Silicon-based chips are becoming obsolete, and China's third-generation semiconductors are advancing hand in hand with the United States
With the rapid development of lithium-ion battery technology, the vigorous development of automotive electronics technology, with the continuous maturity of silicon materials, and with the continuous maturity of integrated circuit technology, people in the industry are becoming more and more aware of this.
TSMC recently announced the postponement of the 3 nm process again, due to the fact that the A16 processor no longer uses the 3 nm process, the memory chips below 10 nm are close to saturation, and the battery life will become a big problem with the memory chips below 10 nm. In addition, memory below 10 nm has also come to an end, otherwise the battery life will be affected.
In this context, new types of semiconductors, such as Gaas, INP, etc., are widely used in the world, known as "second generation" semiconductors, and they are widely used to make high-power millimeter-wave devices, such as LEDs, that is, typical LEDs. Third-generation semiconductors are semiconductor materials based on SiC, GaN, etc.
The third-generation semiconductor materials, as well as fast charging technology, as well as new energy vehicles, are all made by Xiaomi and BYD. Xiaomi's GaN (GaN) charger has become a good solution, BYD's battery and fast charging technology, are all using this technology, and BYD's new energy vehicles, the same.
Because in today's integrated circuit industry, the second and third generation semiconductor materials based on silicon are only auxiliary to the first generation, thus supporting the needs of energy conservation and emission reduction, industrial transformation and modernization in today's country.
Although China is in its infancy and has accelerated the development of technology, China's wafer industry is still far behind the rest of the world due to the constraints of the industrial chain defects, and China has also established its own industrial chain in this regard.
China already has its own third-generation chip manufacturing company, and has formed a complete industrial chain, and China has been at the forefront of the world in the use of third-generation chips. China's 3G industry has formed a complete industrial chain, and China Mobile ** company is at the forefront of charging technology, and China is also at the forefront of the world in the field of new energy vehicles.
In the next 5 years, the world SIC (SiC) market will triple and the GaN (GaN) market will increase more than 20 times.
Although it is the third generation of SiC and GaN, industry experts said that the development of carbon-based chips will completely replace the existing silicon chips, carbon-based chips have broken the technical limits of existing silicon chips, and its computing rate is 10 times that of silicon, and the energy consumption is only 1 10 of silicon, so Europe, America, China and other countries are vigorously promoting the research of carbon-based chips, but there is still a long way to go from the real technical bottleneck.
From the earliest generation of semiconductors to today's three generations, China is rapidly catching up with the United States and other countries, which not only reflects China's significant progress in the field of basic materials, but also reflects the increasing level of China's scientific and technological development.
