Recently, the media learned from the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips that a Chinese scientific research team has successfully developed the first-generation commercial-grade semiconductor quantum chip circuit carrier. This board can support the packaging and testing requirements of 6-bit semiconductor quantum chips at most, so that semiconductor quantum chips can interact with other key core components of quantum computers more efficiently, and will give full play to the powerful performance of semiconductor quantum chips. According to the data, the quantum chip carrier board is an indispensable part of the quantum chip package. It can provide basic support and signal connection for the semiconductor quantum chip. The circuits and devices integrated on it can effectively improve the signal-to-noise reading of the qubit signal. Ratio and readout fidelity to ensure stable operation of the quantum chip. However, quantum chip carrier boards require large capital investment, high technical barriers, and difficult research and development. At present, only a Danish quantum computing hardware company can produce semiconductor quantum chip carrier boards. Jia Zhilong, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips, said, "The development of this semiconductor quantum chip circuit carrier can greatly save my country's R&D and production costs in the semiconductor quantum computing technology route, and also marks the entry of my country's semiconductor quantum computing chip packaging technology A whole new stage."

According to Bloomberg News, in order to ensure the supply of key components, the German government plans to allocate 20 billion euros to support the semiconductor manufacturing industry, hoping to support the country's technology industry as global geopolitical tensions intensify. The money will be allocated to German and international companies until 2027 and will be drawn from the Climate and Transformation Fund, the report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying. Looking specifically at the allocation of 20 billion euros, the German government has agreed to provide Intel's German factory with a subsidy of 10 billion euros, which is equivalent to one-third of the total investment in the new factory, and will provide TSMC with about 5 billion euros in subsidies for the construction of the new factory , which is equivalent to half of the total investment in the factory. As for Infineon, it is expected to receive a subsidy of 1 billion euros, accounting for about 20% of the total investment in the new factory. As for the remaining 5 billion euros, it is estimated that Infineon and Bosch may be potential beneficiaries. Reposted from: International Electronic Commerce, automatically translated by Google

Huai Jinpeng pointed out that the Ministry of Education will cultivate a number of major scientific and technological projects centering on strategic, basic and leading industries such as integrated circuits, industrial motherboards, instruments and meters, and biomedicine, and concentrate efforts on scientific research. Huai Jinpeng said that in response to national urgent needs and major national strategies, we will promote cooperation with relevant national departments to further solve the problem of "stuck neck" in core technologies. At present, integrated circuits, as the foundation and core of the modern information technology industry, are widely used in various electronic products. They are an indispensable part of the information age and have become a strategic, basic, and leading industry for national economic and social development. Although with policy support and market development, China's integrated circuit industry has accumulated a certain industrial foundation and advantages, but some "stuck neck" technologies are still subject to others. The fundamental reason is that the problem of talents has become one of the key factors restricting the development of my country's semiconductor industry. In order to alleviate the shortage of talents in my country's integrated circuit industry, the exemplary microelectronics college has become an important mechanism for the cultivation of integrated circuit talents in my country. The data shows that from 2015 to 2018, the number of students enrolled in the national "26+1" demonstration microelectronics colleges has risen steadily, and stable output can basically be achieved. However, for now, there is still room for optimization of high-level and innovative high-level talents in the semiconductor field in my country. To this end, in recent years, many well-known colleges and universities in my country have successively established integrated circuit colleges to train high-quality and sophisticated talents in the semiconductor industry, including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Guangdong Industrial University, etc. At present, all major universities and enterprises are strengthening cooperation with each other. For example, Guangdong University of Technology has successively established joint innovation laboratories with Huawei, Allwinner Technology, Cansemi Semiconductor, and five electronics institutes of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; University of Science and Technology of China and Hefei University of Technology Sign a joint training agreement to jointly cultivate high-level chip talents. It is worth mentioning that, in response to the urgent needs of the country and the "stuck neck" of major national strategic core technologies, the Ministry of Education proposed to overcome a number of key core technologies urgently needed by the national strategy in the key core technology fields, and effectively improve the industrial chain, supply chain resilience and Competitiveness, a group of high-level research universities have become talent centers and innovation highlands with world influence, and become the core force supporting a strong education, science and technology, and talent power.
