On June 28-29, 2024, the 8th Jiwei Semiconductor Conference was held in Xiamen International Conference Center Hotel. With the theme of "Crossing Boundaries and New Quality Future", the conference brought together many well-known experts and industry leaders in the semiconductor field at home and abroad, as well as multiple industrial circles such as government, industry, academia, research, application, and investment, to discuss the development trend and technological innovation of the semiconductor industry, and create an excellent exchange platform for integrating high-end industry insights, capital and resources.

At the main forum held on the morning of the 29th, Xu Hongxing, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the Henan Academy of Sciences, delivered a speech. He first said that the Jiwei Semiconductor Conference is a conference that gathers a group of energetic, energetic, and professional talents and teams with family and country feelings and international vision. "We can learn from each other here, learn from each other, and communicate with each other, which is really making every effort to contribute to China's semiconductor integrated circuit industry."

"The Jiwei Semiconductor Conference was indeed held very successfully, and it also had a significant impact on the development of the semiconductor industry." Academician Xu Hongxing mentioned that judging from the experience of previous conferences, for example, when the 2021 Jiwei Semiconductor Conference was held, it was inevitable that there would be some sense of urgency and confusion in the industry under the background of the relatively bad international situation caused by the United States' promotion of decoupling and chain breaking with China. "This is because we do have a lot of deficiencies and loopholes in the industrial chain. In this regard, I made a presentation at the conference that year in the hope of boosting everyone's confidence. Based on China's huge market, the wisdom of the Chinese people and the existing foundation, we will gradually overcome these difficulties. ”

"At the same time, we are also actively planning, inviting the deans of the School of Microelectronics of many universities to discuss domestic basic scientific research, materials, equipment, processes and talents, etc., and focus on related research and development and the integrated development of industry, education and research from all aspects." Academician Xu Hongxing said that after several years of efforts, China has gradually gotten rid of the predicament, and at the same time, the downward cycle of superimposed semiconductors has ended and entered the recovery stage.

Academician Xu Hongxing believes that the application scope and boundaries of integrated circuits are very wide, including the "new three" and other market innovation applications are also very influential in the world. Therefore, by attacking from multiple channels, we can push the boundaries of integrated circuit applications in all areas, including smart devices such as photovoltaics, automobiles, batteries, detectors and sensors, as well as emerging fields such as quantum chips and artificial intelligence. Nowadays, with the development of social economy, the depth and breadth of the application range of integrated circuits are constantly expanding, and the spring of development has ushered in an exponential growth trend.

In the first quarter of 2024, the trend of China's semiconductor industry is improving, which can be described as the "prophet of Chunjiang plumbing duck". Academician Xu Hongxing said, "After these years of catching up, China's semiconductor integrated circuits have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the strength has been significantly enhanced, but there are still some obvious deficiencies and shortcomings. Now, we should plan for the future more calmly, including thinking and discussing how to catch up, how to surpass, how to lead, and achieve greater development or even transcendence in a certain period of time. ”

At present, the state is also vigorously promoting the development of the integrated circuit industry. Academician Xu Hongxing said that we should actively respond to the call of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the National Science and Technology Conference, the National Science and Technology Award Conference and the Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences held on June 24 to build a strong country in science and technology by 2035, and to have "strong basic research and original innovation capabilities, strong key core technology research capabilities, strong international influence and leadership, and strong high-level scientific and technological talent training and agglomeration capabilities".

Academician Xu Hongxing further pointed out that this is a clear signal that the country will use a new national system to support the development of the integrated circuit industry, which is a strong benefit to the domestic semiconductor industry. Of course, this is also a call for scientists, entrepreneurs and financial workers engaged in the semiconductor industry to jointly discuss how to promote the mainland semiconductor industry to meet the standards of the world's scientific and technological powers within 11 years, that is, the integrated circuit industry can reach the international leading or even leading level.

"At the same time, we also hope that through our active planning, mutual cooperation, and joint research of industry, university and research, we can truly promote the development foundation, comprehensive ability and international influence of semiconductor integrated circuits in the mainland." Academician Xu Hongxing said, "This Jiwei Semiconductor Conference is at the right time, and we can all seek the future of China's semiconductor industry development through various in-depth exchanges, discussions and cooperation."
