Communication History Serialization 200- Huawei : "Queen of Chip" who joined in 1996 He Tingbo
He Tingbo:
1969: was born in Changsha, Hunan
1981-1987: Hunan Normal University Affiliated High School , the following picture is the semester identification of senior high school
1987: was admitted to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (1993 Renamed to Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications )
1996: Graduated from the Master of Communications and Semiconductor Physics of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications
1996: Joined Huawei
He Tingbo’s years at Huawei:
1996: 27-year-old graduated from the Master of Posts and Telecommunications He Tingbo joined Huawei
H Tingbo’s first task was to design optical communication chips. She, Zhou Yongjie, Zhou Zhiqing, and several colleagues from the transmission department have developed and designed the earliest optical transmission chips such as SD518 cross-chip and SD519 mapping overhead chips. The story of the development of optical transmission chips: Gao Ji recalled, "Outline-purchased chips are expensive and the cost pressure is huge, which is not conducive to our competition in cost-effectiveness. Since the first generation of transmission products, we embarked on the road of self-development of core chips. At that time, He Tingbo was responsible for developing chips , and Gao Ji was responsible for developing products. Since both the products and the chips used the same set of instruments, I often competed with her for equipment. In order to show her gentlemanly demeanor, I would give in to her every time, but this was not a long-term solution, so we had a "gentleman agreement": she debugged during the day, and I debugged at night..." The first generation of core chips were successfully delivered, and a series of subsequent chips were successfully launched one after another, with cumulative sales of more than 10 million pieces, making the transmission network's "simultaneous digital transmission SDH" product continue to lead in cost and competitiveness. ”
1998: Huawei develops 3G, He Tingbo went to Shanghai alone, establishing the wireless chip department and 3G wireless network chips.
2001: He Tingbo took office and became the head of the basic business department of
Several years later, He Tingbo was transferred to Silicon Valley, USA for two years, witnessing the huge gap in chip design between China and the United States.
October 18, 2004: Huawei established Shenzhen HiSilicon Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and began to make consumer electronic chip products. Hisi 's specific work is led by Hisi and Ai Wei .
and 4's story: It is said that Ren Zhengfei said to He Tingbo, " will give you 20,000 people, with a annual R&D fund of 400 million US dollars, you must stand up ". Ren Zhengfei set a goal for HiSi: will recruit 2,000 people within three years and export 4 billion yuan.
He Tingbo recalled that when he first took over HiSi, Ren Zhengfei always scolded her, and said at the end of the year, " I have a long-term plan." You are petty, spend too little money, and are too slow, which ruined my millennium plan ”
2009: He Tingbo, president of HiSilicon chip, said at a small meeting: " If I can't use the $200 million budget this year, the boss will fire me. "The background at that time was that HiSilicon chip, which had been developed for five years, still could not see any hope. Ren Zhengfei's reaction was not "don't spend this money", but "must spend it".
Around 2009: Huawei 100G project, chip implementation resources are a big problem. When the project team gave the "unfeasible" feasibility report to HiSilicon He Tingbo, she was silent for a long time and said: " HiSilicon even if it was to sell the pot, it would make this chip! ”
The story of the engineer: He Tingbo’s self-report: One year, Mr. Xu and I visited at the University of Berkeley. Professor Hu is the inventor of the two semiconductor processes, FinFET three-dimensional transistor and FDSOI, and is also the winner of the US Presidential Science and Technology Award (this award is only selected in the American science and technology community every year).During the chat, I expressed my respect to him: "Professor Hu, you have been exploring this field for 20 years. To this day, we only have two choices in semiconductors (FinFET three-dimensional transistor and FDSOI). It's amazing! A scientist as amazing as you may soon win the Nobel Prize for !" He answered me very bluntly at the time: " I don't think I am a scientist, I am an engineer . scientists discover the laws that have existed in nature, and engineers want to invent things that do not exist in nature. These things can solve many problems for humans and bring convenience to humans. I am very proud. I am an engineer, and I am the person who invented things. "Until now, his positioning of "engineer" has made me feel very touched by . The story of
mobile phone photo chip: In 2011, some users reported that the photography effect of Huawei mobile phone was not satisfactory, which attracted Ren Zhengfei's own attention. At a Huawei senior meeting that year, Ren Zhengfei asked HiSilicon President He Tingbo: "Why is Huawei's mobile phone not good at taking photos?" He Tingbo replied that it lacks a self-developed ISP (image signal processor). Ren Zhengfei asked again: "Why don't you invest in ISP?" He Tingbo said: "No money."
