Editor's note: In the past year, the teachers and students of the university have thoroughly studied and implemented Xi Jinping’s socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the Party’s Nineteenth Congress Spirit. They have fully implemented the spirit of the national and Beijing ideological and political work conferences and fully implemented the eighth party members of the school. In the process of promoting the development of various undertakings of the school, the spirit of the congress represented a spirit of strenuousness, innovation, and the use of practical actions to practise the original heart and mission of the workers and workers of the new era. A number of good examples of fashion trends emerged and formed some effective ones. The good practices described some exciting and good stories and sang the main theme of the university industry. On March 30th, the school held a grand ceremony of the 2017 “Magnolia” news awards ceremony, which focused on commending these advanced models. In order to further inspire Inspire school teachers and students to promote the school's 'four projects' and 'four tasks', and the campus network will immediately start a series of reports on the awards of the 'Magnolia' news awards to teachers and students.
Professor Yan Jiang, Dean of the School of Electronic and Information Engineering. For more than 30 years, he has maintained high standards and strict requirements. He has been at the forefront of everything and has made outstanding contributions to the school in terms of teaching, research, and education.
Learn to return and serve the motherland
Prof. Yan Jiang, the first generation of university graduates who had resumed college entrance exams since the “Cultural Revolution,” had a master's degree from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and entered the newly established Microelectronics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At that time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences trained talents. Opportunities chose to go abroad for further study. Unexpectedly, this was actually 17 years. During the period of foreign life, Yan Jiang first obtained a doctoral diploma in electrical engineering from the University of Texas, and entered Infineon (formerly Siemens Semiconductor R&D) The headquarters has successively launched joint development projects with IBM, Samsung, Toshiba and other companies. In 2009, the 49-year-old Yan Jiang moved back to China with the idea that 'technical learning is almost the same, it is time to come back and serve the motherland'. It is the second year of the Party’s Central Organization Department’s introduction of an overseas high-end talent program (the “Thousand Talents Project”). Yan Jiang, who has already had a high reputation in the field of international microelectronics, soon joined the “Thousand People Plan” after returning home. 'The team. After returning home, he and his team took over the '22nm Key Process Technology Pilot Research and Platform Construction' project. What is '22nm'? 22nm Minimum size of a transistor cells arranged on the chip, the smaller the size, the more dense circuit mounted on each chip, the more powerful function of the chip, but the corresponding technical development has become even more difficult.
We must know that many domestic teams have participated in this project before, but unfortunately none of them have made much progress. Yan Jiang said: '22 nanotechnology was at the time the world’s leading technology, one of the leading technologies. The birth of products and technologies requires a process of accumulation. Many of the developing technologies have not been seen, they have not been done, they only look at some documents, or they rely on imagination to achieve technological breakthroughs. Some of them are not realistic. People have participated in the research and development of chip 45nm, 32nm technology abroad, so after taking over the project, they designed the correct experimental direction, avoided many possible errors in the experiment, maximized the resource utilization and reduced the completion of the experiment. Time. Can quickly overcome this problem, where experience has played a huge role. '
Light a light and light up
A few years ago, the introduction of advanced chip technology, Intel, IBM, TSMC, Samsung Electronics these international brands will immediately appear in people's minds, if someone predicted that China will make a breakthrough in 22nm high-end technology research and development and breakthroughs. , would be considered a fantasy, crazy dream. However, Professor Yan Jiang led the Chinese Academy of Sciences microelectronics integrated circuit pilot R & D center team to achieve this dream, make this a reality. So far, only the world's Intel Corporation In the 22nm technology generation, large-scale production was realized. The team of IC pioneers R&D center of the Institute of Microelectronics led by Prof. Yan Jiang achieved an important breakthrough in the 22nm key process technology pilot research and platform construction. China has also joined the international club of high-end integrated circuit pioneering technology research and development. As this work adopts the same process and process as that used in industrial production, it has the conditions to transfer to the industry, and thus has formed a technological upgrading of the integrated circuit industry in China. The promotion of practical significance. At the same time, this pilot process is under development. A technology platform capable of carrying out research and development on behalf of 22nm and below was built. After completing the first research project, from 2013 onwards, the team he led undertook '22nm key process technology pilot research and platform building' and ' 14-16 nanotechnology key technology pilot research 'two major national science and technology projects.
