Xiamen Integrated Circuit Industry, and the Implementation Rules for Accelerating the Development of Xiamen Integrated Circuit Industry. Through the policy of "combination boxing", we have made precise efforts to strengthen the integrated circuit industry chain, innovation chain and finance. At present, Xiamen has formed a whole industrial chain layout of integrated circuits covering design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, materials and applications, and has many leading projects such as Lianxin, Ziguang Zhanrui, Sanan, Silanwei, Tongfu Microelectronics and Core Light Moisturizing. As an important bearing place for the development of Xiamen’s integrated circuit industry, Xiamen Torch High-tech Zone has maintained a growth rate of more than 20% year after year since 2015, with a total output value of 14.4 billion yuan in 2017. At present, the park has gathered nearly 150 integrated circuits and supporting enterprises, ranking fifth in the country in terms of industrial scale.
