There is no doubt that the chip has become a small part that we can't do without in our daily lives, and although you can't see it, it is almost everywhere.
However, it is such a small chip, but it almost carries the highest scientific and technological strength of mankind, around the chip industry, it needs to involve a lot of high-tech achievements.
From the most source point of view, first of all, no matter which kind of chip, it needs to start from the design, and the chip design needs professional tools, that is, EDA software.
I believe some friends remember that just 5 days ago, the US Department of Commerce suddenly began to investigate Synopsys Technology.
Synopsys is the world's leading EDA software, is an American company, the reason why the U.S. Department of Commerce investigated Synopsys Technology is suspected that Synopsys technology sold related EDA technology to Huawei and SMIC.
We know that both Huawei and SMIC have been sanctioned by the United States, and so far Huawei has not been able to obtain TSMC's chip foundry services, and SMIC has not been able to purchase EUV lithography machines.
In addition, Huawei has also been sanctioned on EDA tools, so Yu Chengdong said that Huawei should start to deeply root technology, including EDA software.
Not only that, in the EDA software, Huawei has also invested in domestic related enterprises, which shows that Huawei does have a rigid demand for EDA software, but now we see new good news.
Good news from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently the Institute of Microelectronics, EDA Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences officially announced that the center led by researcher Chen Lan, undertaken by the national key research and development plan "high performance computing" key special project based on high-performance computing integrated circuit electronic design automation (EDA) platform "project, has successfully passed the project comprehensive performance evaluation in Beijing.
According to the reality of media reports, the project has been successfully researched, has served commercial users, and formed a sustainable operating mechanism.
I have to say that on the 5th day of the investigation of Synopsys Technology in the United States, the Chinese Academy of Sciences officially announced that all this was so fast.
This shows that in terms of EDA software, we are not without research and development strength, in fact, the EDA Center of the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been established as early as 2002, which shows that we are not without no foundation and preparation in EDA software, and now it is finally the harvest season.
The success of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in EDA software is undoubtedly good news for Huawei, you know, Huawei's chip design part, that is, HiSilicon Semiconductor, was once one of the world's top ten semiconductors and entered the top ten in the world, which shows that for HiSilicon, the chip design tool EDA software is extremely important.
The success of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has undoubtedly provided a strong boost for Huawei to break through the root technology, the key is that the EDA software is the first barrier for Huawei to break through the US blockade, if there is no efficient chip design tool, then there is no follow-up chip manufacturing.
Obviously, now that the first line of defense has begun to loosen, some netizens say that Huawei's sky is clearer.
The reason why it is more sunny is because Huawei has invested in four domestic EDA companies before, among which the EDA tool of Jiutongfang Microelectronics invested in has achieved 7nm design capabilities in some fields, so the success of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made Huawei happy.
There is no doubt that through Huawei's investment layout and the efforts of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huawei's barriers in EDA software will be quickly broken, and Huawei's problems on chips will be solved in the near future.
