As a principal, I was in charge of the affiliate project, “Research of key technology and practical scheme of high performance common CPU and the design strategies”, which was supported by the National 863 high technologies project. The research result has been used in Godson2 developing and reached the design target.

2001-2003, Key member of the important innovative project “high performance general purpose CPU developing and industrialization” of CAS and key member of the important project of National 863 high technologies project “High performance generic CPU (godson) development”. I was responsible for IC physical design team’s construct, physical design strategies, and IC design methodologies research.

Contributions: Built the Godson1 CPU’s physical design strategies, including the design methodologies, manufacturing process, packaging and testing. In the mean time to find the pattern who will cooperate my effort, the Godson is the first project in mainland to get the TSMC 0.18CMOS deep submicron silicon processing support. Right now, the Godson group has already built up long term, cooperative relationships with these partners. I’ve suggested the “high performance ASIC” design strategies for CPU development, a technology roadmap which the Godson2 and Godson3 will use. With the strategies I have pointed out, the Godson2 has reached its design target.

2002-2003, Project manager of “SoC’s architecture research” supported by ICT’s Youth fund; this project has been completed.

2001-2002, Project manager of “Very deep submicron IC design methodologies research”, which was supported by ICT’s Youth fund.
