Set micro-network news (text / Xiaobei) Now is the professional stage of the college entrance examination, many students have the willingness to choose microelectronics related majors.
A graduate student at Xi'an Electronic Microelectronics Institute said that studying microelectronics requires psychological preparation for graduate study, because the technical threshold is very high in this field, and the direction of subdivision is very different. For example, Xidian Microelectronics Institute has materials. Chip design, wafer and other subdivision research directions, graduates from different directions will also enter different companies to work in different segments.
One of the reasons for the lack of integrated circuit talents in China: Setting up microelectronics colleges and universities, small and microelectronics, integrated circuits are specialized in cultivating integrated circuit talents, but there are not many universities setting up these two majors. Research Network shows that there are 67 universities and research institutes enrolled graduate students in microelectronics and solid-state electronics (electronic science and technology), and 13 universities and research institutes recruited graduate students in integrated circuit engineering. There are less than 100 undergraduate universities offering microelectronics science and engineering.
Many schools' communications, optoelectronics, electronic science and technology, materials and other professional roles play a role in cultivating integrated circuit talents. Dalian Institute of Technology Microelectronics School teacher said in an interview with Jiwei.com, it is still difficult to communicate in the field of chip design. If you want to work on wafer-related work, it will be more difficult. At the same time, the salary of IC-related work is lower than that of the Internet. Therefore, these professional undergraduate graduates rarely choose to work in integrated circuits. This is integration. An important reason for the lack of basic circuit talent.
It is reported that if China's integrated circuit industry reaches 1 trillion yuan in output value in 2020, at least 700,000 related talents will be needed, but now there are less than 300,000 people, and the gap is more than 400,000.
China has made a series of layouts for the training of IC talents in colleges and universities. In order to overcome the shortage of talents in China's integrated circuits, the state has decided to establish a national IC talent training base in universities with comparative advantages in China, with the goal of 6 to 8 years of hard work. Trained 40,000 IC design talents and 10,000 IC process talents for the country.
In 2003, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science and Technology approved Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology, the first batch of national integrated circuits The construction unit of the talent training base, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, is funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the rest of the university funds are raised by themselves.
In August 2004, the Ministry of Education approved Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Tongji University, South China University of Technology and Northwestern Polytechnical University as the construction unit of the national integrated circuit talent training base; June 2009 The Ministry of Education once again approved five universities including Beijing University of Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Tianjin University, Zhongshan University and Fuzhou University as the construction units of three batches of national integrated circuit talent training bases. The layout of the national integrated circuit talent training base has been initially completed.
In 2015, Peking University, Tsinghua University, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Zhejiang University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, 9 universities were listed in the list of universities supporting the construction of demonstration microelectronics colleges. Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing University of Technology, Tianjin University, Dalian University of Technology, Tongji University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei University of Technology, Fuzhou University, Shandong University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology , Zhongshan University, South China University of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwestern University of Technology, 17 universities were included in the list of colleges and universities to prepare for the construction of demonstration microelectronics.
Enrollment expansion, joint training, strengthening microelectronics talent training Microelectronics college or microelectronics expansion is a trend in the past two years. For example, Tianjin University integrated circuit professional began to expand enrollment in 2016, from the original one class to three classes. This year, the School of Microelectronics of Shandong University has enrolled 40% of undergraduate students majoring in microelectronics science and engineering and integrated circuit design and integration systems, and plans to enroll 120 students. This expansion covers 985, 211 and other key institutions, and the proportion of enrollment in each university. Not waiting.
However, large-scale expansion is limited by teachers, teaching venues and other factors.
This year, in addition to Southeast University, there are not many large-scale expansion of the nine exemplary microelectronics colleges. The micro-network reporter learned from the Xidian Admissions Office that this year, the microelectronics college will not have too many enrollment quotas. Similar to Xi'an Electronics, Tsinghua University's Hebei Admissions Office said that there is not much increase in the number of microelectronics enrollment students. This year's Hebei college entrance examination students may also be admitted to the profession by 2-3 people.
Strengthening the training of integrated circuit talents, in addition to enrollment expansion, joint training, the addition of microelectronics or the establishment of microelectronics college is the main way of colleges and universities.
The Notice of the 2017 Annual General Undergraduate Professional Recording and Approval Results announced in March this year shows that five universities have added microelectronics engineering majors, including Tongji University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Henan Polytechnic University, Hunan Institute of Science and Technology. Henan Normal University. It is worth noting that the microelectronics major of Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications was revoked. It is reported that the new microelectronics major/college can obtain a certain amount of financial support. Wuxi IC New Deal pointed out that each new university in the city Professional, up to 1 million yuan of one-time encouragement, in Wuxi to carry out integrated circuit professional training, the highest priority is not more than 1 million yuan.
In April of this year, the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Electronic Science and Technology University of Microelectronics signed the 'Jointly Cultivating Education Base' agreement.
In interviews and surveys, the reporter found that colleges and universities have a relatively conservative attitude towards microelectronics. A teacher from Chengdu Normal University said: To some extent, the school's electronic science and technology have served as a microelectronics professional. I have the idea to set up a microelectronics major to train students in a more detailed way, but the microelectronics profession places high demands on teachers and experimental conditions, and requires a large investment. In addition, although the career direction is very good, the general college microelectronics College graduates are not very good at salary.
In terms of experimental equipment, microelectronics is indeed a 'high-input' specialty. For example, Dalian Institute of Technology Microelectronics has a state-of-the-art 8-inch integrated circuit technology line in the world. Of course, this is from Intel's donation. Several colleges and universities have sufficient funds to move the process line into the 'classroom', so cooperation with enterprises is a shortcut for IC talent training.
