On the morning of June 23, the first phase of Hunan San'an semiconductor base project with a total investment of 16 billion yuan was officially put into operation, which will create the first vertical integrated industrial chain of SiC in China and the world, with 30000 6-inch SiC wafers produced monthly. This is an important step for the domestic LED chip leader San an photoelectric to expand to the third generation semiconductor field.

Sanan semiconductor base in Hunan is located in Changsha high tech Industrial Park, with a planned land area of about 1000 mu. The project will be opened in July 2020. Now, it takes less than a year to build a modern production base of the whole industrial chain from SiC crystal growth to power device sealing and testing, which witnessed the San an speed.

At the lighting ceremony, Lin Kechuang, vice chairman and general manager of Sanan optoelectronics Co., Ltd., said that the business of Hunan San'an semiconductor covers the following aspects: substrate materials, epitaxial growth, wafer manufacturing and packaging testing, and has created the first domestic and the third SiC vertical integration industrial chain in the world, which can provide customers with high-quality and timely delivery products, It has the cost advantage of mass production.

It is reported that after the completion of the Sanan semiconductor base in Hunan, it is expected to achieve an annual sales of 12 billion yuan, and an annual contribution of 1.7 billion yuan in tax revenue, which will accelerate the development of the third generation semiconductor industry and drive nearly 10000 employment opportunities for supporting industries around.

Based on Huazhong, we will serve the world and accelerate the popularization of wide band gap semiconductor in the field of power conversion. The third generation semiconductor materials have excellent electrical properties, which can meet the new requirements of high temperature, high power, high voltage and high frequency in power electronics technology. Through large-scale production and proprietary SiC material preparation patents, Sanan semiconductor in Hunan Province can be widely used in communication, server power supply, photovoltaic, main drive inverter of new energy vehicles, vehicle charger and charging pile, intelligent grid, rail transit and other fields, and jointly realize the popularization of wide band gap semiconductor devices.

We will build a R & D manufacturing service platform company to support the development of high-tech industries in Hunan. Thanks to the rapid growth of the market scale of the third generation semiconductor power electronic devices such as electric vehicles and photovoltaic, the global SiC substrate and device manufacturers are expected to be positive in the SiC market. Hunan San'an semiconductor is the first vertical integrated industrial chain of SiC in China, providing flexible and multi-element cooperation mode from substrate, epitaxy, wafer substitute, bare core to discrete devices, which is conducive to forming a wide band gap semiconductor industrial settlement centered on Changsha hi tech park, accelerating design and verification iteration of upstream IC Design company and shortening the listing cycle of downstream end products, Promote the prosperity and development of the industrial chain.

San'an photoelectric said that it promotes technological change with material innovation and helps achieve the carbon neutralization vision. On the way to carbon neutralization, people need more efficient clean energy. The third generation semiconductor materials, with their excellent electrical properties, help the power conversion system achieve excellent power density and excellent system efficiency, and make it play a key role in new energy vehicles, optical storage and charging scenarios. As part of the long-term sustainable development strategy of San'an photoelectric Co., Ltd., the company will continue to invest in accelerating the industrial layout, devote itself to the development of compound semiconductor integrated circuit business and strive to build a semiconductor manufacturing and service platform with international competitiveness（ Editor Shangguan Menglu   Source: Voice of Securities Daily)
