May 15th.

The United States business agency issued a statement.

They have added a series of institutions and companies in Xia to the Entity List on the grounds of "technological cybersecurity", which will restrict the export, import, or re-export of these enterprises.

Here's a list.

Rainbow University (University).

National University of Defense Technology (University).

Northwestern Polytechnical University (University).

HKUST Xunfei (Artificial Intelligence).

Rainbow Electronics Group (CNC machine tools).

Yenching University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (University).

Rainbow Semiconductor Group (chip manufacturing).

Rainbow Automobile Co., Ltd. (New Energy).

Rainbow Aerospace Group (High Precision Instruments).

Rainbow Electrical Engineering Group (high-tech materials).

Rainbow Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (high-precision instruments).

National Supercomputing Yangcheng Center (Supercomputer).

There are 8 scientific research institutions (electronic information) under Xia Guo Electronic Technology Group.

Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. has 38 non-United States affiliated companies (communications).

......

In this list of entities, there are many companies.

The design of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence technology, microprocessor technology, advanced computing technology, quantum information and sensing technology, advanced materials, and brain-computer interfaces are all prohibited.

One of the most eye-catching.

Undoubtedly, the Ministry of Commerce of the United States has included Huawei Company and its 38 subsidiaries in the "entity list" of export control.

Major Mi companies, as well as companies with which allied countries do business, have received specific injunctions.

1. Immediately stop shipping products to Huawei and HiSilicon;

2. All existing or new orders from Huawei and HiSilicon will be suspended or terminated by TSMC;

3. Stop accessing the website of Birch for electronic procurement, and prohibit access;

4. A complete ban on the global procurement of chips from Birch.

......

As soon as the statement came out.

The official of the United States immediately announced that the official and the contractor, all of whom banned Birch as a product and banned Birch from participating in 5G construction.

Australia announced that it will prohibit Birch from bidding for participation in national 5G construction projects.

The Czech Republic announced that it would ban Birch from participating in 5G construction, and asked officials to ban the use of Birch mobile phones and dismantle existing Birch network equipment.

New Xilan announced that it would prohibit operators from using Birch equipment to build 5G, and said that it would not recognize the 5G agreement that operators have signed with Birch.

Neon Nation announced that it has banned the procurement of telecommunications equipment that poses a risk to national security, and has selected a 5G supplier other than Birch and removed the original Birch 4G equipment.

Canada announced that it has invested in 5G research with Nokia.

Kimchi Country announced that two of the three major operators have explicitly excluded birch.

Danpai announced that it has selected Ericsson to build its 5G network.

......

As soon as the statement came out.

The domestic Internet suddenly exploded.

The Entity List is an export control regulation established by the United States to safeguard its national security interests.

Before getting a license.

Exporters of the United States shall not assist companies on the list in obtaining any items subject to this regulation.

To put it simply, an entity list is a blacklist.

Once on this list, it actually deprives relevant companies of trade opportunities in the United States.

And that's not all.

If a third-party company buys a product and resells it to a company on the Entity List, it will also be included in the list or severely punished.

Moreover, the export controls of Gull Alliance and Neon are consistent with those of the United States.

Arguably.

Enterprises on the Entity List will not be able to move internationally in the international arena.

So many Xia enterprises and universities have been included in the entity list.

Netizens were indignant about this.

Computers are the infrastructure of the new era, and they belong to the steel gun that guards information security.

The most important thing in digital infrastructure is communication and computing power, that is, 5G and chips.

Who can occupy these two areas.

It can become an indispensable force in the digital landscape for decades to come.

The company is leading the world in the field of 5G communication, with the world's largest number of 5G patents, and has one foot into the future.

The United States can't wait to sanction the birch.

Now, even the Rainbow Group and universities are included in the Entity List.

......

At the same time.

on the Internet.

Netizens are scolding.

"Oh yes, the West has imposed a technological blockade on us~!"

"Their methods have given me a whole spit, first sanctioning Hua Wei, and then sanctioning the Rainbow Group. "

"They're scared! That's why they're desperate to sanction us. We are strong, and they are starting to panic. "

"To be more precise, what they want to kill is not dozens of enterprises, but the high-end technology industry of the entire Xia Kingdom!"

"What now? Now Huawei can't purchase chips globally. However, in the field of mobile phones and 5G, high-end chips are very important!"

"Weakly ask, can't Huawei Company buy domestic chips?"

"Upstairs netizens, you are really a budding newcomer! Let me give you a science popularization, there are no high-end chips in China! Without high-end chips, Huawei company can only stand still, and the high-tech field is changing with each passing day, if you stand still for two or three years, you will be caught up or even surpassed by other companies!"

