When we buy mobile phones, computers or some high-tech products on the market, we will inevitably hear a word, that is, "chip", you may ask, what is a chip? What is it for? Chips are the brains of modern electronic devices, without it, such as smart phones, cars and many household appliances are like no soul, whether it is the speed of computing or the efficiency of transportation are greatly reduced, now, we are in this era, the chip is the embodiment of a country's scientific and technological strength and competitiveness, and China's current situation in this field has aroused the attention and thinking of many people

Not long ago, when ASML discussed China's lithography machine, it bluntly said: "It's far away," this sentence sparked a heated discussion, hearing these words, many people can't help but feel a little worried, is China really so backward in the field of high-end chips? In my opinion, ASML's remarks are precisely an attitude towards reality, and he is not alarmist, but through his own observation and analysis, he has sounded the alarm for us, and also triggered deeper thinking about the future of China's chip industry
We can't help but admit that there is indeed a certain gap between China and Western countries in the field of high-end chip manufacturing, ASML's point of view is not groundless, but the result of in-depth analysis, lithography machine technology has always been the core of high-end chip manufacturing, it involves optics, material science, automation control and other disciplines of intersection and combination, the manufacturing technology of lithography machine is extremely complex, not only requires ultra-high-precision optical system, but also includes extremely strict technological processes, just the manufacture of accessories requires years of accumulated experience, China is undoubtedly a late starter in this area, and although we have gradually increased our investment in this area in recent years, it is obviously extremely difficult to catch up with other countries in a short period of time

Turning around and facing such a reality, shouldn't we also find another way? Look at the low-end chip market with a large market scale, in fact, it is a big cake, we might as well set our sights on the field of low-end chips, where the demand is large, the market potential is also huge, you can find your own development space, for example, in the fields of home appliances, industrial control, automotive intelligence and other fields, most of the chips applied belong to the low-end market, in fact, China has a unique advantage in terms of resources, market or manpower, and can just show its strength in this field
Let's take a look at today's home appliance market, such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc., the launch of each new product is inseparable from the support of chips, from the intelligence of functions to the networking of equipment, chips have played a pivotal role, and in this market, most of China's enterprises occupy a pivotal position, such as Haier, Midea, Gree and other enterprises The speed and scale of enterprises are no less than any Western enterprises, and the market competition is also very fierce, therefore, the low-end chip market can not only meet the needs of domestic manufacturers, more likely to occupy a place in the international market, if China can take root in this market, will certainly give our chip industry new vitality and vitality

We must not forget innovation and cooperation in the pursuit of high-end chips, and if we want to truly break through the "stuck neck" technology, we need to strengthen investment in basic scientific research, cultivate high-end talents, and let more young people devote themselves to the research of basic science through the establishment of benign interaction between scientific research institutions and the education system, and fundamentally promote the progress of technology. Only by absorbing their strengths and making up for our shortcomings can we achieve our common development
Looking forward to the future, although China's chip industry is still facing many challenges, but our opportunities also exist, as long as we are confident, serious and pragmatic, remain optimistic in the face of challenges, adhere to independent innovation, and at the same time seek effective international cooperation, make good use of resources, mutual benefit, we can walk out of a chip development road in line with China's characteristics

In this context, each of us should realize that the chip industry is not only a part of the technology industry, but also related to the development of the country and the future of the economy
As ASML said, there are still many gaps in China's high-end chip manufacturing, but we are not helpless, the development of low-end chips, focus on basic scientific research, and strengthen international cooperation are the direction we should work towards in the future, and I hope that more people with lofty ideals can join the construction of the chip industry and contribute to China's scientific and technological progress and future together
