Shenzhen 3 billion to build national semiconductor lighting base

Recently, "national semiconductor lighting industrialization base" in Shenzhen Baoan District Guangming hi tech Park Foundation listing, indicates that China's "national semiconductor lighting project" has made substantive progress.

By the State Ministry of science and technology approved a full range of semiconductor lighting engineering industrialization base, research and development of semiconductor lighting, optical storage, optical communications and microwave communications and other emerging industries. The first phase of investment 3 billion yuan, according to the plan, is expected to invest within 3 to 5 years will reach $20 billion, the output value will exceed 100 billion yuan. The core technology of the base epitaxial wafer, chips, with independent intellectual property rights, reached the world advanced level.

According to reports, the semiconductor lighting industry is rapidly rising, the current focus of the semiconductor lighting industry in the power of high brightness white LED, governments are strongly supported. Such as Japan's twenty-first Century lighting plan, cost 6 billion yen to promote, the goal is to replace the traditional lighting with white LED in 2006 of 50%. The United States put forward the next generation lighting plan, the EU has a rainbow project, etc.. According to the development plan of the base, Shenzhen will use about five years time, in the 3 square kilometers of land, the construction of a world in the technical level, industrial scale, industrial chain integrity and other aspects of the compound semiconductor industry base, downstream products and applications of more than 200 enterprises, with independent intellectual property rights more than 50% products.