"I hope that Huawei Company can survive this difficulty! If you want not to be sanctioned by Western countries, you can only make yourself stronger!"

"Rainbow Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. is now also encountering the same difficulties as Huawei, that is, the lack of high-end chips. Medical equipment such as rainbow surgical robots and rainbow photon counting dual-source CT all need to use high-end chips!"

......

It's late in the day.

Rainbow TV airs a special program.

The program invited Fang Yun, the head of Rainbow Village, as a special guest.

Susan, the host, said: "Today, the business organization of the United States has further tightened the restrictions on Huawei's access to the technology of the United States, and at the same time included the 38 subsidiaries of Huawei in 21 countries around the world, including the cloud computing technology of Huawei and the technology research and development department of Yingguo Huawei, all of which have been included in the entity list.

The commercial organization of the United States directly prohibits Birch from purchasing foreign-made chips produced using Birch software and technology, and at the same time prohibits chip foundries from using Birch equipment to customize chips.

The other side's move this time can be called the strictest means of attack in recent years.

At present, chip foundries around the world are using semiconductor equipment from the United States.

Therefore, Huawei Company not only cannot find a foundry to help it process chips, but even the purchase of third-party chips also needs to obtain permission from the United States.

Previously, it was reported that Huawei ordered 120 million chips from MediaTek, which is enough to meet two-thirds of the annual shipment demand.

But with the introduction of a new round of bans in the United States.

After the company's inventory chips are exhausted, it will face a situation where there are no cores available.

On the 15th of next month, it will be the first day that the United States will begin to implement a comprehensive supply cut to Huawei.

From that day on, manufacturers such as TSMC, Sangoru, SK hynix, etc., which OEM Kirin series high-end 5G chips for Huawei, will stop supplying Huawei.

According to industry sources.

The chip inventory of HiSilicon, a subsidiary of Huawei, can only be used until early next year, and the shipment of mobile phones next year has been significantly adjusted to 50 million to 70 million units.

There is no problem with HiSilicon's chip design.

But they can no longer continue to work together.

According to the latest news, HiSilicon has chartered a cargo plane to transport chips from the Bay Area before the shipment deadline to increase the stock inventory. "

Hear this.

Fang Yun said with a solemn expression: "Huawei is the world's No. 1 5G technology patent enterprise.

After they lost their external foundry, they lacked 5G baseband chips and could no longer manufacture 5G mobile phones.

It is obviously the first 5G company, but it can only sell 4G mobile phones.

The sadness and helplessness in it are really as aggrieved as you are. "

Susan asked, "Village Chief Fang, why do you think Mi Guo has to get along with a Xia Guo company?"

"This is no ordinary business!"

Fang Yun said bluntly: "There are many top enterprises in Xia Kingdom, such as Ahri and Teng Xun.

However, the United States will not target Ahri Tengxun for the time being, because these two companies are upper-layer applications on top of the infrastructure of the United States. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In their opinion, you are on top of my infrastructure, you can play as much as you want, as long as the foundation is removed, you are finished.

And the birch is the company, and now it is engaged in infrastructure.

This made the United States very angry.

When we talk about 5G, we usually talk about fast network speeds, fast download speeds, unmanned driving, and the Internet of Everything.

And the United States believes that the real potential of 5G is its impact on future war networks.

If 5G commands thousands of drones, thousands of unmanned ships, and thousands of robots, the threat will rise exponentially.

Moreover, 5G can transform Xia from a capital-labor-intensive manufacturing economy to an innovative economy.

Therefore, Mi Guo desperately suppressed the birch for the company!"

"I see!"

Susan nodded in realization.

Fang Yun continued: "Birch is HiSilicon, and in terms of chip design concepts, it has become one of the world's leading companies.

However, because the domestic lithography machine is too backward, it cannot produce high-end chips, so it can only be limited everywhere.

Their current situation is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. "

Hearing this, Susan sighed.

All electronics and devices are inseparable from chips.

Last year, 90 of the domestic chips relied on imports, with a total amount of more than 300 billion US dollars, and the money was earned by others.

Susan asked, "So how can Huawei get 5G chips and produce 5G mobile phones?"

Fang Yun said slowly: "After the ban is introduced, Xia must establish a chip production line with non-rice equipment in order to get rid of the technical blockade.

Chip production line, involving lithography machine, Track, ion implantation, CVD, PVD cleaning, CMP, ETCH. Diffusion, Defect measurement and other processes.

