New news came out of the United States
On April 14, a different news came from the foreign media, and this new news came from the US market, and it is also related to Huawei, the specific expression of this news is, "According to informed sources, the EDA software giant Synopsys Technology in the U.S. market is under investigation, and the reason for the investigation is that Synopsys Technology may transfer key technologies to mainland enterprises."
Behind this is directly related to the production and manufacture of Huawei chips, it is reported that the US market suspects that Synopsys Technology will transfer its relevant EDA software to mainland enterprises, and then help HiSilicon complete the relevant design.
For this wave of unwarranted slander, in fact, it seems that it has rarely appeared after 2019 to 2020, of course, this is not to say that they are kind, but because Huawei has embarked on the road of independent research and development in various fields and markets, so that they can not find more fresh words.
And now there is a new saying, the probability is that the mainland has a new development in the field of EDA software, and the US market believes that this development will likely help Huawei's semiconductor business take off, so it can't help it.
Everyone knows that EDA software is an indispensable tool in the design of semiconductor chips, before 2019, there are three of the world's top EDA software suppliers, namely Synopsys (Synopsys), Cadence (Kaiden Electronics) and Siemens (Siemens), but it is very unfortunate that two of these three giants are US companies, so in EDA technology, almost formed a monopoly.
However, since 2019, the mainland EDA vendors have also begun to catch up, and strive to supply more mature EDA software in a short period of time, and have also achieved initial results.
Huawei is breaking through the first line of defense for chips
Perhaps seeing the mainland's technological growth in the field of EDA software, so the US market will repeat the same trick, but there seems to be a different view and cognition of the media, and the foreign media commented on this matter.
Indeed, from this point of view, it seems that this is indeed the case, which is like when the Hongmeng system came out, the US market required relevant software suppliers not to list Huawei's HMS, with the intention of hindering the construction of Huawei's software ecosystem.
Nowadays, it seems that in terms of EDA software, Huawei has achieved new breakthroughs with domestic manufacturers, which also means that Huawei is not too far from the return of the chip market, after all, in terms of chip instruction set architecture, whether it is ARM or RISC-V can be used by Huawei.
In addition, chip manufacturing above, Huawei has announced on March 28 that it will use chip stacking to solve some problems, while SMIC's 28nm foundry production line can also be provided for Huawei, as for the higher precision of 14nm, it is reported that it is also being solved, this series marks that the recovery of HiSilicon chips is rapidly progressing, especially the return of Kirin chips applied to mobile terminals, it is estimated that it will not be too far away.
summary
From the current situation, in the past three years, the mainland market has invested manpower, material resources and financial resources into the semiconductor chip market, and now it has achieved very good results, meeting the conventional needs of domestic enterprises has been realized, as for the higher precision chip foundry demand, you need to wait for the breakthrough of the relevant EUV lithography machine, or other lithography machines that can achieve curve overtaking technology.
At that time, the mainland will come out of a new system standard independent of the European and American systems in the field of semiconductor chips, which means that the mainland has truly embarked on a completely autonomous road in the field of chips.
