China News Service, February 26, Minister of Science and Technology Wang Zhigang introduced today that at present, China is already the world's largest and fastest growing integrated circuit market.
China will strengthen the innovation environment and innovation platform construction in the fields of integrated circuits, and increase the training of talents to continuously improve innovation capabilities.
On the 26th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on accelerating the construction of an innovative country and comprehensively supporting the new development pattern.
At the meeting, a reporter asked about semiconductors: How will China support the development of semiconductors during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period?
Which projects will you list as key projects?
What measures will the Chinese government take to support China’s chip R&D and manufacturing?
Wang Zhigang pointed out that the semiconductor and integrated circuit industries are important core industries in the information age, a strategic, basic, and leading industry supporting economic and social development, and a very important industry leading a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. .
Wang Zhigang said that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the development of the semiconductor industry. In July last year, the State Council promulgated the "Several Policies to Promote the High-quality Development of the Integrated Circuit Industry and the Software Industry in the New Era", which included fiscal and taxation, investment and financing, research and development, A series of policies and measures in import and export, talents, intellectual property rights, market applications, and international cooperation.
Wang Zhigang said that the semiconductor industry is a globalized industry. The Chinese government has always adhered to the principles of open development and win-win cooperation, making full use of global resources, continuing to promote technological innovation, and jointly promoting the development of the global integrated circuit industry.
Wang Zhigang said that China is now the world's largest integrated circuit market with the fastest growth rate.
"Of course we hope that this globalization and cooperation will continue." But at the same time, China will also rely on itself, strengthen independent innovation, continue to strengthen technological innovation in integrated circuits-related fields, and enhance technological innovation capabilities and industrial development. Quality and autonomy.
Wang Zhigang introduced that in terms of scientific and technological research and development, the Ministry of Science and Technology mainly focuses on some key core technologies and cutting-edge basic research in the fields of integrated circuits, software, high-end chips, and new-generation semiconductor technologies, and uses national key research and development plans to provide support; give full play to the main body of enterprise innovation Position, promote the in-depth integration of production, education and research; strengthen the innovation environment and innovation platform construction in the fields of integrated circuits, and increase talent training to continuously improve innovation capabilities.
In addition, the reporter also asked: The US government has blocked business contacts between some Chinese companies and US chip suppliers, and some scientific cooperation between Chinese and US universities is also facing scrutiny.
What plans does the Ministry of Science and Technology have to solve these problems?
Including actions taken by the US on semiconductors and scientific research cooperation.
"The cooperation between China and the United States now has some problems. This is not what we want to see. We still hope to continue to promote international scientific and technological cooperation in the semiconductor field." Wang Zhigang pointed out that the Ministry of Science and Technology emphasizes the deepening of international cooperation in the fields of integrated circuits and software. To create a good environment for international companies to invest and develop in China, and at the same time encourage Chinese and foreign business circles to strengthen cooperation.
At the same time, in the course of cooperation, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, strictly implement the intellectual property rights protection system for integrated circuits and software, increase punishment for violations of intellectual property rights, and vigorously develop intellectual property services related to integrated circuits and software.
"In short, the integrated circuit industry is an important foundation for the high-quality development of China's economy, and it must be the focus of China's R&D, including scientific and technological work," said Wang Zhigang.
Wang Zhigang said that in the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology is willing to actively promote international scientific and technological cooperation among enterprises, universities, research institutions and other innovative entities on the basis of mutual benefit, so as to enhance the technological innovation capabilities in the field of integrated circuits, and at the same time, it will further strengthen China My own independent research and development capabilities in this area hope to have more results, not only to provide services for China's information industry and information applications, but also to provide support and services for the development of the global integrated circuit industry.
