Siayuan $12 million investment in Chengdu plant Chengdu core Pentium China heart

"Upfront investment of $12 million is only the first step in our development in Chengdu." Yesterday afternoon, the analog chip industry, Monolithic Power Systems Co. Ltd. horse (MPS) chairman Xing Zhengren Zai Rong said.

The chairman of the board of directors of Zhengren Siayuan Xing Chengdu venture invested

"Dark horse" of the Chengdu complex abroad 25 years ago in Shanghai businessman Xing Zhengren, created China students in the first semiconductor company in the United States listed on the Nasdaq, 65% share only in the world of notebook computer chip Backlight Market share. And now, he is in the focus of China Xinyuan in Chengdu.

Yesterday, Chengdu Xinyuan Co. Ltd. for more than 1 years preparatory system was officially put into operation in the export processing zone, chip packaging and testing all export products, mainly used for flat thin TV, notebook computer, mobile phone, digital camera, design capacity can reach 100 million.

Xing Zhengren said, in addition to chip testing and packaging of the whole industry chain, Siayuan will also put it in the United States to Chengdu with core technology and development. "Chengdu's talent advantage, sound infrastructure and the government's strong support for new and high technology have attracted us. In fact, the importance of Chengdu, we consider the cost reduction is not the first." According to reports, Siayuan is also considering the front-end process: wafer fabrication was moved from Shanghai to Chengdu, the future in the local manufacturing base set up billions of dollars. If it is successful, it will make up for the blank in the manufacturing sector of Chengdu chip industry. Currently, the chip industry chain is still the largest investment in the manufacturing of crystal park.

At the base of the elite university

The reporter understands, like Intel and a number of factories in Chengdu chip giant, its Chengdu base is featuring foreigners. It is warm, in charge of Chengdu Xinyuan base was a Chengdu born Chinese - Sichuan University 82 Semiconductor Physics Bachelor Xiao Deming.

Xiao Deming went abroad in 1986, once worked in Fairchild, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and sensing Image Company, more than 4 years ago to join as deputy chief operating siayuan. Since the same accent said Xiao Deming, returned to Chengdu in 2004 to study investment when some worry, unexpectedly after contact, found that the level of technical personnel much better than expected.

Enter the Siayuan threshold is very high, the admission ratio reached 1/10. Xiao Deming proudly said: the introduction of our pay and options, compared to many of the world's leading chip companies are competitive."
