The domestic semiconductor industry is divided into three steps, and the market opportunities are still very large.

"Semiconductor is a worldwide industry and needs more openness and cooperation." Zhou Zixue, vice chairman and non-executive director of SMIC, called for the semiconductor packaging and testing technology and market annual meeting held in Jiangyin.

In the past two years, from the establishment of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund to the encouragement and support of governments at all levels, China is actively developing the semiconductor industry, and IC design, manufacturing, packaging, materials and equipment have achieved good results.

However, Zhou Zixue believes that China still needs to actively cooperate with enterprises in developed countries in the field of semiconductors and learn more. We still have a long way to go, and we have encountered in the process of developing semiconductor industry in China. All kinds of "opaque" obstructions are difficult and helpless.

With the advent of the era of Internet of Everything and the explosion of mobile applications, information in today's era is highly inflated. Zhou Zixue said that there are three major trends in the semiconductor industry in the future: 5G, IC performance improvement and power consumption control.

In theory, the mobile transmission speed of 5G network can reach 1Tbps, which is 65000 times of the current 4G network transmission speed. Of course, it is difficult to achieve such speed in the actual environment, but it can be expected that 5G will be much faster than 4G.

In the era of the Internet of Everything, 5G will play an increasingly important role, and 5G will undoubtedly further promote the development of the semiconductor industry.

With the increasing number of devices connected to the Internet of Everything and the shrinking of smart devices, this requires the future performance of semiconductor products to be continuously improved and the power consumption to be lower and lower. These are the semiconductor industries that need to be gradually solved. The problem is also an opportunity.

Zhou Zixue further stated that as a latecomer to the semiconductor industry, mainland China has a huge market and needs to continue to increase its support for the semiconductor industry in the future.

First of all, government support should continue until 2020, allowing enterprises to survive the survival period and gradually find a competitive position in the market. Secondly, it will take 5-7 years to transfer from government capital support to market capital support, so that enterprises can adapt to the market. Rhythm; Finally, it takes 5-7 years for the company to achieve independent innovation, integrate into the market, and enter the fast lane of development.
