The reporter learned from the opening ceremony that the basic semiconductor car grade silicon carbide chip production line project has been selected as a major project of the year in Shenzhen for two consecutive years. The factory area where the production line is located is 13000 square meters, with a clean room area of over 4000 square meters. It is equipped with 130 professional equipment such as lithography, oxidation, activation, injection, thin film, etching, etc. The main products are 6-inch silicon carbide MOSFET wafers, etc. The project aims to create a vertically integrated manufacturing model, accelerate the joint iteration of design and manufacturing, and develop in conjunction with the local upstream and downstream industrial chains in Shenzhen. At the same time, it promotes the development of advanced technology and processes, forming the core technology of the next generation silicon carbide devices with independent intellectual property rights. The production line can meet the demand of about 500000 new energy vehicles annually, and at the same time, domestic equipment and material verification will be carried out to create a talent training platform for research and development and manufacturing.http://www.ic-bom.com/

In recent years, new energy vehicles have become the mainstream trend in the global automotive industry, with an increasing demand for silicon carbide power semiconductors. Basic semiconductors have been developing and producing silicon carbide devices for vehicles since 2017. They have mastered core technologies such as silicon carbide chip design, wafer manufacturing, module packaging, and driver applications, and have established a complete supply chain system. Its self-developed automotive grade silicon carbide power module has been selected by more than ten vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 electronic control customers, making it a representative enterprise of the first batch of domestic silicon carbide module mass production and installation. According to statistics, more than 30 million silicon carbide power devices using its self-developed chips have been shipped, serving fields such as photovoltaic energy storage, electric vehicles, rail transit, industrial control, and smart grids. The semiconductor and integrated circuit industry cluster is a strategic emerging industry cluster that Shenzhen focuses on developing. According to statistics, in 2021, the main business revenue of Shenzhen‘s integrated circuit industry exceeded 110 billion yuan, ranking among the top in the country. Shenzhen also has a national integrated circuit design industrialization base, a national third-generation semiconductor technology innovation center, a national demonstration microelectronics institute and other major innovation platforms. The industrial ecology has been constantly improved, and the industrial agglomeration has begun to take shape. Among them, Basic Semiconductor Co., Ltd., founded in Shenzhen in 2016, is a representative enterprise of the third generation of semiconductors in China. The successful completion of the car grade silicon carbide chip production line this time is an important strategic layout for basic semiconductors to build a leading enterprise in domestic silicon carbide power device IDM (vertical integrated manufacturing). The Action Plan for Cultivating and Developing Semiconductor and Integrated Circuit Industry Clusters in Shenzhen (2022-2025), released in June last year, proposes to establish an influential semiconductor and integrated circuit industry cluster by 2025, with a significant increase in industrial scale, key links such as manufacturing and testing reaching domestic leading levels, further strengthening industrial chain linkage and collaboration, and further enhancing independent innovation capabilities, Form outstanding comparative advantages in key products and technologies, break through a batch of key core technologies, and form a group of backbone enterprises and innovation platforms. The revenue of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry has exceeded 250 billion yuan.http://www.ic-bom.com/
