TSMC Zhang Zhongmou is disdainful of SMIC, and the market is concerned about the competition between the two sides
Since mankind entered the information age, semiconductor chips have become an important cornerstone of modern scientific and technological development. In this basic field, TSMC pioneered itself"Pure wafer foundry"Since then, it has been occupying a leading position in the world market. However, due to the intervention of the US technological hegemony, this technological war, which is supposed to be fair competition, is now full of complex political and geostrategic factors.
As the representative of China's semiconductor wafer manufacturing, SMIC has been committed to enhancing China's position in the global semiconductor industry since its establishment. However, due to technical bottlenecks and equipment limitations, SMIC is still far from introducing EUV lithography machine manufacturing equipment with advanced processes such as 7nm and 5nm. According to relevant information, EUV lithography machine has become the key to SMIC's technological progress.
However, the technological blockade imposed on China by the United States and its Western allies has prevented EUV lithography technology from entering Chinese companies. This measure seems to have dealt a blow to SMIC, but it is not. Many industry insiders believe that this has stimulated the fighting spirit of Chinese wafer companies such as SMIC.
Whether it's tools, materials, or otherwise, Chinese manufacturers are actively seeking independent innovation in an attempt to break through the U.S. technology blockade. According to the company's official announcement, the chip design tool will be localized at 14 nanometers this year, and the manufacturing technology has also reached 14 nanometers.
It is worth noting that although TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou verbally disdains SMIC, he is deeply afraid of SMIC's competitive pressure. SMIC is one of TSMC's main competitors in the world market, he said. This undoubtedly proves SMIC's influence in the semiconductor field.
In the face of encirclement and suppression by the United States and other Western countries, China's tablet industry did not choose to retreat, but chose to break through. First of all, Huawei, SMIC and other manufacturers have increased R&D investment and strive to break through technological bottlenecks through independent innovation. Second, Chinese companies are actively seeking domestic and foreign partners to jointly develop new technologies and create a new industrial ecosystem. In addition, Chinese enterprises also acquire foreign advanced semiconductor technology through capital operation to enhance their own technical strength.
In stark contrast to the tenacious vitality of Chinese tech companies, a technology blockade against Chinese companies is eliciting a global reaction from the United States and other Western countries. Many believe that this kind of behavior hinders the development of science and technology in the world and undermines the environment of fair play. Especially in the current context of globalization, the scientific and technological progress of any country is the well-being of all mankind, and the behavior of the United States has undoubtedly undermined the principle of common scientific and technological progress in the world.
The most interesting thing is that some Western companies have also begun to reflect on their own paths in the face of China's technological progress and independent development path in tablet computers. The reflection of these companies undoubtedly provides the possibility of breaking the technological blockade of China by the West.
In the future, Chinese technology companies will continue to adhere to independent innovation, build their own industrial chain, and meet the challenges of the external environment. At the same time, Chinese technology companies will continue to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation with the world and meet future scientific and technological challenges with an open and inclusive attitude.
In general, in the face of the encirclement of Western countries, China's integrated circuit enterprises have shown an indomitable spirit, and through independent innovation and global cooperation, they have gradually broken through the technological bottleneck, demonstrating China's influence and status in the world science and technology field.
In the future, we hope that Chinese wafer-related enterprises can play a more important role in the global semiconductor industry and make greater contributions to the world's scientific and technological progress and development. At the same time, we also hope that all countries in the world will abandon prejudices and stereotypes, face future scientific and technological challenges with an open and inclusive mind, and achieve scientific and technological progress for all mankind.
