Even though Chinese universities offer wide range of semiconductor disciplines and the salaries of enterprises are not low, the fundamental problem is still the lack of practical experience in enterprises.

[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] As the U.S.-China technology war intensifies, China's semiconductor industry is more thirsty for talents. In addition to setting up related courses in universities, it is also throwing money at high salaries to fill the talent and technology gap.

"Reuters" reported that Liu Zhongfan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that although the United States has joined forces with its allies to limit the export of chips and advanced equipment to China and restrict China's access to semiconductor resources, the most difficult problem in China at present is still the shortage of talents, according to statistics from the China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA). , The country's semiconductor industry may have a talent gap of up to 200,000 this year.

Since 2018, the annual salary of China's semiconductor industry has risen to 400,000 RMB (approximately NT$1.76 million), which has driven more students to invest in related departments. The number of students enrolled in the master's degree in chip engineering in China's top 10 universities from 2018 to 2022 has almost doubled compared with previous years Many private schools also offer short-term courses for graduates in non-related fields, but the results do not seem to be as good as expected.

Local experts and students revealed that the chip courses offered by Chinese universities are different from those in Taiwan and the United States. They rarely provide opportunities for practical operation in the industry, so it is even more difficult to solve the fundamental problem of local talent shortage.

ICwise, a Chinese research institute, pointed out that more than 60% of students studying chip engineering in Chinese universities lack corporate internship experience.

Another Chinese scholar of this major revealed that Chinese universities are more inclined to encourage professors in all fields to publish papers than to improve the practical skills of chip manufacturing process, which may not help solve the gap in China's chip talent and technology.
