According to a report from UDN, China’s largest semiconductor packaging and testing company, JCET, has completed the planning and verification work for the first phase of the “JCET Microelectronics Wafer-level Microsystems Integration High-end Manufacturing Project.”
The project will soon be completed and put into production. Once operational, it will have an annual production capacity of 6 billion high-end advanced packaging chips, providing one-stop services from collaborative packaging design to chip production for 5G, artificial intelligence, and other applications.
As per WeChat account DRAMeXchange citing sources, the project is a major industrial initiative in Jiangsu Province, China, with a total investment of CNY 10 billion. Upon completion of the first phase, the project will have an annual production capacity of 6 billion high-end advanced packaging chips.
The project will focus on leading-edge high-performance packaging technologies, such as 2.5D/3D high-density wafer-level packaging. JCET Microelectronics commenced construction of its new plant in the eastern part of Jiangyin City on July 29, 2022, with the project expected to be completed and put into production between June and July 2024.
At the groundbreaking ceremony in 2022, JCET CEO Zheng Li stated that this project will represent the highest production technology level and largest single-investment smart manufacturing project in China’s integrated circuit packaging and testing and chip manufacturing industry. Thus, it will support end applications such as 5G, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and automotive electronics, covering key strategic customers worldwide.
This project, per Li, will further enhance JCET’s global market competitiveness in the chip manufacturing sector, aiming to achieve a higher industrial position in the global integrated circuit industry.
