Favorable policies gradually IC software industry ushered in the second spring

Used to replace Article 18 of the new national IC industry support policies will be formally introduced in the second half of this year. 18 document is expected to replace the policy and software development policies, in promoting the development of the IC industry and the software industry, the two form the same file.

Recently, China Semiconductor Industry Association sources, for some policy alternatives "to encourage the software industry and integrated circuit industry" (2000 18) of the new national IC industry support policy has been finalized, will be formally introduced in the second half of this year.

At the same time, the source also revealed the first 4 rules of the new deal, including the development of tax cuts, tax cuts and take credit for composite preferential policies; IC fixed capital equipment duty-free; arrange special funds to support the IC design, to provide financial support to the company engaged in chip design; the establishment of a special fund to support the IC industry, the first year of investment fund size of 12 million 25 million dollars, and gradually expand the size of the fund.

18 document with its value added tax, namely, that the characteristics of the birth of China's IC industry development of the first spring". 5 years, China's IC industry with an average annual growth rate of more than 30% attracted the attention of the world. Needless to say, to further promote the development of IC industry, the main purpose of the introduction of the new deal. Analysis of the industry, in 11th Five-Year, with the introduction of a series of national incentives, driven by a new round of industrial development policies, IC industry, second spring is coming.

Improve the industrial structure

The promulgation of Document No. 18 in 2000 created a highly dynamic investment environment for the development of IC industry. Guided by the market, policy support, multi participation in the industrial investment structure is taking shape." China Electronics and Information Industry Development Research Institute, said Yang Xueming, senior adviser, in recent years, IC industry investment doubled, the industrial investment structure is also undergoing fundamental changes. The main body of investment from investment of the original single country, gradually transformed into domestic and foreign enterprises, social and personal participation, financing channels are gradually widened, such as belling, Fudan Microelectronics, Silan, long power technology integrated circuit enterprises have successfully entered the stock market.

In March 2005, the state has set up a special fund for the research and development of the integrated circuit industry, formulated the Interim Measures for the administration of special funds for the research and development of the integrated circuit industry (No. 132). In the implementation of Article 132, last year, a total of 150 million yuan allocated special funds to support the project of the 29. Nevertheless, China's IC industry is small, large enterprises lack of the status quo has not been fundamentally reversed.

The overall scale of China's IC industry is too small will gradually solve the problem, I believe that in the near future, there will be a number of IC companies in some areas of foreign companies pose a threat to China's local companies." Chinese Semiconductor Industry Association Deputy Secretary General IC design branch chairman Zhao Jianzhong said, according to the "11th Five-Year IC" industry development plan "(hereinafter referred to as the" plan ")," 11th Five-Year "period, will invest 300 billion yuan to support the development of the IC industry. "Planning" will reflect the strategy of big companies in the IC design, will focus on the development of 5 3 billion - 5 billion yuan enterprise 10, 1 billion - 3 billion yuan enterprise; in IC manufacturing, will be launched 10 8 inch, 5 inch 12 production line production line.

In addition, in the "national long-term science and technology development plan (2006-2020)" 16 special focus in the determining core electronic devices, high-end general chips and basic software, large scale integrated circuit manufacturing technology and complete sets of technology are 2 of them. Although the new policy has not yet been formally introduced, China's IC output is still growing at a rate of 54%, almost double the growth rate of the entire electronic information industry.

Collaborative development with software industry

With the integration of IC, improve the product function integration increases, China's IC design company IP, hardware and software reuse based on collaborative design method of operation has become the mainstream, its business model has been provided from simple ASIC, to provide to "chip + software" for customers, including the complete system function module, demonstration prototype the solution stage.

However, most of our existing system of product design and application basically is the introduction of foreign technology, tracking its technology roadmap (including technical standards), even in the core of IC hardware and software development platform, the pursuit of "foreign goods", "integration of resources and the lack of domestic chip linkage and integration the environment and the mechanism.

"File 18 is expected to replace the policy and software development policies, in promoting the development of the IC industry and the software industry, the two form the same document." Deputy director of the Ministry of information industry product management Ding Wenwu revealed an important information.

Senior people in the industry speculated that this means that in the whole chip, and linkage in the government information system infrastructure and terminal products procurement policy, it is possible to set with our own intellectual property rights "chip + software" constraints in a certain proportion; the state and local government support to the information technology major special planning in May, to establish "the chip and the corresponding linkage mechanism and policy, including the model of cooperation management. China's small and medium-sized enterprises and domestic IC design system of machine manufacturers in the future is expected to build up from the technical standards and system architecture, "chip + software" design and manufacture, until the service content and value chain chain of life.

Began to enter the harvest period

"The next two years will be the rapid development of China's IC industry." ISuppli China Research Director Wu Tongwei
