Another top Chinese scientist returning to China to help his motherland.

Another top Chinese scientist returning to China to help his motherland. 又一位頂尖中國科學家返國報效祖國.

出身中國的半導體奇才「大波」（Da Bo），已離開日本物質材料研究機構（NIMS），返回中國。他的研究對台積電（TSMC）在日本建置的3奈米晶片生產線具有關鍵支撐作用。

他是中國科學技術大學（USTC）校友，曾成為NIMS史上最年輕的獨立首席研究員，也是2022年後少數能深度參與國際前沿半導體項目的中國研究者。他的工作包括主導與科林研發（Lam Research）合作、應用於台積電3奈米產線的技術；他在日本的研究也橫掃多項大獎。

如今大波已返回中國，加入中國科學技術大學擔任講座教授，希望協助國家縮小技術差距。他也致力於推動中國半導體設備、材料與零組件達到國際水準。

Da Bo, a Chinese-born semiconductor prodigy, has returned to China, leaving his role at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). His research was instrumental in underpinning TSMC’s 3-nanometer chip production line in Japan.

He is a USTC graduate who became the youngest independent principal investigator in NIMS’s history and one of the few Chinese researchers deeply involved in frontline international semiconductor projects after 2022. His work included leading a joint project with Lam Research on technologies applied to TSMC’s 3nm line, and he also swept top awards in Japan for his research.

Da Bo has now returned to China to join the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) as a chair professor, hoping to help the country narrow the technology gap. He also aims to bring Chinese semiconductor equipment, materials, and components up to global standards.
