During the Spring Festival holiday this year, Zhongdian Jinghua Tianjin Semiconductor Materials Co., Ltd. had nearly all employees working on-site to expedite new orders. In the workshop, bright red couplets pasted at the entrance were particularly eye-catching—a creative collaboration by the company's engineers, who combined their industry expertise to craft these unique decorations. These engineers, capable of both composing couplets and manufacturing silicon wafers, came together six years ago. At that time, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) 46th Research Institute established Zhongdian Jinghua in Tianjin to industrialize semiconductor materials, specializing in products like silicon wafers, which serve as the foundation for chip production.
After six years of development, the company's production capacity has increased from an initial 50,000 wafers per month to several hundred thousand. Its customer base has also expanded from three to over twenty, spanning various sectors such as consumer electronics, new energy, and aerospace. Just a few days before the Spring Festival, the company received a large and urgent new order from a leading domestic new energy vehicle manufacturer, requiring delivery immediately after the holiday resumed on the eighth day of the lunar new year.
Engineer Gong Yifu noted that this was the fifth Spring Festival he and his team had spent in the workshop. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of chip manufacturing technology and the growing adoption of domestic chips in emerging industries like aerospace, the R&D team has felt a noticeable increase in workload year after year. During this holiday, nearly 100 of the company's 140 employees remained on duty. In addition to fulfilling the new order, regular production and shipments of other products continued uninterrupted, while engineers persistently carried out research and development on new semiconductor materials.
