General Manager Song Shiqiang Honored as Distinguished Lecturer by the Chinese Institute of Electronics

Recently, Mr. Song Shiqiang has once again been honored by being appointed as a guest lecturer by the China Electronics Association. His term spans from June 2024 to June 2026, reflecting the nation’s and society’s high recognition and affirmation of Mr. Song Shiqiang personally, as well as the contributions of Slkor and Kinghelm to the semiconductor industry. General Manager Song Shiqiang of Slkor and Kinghelm stated, “Innovation, boldness, and perseverance have fostered the economic miracle of Shenzhen and the wealth myth of Huaqiangbei, which continue to drive our sustained development!” In the virtual space of the internet, Slkor Semiconductor and Kinghelm Electronics are also constructing an industrial ecosystem to solidify foundations for product research and technological innovation. Mr. Song Shiqiang is the founder and general manager of both Slkor Semiconductor and Kinghelm Electronics, both national high-tech enterprises. He is also a cultural scholar, the first to conduct in-depth research on the “Huaqiangbei spirit” and summarize the “Huaqiangbei culture,” as well as a researcher at the Economic Development Center of the State Council, a member of the Electronic Information Expert Database of the China Association for Science and Technology, a business research expert on Huaqiangbei, and a popular science columnist.

The China Electronics Society currently boasts 173,000 individual members, over 1,700 organizational members, 47 specialized branches, 18 expert committees, and 9 working committees. It has developed a dual-wheel approach of academic exchanges and educational training, alongside endeavors in scientific evaluation, policy research, scientific journals, standards development, and international cooperation. In 1996, under the initiative of Professor Zhou Zucheng of Tsinghua University, the China Electronics Society and Tsinghua University launched the “Huawei Cup” Chinese Graduate Electronic Design Competition. Over the past 25 years, this competition has evolved into a paradigm for exploring and practicing the cultivation of high-end talent in China. Mr. Song Shiqiang remarked that being appointed as a guest lecturer by the China Electronics Society is a significant recognition from a national-level academic institution since his transition across fields and industries. He feels honored to collaborate with Professor Zhou Zucheng, Professor Hua Ruxing, and Teacher Zhu Yiwei, viewing it as both encouragement and motivation to contribute effectively to the high-quality development and advancement of China’s semiconductor industry.

In the development and talent cultivation of China’s integrated circuit industry, Tsinghua University and Professor Zhou Zucheng have made significant contributions. Professor Zhou emphasizes that across various segments of the semiconductor industry chain, such as design and manufacturing, their pursuit extends beyond technological innovation to gaining market recognition and profitability. Despite intense competition throughout the semiconductor supply chain, China has achieved notable breakthroughs in certain technological domains. For instance, at Slkor Semiconductor led by Mr. Song Shiqiang, the core technical team comprising alumni from Tsinghua University and Yonsei University in Korea has mastered cutting-edge third-generation silicon carbide power device technology. Continuously developing products that are more competitive in terms of performance and cost-effectiveness, these can effectively substitute internationally renowned brands. SlkorMicro Semiconductor has seized upon the developmental opportunity of domestic substitution in electronic components. Products like Slkor’s M7 (SMA), AMS1117-3.3 (SOT-223), AMS1117-5.0 (SOT-223), SS34 (SMA), SS36 (SMA), SS8050 (SOT-23), SS8550 (SOT-23), 2N7002 (SOT-23), bat54c (SOT-23), SD12C (SOD-323), ZMM5V1 (LL-34), LL4148 (LL-34), SMBJ6.5CA (SMB), and SMBJ5.0A (SMB) are gaining significant traction in Huaqiangbei specialty stores and major internet platforms!

Slkor’s vision is to “become a leader in semiconductor industry”

Mr. Song Shiqiang remarked that since their establishment, both Kinghelm and Slkor have consistently benchmarked and learned from world-class enterprises, fostering significant progress through continuous micro-innovations. The “dual-wheel drive” rapid development model of the “Kinghelm” and “Slkor” brands and products has been established. By closely collaborating with industry partners, they actively promote a strategy of “domestic substitution,” aiming to accelerate the realization of their vision to “become a leader in domestic semiconductor manufacturing.” In order to effectively serve the European and American markets, Slkor Semiconductor has also obtained chemical testing certification under California’s Proposition 65, a crucial step ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and safeguarding consumer health and corporate reputation.

Today, China leads globally in data increment and growth rate, with robust developments in high-performance computing and AI chip technologies domestically, providing rare opportunities for enterprises like SlkorMicro and Kinghelm in the semiconductor and electronic information industries. Looking ahead, Mr. Song Shiqiang believes that through sustained technological innovation, China will achieve more in these high-tech fields. He firmly emphasizes the creation of industrial ecosystems, R&D sustainability, and innovation, ultimately driven by talent competition where learning ability is paramount. In his approach to corporate management, he emphasizes building a learning-oriented organization, leveraging training as the “second productivity of the enterprise” to unearth team members’ developmental potential, cultivate their innovation awareness, and enhance team spirit. Colleagues from Slkor and Kinghelm express that since joining the companies, they feel closer to becoming the composite and innovative talents needed by the era, attributing this to the companies’ frequent high-intensity training and learning atmosphere.
