On October 28, 2022, the 10th China Semiconductor Equipment Annual Conference and Exhibition of Semiconductor Equipment and Core Components opened in Wuxi Taihu International Expo Center. Chu Junhao, academician of the CAS Member, Ye Tianchun, secretary-general of the China Integrated Circuit Innovation Alliance and chairman of the Integrated Circuit Branch of the China Semiconductor Association, Chi Yu, deputy director of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Jiangsu Province, and Zhou Wendong, deputy mayor of Wuxi, attended the meeting and delivered speeches. The meeting was hosted by China Electronics Special Equipment Industry Association.

Jin Cunzhong, Executive Deputy Secretary General of China Electronics Special Equipment Industry Association, presided over the summit forum. China Semiconductor Equipment Annual Conference has been accompanied by China's semiconductor industry for ten years. Over the past decade, the scale of China's semiconductor equipment market has continued to develop, and the sales revenue and R&D investment of China's semiconductor equipment industry have maintained a trend of continuous growth. Jin Cunzhong said that Wuxi is an important city of China's semiconductor equipment industry. The scale of the semiconductor industry in Wuxi High tech Zone has broken through 100 billion, forming a development pattern of the whole semiconductor industry chain.

Ye Tianchun, Secretary General of China Integrated Circuit Innovation Alliance and Chairman of the Integrated Circuit Branch of China Semiconductor Association, stressed in his speech that since we have our own system, we should focus on ourselves, form an internal cycle from system application, design, manufacturing, sealing and testing, equipment, materials, and parts, and then connect international resources to form an international and domestic double cycle. The important thing is to create a new global ecology, which is dominated by me. Now it seems that this task is more and more urgent.

Chi Yu, deputy director of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out in his speech. At present, the world's biggest change in a century has accelerated its evolution. The COVID-19 has far-reaching impact. The international environment is complex. The competition around the commanding heights of science and technology is unprecedented. The development pattern of the global integrated circuit industry is facing profound adjustment, and the industrial development is facing new problems and challenges. At the same time, the industrial transformation of a new round of scientific and technological revolution has developed in depth. The continuous integration and innovation of AI, big data, cloud computing, blockchain and other technologies also provide broad space for industrial development.

Zhou Wendong, Vice Mayor of Wuxi, pointed out in his speech that Wuxi is a central city in the Yangtze River Delta region. It is not only widely favored for its profound cultural heritage and superior ecological endowment, but also highly respected for its solid industrial foundation. Since the establishment of 742 Factory 60 years ago, Wuxi has witnessed and participated in the initial development of China's integrated circuit industry all the way. After more than half a century of careful cultivation, the integrated circuit industry has become a landmark industry in Wuxi, a shining business card and a prominent position in the overall situation.

Chu Junhao, an academician of the CAS Member, made a wonderful speech on "Instrument and Equipment Technology in the Context of the Intelligent Age" at the Summit Forum, which was highly concerned and praised by the participants.

Gu Guodong, member of the Party Working Committee of Wuxi Hi tech Zone, member of the Standing Committee of Xinwu District Committee, deputy director of the management committee of Wuxi Hi tech Zone, and deputy head of Xinwu District Government, made a key promotion of "Don't Forget the Core and Focus on the Hard Core". As the main position for the development of Wuxi's integrated circuit industry, the High tech Zone has actively cultivated leading enterprises over the years and made efforts to extend the upstream and downstream industrial chains. The healthy and rapid development of Wuxi's integrated circuit industry has attracted the attention of industrial circles all over the country.

At the summit forum, Chen Hao, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of Shanghai Yatong Semiconductor Energy Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a speech entitled "The rapid improvement of domestic semiconductor capacity will face the challenge of equipment supply"; Li Weiming, vice chairman and chief technology officer of Jiangsu Micro Conductivity Nanotechnology Co., Ltd., made a speech on Atomic Engineering: Prospect of Atomic Layer Deposition Technology. Dr. Chen Junyu, deputy director and researcher of the Jita Integrated Circuit Joint Laboratory of Fudan University, gave a speech on "Progress of Domestic Semiconductor Equipment"; Chen Fuping, Deputy General Manager of Shengmei Semiconductor Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., delivered a speech titled "Opportunities and Challenges for the Development of Semiconductor Equipment Industry".

The event was also attended by the heads of the main functional departments of Wuxi Municipal Government and the heads of various sectors. There are also entrepreneurs from member units of China Electronic Special Equipment Industry Association, as well as representatives from the industry, universities, research institutions, investment and financing service institutions and relevant media.

As an authoritative exchange platform for the domestic equipment industry, the Summit Forum held a domestic semiconductor equipment and parts exhibition at the same time on the tenth anniversary of the China Semiconductor Equipment Annual Conference. The exhibition was attended by more than 100 enterprises, with an exhibition hall area of nearly 5000 square meters. For the first time, many leading enterprises in the industry were gathered to focus on the display of semiconductor special equipment, providing good opportunities for opening up the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. It is indeed an industry event.
