集成电路设计业位于集成电路产业的上游,是集成电路产业的核心基础,具有极高的技术壁垒,需要大量高端人才的投入,以及长时间的技术积累和经验沉淀。当前,集成电路设计业快速发展,规模超过千亿美元,占集成电路产业总规模的1/4以上。全球集成电路设计产业由美国高度垄断(占据最大的市场份额),中国大陆和中国台湾是最重要的参与者,并在以较快的速度前进,欧洲、日本和韩国占据较少市场份额。同时,随着摩尔定律走向经济和物理极限,集成电路设计业也面临巨大挑战,政府及产业界均在探寻多种路径来继续满足集成电路更低功耗、更低成本和更高性能的需求。集成电路设计业的研发成本以及流片成本也随着工艺尺寸的微缩呈指数级增长,中小型企业已很难进军高端集成电路产品设计领域,该产业强者更强、大者恒大的局面更加凸显。
<<Integrated circuit design industry is located in the upstream of integrated circuit industry,which is the core foundation,with high technical barriers,needs to invest a large number of high-end talents,as well as long-term technical accumulation and experience precipitation. At present,the integrated circuit design industry is developing rapidly,with a scale of over 100 billion US dollars,accounting for more than a quarter of the total scale of the integrated circuit industry. The global integrated circuit design industry is highly monopolized by the US and occupies the largest market share. China and Taiwan are the most important participants in this industry cause they are advancing at a relatively fast pace. Europe,Japan and Korea occupy a small market share. At the same time,with Moore’s Law moving towards the economic and physical limits,the design industry is also facing enormous challenges. The government and industry are exploring a variety of ways to continue to meet the needs of integrated circuit for lower power consumption,lower cost and higher performance. With the shrinkage of process size,the cost of research and development of integrated circuit design and the cost of streaming also increase exponentially. It is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the field of high-end integrated circuit product design,strong companies in this industry will be stronger,and the trend will be more obvious.
