Joint win-win, complementary resources

The National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center was jointly initiated and established by Fudan University, SMIC, and Huahong Group in 2018 under the guidance and support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. As an independent, open, and substantive national-level research and development platform for common technologies in integrated circuits, the center is dedicated to addressing the selection of mainstream technology directions and reliable technology sources for China's integrated circuit industry, providing technical support and intellectual property protection for industrial technology upgrades and large-scale production line construction. Simultaneously, the center has cultivated numerous elite talents for China's integrated circuit industry through projects such as the 'National Innovation Chip Classroom'.

Professor Zhang Wei, Dean of Fudan University School of Microelectronics and Chairman of the National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center, said, 'This collaboration with Zeta Technology to jointly establish the Joint Engineering Center is an important practice in promoting the digitalization and intelligence of the industry. Zeta Technology is a high-tech enterprise with outstanding performance in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and the Industrial Internet. Their 'CIM 2.0 Product' and 'Industrial Internet Cloud Platform' solutions have provided strong support for the intelligent transformation of multiple industries such as semiconductors, optoelectronic displays, and new energy. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, the Joint Engineering Center will surely become an important platform for technological innovation, injecting new vitality into the development of the integrated circuit industry.'

Zeta Technology, founded in 2017, specializes in industrial big data and industrial AI, dedicated to leading the digital transformation of industry. As a leading domestic semiconductor digitalization platform, the company has formed a one-stop digital solution by deeply integrating industry know-how with ABC (AI, Big Data, Cloud) technology, providing data-driven one-stop CIM 2.0 full-matrix digital products for high-end manufacturing. In the process of assisting high-end manufacturing in 'digital transformation and intelligent upgrading,' Zeta Technology has accumulated rich experience and strong technical capabilities. It has now served over 100 customers in the semiconductor, optoelectronic display, new energy, and other industries, becoming a navigator in promoting the digital transformation of high-end manufacturing.

The 'High-Performance Integrated Circuit Digitalization and Intelligence Joint Engineering Center' jointly established by both parties will not only be a technology research platform but also an 'industry leap platform' that integrates innovative resources and incubates future technologies. We plan to build a digital and intelligent collaborative system covering the entire industry chain, including design, manufacturing, and testing, leveraging a data-driven one-stop CIM 2.0 full-matrix digital platform to facilitate leapfrog development in the integrated circuit industry. In the future, this center will become a cradle for fostering technological innovation and industrial transformation, nurturing more breakthrough achievements and leading the industry towards global high-end advancement.

Digital and intelligent symbiosis, witnessed hand in hand

Under the witness of leaders from various institutions, Shen Xiaoliang, Deputy General Manager of the National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center, and Liu Linping, CTO of Zeta Technology, solemnly signed the cooperation agreement. Subsequently, Professor Zhang Wei, Dean of Fudan University School of Microelectronics and Chairman of the National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center, and Zhao Wenzheng, CEO of Zeta Technology, jointly unveiled the plaque of the 'High-Performance Integrated Circuit Digitalization and Intelligence Joint Engineering Center,' marking the official launch of this significant cooperation project. Additionally, Professor Zhang Wei, Dean of Fudan University School of Microelectronics, presented Zhao Wenzheng, CEO of Zeta Technology, with a letter of appointment as the director of the laboratory. This honor not only recognizes Zhao's personal abilities but also highly acknowledges the achievements of his team.

Zhao Wenzheng, CEO of Zeta Technology, said, 'In the context of rapid information technology development and profound adjustments in the global economic landscape, the integrated circuit industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities. Amidst this great change, we face both challenges and opportunities. During the booming development of China's integrated circuit industry, domestic industrial software has transitioned from imitation and learning to independent innovation and addressing critical threats. I am honored to collaborate with the National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center this time to jointly push China's integrated circuit industry to new heights.'

Collaborating to build a scientific and technological future

In the future, Zeta Technology will rely on the 'High-Performance Integrated Circuit Digitalization and Intelligence Joint Engineering Center' to conduct in-depth research on key common technologies in integrated circuits, strengthen the close integration of production, education, and research, and accelerate the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements. Both parties will work together to break through a series of technological bottlenecks, inject strong impetus into the development of China's integrated circuit industry, and contribute positively to the construction of a scientific and technological innovation center with global influence.

The establishment of the 'High-Performance Integrated Circuit Digitalization and Intelligence Joint Engineering Center' marks a solid step forward in the collaboration between Zeta Technology and the National Integrated Circuit Innovation Center. Both parties will work together to create new productive forces, inject new vitality into the development of China's integrated circuit industry, and contribute to the goal of building a manufacturing powerhouse.

The successful holding of this signing and unveiling ceremony not only showcases the profound cooperation foundation between the two parties in the field of integrated circuits but also lays a solid foundation for their future common development. The in-depth integration of production, education, and research adopted by the Joint Engineering Center is inseparable from the guidance and assistance of government departments and industry associations. Special thanks go to the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization and the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Association for their strong support for this cooperation. It is believed that with the joint efforts of multiple parties, China's integrated circuit industry will advance to a higher level.
