The Jiufengshan Laboratory's compound semiconductor pilot platform was selected as part of the first batch of national manufacturing pilot platforms announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Dec. 11, representing the sole platform from the integrated circuit sector.

The selection for national manufacturing pilot platforms aims to systematically build a modern pilot system. This rigorous process involved local recommendations, formal reviews, multiple rounds of expert evaluations, and on-site inspections. Out of over 2,400 platforms nationwide, 21 were selected, representing the pinnacle of national standards.

The Jiufengshan Laboratory's compound semiconductor pilot platform addresses industry demands through foundational research and tackling common technical challenges. It is equipped with seven compound semiconductor pilot process lines and a testing platform, operating 24/7.

The platform currently collaborates with enterprises, universities, and research institutes in R&D and the exploration of cutting-edge technologies, successfully overcoming several key technical hurdles. Additionally, the platform offers validation services for domestic equipment and materials.

Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone (Optics Valley of China, or OVC) is rapidly developing an innovation district centered around the Jiufengshan Laboratory for the compound semiconductor industry. Surrounding the laboratory are over 50 upstream and downstream enterprises and more than 30,000 innovation professionals, forming a comprehensive industry chain from materials and devices to packaging and testing.