Other technological processes are good to say, but in the field of lithography machines, Xia Guo has never made much breakthroughs. []

As long as we develop a high-end lithography machine, we can produce 5G chips, so that Hua can produce mobile phones for the company!"

Hear this.

Susan nodded in agreement: "After the ban is introduced.

Huawei Company, Rainbow Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., Rainbow Electronics Group, Rainbow Semiconductor Group, Rainbow Aerospace Group, Rainbow Electrical Engineering Group, Rainbow Automobile Co., Ltd. and other enterprises have encountered the same difficulties.

That is the lack of high-end chips.

These companies are unable to purchase chips from around the world and can only rely on domestic semiconductor companies.

TSMC is currently the strongest wafer factory on the surface, with a 5nm process chip production line, but they will not produce chips for us.

SMIC has a 14-meter process chip production line, but they use the solution of Applied Materials in the thin film deposition process, so they cannot produce chips for us.

China Microelectronics can produce chips for us, but their process is a 28-nanometer process chip production line, which cannot be called a high-end chip.

Birch is at the forefront of the world in the field of chip design. But they are only chip designers, not producers.

The world's top chip manufacturing process, each process is firmly in the hands of companies in various countries.

Lithography machines: Asmael (Netherlands), Nikon (Neon Country).

Track: TEL (Neon Country), screen (Neon Country).

Ion implantation: AMAT (米国), CITIC Technology (Xia Guo).

CVD: TEL (Neon Country), North Huachuang (Xia Country).

PVD cleaning: DNS (neon country), screen (neon country), Shengmei (rice country).

CMP: Ebara (Neon Country), Huahai Qingke (米国).

ETCH: TEL (Neon Country), China Microelectronics (Xia Country), North Huachuang (Xia Country), mattson (Xia Country), APTC (Kimchi Country), Hitachi (Neon Country).

Defect measurement, OCD/Thickness measurement: Hitach (neon), Modu Ruili (Xia Guo), Zhongke Flying Test (Xia Guo).

All in all.

Our Xia country really does not have an advantage in the field of chip manufacturing.

The other processes are okay.

Only in the field of high-end lithography machines, Xia Guo is really at a loss!

The difficulty of manufacturing high-end lithography machines can be called hell.

So far, there are only two countries in the world that have mastered the mainstream technology for manufacturing lithography machines.

They are the Netherlands and the Neon Country, and even the United States can only import lithography machines.

Take the latest fifth-generation lithography machine as an example.

An EUV engraving machine, with a total weight of 180 tons, requires dozens of containers to transport.

Even if it is shipped to the location, it is necessary to prepare for a year and wait for installation and commissioning.

The internal structure of the lithography machine is precise and complex, with more than 100,000 parts.

Among them, the raw materials come from all over the world.

High-performance lithography machines require Germanic Zeiss lens technology, control software and light sources from the United States, special composite materials from Neon Country, and so on.

Although the Netherlands and Neon countries dominate the field of lithography machines, they cannot realize the localization of the whole machine, and still need the supply and support of the global upstream and downstream industrial chains.

These areas are all the shortcomings of Xia Guo.

The research and development of domestic lithography machines has a long way to go. "

Fang Yun said: "In the past, chips could be easily bought, and various companies had the idea that it was better to buy them.

After the chip ban is implemented, companies will begin to wake up.

If the chip supply cannot be controlled by itself, it is possible to be cut off at any time.

The Rainbow Semiconductor Group, a village-run enterprise in Rainbow Village, has previously spent hundreds of billions of yuan to develop domestic high-end lithography machines!"

Hearing this, Susan nodded.

She spoke: "Technology without borders is just a façade.

The company has its own chip R&D and production department, so that it will not be stuck!

Mi tried to use the means of long-arm management to completely block our Xia Guo enterprises.

This shows that they are really in a hurry.

But Xia Guo's enterprises will not be intimidated by any difficulties.

In the field of chips, we will definitely be able to grow from weak to strong, and finally stand on top of the world!"

At this time, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Actually...... We can't build high-end lithography machines now, but we can think differently and build a lithography factory and expand the parts.

To put it simply, we built a very large machine in a space the size of a football field.

Let the light run 5,000 meters in a circle first.

At the end of 5000 meters, the light source is controlled to move around 1mm.

Covering 1 nanometer, 7 nanometers, 14 meters, 28 nanometers, what nanometers you want, find it in 5000 meters.

The way of building a lithography factory in the form of infrastructure may be a new choice!"

"Lithography factory?"

Susan was stunned, can you still do this?.
