The Study Of Semiconductor Industrial Clusters In The Changjiang River Delta

As high-end technology and high value-added industry, semiconductor industry has been being as one of the key technology industries of today's industry society. The development of semiconductor technology and its wide applications in other fields drive the improvement of science and technology and the increase of economy. It is the key factor of GDP growth and country security and the key indicator of country modernization and aggregate national strength.There were notable industrial clusters in USA, Japan, Korea, Taiwan of ROC, Europe, etc. during the semiconductor industry development in the past half century. The industrial clusters of semiconductor industry promote local economy development and influence power. Semiconductor industrial clusters also appear in China, esp. the Changjiang River delta, in the progress of its taking in semiconductor industry when global industry transferring. It is the consequence of interactions of the key factors in Diamond System. On the other hand, the proliferated effect and external economy effect attract more and more specialized factors to involve into the industry competition in return. This good benign circle will enhance the effect of industrial clusters and promote the global competitive power of semiconductor industry.The global semiconductor industry becomes mature gradually. The increment speed goes flat and is close to the speed of GDP increment. On the other hand, the marketing structure of semiconductor industry changes obviously. The focus of semiconductor market shift from enterprise to common consumer. The semiconductor market is driven by consumer electronics in stead of industry electronics. The applications of semi- conductor product also become diversified. In the past, the marketing was droved by the development of the semiconductor industry. But in future, the story will inverse. The development of the semiconductor industry will be droved by the market demand.There was favorable opportunity for semiconductor industry development in China, esp. the Changjiang River delta, during the global industry transferring. There is semiconductor industrial cluster in this area and it improves the industry structures greatly and drives the economy development. The Changjiang River delta has been being as the most important area of China Semiconductor industry and it also is important in global semiconductor market.But we have to say that the semiconductor industrial clusters in the Changjiang River delta is initiated by generalized factors such as low labor cost, privilege policy of finance and landing provided by local governments. These generalized factors cannot be the competitive strength in long term and will be replaced soon by other area with low-cost comparison strength. The Changjiang River delta has good foundation of semiconductor industrial clusters and there is a huge marketing, so we should take proactive actions to buildup the environment and system to encourage high-level factors generating for semiconductor industry, during the transforming time of industry. Only in this way, we can promote the global competitive strength of the semiconductor industry in the Changjiang River delta.
