Q: China IC with integrated circuit Chinese authoritative dialogue

Real authority, not only to understand the history, understand the reality, to think about the future. After 908, 909 and other integrated circuits of major projects Chen Xingxin old man, with wise words, a clear answer to our focus on the issue of China's IC proposed seven. Small chip, is affecting many people. And the prime minister, down to the people. Of course, the industry is highly concerned about the views, even quite distinct from each other. In the end the Chinese chip? What are the problems in the development of China's chip industry? How to be objective, clear and helpful to the scientific understanding of the development of the industry? The author on these issues, China's chip industry experienced senior experts, deputy director of the Ministry of information industry, deputy director of Electronic Science and technology, CCID senior adviser, professor level senior engineer Mr. Chen Xingxin. Chen, who for ten years has been engaged in research and development and management policy of the chip industry, there is an important problem of almost all of China's chip industry and important engineering, China's chip industry is rare in the history of the witness. How about the status of Chinese chip industry?

Reporter: Recently, China's chip industry is becoming a raging like a storm, majestic and grand, the industry and the media attention the topic. A variety of views, even apparent opposition. How do you see the current status of China's chip industry?

Chief Chen Xingxin: from the perspective of historical development, now China's integrated circuit is in the stage of development in the history of the development of hitherto unknown, in the best condition. No matter how others view, I think there are three obvious signs can prove the good development trend of China's ic.

One is a. Currently engaged in semiconductor research and development and production team has reached 115 thousand people, including the number of people engaged in integrated circuit design has reached 16 thousand. This is the history of the development of China's integrated circuit has been the most popular period.

Two is rich in resources. Up to now, China has built an integrated circuit production line has 17, of which 8 inches of production line of 6, the production line of 6 inches, 5 inches of the production line of 6. And there are 11 lines under construction. It is expected that by the end of the fifteen plan, China has integrated circuit chip production line of nearly 30.

Three is the market boom. 2003, China's information industry sales revenue has reached 1 trillion and 880 billion yuan, of which the electronic equipment and systems are required to use integrated circuits, which makes China's integrated circuit market size of up to $200 billion giant. But China's own production of integrated circuits for 2 domestic market demand is less than 20%. More than 80% need to import from abroad. Therefore, from the perspective of market demand, China's IC industry is not too much, but a large market space, but also need to vigorously develop.

The integrated circuit enterprise present profit situation is still relatively good, in addition to individual enterprises due to the single product, and to the outside, some losses, but from this point of view, loss of business situation is also undergoing significant improvement.

What are the problems of IC development?

Reporter: the development of China's integrated circuit has been challenged and criticized, including external media have given different views, that there are still many problems, and uncertain, do you think what is the main problem?

Director Chen: the development of China's IC industry is thriving, causing concern is a good thing. The emergence of any new things and development can not be Everything is going smoothly. and as such, there will always be problems, need to constantly improve and perfect in development, as long as we improve and perfect after entering a new milestone. Today, we have initially established a certain scale of the integrated circuit industry system, technically speaking, is entering the international main circuit of integrated circuit operation. The problem is how to make good use of these resources, including design, production and market, to make it more effective for China's economic construction services. After the induction of the production line, the first to use it to produce our market needs of the integrated circuit, and the circuit they produce in China's electronic equipment and systems. At present, China's mobile communication mobile phone output has reached 186 million, color TV output has reached 65 million units, the annual output has reached 60 million CD player, DVD (VCD, DVD) the annual output has reached 90 million units, the production of electronic information products are among the highest in the world. They all need the support of integrated circuits, how to design and develop the circuit market needs for production, the main problem of how to make use of our products to enter the market is urgent breakthrough, is to intensify the chip design work, strengthen the application and market development work.

Strengthen the chip design work to solve the integration of design resources. We have 450 design units, 16 thousand designers, design of many products, but according to the current domestic mainstream products development efforts is not enough, the most important circuit of mainstream products in the domestic or imported into the machine. In China's integrated circuit industry can only be imported when weak, beyond reproach. But when China's IC industry into the main channel of international, will not stand idly by, to have the plan to have the step from the unit and design unit cooperation development of new products to the market need, like SPC in China, with their own products and actively participate in market competition, we should occupy the occupation of the market. With integrated circuit products to better improve the core competitiveness of the whole. A large number of design units should be in accordance with their respective directors and practical ability in a certain area of design, such as some focus on electricity
