China Electronics Technology Group Corporation No. 13 Institute
The China Electronics Technology Group Corporation's 13th Research Institute, founded in Beijing in 1956 and relocated to Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, in 1963, is a leading, innovation-driven, and comprehensive research institution specializing in core semiconductor electronic devices. It boasts significant scale, robust technical capabilities, and a fully integrated professional structure. As a key national supplier of high-end, cutting-edge electronic components and a pioneering hub for innovation in new semiconductor technologies, the 13th Institute plays a vital role in advancing China's advanced electronics sector. Focusing on five major technological areas—microelectronics, optoelectronics, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), high-end semiconductor sensors, and optomechatronic integrated microsystems—as well as foundational support fields like electronic packaging, materials science, and metrology testing—the 13th Institute has consistently pioneered over 60 domestic firsts in the semiconductor industry since its establishment. To date, it has achieved more than 3,100 scientific research breakthroughs, with 63 earning national-level awards, 500 receiving ministerial or provincial honors, and 550 recognized as either internationally leading or globally advanced in their respective fields. In 2020, the institute generated revenue of 8.1 billion yuan and has maintained an A-grade performance rating from the group corporation for nine consecutive years. Today, the 13th Institute employs over 7,000 professionals, including 577 mid- and senior-level technical experts, two Group Chief Scientists, three Chief Experts, seven specialists who receive special government allowances, and one individual recognized under the National "Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand Talents" Program. The institute operates across two main facilities: its headquarters and a western production area, spanning a total site of 1,500 mu. It comprises four major business divisions, five innovation centers, and 12 controlled subsidiaries. Additionally, the 13th Institute is equipped with nine state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing production lines, and it holds both GJB9001C-2017 and GB-T19001-2016 quality system certifications. The institute also hosts several prestigious institutions, including a Key National Defense Science and Technology Laboratory, the National Defense Industry Component Packaging Technology Innovation Center, the National Semiconductor Device Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the Level-2 Metrology Station 1312 for the Defense Industry, and the National 863 Program Base for Optoelectronic Device Industrialization and MEMS Process & Packaging. Moreover, the 13th Institute serves as a master’s program provider in engineering and a joint doctoral training institution, hosting a postdoctoral research workstation. It also publishes two nationally recognized core journals—*Semiconductor Technology* and *Micro- and Nanoelectronic Technology*. With a fully independent and controllable technology ecosystem covering everything from materials and design to process development, testing, and packaging, the 13th Institute has established a comprehensive product supply chain—from individual chips and components to integrated microsystems. Its products are widely deployed in advanced military electronic systems across naval, land, air, and space domains, making it a critical force in ensuring the domestic self-reliance and control of core electronic components for China’s defense equipment. Beyond defense applications, the 13th Institute is actively expanding into emerging strategic sectors such as microwave and RF communications, electronic ceramic packaging, power electronics for renewable energy, and sensor technologies. It has forged strong technical partnerships with numerous world-renowned companies and research institutions, fostering extensive global collaboration and knowledge exchange. As a result, its products not only meet the growing demand for domestic substitution but are also exported to over 20 countries and regions worldwide. Looking ahead, the 13th Institute remains steadfast in its commitment to national security and technological independence. Rooted firmly in Hebei Province, it continues to champion self-reliance and innovation, dedicating itself wholeheartedly to advancing China’s semiconductor industry. By doing so, the institute underscores its unwavering dedication as a trusted cornerstone of the nation’s semiconductor prowess—a true embodiment of China’s strategic strength and global influence in this critical field.

How to Use a Multiphase Boost Converter
When the required system voltage exceeds the available supply voltage, a boost converter is typically an ideal solution. However, conventional standard boost topologies are not the only option. In certain application scenarios, phase-shifted multiphase boost converters can deliver superior performance: these converters achieve higher efficiency under heavy-load conditions while significantly reducing the required capacitance values for both the input and output stages.
