Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced the successful development of 3nm photonic transistor chips, and the photonic chip production line in Beijing is about to be completed and ready to enter the production stage. Although there have been rumors of this before, this time it did achieve a breakthrough.
The technological innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to break through the 3nm photonic chip transistor is a major breakthrough for the entire technology industry. Under the current rapid development of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other fields, the performance and energy efficiency of chips have become an important bottleneck restricting industrial development. The breakthrough of 3nm photonic chip transistor technology will greatly improve the computing speed and energy efficiency of the chip, and provide more powerful support for future scientific and technological innovation.
In addition, with the continuous upgrading of chip manufacturing technology, the domestic chip industry has gradually risen. The commissioning of the photonic chip production line built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing will further promote the development of the domestic chip industry. This will not only benefit China's independent innovation and technological upgrading, but also help improve the country's voice and competitiveness in the global science and technology industry chain.
Photonic chips use light waves as carriers for information transmission and data computing, which has the advantage of fast operation speed and can reach 1000 times that of electronic chips. At the same time, China has established the world's first photonic chip production line, using the second generation of semiconductor materials, its performance is powerful, even if the use of more traditional processes, can far exceed the performance of current high-end electronic chips, and power consumption is very low. The Chinese Academy of Sciences expects to break through more advanced transistor technology soon. These technological breakthroughs will be of great revolutionary significance and can promote the further development of information technology and electronics industries.
The mainstream in the future will be photonic chips, eliminating the need for expensive EUV lithography machines, thereby greatly reducing the cost of chips. Perhaps soon, those companies that use EUV lithography machines will be forced to significantly reduce prices or even survive. The Chinese market will also be occupied by domestic chips, and photonic chips are bound to become the mainstream of future development.
The problem of the short board of high-end chips has been solved in China, which has gradually made the US suppression of China lose its meaning and confidence. They never imagined that China had solved the problem of chip shortcomings in a short period of time, making their conspiracy fail and lose their original face and advantages. At the same time, it has also enhanced China's credibility and political standing in the world.
By eliminating the need for expensive EUV lithography machines, the cost of photonic chips has dropped significantly, further promoting the future development and application of the technology. At the same time, China has also made breakthroughs in the research and development of high-end chips, which not only enhances China's global position, but also makes those countries that once suppressed China feel powerless and embarrassed. Therefore, photonic chip technology and China's chip research and development strength will become the main driving force for future industrial development.
Written at the end:
The importance of continuous attention and investment in technological development. The development of science and technology is inseparable from long-term investment and continuous innovation, and only by continuously promoting the progress of science and technology can we bring more welfare and development opportunities to the society. Compared to electrons, de Broglie wavelengths are smaller, and light wavelengths are larger, so photonic chips require a larger size to operate. However, because the computing speed of photonic chips is much higher than that of electronic chips, there is no need to use a small-size process to meet the requirements of high-speed computing. However, photonic technology has not yet achieved the flexibility and diversity of electronic technology, so different application scenarios need to be considered when making comparisons.
