In the past few decades, China's technology industry has been in a stage of "lagging behind-catching up". Due to the late start of science and technology, the gap between China and Western countries is quite large, and it is precisely because of backward technology that China's science and technology enterprises will be shrouded in the "shadow" for a long time, being bullied by foreign countries and enterprises, and unable to turn over! Especially in the field of chips, in recent years, Chinese science and technology enterprises have also suffered multiple rounds of sanctions and suppression.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of the "lack of cores", it can be said that the whole country will vigorously develop the semiconductor industry. National teams, scientific research institutions, universities and science and technology enterprises have made strong contributions and talents, striving to realize the self-production and self-development of chips as soon as possible and reduce their dependence on chip imports. And the official has also set a small goal of "increasing the chip self-sufficiency rate to 70% by 2025".
Recently, an international authoritative organization released an estimate that China's wafer production capacity has reached 8.6 million pieces per month, ranking first in the world! This has also led to a lot of exciting voices on the Internet, such as "clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky", what "the light boat has crossed the ten thousand mountains", and so on, but is this really the case? Has China Chip solved the "stuck neck" dilemma?
According to the report data released by SEMI, the total global semiconductor wafer production capacity in 2023 will be 29.6 million pieces/month, of which the wafer production capacity of Chinese manufacturers will reach 7.6 million pieces/month, a year-on-year increase of 12%, exceeding the industry's increase and seizing 25.68% of the market share.
On the basis of this data, SEMI has made a bold prediction that the global monthly production capacity of semiconductor wafers will continue to rise in 2024, while the monthly production capacity of Chinese wafers is expected to reach 8.6 million pieces/month, which will lead the industry and become the world's first. The basis of this data forecast is the accelerated expansion of domestic chips in the field of 28nm.
To be honest, foreign authoritative research institutions can be optimistic about the development of "China Chip", as Chinese, anyone who sees it will applaud. In order to prevent the development of China's science and technology enterprises, foreign enterprises have hyped up the concept that "it is better to buy than to build," and it is precisely because of this concept that many Chinese science and technology enterprises have given up their own research and chosen an easier path. But now, what we buy will be "stuck", obviously, this is the "pit" buried by the West for us, we can't believe it!
The People's Daily once said that core technologies cannot be bought! In addition to chips, research and development in other scientific and technological fields must abandon illusions, stop believing in what "it is better to buy than to build", stop believing in the "good intentions" and "praise" of foreign enterprises, and whether the technology is leading and whether the development is rapid, the market will have a final conclusion. The "optimism" of any country, any institution, and any enterprise is only a passing glance and is of no use! Once Chinese enterprises relax their vigilance, they will float up in these so-called "toutings." This is unacceptable!
Clear-eyed people know that chip research and development is very difficult, especially after Western countries have set up so many obstacles for us, whether it is chip manufacturing equipment, chip design software, chip architecture and chip technology, etc., every link will give China Chip's R&D and manufacturing a lot of trouble. Not to mention catching up and becoming the world's No. 1, it is difficult to even close the gap. There is no doubt that China's core is far from completely "clearing the clouds", there is still a long way to go from "seeing the blue sky", and we still need to continue to work hard! Some data, just look at it, some institutions' predictions, just laugh and laugh, we still have to bury our heads in our own work, down-to-earth, don't be affected by the outside world's remarks!
