Huawei, led by Ren Zhengfei, has overcome many technical problems in recent years and brought independent 5G technology to China. Huawei's rapid development momentum has attracted attention from the United States, which has also been trying to suppress Huawei. In fact, there are still many "obscure" technology companies in China that are focusing on solving key problems. The reason why they are so low-key is not to be targeted by the United States.
Among these technology companies, one such company, China Micro Semiconductor Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Shanghai, China, is particularly typical. The company was founded by Yin Zhiyao, and when it comes to this founder, his background is not small. After graduating from the University of Science and Technology of China, he went to the United States to continue his studies and worked in Silicon Valley after receiving his Ph.D. He has been working for 16 years. The United States makes good use of foreign personnel but has always kept key technologies secret from foreign personnel. However, Yin Zhiyao has achieved good results with his own efforts, and is also known as "the most successful Silicon Valley Chinese in semiconductors." Even after working in Silicon Valley for 16 years, Yin Zhiyao still cares about the motherland. He himself once said: "I have been making wedding dresses for foreigners for decades, and it is time to serve the motherland."
After returning to China, Yin Zhiyao founded China Micro. After founding Zhongwei, Yin Zhiyao still faced various problems. First, there is the issue of funding. After its establishment, China Micro has only less than 50 million US dollars in R&D funds every year. Perhaps many people think that US$50 million is already a large amount, but in fact it is less than one-twentieth of the US investment in this field.
But under these conditions, China Microelectronics Corporation has successively developed a series of plasma etching equipment with 65/45/28/20/14/10/7 nanometer process. The success of a series of researches is in fulfillment of Yin Zhiyao’s promise of “integrating with the international advanced level”. It was the success of the research that made the United States pay attention to AMEC. The U.S. technology community was shocked when they discovered the technological achievements of China Microelectronics Corporation, and they shouted: You should not forget him!
The United States also took quick action in an attempt to prevent the continued development of China Micro. However, AMEC has managed to shake up a giant tree even though it is a small thing. Not only has it avoided the blow of the United States, but it has also surpassed the current development of the United States. In April 2017, AMEC officially announced that it has mastered 5nm technology and will also release a 5nm etching machine. This announcement also indicates that my country has broken through the U.S. monopoly in nanotechnology and reached the pinnacle of semiconductor technology. Yin Zhiyao's achievements made the United States regret it. While saying that he should not be forgotten, the United States should also be aware of the United States' concern about the brain drain. You must know that scientific and technological talents are a very important resource for a country, and the loss of one talent may mean the backwardness of a field.
China's strategy of strengthening the country through science and technology and the strategy of strengthening the country through talent have been continuously implemented in recent years, and the number of scientific and technological talents who choose to return to the motherland for development is also increasing. The development of China Microsystems is the epitome of the development of science and technology in our country. I believe that in the near future, the overall development of China's science and technology will reach a higher level. A series of actions that the United States tried to prevent will also come to nothing.
