China's largest IGBT semiconductor industry base opened

On May 25, the foundation of CSR's high-power IGBT industrialization base was laid, marking the official launch of the first 8-inch IGBT chip production line project in China. The project is designed to produce 120,000 8-inch chips and 1 million IGBT modules per year. China South Locomotive has become the only company in the country that has mastered IGBT chip design, chip manufacturing, module packaging, and system application. It fills the gaps in domestic related technology fields.

IGBT, also known as new power semiconductor device - insulated gate bipolar transistor, is a representative product of the third technical revolution of power semiconductor devices, widely used in rail transit, aerospace, ship drives, smart grid, power electronics, new Strategic industries such as energy vehicles are the main support for energy-saving technologies and low-carbon economy, and they are regarded by the industry as the core of the green economy. In the next decade, green economy industries such as rail transit, new energy, and electric vehicles will maintain a rapid growth of 20% to 30% each year, and the IGBT market will have a bright future.

At present, the main suppliers of IGBTs in China are foreign manufacturers. In order to support the breakthrough of Chinese enterprises' technology, IGBTs have become major scientific and technological projects supported and supported by national industrial policies. The total investment for the construction of CSR's high-power IGBT industrialization base in China is 1.4 billion yuan, which is expected to be put into production in 2013. After completion, the base will have the capacity to produce 120,000 8-inch IGBT chips and 1 million high-power IGBT devices annually, with an annual output value of more than 2.5 billion yuan, and its industrial scale and technical strength will both reach the international advanced level. The products meet the needs of rail transportation and electric vehicles, wind power generation, solar power generation, smart grid, high-voltage frequency conversion, industrial transmission, and other industries, becoming China's first fully reliance on self-capacity construction, the largest design, the strongest technical strength, product type The most comprehensive high-power IGBT industrialization base has changed the core technology to be controlled by people, and the products rely on the unfavorable situation of import, making an important contribution to building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society and promoting the rapid and healthy development of the national economy.
