my country's smart sensor industry will make a major breakthrough

[ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Sensors are multi-disciplinary high-tech polymers and are called "industrial crafts".
At present, sensors are developing in the direction of intelligence, miniaturization, multi-function, low power consumption, and high precision.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's smart sensor industry will achieve major breakthroughs in technological innovation and industrial scale, and the ability to innovate in design and manufacturing technology will be greatly improved.
Simulation, MEMS technology, wafer-level packaging, personalized testing, and hardware and software The integration capability will reach the * level, and the industry scale will exceed 100 billion yuan, becoming a new basic industry supporting the industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing.
To this end, China Electronics News has specially opened a column "Sensor Industry's "14th Five-Year" Outlook", inviting industry experts to take a look at the sensor industry, comprehensively combing the development status of the domestic sensor industry in terms of technology, application, and market, and for the construction of new infrastructure and the new generation The rapid development of information technology provides strong support.

 

In the digital economy system or system architecture, the "blood" that runs through or flows throughout is data.
In the entire information system consisting of perception, transmission and processing, as well as storage, feedback and execution, always transmission is also "data.
" However, as one of the core technologies of the digital economy, the industrialization of sensors is worrying.
It severely restricts and affects the function and efficiency of data collection and acquisition.
It has become a major obstacle and bottleneck that affects and restricts the development of the digital economy, and it should be taken seriously from a strategic perspective.

 

Recognition of strategic positioning
 

　　Based on the current development status and problems of my country's sensor industry, combined with the current "14th Five-Year Plan" approaching, industrial structure adjustment and manufacturing transformation and upgrading, and the impact of the digital economy after the epidemic, we will reposition it.
As a functional device for data collection, sensors are the basic core technology of information technology.

 

　　*, Information technology is composed of three technologies: perception, transmission and processing, namely: computer technology, communication technology, and sensor technology.
The hardware of the information system is composed of three major technologies plus information storage, feedback and execution, and the information transmitted in the entire system is just "data.
" If a person is regarded as a complete information system, then the information that the five senses and skin interact with the outside world is "data information", and the sensory organ is the data collection device, which is the core of data acquisition.
In reality, the corresponding physical device is the sensor product, so the sensor is also called the "electronic facial features"; 5G and other communication technologies are called the human nervous system; the computer is called the human brain, which is responsible for and undertakes data processing functions.

 

　　Therefore, the sensor should be raised to the height of the national strategy and re-understood, so that the value can return and receive the attention it deserves.
Like supporting integrated circuits and display technology, in the national strategic planning, the strategic position of sensors should be highlighted, and corresponding supporting policies (special support, tax reduction and exemption, market access) should be given continuous support to make up for industrial technology shortcomings and policies Missing.

 

　　Recognition of technology
 

　　Although sensors are a fusion of multiple disciplines, technologies, and fields, involving basic disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology, the entire industry chain process from sensitive mechanisms, process technology, structural design, finished product testing, and market applications is almost related to materials, All secondary disciplines such as mechanics, electronics, mathematics, computer software and hardware, measurement, semiconductors, etc.
are closely related.
The production process is also extremely complicated and is called "industrial handicrafts".
However, blindly pursuing the product's high precision, high reliability, and high stability index has increased the technical difficulty of the production process and the level and ability of industrialization.
The economic benefits will not go up, and the innovation results will have little effect.
Therefore, the multi-functional composite of a single device and the integrated combination of multiple devices are the trend of innovation and development of sensor technology.

 

　　The single pursuit of high-precision sensors and innovative products to achieve high-quality are often problems in the field of scientific research.
However, in the supporting market and application scenarios, reliability and stability indicators are often required, as well as the requirements for the use cost, and the requirements for a single indicator of the sensor are reflected through the overall function of the system.
Even a single sensitive component can sense two or more physical and chemical quantities at the same time; multiple different physical and chemical sensitive components are integrated and compounded on the same chip; or combined into a component (module) , Forming an intelligent module.
According to the data measurement requirements of application scenarios, combined with multi-dimensional recognition and software algorithms, it can make up for many problems caused by the single pursuit of high precision.

 

　　Therefore, while the eight major sensitive components adopt common MEMS process technology to improve the level of industrialization, it is necessary to work hard on product use functions and technical standards and specifications.
Combining multiple sensitive components, combined with software processing, combined to form a multi-dimensional test and multi-parameter fusion micro-system, to make up for the one-sided pursuit of high precision, and increase the difficulty of industrialized scale production, thereby reducing the difficulty of high-precision production and finished products The cost of testing improves the economic benefits of mass production.

 

　　Re-understanding of Industrialization Capability
 

　　At present, there are about 26,000 different types of sensors, forming a status quo of multiple varieties and small batches.
Therefore, the industry is too "scattered" and lacks specifications and standards from R&D design, functional indicators, appearance structure, and application scenarios, leading to innovation for the sake of innovation.
It not only causes waste, increases the difficulty of industrialization, but also brings more complexity to market applications.

 

　　Existing sensor companies are scattered all over the country, and it is difficult to coordinate the industrial chain; the production process is cumbersome and complicated, and the technical points are numerous; the tooling and fixtures are unique and the equipment is expensive; the scale of the enterprise is small, and it is difficult to gather and cultivate talents.
These have led to industrialization* in a situation of "embarrassment" and "helplessness".
What's more, confuse sensors with integrated circuit products, technologies, and processes, and classify them as integrated circuits, resulting in *not being inclined and supported by industrial policies.

