TOKYO -- China has submitted the most research papers accepted at a prestigious international academic conference focused on semiconductors, underscoring the country's growing presence in the field and bumping the U.S. into second place.

This is the first time China has taken the top spot in papers accepted by the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), which is considered the Olympics of the semiconductor sector. The annual event opens in February in San Francisco.

Universities and companies in China -- including Hong Kong and Macao -- submitted 59 papers, or 29.8% of all 198 research documents accepted by the ISSCC for the 2023 event. At the previous conference held this February, 29 papers from China were accepted, or 14.5% of the total.

The ISSCC accepted 40 papers from the U.S., dropping the country from first place this year to second. The U.S. share of all papers shrank to 20.2% from 35%.

South Korea ranked third and Taiwan fourth, while Japan and the Netherlands tied for fifth.

Universities in greater China are driving research into semiconductors. The University of Macau had 15 papers accepted, while Beijing's Tsinghua University and Peking University produced 13 and six papers, respectively.

But among corporations, Samsung Electronics led the way with eight papers, followed by Intel with six. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract chipmaker, submitted only two papers accepted by the ISSCC.

Shame on us....Of course they have never gone from 0 to 10...they survive on stolen info.

[Colorado Doug]

Yeah but they can’t touch us with regard to gender confused kids pumped out by our institutions of higher “learning””

[fretzer]

>they survive on stolen info.

That and they bust their asses. I would gander a guess that virtually all of the STEM graduate programs in the US have Chinese nationals attending. Once they have their PhD, it’s back to the mainland.

[skeeter]

All those Chinese papers were mailed from US addresses, I’d wager.

Quantity? But what about quality?

[central_va]

We either put a tariff on all imported micro chips, chipsets and consumer electronics or become China’s bitch. Well?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Thanks free traitors.

[Cathi]

Well, according to the Chinese, we are #1 in this “achievement.” Wow, just wow.

Goes back earlier then that .. try being pumped out of the K12 system!

[Colorado Doug]

Good point. They start young.

Majority of my graduate physics/EE classes were foreign students. Mixture of Middle Eastern & Chinese - of that mixture most of them were Chinese. That was almost 40 years ago. My daughter who finished her Chemistry PhD said her classes were all Chinese with one exception - a Zimbabwean.
