Zhao Weiguo accepted the latest issue of Genius Magazine revealed that Purple Group will follow the "Samsung model" to reshape the global memory chip industry pattern, the first memory chips from the United States IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments R & D and production, Micron came from behind. Brilliant, but already bankrupted in 2012, Toshiba chips are also sold to the consortium headed by Bain Capital.
Today, South Korea's Samsung, SK hynix become the absolute "leader", Samsung is due to DRAM memory, NAND Flash memory prices, this year will surpass Apple to become the world's most profitable companies.Zhao Weiguo said that the memory chip area is not a The country can be invincible forever.
Zhao Weiguo said that in 1983 Samsung founder Li Bingzhe announced to enter the semiconductor industry in preparation for 100 billion won to implement the plan.Samsung to withstand the technical blockade and low-cost dumping of Japanese companies, during which bear up to 300 million US dollars loss, while the South Korean government Then the power of the whole country to provide R & D costs support.
After nearly a decade of fierce battle, Samsung surpassed Japan's NEC in 1992 to become the world's largest maker of DRAM memory and has been the No. 1 in the world for the next 25 years. Today, Samsung accounts for more than 60%.
Zhao Weiguo said: "Everything Samsung deserves to learn and summarize, Ziguang to learn from Samsung's experience in the development of a chip and cloud-based business as an integrated science and technology consortium, so that it is possible to complete the rejuvenation of China's integrated circuit industry The great cause. "
Zhao Weiguo also mentioned at the 4th World Internet Congress on the 4th that China imports more chips annually than two-thirds of global output value. Total imports this year are estimated to exceed 250 billion U.S. dollars, which may be double that of oil imports. This is China Huge market depth.
In addition, China now possesses abundant capital, second only to the United States. This is the depth of capital. In China, graduating more than 7 million university graduates each year and nearly one million graduate students and doctoral students are huge amounts of talent.
Zhao Wei Guo pointed out that the semiconductor industry giants have basically maintained an annual investment of more than 10 billion US dollars in the rhythm. "There is not enough chips, or just keep up the folds not to play." Therefore, "Purple 10 years in the chip manufacturing industry to invest 1,000 One hundred million dollars is a basic figure, equivalent to an average annual investment of 10 billion U.S. dollars.

4. New technology can be printed on the fabric of integrated circuits;
In a glimmer of news, researchers succeeded in printing washable, flexible and breathable electronic circuits onto fabrics that open up new possibilities for smart textiles and wearable electronics, which are made from inexpensive, safe and Made from eco-friendly inks, they can be printed using common ink-jet printing technology, published in Nature Communications.
Academics at Cambridge University collaborated with colleagues in Italy and China in this area and demonstrated that inks printed with graphene (a two-dimensional form of carbon) and other two-dimensional materials can be directly printed on cloth to form integrated circuits Process.The new textile electronics are produced using low-cost inkjet printing technology and using standard processing techniques.The fabric is comfortable to wear and can be washed 20 times in a typical washing machine.
The academic community had previously developed formulations for graphene inks used in the printing of electronic materials, on the basis of which the team designed low-boiling inks that can be printed directly on polyester fabrics, and team members also found that, By adjusting the fiber's roughness to improve the performance of the printed device, researchers not only made single transistors, but also devised integrated circuits that combine active and passive components.
Most current wearable electronic devices rely on hard electronic parts that are mounted on plastic, rubber or textile, and in most cases they are very poorly compatible with the skin and can be damaged during cleaning and because of the airtight And to wear to the somatosensory.
"Other inks used to print electronic devices usually contain toxic solvents and are not suitable for wear.Our inks are not only cheap, safe and eco-friendly, but also can be combined into electronic circuits by simply printing different two-dimensional materials on the fabric, The first author of the paper, Dr. Felice Torrisi from Cambridge Graphene Center, said.
"Digital textile printing technology has been around for decades and simple dyes can be printed on fabrics, but for the first time in our research, this technology has also proven to impress the entire electronic integrated circuit on textiles." The paper's other An author said. "Although we are demonstrating a very simple integrated circuit, but this process is scalable, in the wearable electronic technology development, in terms of its complexity and performance, there is no fundamental obstacle . "
Printed originals are flexible and washable, these are the most basic requirements for wearable electronics.
The research opens up several business opportunities for 2D materials inks, including personal health and wellness technologies, wearable energy acquisition and storage, uniforms, wearable computing and more.
"Turning textile fibers into functional electronic components opens up a whole new range of applications from healthcare to the Internet of Things," said Torrisi. "Thanks to nanotechnology, in the future there will be textile-based electronics on our clothes, Such as a monitor or sensor, and interact with it. "
The use of graphene and other related 2D inks to make electronic components and equipment and to combine it with fabrics and textiles is central to the development of new technologies in the smart textile industry.
