Chapter 108: The more you talk, the more angry you get

"Chief, in fact, I have said so much about the level of our country's integrated circuit industry, just to compare it with the technical level and investment intensity of foreign countries. Our total investment in the integrated circuit industry over the past 20 years is 1.5 billion yuan, equivalent to more than 400 million US dollars. And what I want to say is that this is far from enough...... "Last year, our country's annual output of integrated circuits was 96.7 million, accounting for only 0.36% of the total output of integrated circuits last year, and sales were less than 400 million yuan, accounting for only 0.13% of the world's total sales;

From the perspective of the industrial chain, our integrated circuit industry system is not complete and unreasonable, and it is still very weak in ICCAD, plate making, packaging, testing and other links, and the supporting conditions such as special equipment, testing instruments and special materials have not yet reached the level of industrial production. Only some of the 3-inch wafers and 5-micron technology process equipment have been localized, and some of the key materials required for 5-micron technology products, such as photoresist, frame materials, molding materials, etc., still have to be imported.

After entering the 80s of the 20th century, many countries in the world have developed the integrated circuit industry at all costs in order to gain advantages in integrated circuits. It is said that the current administration has surpassed the United States in the industrialized mass production and application of memory.

In order to maintain its leading position in the field of semiconductors and protect its national defense and security and long-term interests, the United States formed a semiconductor consortium two years ago, that is, in 89 years, and invested $1.5 billion to develop production equipment and production lines with a line width of 0.35 microns, and has mastered the technology of 0.2 microns; Western European countries have established a joint center for submicron silicon technology and invested $4.5 billion to develop new technologies.

"Actually, what I want to say most is South Korea, and I strongly recommend that we refer to South Korea's 'vibrating core plan' when formulating the strategic plan for the integrated circuit industry. South Korea only engaged in integrated circuits in 1977, 16 years later than the United States, and 12 or 13 years later than China and RB. However, in less than 15 years, South Korea's semiconductor industry has grown from a barren country to the world's third largest semiconductor industry. You must know that ten years ago, China's chip technology was far ahead of South Korea, but now the other party is far ahead of our level. ”

Before the 80s of the 20th century, South Korea's semiconductor industry was still very limited, just a simple, labor-intensive assembly node. However, in 1975, in order to develop a self-sufficient economy, the Korean government announced a six-year plan to support the semiconductor industry, emphasizing the localization of electronic components and semiconductor production.

The South Korean government is also organizing a joint development project for DRAM, one of the most common types of memory, which is a public-private partnership, to develop the DRAM industry through government investment. In the process of semiconductor industrialization, the South Korean government promotes the economic development model of "government + large conglomerates", promotes the efficient integration of "capital + technology + talents", and provides "economic concessional" measures to large conglomerates.

After 1984, South Korea officially embarked on the road of revitalizing the "core", in which the role of the government was indispensable.

In the implementation of the "Semiconductor Industry Promotion Plan", the South Korean government has invested a total of 346 million US dollars in loans and stimulated 2 billion US dollars in private investment, which has greatly promoted the development of the Korean semiconductor industry.

From 84 to 87, the South Korean government still invested $5-1 billion a year to develop the chip industry despite consecutive losses. Taking South Korea's Samsung Group as an example, by the end of 1988, it had invested a total of $1.7 billion, assumed huge losses of up to $500 million, and built a competitive integrated circuit industry, with sales of integrated circuits reaching $1.5 billion in 1989 and a monthly output of 1M DRAM680 million pieces. From January to June last year alone, it produced 100,000 pieces of 4M DRAM per month, and its annual sales are expected to reach 2 billion US dollars.

"Of course, I don't mean that we want to engage in monopoly management, but we must learn from the South Korean government's technical assistance to Korean companies, the government's strong protection, and the spirit of 'stubbornness' of enterprises......

"Chief, on the other hand, what about our country's industrial policy?" Yu Zixian's voice became faster and faster.

"Although at present we regard the integrated circuit industry as a basic industry that penetrates into all fields of the national economy, and now there are many categories and varieties of IC products, but since the cancellation of the import and export license procedures for electronic products last year, the domestic market of the electronics industry has adopted a completely open state, and the market has been exchanged for technology, but it has been beaten by foreign giants, and it is miserable!

"Take the previous national introduction of IC technology projects as an example, although a certain scale of chip production plants has been built, but the country's 'introduction, digestion, absorption, innovation' eight-character policy has only been completed half, spending a huge amount of money to introduce, but only digesting a skin, resulting in the introduction of production lines again and again, and they are all backward technologies, and they are eliminated when put into production...... Dozens of production lines have been introduced, except for the 742 factory that digests and absorbs some technology, which other factory has no core technology, only passively beaten and eliminated!"

"At present, the mature chip products in the international market are either more advanced than ours, or the price of imported chips with the same technical level as ours is cheaper, resulting in a sharp decline in the demand for domestic chip markets!"

In the international market, international giants have a large demand and large production volume, and fixed capital such as machinery and equipment is transferred to products, and the cost is much lower than that of our country.

"Of course, limited by Batumi, at the beginning, advanced chips were not sold to us, but when our own chips were developed, they began to sell, and even dumped cheaply, in order to squeeze China's industry!"

"What's more, what is infuriating is that there is a phenomenon of admiring foreign countries in the field of chips, and in the case that imported chips at the same level are more expensive, some domestic manufacturers still prefer imported chips!"

"In such a situation, how can we compete with those foreign giants!"

"There is also the fact that those coastal cities are from unknown sources and are dead (private) products, which are even more hateful! There are no tariff restrictions, but they openly enter the domestic market at low prices, and use our market to feed those Korean manufacturers, not to mention, our country loses more than 1 billion yuan in huge tariffs every year, and at the same time squeezes out our own chip enterprise ......."

Seeing that Minister Li was shaking his head slightly at him, Yu Zixian noticed Chief Hai's increasingly frowning brows.

Forehead...... The more Yu Zixian spoke, the more angry he became, was he a little upset just now?!

Yu Zixian slowly lowered his head and secretly glanced at Chief Hai.
