“Cloud on Chip and Data Security” Forum
In the past, most chip design companies focused on local computing power. However, driven by new generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, supercomputing, and autonomous driving, chip design is becoming more and more complex, and manufacturing processes are becoming more and more advanced. , the cost has also increased, bringing considerable pressure and challenges to chip design and development.
The use of cloud computing is currently a way to solve the computing power gap faced by chip design and help small and medium-sized enterprises balance costs. Therefore, “chip on the cloud” is becoming a major trend in the chip design industry.
How to get to the cloud? What are the options? How to ensure costs? How to support the “elastic computing power” of chip design? How to ensure security in the semiconductor industry that is extremely sensitive to data?

Challenges, current status and future development trends of domestic IP applications.
“Communications and Radio Frequency Technology” Forum
In recent years, as the penetration rate of 5G continues to increase, the value and importance of radio frequency front-end chips have become increasingly prominent in mobile terminals. The domestic RF front-end industry has developed vigorously under the wave of domestic substitution and the rise of domestic terminals.
Data shows that after years of development, many outstanding companies have emerged in my country in the fields of switches, PA, WIFI FEM, filters and other subdivisions, and the global market share of RF front-end companies has reached more than 10%.
From a global perspective, the top five leading RF front-end companies have a combined market share of up to 80%, and there is still a lot of room for domestic substitution. Although there are many domestic start-ups pouring into the radio frequency track, there are still “partiality” situations.
For example, filter products are mostly concentrated in the mid- to low-end, and there is a lack of high-end products.
The materials, processes and packaging and testing technologies involved in RF front-end chips are not simple. How to achieve high-end breakthroughs in specific fields is still a big test for domestic RF companies.
With the technological advancement of 6G and WIFI7, as well as the popularization and promotion of UWB (ultra-wide) applications, future communication technology innovations will also bring new applications and new needs.
This “Communications and Radio Frequency Technology” forum mainly focuses on cutting-edge communications and radio frequency technologies, discusses the opportunities and challenges that emerging communications technologies bring to radio frequency technology, as well as the development of my country’s radio frequency front-end chip and module industry, and shares the latest application results.
