First, ZTE , Huawei , and then Inspur and other Chinese technology companies. The unreasonable sanctions of the United States have aroused dissatisfaction among Chinese people, and most people have begun to find that chips play a crucial role in the development of a country. However, chips have always been a shortcoming in China's technology industry. Although Huawei can design chips independently, it has still been unable to manufacture them independently so far.
It is precisely this way. Chinese technology companies rely heavily on imported chips, which has led to the fact that China's technology industry has been unable to escape the restrictions of other countries. This has to make people wonder. With the continuous development of the economy and society, China's scientific and technological level has been greatly improved. Why can't independent chip manufacturing be achieved? Can't China really make chips? In fact, this is not the case, most people should know the reason.
China cannot introduce advanced EUV lithography machines, so it is naturally unable to manufacture advanced chips. At present, we have only two options: one is to develop lithography machine equipment, and the other is to find another way to develop new materials. Just like the development of lithography machines, Shanghai Microelectronics has launched a 28nm lithography machine, but it has not been commercially available so far. However, other manufacturers have launched 5nm lithography machines, which shows the gap between domestic lithography machines and advanced lithography machines.
Although there is a huge gap between 5nm chips and 28nm chips, 28nm chips can meet the requirements of most industrial development in practical applications. If it is a high-precision chip, it is actually an overperformance for consumers. At the same time, Chinese technology companies have broken through some technical blockades in materials and used carbon nanotube to replace transistor , so that carbon-based chip manufacturing can be realized without using a lithography machine.
In order to break the technological blockade in other countries and realize the domestic substitution of chips, some technology companies and universities have begun to independently develop. But in fact, compared to chip monopoly, the loss of talent is more terrible. , the founder of Zhongwei Semiconductor, Yin Zhiyao, once said in an interview that during his study in the United States, he found that most of the top American technical talents were Chinese. It can be said that China's talent loss problem is very serious.
was a student of Tsinghua University - Gao Xingxin . Later, he was a Ph.D. from Stanford University in the United States. He mainly studied satellite navigation major and broke through EU Galileo navigation and positioning programming twice in a row and realized tracking. Navigation satellites and communication technology play a crucial role in the development of any country. Gao Xingxin improved her status with Galileo navigation and positioning programming and obtained a green card provided by the United States. However, Gao Xingxin's ambitions are more than Galileo's navigation and positioning programming.
With the launch of the Beidou satellite, Gao Xingxin had a new idea and targeted China's satellite system. She explored the Beidou satellite without permission and mastered some civilian digital data. Although Gao Xingxin disclosed all the civilian digital data, the operation of cracking the Beidou satellite at will still aroused the dissatisfaction of countless Chinese people with Gao Xingxin.
Most of China's top talents have received high-quality education in China, but they chose to study abroad and become high-tech talents in other countries. To a certain extent, they have promoted the development of other countries, causing the talents that China has worked hard to cultivate to become the "wedding dress" for others. This is a heart-wrenching thing. It can be seen that China has certain problems in cultivating talents, which reflects the difficulties people face in employment.
You should know that major universities have always focused on books for their cultivation of talents, and have not carried out certain practices, which has led to the inability to think about problems independently. In addition, China does not attach importance to the development of high-tech industries and ignores students' demand for this aspect, which has led to the situation of "unemployment after graduation" that has always troubled most graduates. Because the major I studied was unable to find a suitable job, most people chose to change careers, and some students with excellent family backgrounds chose to study abroad.
With the increasing number of overseas students, the phenomenon of "graduation is unemployment" is becoming increasingly obvious. Most graduates are unable to fully utilize their abilities, resulting in the continuous expansion of talent loss. According to the "China Integrated Circuit Industry Talent White Paper", the pre-tax wage of China's integrated circuit industry is 12,326 yuan/month, far lower than the pre-tax wage of the real estate and financial industries. You should know that the wages of the rising real estate, finance and Internet industries have reached 80,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan.
In order to achieve the long-term development of the semiconductor industry, eight universities in China have made an important decision to cultivate some professional integrated circuit talents and increase efforts to develop integrated circuits and related disciplines, including Tsinghua University and Peking University . At present, most universities have begun to respond to the call of relevant departments, focusing on some defects in the integrated circuit industry, thereby achieving stable development of the semiconductor industry. It can be said that China's technology companies and universities have discovered an important role in the high-tech industry.
Regarding the issue of talent loss, it shows the shortcomings in China's integrated circuit industry and education. It blindly develops the real estate, finance and Internet industries, and ignores the development of the integrated circuit industry, which has led to the development of the domestic chip and semiconductor industries being subject to others. You should know that the top six semiconductor experts in the world are all Chinese, including lithography machines, 5nm processes, and 3nm transistors and problems, all solved by Chinese.
However, the development of the real estate industry is about to reach a saturation state. To maintain the stable development of a country, major enterprises need to adjust their development strategies and target high-tech industries such as integrated circuits. If this trend continues to develop, the problem of talent loss will be effectively controlled, and the development of China's integrated circuit industry is about to usher in a climax.
You should know that the development of the global semiconductor industry and the ASML company becoming the only manufacturer in the world that can manufacture EUV lithography machines is all due to the continuous research and development of Chinese people. However, most Chinese people are unwilling to return to the embrace of their motherland, and some Chinese even settle in other countries, resulting in the increasingly serious loss of talent in China, and it is very difficult to master some core technologies. In order to retain talents, Tsinghua University spent money to establish the School of Integrated Circuits to gradually alleviate its own passivity.
Integrated Circuit College can not only cultivate talents in related majors, but also promote the development of China's semiconductor industry, learn corporate management in different countries, and improve students' practical ability. In addition to Tsinghua University, University of Electronic Science and Technology has launched a unique method to cultivate talents and named it "Integrated Circuit Industry-education Integrated Innovation Platform". Compared with the development models of other colleges, the integrated circuit industry-education integration innovation platform combines industry and education, meeting the teaching model of applying what you have learned.
It can be said that this development model of the University of Electronic Science and Technology has solved the problems faced by most graduates and alleviated the pressure brought by "unemployment after graduation". If this trend continues to develop, the future development of domestic chips will be very considerable. Once this development model is applied, there will be reference for the development of the integrated circuit industry. It can be seen that this is not just a model, but also a practice and an attempt.
In fact, avoiding talent loss has become the top priority for most technology companies. How to cultivate and retain talents is a problem that major technology companies and universities need to solve. Just as Ren Zhengfei said, you should let the chickens you raise return to your nest to lay eggs; Cao Dewang, the founder of Fuyao Group, once said that the inability to retain the engineers he worked hard to train, which has caused his own development to be affected to a certain extent.
In order to call on the call of major entrepreneurs, Huawei established a software university; Cao Dewang spent 10 billion yuan to establish a university of science and technology, striving to cultivate a group of talents related to the integrated circuit industry, and threw out a huge amount of funds to support graduates who want to start their own businesses, thereby avoiding talent loss.
Summary
What is more terrifying than chip monopoly is the loss of talents. Most of the top talents in the United States come from China. This group has promoted the development of the US semiconductor industry to a certain extent. Faced with this situation, Chinese universities have made important decisions, and Tsinghua University and other universities have made plans in the semiconductor industry. Do you have any unique insights into the loss of talent?
