Looking at the world, the most advanced communication technology at present is undoubtedly 5G, and what occupies the forefront of technology in the field of 5G is no longer the United States, a scientific and technological power, but Huawei, the light of domestic goods. However, in the past two or three years, Huawei's 5G mobile phone business has had to be temporarily shelved due to changes in the international situation, and at present, Huawei wants to achieve the return of the king, which can be described as far away.
Huawei will not lie flat on this, it is still constantly impacting and making progress. Today, only a small RF chip remains. But Oh, just such a small RF chip, the realization of localization has also plagued domestic enterprises for a long time, and now, finally, there is some dawn of slight victory, that is, a company in the mainland announced that it has achieved 100% self-research in RF chips.
This is undoubtedly a good news for the mainland, so can Huawei, which has always lacked RF chips, use this domestic RF chip as desired? At present, Fumanwei has only achieved 100% domestic self-research, so in the future days, does Fumanwei hope to achieve the whole process of domestic production?
Domestic RF is expected to be delivered in mass production
On March 3, Fumanwei, a well-known semiconductor company in the mainland, publicly announced on the relevant interactive platform on the same day that the 5G RF chips that have previously achieved mass production have begun to be supplied in batches, that is to say, Fumanwei's 5G RF chips have successfully entered the consumer market.
According to Fumanwei's disclosure on the same day, the main customers of Fumanwei's 5G RF chips are mainly domestic manufacturers. This is definitely good news for domestic manufacturers in the mainland. As we all know, before that, many enterprises in the mainland in the field of RF chips, for the outside, especially for the United States manufacturers' dependence, it is very serious.
Nowadays, the mainland Fuman micro has successfully broken this situation, so that relevant domestic manufacturers can get rid of external dependence. Speaking of RF chips, many people may think of Huawei, think of Huawei's 5G mobile phone business because of this RF chip has to be temporarily put down, thinking that the reason why Huawei can not achieve the return of the king, is because of this RF chip.
So, with Fuman Micro's 100% self-developed 5G RF chip going to the market step by step and towards shipment, can Huawei use it?
Can Huawei use it?
In fact, no one can say whether Huawei can use Fumanwei's 5G RF chip, after all, Fumanwei has not revealed more critical information. That is to say, whether the 5G RF chip of Fumanwei has completely independent technical intellectual property rights.
Like Asmal's lithography machine, like TSMC's high-end chips, the products of these companies are produced by themselves, why can't they achieve free shipment?
It's not because U.S. technology is used, U.S. licensing is required. Therefore, whether this 5G RF chip of Fumanwei can be used by Huawei, in addition to domestic self-research, it is also necessary to know whether There is american technology in the process of self-research or production of Fumanwei.
In addition, although the 5G RF chip of Fumanwei has been successfully supplied, the current Fumanwei is only said to be 100% self-developed, so who is the OEM has not been explained. Therefore, fuwei's 5G RF chip may also be OEM by Samsung, Intel and other enterprises.
If it is really these enterprises OEM, then, in the United States to revise the rules today, these products that use a lot of American technology are naturally unusable by Huawei.
At present, this 5G RF chip, Huawei is likely to be unable to use. The root cause is that most of the 5G RF chips that are full of micro may not be fully domesticated, then, in the future days. Is there any hope for Fu man micro to achieve?
Is Fuman micro expected to achieve 100% localization?
In fact, in the coming days, Fumanwei is still very hopeful to achieve 100% localization in 5G RF chips, as we all know, the current Fumanwei has realized domestic self-research, it is still close to the localization of production, and in the current environment in the mainland, Fumanwei has the hope to achieve the localization of the production of RF chips?
In the past one or two years, Shanghai Microelectronics has repeatedly achieved great breakthroughs in the localization of lithography machines, not only successfully realizing domestic DUV lithography machines, but also successfully landing and delivering advanced encapsulated lithography machines. In today's rapid development of domestic lithography machines, it is not impossible for Fumanwei to fully realize localization in 5G RF chips in the future.
In short, it is not impossible for Fumanwei to achieve 100% localization of production and research and development in the field of 5G RF chips. So, but for now, there are still many variables, in today's rapid development of science and technology, Huawei can not wait for Fumanwei to achieve 100% domestic production, so wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue?
So, if the current Huawei does it, in order to make its 5G mobile phone business realize the return of the king as soon as possible?
How does Huawei achieve the return of the king in the 5G mobile phone business?
Just waiting for Fuman micro to realize the national production of 5G RF chips, which should be far from water and difficult to quench the thirst, And Fuman micro has achieved such results, which does not mean that Huawei can hang high. In terms of 5G mobile phone business, Huawei wants to achieve the return of the king and wants to return to the first place in the country.
In the days to come, Huawei will still insist on investing more than 10% of HiSilicon's total annual revenue, so that the development and operation of Huawei HiSilicon will not stop, strive to continue to make the research and development of 5G chips bigger and stronger, and shape the research and development of 5G chips into its own competitive advantage.
Of course, in addition, Huawei may only be able to wait, and other domestic manufacturers can one day achieve 5G RF chips 100% localization, but I believe that Huawei should not wait too long, China Core will definitely usher in such a breakthrough in the future!
summary
Fumanwei, a well-known semiconductor company in the mainland, has successfully developed domestic self-developed 5G RF chips, which is indeed good news for the mainland. However, whether Huawei can be used or not, and whether it can achieve the return of the king through the 5G radio frequency chip of Fuman Microelectronics, this is not necessarily true.
I hope that in the future, Fuman Micro can achieve 100% self-research in the field of 5G RF chips as soon as possible, and hope that Chinese manufacturing can also leave a chapter in the field of RF chips!
