During the high summer season, the production workshop of Fujian Huaqing Electronic Material Technology Co., Ltd., located in Wuli Industry Zone, Jinjiang City, was busy. The machines ran, the workers shuttle, cast typing, high-temperature sintering, laser-cutting and etc. Pieces of Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Substrates had come off the production line, waiting to be sent to all parts of the country.
"Although it seems trivial, but the tech it has is full." Shi Junqiao, director and CEO of Huaqing Electronic Material told reporters that, "Aluminum Nitride Ceramic substrates have high thermal conductivity, low dielectric loss, good insulation performance and so on, which are widely used 5G communication, LED packaging, semiconductor, IGBT, image sensing, new energy vehicles and other high-tech leading areas."
As the first domestic enterprise with mass production capacity of Aluminum Nitride Ceramic substrates in China, Huaqing Electronic Material, occupies the first place in China and the top three in the world in the industry segment, is a national high-tech and special new little giant enterprise. When asked about the secret of success, Shi blurted out three words: Persistence, innovation and responsibility.
"We should have the guts to be the first mover. From childhood, my father has always instilled a concept in me, we Jinjiang people are not afraid to try and lose." In 2006, his father Shi Chunxi, who has been engaged in traditional textiles manufacturing industries for more than 20 years, saw that the clothing industry has overcapacity, while new electronic material has broad prospects, so he had the idea of transforming and investing in electronic ceramic materials.
Shi Junqiao remembered clearly that a professor at Tsinghua University showed his father a small ceramic sample, said that, this sample is worth $100, more expensive than gold. His father was fascinated immediately that such a small thing has a high technological content! In addition, the province and city were vigorously encouraging enterprises to transform and upgrade to new industry, Shi Chunxi resolutely stepped into the new material industry. After returning from studying abroad, Shi Junqiao also entered the enterprise to fight side by side with his father.
At that time, the R&D and production of Aluminum Nitride Ceramic materials was still blank in China. "We were the first mover, and it's not a big deal to lose." With this ambition, the company built a team of professors and doctors of Tsinghua University to embark the road of industrialization of Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Substrates without distraction by investing heavily in importing advanced equipment from abroad.
However, the hardship of the pioneers are far beyond imagination. From 2000 to 2017, the company invested a total of 200 million yuan in research and development, and even could not pay salaries, relying on the money earned by the family in textile industry. Shi said, there was many opportunities to make quick money at that time, and some people were interested in acquiring company. But he didn't give up. He traveled all over the country, and went to the United States and Japan many times to invite talents and experts. Recalling that his father still dared to fight as he did when he started his business as early years, Shi Junqiao felt very proud.
In the darkness time, the help of government made him feel grateful. Whenever there is a problem, a special person would appointed immediately to solve. And Shi Junqiao said, "There were places that offered favorable conditions, but we still stayed, because we couldn't give up our root."
As the saying goes, ten years for sharpening a sword. In 2018, Huaqing Electronic Material achieved its first profit. Its sales increased by more than 30% for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2020, and exceeded 100 million for the first time in 2020. The domestic Aluminum Nitride ceramics market share exceeded 50%, and the products were also in short supply during the epidemic and sold at home and abroad.
Adhere to the original intention of good material
In the analytical test center, a technician is carefully testing the performance of products with precision instrument. The staff told the reporter that, "In the past, testing products through a third-party professional inspection agency took several days, which was extremely inefficient. After we invested 10 million yuan to build a new analytical test center last year, we could test at any time to improve R&D efficiency. And we are also the only company in the industry that has built its own analytical and test center."
Shi Junqiao said, "General Sectary Xi Jinping said that key core technology cannot be bought or obtained. It's not like build the exact same factory and make the same products." After years of industrial testing and independent R&D, Huaqing Electronic Material has mastered all core technology of manufacturing Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Substrates to fill the domestic gap and already has 67 patents.
