Recently, the U.S. has escalated sanctions against Huawei. A small chip can become a tool for U.S. sanctions, which makes building a "China Core" once again the greatest expectation! On the other hand, in China, chip technology is like a barrel with uneven edges. Its short board determines that China cannot realize chip autonomy. This is the dilemma facing "China Core". Recently, China's carbon-based technology has made a major breakthrough, which may end the silicon era and bring hope to build a "China Core".
Silicon Era of Integrated CircuitsAn integrated circuit is a circuit formed by making many discrete components on the same semiconductor chip. As early as 1952, Dunmer of England put forward the idea of an integrated circuit. In 1954, silicon transistor came out and became the mainstream of integrated circuit technology. Since 1959, when robert noyce, the founder of Intel and one of the founders of Silicon Valley, invented the silicon integrated circuit, the world has entered the silicon era.The core of integrated circuits is silicon, whether it is the equipment for manufacturing chips or the materials of the chips themselves. Billions of transistors made of silicon are integrated on silicon chips. It can be said that silicon (Si), as the most basic material of integrated circuits, is the cornerstone of the rapid development of human society in recent decades. As the founder of the silicon era, the United States also has an unparalleled voice in the chip industry.
