(Summary description)
Recently, how to achieve a breakthrough in core technology and solve the "stuck neck" problem of my country's integrated circuit industry has aroused heated discussions among all parties. While the relevant departments have made it clear that they will accelerate the development of my country's integrated circuit industry, Alibaba, Gree Electric and other companies have recently announced to enter or increase their layout in the integrated circuit industry.

To achieve a breakthrough in my country's integrated circuit industry, we must take a long-term view. The integrated circuit industry is a capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and talent-intensive industry. Therefore, if the domestic integrated circuit industry is to truly achieve a breakthrough, it must closely integrate the above three characteristics to find the correct development path, and at the same time do a good job of "fighting a protracted war." Preparation.

The first is capital investment. Past practice has proved that due to the long R&D cycle and short product life cycle of the integrated circuit industry, financial returns are not satisfactory, and it is difficult to attract large-scale investment of market capital such as industrial capital and venture capital. Therefore, it is necessary to give full play to the guiding role of the integrated circuit development fund. At the same time, in the use of funds, we must adhere to the principle of concentrating our efforts to do major tasks, and avoid "sprinkling" low-level repetitive construction and the situation of rushing to the top.

The second is technology research and development. Judging from the current situation, the technical shortcomings of domestic integrated circuits are mainly reflected in high-end chips, especially in terms of central processing units, memories, field programmable gate arrays, high-speed digital-to-analog converters, etc., which are highly dependent on imports. At the same time, there is a significant gap between my country's integrated circuit industry and the international advanced level in terms of manufacturing capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the technical shortcomings and accelerate the promotion of core technology breakthroughs.

The last is personnel training. Data show that my country's current IC talent gap is as high as 400,000, which has seriously hindered the development of the IC industry. The root cause of this problem is that, affected by factors such as employment and salary, the cultivation of computer talents in colleges and universities generally emphasizes application rather than foundation, which has caused the "top-heavy" structure of computer talents in our country. To change this situation, it is fundamentally necessary to straighten out the training mechanism and evaluation system for computer talents.

In fact, it is not difficult to find the right path. The difficult thing is whether you can always follow the correct path and be prepared for a "protracted war."

There is a popular saying in China that it is “better to buy a ship than to build a ship, and to rent a ship than to buy a ship”. When a technology independent research and development takes a long time, the fastest way is to spend money to buy ready-made. But facts have proved that the real core technology cannot be bought, which has a typical performance in the integrated circuit industry. In the past, the domestic integrated circuit industry was not determined to make independent research and development, but in the end it often deviated from the correct path.

At the same time, we must be prepared to "fight a protracted war." Regardless of the R&D cycle of integrated circuits or the gap between my country's integrated circuit industry and the international level, such a catch-up may take more than 10 years or even longer. Therefore, it is necessary to make a long-term plan in light of the current situation, and make a long-term plan in terms of capital investment, technology research and development, and personnel training. We must not rush for quick success.
