Mr. Ju Long, Vice President of Global SEMI and President of China Region mentioned in his welcome speech, “The semiconductor material market remains about the same this year and is expected to reach a new high in 2021. There is a large gap between supply and demand of domestic semiconductor materials. After deducting export value, self-sufficiency of materials applied in China's integrated circuits was about 10% in 2010. This is an opportunity for Chinese companies." 17 members of the first session committee were awarded committee certificates one by one.
