Curve overtaking, this word in recent years in the science and technology industry, especially in various enterprises and media reports the most common, of course, there are some experts in many meetings also often come up with a few similar “golden sentences”.

8327-1600 In fact, the concept of corner overtaking is not casual, and there are not so many tracks for domestic companies to accelerate overtaking. “Catching up” is a better word for the tech industry right now.

Although SMIC’s N+1 process has been successful, the domestic chip industry has been making strides to catch up with leading enterprises such as TSMC and Samsung, but the actual gap is well known. Even if the existence of Moore’s Law limits the ceiling of the development of existing chips, the reality must ultimately be recognized is that the top technology has indeed slowed down, but the latecomers are still in a state of catch-up. For example, although SMIC’s N+1 process does not require a 8327-1600 lithography machine, N+2 and other processes still cannot avoid the use of high-end lithography machines.

The same as the semiconductor industry sensor is also the case, there are views that in the field of smart sensors, there are opportunities for overtaking corners in the country, and in fact, does it really exist or can create a new track?

8327-1600

After abandoning the main track, the domestic sensor officially limped

8327-1600 Domestic in the 1960s began to develop sensors, until the early 1990s, domestic sensors have been in a state of rapid catch-up, although there is a gap with foreign countries, but also achieved certain results.

However, in the 1980s, the research and drafting of relevant policies on the topic of “Information technology development policy” under the auspices of the State Science and Technology Commission, in the classification of information technology, sensor technology was left out of computers, integrated circuits, communication technology and software. The reason is also very simple, until today, sensors in the semiconductor market share has not been significantly increased, only 5%, which is why sensor technology was shut out of the list of information technology priorities.

Then things are not so simple, in the early 1990s, that is, after 30 8327-1600 years of considerable progress in domestic sensors, the national instrumentation department was abolished, which is also the development of the basic domestic sensor industry into a stage of industrial dependency.

From the early 1990s to today, after 30 years of development of sensors, most of the market share of domestic sensors has been occupied by foreign capital. The following phenomenon and figures appear most frequently in the sensor industry, and it is also a recognized status quo in the industry: Most of the domestic sensor manufacturers produce low-end sensors, and the proportion of high-end sensor imports is more than 80%.

Even, according to the sensor National Engineering Research Center “China Sensor Development Blue Book” data show that the proportion of imports of automotive sensors, high-end chemical gas sensors, fiber optic sensors and other products is 95%, while Marine sensors are all dependent on imports.

From a policy point of view, sensors that have a place in information technology become “abandoned”, and this track is denied.
