Did you know? The high-end chips that can integrate billions of transistors rely entirely on EDA (Electronic Design Automation) technology to support them—without EDA tools, designers would take decades to manually draw layouts, while using EDA can complete the task in just a few days. This overview of integrated circuit EDA design explains the “past … Read more
In 2025, the wave of AI continues to sweep across the globe, with computing power becoming the oil of the new era, and the competition for computing power is rewriting the entire semiconductor landscape.Among them, NVIDIA, with its GPUs, has almost monopolized the AI training field, occupying over 90% of the market share, with a … Read more
The semiconductor industry has been one of the best developing sectors in the country in recent years. To avoid being constrained by the United States, the government has guided a significant amount of investment into this industry, and the salaries of professionals have also risen sharply. Today, let’s take a look at which majors can … Read more
Based on the Chip Learning framework proposed by Academician Chen Yunji and the technical positioning of Zhonghao Xinying, combined with an analysis of the current industry situation, Zhonghao Xinying has the potential to explore chip learning, but it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the entire process in the short term. The following is … Read more
In fact, ARM started from a very low point. When it was first established, Apple was its major shareholder. At that time, it managed to secure a deal with the leading chip manufacturer, Texas Instruments (TI), which gradually allowed it to enter the chip design field.. Although it seems that its chip shipment volume is … Read more
Analysis of China’s Semiconductor Industry Financial Reports for Q3 2025 Abstract In the third quarter of 2025, China’s semiconductor industry delivered an impressive performance. Jiangbolong’s net profit increased nearly 20 times year-on-year, Changdian Technology’s revenue surpassed 10 billion yuan for the first time, and Allwinner Technology’s net profit grew by 267.36%. This recovery is not … Read more
01 Overview of the Industry Chain Storage chips, as a core branch of the semiconductor industry, are key carriers for digital information storage and processing, integral to the operation of various electronic systems. The industry chain is mainly divided into three major segments: upstream support, midstream manufacturing, and downstream applications, each with its unique technical … Read more
The global market size has surpassed $630 billion, with a localization rate of less than 15%. China’s semiconductor industry is accelerating its transition from “catching up” to “parallel development”. When we use smartphones, drive new energy vehicles, or utilize AI services, we are reliant on a tiny component—the chip. As the cornerstone of the digital … Read more
As digital IC engineers, we all know that the tape-out process in chip design is both an exciting and stressful phase — the tape-out itself. Today, let’s discuss the two main options available during tape-out:MPW and Full Mask. This is not just a technical choice, but a strategic decision. What are the differences between these … Read more
The storage chip industry chain follows the progressive conduction logic of “basic support → core manufacturing → product landing → ecological services,” with 15 companies categorized by upstream basic layer, midstream manufacturing and design layer, and downstream application and supporting layer. Each link independently carries core functions of the industry chain while forming an efficient … Read more