Behind the success is the unremitting pursuit of scientific research. The company continues to increase investment in research and development, and the intensity of investment fund has increase to 8%. "Talent is the first element. We recruit talents with high salaries, and as the company's popularity continues to increase, more and more top talents in the field of ceramics are willing to join our team." Shi Junqiao told the reporter that, in the past two years, the company has introduced 2 doctors and 20 masters, accounting for more than 15% of technical research and development personnel, and has established school-enterprise research and development cooperation with many universities and institutions such as Tshinghua University, Zhejiang University of Technology, Xiamen University, and Guo Jie Senior Professor Science and Technology and Development Academy. "Last year, Wu Huaqiang, dean of the School of Integrated Circuits of Tsinghua University, came to our company to investigate and expressed great admiration for our ability to adhere to material research for more than 10 years."
Leading in domestic market is just the first step, by no means the final goal. Shi Junqiao told the reporter that, "At present, companies with a large production capacity in the global market are mainly concentrated abroad. If Japanese enterprises are postdocs, then we are just elementary school students, catching up with the benchmark all the way." Under the rapid development of 5G communication and promotion of electronic materials, the market demand for domestic Aluminum Nitride Ceramic material in the future will exceed 10 million, while the annual capacity of Huaqing is 5 million pieces. "Our vision is to become a world-class supplier of electronic ceramic materials!" Shi Junqiao was full of confidence.
At present, Jinjiang is actively integrating into the national strategic layout, using the strength of the whole city to develop the integrated circuit industry to accelerate the creation of a 100 billion digital industrial cluster.
"In the past, we suffered from the lack of industrial support equipment, relying on ourselves to run. And now with Quanzhou semiconductor high-tech zone, I believe the industrial support will be more complete in the future." Shi Junqiao revealed that in the past two years, they had invested 500 million yuan to expand production capacity. "We will continue to adhere to the original intention of good material under the guidance of Jinjiang Experience, and actively integrated into the development of Jinjiang integrated circuit industry in Quanzhou semiconductor high-tech zone to expand from existing substrate materials to the industrial chains to contribute a force in the semiconductor industry."
Inheriting Jinjiang Experience is a responsibility
"I am fortunate to be able to relay innovation laid down by my father." Shi Junqiao, who was born in 1896, can find many commonalities, like broad vision, active thinking, distinctive personality and full of momentum.
"Dare to be the first, fight to win, innovate and adhere to industry, the spirit we must pass down." In Shi Junqiao's view, inheriting the Jinjiang experience is a responsibility. The conflicts between old and new are inevitable. Leading a team based on the 80people. Shi Junqiao dares to introduce new ideas and models, talents and wisdom to increase efficiency. He said, "At first, my father was strongly against it, but when I achieved some results, he let go."
"Fraternity and dedication are also an important manifestation of Jinjiang's entrepreneurial spirit. My father always taught me that the development of enterprises is inseparable from the policies of the party and all sectors of society. As long as we have the ability, we will do good deeds." Shi Junqiao said. Up to now, the family of Shi Chunxi has donate more than 30 million yuan to public. And they has been awarded many honorary titles such as Charity Family, Outstanding Contribution Award for Donations to Public and so on. In November 2020, Shi Junqiao donated 1 million yuan to the Jinjiang Charity Federation. During the epidemic, he donated another 300,000 yuan to help fight the epidemic.
The experience of growing up in Hong Kong has made Shi Junqiao have a personal feeling of his hometown . As a member of the Standing Committee of the Xiamen CPPCC, director of the Fujian Hong Kong CPPCC Friendship Association, and the deputy director of the Youth Committee of the Hong Kong Federation of Fujian Community Organizations, he always spared no efforts to participating in the the work. "Young people should have a pioneering spirit, a sense of innovation, and a practical work style. If you don't speak up now, when will you wait for?"
During the election of Hong Kong's Legislative Council, Shi Junqiao was busy for two whole months. Lead the youth of hometown association to sweep and distribute welfare. Relevant leaders of the united front work department praised that they are good in the community both pay and contribute. Shi Junqiao said, "As a member of the Hong Kong CPPCC, it's necessary to play the dual positive role of Hong Kong and Macao members, and make modest contributions to ensuring the stable and long-term implementation of One Country, Two Systems." From Jinjiang to Xiangjiang, Shi Junqiao's feelings and responsibilities have always been the same.