The new policy of talents is great, attracting ICs to 'settle in'. "The shortage of integrated circuits is serious, and the expansion of colleges and universities is difficult to solve the thirst." The article points out that 'the bigger the industry, the more talent is lacking', so the second-tier cities that develop integrated circuits are going to stay. Living in talents, they have introduced talent policies.
This round of talent new policy is broader and more powerful. It focuses on promoting the localization of talents. In addition to attracting key talents and leading talents, it is mainly to attract basic talents to settle down and bring new development momentum to the city. The restrictions on the settlement of talents, 'zero thresholds settled', 'first settled after employment', 'online settled'; in terms of housing, also give reasonable purchase qualifications, purchase subsidies (general talents generally in the 1 to 600,000), rental subsidies (ordinary Talents generally range from 600-1500 yuan/month, limited number of years of distribution, and living allowances (general talents are generally 500-1000 yuan/month, limited number of years of distribution). This round of talent new policy has a role in accelerating the inflow of intention-oriented talents. .
In terms of settlement, Nanjing proposed to settle down after employment and entrepreneurship. Xi'an will give a transition period for renting students in key universities. Chengdu will implement 'first-time employment after employment'. Qingdao/Tianjin proposes to rent a house to settle down and other new policies.
In terms of housing, living allowances, etc., college graduates settled in Xi'an, signed labor contracts, and paid social insurance, and gave a one-time reward subsidy of 1,000 yuan; all the college graduates in Xi'an area settled in Xi'an, according to each The 200 yuan standard for the people, giving the school a one-time reward; college graduates who have been in the flexible employment in Xi'an within 2 years, the full amount of social insurance subsidies for a period of not more than 2 years.
Xiamen IC industry related shortage of professional graduates will also enjoy subsidies for housing (rental), among which, undergraduate home allowance 800 yuan / month, rental subsidy 400 yuan / month, master student home allowance 1200 yuan / month, rental subsidy 600 yuan / In the month, the doctoral student's family allowance is 2,000 yuan/month, the rent subsidy is 1,000 yuan/month, and the subsidy period is 2 years. In addition, the "Xiamen Integrated Circuit Industry High-end Talent Evaluation Standard" Class A, Class B, and C-type IC high-end talents , respectively, enjoy a one-time home security subsidy of 1 million yuan, 500,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan.
Nanjing also proposes graduates who work and meet certain conditions. Each person can apply for a rent subsidy ranging from 600 yuan to 1,000 yuan per month.
Hefei will pay for housing purchase within three years of graduation. For newly-appointed doctors and masters (double-graduate undergraduate graduates), full-time undergraduates (technicians, preparatory technicians) will receive 100,000, 50,000, and 30,000 yuan respectively for the first purchase of fertilizer. The funds required for the purchase subsidy shall be shared by the city and the district (development zone) according to 1:1. For the doctors who work in the fertilizer industry and meet the talent list, the full-time master's degree and the 'double-class' undergraduate graduates and other urgently needed talents, The city will give 3,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan per month for living allowances in three years. In addition, for the basic living allowance for trainees, more than 10,000 job-seeking positions will be stably developed each year, and trainees will be given according to the standard of no less than 1,800 yuan per person per month. Basic living allowance. According to the number and quality of college students' internships and trainees, the subsidy for college students' internship base is given at an annual rate of 1,000 yuan per person.
The talent gathering effect brought by talent policy is remarkable. Take Xi'an as an example. As of June 20, this year, there were 500,068 people moving outside the city of Xi'an. Among them, 925 were doctors or above, 14,235 were masters, 157,356 were undergraduates, and 22,456 were introduced. people.
How do integrated circuit people look at the domestic industrial environment? Micro-network reporters interviewed six micro-electronic professional teachers and graduate students. On the issue of how to look at the environment of China's integrated circuit industry, they shared the view that the current domestic integrated circuit development environment is very Well, it is a good opportunity for IC people. It is necessary to 'sink and calm down' to do research and do projects. Similarly, there are some phenomena in the country that are more impetuous, such as 'curve overtaking' multiple times' Inappropriate 'reference.
A graduate student from the Xidian Microelectronics Institute said that he had worked in IC-related work in Samsung, China, and then turned to the investment field. He said that part of China's IC industry is doing practical research, but some are very impetuous. The high attention of the world to integrated circuits also reflects the impetuousness of this industry to some extent.
On June 20, the National Audit Office published the results of the Ministry of Education's 2017 budget execution and other audit results through the official website, including 'by the end of 2017, the affiliated software and microelectronics college of Peking University illegally held wealth management products of 145.8 million yuan. It is worth noting that Peking University was the first construction unit of the national IC talent training base approved in 2003, but it did not appear in the list of demonstration microelectronics institutes established in 2015.

6. Ni Guangnan: Domestic independent chips must be innovative. Gree is a reliable chip;
In Ni Guangnan's view, the ZTE incident has sounded the alarm for the industry, and it has also made the chip and system independent research and development pay attention.

In some special chips, more complicated chips, maybe before us. Nothing has been done, there are gaps, this is in terms of design, and the manufacturing gap is relatively large.
Finally, Ni Guangnan also talked about Huawei, Huawei Hisilicon chip's indicators and Qualcomm (56.12, 0.22, 0.39%) can be compared, is the same, but Qualcomm does not do mobile phones, Huawei to do mobile phones, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers and Huawei have a competitive relationship Huawei's business is relatively wide, and the chips themselves make their own use. Other mobile phone manufacturers may feel that Huawei's chips are a bit disadvantageous.
Finally, Ni Guangnan also believes that with the promotion of this wave of enthusiasm, after many capitals enter the market, the research and development of domestically produced independent chips and systems will surely take a new step.
