The packaging and testing industry still occupies half of the domestic integrated circuit industry[Copy link]
In the development of China's integrated circuit industry, the packaging and testing industry is not as eye-catching as the rapid development of design and chip manufacturing, but it has also maintained a steady growth momentum. Especially in recent years, with the rapid growth of domestic packaging and testing companies and the large-scale transfer of packaging and testing capabilities by foreign semiconductor companies to China, China's integrated circuit packaging and testing industry is full of vitality. From 2001 to 2005, the sales revenue of the domestic packaging and testing industry expanded from 14.29 billion yuan to 34.491 billion yuan. Its average annual growth rate reached 19.3%. By the end of 2005, there were more than 100 domestic integrated circuit packaging and testing companies, with more than 30,000 employees and an annual packaging capacity of 30 billion. From the perspective of industrial scale, the packaging and testing industry is the main body of the domestic integrated circuit industry, and its sales revenue has always accounted for more than 70% of the overall scale of the industry. The growth of sales revenue in the packaging and testing industry has played a great role in promoting the expansion of the overall scale of the domestic integrated circuit industry. In recent years, with the rapid development of IC design and chip manufacturing industries, the domestic integrated circuit value chain pattern is changing. The trend is that the proportion of design industry and chip manufacturing industry is rising rapidly, while the proportion of packaging and testing industry is gradually declining, but the packaging and testing industry still occupies half of the domestic integrated circuit industry. In the development of domestic packaging and testing enterprises, domestic packaging enterprises represented by Nantong Fujitsu, Jiangsu Changdian, Tianshui Huatian, etc. have grown up. These enterprises not only have a large scale in production and operation, but also begin to approach the international advanced level in technology. At the same time, multinational semiconductor companies continue to transfer packaging and testing bases to China. Intel, ST, Infineon, Renesas, Toshiba and other major international semiconductor companies have successively invested in and established packaging and testing bases in Shanghai , Wuxi, Suzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places. At present , 14 of the top 20 semiconductor manufacturers in the world have established packaging and testing enterprises in China. Foreign-funded enterprises have become an important part of the domestic packaging and testing industry. Judging from the current packaging capacity of domestic packaging companies, there are 9 companies with an annual packaging capacity of over 100 million pieces, among which Changdian Technology, Nantong Fujitsu, Shenzhen SEMI and Tianshui Huatian have an annual packaging capacity of over 1 billion pieces. In terms of technical level, the technical levels of many domestic packaging and testing companies are uneven. At present, domestic local packaging and testing companies are still mainly based on traditional packaging forms such as DIP, SOP, QFP, etc., which are quite different from the international advanced level. However, Nantong Fujitsu , Jiangsu Changdian, Tianshui Huatian and other companies have also achieved remarkable results in the development and application of advanced packaging forms such as SOP, PGA, BGA, CSP and MCM. Among foreign-funded enterprises , packaging technologies such as BGA, CSP, MCP, MCM, MEMS have begun to enter mass production. The gap between the overall technical capabilities of China's packaging and testing industry and the international level is gradually narrowing. While the domestic packaging industry is developing rapidly, there are also some outstanding problems: First, in terms of overall technical level, the domestic packaging industry is still dominated by traditional low-end packaging , which is still far behind the international advanced level and can no longer meet the requirements of the development of the domestic design and chip manufacturing industry; second, in the market, domestic packaging companies currently mainly accept processing orders commissioned by customers or parent companies. The characteristics of the service industry determine that it is extremely susceptible to market fluctuations, which brings greater risks to the production and operation of enterprises. In addition, the domestic testing industry is still very weak, and the testing business is still mainly concentrated in chip manufacturing and packaging companies. There are only less than 10 independent testing companies such as Shanghai Hualing, which can hardly meet the requirements of the overall development of the domestic integrated circuit industry. From the perspective of future development, although the proportion of , and this trend will continue in the future, as an important part of the integrated circuit industry, its importance has increased. Since semiconductor packaging projects have the characteristics of relatively low investment, relatively low technical starting point, and can significantly drive employment, many provinces and cities in China, including Guangdong, Chengdu, Xi'an, etc., have made the packaging industry the focus of the development of the semiconductor industry and even the information industry in their regions, and have vigorously carried out investment promotion for such projects, which has provided a good external environment for the development of the domestic packaging industry. With the development of integrated circuit technology towards deep submicron and nanotechnology, the importance is increasing day by day. With the continuous increase in chip density, its high power consumption and high speed will require the adoption of advanced packaging forms such as CSP and BGA, and new packaging technologies will continue to emerge, which have provided severe challenges to the development of domestic packaging companies, and also brought them new development opportunities. It is expected that in the next few years, the domestic packaging and testing industry will continue to develop steadily at an average annual rate of about 20%. By 2010, the sales revenue of the entire industry will nearly double that of 2005, and the sales revenue scale will exceed 100 billion yuan. By then, China will become one of the world's important packaging and testing bases. [code language="C#"] [/code]
