半导体研究所

Hidden within Beijing, the Institute of Semiconductors holds a pivotal role in China’s technological rise. Founded on September 6, 1960, the Institute of Semiconductors quickly became a cradle of innovation. Imagine holding the very first silicon single crystal made in mainland China. Here, at the Institute of Semiconductors, this dream became a reality. They didn’t stop there. The institute also produced the first high-purity gallium arsenide single crystal, essential for semiconductor lasers. Think about the first integrated circuit, the first MOS field effect transistor, all developed within these walls. The Institute of Semiconductors even contributed to China’s space program, creating the microwave beacon used in the country’s first artificial satellite. Beyond the complex circuits and intricate devices, the institute pioneered the development of the first solar cell and semiconductor refrigerator in mainland China. The Institute of Semiconductors’ contributions are etched into the fabric of China’s technological advancement. Their work resonates through countless industries, propelling China onto the global stage of semiconductor science and technology. Their legacy continues to shape the future of technology, not just in China, but across the world.
