Among all things, there are always some "decisive moments" worth remembering. The old year is over, and it is crucial for industry media to screen and take stock of these moments. It sets the tone for the year and records the current development of China's manufacturing industry.
Technologies that influence industry development are growing
2023 is the year of the rapid rise of AI. AI’s presence is unprecedentedly high. The Collins Dictionary’s word of the year is AI. No one can stop the advent of the artificial intelligence era. So, in the past year, what major events have happened in the high-tech field that have affected the development of the inductor transformer industry?
01 ChatGPT
At the end of 2022, ChatGPT was born. By 2023, ChatGPT will have gone through several iterations, greatly accelerating human development in the field of artificial intelligence.
Compared with the knowledge service model of search engine keyword structured retrieval in the Internet era, ChatGPT has shifted to natural language instructions to call knowledge in the era of large models, and has shifted from graphical interface touch interaction to natural language conversational interaction, giving birth to the era of natural language interaction. The arrival also makes human-computer interaction more natural, efficient and humane.
In the long run, ChatGPT is not only a breakthrough for the new generation of chat robots and generative AI, but will also bring disruptive changes to the digital intelligence transformation and upgrading of the AI industry and even various industries, thereby reconstructing the paradigm of industrial knowledge model construction and promoting intelligence-intensive The service industry is scaled up and market-oriented.
02 AI
Looking back on 2023, the rise of various AI tools is overwhelming. From writing and translation to the development of new materials, they are reshaping the world at an alarming rate. 2023 is an important turning point for the world to move from the Internet era to the AI metaverse. AIGC has begun to truly rise and become popular, and AI has shown amazing innovation capabilities and potential in the field of science and technology.
New technologies represented by AI are having a huge impact on production processes, production models, supply chain systems and other production and operation processes. First, the ability of AI equipment to visually inspect samples is rapidly improving, and it can detect microscopic defects in products such as circuit boards at a resolution beyond the range of human vision; second, by adjusting and improving parameters in the production process, AI has a significant impact on manufacturing. The parameters of many machines used in the production process are set to optimize the production process; the third is to improve the design and manufacturing efficiency in the manufacturing process of new products.
03 third generation semiconductor
In 2023, gallium nitride power devices have received higher attention than before and are gradually becoming the most dazzling star in the third generation of semiconductor materials.
According to Yole's forecast, the value of the GaN power device market will increase from US$126 million in 2021 to US$2.04 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of as high as 49%. It will be favored by applications such as consumer electronics, automobiles, communications, and data centers. There are plus. At the same time, a large number of manufacturers are also trying to achieve technological and production breakthroughs in GaN to seize market opportunities. Fierce competition is rapidly promoting gallium nitride to become one of the key technologies for cost reduction, efficiency improvement and sustainable green development.
As the global semiconductor industry enters a relatively long downward cycle, silicon carbide, another important third-generation semiconductor material, is a rare bright spot.
According to incomplete statistics, as of the first half of 2023, 40 silicon carbide models have entered mass production and delivery around the world, and global sales of silicon carbide models in the first half of the year exceeded 1.2 million. Judging from the 2023 version of the "Power Silicon Carbide Report" released by Yole Intelligence, the silicon carbide industry has achieved record growth in recent years, and it is expected that the global power silicon carbide device market will grow to nearly US$9 billion by 2028.
The rapid development of the new energy industry will promote the explosion of demand for third-generation semiconductor materials, and the industry will usher in good development opportunities. Third-generation semiconductor materials are widely used in core radio frequency and power devices in various fields of new infrastructure such as 5G infrastructure, new energy vehicles, charging piles, UHV and rail transit, and the industry is facing huge development opportunities.
04 superconductor
However, the desire for new materials has also caused a farce in the scientific community. In the summer of 2023, a South Korean scientific research team claimed to have discovered the LK-99 crystal, an atmospheric-pressure, room-temperature superconductor that can achieve superconductivity below 127 degrees Celsius in a normal atmospheric environment. But it was soon confirmed that the material did not have zero resistance characteristics, which was far from the expected zero resistance characteristics of "room temperature superconductivity".
Although it is a farce, scientists have never stopped exploring superconducting materials. In December 2023, scientific research teams including the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices of South China University of Technology, Central South University, and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China found clear evidence that LK-99 has a superconducting phase.
Recently, research on high-temperature superconductors at Harvard University in the United States has made important progress. Researchers have developed a new strategy to create and manipulate high-temperature superconductors, especially cuprate superconductors, which provides a new direction for the design of new superconducting materials. Relevant research results were published in the journal Science.
......
For hundreds of years, human beings have been obsessed with the research and exploration of superconducting materials. "Scenes depicted in science fiction worlds reappearing in the human world" may not be a romantic imagination in the future.
