SMIC Beijing (Jingcheng) · 中芯京城
SMIC | Fab
SMIC’s Beijing expansion JV (中芯京城, 54.04% SMIC-owned), targeting 100,000 wafers/month of 12-inch, 28nm-and-above capacity in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area.
Chinese name: 中芯京城 (Zhōngxīn Jīngchéng)
What does this facility make?
12-inch (300mm) wafers at 28nm and more mature nodes for foundry customers.
Why does it matter?
Reported investment figures vary slightly by source — $7.6 billion (Yicai) and $7.7 billion / RMB 49.7 billion (CnTechPost) — likely the same commitment described at slightly different points or currency conversions; both are given here since no source explicitly reconciles them. Phase 1 was already in use by late 2023; a separate Phase 2 land deal (early 2026) was reported at a total project investment of no less than ¥50 billion (¥40 billion in fixed-asset investment), targeting an annual output value of at least ¥6 billion once fully ramped.
