We will make major breakthroughs in key core technologies

During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the field of smart sensing materials and devices should adhere to scientific and technological self-reliance, be driven by the needs of strategic emerging industries, major national projects, life and health security, etc., the system layout and implementation of national key research and development plans, seize new development opportunities, and occupy the high-end product market as soon as possible, so the following three aspects are proposed.

First, continue to strengthen applied basic research, establish a multidisciplinary intelligent sensor research and development system, deepen open cooperation in an all-round way, and lead innovative development through disruptive new technologies.

The preparation of intelligent sensing materials, device design and development are extremely difficult, and the design process of algorithm software is complex, so the basic research of application is very important. It is necessary to pay special attention to the research and development of two-dimensional materials, metamaterials, organic framework materials, flexible materials, especially quantum materials, and encourage exploration and research on the basic physical and chemical properties of the above-mentioned frontier materials. Recently, the University of London used the quantum properties of nitrogen vacancy defects in nanodiamonds to prepare an ultra-sensitive sensor for in vitro diagnosis, which can increase the diagnostic sensitivity of HIV by 98,000 times. The sensor is currently undergoing trials to detect the novel coronavirus. In the future, cutting-edge materials may play an important and transformative role in smart sensing technology innovation.

Intelligent sensing involves materials, information, energy, biology and other fields, with a wide range of disciplines and high technical difficulty. Taking biomedical sensing technology as an example, it integrates a number of minor disciplines in the field of microelectronics technology and biotechnology, and has an important impact on future medical development directions such as “accurate diagnosis” and “personalized drug monitoring and evaluation”. The industrial Internet not only requires smart sensors with high sensitivity, high stability, low power consumption, low cost characteristics and good robustness, but also requires a good software user interface for data intelligent analysis, near sensors and in-sensor computing to reduce time delay and enhance data security. In addition, due to the interdisciplinary complexity of intelligent sensing technology, it is necessary to strengthen standard formulation and specification design in the future. It is suggested to set up pilot science and technology projects to strengthen the deployment of intelligent sensing frontier cross-field; Establish an inter-disciplinary cooperation platform to promote the integrated development of multiple disciplines. At the same time, further strengthen the intergovernmental cooperation in science and technology, through domestic and foreign universities, enterprises and other multi-channel joint research and development of disruptive new materials, new software, new technologies and future-oriented smart sensing materials and devices, jointly promote understanding and perception innovation, with more open thinking and measures into the global smart sensor research and development and industrialization.

Second, strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, and make great efforts to break through key core technologies.

At present, the domestic material field has the “Intelligent sensing functional materials State Key Laboratory”, the device field has the “sensing technology Joint State Key Laboratory”, “Chemical biological Sensing and Metrology State Key Laboratory”, “National intelligent sensor Innovation Center” and so on, these national platforms after years of construction, have played an active role in their respective fields. It is suggested to further overall planning, focus on overcoming technical problems of high-end sensing materials and devices, build a number of open and shared R&D platforms, give full play to the role of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and carry out interdisciplinary collaborative innovation. In terms of innovation, it is necessary to focus on breakthroughs in silicon-based MEMS processing technology, MEMS and CMOS process integration technology, non-silicon modular integration technology, device level, wafer level MEMS packaging and system level testing technology; It is necessary to focus on intelligent sensor reliability design and test, simulation, signal processing, wireless communication, electronic automation design (EDA) tools, software algorithms, etc. It is necessary to develop new sensing materials, promote the deep integration of design and manufacturing processes, break through existing technology and intellectual property barriers, and occupy the commanding heights of future technology. At the same time, we should give full play to the advantages of the combination of “production, university and research”, carry out demand-oriented and market-oriented research and development of disruptive technologies, gnawing the “hard bones” of core technologies, and achieve scientific and technological self-reliance in the field of smart sensors.

The third is to give play to the role of the market mechanism, create a good ecological environment for industrial development, support the development of small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises in the field of sensing, complement the shortcomings, and expand the market.

There are many kinds of intelligent sensing materials and devices and wide application scenarios. Therefore, it is suggested that during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, we should give full play to the role of market mechanism, improve the industrial ecological environment with small and medium-sized science and technology innovation enterprises as the main body, set up government departments to provide comprehensive services for small and medium-sized enterprises, solve the problems they face in their development, and effectively play the role of small and medium-sized science and technology innovation enterprises as the main body of the market. Accelerate the creation of a market environment for independent management and fair competition of intelligent sensing materials and devices related enterprises, and improve the industrial chain, innovation chain, and capital chain. In the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and other electronic information industry developed regions to cultivate a number of smart sensor materials and devices of “high-precision and special” enterprises, to promote the development of smart sensor industry clusters.

Looking forward to the future, we believe that we have the ability to seize the strategic commanding heights of smart sensing materials, devices, systems and applications, realize the independent control of the smart sensing industry chain and supply chain, and lay a solid foundation for building a world science and technology power and promoting high-quality economic development.
