China's first quantum core production line was launched, and foreign media: Dutch ASML became "cannon fodder".
As we all know, in recent years, the United States has been suppressing and sanctioning the development camp of China's semiconductor chip companies, in order to comprehensively hinder the development of China's science and technology, Biden not only frequently revised the chip rules, but also joined Japan and the Netherlands to form a joint attack on China"Blockade**"Alliance, now Japan and the Netherlands have chosen to side with the United States, announcing that they will strictly control the export of equipment and materials such as lithography machines!Now, Japan and the Netherlands have chosen to side with the United States and announced that they will strictly control the export of equipment and materials such as lithography machines
You must know that Japan and the Netherlands are the world's famous lithography machine producersIn the world, there are not many manufacturers of advanced lithography machines, only Canon and Nikon from Japan and ASML from the NetherlandsASML is the only company in the Netherlands capable of producing EUV lithography machines;Now, the United States, Japan and the Netherlands have reached an agreement to strictly restrict the export of equipment such as lithography machines, which also means that we will no longer be able to buy advanced lithography machines directly from abroad!
A lithography machine is a piece of equipment required to produce semiconductor chips. For many years, national science and technology enterprises have been relying on the Netherlands and Japan lithography machines, ASML alone has provided us with more than 700 lithography machines, and now the United States, Japan and the Netherlands have embargoed joint lithography machines, does this mean that the development of the national semiconductor industry is becoming"Blocked"？
In fact, since our Huawei was severely suppressed and sanctioned by the United States, national technology companies have realized the importance of independent research and development and chip production, so we have also been using the power of the whole country to develop the national semiconductor industry chain and find ways to solve headaches such as lithography machines!
With the continuous efforts of national science and technology enterprises, China's first quantum chip production line has now been officially put into operation, the major American giants are panicking, and the Dutch ASML company has also become"Cannon fodder"！
In the traditional silicon-based wafer field, lithography is very important;European and American countries have developed in the field of silicon-based wafers for nearly half a century, and have also formed a monopoly;If China wants to catch up with and surpass European and American countries in the field of silicon-based wafers in a short period of time, it is undoubtedly difficult to keep up with the pace of development of Qingtian;But that doesn't mean we don't have opportunities to overtake in corners in the wafer curve space.
At present, silicon-based chips have been infinitely close to the limit of Moore's Law, and it will be difficult to surpass the limit after the development to 1 nanometer, so European and American countries have been looking for new materials to replace silicon-based chips for many years, and quantum chips have become one of the research and development directionsQuantum chips use qubits to represent and process information, and quantum chips not only have more computing power, but also consume less powerWhat's more, it doesn't rely on lithography;The most important thing is not to rely on lithography;Quantum chips are not a good option. Quantum chips are not only more powerful in computing power, but also consume less power, and most importantly, they don't need to rely on lithography
With the continuous efforts of domestic technology enterprises, the Chinese manufacturer Origin Quantum recently announced that it has built the first quantum wafer production line in China and put it into production, which also means that we have become the first person to eat crabs in the field of quantum wafers!
According to reports, quantum chips are also widely used in quantum computing, quantum communications, sensors and other fields, and quantum chips can also realize the secure transmission of information, prevent eavesdropping, etc. Looking at China's quantum chip field, it has achieved good results in corner overtaking, and American chip giants have also panicked;As long as quantum chips can be commercialized on a large scale, we can also get rid of our dependence on American chips as long as quantum chips can be commercialized on a large scale, which also means that American chips will be useless!
In addition, the Dutch ASML has also become"Cannon fodder"In recent years, the Dutch ASML has been shipping DUV and other equipment in the mainland market, and has made a lot of money in the mainland marketUnder pressure from the United States, the Netherlands has announced a ban on the export of lithography machines, which also means that ASML can no longer ship DUV equipment, resulting in heavy losses!Suffered a huge loss as a result!
As long as Chinese companies are willing to work hard in the field of quantum chips and continue to develop them, it is not impossible to overtake in corners!
