November 24, 2016, "2016 China IC Industry Promotion Conference" held in Beijing, IC coffee founder Hu Yunwang on China's IC lack of talent to do the analysis. Integrated circuits such an important industry, related to China's industrial upgrading and transformation of the future, but the entire industry personnel training, from colleges and universities to enterprises, there are a variety of very obvious drawbacks, talent is not happy, how business enterprises, how the industry? Although the state has the determination, there are inputs, the means of promoting the industry can be used to describe the thunderbolt, but the level of the country is not rich enough, in the transmission to the various ends of the industry, there have been a variety of distortions, such as semiconductor materials, chip manufacturing these core The key positions of technology or lack of attractiveness. Industrial policy how to become the industry development of the spring rain, is a question worth pondering.

      The following is the surging news of Hu Yu-wang speech finishing:

      IC industry is the focus of national key industry, but also China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading of an important starting point. So the training of all aspects of integrated circuits has been very seriously, colleges and universities have accumulated a lot of outstanding professional graduates of the integrated circuit, but in reality, companies still can not recruit the right people, and the lack of talent is all-round, low-end Lack of missing, high-end missing. Why is this situation?

First look at junior talent. Here need to emphasize a little common sense: not only microelectronics professional to microelectronics industry. The semiconductor industry is mainly the design, manufacture, packaging and testing of these links. To 51job data, the domestic large-scale semiconductor design business Spreadtrum required talent, microelectronics professional accounted for only 6%. To a large IC manufacturing enterprises recruitment information, microelectronics professional graduates accounted for only 10% -20% of the number of employees. The rest of the jobs require electronics, communications, physics, chemistry, materials, electromechanical and other professional graduates, because the process engineers need chemical and materials and other professional personnel; equipment engineers need mechanical, mechanical and electrical, automation professional talent. Chip design company, especially the scale of the chip design company, need to do the program, hardware and software system development engineers than the IC design to more. Analog chip products companies such talent than microelectronics talent needs more than 2 times, digital chip products company will be 4 to 7 times. Overall, the integrated circuit required talent is mainly electronics, communications and computer professional graduates.

      Many of these integrated circuits, many domestic colleges and universities are set up, many outstanding graduates, but few of them understand the integrated circuit, and semiconductor companies need is precisely this cross-border talent. Therefore, China's IC industry, the junior talent is not very scarce, why there is a mismatch of resources? The main reason is that colleges and universities do not understand the IC industry needs. These years I went to college to do IC industry and career development seminars about 150 games, more than half of the cases, the teacher only informed the microelectronics professional students to listen to lectures, I mobilize teachers to other electronics related professional students to listen, but they generally do not Agree not to notice.

      On the one hand, colleges and universities to understand the lack of industry, teaching materials from reality, the curriculum from the actual combat, graduates have no actual combat capability; but on the other hand senior industry talent can not be introduced to the school. A Huawei senior hardware product director thought of college teachers, but because he is not a doctor, there is no paper, was rejected. Dumbfounding is that his subordinates, without exception, with a bunch of key university graduates, and he was not qualified to enter the university to teach; there is a returnees, nearly 20 years of experience in the top semiconductor The company device as director, but also because the paper is not enough to enter the university; there is one, in 1983 received a master's degree in the United States, has been doing chip design in Silicon Valley, the company positions for the CTO, want to enter a three categories of undergraduate school teachers have also been rejected. If the science profession requires the paper to understand, but the engineering evaluation system of engineering colleges and universities only rely on the paper, how to meet the development of industry? Integrated circuit industry is precisely very practical industry, from the perspective of industrial practice, enterprise talent leading institutions for many years. So how to make the industry veteran back to college is a major proposition. Zhejiang University Professor Yan Xiaolang that should be set up demonstration microelectronics Institute, to encourage teachers to the enterprise "hanging exercise" to attract industry experts to teach in colleges and universities, for enterprises to cultivate the use of junior talent.

      Junior talent shortage, the semiconductor industry, the shortage of senior personnel, really make people railing.

      We all say that the semiconductor industry is the lifeblood, so close to the lifeline is the basis of innovative talent, and these talent is precisely the most scarce. Such as device research, new technology and special process development and semiconductor materials research and development and other aspects of senior personnel. We have no real attention to such talent.

Once, seven Shanghai Jiaotong University MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) professional graduate students find me talk, they can not find counterparts, began to collectively suspect that MEMS is not no future. Originally this is a very promising career direction, if there is no MEMS, there is no sensor, then how to feel all things, to collect data? Mobile phones, cars and so extensive use of sensors, but these people can not find a suitable job. Professor Zhang Bo, a former professor of electronic technology in Xi'an, also said that because of the salary problem, his device and craft graduate did not go to a FAB (wafer foundry) factory. This people can not understand, FAB factory at every turn to invest billions of dollars, are several core innovation positions, salary can not be slightly raised a little? FAB is a bit special, only the giants can do, the salary can not be resolved by market competition.

      While the semiconductor materials professional students, employment is difficult, low salary is normal. This situation, they have to change the professional direction, to learn the chip design or change the other professional. But every time the Japanese earthquake, we began to worry about the supply of semiconductors in Japan, we common news is that mobile phone companies worried that the camera chip can not supply. In fact, people in the industry, the most worried about the supply of more than 10 kinds of semiconductor materials in Japan, if a certain cut off, all the FAB packaging and testing plant, all the electronics factory, are suspended. 19 kinds of semiconductor materials, of which there are 14 key, Japan accounted for a monopoly position, and as a basic industry materials, graduates, not only low wages, even employment is difficult, how to achieve catch up? No talent, the state invested heavily The production of packaging and testing factories, how to upgrade their own R & D and production level?

