[Explanation] On April 22, Tsinghua University, a well-known institution of higher learning in China, announced the establishment of a new college, the Institute of Integrated Circuits, dedicated to solving China’s current "stuck neck" problem in the chip field, and at the same time, it will no longer be "stucked" in the future. ".

  [Explanation] In the morning, the inauguration ceremony of the College of Integrated Circuits was held in the main building of Tsinghua University. Chen Xu, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tsinghua University, announced the establishment of the college.

  In order to serve the country’s major strategic needs, focus on key areas of the country, and accelerate the development of our school’s integrated circuit disciplines, after discussion and approval at the 158th Standing Committee meeting of the 14th Party Committee, it was decided to establish Tsinghua University’s School of Integrated Circuits and the School of Integrated Circuits as the school entity. The teaching and research institution is affiliated to the School of Information. At the same time, the establishment of the Department of Micro-Nano Electronics is abolished.

  [Explanation] Integrated circuits are called the "heart" of electronic products, and the development of integrated circuits depends on talents.

At present, there is a serious shortage of integrated circuit talents in China, especially the lack of leading talents and compound talents, which restricts the development of China's integrated circuit industry.

  [Explanation] In this context, Tsinghua University established the School of Integrated Circuits, which was jointly established by the original Tsinghua Department of Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics and the Department of Electronic Engineering.

Tsinghua University’s first dean of the School of Integrated Circuits, Professor Wu Huaqiang of Tsinghua University said in his speech that the establishment of the School of Integrated Circuits is not simply a matter of listing, changing the name, and changing the official seal, but a change.

  In terms of talent training, the College of Integrated Circuits will improve the integrated integrated circuit talent training system through this research, connect the vertical knowledge chain from materials and equipment to chip systems, and reshape the integrated circuit curriculum system. Undergraduate training adopts academy training and large-scale training. The combined model adheres to a wide-caliber and thick foundation.

The cultivation of graduate students highlights the integration of production and education, and conducts in-depth cooperation with leading companies in various fields of the industrial chain to deliver high-level talents for the group's internal industries.

  [Explanation] According to reports, the School of Integrated Circuits of Tsinghua University plans to set up three secondary disciplines: integrated electronics science, integrated circuit design and design automation, and integrated circuit manufacturing engineering. It plans to focus on the development of integrated electronics science, integrated circuit design methodology and EDA, Integrated circuit design and application, integrated circuit devices and manufacturing technology, packaging and system integration, MEMS and microsystems, integrated circuit special equipment and integrated circuit special materials, and other disciplines, covering the entire industrial chain of integrated circuits.

  [Explanation] Qiu Yong, President of Tsinghua University, said that Tsinghua University will use the strength of the whole school, gather the wisdom of all parties, and run the College of Integrated Circuits with a high starting point, high standards and high standards.
