　　On January 28, 2016, the Integrated Circuit Materials Industry Alliance and Wuhan Xinxin held a supply-and-demand matchmaking meeting in Wuhan, which was grandly staged. The meeting was organized by the Materials Alliance and hosted by Wuhan Xinxin Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Shi Ying, Secretary-General of the Materials Alliance, attended the meeting. Dr. Yang Shining, CEO of Wuhan Xinxin, along with heads of relevant departments from the company—including process engineers, quality control specialists, and user evaluation experts—as well as more than 70 representatives from member units of the Alliance across the country, who are responsible for technology, quality, marketing, and sales, also participated in the meeting.

　　In his opening remarks, Secretary-General Shi Ying pointed out that Wuhan Xinxin, by taking advanced memory integrated circuits and their large-scale industrialization as a breakthrough, will play an important role in the country’s future industrial development strategy, thereby bringing unprecedented development opportunities to materials enterprises. At the same time, Wuhan Xinxin has always attached great importance to the localized growth of domestically produced materials and has made significant contributions to building a local materials supply chain. We hope that this matchmaking event will seize the opportune moment when Wuhan Xinxin is planning for major future breakthroughs in industrial development, comprehensively assess the current status of domestic materials, identify existing challenges, and explore viable solutions. Through collaboration, we can promote the sustainable development of the local materials supply chain, ensure that both sides achieve tangible results from their cooperation, and ultimately enable domestic materials enterprises to share in the enormous market opportunities brought about by Wuhan Xinxin’s business growth. In turn, Wuhan Xinxin will benefit from the growth of the materials industry and its competitiveness across the entire value chain, achieving win-win outcomes for all parties involved.

　　Dr. Yang Shining introduced Wuhan Xinxin’s development plan for memory chips, expressing the hope that by overcoming the extremely high technical challenges associated with 3D NAND, the company can leapfrog into the global top tier of the memory industry and achieve a breakthrough. Other senior executives from the company reported on the current R&D progress and achievements in 3D NAND, the strategic layout for domesticating 3D NAND in terms of materials, and the quality management system for raw materials. They also put forward improvement suggestions tailored to the current state of quality management systems among domestic material suppliers, including strengthening production control, enhancing change management, and refining procedures for handling quality anomalies. Dr. Wang Shumin, Chairwoman and CEO of Anji Microelectronics, and Dr. Zhong Weihua from Jiangfeng Electronics, along with other material suppliers, shared their experiences and insights gained from collaborating with Wuhan Xinxin on aspects such as technology development, production management, and customer service. The meeting also included breakout sessions for group discussions, during which dozens of constructive suggestions were put forward.

　　At the meeting, Dr. Yang Shining also put forward four requirements for future collaboration: Material companies must have a clear understanding of their own capabilities and development plans; collaboration must be supported by sufficient financial resources; material companies must have a well-established quality control system; and collaboration must be driven by a wholehearted commitment and an ambitious determination to achieve success at all costs.

　　Following this matchmaking event, Wuhan Xinxin will work together with the member companies of the Materials Alliance to develop a detailed implementation plan and carry it out step by step. The Materials Alliance will also continue to closely monitor and support the progress of this collaboration.