5. I prepared a new material with strong magneto-electric coupling effect;
Science and Technology Daily (Reporter Yu Huiyou) Magnetic and electrical properties are two basic functional properties of materials.How to integrate electrical and magnetic properties into the same system and realize the regulation of two properties by magnetic and electric fields is the future of advanced Multi-functional electronic devices important research direction.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Physics Longyou Wen team, through the unique high-pressure high temperature experimental device developed in the world for the first time in the world with large electric polarization and strong magnetoelectric coupling effect of new single-phase multi-iron material BiMn3Cr4O12. This development The next generation of information memory, adjustable microwave signal processor, ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors, magnetic transducers and other potential good.the results recently published in the internationally renowned material journals "advanced materials", as the current period of the cover of the recommended Scientific progress.
Semiconductor and magnetic recording / storage devices, which are widely used daily, can usually only make use of the electrical or magnetic properties of the material alone. In order to make the material possess both magnetostrictive properties, it is theoretically possible to synthesize magnetoelectric multiferroic materials. However, , The existing single-phase multi-iron material can not have both large electric polarization and strong magneto-electric coupling effect, which greatly hinders its potential application.
Long Wenwen introduction, the past of such materials preparation, usually carried out under atmospheric conditions.This time, the team to break the conventional restrictions, the use of their own unique high-pressure high-temperature experimental setup, up to 80,000 atmospheres of ultra-conventional experimental conditions, The first successful preparation of a new multi-iron material BiMn3Cr4O12.
In this system, the introduction of trivalent bismuth ions induces the ferroelectric phase transition with large electric polarization at higher temperature.With the decrease of temperature, the trivalent chromium and manganese magnetic ions form the long-range magnetic ordered structure , Respectively, induce the first and second types of multi-phase iron.The rare coexistence of these two types of multi-iron phase, so that the material has both large electric polarization and strong magnetoelectric coupling effect.At the same time, the new material can also be individually regulated two A ferroelectric phase, to achieve four-iron electrode state conversion, as polymorphic storage possible.
6. Chinese scholars to achieve two-dimensional atomic crystal double vertical pn junction large area controllable preparation
Set micro-mesh news, according to Hunan University report, in recent years, two-dimensional layered semiconductor due to its novel physical and structural properties, has shown great potential for the next generation of electronic and optoelectronic integrated system.Compared to a simple two Heterojunction of Dimensional Materials and 2D Layered Materials Due to the steep interface with atomic layer thickness and the tunable band arrangement, it is more suitable for multi-functional on-chip integration and attracts much attention. However, the existing research Most of them stay in the use of mechanical stripping and stacking method to get the vertical heterojunction, and this method due to the obtained heterojunction shape and size can not be controlled, greatly limiting its future application development.In comparison, by direct However, the direct growth of large-sized, high-quality two-dimensional atomic-layered vertical heteroj unction, especially pn heterogeneity Results are still a big problem for the scientific community.
Recently, the cross-research team of nano-photonic materials and devices led by Professor Pan An-lian, a professor at the Institute of Micro and Nano Information Devices and Systems, Hunan University, for the first time realized the vertical double-walled pn heterojunction WSe2 / SnS2 with macroscopic millimeter size using controlled chemical vapor deposition And achieves the application in high performance integrated optoelectronic devices.This achievement is an important breakthrough in the field of novel two-dimensional atomic crystal photovoltaic research and is described in the article "Van der Waals epitaxial growth and optoelectronics of large-scale WSe2 / SnS2vertical bilayer p-n junctions' was published in the top international journal Nature Communications (IF = 12.124). The lead author of the paper is PhD students Yang Tiefeng and Zheng Biluan who are guided by Prof. Pan Anli.
In this work, the researchers achieved a fine large-area monolayer-monolayer controlled growth based on a profound understanding of the growth process by adopting the advanced two-step thermal chemical vapor deposition method and obtained the largest WSe2 / SnS2 vertical single crystal double pn heterojunction fabrication, the lateral size of the heterojunction has reached the order of millimeters.In this large area of two-dimensional pn heterojunction, researchers also designed and constructed three different types of devices , Parallel-series mode heterojunction devices have been shown to exhibit very low leakage currents (~ 10-14A) as well as high transistor switching ratios (107) by characterization, with good optoelectronic response characteristics, many The performance is better than the previously reported index.The response time to 520nm laser is about 500 microseconds, exceeding all the directly growing vertical pn heterojunction reported, even better than most of the heterojunction formed by mechanical peel transfer.In addition Through the realization of three different performance devices on the same large-size two-dimensional heterojunction, the corresponding devices can be selected according to the specific use requirements in the future and achieve a certain sense of integration. The next step will be to build new two-dimensional material integrated optoelectronic devices and systems to lay the foundation.
The research work was supported by such topics as National Outstanding Youth Fund, National Natural Science Foundation of China and Hunan Provincial Science and Technology Plan Key Project and was supported by the team of Hu Weida, Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics, Miao Feng Team of Nanjing University and Sun Litao of Southeast University.
