According to data, my country’s imported chips accounted for 80% of the world’s total in 2020. China is still the largest market for chips. China’s manufacturing industry must solve this problem, especially Huawei’s revenue in chips. After being severely hindered by the United States, China's chip development is also facing a difficult dilemma.
In order to get rid of the monopoly of the United States in the field of technology, the European Union is preparing to spend huge sums of money to strengthen the chip industry. China has also realized that promoting the chip process plays an important role, and has written the third-generation semiconductor industry into " In the 14th Five-Year Plan, the latest news shows that the equipment sub-group of China Electronics Technology has successfully localized the full range of ion implanter products, including medium beam, large beam, high energy, special applications and third-generation semiconductor plasma implanters. , the process section covers up to 28nm, and a total of 413 core invention patents have been formed.
The breakthrough merger and acquisition of domestic chips is also the most important point. Recently, the American chip giant Intel announced that it will acquire Altera, a manufacturer of programming logic chips, for a total of US$16.7 billion. This time it also created Intel’s largest According to the record amount, the main thrust of this wave of mergers and acquisitions in the chip industry is that the chip industry is shifting from the traditional PC side to the mobile and Internet of Things sides. In addition, with the advent of the post-Moore's Law era, chip research and development costs are rising.
Chinese consortiums have also become buyers of overseas chip companies. In order to improve the situation in which my country's chip consumption relies heavily on overseas imports and domestic chip manufacturers have low innovation capabilities, new policies such as the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund and Against the background of the establishment of financing platforms, Chinese chip companies have been accelerating the pace of acquiring overseas chip companies in recent years.
In addition to the merger and acquisition frenzy, the breakthrough of China's chips requires the cooperation of other chains. Compared with the foreign chip industry, my country's chip industry has various deficiencies from upstream equipment manufacturing to downstream system software and electronic products. The industrial chain is weak and it has always been at a disadvantage in the global industrial chain competition. China's chip breakthrough can currently rely not on the chip product itself, but on the demand from the chip supporting industry.
