JCET Group is a public company headquartered in Jiangyin on China's eastern coast. [1] [2] It is the largest Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) company in mainland China and the third-largest globally. [3] JCET was formed in 1972, when Jiangyin converted a local factory to produce transistors. JCET went public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2003 and continued to grow over time. JCET provides a range of semiconductor packaging, assembly, manufacturing, and testing products and services.
JCET (Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology) was founded in 1972, [4] when the Jiangyin converted a factory into a facility for manufacturing transistors. [5] The company's first automated manufacturing processes came online in 1986. [5] JCET went public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in June 2003. [6] Later that year, it introduced several new products and subsidiaries, including the subsidiary JiangYin Changdian Advanced Packaging Co., Ltd. (JCAP) (later renamed as JCET Advanced Packaging Co.). JCAP works with Chinese universities on research and development in the semiconductor industry and became the largest wafer-level packaging company in China. [3]
By 2004, JCET was manufacturing 2.5 billion integrated circuits and 15 billion transistor components annually. [3] It opened a new research and development center in Singapore in 2007 and a new manufacturing facility in Jiangyin in 2008. [3] From 2009 to 2013, JCET's revenues grew 17.8% per-year. [6] The company had US$611 million in annual revenue by 2011, which grew to $711 million by 2012. [3] By 2015, JCET had five production centers in China and more than one billion USD in annual revenues. [7]
In the 2000s, JCET's revenues decreased from more semiconductor companies bringing their packaging in-house, but later grew due to the increased demand for electronics. [3]
JCET completed the acquisition of Singapore-based competitor STATS ChipPAC for $1.8 billion in August 2015. [3] STATS ChipPAC was a competitor of JCET and the fourth-largest semiconductor packaging and testing company. [1] The following year, JCET invested $300 million to double STATS ChipPAC's manufacturing capacity. [3]
JCET Group is the largest Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) company in mainland China and the third-largest globally. [3] JCET also provides semiconductor manufacturing, product development, testing, packaging design, and other services. [3] [8] As of 2019, it has six manufacturing facilities and two R&D centers. [3] [9] [10] As of 2016, JCET holds about 2,600 patents. [9] As of 2013, about 70% of JCET's revenues were from the United States, with 19% from Asia and 12% from Europe. [6]
Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other electrically charged particles. Electronics is a subfield of physics and electrical engineering which uses active devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits to control and amplify the flow of electric current and to convert it from one form to another, such as from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) or from analog signals to digital signals.
An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip, computer chip, or simply chip, is a small electronic device made up of multiple interconnected electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors. These components are etched onto a small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Integrated circuits are used in a wide range of electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and televisions, to perform various functions such as processing and storing information. They have greatly impacted the field of electronics by enabling device miniaturization and enhanced functionality.
Semiconductor device fabrication is the process used to manufacture semiconductor devices, typically integrated circuits (ICs) such as computer processors, microcontrollers, and memory chips. It is a multiple-step photolithographic and physico-chemical process during which electronic circuits are gradually created on a wafer, typically made of pure single-crystal semiconducting material. Silicon is almost always used, but various compound semiconductors are used for specialized applications.

Wafer-level packaging (WLP) is a process in integrated circuit manufacturing where packaging components are attached to an integrated circuit (IC) before the wafer – on which the IC is fabricated – is diced. In WLP, the top and bottom layers of the packaging and the solder bumps are attached to the integrated circuits while they are still in the wafer. This process differs from a conventional process, in which the wafer is sliced into individual circuits (dice) before the packaging components are attached.
Semiconductor consolidation is the trend of semiconductor companies collaborating in order to come to a practical synergy with the goal of being able to operate in a business model that can sustain profitability.
