Guangzhou
In 2017, Guangzhou's strong "core" project accelerated, and wafer manufacturing industry became Guangzhou's first choice. From CIDM (shared IDM) to VIDM (virtual IDM), Guangzhou vows to embark on a different path of integrated circuit development.
On December 25, 2018, Guangzhou issued the "Several Measures to Accelerate the Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry in Guangzhou", proposing that by 2022, Guangzhou will strive to include in the national major productivity layout plan for integrated circuits, build advanced domestic wafer production lines, introduce and cultivate enterprises that design, packaging, testing, analysis and deepen smart sensor system solutions, and strive to create an integrated circuit industry cluster of hundreds of billions.
On September 20, 2019, the first VIDM project in China, Guangdong Semiconductor 12-inch production line, officially put into production, indicating Guangzhou and even Guangdong's determination to wafer manufacturing and the development of integrated circuits. With the launch of the Guangdong-core 12-inch production line, Guangzhou has officially entered the ranks of core making. Guangzhou hopes to use this as a fit to attract more design companies to settle in Guangzhou. It is reported that Guangzhou currently has a number of integrated circuit design companies such as Ankai Microelectronics, Anbao Electronics, Guangxin Microelectronics, Huizhi Microelectronics, Taidou Microelectronics, Shengsi Microelectronics, and a number of packaging backbone companies such as Jinko Electronics, Fenghua Xindian, Feihong Microelectronics, Huawei Electronics, and Ruixin Electronics.
Dalian City
Dalian City integrated circuit industry is marked by the settlement of the Intel project, giving full play to the influence of the Intel project, supporting its technological upgrades and capacity expansion, strengthening and radiating surrounding supporting industries. After more than ten years of cultivation, it has become a benchmark for the integrated circuit industry in the Northeast region and an important city in the development pattern of my country's integrated circuits.
In order to accelerate the industrialization of key integrated circuit equipment, Dalian City has introduced measures such as the transformation and upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry and the development of intelligent equipment, encourage equipment manufacturing enterprises to enter the field of integrated circuit special equipment, accelerate the development and industrialization of equipment based on advanced packaging technologies such as flip-flop and chip-level packaging, and support the independent innovation of semiconductor wafer cutting equipment, chip binding and welding equipment, and a packaging equipment industry chain led by Dalian Jiafeng has emerged.

Dalian has been constantly developing new power devices. Recently, compound semiconductors have also begun to lay out, forming an industrial chain with Xinguan Technology as the link.
Chongqing
Chongqing is one of the earliest cities in China to develop the integrated circuit industry. my country's first large-scale integrated circuit chip comes from Yongchuan Semiconductor Research Institute (now China Electrical Science and Technology Institute 24).However, Chongqing's integrated circuit industry, which started earlier, failed to develop due to various reasons, and was even forgotten by the world for a time.
Today, the development of Chongqing's integrated circuit industry has entered the stage of "uploading scale and increasing speed". With the improvement of quality, efficiency and upgrading of the two pillar industries of Chongqing's electronic information and automobile manufacturing, it will bring huge market demand and platform to the integrated circuit industry. Chongqing's integrated circuit industry is developing rapidly, and a relatively complete integrated circuit industry chain has been initially built. Chongqing currently has more than 60 integrated circuit companies, covering the entire industrial chain links such as integrated circuit chip design, manufacturing, and packaging.
In order to change the current situation of Chongqing's relatively backward integrated circuit industry, from August to 10, 2018, the "Chongqing City's Several Policies to Accelerate the Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry" and the "Chongqing City Integrated Circuit Technology Innovation Implementation Plan (2018-2022)" were successively issued, which shows the importance.
In terms of investment support, Chongqing has established a semiconductor industry development fund with a total scale of 50 billion yuan, with the first phase of 20 billion yuan. At the same time, it will also provide 5 million yuan projects for integrated circuit projects. According to the plan, by 2022, Chongqing's integrated circuit industry will achieve sales revenue of 100 billion yuan, of which the design industry will reach 20 billion yuan, the manufacturing industry will reach 40 billion yuan, the packaging and testing industry will reach 30 billion yuan, and the professional equipment will reach 10 billion yuan, building a highland of innovation in China's integrated circuits. At the same time, major breakthroughs will be achieved in key technologies, cutting-edge basic research, echelon talents, formulation of national and industry standards, and supporting the application needs of intelligent industries.
Xiamen
Xiamen As one of the important carriers for the development of the integrated circuit industry in Fujian Province, Xiamen is across the sea from Taiwan Province. It is an important location advantage for Xiamen to develop the integrated circuit industry.
Xiamen City has successively issued the "Xiamen Integrated Circuit Industry Development Plan", "Xiamen City Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Integrated Circuit Industry", and "Xiamen City Implementation Rules for Accelerating the Development of Integrated Circuit Industry", to support the development of the integrated circuit industry in all aspects. The "Planning Outline" proposes that by 2025, the output value of integrated circuits (design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment and materials, etc.) will exceed 100 billion yuan.
Xiamen City has built three key integrated circuit agglomeration areas: Torch High-tech Zone, Haicang Taiwan Business Investment Zone, and Free Trade Zone Huli Area. There are more than 200 integrated circuit industry chain enterprises in the city, and an industrial chain covering integrated circuit design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment and materials and applications has been initially formed.
Xiamen City has built public service platform for integrated circuit design, Xiamen Shenzhen Industrialization Base Xiamen (Haicang) Base EDA platform, Xiamen Integrated Circuit R&D Design Test Center and other public service platforms, and has been approved by the state to build a cross-strait integrated circuit industry cooperation pilot zone, Xinhuo Double Innovation Base (Platform), and the National Integrated Circuit Industry-Education Integration Innovation Platform.