Ren Zhengfei immediately made a decision: "No one invests, I invest!" In 2012, the HiSilicon team launched the self-developed ISP project.
2016: He Tingbo said: "H As an semiconductor chip engineer, I have been in the industry for twenty years. I have experienced from 0.5 microns to 0.35 and 0.25, and now 28, 16, and 10 nanometers. Now, we are starting to do 7 nanometers and are also following the industry to see more advanced processes such as 5 nanometers. With the evolution of Moore's Law , I am also working with different engineers. In this process, we will always have new problems, new explorations, new learning, new collaborators, and new solutions. ”
October 23, 2017: TSMC 30th Anniversary Forum, the low-key HiSilicon president He Tingbo made his first appearance in Taiwan
2018: Ren Zhengfei said that when I talked about unmanned driving with He Tingbo in Europe, He Tingbo invented a noun " lay eggs along the way ": Unmanned driving is to climb Mount Everest . During the climbing process, some people can go to grease sheep halfway, some people can go to mining halfway, and some people can go to ski halfway,... Applying the incubation technology to various fields is "laying eggs along the way".
March 7, 2019: Huawei 2012 Experimental President and HiSilicon President He Tingbo led a team to Tsinghua to investigate Tsinghua University "School Plan" and explore the new model of school-enterprise cooperation in cultivating basic students' top talents.
May 16, 2019: The US Department of Commerce has included Huawei on the "entity list" and regulated Huawei exports.
May 17, 2019 at 2:00 am: He Tingbo sent an emotional and exciting email to all HiSi people. "This is the choice of history. All the spare tires we have built have been 'turned' overnight!"
Hisi spare tires have become 'turned' overnight, " He Tingbo was also popular ". Ren Zhengfei described: " She has been very uncomfortable over the years and can't keep her head up after so many years. "
May 31, 2019: He Tingbo won the Forbes "China Women in Tech" list of 50 women.
October 8, 2019: He Tingbo returned to Beijing Post alma mater and had a discussion with alumni
December 2019: He Tingbo won the "2019 China Internet Economic Person of the Year Award". Reason for winning: is a chat and laughter, and the masts and oars are wiped out. She led the "spare tire" to become a regular overnight, and she led the Qilin to chase the peak. She lets the Chinese people see what is technological independence and what is putting it to death and then having a life of .
February 2020: He Tingbo ranked 6th in the "China's Most Outstanding Business Women Ranking"
Hongmeng Class "settling" story: In 2020, Huawei joined hands with Northwestern Polytechnical University to establish Hongmeng class to jointly develop the Chinese people's own software operating system. In the previous Huawei internal meeting, He Tingbo confirmed to Ren Zhengfei many times about where the Hongmeng class "settled": ", Mr. Ren, do you really not consider Tsinghua University, , Peking University ? ". Ren Zhengfei retorted: " If the people from Tsinghua University and Peking University run away after coming, who will take the responsibility? Is it you? " Ren Zhengfei added: Huawei is not that there is no money to recruit people from Peking University and Tsinghua University, but that they are likely to leave again when they come. In the past, Huawei introduced a lot of technology from abroad, and we finally found that many of them were developed by Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley . The Chinese chickens went abroad to lay eggs. Since that's the case, why can't we choose the chickens lay eggs in China? ”
September 2020: low-key Huawei HiSilicon president He Tingbo appeared in the CCTV news report.
April 1, 2022: Huawei announced that it will complete the election of the board of supervisors, and He Tingbo is a member of the board of directors.
