Shenzhen IC design industry ranks among the top three

Shenzhen has achieved outstanding results since 2009 with its strategic emerging industries. Reporter yesterday from the Shenzhen integrated circuit design industrialization base learned that, in the high-end field of information-IC design industry (ie IC design industry), Shenzhen successfully ranked among the top three, IC design enterprise sales accounted for about 20% of the national Top ten IC design enterprises, Shenzhen Hai Si, National technology ranked top five.

From the Shenzhen IC Base statistics show that the number of IC design enterprises in Shenzhen, about 140, accounting for about 1/4 of the country, with the corresponding is, Shenzhen IC design industry sales also accounted for the national share of the 1/4 strong. In the 2005, Heiss and ZTE respectively from the Huawei and ZTE Independent, Shenzhen, the emergence of billions of IC design enterprises. Since then, Shenzhen stepped into the threshold of the IC design enterprises to further increase, sales increased to more than 50 million of the number of enterprises also gradually increased.

Shenzhen IC design industry entered a high-speed development period since 2003, when the IC design industry sales of only 600 million, now the data as high as 13.5 billion, ranked the top three in the country, the annual average increase of about 48%. And in 2010 for the first time to break the billion mark.

IC design industry's technical threshold is very high, its right to speak has been Europe and the United States and other developed countries control. However, Shenzhen IC design Enterprises also have a breakthrough in technology, design ability to catch up with Europe and the United States leading level. According to the Shenzhen IC base related to the responsible person, from the mainstream product characteristics line width distribution, Shenzhen volume production of chips mainly using greater than 0.13μm technology, using equal to and less than 0.13μm process of enterprises accounted for 40%, the overall design capacity enhanced. In the digital chip, ZTE Microelectronics, Core State technology, Hua-core fly, the power of microelectronics and the design of an-Kai has reached the technical level of 90nm and 65nm, and Heiss has begun 40nm or even lower process node design, representing the high-end design level in Shenzhen.

Not only that, Shenzhen IC design industrial structure also tends to reasonable, IC design from communication and consumption to diversify. Experts said that with the upgrading of Shenzhen electronic information industry, Shenzhen IC design product line also from the early communication and consumption of these two categories to more areas of development, including LED lighting and new energy, smart meters and smart grid, IoT, industrial Medicine, automotive electronics and so on.
