Synops Technology was investigated and expressed its opinion on the Chinese market again? Ni Guangnan’s prediction of is correct!
A chip sized by fingernail is formed using the world's top technology. After hundreds of processes, the entire process is divided into three links, namely R&D design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing. The EDA software, known as the "Mother of Chips", is the beginning of all steps.
In the EDA software market, American companies occupy more than 90% of the market share, while Huawei relies on the technical support of Synopsys to design the world's first 5nm chip. However, with the continuous upgrading of chip rules, cooperation between the two parties has almost been interrupted.
The US deliberately found fault and forcibly determined that Synopsys and Huawei HiSilicon still had a cooperation. In order to prove its innocence, it had to accept the review of "one's own people". Recently, Synopsys once again appeared at China Developer Conference , expressing its attitude again. Is this a show of goodwill in the Chinese market?
Synopsys' attitude
China's semiconductor industry development can be said to have exceeded the imagination of the United States. Previously, the United States interrupted the supply of ECAD software for Chinese companies. You should know that this is used for chip designs of 3nm and below. Chinese companies are far from reaching this state. It can be seen that the United States is already anxious and does not miss any opportunities for restrictions.
The ordinary version of EDA software has entered the restriction list very early and cannot be opened to Chinese companies without authorization. It can be said that it directly hinders the progress of domestic chips. Fortunately, Chinese companies did not surrender and went faster and faster on the road of independentization.
What the US did not expect was that it had tried its best to limit the export of technology, but the development of domestic chips did not slow down at all, so it turned the suspect to "one of its own people". As a giant in the industry, Synopsys Technology is naturally listed as a key object of review and is suspected to be authorized to enterprises in the "entity list" for use without permission. After rigorous review, no problems were found. This approach also sent a clear signal that once the development of domestic chip manufacturers, there will be any signs of catching up with the US companies, all technical authorization will be interrupted, so we only have the path of self-development.
After being investigated, Synopsys Technology did not give up its continued layout in the Chinese market due to pressure from the United States, and appeared again at the China Developer Conference. It stated: "A large number of system-level companies have demand for new brand development, and Synopsys Technology will benefit from it!" The sentence
seems to say nothing on the surface, but if it is analyzed in combination with the current market environment, it has a completely different explanation. It is obvious that this is a kindness for the Chinese market. The relevant restrictions of the United States are no longer popular, and all "people" have begun to oppose it, and Synopsys Technology is naturally no exception.
After the United States forcibly interfered with the import and export of chips, many domestic companies were afraid to repeat Huawei's mistakes. Huawei, Alibaba , Tencent , BYD , Xiaomi and other industry giants have all started their own chip development plans, and chip design naturally requires EDA software, which makes it easy to understand that sentence.
Ni Guangnan's prediction is correct
As the world's largest chip market, international companies have realized this problem. Although the relevant restrictions of the United States have not relaxed at all, they have long been unpopular. In addition to American companies, they are already trying to get rid of it. The results achieved can be said to be minimal. Even if companies such as
ASML, Synopsys, etc., dare not underestimate the Chinese market even if they have the advantage of monopolizing the global market. The determination shown by Chinese companies has forced them to please. In order not to decline the influence of the US technology system, without violating the rules, the US will naturally not interfere too much in cooperation with enterprises outside the "entity list".
Currently, China Enterprise Huada Jiutian has implemented the 28nm chip design simulation process. After a period of research and development, EDA software that can be used to design 28nm chips can be officially born. Currently, the proportion of mature processes in China accounts for more than 90%, which is undoubtedly a qualitative leap .
Therefore, in addition to facing the facts that are restricted, we must also prevent the "sugar-coated shells" of US companies. It is very likely that they do not come from sincerity, in order to hit the R&D confidence of Chinese companies and achieve the goal of consolidating the market.
domestic EDA software is still in its infancy. Huada Jiutian’s breakthrough technology is only 28nm, and it has no advantages in terms of ecological system, technology, price, etc., but if it can get support from domestic companies, the development speed can be very fast.
The United States destroys the ecological balance of the international industrial chain, which is destined to cause a series of chain reactions. As Academician Ni Guangnan said: "Advanced technology cannot be obtained, bought, or replaced!" For the current Chinese semiconductor industry, the real challenge has just begun. What do you think about this?
