The semiconductor industry is mainly used in various high-tech products, including computers, hard disks, optical drives, mobile phones and other products. The semiconductor industry can make products smaller and smaller, with lower power consumption and lower service life. But it's getting longer. The emergence of smart phones represents a high degree of integration of material technology, semiconductor technology and electronic technology. Let's talk about Huawei's latest mate20 pro mobile phone. It has the most advanced technology in semiconductor technology. It only has a 7-nanometer processing chip, which drives a 40-megapixel, triple-camera, and 4200mAh battery.
The thickness of the entire mobile phone is only 8.6 mm, it can continue to talk for 30 hours, and the standby time is as high as 15 days. Huawei's Kirin chip 980 is the top water semiconductor can currently achieve. Using the seven-nanometer process technology, in a small chip, 6.9 billion transistors are integrated. Not only that, in order to de-mechanize more products and increase their intelligence, semiconductors are becoming more and more important. Let's talk about automobiles, engine batteries, controllers and other components, using semiconductor technology to make volume. It is getting smaller and smaller, and AI chips are gradually becoming more important to cars. It can be seen that the chip industry is the top priority of all smart products.
Comparing the semiconductor business of China and the United States, you will find that China is not much worse than the United States. Although the semiconductor industry originated from the United States, the advantages of the United States in various aspects are not so great. Let's take a look. First of all, the semiconductor industry is divided into several modules, namely materials, equipment, processing and manufacturing, chip design and other links. The material for making chips is called silicon wafer, and its purity needs to reach 99.9999999% (seven nines after the decimal point) before Yes, Japan occupies 50% of the market, followed by China Taiwan, Germany and other countries, the United States has no advantage.
