Life is Perfect

Broad application prospects, the core, the infighting of chip manufacturers has never stopped.

Surrounded by technological innovation, capital drive and national strategy, the global chip market has been reshuffled several times.

Now, under the support of Gao Xiang, Godson Company has made a breakthrough.

"Now the entire chip market is surging, Qualcomm has just emerged from the Broadcom acquisition war, and now it is caught in the privatization of the former chairman, and not long ago, the US Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States rejected Broadcom's plan to acquire Qualcomm on the grounds of national security. ."

Gao Xiang said: "For a long time, due to pressures such as slowing growth and rising costs, chip makers have acquired new technologies through mergers and acquisitions on the one hand, and cut manufacturing, sales and development costs on the other."

"Our current chip No. [-] comes out, and that is a trillion-dollar market!"

"yes!"

Xia Lan nodded and said, "According to our research.

In the next ten years, the chip industry is likely to move from horizontal integration to upstream and downstream vertical integration.

From horizontal to vertical integration, the comprehensive strength of chip manufacturers will become stronger and stronger, and the industrial concentration will also become higher and higher."

"So you are really amazing, and you have designed such a chip, which is a huge impact on the entire chip market, and we have also mastered the upstream technology!"

In order to get rid of the monopoly of international giants, many countries have proposed development plans for the chip industry to help local companies catch up through national policy support.

Now Gao Xiang's chip No. [-] has been recognized and supported by the state, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences also hopes to fry the designer of this chip No. [-].

"By the way, the Chinese Academy of Sciences wants to see you, do you want to come to the capital to see you?"

: The second update, I beg for automatic subscription and monthly pass, flowers, evaluation tickets, all support, thank you.

Chapter 822

Gao Xiang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was slightly taken aback! Although he was not from the scientific community, Gao Xiang still knew something about the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the highest academic institution of natural science in China, the highest consulting institution of science and technology, and the comprehensive research and development center of natural science and high technology. The overall level of such disciplines has entered the world's advanced ranks, and some fields also have a good momentum of entering the world's first phalanx.

Among them, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has a National Engineering Technology Research Center.

The National Engineering Technology Research Center contains many research centers, including the National Optoelectronic Crystal Materials Engineering Research Center, the National Semiconductor-Pumped Laser Engineering Technology Research Center, etc., which are all researching chips and semiconductors.

Gao Xiang's No. [-] chip is so advanced, it will naturally attract the attention of the Chinese Academy of Sciences! Xia Lan said: "This academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences does not come to see you in the name of an official, but only in the name of a friend. He is me and Old Lu's friend, so if you are interested, you can come and meet him!"

"Now the whole chip market is really surging, and the market is still in the hands of limited giants.

According to statistics, the global chip output value in 20 years exceeded 390 billion US dollars, but nearly 50% of the sales were divided by the top ten chip manufacturers."

"For now, foreign companies have an absolute monopoly in the chip market.

Data show that Intel and Samsung Electronics Co. alone account for more than one-fifth of the global chip market share.

In the field of memory chips, the monopoly is even worse, and the five semiconductor companies in the United States, Japan and South Korea occupy almost 95% of the world's memory market."

"This time, if you can come to the capital to meet my friend, maybe you can use his power to develop the chip vigorously!"

Xia Lan is also good for Gao Xiang! Although I now have the blueprints and related technical drawings of the No. [-] chip, there is still a lack of talents. The simplest reason is that when you take out the drawings, at least the personnel involved in the production must understand the drawings. Yes, otherwise it will not be possible to produce at all! This is the most basic problem! Therefore, it is still a talent problem! If you can learn more about chip talents through mother-in-law Xia Lan, then it is definitely a very good thing.

Gao Xiang pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, we have produced such an advanced chip as Chip One, but there is still a lack of talents. If the talents can't keep up, it will be difficult to add more advanced chips later!"

"Yes, that's what I thought!"

Xia Lan said: "I believe that my friends can bring you a lot of talents. If our technology can keep up, our talents must keep up."

In the first echelon of chip manufacturing, competition is fierce.

Because the number of components that can be accommodated on an integrated circuit doubles every 18 months, the performance also doubles.

In fact, in the past half century, the global chip industry has experienced two major industrial shifts, the first in the late 20s and the second in the late 70s, except... .. Huge volume and perfect industrial chain also make it difficult to break the monopoly situation.

There are two main modes in the global chip industry chain, one is the integrated component manufacturer mode, that is, one company covers the entire integrated circuit industry chain, and the other is the vertical division of labor mode, that is, design, manufacturing and packaging and testing are completed by different manufacturers.

Most of the world's top 20 chip manufacturers are models, which means that industry giants have absolute control over the entire industry chain.

Enterprises that adopt the vertical division of labor model have leading technology in a certain link of the industrial chain.

For example, the lithography machine produced by the company has an absolute advantage in chip manufacturing.

"Okay, then I'll take the time to go to the capital!"

Gao Xiang said: "We have advanced chips, and we still need to expand to find a way to break through the monopoly of the five... giants!"

The chip industry is upgrading very fast, and the industry threshold is high. It belongs to high investment and high research and development, but the return is slow.

In addition, the investment in the manufacturing plant is also very staggering. Due to the very demanding process requirements, the construction cost of the plant is also unbearable for most enterprises.

According to public information, TSMC's two-inch fab has invested more than $116 billion.

The gap in technology is even more obvious. Taking wafer foundry technology as an example, the world's leading TSMC foundry technology reaches 7 nanometers, while my country's largest chip foundry company SMIC can only reach 28 nanometers. .

Now Gao Xiang's chip No. 4 can reach [-] nanometers, which is definitely the most advanced chip and processing technology in the world.

"Currently, the global chip industry is facing a new round of changes.

On the one hand, the adjustment of the global market structure has accelerated, the scale of investment has risen rapidly, and the market share has accelerated to concentrate on dominant companies. There is a new trend in the evolution of chip manufacturing technology.

Under the new situation, the development of emerging enterprises will also usher in rare opportunities."

Gao Xiang suddenly said confidently: "This time is an absolutely good opportunity for our development!"

"And solve the problem of these chips, we will deploy artificial intelligence. In less than 3 years, I want our country's chip technology and artificial intelligence to be at the forefront of the world!"