      In addition to the above disadvantages of these training systems, we have the following industries led to the lack of talent.

      First, the chip product definition of senior talent shortage. We can not simply copy the copy of other people's products, the Chinese company's ability to imitate a strong, low cost is also very strong. But can deeply understand the needs of the machine, can analyze the future development trend of the machine, the development of competitors, but also with the company's technical strength, innovative to define the chip's strategic talent too little. So most of the domestic products of the same, had to fight the price war, have lived very difficult.

      Second, the chip product line management of senior talent shortage. Chip company is the most common problem is the extension, the main reason is a chip from the market research began to the product market, many links, each link on the technical and experience requirements are high, the whole link into a harmonious line, to It is very difficult and complicated to ensure that the direction, quality, cost, and duration of the plan are very complicated. Therefore, too many companies' products are continually delayed, so that they have missed the best time window of the product. And Europe and the United States almost do not train foreigners to do such jobs, so this talent is scarce.

      Third, the chip company's quality control senior talent shortage. As the huge cottage market, most of the domestic chip companies to understand the quality and attention is not enough. Now the cottage market gradually shrinking, consumers are beginning to attach importance to "user experience", the chip enterprise quality management is particularly important, especially want to enter the high-end machine business. Attention to the quality of talent, is the future of chip design enterprises can rise and survive the minimum requirements.

      Fourth, the chip company senior management talent and CEO lack. As the chip technology threshold is too high, too many links, many senior engineers can only master one or two technical or even one or two links, if they promoted to the CEO position, there are a lot of knowledge of the short board. Especially the technical background of the boss, how to manage the company, most of the experience is very lacking, lack of basic theory and system management knowledge.

      Five is the management of multinational team of senior talent shortage. With the cross-border mergers and acquisitions and some large domestic enterprises to set up R & D center overseas, the need for the Chinese team as the main force to manage a large number of foreign employees may be overseas team, so if the lack of modern management, global vision, will lead to Efficiency and cultural opposition. And reality is precisely China's lack of both management skills and global vision of senior management personnel and business leaders.

Six is the lack of proficiency in IC industry law and rich industrial resources of the early investors. Investors are willing to vote chips, although far more than the Internet investors, but there are some, but most do not vote for the early (angels and PreA) most of them only look after A round. Proficient in the IC industry laws and rich industry resources, the early investors would have been very little, now due to the national big fund, now have to engage in mergers and acquisitions, and early projects even more time no energy to see. So we need real early funds, and I hope to serve and connect a number of early projects and funds.

      In fact, the mismatch of talent, the root cause of our IC industry is the long-standing ills, distorting the market.

One of the ills is that our IC industry chain is not complete. Our IC industry chain includes EDA (electronic automation design), IP (patent), chip design services, chip design, chip manufacturing, chip packaging and testing, semiconductor equipment, semiconductor materials. This chain can only chip design and production, but the chip can not directly into the money, the need for machine manufacturers recognized, but also to complete the final step sales. Therefore, the real supply and demand, is the chip design company and machine manufacturers. China's vast majority of chip design companies are small and medium mini, their market channels are limited, sales force is not enough, with the power of chip agents. However, a variety of integrated circuit policy, integrated circuit organization, integrated circuit conference, basically ignoring the whole machine factory and agency plant, "take the initiative" to isolate the channels and customers. So we need to lengthen the industrial chain, the need to customers and channels in a chain, from the heart to identify their partner status, respect for customers, respect for channels.

      Second, the painting for the prison of the ecological. Around the high-tech park and the relevant science and technology sector, in order to better serve the local enterprises, are actively building a local science and technology industry ecology, but are limited to the park or local. This looks like nothing wrong, service the park or the city is where they are responsible. And the closure of the working environment is not terrible, the most terrible is the chip business operators, managers closed inside. Tsinghua's Professor Wei Shaojun called on everyone not to limit themselves to the world, to seek the global market, talent, technology and various partners. Any chip-based high-tech companies need to seek support from global, national talent, technology, markets, and capital, and need to find upstream suppliers, midstream partners and downstream customers from around the world and globally. If the Shanghai enterprises, only stroked the Shanghai talent, only the Shanghai enterprises to provide EDA, only in Shanghai Fumo IC packaging and testing, the chip is only sold to Shanghai mobile phone customers, do not ask can grow up, can not live a problem. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry put forward "to build China's core ecological system", we need a good ecological system.

      Third, the industrial masses and small and medium companies are ignored. We all care about high-end and core, want to do high-end and core things. However, high-end and core, only a special company to do, either very rich, or very technical. Most of the chip practitioners can not do these two areas. The state caught high-end, grasp the core right, but a variety of industrial policy in the local landing, it should cover a broader and appropriate. At present, large funds and local funds, the relevant departments, are staring at state-owned enterprises and has been large enterprises, although it is involved in national security industry layout, but China has more than 1,000 chip companies, 90% of small and medium enterprises, On the need for thousands of chip types and models, especially innovative products, often produced in the small micro-company, because they do not have the burden, nor retreat, they are more desperate, but also more willing to break through. Therefore, they are the main force to support the prosperity of the industry, is the basic technology research and development and technological innovation of the main. Even for the sake of large enterprises, these small business development, only enough for large enterprises mergers and acquisitions of the subject. So they are China and Europe and the United States and Japan and South Korea compete for the fundamental. If you let them fend for themselves, relying on high-end and core, only state-owned enterprises and large companies, can cover the needs of the industry how much? These neglected mass companies need support from the upstream and downstream industries.
