Many people know that a chip is compared to a person's brain, a small chip contains a lot of functions, as well as its microstructure, even if the chip is only the size of a grain of rice, but its functionality is larger than the volume of several large steamed buns.
And in the future, it is getting smaller and smaller, and the functionality is getting stronger and stronger, and the development of nanotechnology is also making the volume of this chip smaller and smaller, but the function is getting stronger and stronger, and this colloidal quantum dot is also a new member of the field of semiconductor optoelectronics, although it is also an emerging industry, but it is an industry with a good prospect.
Semiconductor optoelectronics-related industries are of great value
According to statistics, the mainland's smart phones occupy most of the world's market, accounting for most of the share, but, relatively, in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics, there are few high-end products to develop and produce, which means that although we have a very complete rare earth metal industry chain, but even our own country's high-end electronic components can not be produced.
From ancient times to the present, semiconductor optoelectronic chips have developed to the development direction of the third generation of micro high-performance and low-cost, but because our scientific and technological development is lagging behind, it is impossible to cross the stage of the fourth generation.
It is understood that the latest industry in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics is the use of colloidal quantum dots, resulting in the production of imaging chips, its chips can map infrared objects, which means that even at night, he can still see people's images without turning on the light source, which still has a great advantage for public safety.
According to reports, on the market, most of the semiconductor optoelectronics fields we can see are glass substrate chips, and their prices have been high, but these imaging chips have been realizing the development direction from mass production to expensive, but really do it to the lowest cost, our country is still lagging behind.
According to the research institute, the cost of this colloidal quantum dot chip will be more than 90% lower than that of similar foreign products, and the performance of its products will not be lower than that of foreign countries.
Years of hard work behind R&D
This only soybean chip, on the surface looks very inconspicuous, but it has a market breakthrough effect, our country's scientists in the grinding of ten years, finally succeeded in making it into a prototype of mass production, and this also means that our country's new generation of semiconductor micro high-performance new products are also constantly moving forward.
As for why the cost of quantum dot chips in China can be 90% lower than that of foreign countries, it is because our country's scientists have conducted a lot of inconspicuous research in an inconspicuous field, because our country's research in this field started late compared with foreign countries, so it is difficult to compete with foreign industries in the industry, so our country has carried out technological innovation from some small details, so as to avoid too much competition with foreign countries.
According to the researcher of our country's new semiconductor optoelectronic chips, Professor Gao Liang, who is now one of the co-founders of the Optics Valley Laboratory, has been working the ground, so his technology has been gradually improving, and in 2023, he will also be awarded the title of Hubei Upward and Good Youth.
In the past ten years, he has been focusing on the research of the basic application of colloidal quantum dots, he has accumulated rich experience and knowledge in this field, and has also proposed and solved many problems in this field, and our country can also benefit from it, so that in 2016, he relied on the independent innovation ability of Sinoking, but also successfully developed a new colloidal quantum dot material, which has been greatly improved compared with all current materials, both in terms of price and performance.
The first prototype they developed can reach the international leading level in quantum efficiency, and he also went to the University of Toronto when he was a doctor, and he also saw a lot of information there, so he was able to choose a research direction in the state of foreign research, and finally successfully developed the first domestic colloidal quantum dot abroad.
With the continuous improvement of the level of scientific research, the industrial chain in the field of optoelectronics in mainland China is also improving step by step, and he returned to China in 2014 to develop the industrial chain, and the country has also developed some new semiconductor optoelectronic materials, and finally combined with scientific research in the industrial chain, in October 2016, they also successfully developed a first colloidal quantum dot infrared detection chip in the country.
Development and innovation, unlimited prospects
This soybean-sized chip, if it is really produced on a large scale on the market, I believe that the prospect must be unlimited, both in terms of cost and performance, it is also very attractive, and this colloidal quantum dot also encourages scientists that no industry can succeed in the same direction for a few years, as long as the direction is right, down-to-earth, there is no reason not to succeed.
