Dr. Guo Qiang extended a warm welcome to all the material suppliers in attendance. He emphasized that Jita Semiconductor is firmly committed to the research and development of core technologies in the integrated circuit field, concentrating its superior resources on mastering specialized manufacturing processes, continuously improving its industrial manufacturing base, and actively building an industrial platform with international competitiveness. In his speech, he pointed out that developing the integrated circuit industry is a national strategic priority; however, the widespread shortage of materials today is severely hindering the healthy development of China’s domestic integrated circuit industry. Promoting the localization of raw materials and fully establishing secure supply channels for domestically produced materials have become urgent, critical, and strategic tasks for the nation. This matchmaking event represents a joint effort by Jita Semiconductor and the Materials Alliance to advance the application of domestically produced materials. Jita Semiconductor hopes to deepen mutual understanding and grow together with domestic supply chain enterprises, jointly building an integrated circuit supply chain system that is independently controllable, and together achieving the modernization of the supply chain, the high-end upgrading of the industrial chain, and the maximization of value chains.

Speech by Shi Ying, Secretary-General of the Materials Alliance

Shi Ying, Secretary-General of the Materials Alliance, expressed her gratitude to Jita Semiconductor for its strong support and attention to this matchmaking event. She pointed out that Jita Semiconductor boasts production lines for specialty processes in both 6-inch and 8-inch wafers, as well as a 6-inch silicon carbide process line, and plans to build a 12-inch production line in the future. The company is dedicated to manufacturing automotive-grade chips and possesses deep technological expertise and broad growth prospects. She believes that through cooperation with Jita Semiconductor, materials companies will be able to further expand their business scope, elevate their operational standards, and achieve new heights in product quality management and technological capabilities. She also noted that, after nearly a decade of development, China’s integrated circuit materials industry has made remarkable progress. Several companies now have the capability to collaborate with manufacturers in developing customized materials, and a growing number of domestically produced materials have gradually become key players in China’s integrated circuit chip manufacturing. Through close collaboration with Jita Semiconductor, materials companies will undoubtedly contribute significantly to Jita Semiconductor’s business development and help ensure the supply chain of Jita Semiconductor remains secure, reliable, and stable.

Leaders from the Shanghai Lingang New Area Management Committee and Shanghai Lingang were also invited to attend this matchmaking and exchange meeting. Lu Yu, Deputy Director of the High-Tech Division of the Management Committee, and Wong Kaineng, Vice President of Lingang Group, each delivered remarks, warmly congratulating the successful holding of this matchmaking event.
