SEMI China has announced the bestowal of two awards on SMIC for contributions to the industry. Dr. Richard Chang, President and CEO of SMIC, was honoured with the Industry Outstanding Contribution Award, while the company was given the SEMI China Corporate Social Contribution Award. 

Recipients of the award are chosen by SEMI China and over 20 industry media members in recognition of significant contributions to communities and society. Dr. Chang’s contributions include his founding of the EnYou Foundation, which supports and funds the renovation and establishment of schools throughout remote areas of China.

"These awards have come as an honor and surprise to all of us in SMIC," said Dr. Chang. "We want to thank those predecessors, governments, customers, partners, vendors and friends who have supported and encouraged us along the way. Thanks to all SMIC employees, for without your efforts and great contribution, SMIC could not have moved to where we are today."