However, when talking about the difference between foreign and domestic research, Yan Jiang deeply felt. In his view, at least from the field of microelectronics, the most advanced technology in foreign countries is in the hands of enterprises. Enterprises develop R&D in accordance with the development of products. New technologies, like Intel, which controls 95% of the chip industry, have a strong R&D team. They will continue to develop new products based on the development of the CPU, so that they will be leading from generation to generation. The world's top companies, their investment in scientific research is enormous. And the domestic in this respect is relatively backward, the number of top-level scientific research personnel is too small, the domestic companies can not reach the scale of the international giant. So that the majority of scientific research led by the government, funding Under such a premise, although the state has increased its input, it has carried out thousands of people plans, Cheung Kong Scholars, 100-person plans and other measures to complement talents, but objectively speaking, domestically-acquired technologies still have a certain gap compared with international frontier technologies. .
Join Gongda to help 'core' development
After returning home in 2009, Yan Jiang has been working in the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the spring of 2017, he left the eight-year research frontline and became a new member of the North China University of Technology. Yan Jiang has a new identity. , People's teachers. He said: 'From the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the North University of Technology, I have more room for development.' This answer will make ordinary people feel unbelievable. How can a school compare with the Chinese Academy of Sciences? In fact, North China University of Technology is a Beijing municipal institution. One of the few colleges offering microelectronics programs. Zhang Jing, from the Department of Microelectronics, said: “Beijing’s colleges and universities have individually listed microelectronics as a department, only one of us”. In order to advance the discipline construction , The Department of Microelectronics and the Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed a joint training system for undergraduates, masters, and doctors. The school has introduced Professor Yan Jiang.
When the college talked with me, I felt their sincerity, and sincerely hoped that I would join in. Our researchers need support from the leaders. North China University of Technology has this intention, and I also have the idea to put the subject of microelectronics, even The college was better built and climbed to a higher level. 'Yan Jiang felt that 'in the Chinese Academy of Sciences itself is just an ordinary researcher, and to North China University of Technology may play a more important role, because the school gave me the opportunity to fully display my talents. 'He said: 'The most important role I have come here is to bring people together and strive for more external resources for the team, so that everyone's work can be in line with the development of the international frontier. In this way, North China University of Technology Microelectronics The department has become a unique discipline, has achieved one of the highest standards in colleges and universities, and has become a 'business card' of the school. '
'Core' division 'new' friends, make progress together
For teaching work, Yan Jiang said, 'I have held many lectures related to microelectronics before. However, it is the first time that I teach students as a teacher. I believe in my work experience, research experience and domestic and international education. Students can receive new ideas, new knowledge, and new inspirations. Of course, teaching is actually a mutual process. Students will give me many new thoughts and thoughts while I teach, and I'm also learning. Therefore, students are very welcome to interact with me, ask academic questions, ask about life experience, if you have the willingness to talk, I am willing to be a listener, can help you understand, and put forward some more pertinent suggestions. Compared to my teacher, I hope I can become a good friend of my classmates.
Regarding how to make students learn in school and be able to connect effectively with society, Yan Jiang said: 'Students go to the community regardless of what specific tasks they are engaged in. They are exposed to new things. They are not taught in schools. Then we should Students can develop independent thinking and ability to accept new things during the university. Unlike passive learning in primary and secondary schools, university teachers are more important in teaching students how to learn. ' Yan Jiang also said, 'Simply talk' 'It is not enough, because ability is not something that can be quantified simply. The basic knowledge in textbooks requires students to master, but also to explore their own horizons through research, to cultivate the interest of self-study. Now the initiative and initiative of college students need to be strengthened. Where our college education will explore in the future. '
Professor Yan Jiang’s ideas are broadened and deepened. There is an air of chivalrousness between conversations. When he participated in the 'Jin Yong Academy Swords' event in 2013, he said, 'The chip research is just as tiring as Jin Yong’s novels. But seeing the progress of everyday life, I feel very happy, and the knight can better speak for the people. Our team's efforts can make the motherland more emboldened! 'I believe Professor Yan Jiang's joining will also make our school's microelectronics profession more Emboldened, leading the microelectronics discipline to climb higher peaks.
