According to Taiwan media reports, Taiwan’s “Technology Minister†Chen Liang announced that on August 15th, he will invest NT$1 billion (about 881 million U.S. dollars) per year to launch the “Semiconductor Shooting Plan†to promote smart terminals. Semiconductor process and chip system related research and development, to open up the artificial intelligence terminal technology blue ocean, accelerate the cultivation of talents and technology, and assist the semiconductor industry to maintain a leading position in the global market.
It is reported that the semiconductor shooting plan will be promoted from next year, and the target will challenge the key technology limits of smart terminals in 2022, and develop AI chips applied to various terminal devices. 2022 will be the era of true mass production of 3 nanometers, an AI technology that has really developed into mass production. If the 3 nanometer technology begins mass production, Taiwan does not have the technology of AI, and it is bound to fall behind the world.
Chen Liangji said that many well-known international hardware and software companies have invested a lot of resources in the research and development of artificial intelligence technology. Currently, they face the bottleneck of how to achieve higher computing efficiency and lower energy consumption. The artificial intelligence required for future terminal products must have low consumption. The ability to design low-voltage chips, these are still in the early stages of development, will be an opportunity for Taiwan to invest.
“Unlike the artificial intelligence of the cloud data center with powerful computing functions, the intelligent terminal AI technology must have a deep inference structure with simplified, low-power and communication RF functions, and even deep learning capabilities, while Taiwan’s strength lies in IC design. Quickly making ICs for specific purposes, there will also be demand on the application side." Chen Liangji further pointed out.
He said that it is currently locked in several parts that will assess the demand, including unmanned vehicles, AR, VR, and security requirements including hardware security. In addition, Chen Liangji said that the opportunity to apply to the general-purpose AI chip can not be abandoned, for example, such as Facebook, Apple (Apple) to push the AI ​​terminal chip, may be a general-purpose chip.
"This plan is mainly based on the semiconductor association, and listened to many suggestions from the industry. Taiwanese manufacturers such as TSMC, UMC, Yuchuang, MediaTek, Winbond, Qunlian and ASE have expressed their support. In addition to technology research and development, the future hopes to see through. Through industry-university cooperation, cultivate relevant talents." Chen Liangji added.
Earlier, Taiwan also announced a five-year, five-million-dollar construction of an artificial intelligence computing host, and a four-year, 2 billion robot base plan with a total budget of more than 10 billion Taiwan dollars.
Compared with the mainland's 120 billion yuan, the difference in investment amount is quite different.
