To further support itwith the new cluster, the Development Plan for IC Industry (2020-25) wasrecently released by the Hi-Tech Zone Administrative Committee.The zone is home to industry leaders Allwinner Technology, Actions (Zhuhai)Technology, and InnoScience. Allwinner Technology, for instance, wasrecognized for the second time in June 2020 as a Top 10 China IC (integratedcircuit) Design Enterprise by virtue of continuous technical innovation andhigh-quality products and services.After more than 20 years in development, an application-oriented IC industrialpattern led by design has taken form with inclusion of materials and ongoingimprovement in manufacturing and package testing. The local IC design industryoutput ranks second in the Pearl River Delta and eighth in the country as thezone provides opportunities for compound semiconductor breakthroughs and animproved package test industrial chain, while focusing on IC design.Guangdong’s IC industry development plan envisions a regional center of ICdesign in Zhuhai and Shenzhen and another of IC manufacturing and packaging inGuangzhou to form a complete industry chain in the Pearl River Delta. Locatedat the geographical center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,the Zhuhai zone has distinct advantages arising from IC resource spilloverfrom Guangzhou and Shenzhen.Editor: HannahScan to follow us on WeChat
