福建晋华集成电路有限公司经历长达六年的法律困境后,于2024年2月27日获得美国旧金山联邦法院的无罪裁定[1]。这家成立于2016年2月26日、注册资本344.77亿元的国产存储芯片基地,与长鑫科技、长江存储并列为国产存储芯片基地[1]。2018年10月,晋华被美国商务部列入实体清单,2018年11月美国司法部以经济间谍活动罪名起诉相关人员,导致产线停摆[1]。2023年底,美光公司与晋华达成全球和解协议[1]。
目前晋华已恢复正常运营,12英寸晶圆厂月产能约4万片DDR4芯片,规划2026年扩至6万片[1]。公司手握1007项相关专利,主要产品用于智能电视、机顶盒等消费类产品[1]。2025年1月,原总经理陈正坤因聘用合同到期卸任[1]。作为晋江集成电路产业龙头,晋华的恢复也带动了当地产业发展——晋江已对接落地52个集成电路产业链项目,2024年集成电路产业规上企业产值预计超100亿元[1]。
Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co., Ltd., established on February 26, 2016, with registered capital of 34.477 billion yuan, has emerged as a leading domestic DRAM chipmaker alongside Changxin Technology and Yangtze River Storage [1]. The company, founded through joint investment by three state-owned enterprises in Jinjiang, faced a prolonged crisis after being placed on the U.S. Department of Commerce's Entity List in October 2018 and facing criminal charges from the U.S. Department of Justice in November 2018 for alleged economic espionage involving former executive Chen Zhengkun and others [1]. Production lines halted for six years following these actions [1].
A major turning point came in late 2023 when Micron Technology announced a global settlement agreement with Jinhua [1]. On February 27, 2024, the U.S. Federal Court in San Francisco ruled that Jinhua was not guilty [1]. Chen Zhengkun stepped down as general manager in January 2025 due to the expiration of his employment contract [1]. Currently, Jinhua's 12-inch wafer fabrication plant produces approximately 40,000 pieces of DDR4 chips monthly, with plans to expand capacity to 60,000 pieces by 2026 [1]. The company holds 1,007 related patents and primarily manufactures DDR4 chips for consumer electronics such as smart televisions and set-top boxes [1].
Jinjiang has successfully attracted 52 integrated circuit industry chain projects, with the region's integrated circuit industry predicted to generate over 10 billion yuan in output value for enterprises above designated scale in 2024 [1].
