Just a few days ago, the online exposure of PC DDR4 memory core with a purple core logo is completely independent research and development of DRAM particles. A single capacity of 4GB, the specific parameters are unknown .In January of this year, Purple Group invested 200 billion yuan in Nanjing The construction of a semiconductor base will, after its completion, be the largest semiconductor manufacturing base in China with a monthly capacity of 100,000 wafers. In July last year, Ziguang Group also participated in the investment in the Yangtze River Storage and planned to invest 160 billion yuan to build a home-made 3D NAND flash memory , Research and development DRAM.
We are familiar with the memory of the semiconductor industry is only a small part of the consumer market is one of them, then China invested hundreds of billions is it just for this humble little market? Then we from From several angles to analyze the reason why the domestic semiconductor so rapid force.
Prevent backdoors
Some time ago Intel exposed the ME event, confirmed that Intel's processor has a completely independent internal system, which consists of one or more cores and memory, clock, bus for the retention of memory encryption engine composition, and even have a separate Operating system and applications, the main system can read the memory, network controller can link the network.
More importantly, this system can run while the computer is asleep or even powered off. As long as Intel is thinking, ME can take full control of the user's computer without the user's knowledge. It can control power on, power off, read Take all open files, check all running programs, track user's keyboard, mouse actions, and even take screenshots.
These have no effect on the average user, and our individual users are not of much value to be monitored for hundreds of millions of processors worldwide, but if the department concerned with national security uses its processor or if it is used for military purposes Very dangerous, so if we use the Intel processor, the confidential department may be the back door to others, theft of confidential and even the key equipment is controlled.
However, such high-end semiconductor products as memory and processor have long been monopolized by foreign manufacturers. With the rapidly increasing informationization of the state and society, if there is no semi-conductor product with completely independent intellectual property rights at this time, Hands.
Turn the car overtaking
Intel was founded 49 years ago from 1968 to the present, when the situation in China did not allow the large-scale development of the semiconductor industry, which lagged behind some .Today, China already has a considerable financial resources, is the world The second largest economy already has enough resources to develop the semiconductor industry.
The most typical representative of domestic semiconductor products is Godson, and Godson is a wholly owned domestic ownership of their property rights processor, is currently mainly used in the national sector, its use is mainly for security purposes to consider, in order to avoid future accidents .Although the distance Consumer-level high-end processors there is still a certain gap, but the gap narrowed much faster than the speed of processor development that year, can be said to be fast forward.
Currently Godson also has the appropriate development board products for sale, developers need to fill in the official website information, meet certain conditions will be sold to you, the main purpose is to allow developers to study the system development and research, enrich the software resources , To create a stronger ecosystem.
Prepare for the future
China's R & D and production capacity is very influential in the world market, presumably the world is very familiar with the word 'MADE IN CHINA.' Because of this, some very developed countries in the semiconductor industry jointly limit the development of China's semiconductor industry, the most typical Is the lithography machine, without this device, even if the design of the semiconductor device circuit, no lithography machine can not be chip manufacturing.
Under normal circumstances, the world is using a process of lithography machine manufactured products will not produce any profit, will have been out of the process of lithography machine exports to us, and the price is still high.
At present, China wants to establish a complete mainstream processor manufacturing system, then there are still some degree of difficulty, but although it started very late, but under the mighty reserve force, you want to break through the obstacles is still very promising. China's total semiconductor industry has invested about 500 billion yuan, and strive to build a complete industrial chain in the future, I believe that research and development will make the whole world with China-made high-end semiconductor products.
