City: Start A Chip Factory

Just then, the beautiful and capable female secretary came in.

Secretary: "Mr. Li, someone is looking for you outside. He said he has a verbal appointment with you."

Li Jun: "Huh? I remember I didn't make an appointment. Who is it?"

Secretary: "His surname is Du and he is a young man."

Li Jun said "Oh" and knew it was Du Bo.

This surprised him.

To be honest, Li Jun didn't have much confidence in Du Bo and always felt that the young man was unreliable.

Of course, chip factories do exist, but they are full of doubts.

That factory looks like a chip factory, but it's not certain whether it can be used.

Even if it works, it's hard to say whether it can meet their future needs for automotive-grade chips for electric vehicles.

The key point is that what Du Bo said is a bit outrageous. If you send the chip ic plan today, the tape-out can be done the next day?

Li Jun, an advanced chip factory, has also talked about it. Taping out is not something that can be done in a few days.

What a brag!

Even the stupidest novelist cannot write such a story!

As the boss of a large company, Li Jun would certainly not hang himself from a tree.

If we can no longer find a good channel for chip foundry, we can only negotiate with Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. or Zhongxin International to increase the price for foundry.

Now that Du Bo is here, let's chat and see if he can come up with something.

Li Jun: "Let him come in directly, and then call Director Sun Shaoyu for me."

The secretary responded and went out.

Sun Shaoyu is the director of the automotive chip IC design department.

He knows the chips best, especially the chips he designed, and he can basically tell the quality of the chips.

Du Bo and Sun Shaoyu almost came in front and back.

Du Bo exchanged greetings with Li Jun for a few words, and then went directly to the topic.

Li Jun: "Mr. Du, you haven't really completed the tape-out, right?"

Du Bo: "Of course it's done."

Li Jun was stunned. He didn't expect Du Bo to speak so confidently.

Du Bo didn't care about anything else and took out the 12-inch wafer from the bag.

Du Bo: "Mr. Li, take a look and see if the talisman meets the requirements."

Li Jun immediately asked Sun Shaoyu to take a look.

Sun Shaoyu is still confused now, his eyes lit up when he saw the wafer.

Sun Shaoyu: "Hey, it's hard to see 12-inch wafers here."

Li Jun: "This is the tape-out of our future car-grade chip. Let's see...if it can be used."

Sun Shaoyu was startled: "Our car-standard chip?"

With that said, Sun Shaoyu quickly started to read.

It's a bit difficult to see things at the nanometer level with the naked eye.

Sun Shaoyu also took out a portable microscope from his pocket.

As a man in science and engineering, it’s not surprising that he carries this thing with him everywhere.

Sun Shaoyu looked at it for a while, and his expression became increasingly weird.

Li Jun: "How about it? Can it be done?"

Sun Shaoyu raised his head: "Mr. Li, this is wrong!"

Li Jun looked disappointed: "Can't this chip be used?"

Sun Shaoyu: "This is not our latest version of the design! It is the old version, and it has been eliminated!"

Li Jun's expression was complicated.

First his eyes lit up, then he looked at Du Bo with an embarrassed look on his face.

Li Jun: "Don't worry about this for now. Is this a tape-out based on the chip we designed?"

Sun Shaoyu said categorically: "It is indeed our tape-out, and the processing level is very high, without any flaws at all."

Li Jun suddenly stood up: "Are you sure!?"

Sun Shaoyu was startled: "It's true...sure..."

Sun Shaoyu said again: "By the way, Mr. Li, there is another question."

Li Jun: "What's the problem?"

Sun Shaoyu: "This is a 12-inch wafer. Our chips can be made at 8 inches. This is too wasteful!"

Li Jun glared at Sun Shaoyu helplessly. Do you need to worry about this?

Li Jun: "Besides this, are there any other questions?"

Sun Shaoyu: "Mr. Li, the specific numerical indicators need to be verified in the laboratory, but according to my experience, there should be no problem. By the way, which factory made this? It can't be Zhongxin International, right? Then they The technology has made great progress!”

Li Jun pointed at Du Bo and replied: "It was made by Mr. Du's chip factory."

Sun Shaoyu turned to Du Bo and asked: "Mr. Du, where do you work?"

Du Bo: "Du Bo chip factory."

Sun Shaoyu was confused: "...ah?"

I’ve never heard of this chip factory!

Du Bo patted his chest: "My name is Du Bo."

It is now obvious that Du Bo's chip factory not only makes chips, but also does them well.

But Li Jun still had concerns.

Chip foundry is nothing else. It is a supply chain. If things go wrong, big problems may arise.

However, Li Jun was very happy and signed a preliminary OEM contract with Du Bo.

First, OEM will produce 1,000 chips. If they meet the requirements, we will continue to place additional orders.

Li Jun: "However, cutting and packaging are still needed in the follow-up. I have to contact the relevant manufacturers, which will take some time."

Du Bo: "Don't bother, my chip factory has one-stop service, everything is covered."

When Li Jun and Sun Shaoyu heard this, they became two idiots.
