The Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly announced a new route for chip design, and American technology suffered a heavy blow
The United States thinks that it has mastered the means of chip research and development, and can control the world's chip technology, but China has repeatedly had accidents in research and development, and recently, the good news from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came that Taiwan's independent research and development of new methods has equaled the leading position of the United States in the field of semiconductors.
i.The Chinese Academy of Sciences has launched a new technology.
In order to curb the development of China's high-end integrated circuit industry, the United States used EDA as a "sharp weapon" to restrain American EDA companies from implementing EDA tools with 14nm and above processes, trying to curb China's development in the field of high-end integrated circuits, however, this idea failed.
According to relevant news reports, the Chinese Academy of Sciences of China has used artificial intelligence to develop the world's first chip independently designed by artificial intelligence without human intervention, avoiding the US-led EDA tool and getting rid of the constraints of the United States in chip design.
In order to ensure the independence of the chip, the chip is based on the RISC-V architecture, based on the domestic 65nm process, and its performance has reached the level of Intel 486 processor, although there is still a certain distance in performance, but its success will make the chip from architecture to design to chip production have reached the real sense of domestic chips.
It is reported that after the launch of the AIAI chip by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the development speed of the chip will be greatly improved, and the time required for chip development is only 1000 times that required for the current EDA software development, which greatly improves the development efficiency of domestic chips. The Chinese Academy of Sciences will combine chip design with artificial intelligence, which can be said to be an innovation in the development of chip technology, and it will be promoted to 14nm, 7nm, and 5nm chips in the future, completely abandoning the EDA tools of the United States.
Second, the introduction of AI technology into the integrated circuit industry is the general trend.
In fact, the application of artificial intelligence to the field of semiconductors has long become a trend in the industry, TSMC is the first company to introduce AI technology into the semiconductor field, TSMC and Nvidia have joined forces, and NVIDIA has developed CulithoAI for TSMC, which can greatly improve the speed of lithography, reduce errors in lithography, and save a huge amount of manpower and material resources for TSMC!
The reason why artificial intelligence is applied to the field of semiconductors is because the current semiconductors are very complex, it is very difficult to design or make them by hand, a chip is often hundreds of billions, if artificial intelligence technology is used, not only can the internal structure of the chip be quickly analyzed, but also the computer can be used for real-time **, so as to quickly find the problem, which is time-consuming and costly. This is both a waste and a cost.
At present, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has introduced AI technology into the field of chip design, while TSMC has introduced artificial intelligence into the field of chip production, and a complete artificial intelligence system can be established in the entire chip design and production process, accelerating the production of chips, which is a huge benefit for the entire semiconductor industry.
iii.Fear is yet to come.
AI applications in China's chip field, now chip companies all over the world have recognized the huge benefits brought by AI, and even the American chip giant AMD (AMD) has also claimed that in the process of chip design, testing, verification and other processes, AI will be applied to chip design, testing, verification and other aspects, especially AMD's chips, which are also manufactured by TSMC, while the United States has introduced AI into the AI field, resulting in a monopoly in the United States. EDA software is bound to become obsolete.
People in the industry know that technology is constantly changing, especially the semiconductor industry, the United States has occupied the EDA, which has brought huge benefits to the EDA companies in the United States, but due to the poor supervision of the United States, the entire world's semiconductor industry has set its sights on the field controlled by the United States, and China has broken through the monopoly of the United States in the field of EDA, which has undoubtedly accelerated the decline of the American electronic design field.
Over the years, the United States has been suppressing China's semiconductor industry, not only EDA technology, but also in the field of semiconductors, China has been promoting RISC-V architecture, as well as LoongArch architecture and other technologies, occupying an absolute advantage in the world, and the United States ARM is relying on this, occupying the dominant position in the entire PC field. x86 is controlled by Intel Corporation, a move by the United States that is gradually weakening its position in the entire chip industry, ultimately leading to its own failure.
