To cope with the financial crisis and increase technological innovation

November 15, 2008 National Semiconductor Lighting Engineering Research and development and Industry Alliance industry research and development fund expansion meeting held at the Friendship Hotel Beijing. The alliance "industry development fund" on behalf of the unit, the National 863 Plan "expert overall semiconductor lighting project" group of experts, alliance executive chairman, Li Jinmin director of the Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of semiconductors, industry alliance executive chairman, Xiamen Hualian Fan Yu bowl chairman and industry representatives attended the meeting. Alliance Secretary General Wu Ling presided over the meeting.

Secretary General Wu Ling first introduced the background of the meeting. The current global financial crisis, which has evolved from the Wall Street financial turmoil, is becoming more and more intense, and gradually spread to the real economy sector, China's emerging economies, the impact has been initially demonstrated. In order to analyze the domestic LED industry under the financial crisis situation and trend analysis in the current crisis situation, the national macro deployment to interface with the enterprise strategy, leading the LED enterprises to grasp the economic situation and the potential opportunities for development, organization of the meeting. The meeting mainly discussed two aspects: one is the union of "Research Fund" the next step how to solve the key technology industrialization, the formation of joint investment, mechanism of risk sharing and benefit sharing, to promote the construction of the public platform, change the crisis into opportunities and Houzhi strength, to the value chain; two is in the LED product the application of mature field, seize the opportunity to increase R & D investment to stimulate domestic demand, the enterprise, the key technology breakthroughs, upgrading the industrial structure, and actively promote the construction of demonstration project and make contributions to the national energy saving and emission reduction.

Li Jinmin, director of the 863 program introduced semiconductor lighting project progress of major projects. Li pointed out that since the start of the self weight project, after evaluation and acceptance, it should be said that the epitaxial technology, new substrate technology, high-power device technology, etc. have achieved good results. However, as of 2008, can be said to be an eventful year of domestic LED industry. This year, Taiwan enterprises to increase efforts to penetrate to the mainland, and the mainland enterprises living space competition; from the "337 investigation" sounded the alarm for the domestic enterprise patent; in addition, effects of the global financial crisis on LED industry has become more obvious. In the current difficult period, how to use the crisis, adjust the industrial structure, enhance the level of research and development is the key. As a research institution, Chinese Academy of semiconductor lighting research and development center will further strengthen the hospital to achieve seamless convergence of research and industry, support the development of the industry.

The meeting listened to the report on the development of the domestic semiconductor lighting industry in 2008. Report pointed out that in 2008, the overall development of the domestic LED industry situation is good. A number of major events affecting the domestic semiconductor lighting industry development environment and atmosphere, both to create opportunities, but also challenges.

2008 Tsinghua Tongfang, wave group as the representative of the domestic large enterprises began to intervene in the semiconductor lighting industry, the industry as a representative of the epitaxial chip investment increased significantly. According to preliminary statistics, in 2008 the domestic new MOCVD more than 30 units, domestic chip production capacity increased by 50% compared to 2007, major chip manufacturers plan to invest in more than 8 billion yuan; the domestic packaging industry capacity expansion into larger equipment, 2008 domestic LED packaging output compared to the annual growth of about 10-15%, the yield increased about 20-30% has made great progress; domestic lighting applications, street lamp, tunnel lamp applications are of concern, and the construction of a demonstration lighting line; LED fluorescent lamp, bulb light and other indoor lighting products are also in preparation for the development and demonstration applications, this year is expected to scale the LED Market will reach 400-450 billion yuan. The implementation of large-scale system integration technology to the Olympic Games as the representative of the demonstration project, to promote the integration of product innovation, shows the energy-saving and environmental protection effect, demonstration effect, greatly expand the application of semiconductor lighting market.

But the domestic LED industry is also facing great challenges. As the key equipment and raw materials rely heavily on imports; not a breakthrough, many of the core technology patent issues have become increasingly prominent; industrial generic technology platform for deletion; the lack of high-end strategic products led to the industry standard missing. Especially the global financial crisis brought great impact to China's semiconductor lighting industry, export-oriented enterprises market atrophy serious, while Taiwan enterprises in the low-end market, and increase the competitiveness of enterprises, with the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta based export enterprises by reducing orders overseas market pressure, the target of many enterprises turn to the domestic market. The domestic market competition is more intense, the adjustment of domestic industrial structure become inevitable.

In China's LED industry how to resist the financial crisis cold, safe winter, the experts put forward the following countermeasures.

The first is to practice the internal organs, dormant standby. Financial crisis on China's semiconductor lighting industry, of course, caused some adverse effects, but it should be seen that the financial crisis is not only a bad side. No matter when, there is always a chance for the enterprise, the key is to seize the opportunity for their own development. Domestic enterprises to take advantage of this opportunity to practice the internal strength, and strive to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises and brands, enhance corporate trust. Domestic enterprises in emphasize some skills and technology research and development at the same time, ignoring the basic technology research, sustainable development ability is insufficient, take the opportunity, enterprises should further increase investment in research and development, to catch up with the world advanced level, must take the product quality in the first place.

Secondly, based on their own advantages, seize market opportunities. Despite the current financial crisis
