With a total investment of US$ 2.5 billion, Intel Dalian Chip Factory is the first wafer factory built by Intel after 1992 and the first 300mm wafer manufacturing factory established by Intel in Asia. 65 nm process technology is the highest-level production technology approved by the US government, and 300 mm is the most advanced wafer size standard in the semiconductor industry. In the future, the chipsets manufactured by Dalian Chip Factory will face the global market and be applied to Intel's new mainstream CPU platform, supporting the latest notebooks and desktops, including popular ultra-thin and economical notebook products.
Ke Bijie, general manager of Dalian Chip Factory, said: "The construction of Dalian Chip Factory has not been affected by the global economic recession, and the factory will be completed and put into operation as scheduled on 20 10. Intel is full of confidence in the economic growth of China and Northeast China, and is committed to introducing advanced manufacturing technology into China, and strongly supports the construction of Dalian IT industry ecosystem. It is of great significance for Intel's future strategic development that Dalian Chip Factory manufactures advanced chipset products. We will lay a solid foundation in Dalian Chip Factory and prepare for future technology upgrades. "
The construction of Dalian Chip Factory is progressing steadily as planned. The comprehensive office building and IT room of the data center have been built and put into use. The factory building will be completed at the end of this summer, and then it will enter the stage of equipment installation and debugging. At present, the number of employees in Dalian Chip Factory has reached 500, and the number of employees will reach 1200 to 1500 after the planned production.
With a workshop area of 65,438+063,000 square meters, Dalian Chip Factory will consolidate Intel's leading position in the field of chip manufacturing in China, actively promote the cultivation of local technical talents and accelerate the construction of the information technology industry ecosystem in China.
Intel Dalian Chip Factory strives to reduce the impact on the environment during the design and construction. Intel has always adhered to the world-leading environmental protection concept in its own operation and applied it to the design and construction of Dalian chip factory. The factory aims to meet Intel's highest standards in all aspects of environmental protection, including water, energy and chemical waste treatment.
In China, Dalian Chip Factory has become a catalyst for the development of Dalian semiconductor industry, attracting 65,438+02 Intel suppliers to invest. Xia Deren, secretary of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee, said: "The significance of the Intel project has gone beyond the project itself. IT is of great significance to the development of IT industry in Dalian, the promotion of employment in Dalian and the construction of an innovative city. At present, more than 70 enterprises associated with Intel have signed cooperation agreements with Dalian, or set up factories in Dalian or provide supporting facilities for Intel. Dalian is actively developing an integrated circuit industrial park with Intel Dalian Chip Factory as the core and integrating manufacturing, assembly, materials, software and hardware design. "
