On April 25, CCTV announced that the mainland scientific research team has made remarkable progress in chip technology and successfully developed the "third-generation glass perforation technology". This technology is expected to enable us to create a globally unique "glass chip".
However, after the announcement of this achievement, the United States and its allies, such as Japan and South Korea, began to take action, clearly not wanting to see a breakthrough in this area.
So, what exactly is a "glass chip"?
In short, it is a chip made of glass material, which is different from the silicon chips we are used to. The "third-generation glass perforation technology" developed this time is one of the core technologies for manufacturing this chip
In other words, this new technology has upended our preconceived notions of chips
It not only breaks through the limitations of traditional silicon materials, but also tries to make chips on unprecedented materials such as glass
This innovation frees itself from the constraints of silicon wafers and significantly reduces production costs, thereby improving overall efficiency.
Glass wafers, in particular, are of great significance to the mainland
In the past, our chip manufacturing was highly dependent on silicon wafers, but this material could not be produced in large quantities in China
As a result, the United States and other Western countries often use their hegemonic status as a bargaining chip to restrain us, making it difficult for us to make purchases
What they didn't expect, however, was that we had successfully developed a glass chip made from glass wafers
With this innovation, production costs can be reduced by about 50%. R&D members said that this new way has promoted the leapfrog development of chip technology in the mainland
The mainland is the world's largest consumer of chips, and many chip manufacturing companies rely on the mainland market
Now, the ban in the United States will undoubtedly have an impact on the chip giants
As a result, they have lost such a large market as the mainland, leaving some of the former industry leaders in trouble.
According to foreign media reports, the mainland began to boycott the products of Intel and Microsoft in the United States, believing that the mainland is carrying out counter-sanctions
In fact, the mainland only requires that the CPU, operating system, etc. entering the mainland market must meet the safety and reliability evaluation standards, as long as it can meet my standards, I will still consider buying
According to relevant reports, Intel and other companies did not make the cut in this selection
The United States has enlisted other countries to suppress us, but other countries will not necessarily follow suit
On March 26, for example, the Dutch Prime Minister talked about the chip issue during his visit to China, and he made it clear that the Netherlands would not take sanctions specifically against our country
Truth be told, if the Netherlands continue to implement their repressive policies, I am afraid that even their own ASML company will consider leaving
At present, the Dutch government is busy improving the infrastructure around ASML, making every effort to keep the large company and prevent it from moving abroad
Therefore, it is imperative for China to make a breakthrough in chip technology, and we will never stagnate because of the suppression
On the contrary, the United States is trying to blockade us, only to gradually find itself increasingly inadequate
