High salary and lack of people, why is the integrated circuit industry so popular?

There is a shortage of 200,000 "gold professionals" with an annual salary of 400,000. Among many majors, there is such a "golden major" with a talent gap of 200,000. What's more commendable is that it is a high-paying major with an annual salary of 400,000. This "gold major" is an integrated circuit major. Many people don't know this major. So what is an integrated circuit?

One: Integrated circuits, commonly known as "chips", are widely used in computers, mobile phones, water conservancy, electric power and other public facilities and military equipment. It is the core of information technology industry and the leading industry to support economic and social development and safeguard national security. I believe Mr. Gao, Mrs. Gao and her classmates have heard a lot about the "bottleneck" of integrated circuits/semiconductors. At present, many domestic high-end chip products rely heavily on imports, and domestic independent high-end chips for personal computers and mobile phones are quite scarce. Western countries continue to restrict China's integrated circuit/semiconductor enterprises, which is the status quo. In order to build a "China chip" and expand its chip manufacturing capacity, China will provide extensive support for the "third generation semiconductor" in 2025, and promises to invest 1.4 trillion US dollars (about 9.58 trillion yuan) in wireless networks, artificial intelligence and other technical fields by 2025.

II. The integrated circuit has been officially determined as a "first-class discipline" by the Ministry of Education, and the discipline code is 140 1. This also highlights the importance that the state attaches to this major. Many established universities of science and technology have also set up integrated circuit colleges, among which Tsinghua University is the first university to set up integrated circuit colleges. Other schools have also set up colleges or majors, including Peking University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hangzhou Dianzi University, Sun Yat-sen University and Beihang University. At present, * * * 18 university has obtained the authorization point of doctoral degree in integrated circuit science and engineering, which also represents the best 18 university in China. Among them, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and xidian university's integrated circuit major are ace majors, ranking the top two in soft integrated circuit major.
