  • In 2002

    In 2002, the single crystal silicon production line,jointly ventured by Shenhe Thermal-Magnetics, together with Toshiba Ceramics 

    Japan, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Ferrotec (China), was established with the introduction of production technology of single crystal 

    wafer;

  • In 2003

    In 2003, the wafer was officially put into production;

  • In 2004

    At the end of 2004, the project reached its target capacity;

  • In 2015

    In February 2015, Shanghai Shenhe Thermal Magnetics' “high-performance n-type semiconductor silicon chip” project listed 

    in the technology absorption and innovation plan of Shanghai; 

  • In 2016

    In May 2016, Shanghai Shenhe Thermal Magnetics’ Semiconductor 8-inches wafer polishing line project started its construction;

  • In 2017

    In July 2017, Shanghai Shenhe Thermal Magnetics Electronics Co., Ltd completed its big wafer project and put it into production.

     At the same time, Ferrotec Ningxia Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. which was invested by Shenhe Thermal Magnetics 

    finished its construction as well. Two of these projects constitute a first-phase program of 8” single crystal wafer with annual 

    capacity of 1.8 million pieces;

  • In 2017

    In December 2017, ShenheThermal Magnetics invested 6 billion yuan to launch 8” wafer project and 12” wafer project with 

    annual capacity of 3.6 million pieces and 2.4 million pieces respectively, which gradually realizes mass production for 8” and 

    12” wafer;

  • In 2018

    In March 2018, Ferrotec Ningxia Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd., which is supporting large-size semiconductor wafer projects, 

    invested 1.6 billion yuan in the Yinchuan economic and technological development district to build an internationally advanced 8" 

    and 12" semiconductor wafer production base.
