The Advanced Semiconductor Research Center (ASRC) at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) is jointly established by XJTLU, the National Centreof Technology Innovation for Advanced Semiconductors (Suzhou), and the China advanced Semiconductor Industry Innovation Alliance (CASA,Beijing). It serves as an influential international research platform in the field of wide-bandgap semiconductors. Leveraging the unique advantages of XJTLU as a Sino-foreign cooperative university, the center is committed to building an interdisciplinary, cross-campus international hub for collaborative innovation.
The ASRC closely aligns with national strategies and local industrial demands, focusing on core technology R&D in wide-bandgap semiconductor electronic device design, fabrication, and integration. With laboratory space exceeding 2,000 square meters and equipment investment nearing 60 million RMB, the center has established comprehensive R&D capabilities covering the entire chain from “design-process-testing-application.” To date, it has undertaken more than 20 major national and provincial-level research projects, including the National Key R&D Program, with research areas extending to cutting-edge applications such as industrial motor drives, satellite communications, and new energy vehicles.
To deepen industry-academia-research integration, the ASRC actively explores diverse collaborative models, including commissioned technical challenges, joint laboratories, innovation consortiums, and corporate entities. These efforts have established effective mechanisms for synergistic research on critical technologies. The center has filed 47 invention patent applications, effectively promoting the transformation and application of technological achievements and demonstrating robust collaborative innovation capabilities.
By bringing together a multidisciplinary and international R&D team and cultivating high-end talent through an “industry-academia integration” model, the ASRC is dedicated to fostering a virtuous cycle of “talent cultivation-technological innovation-industrial empowerment.” It provides solid support for the independent, controllable, and innovative development of China’s semiconductor industry.
