A day later, he really did it. In 2004, 60-year-old Yin Zhiyao was determined to return to China, and he resolutely resigned from his million-dollar job in Silicon Valley. But for such an old man who holds the core of chip technology, the United States will naturally not let him go back so easily. Not only did he have a strict examination, but he also took all the design drawings and records in his name, trying to discourage him from returning to China in this way.
However, for all kinds of obstacles, Yin Zhiyao still insists on his dream of returning to China. In the end, he succeeded, not only returning to China by himself, but also bringing back his R&D team of more than 30 people and more than 60 patents on chip technology. After returning to China, he led the R&D team to manufacture high-end chips in China. Most of the credit for HiSilicon Kirin 970 will go to Yin Zhiyao and his R&D team.
Today's Hisilicon Kirin processor is one of the few brands in the high-end field that can directly talk with Apple and Qualcomm. Even Hisilicon Kirin is the chip with the highest transistor density at present. It has 5.5 billion transistors in an area of 65,438+000 square millimeters, which is higher than the 3 billion transistors in Apple and Qualcomm.
Later, Zhongwei Group under the name of Mr. Yin Zhiyao directly announced that it had mastered the technology of 5nm, which made the United States somewhat unprepared. After all, the most powerful thing in Qualcomm today is the 7-nanometer process. It seems that Mr. Yin Zhiyao not only wants to be our own high-end processor, but also wants corner overtaking paper to directly surpass Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and become the first in the world.
Therefore, people who dig wells are never forgotten when drinking water. Without Yin Zhiyao, a "scientist who never forgets his roots", China would never have such a high-end independent chip. I believe that in the future, more scientists like Yin Zhiyao will give up the preferential treatment abroad and choose to return to China to contribute to the development of science and technology in China.
