Academician He Jao is not willing to be lonely in his old age, anti-Chinese medicine no one to control, naming and criticizing Ni Guangnan to break the taboo.
96-year-old academician He Joao is not willing to be lonely in his old age, not only set off a big discussion against Ni Guangnan, but also insisted on opening a certain tone and a certain article.
The biggest difference is in the end is "trade, industry and technology" or "technology, industry and trade", in fact, until now there is still endless debate, and to be honest, the same volume of sand, used to engage in the chip and engage in real estate, obviously engage in real estate is more cost-effective, in fact, we are also so engaged. We are also so engaged.
With sand (silicon dioxide) to get the chip is very troublesome, sand to heat, separated from carbon monoxide and silicon, and constantly repeat the process, from industrial smelting grade ingots to polysilicon rods until the monocrystalline silicon ingots, and finally is purified to 99.9999999999999% purity of monocrystalline silicon.
High purity monocrystalline silicon is cut into wafers and then ground into wafers before the real production of chips begins, wafer processing, oxidation, photolithography, etching, thin film deposition, interconnections, testing, packaging and so on, before finally becoming a chip.
This process is the most complex lithography process is also the highest cost, the need for a very large number of technical reserves, master photolithography technology manufacturers only a few, such as the Netherlands Asmax (ASML), and behind hundreds of suppliers, only a few units a year, a price of a few hundred million U.S. dollars.
And such a chip, the price is not expensive, in 2022 we imported 538.4 billion chips, the amount of up to 415.6 billion U.S. dollars, but calculated less than 1 U.S. dollar per chip.
Seeing here is not you also feel "make better than buy, buy better than rent"?
Many people think that the third industrial revolution is the information technology revolution, the popularity of the Internet as a symbol, in fact, not, the real third industrial revolution from the birth of the computer to the development of semiconductors,
Moore's Law was proposed, and the CPU is really the crown jewels of the industry.
The end result of building rather than buying, and buying rather than renting, is that we almost perfectly missed the third industrial revolution.
Many people thought we could not do photolithography, in 1977, China's earliest photolithography - GK-3 semi-automatic photolithography was born; in 1982, the KHA-75-1 photolithography was born; in 1985, China's first distributed projection photolithography was born.
Initially, the gap between lithography and the world's conservative estimate is 4-7 years, the result is caught in the "make better than buy" situation, until now, the gap is estimated to be more than 20 years.
Looking at the same period of lithography, Canon launched Japan's first semiconductor lithography in 1970; Nikon launched its first semiconductor lithography in 1980; and Asmax (ASML) was not established until 1984.
Looking at another timeline, Ni Guangnan gave up a well-paid job in Canada in 1983 to return to China, and paid $80,000 out of his own pocket to buy a container of key equipment and devices to bring back with him.
Huawei was founded on Sept. 15, 1987, the same year TSMC was established in the Hsinchu Science Park.
Ni Guangnan was relieved of his duties as chief engineer in 1995, and in 1999, at the age of 60, he was dismissed.
Ren Zhengfei visited Zhongguancun in 1999 and said: Lenovo has management but no technology, Founder has technology but no management, and Huawei has neither management nor technology.
But Huawei has no management and no technology, but in October 2004, the establishment of Haisi Semiconductor, the predecessor of the Huawei Integrated Circuit Design Center was created in 1991, the company said.
Of course, we have no way to use the current perspective to simply judge the rights and wrongs of the year, just science and technology research and development has its own laws, the death of China's chip in the decades before the cause was buried, and now the harvest is the fruit.
Looking back, I can only say that Ni Guangnan's thinking at the time was really very forward thinking, and actively engaged in the 90's chip, but also foresaw the popularity of the liunx kernel system (Android), he has long seen out of the wintel alliance is unstoppable, but there is a slight chance that still have to go to the fight.
By now, domestic replacements are still replacing linux, and there is no other way, and the chip, not to mention, now even the chip manufacturing equipment are restricted, to catch up, I'm afraid it's not an overnight success.
