Coal Mine Sells Hundreds Of Billions: I Support Half Of The Entertainment Circle

1G DRAM memory chip

Manufacturing process: 50nm manufacturing process

Main frequency: 400HZ

Production time: May 2007

Exchange price: 2000 Chinese dollars.

It was this chip exchanged by the system that allowed Lin Xuan to completely open the doors of SMIC and Spreadtrum Huahong NEC.

No way, it can only be said that this chip is too advanced.

Because in 2004, the 90-nanometer manufacturing process is the most advanced technology.

This year, Pentium 4 adopted a 90-nanometer process technology, and its performance was further improved.

At that time, only manufacturers such as Intel, Infineon, Texas Instruments, IBM, and UMC and TSMC could achieve a 90-nanometer manufacturing process.

As for that, SMIC and Spreadtrum Huahong NC still can't reach this kind of technology at all.

As for 50 nanometers.

According to Moore's Law, the statement is iterated every 18 or 24 months.

The 50nm process is at least two years ahead of the 90nm process.

And indeed it is.

16 In 2004, the mainstream configuration of computers was 256M of DDR400.

For example, 1G memory chips will not be launched by Samsung Electronics until after 2006.

Obviously, the emergence of such a chip,

It surprised SMIC and other companies after the test.

A few days ago, after receiving this stepping stone, Zhang Rujing, who was involved in a lawsuit with TSMC, didn't even care about the lawsuit.

Talked directly to Zhang Shangzhou on the phone.

"Old Zhang, I received a chip here, listen to me..."

However, before Zhang Rujing finished speaking, Zhang Shangzhou immediately said excitedly:

"I also received a chip. I asked someone to test it. The technology of this storage chip is at least two generations ahead of us, Samsung, and TSMC by about one generation!"

"Yes, mine is the same, I don't know which company's masterpiece this is!?"

Zhang Rujing said, he didn't expect that Zhang Shangzhou's chip was also lost by mail.

It's just that he is eager to know who made this storage chip.

Obviously, the emergence of this chip broke Moore's Law, the rule of iterating once every two years.

"Ru Jing, don't worry, since the other party sent us the chip, they will definitely contact us!"

Zhang Shangzhou said with a smile on the phone.

"That's true, it's just a little itchy in my heart!" Zhang Rujing said.

"Haha, who's to say it's not, although it's very slim, but I really hope it's made by a flower planter!"

Zhang Shangzhou said, and then he asked:

"How about TSMC!?"

"Still relentless and refuse to reconcile!" Zhang Rujing sighed.

Speaking of which, SMIC was indeed at fault, and Chang Rujing couldn't deny it.

In 2000, Liu Yunxi, TSMC's quality and reliability manager, was about to leave for the mainland.

During the resignation process, she received an email from SMIC Chief Operating Officer Marco Mora,

The email asked her to provide a detailed process flow of a product.

Mora, who is Italian, used to be a colleague of Zhang Rujing when he was at Texas Instruments.

After this incident was accidentally discovered by TSMC, it was immediately reported to the Taiwan provincial police.

Taiwan police immediately searched Liu Yunxi's home in Hsinchu and seized her computer.

I found the emails between Mora and Liu Yunxi, as well as some internal information of TSMC.

This incident became the cause of the hostility between SMIC and TSMC.

But in essence, TSMC has felt the rapid development of SMIC.

In 2003, the florists integrated circuit industry continued to maintain rapid growth,

Chip production exceeded 20 billion pieces, and sales revenue exceeded 50 billion.

The total output value of the planter's integrated circuit industry increased by 45% year-on-year, which was the highest in the world at that time.

Among them, SMIC alone accounts for 10% of the total output value of the Huajia integrated circuit industry, and 30% of the manufacturing output value.

The rapid development of SMIC has made TSMC, which has been vigilant against SMIC, unable to sit still.

Therefore, in August 2003, which was a sensitive period before SMIC went public, TSMC sued SMIC in the court of California, a beautiful country, for improperly obtaining its trade secrets and infringing on patent rights, demanding SMIC to pay US$1 billion.

However, SMIC's revenue this year was only over US$600 million.

Therefore, Zhang Rujing's biggest headache every day is the lawsuit against TSMC.

However, in this context, Zhang Rujing received the storage chip sent by Lin Xuan.

After receiving the chip, the next few days.

Zhang Rujing, Zhang Shangzhou, Chen Datong and Huahong NEC from Spreadtrum were all nervously staring at their phones.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Shangzhou finally got a call from Lin Xuan.

After the phone call between the two, Lin Xuan didn't say anything high-sounding,

He just said that he was going to Shanghai to talk to Zhang Shangzhou.

However, he has a request, that is, Zhang Rujing from SMIC, Chen Datong from Spreadtrum, representatives from Hua Hong NEC,

And academician Wang Yangyuan gathered together.

Many people may not know Academician Wang Yangyuan, but he is one of the pioneers of the flower planter chip industry.

Wang Yangyuan graduated from the Department of Physics of Imperial University, and is one of the first batch of semiconductor professionals trained by flower growers.

In 1975, the Department of Physics of Imperial University, where Wang Yangyuan was located, designed the first batch of 1K memory of Huahuajia, which was only five years later than Intel's 1103783, and four or five years earlier than Bangziguo and Baodao.

At that time, Bangzi Country and Baodao had no foundation for scientific research in the electronics industry.

Wang Yangyuan has more than 40 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. He is the chief scientist of the Institute of Microelectronics at Imperial University and one of the founders of SMIC.

It can be said that Wang Yangyuan is one of the big dippers of the semiconductor industry for florists.

If Lin Xuan can get his help, he will get twice the result with half the effort to enter the chip semiconductor industry in the future.

At least in terms of recruiting talents, Wang Yangyuan can definitely help Lin Xuan save a lot of time.

So, naturally.

When Lin Xuan came to Shanghai, at the headquarters building of Zhangjiang SMIC in Shanghai, he met the boss of the company who almost covered the entire chip industry in Shanghai.

However, Zhang Shangzhou, who had just driven from the government office, obviously did not expect Lin Xuan to be so young after seeing Lin Xuan for the first time.

It's completely different from the old-fashioned way of speaking on the phone.

"You are Mr. Lin!?"

Zhang Shangzhou asked in the meeting room of SMIC headquarters

"Fake exchange!"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he took a few business cards from the bodyguard Hu Li behind him and handed them to the people present.
