In the Great Hall of the People, during the annual meeting of the China Association for Science and Technology, the "Top Ten National Excellent Science and Technology Workers" award was presented. Among the recipients were Wu Hanming, a researcher at China Core, and Tan Shusen, a key figure in the Beidou satellite navigation system. Their contributions have made significant impacts on China's technological development.
Wu Hanming has dedicated over 14 years to chip research since returning to China. His work has helped narrow the gap between China’s chip manufacturing technology and that of foreign countries by six generations. Colleagues recall that when he was in love, he told his partner, “I don’t have much time to be with you—please be mentally prepared.†Wu even spent his honeymoon in the lab, emphasizing, “When I chose this field, I decided to stay committed.â€
The Beidou satellite navigation system now plays a crucial role in transportation, disaster relief, and national security. Tan Shusen, one of the top ten honorees, is the deputy chief designer of the Beidou No. 2 project and a pioneer in the development of China’s Beidou system. He contributed to both the first and second generations, enabling precise positioning across Asia-Pacific and solving critical issues related to system engineering and practical application.
A photo titled “Really Deserved: Beidou Navigation Boosts National Pride, R&D Team Honored†shows Wu Hanming and highlights his long-term dedication to the “China Core†initiative. Integrated circuits, or chips, are the heart of industrial production and a key indicator of a country’s technological strength. Despite efforts, China still faces challenges in the IC industry, with high import costs and limited core technologies.
From 2001 to 2014, the gap between China’s chip manufacturing and global standards narrowed from 10 years to 3. Wu Hanming, who worked at Intel before joining SMIC, led the development of 65/45/32 nm pre-production technology. His project on 65-45-32 nanometer processes was one of the most challenging in China’s IC history.
“We’ve reached 40nm, are testing 28nm, and working on 16nm. There’s still a three-year gap compared to the global leaders,†Wu said. Despite his achievements, he remains concerned about the industry’s future. “Closing the gap from 10 to 3 years was tough, but it will get harder as we narrow it further.â€
China’s chip industry has made progress, but issues like lack of core technologies, high financing costs, and difficulty meeting demand persist. Wu pointed out that deep-rooted problems, such as policy inefficiencies, hinder growth. The State Council has introduced measures, including a 120-billion-yuan national fund, to support sustainable development.
“A large fund will definitely make a difference,†Wu said. However, he warned that without proper policies, the impact might be limited. “Investment in chip manufacturing is huge. If we just sprinkle support on the surface, leading companies won’t get enough help.â€
Reflecting on his journey, Wu said, “From 130nm to 90nm, then 65/45/32nm, and now 28nm—each step was hard.†He emphasized the importance of passion and commitment. “Life is short, and only a few things can be done. If you find something you love, stick to it.â€
Beidou’s real-time positioning now reaches meter-level accuracy, surpassing GPS, and allows direct satellite communication. Next year, mobile phones equipped with “China Core†chips will hit the market, marking the entry of China’s self-built Beidou navigation system into consumer electronics. This is a major milestone in China’s technological independence.
