Zou Shichang, academician and material scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at an event recently that China's information technology needs to be further developed, not only to manufacture, but also to design by itself. "At present, many products are still imported from abroad, which is necessary to solve core competitiveness. The problem of overcoming."

In Zou Shichang's view, China's integrated circuit IC process technology is two generations worse than the international advanced level. To narrow the gap, it is necessary to make breakthroughs in core technology. “Although some progress has been made so far, such as Expo tickets, transportation cards, electronic ID cards, and TD-SCDMA technology for mobile communications... domestic chips have been widely used, but in the current communication and computer fields, Many products are also imported from abroad." Zou Shichang said that China's current integrated circuit IC process is still 0.18 microns, 0.25 microns, and the international advanced technology has reached 32 nanometers (0.032 microns), the technology has matured. At present, 80% of China's integrated circuit IC chips rely on imports, and the foreign exchange consumed in this area exceeds that of oil, becoming the largest foreign exchange consumer. He said that if China's information industry is developed in this way, "it will be restricted by various aspects. Some core technologies are difficult to transfer abroad. If they do not develop, this core technology is still in the hands of others."

Therefore, to improve the degree of informationization in China, we must improve our core technical capabilities. Zou Shichang said that inside, the integrated circuit is the heart and the software is the brain. Not only does the integrated circuit industry urgently need to design and manufacture itself, but software needs to develop accordingly, and the two must be “handed over”. He believes that the biggest advantage of independent research and development is to leave economic benefits in China. "We use mobile phones, computers, and many core things in foreign countries. China is only the value that assembly and assembly can produce. It is the low of this industrial chain. At the end, the value is very low. Once the core technology is in its own hands, the economic benefits will remain in China."
