Qingdao: a total investment of 2 billion 500 million sapphire wafer processing project officially put into operation

By the Qingdao Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau to actively promote, the morning of April 8th, sapphire wafer processing projects with a total investment of 2 billion 500 million yuan at the opening ceremony in Qingdao high tech Development Zone, hi tech Zone of Qingdao city which is built after the first operation of the enterprise.

This project will be the United States Silicon Valley advanced sapphire wafer processing technology combined with the advantages of China's manufacturing costs, the formation of competitive advantages of good price. Long term goal is to sapphire wafer processing as the starting point, the construction of LED industry chain. The initial investment of the project is 140 million yuan, after the completion of the monthly production of 150 thousand sapphire chips, will fill the gaps in the domestic market, alternative imports, and gradually expand production capacity.

The substrate wafer is the basic key material of semiconductor lighting industry, the sapphire substrate wafer due to mature technology, good quality and excellent performance of LED devices, is currently the most widely used substrate blue and white LED, accounting for the global blue and white LED chip was 90%.

This project will form a sales revenue of 10 billion yuan in Qingdao, the whole industry chain matures, tax more than 1 billion 500 million yuan, so that Qingdao has become one of the national semiconductor wafer processing center and the national semiconductor lighting industrialization base.
