IT Home, May 17 - In last night's CCTV program "Dialogue," Zhang Rujing, founder of SMIC and known as the "Father of China's Semiconductor Industry," discussed the development path of domestic equipment.
He said, "Trying new equipment always involves risks, but we don't rush into testing a lot at once; we do it in small batches—first 5 or 25 units, then 50 or 100 units, and it takes quite a long time. Both sides share the responsibility. For example, when we used equipment from AMEC, the equipment was given to us without payment—it came from AMEC's investors. But during subsequent testing, the chips were our responsibility, and the time cost was ours. Once both sides cooperated well and succeeded, the investment was definitely worthwhile."
Zhang Rujing believes, "If no one uses domestic products, how can progress be made?"If you don't use it, you won't know where the problem is, and if you don't know the problem, you can't fix it. Don't feel that it's no good just because you tried it once and then stop using it.
According to previous reports from IT Home, earlier this month, Richard Chang gave an exclusive interview to the STAR Market Daily. Regarding the current development path of the domestic semiconductor industry, Richard Chang pointed out, "Many people think that competition in the semiconductor industry is simply a contest of advanced processes,Thinking that only achieving 3nm or 2nm counts as success is actually a cognitive misconception..
In fact, in the global semiconductor industry market structure, in terms of product volume, advanced process nodes account for less than 20% of the market share, while over 80% of market demand actually comes from mature process nodes and specialty process tracks. Many niche segments monopolized by overseas players are precisely the entry points where domestic companies can easily achieve breakthroughs.
