China entered the semiconductor industry late, and its technology accumulation lags behind that of western developed countries. This is a problem that we must face squarely. However, in order to limit the development of China's science and technology, the western countries that mastered the core technology of semiconductors signed the Wassenberg Agreement several decades ago, prohibiting the export of all core technologies to China, which forced China's science and technology enterprises to rely on imported chips.
After the United States cut off the source of Huawei chips, Ren said in an interview with the media that the main reason why China enterprises can't independently manufacture high-end chips is that the equipment for manufacturing high-end chips is stuck around their necks. Therefore, in order to realize the localization of high-end chips, mask aligner, etching machine and other equipment must be developed.
In order to promote the development of domestic semiconductor industry, the state has issued a large number of preferential policies for semiconductor industry, established the first "chip university" in China, created the "Oriental core port" and put forward the slogan of "piercing the sky upwards and taking root downwards".
Under the call of the country, China enterprises, scientific research institutions and scientists were moved by this news, and set off a wave of "core-building" and made a major breakthrough, such as Mei Sheng Semiconductor, a domestic "hard-working" enterprise, conquering high-end chip equipment.
According to media reports, Mei Sheng Semiconductor, a domestic semiconductor giant, officially announced the successful development of edge wet etching equipment. The core technology has been independently controlled and verified by domestic manufacturers, and will be delivered to downstream enterprises in the third quarter of this year.
It is understood that this edge wet etching equipment developed by Mei Sheng can remove all kinds of electrolyte, metal and particle pollutants at the edge of the wafer, reduce the influence of edge pollution on the subsequent process, and improve the yield, and the effect is much higher than that of the edge dry etching machine.
It is worth mentioning that the equipment market in etching machine with edge wet process has been monopolized by American and Japanese enterprises, accounting for 95% of the market. Now, Mei Sheng has successfully developed the edge wet etching machine and equipment, which fills the gap in this field in China and further tears open the technical wall in the West.
For China's continuous breakthrough in semiconductor equipment, American scholars feel that it is a very foolish decision for the United States to suppress China enterprises such as Huawei. This move not only failed to curb the rise of science and technology in China, but also stimulated the blood and fighting spirit of China people and made them stronger!
As American scholars say, China people are the smartest people in the world, but we are easy to be satisfied and slack off. Especially when we have money, it is easy to tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Otherwise, we won't say anything like "technology has no borders" and "it's better to buy if you build it, and it's better to rent if you buy it".
America often finds fault with us, which is good for us. It can keep us awake at all times, make us stronger and lead the progress of human civilization!
I believe that as China scientists constantly break through the bottleneck technology and manufacture independently controllable semiconductor devices, "China Core" will surely rise strongly, break the chip blockade in the United States and help domestic enterprises to pick up the dignity that others have rubbed!
