As we all knowSemiconductorsEquipment plays a vital role in the chip manufacturing process. However, for a long time,SemiconductorsThe equipment market is divided into Japan, the United States, and Europe, among othersState monopoly, which has brought great risks to China's chip industry. Especially recently, the United States, together with Japan and the Netherlands, has blocked the chip industry in Chinese mainland, and the import of advanced equipment has also been restricted. Therefore, China has been committed to improvingSemiconductorsThe self-sufficiency rate of equipment, only by achieving domestic substitution, can the ban be invalidated.
According to data from 2020, domesticFabsPurchasedSemiconductorsAmong the equipment, the United States accounts for 53%, Japan accounts for 17%, the Netherlands accounts for 16%, and China's domestic equipment accounts for only 7%, that is, 93% of the equipment depends on imports, and the self-sufficiency rate is only 7%. And in 2022, things have changed. According to data compiled by an institution, in 2022, the countryFabsAmong the core equipment purchased, the domestic production rate of many equipment exceeds 30%, especially the etching equipment and cleaning equipment, the domestic production rate has reached 54% and 68% respectively. According to **, throughout 2022, new ones were added in the countrySemiconductorsThe self-sufficiency rate of equipment is about 35%, an increase of 400% compared to 7% in 2020.
Although the self-sufficiency rate has improved, we should also realize that the current domestic equipment is mainly focused on mature processes, most of which are only in the 28nm stage, a few have reached 14nm, and the etching equipment and cleaning equipment have reached the verification stage of 3nm. This means that although the domestic production rate has increased, we still rely on imports in terms of advanced process equipment. In fact, we need to increase the domestic production rate of mature equipment, but more importantly, we must achieve domestic substitution of advanced equipment, because the United States mainly restricts advanced equipment, and there is no such strict control over mature equipment. Therefore, domesticSemiconductorsEquipment manufacturers need to refuel, there is still a long way to go, and continuous efforts are needed. Only when we can independently ** advanced equipment, the ban will really become waste paper, otherwise we will always be subject to others.
In understanding domestic productionSemiconductorsAfter the data on the increase in equipment self-sufficiency, we have to think about its significance and the challenges it faces. First of all, an increase in self-sufficiency means domesticSemiconductorsThe development strength of the equipment industry has been strengthened, which can reduce the dependence on imported equipment and reduce external risks. Secondly, the increase in self-sufficiency helps to establish a completeSemiconductorsindustrial chain, improve the country inSemiconductorscompetitiveness in the field to further promote the development of the industry. However, there are also huge challenges to achieving self-sufficiency. First of all, domesticSemiconductorsEquipment manufacturers need to faceTechnical barriersand the huge investment cost of advanced equipment to be able to remain competitive in an ever-changing market. Second, achieving a significant increase in self-sufficiency in a short period of time is not an easy task and requires all partiesHeliPromotion, including the support of the first class, the cooperation of industry, university and research and the investment of capital. Therefore, domesticSemiconductorsAlthough the self-sufficiency rate of equipment has achieved certain results, it still needs to continue to work hard and cooperate in order to truly achieve independent innovation and development.
DomesticSemiconductorsThe improvement of equipment self-sufficiency is both a great opportunity and a challenge. For China,SemiconductorsThe industry is a strategic industry with important economic and important significance. ImproveSemiconductorsThe domestic production rate of equipment can reduce dependence on foreign countries and reduce economic risks. At the same time, independent research and development and productionSemiconductorsequipment that can be pushedSemiconductorsThe development of the industry will improve the core technology and market competitiveness. However, achieving an increase in self-sufficiency is not easy and faces many challenges. First of all, it is necessary to increase R&D investment and improve the technical level to meet market demand. Secondly, it is necessary to establish a sound industrial chain and strengthen collaborative innovation in order to improve the overall self-sufficiency. In addition, it is necessary to face abroadTechnical barriers, market competition and other challenges. Therefore, to achieveSemiconductorsThe localization of equipment requires the joint efforts of enterprises, enterprises and research institutionsHeliin order to achieve greater breakthroughs and progress.
In order to promote domestic productionSemiconductorsTo improve the self-sufficiency rate of equipment, we need to develop appropriate strategies and find appropriate ways. First of all, it is necessary to increase investment in research and development and improve the technical level. By strengthening the cooperation between scientific research institutions and enterprises, attracting talents, providing financial and technical support, making the countrySemiconductorsThe R&D capability of the equipment is constantly improving. Secondly, it is necessary to establish a sound industrial chain and strengthenIndustry-university-research cooperation。Through the guidance and support, promote equipment manufacturers, chip manufacturers andFabsto form a good environment for collaborative innovation in the industrial chain. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, attract foreign advanced equipment suppliers and technical experts, introduce advanced equipment and technology, and promote the upgrading and innovation of domestic equipment. At the same time, it needs to be strengthenedIntellectual Property ProtectionwithLawsThe construction of regulations provides a good environment and protection for the independent innovation of domestic equipment. Through the comprehensive application of these strategies and approaches, domestic production can be realizedSemiconductorsA real increase in the self-sufficiency of the equipment.
With domesticSemiconductorsImprovement of equipment self-sufficiency rate, ChinaSemiconductorsThe industry will usher in new opportunities and challenges. At the same time as the technological level is gradually improving, China'sSemiconductorsThe equipment manufacturing industry will also face more fierce market competition. In the future, we need to promote the transformation and upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry on the basis of continuous innovation and improve product quality and performance. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the training of personnel and improve the professional quality and innovation ability of technical personnel. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation, conduct in-depth exchanges and cooperation with enterprises and research institutions in other countries, and jointly face global competition and challenges. It is believed that in the near future, China'sSemiconductorsThe equipment manufacturing industry will make greater breakthroughs and development in technology and market.
By domesticSemiconductorsIn the description of the improvement of equipment self-sufficiency, we learned the significance and challenges of self-sufficiency rate improvement, and some solutions and approaches. ImproveSemiconductorsThe rate of domestic production of equipment is ChinaSemiconductorsThe inevitable trend of industrial development is an important measure to ensure national information security and economic independence. However, to achieve an increase in self-sufficiency, it will require the support of the people, the efforts of enterprises, and the cooperation of research institutions and educational institutions. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation, attract foreign advanced equipment manufacturers and technical experts, and accelerate the introduction and transformation of technology. It is only through the joint efforts of many parties that it is formedHeliin order to be able to achieve domestic productionSemiconductorsThe increase in the self-sufficiency rate of equipment is driving ChinaSemiconductorsThe development and innovation of the industry.
