On December 7, the Integrated Circuit College of Harbin Engineering University was officially inaugurated, marking the establishment of China’s first integrated circuit college focused on the fields of shipbuilding, marine engineering, and nuclear science. Leveraging the university’s strengths in shipbuilding, naval equipment, marine development, and nuclear energy applications, the newly founded college will concentrate on independent research and development of "marine chips." It will focus on integrated circuit applications such as marine sensors, underwater intelligent systems, multi-physical field detection, and micro-electromechanical systems. The college will conduct research in areas including "micro-nano semiconductors and optoelectronic integrated devices," "integrated circuit design technology and system-on-chip," "integrated circuit processing technology and sensors," as well as "advanced packaging and intelligent microsystem integration." Its goals include advancing breakthroughs in core technologies, fostering industry-academia collaboration, and building a high-level team of teaching and research faculty.
