After years of development, a group of qualified personnel has been cultivated in our country, but both quantity and quality are not enough to support the rapid development of the current industry. Specifically, the current status of talent in mainland China mainly exists in two aspects: First, the lack of high-end talent; the second is the same lack of basic personnel in the field of integrated circuits.
According to calculations, by 2020, China's IC industry needs about 700,000 to 800000 employees, but now we can only meet about half of the demand.China's semiconductor manufacturers in order to close the gap, or even catch up, continue to introduce talent from all over , Launched the offensive.The most talked about was undoubtedly last year, Leung Mengsong switched from Samsung to SMIC.
Semiconductor talent
Intel Dalian 3D NAND Capacity Expansion
According to Taiwanese media reports, Intel Dalian Plant, which has expanded its 3D NAND Flash capacity in an all-round way, recently recruited talents from Taiwan again. In mid-March, it conducted a face-to-face meeting at the National Taiwan University, sending salary packages to take the TSMC specifications.
As the Dalian factory to achieve the mainland before the localization of talent as the goal, Intel's visit to Taiwan to find talent, but also lead the industry concerned about the global development of 3D NAND Flash technology is now Samsung, SK hynix, Micron / Intel, Toshiba, with In succession, all the factories have broken through the technical bottlenecks and the market demand has greatly increased. In recent years, they have all announced that they will expand their production capacity to keep the market share.
Due to the previous Intel Dalian plant announced in 2010 and the transition to the production of 3D NAND Flash chips in 2015, both native to mainland China and publicly stated that in order to realize the localization of high-end talent, more than 300 mainland engineers went to the United States, Singapore In fact, in the past, Dalian factory engineers mostly used mainland Chinese as the mainstay. The visit to Taiwan also triggered the concern of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and mainland China.
Semiconductor manufacturers said that the majority of Intel's Dalian plants are mainly local talents in mainland China. Since they are cooperating with local governments, they have also been shouting the target of fostering semiconductor talent programs in mainland China. The current visit to Taiwan also shows that the wafer manufacturing in mainland China is also relevant Although the mainland government is actively pursuing talent cultivation programs at various polytechnics and employing generous amounts of international experts such as Taiwan, there is still a gap between Taiwan's accumulated professional training and actual combat experience over many years. At present, it is difficult for the mainland to meet the active expansion With the demand for semiconductor talent, coupled with the talented people in Taiwan in recent years due to their low salary and high willingness to leave, Taiwan's recruitment is the most affordable way.
In order to attract talented people in Taiwan, Intel reported that the recruitment salary, whether graduates or experienced personnel, will at least take the basic specifications of TSMC, which is definitely better than the current treatment.
Taiwanese talent is hard to reach
If you switch to mainland enterprises, wages will reach 2 to 3 times before.Taiwan semiconductor giant headache, saying that "was robbed last year more than 100 people." Taiwan's top science and technology focus on the semiconductor industry, the income is also high.
Earlier, Taiwanese media also disclosed that Bitland will set aside points in Taiwan and set a higher salary than first-tier IC design giants, such as ASIC and artificial intelligence elites at MediaTek, Morningstar, and Creative.
Recently, Taiwan DRAM maker Nanya Branch said relevant Chinese manufacturers have gradually dredged about 50 people. In order to leave important technical personnel, the company also dropped a large sum of money. According to the key technical personnel, it offered a talent retention plan of about 500 people. At this stage to give cash .But, in terms of treatment, they are clearly difficult to contend with mainland enterprises.
