"The biggest problem is that there are not enough talents, and Huaguo has too few talents in the field of chips. Most of the engineers with a small number of previous experience also work in state-owned enterprises or research institutes, which is seriously out of touch with front-line production. Some of them are very good learners and can get started quickly.

There are very few engineers who can get up and running.

For this problem, we have started a joint training program with the Shenhai Municipal Government, but it is far from enough to rely on only two companies of Xinxin Technology to lead this plan, and the number of other semiconductor companies in the entire Zhangjiang Park is still too small.

One is that the number is too small, and the other is that they have little interest in letting college students come to internships, and they can bring very few internship positions. ”

The most important thing for the development of semiconductor technology is talent, and talent is the solid cornerstone of all this.

Guan Jianying continued: "Xinxin Semiconductor is mainly engaged in chip design, and we can offer a high salary, just the A1 series chips and the decoding chip produced for Apple, these two products are enough for us to hire thousands of college students with the first-class salary in the entire Shenhai."

It is not enough to rely on talents in the field of chip design, and the upstream and downstream of chips is a huge job.

Chip foundry is the key, Hua Hong Semiconductor is limited by the shackles of NEC, we are now talking with Shen Hai and Yanjing, Hua Hong Semiconductor and Xinxin Technology to establish a new chip foundry company, and move part of Hua Hong's production capacity to the newly established joint venture company.

The joint venture between Hua Hong and NEC still produces memory chips, while the new company we established with Hua Hong will mainly make decoding chips, and the DSP chips that will be used in the next generation of Mphone will also be handed over to this new company.

In this way, we can cultivate a group of talents in the field of chip foundry. ”

Whether it's neon, goryeo, or bend, the rise of semiconductors in these places relies on a large number of talented engineers.

These engineers are not top talents, but excellent talents at a certain level, and a large and stable supply of excellent talents is an important reason why East Asia is leading in the semiconductor competition.

In the case of Wanwan, for example, the best students in the early days of Wanwan will not go to TSMC, they will go to study finance, medicine or computer science. Even if you enter the semiconductor field, chip design is a better place to go than chip foundry.

is also a well-known company in the field of curved chips, MediaTek's starting salary is higher than TSMC, and the working environment is more relaxed.

Because chip foundry is a manufacturing industry, it is an out-and-out industry.

Most of the engineers who can enter TSMC are between the top five percent and one in the top 1,000 in the bend area, they are not the top talents, but they are definitely good enough.

This is because the characteristic of East Asian education is to cultivate such homogeneous talents.

Therefore, chip foundry has only developed in the Goryeo and Wanwan regions, on the one hand, because Ameriken suppressed Neon, and on the other hand, it is also because these two regions have a sufficient and stable supply of talents.

It's not good to be mediocre enough, and those who have worked as chip foundries know that people with dreams and talents will not do that kind of super-tiring and unfulfilled screw work. The chip foundry industry is not created by a few creative geniuses who propose directions, but the result of a large team of engineers.

Almost all of TSMC's R&D leaders were poached from America, such as Hu Zhengming, Liang Mengsong, Lin Benjian, etc., and later emerged from the grassroots one after another.

The leader of the R&D team only decides the direction, and the follow-up team operation and execution are the key to TSMC's leadership.

Moreover, tens of thousands of TSMC engineers are qualified to enter the advanced process R&D team, and there are only hundreds of people in the first generation of process. The hundreds of engineers who were later packaged and taken away by Ameriken are the essence of TSMC engineers, their R&D team with the most advanced process.

Hu Zhengming is much more optimistic than Guan Jianying: "The current situation is much better than I expected.

Lao Guan, I'll go to the place where I live today to rectify it, and when I go to the company tomorrow, you can help me find some of the specific situations of the Huaguo integrated circuit enterprises that you have collected during this period and introduce them to me.

In addition, there are state-owned branches of foreign companies in China, and what business these branches do in China, and I will also give me a copy of these information. If I'm not mistaken, Intel has a branch in China.

In my opinion, this is not the biggest difficulty, the biggest difficulty is that due to the restrictions of the Wassenaar agreement, China cannot import the most advanced equipment.

Without the Wassenaar Agreement, Huaguo can import the most advanced equipment from abroad and build the chip production line with the most advanced manufacturing process, and it is easy to cultivate talents. ”

It is normal for the upstream and downstream of chip production lines to come from all over the world. Or take TSMC as an example, the plant, circuits and pipelines are made by Bend, the automation equipment in the factory is mainly from neon, and the processing table and mechanical equipment are from the Netherlands and neon respectively.

The main ones from the Netherlands are lithography machines, and the chemical raw materials come from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Neon, Ameriken and other countries.

It's the same as a big plane, you're able to integrate and produce a finished product.

All localization is unrealistic in today's highly developed business, and Zhou Xin has not thought about all localization, he only wants to control the key nodes of some technologies, and achieve technological leadership in these key technology nodes.

"Take the A1E chip designed by you as an example, Mphone has sold one million units, which means that 1 million A1E chips have been produced, and one such chip is about $110, which means that A1E has a revenue of $100 million in half a year.

At the same time, chip foundries can help Mphone OEM chips, so they can also help other chip design manufacturers make chips. With Mphone's chip demand as the cornerstone, it is easy for chip manufacturers to form a positive cycle.

Matrix raises demand, Xinxin Semiconductor is responsible for designing chips to meet Matrix's needs, and then chip manufacturers manufacture the chips designed by Xinxin, and Xinxin lithography machines slowly enter the manufacturing process.

We can slowly cultivate talents, we can slowly develop lithography machines, catch up with advanced technology, and at the same time be able to conduct research and development in the fields of chip materials and EDA software.

It will not take too long to develop the chip industry, and the fastest is five years and the longest is only ten years. Then we can lead the entire semiconductor industry forward.

I believe that Zhou Xin also thought this way at the beginning, but the problem now is that Huaguo enterprises cannot import the most advanced equipment, and the production line in Huaguo cannot manufacture chips with the most advanced process.

The 260nm chip could not meet the needs of Mphone, and the forward cycle was stuck in the chip manufacturing process.

So I need to carry out a field trip in China, and Mphone can't start the first step, so we have to start the first step with another product. ”
