It's hard for us to break through the chip technology of the first two generations for a long time, so we have to find another way to start research and development on the third generation chip, because all countries have not made progress in the third generation chip technology, and it's even more impossible for western countries to have the ability to block our country's technology, so it's a little less difficult for us to carry out research and development, which is the best chance for us to achieve overtaking in the chip field.
At present, the research of the third generation chip is mainly based on silicon carbide, and the relevant enterprises and academic institutions in Hefei are in the lead in China, because it plans to become the second largest chip base in our country. It is understood that the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei has reached a preliminary cooperation with Hungarian scholars, realizing the manipulation and readout of a single silicon carbide double vacancy color center electron spin at room temperature, which is very helpful for us to develop silicon carbide into a semiconductor material.
in addition to the research of relevant enterprises and academic institutions in Hefei, new energy vehicles are also being tried. BYD installed silicon carbide components on the high-performance four-wheel drive version of Han EV, which is BYD's first attempt in silicon carbide materials. Tesla also installed silicon carbide inverters on the latest model. With the continuous attempts of new energy vehicles and silicon carbide materials, we are more confident in applying silicon carbide to chip materials suppliers in the future.
Because most of the third-generation chip materials are used in photovoltaic, new energy vehicles and 5G networks, and the markets in these fields happen to be in China, it is said that China will be the place with the largest concentration of silicon carbide materials in the future, which is also the most conducive to the progress of promoting silicon carbide research in our country.
some netizens wondered why the third-generation chip material is silicon carbide. The requirement for the third generation chip material is that it has the characteristics of silicon, and at the same time, it must meet the application of new equipment. Compared with other materials, silicon carbide is the most suitable.
As a substitute material for silicon, silicon carbide not only has all the advantages of silicon, but also fills its disadvantages, and also has the characteristics of high pressure, high temperature and even high frequency resistance. It is particularly worth mentioning that under the same performance, the size of silicon carbide is smaller and the energy loss is much smaller than that of silica gel wafer, which makes the working efficiency of silicon carbide much higher.
It is precisely because the advantages of silicon carbide are far greater than those of the second generation chip materials that various countries attach great importance to the research of silicon carbide. If silicon carbide is successfully applied, it will make the chip manufacturing level reach a higher level.
when we finally realized that chip technology is very important, western countries began to block our country's technology, and even refused to provide our country with chips. Just like in 19 years, Huawei was cut off from the United States because its 5G network overtook the United States. Moreover, our country wanted to buy a mask aligner from ARM, but it didn't get a response.
The current chip field can be said to be monopolized by western countries. Because western countries have mastered many patents of the second-generation chip materials, it is very difficult for us to break through these patents. Therefore, we can only try our best to break through the third-generation chip materials, and it is possible to end the situation of being blocked by technology before western countries have patents.
The research on silicon carbide is not only related to the field of chips, but also related to the development of many industries in our country. If we can't catch up with other countries in the third generation of chip materials, then we will continue to face the situation of technology blockade. In the future, if we catch up with other fields, we will still be restricted by other countries, and we will not be able to show our talents.
