Development of third-generation semiconductor materials in various countries around the world

The third-generation semiconductor materials, represented by silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), zinc oxide (ZnO), diamond, aluminum nitride (AlN), etc., have wider bandgap width, higher breakdown electric field, higher thermal conductivity, higher electron saturation rate, and higher radiation resistance. These materials are mainly used in fields such as optoelectronic devices and power electronic devices, and have enormous market potential. Developed countries and regions such as Europe, America, and Japan have included silicon carbide semiconductor technology in their national strategies and invested heavily in supporting its development.

How were integrated circuit chips born

Integrated circuit chips are an important component of modern electronic technology, consisting of a large number of miniature electronic components (such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) and connecting circuits. The birth of integrated circuit chips cannot be separated from the progress of electronic technology and the development process of integrated circuits. The birth of integrated circuit chips can be traced back to the 1960s. At that time, electronic technology was developing rapidly, and people had higher requirements for the integration of electronic devices. Early integrated circuit chips used small-scale integrated circuits (SSIs), typically consisting of dozens of transistors. With the development of technology, people have begun to try large-scale integrated circuits (LSI), which can integrate thousands of transistors and have more complex functions. In the 1970s, very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI) began to emerge, capable of integrating tens of thousands of transistors.
