Chinese scientists are gaining momentum, and the global chip production capacity may be won by China!
According to statistics, between 2020 and 2023, more than 3,800 scientists have returned to China, which shows that many returning scientists see the potential of Chinese chips and have returned to China to join China's chip industry, rather than as in the past, many Chinese choose to stay in China for development.
The reason why so many Chinese scientists have returned to China is because China's chip industry has entered a new stage of development. By 2023, China's chip production capacity will reach about 30% of global production capacity, and with the commissioning of dozens of domestic chip factories, China's chip production capacity will reach 40% of global production capacity in the next three years.
In recent years, China has made great progress in chip design, memory chips, analog chips, GPU chips, etc. have been adopted by domestic enterprises, and there is even a domestic 5G mobile phone, 90% of which are already domestic chips.
In the first three quarters of 2012, the revenue of many chip equipment companies in China exceeded 50%, which indicates that the domestic chip industry is developing rapidly, which has brought huge benefits to domestic chip equipment.
Undoubtedly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for talents in the chip industry, which means that talents from all walks of life will be of great use after returning to China. After all, China's chip industry has just started, and if you want to go further, you must have enough talents.
For example, Yin Zhiyao of Shanghai Zhongwei, who returned to China to develop etching equipment, spent nearly 20 years to develop 5nm etching equipment from scratch, and now it has become the most advanced chip production equipment in China, which is due to China's high demand for chips, giving him opportunities and space for development.
In contrast, foreign chip technology has been very advanced, and many barriers have been formed in the industry. It is very difficult to create a company from scratch, and there is no room and time for development, which means that chip talents rarely have the opportunity to create their own companies. In addition, in recent years, Chinese scientists have received special treatment in the United States and other Western countries for various reasons, and the situation of Chinese scientists has become very difficult, and some scientists have even lost interest in returning to China for development.
Chinese are natural geniuses in chip development, and many industry leaders, such as AMD CEO Lisa Su and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang, are of Chinese descent.
In addition, Silicon Valley is home to tens of thousands of Chinese engineers, many of whom have chosen to return to China in the hope of gaining a foothold in China's chip industry.
Because of this, in recent years, there has been a wave of chip talents returning to China in China, and it has also promoted the speed of chip talents returning to China faster and faster, only three years, about 4,000 people have returned to China, and it is foreseeable that with the emergence of these talents, China's chip industry will usher in a wave of new vitality.
China's chip industry has shown a strong momentum of development. China's chip industry has laid a good foundation, providing unlimited opportunities for foreign talents, and attracting more and more Chinese to return to China for development.