 

　　Re-understanding of market synergy and integration
 

　　The total scale of the domestic and foreign sensor market has exceeded US$187 billion last year, and has grown at an average rate of more than 10%.
The market in some fields has shown explosive growth.
However, there are obstacles that are difficult to overcome between manufacturers and users, and their understanding of technology and the needs of each other are different, and it is difficult to find effective methods and ways to penetrate and break through.
From the perspective of users, there are unpredictable technical parameters and structural choices, which are difficult to figure out for a while, leading to the phenomenon of "unable to use" and "dare to use", and it is impossible to mention detailed content and special conditions in different scenarios.
Requirements.
From a production point of view, manufacturers are inaccurate in the market application scenario data model, the product lacks flexible design from structure to performance, it is difficult to provide personalized and accurate parameter indicators, and it is also difficult to understand what users need to use, how to use, Why do you choose this way.
From a technical point of view, the actual scenes and states are dynamic, changeable, and complex.
What parameters to take is not only considered from the perspective of site needs, but also requires the overall design of the system.
Therefore, in the data collection site, there are frequent occurrences of different opinions on sensor types, structures, and parameter selection, which can be described as "Southern cavity to north diversion" or even "southern divergence".
Difference*.
However, what type of sensor is used is crucial to the performance and intelligence of the system or device.

 

　　In addition, users have big prejudices and differences in the treatment of domestic enterprises and products.
Under the same circumstances, users often choose foreign products whose prices are much higher than those of domestic enterprises.
Especially in resource monopoly industries, in order to reduce responsibility and avoid troubles, it has formed a general phenomenon that "if you can buy foreign products, you must not use domestic products.
" In addition to the prejudice against users' domestic enterprises, sometimes harsh additional conditions, complicated procedures and processes also discourage enterprises.
Therefore, even if the domestic enterprises *track, they have failed to return, which has gradually raised the barriers to entry and industry barriers.

 

　　It can be seen that the barriers and bottlenecks between production and use have become a major obstacle to the development of industrialization.
Therefore, sensor products must not only develop in the direction of normalization, standardization, intelligence, and networking of parameter indicators, but also establish a collaborative innovation relationship between production and use, and establish mutual trust between industries and applications.
The information channel and technology research and development platform for mutual exchange and communication remove obstacles on the road for the development of sensor industrialization.

 

　　Re-understanding the needs of compound talents
 

　　Talent collaboration is the prerequisite for technological integration and the basic guarantee for industrialization.
However, the current lack of entrepreneurs or driving forces in the sensor industry and the lack of composite technical innovation and industrialization talents, especially chemical talents, make it difficult for capital to pay attention to industrial reorganization and resource integration.

 

　　Therefore, the cultivation and gathering of basic research talents, technical compound talents, industrialized engineering talents, and talents with a chemical vision is very important.
For the sensor industry, entrepreneurs with strategic acumen and marketability are the most important.

 

　　Industrialization suggestions and ideas
 

　　The sensor industry development problems are concentrated in the following: multiple varieties and small batches, large product dispersion, low industrial concentration, small enterprise scale, and lack of specialization.
This presents the following five problems: lack of people, lack of money, lack of technology, lack of market, and insufficient attention.

 

　　With the rapid development of the digital economy today, people must be aware of the prominent contradictions and problems in my country’s industrialization, and should combine my country’s structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading, the requirements of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and the epidemic, friction escalation and environmental changes.
For the specific impact of the company, do a good job of strategic positioning and top-level design, allocate corresponding resources, sort out norms and standards, etc.
In fact, it is not difficult to realize the industrialization of sensors in our country.
The industrialization of infrared thermopile sensors is a good example.

 

　　The specific suggestions are as follows: *, clarify the strategic positioning and do a good job in top-level design Take the industrialization of sensors as the core of the foundation of the digital economy, and raise it to the height of the national strategy to realize the continuous cultivation and support at different levels and stages.
Second, tap the problems in the industry to make up for shortcomings and bottlenecks.
Start with the specific problems in the industrial system and chain to solve the problems of process technology, industrialization bottlenecks, market supply and demand contradictions, the role of talents (especially entrepreneurial talents), and the optimal allocation of resources.
Third, the policies are precisely matched and the resources are continuously allocated.
Combining local industrial supporting policy resources, establish national industrialization special policies, and give preferential taxation and other aspects, and continue and guide industrialization.
Fourth, continue to evaluate the effect and adjust the implementation method in time.
Perform segmented evaluation and assessment according to the industrialization level, stage, and steps, and timely modify and adjust the implementation steps based on the real-time status to avoid economic losses and greater opportunity costs.

 

　　Based on the above suggestions, combined with the characteristics of regional industrial culture, China's "sensing valley" can be established in areas where conditions are met, and efforts will be made to build a complete industrial chain in my country to create a six-in-one "politics, industry, learning, research, application, and service" Synergy, specialization and precision "dual ecology" system.
Realize the output value of sensor basic products of 50 billion yuan, reach the goal of more than 100 billion yuan of system integration and application products, and form a sensor industry cluster with obvious industrialization characteristics.
