爱普特微电子董事长李炜：优化芯片产业政策，打破芯片产业传统路径依赖

Core Viewpoint - The RISC-V instruction set architecture, characterized by its open-source nature, presents significant opportunities to break the traditional path dependence in the chip industry and establish a self-controlled computing foundation [1] Group 1: Industry Insights - Shenzhen has developed a leading industrial cluster in high-performance RISC-V microcontrollers (MCUs) [3] - Current integrated circuit industry support policies primarily focus on advanced logic processes of 28nm and below, which does not align with the RISC-V chips that mainly utilize mature processes of 55nm and 40nm in strategic fields such as automotive electronics and IoT [3] - The mismatch in policy direction restricts local enterprises from breaking into high-value markets, hindering Shenzhen's strategic advantage in the open-source chip ecosystem [3] Group 2: Policy Recommendations - It is suggested to establish a special fund within the municipal industrial funds to subsidize RISC-V chip projects that adopt mature processes like 55nm and 40nm for initial engineering tape-outs [4] - Reforming the subsidy policies for IP and EDA tools is recommended to support the core toolchain of the RISC-V ecosystem, with a focus on projects using domestic or open-source RISC-V IP [4] - In consumer electronics sectors where Shenzhen has advantages, it is proposed to facilitate connections between chip design companies and terminal manufacturers to promote application demonstration projects that prioritize local RISC-V chip solutions [4]
