What is the most valuable morality for human beings? That is patriotism. - Napoleon
As the saying goes, science and education rejuvenate the country. Since the founding of New China, our country has been developing rapidly in all aspects and has achieved very remarkable results, especially in science and technology, the progress has been very obvious. Many researches are almost on par with those in developed countries. However, because some technologies started relatively late, there are still some key technologies that have not achieved true independent research and development and still need to rely on imports.
In this case, it is common to get stuck. Seeing the situation in the motherland, an old scientist stepped forward and led his team back to China, making a huge contribution to China's breakthrough in technological monopoly. He was Yin Zhiyao. Because of his unhesitating action at that time, China had a truly unique Our own patented technology!
An excellent family created an outstanding person
In 1944, Yin Zhiyao was born in a scholarly family in Beijing. Starting from his grandfather’s generation, the family has always been prosperous and has received national attention. . My grandfather was a government-sponsored overseas student with a very high vision and structure. His father also went to study abroad under the guidance of his grandfather. After graduation, he gave up the high salary abroad and chose to return to China to become a professor and serve the motherland.
You must know that China at that time was still in a turbulent environment. Naturally, many people were puzzled by his father's return to China, but his strong patriotic sentiment made him make the decision without hesitation. This choice. Yin Zhiyao was also influenced by his father, and he has been full of gratitude for his motherland since he was a child.
Yin Zhiyao, who grew up in such an excellent family, is also extraordinary. He has been very good at studying since he was a child, and his grades have always been among the best. He also has many interests and hobbies, especially playing chess. According to him, this hobby can exercise people's thinking and analytical skills. In his free time, he often plays a few games with his grandfather, and they play all day long.
In 1956, Yin Zhiping was admitted to Beijing No. 4 Middle School. Compared with his peers, Yin Zhiping was like a mature and steady big brother. He was knowledgeable and deeply loved by his classmates and teachers. While in school, he has been serving as captain of the Young Pioneers of the *** Youth League, with outstanding abilities.
In 1962, Yin Zhiyao was admitted to the Department of Chemical Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China with excellent results. He has a rich imagination and a super flexible mind, and is very popular in this profession. In the eyes of everyone, chemical physics is a very boring subject, but Yin Zhiping is like a fish in water and learns it well.
He especially likes to do scientific research and experiments. He often stays in the laboratory for whole afternoons. In order to consolidate his professional knowledge, he often goes to the library and asks the teacher if he doesn't understand. Yin Zhiyao's hard work and progress quickly attracted the attention of his teachers. Many teachers like to take him with them when doing experiments and explore with him like a working partner.
Going abroad to learn technology
In 1968, after graduation, Yin Zhiyao was assigned to the Lanzhou Institute of Physical Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences as a researcher. He stayed in this position for 10 years However, in the later stage, as the research deepened, he found that his knowledge reserve could not support the progress of the research, and his research entered a bottleneck period.
In order to learn more professional knowledge, he worked and studied at the same time. In 1978, he was admitted to Peking University for a master's degree in chemistry. After that, he temporarily put down his work and went to Peking University to study for two years. In the past two years, Yin Zhiyao has achieved many excellent research results. His research papers have been published in many professional newspapers and periodicals. The in-depth insights and analyzes in these papers have been valued by the University of California, which extended an olive branch to him.
At that time, China's scientific development was still in its infancy. In order to learn more professional knowledge and keep pace with the world, Yin Zhiyao decided to study abroad at the University of California. During his study abroad, he was like Like a sponge, he constantly absorbed knowledge from his tutors and classmates, and soon almost the entire school knew this friend from the East.
And he also successfully obtained a doctorate in physical chemistry.
In 1984, Yin Zhiyao, who graduated with a Ph.D., quickly got his first job. Intel Corporation in Silicon Valley invited him to work as an engineer and researcher at its U.S. headquarters. It can be said that Intel was one of the best companies in the world in developing computers at the time.
Yin Zhiyao was lucky enough to see this huge computer once when he was studying for his master's degree at Peking University. That magical machine has never been forgotten in Yin Zhiyao's heart. At that time, China did not have a team to develop this machine. Almost without thinking, Yin Zhiyao immediately agreed to the invitation.
In 1984, he came to Silicon Valley and stayed at Intel Corporation for several years. After mastering the technology, he jumped to work at LAM Research Institute and Applied Materials Corporation. In this 16-year career, Yin Zhiyao has also made great achievements. In just 9 years, his team has allowed Applied Materials to occupy 40% of the market share and has multiple patents. It is a remarkable achievement. He is also known as one of the most accomplished Chinese in Silicon Valley.
Never forget China, and return resolutely when you are successful
Since the year 2000, China’s technological development has been changing almost with each passing day. Technology companies have emerged in endlessly, and various research and development are in full swing. Slowly Slowly embarking on the international track! At this time, China is in urgent need of knowledgeable, talented and capable people to come back and contribute their own strength!
Sixteen years ago, Yin Zhiyao was 60 years old. This old man who had lived for most of his life actively responded to the call of the motherland, resolutely gave up his high salary and fame and fortune abroad, and returned to the embrace of the motherland! When he returned to China at this time, he not only brought back all his knowledge and technology, but also brought back his entire team abroad, a total of 15 people!
However, because the United States has very strict supervision of intellectual property rights, Yin Zhiyao and his team could only come back empty-handed, leaving all written materials in the United States. After returning to China, Yin Zhiyao registered Zhongwei Semiconductor Equipment Company in Shanghai without stopping and served as the company's chairman and president.
In the early days of starting a business, Yin Zhiyao and his team encountered many problems. They almost had to fight the world with their bare hands. They could only rely on the rich experience and professional knowledge accumulated in their minds over the years to start from scratch. At that time, Western countries had a monopoly on semiconductors, and China relied on imports of all core technologies from Western countries. In order to get rid of this situation, Yin Zhiyao and his team started technology research and development.
After years of experiments, under the leadership of Yin Zhiyao, these experts have actually produced semiconductor patents that are only Chinese patents, especially in the area of ??etching machines. The etching machine developed by China Micro Semiconductor The etching machine actually achieved a breakthrough of engraving 100 million to 1 billion words on rice grains, completely breaking through the technical monopoly of foreign etching machines.
This technology has also laid a strong technical foundation for my country's independent research and development of chips, and created new opportunities for the development of the motherland's core technology! The old man has great ambitions, and Yin Zhiyao is not stopping here. In order to bring the motherland to a higher level, his team is still working tirelessly. Today, Mr. Yin Zhiyao is over 70 years old, but he has never thought of giving up his mission. His scientific research spirit is worth learning from each of us.
