Research and development of technology is to a large extent an influence on the development of the country, because a stronger strength in this area can be resumed to continue development and bring more possibilities. It is for this reason that there are some obstacles, and for a long time in the development, each country has identified a fact, that is, only better research and development of their own strength can make more contributions. China has always been such a development model, but some aspects of the technology is not we want to be able to break through, among which the development of chip is very obvious.

As we all know, China's high-tech industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, and great breakthroughs have been made in many key fields such as 5G communications, aerospace and artificial intelligence. Especially in the 5G field, Huawei has seized the right to speak in the industry with its own strength. It not only owns the largest number of 5G patents in the world, but also has mature 5G end-to-end solutions. It is no exaggeration to say that Huawei is one to two years ahead of the world in 5G technology.

What is exciting is that since the Huawei incident, the domestic market has recognized the importance of mastering key core technologies, and domestic high-tech enterprises have joined the team of self-developed chips, such as Xiaomi, OV and other mobile phone manufacturers have launched self-developed chips, although not SOC chips, but at least let people see hope. Huawei, however, a strong rise in the field of 5 g also make some people feel "uneasy", in order to restrain the development of China, such as huawei old beauty began to move the "crooked brains", first spread around 5 g devices exist "security door" huawei rumor, then modified the chip against huawei rules, as a result, huawei mobile phone business fell off a cliff, The domestic chip industry chain has also been affected.

At the same time, the state has also set the goal of achieving a chip self-sufficiency rate of 70% by 2025. In order to achieve this goal, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other scientific research institutions actively develop lithography machines, and high-end universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University have successively established integrated circuit universities to provide talents for the domestic chip industry. The key is Shanghai "Dongfang core port" also springing up, vowed to create China's largest chip production base. In this context, domestic chip has made great progress. The number of imported chips dropped by 43 billion in the first seven months of this year, a drop of more than 10 percent, according to data. This data also means that the self-sufficiency rate of domestic chips has been significantly improved.

As the world's largest chip consumer, China imports more than one trillion chips from overseas every year, most of which are imported from Qualcomm, Intel and other Mochip companies. In other words, if China Chip achieves self-sufficiency, it will be the Chipmaker led by Qualcomm that will be most affected. Is the so-called "Kung Fu pays off", in recent days the Chinese core and passed the milestone of good news, the situation is like this. According to the fact, in addition to the smartphone industry has requirements for chip manufacturing process, such as Internet, new energy vehicles, communications and other areas of 14nm and above can meet the requirements. In the domestic chip market, more than 70% of the demand is for mid-to-low end chips, and the 14nm process is the dividing line between high - and mid-end semiconductors.

A source familiar with the matter said the 14nm process chip will be mass-produced in 2023. Wen Xiajun, director of the Institute of Electronic Information, said publicly that the domestic 14nm chip will be mass-produced at the end of next year. Although there is no official announcement, but as far as the situation is concerned, the credibility of this information is very high. In other words, although the U.S. restricts Huawei and other Chinese companies from using high-end chips, if we achieve mass production of chips with processes above 14nm, we can reduce our dependence on U.S. chips to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that the United States had just expanded the technical limit from 10nm and below to 14nm and below process, the domestic heard a milestone breakthrough. That's why foreign media say the chip ban has failed. In any case, mindless pessimism or praise is not in line with reality.

There is no shortcut to the rise of the domestic chip industry, and key core technologies cannot be bought, sought or traded. We should give up all illusions and try our best to achieve localization. Only in this way can we get rid of the situation of being subject to others.
