A group of chip company executives present were instantly stunned when they heard Sheng Huainan's words.

This treatment is also a little higher!

Zhu Shangzu's heart couldn't help but twitch.

President Sheng's speech is too exaggerated, and he shouldn't paint cakes like this.

In China, 07 years, although the country has paid relative attention to chips, but due to the low degree of industrialization of the chip industry in China, to put it bluntly, it is not profitable, the chip industry is basically a money-losing goods, most of the executives present are either from that island, or from the beautiful country to return to China, they are stunned to find a local talent.

None of the digs were dug up.

It can be seen that there is a lack of local chip talents.

In the four major positions in the field of digital chip design (front-end design/verification/DFT/back-end), for 9+17 microelectronics demonstration colleges, some 985, turtle master's graduates, the average annual salary of graduates given by relevant enterprises in China should be less than 50,000 yuan, and some even only about 30,000 yuan.

To put it mildly, 30,000 yuan can find an integrated circuit talent who graduated from 985, which is simply a shame within the industry.

And later generations, especially after 17 years, the popularity of the semiconductor industry has gradually increased, learning materials, physics majors have switched to semiconductors, and some new IC design companies have pushed up the salary of the entire industry is completely different, most of the students who study chip-related majors will basically transfer jobs directly after graduation, and there are almost no people who do chip research and development.

Now Zheku chips have recruited troops in the past year, and only give the same treatment as Shangsha R&D Center, a considerable proportion of newcomers can be found are actually students from the four schools of Qingbei and Fujiao, which in the later generations, without a starting salary of 40 W, don't even think about it, and people will not consider you as a start-up company in the southwest region at all.

Therefore, the current Zheku chip, that is, lacks people, technology, and time, and it is difficult to write a word!

"We now SoC system-on-chip, has been made, but now according to our R & D strength, we can only make 110nm grade, well, in fact, from the perspective of the main frequency, it may be worse than 11nm, now it has been taped out 5 times, but only 3 times have been successful, and it is not a complete tape-out success. . . ." Zhu Shangzu is the kind of professional management talent who focuses on technology, and people like them will not be literate, and he roughly said the name of the 11nm-level chip: Lingxiao 501.

"110nm-level SoC is already the product with the lowest threshold for SoC-level chips, why has it been developed for more than half a year, and it has not been completely taped out?" Sheng Huainan frowned.

He knows that the difficulty of high-end chip research and development, the tunneling effect, and the high cost of tape-out have greatly increased the difficulty of chip research and development, so why is it so difficult to make the simplest 110nm chip now?

"Since our company's chip R&D team has just been formed, a lot of work can only be done from scratch, and it takes time to solve problems. Although it is only a 110nm chip, a highly integrated SOC is extremely complex, and the ARM public version of the CPU we are using now is only a part of it, as well as bus, DDR, display, image processing module, video codec module, MODEM and many other modules and subsystems, these modules and subsystems, as long as some small nodes have bugs, there will be tape-out failure, so we are already very close to success... A bus manager on the side roughly added.

After listening to it, Sheng Huainan roughly understood the general reason.

In SoC design, simulation and verification are the most complex and time-consuming aspects of the SoC design process, accounting for about 50%~80% of the entire chip development cycle.

This is like building a house, the position, angle, and distance of each brick on the house will be strictly limited, and even the amount of cement applied to the brick will be accurately planned and adjusted at the CM level, and the high-specification chip of the later generations, that is, to build a house on a hair strand, is even more difficult!

Sheng Huainan nodded, now this soc chip Lingxiao, did not take the detour in the previous life, under his guidance, directly on the ARM public version, he asked Li Jingshu to call Shi Yongxin and the core team of mobile phone research and development, said, "Now that the tape-out is close to success, in order to use this soc chip as soon as possible, then we have to start the next plan!" ”

The members of the mobile phone team listened to Sheng Huainan's words, and now they were called over at a special chip meeting, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked.

In fact, they are not particularly willing to use this kind of chip without market experience, even if it is something developed by their own subsidiary.

And Zhu Shangzu likes to come from the heart, but the thoughts in their hearts are completely different.

They have always believed that this system-level chip will not be enabled immediately, but will be iterated again, and when it reaches the 65nm level, it will be used in the products of Shangsha Technology, they didn't expect it to be used so soon, so, now Lingxiao 501 chip, where will Sheng Huainan be used?

The executives of Zheku Chips looked at Sheng Huainan with blazing eyes!

Although they admit that Shangsha Technology came because of money, who doesn't want to realize the value of life here by the way?

In China, no company dares to develop its own chips, and no company dares to use its own self-developed SOC-level large chips.

Now not only does the Lingxiao 501 chip have to have customized products, but also have to embark on the positive feedback of iteration, which shows that, at least, the Zheku chip is useful for Shangsha Technology!

No boss will put up with his own business and long-term losses, even if it is a strategic product line!

Now there are so few job opportunities for chip talents, and even fewer are willing to give big money, and they don't want to see Sheng Huainan directly cut off this business line after the blood retreats, because Zheku chips have been unable to mass-produce core chips for a long time.

Therefore, all of you at the current Zheku chip also attach great importance to this meeting.

Sheng Huainan said: "The future planning of Shangsha Technology should not only be positioned in a so-called assembly plant, the SOC chip is Deyi or Qualcomm, and the screen is Sharp in the Sun Country, which is unacceptable!" More importantly, we want to develop our own core competitiveness, and I need to build Shangsha Technology into an enterprise with its own solid moat! ”
