I'm Doing Scientific Research In A Junior College. What Are You Afraid Of, Yingjiang?

When Han Yue led the students to manufacture photolithography machines in the factory.

A Longguo Semiconductor Industry Summit is being held.

It’s been almost two months since Yingjiang’s semiconductor ban was implemented.

In the past two months, more than 6,000 executives and engineers from Yingjiang, Xiaori, Bangzi, and Shidao have left Long Country under the threat of Yingjiang.

More than 4,000 technical service personnel from more than 100 semiconductor supply chain companies around the world have stopped providing technical services to Longguo's semiconductor companies.

It has had a huge impact on all semiconductor industries in Dragon Kingdom.

In the past month, Yingjiang has become even more serious, and the semiconductor ban has become more stringent.

Not to mention the most advanced EUV lithography machines, even the backward generation DUV lithography machines are banned from shipment.

In Tulip's port and ASML's warehouse, there are backlogs of hundreds of photolithography machines that Longguo semiconductor companies paid for, but they cannot be transported to Longguo at all.

Yingjiang is determined to completely kill Longguo's semiconductor industry.

No lithography machines are allowed to enter the Dragon Kingdom, not even backward DUV lithography machines, nor those that have already been paid for!

Because of the lack of photolithography machines and other necessary equipment.

Chengdu GlobalFoundries Chip, a 12-inch wafer manufacturing base project with an investment of 70 billion, has stopped production.

Wucheng Hongxin Semiconductor, which plans to invest a total of 128 billion yuan in 28nm and below 14nm logic process projects, has stopped production.

Sioux City Deco Semiconductor plans to invest 45 billion yuan in a 12-inch CIS wafer fab project with an annual output of 240,000 pieces and suspend production.

Jiangcheng Times Memory, which invested 13 billion yuan to build a PCM (Phase Change Memory) project with an annual production capacity of 100,000 pieces, has stopped production.

Some of these projects have just acquired land and built buildings, some factories are half-finished, and some production lines have been set up, but the most critical photolithography machine is missing.

Although these projects are all mid- to low-end 28-nanometer and 14-nanometer projects, if they are all completed, they will change the status quo of the Blue Star semiconductor industry.

Even Bangguo and Wandao, although they can produce the most advanced 7nm and 5nm chips, they also ship large quantities of backward 28nm and 14nm chips.

After all, only high-end mobile phones and computers use the most advanced chips.

For automobiles, home appliances, and construction machinery that have the greatest demand, 28-nanometer chips are enough.

In other words, if Longguo can capture most of the world's low-end chip production capacity, it will be able to gradually achieve erosion from downstream to upstream, and from low-end to high-end, just like home appliances, mobile phones, automobiles, shipbuilding and other industries. . Turn the entire industry into a bargain.

As long as it continues to develop steadily, Longguo's semiconductor industry will surely be able to achieve a leap forward.

But all this was put to an end by Yingjiang's semiconductor ban!

In just two months,

Semiconductor projects with a cumulative investment of more than one trillion yuan in various parts of the Dragon Kingdom have been suspended!

Only the production lines that have been completed, such as Loongson International, Changxin Semiconductor, and Jangho Semiconductor, can breathe a new life with the domestic lithography machines manufactured by Han Yue.

Although production can continue, it cannot expand production.

It can be said that the current semiconductor industry in Dragon Kingdom can only maintain its status and cannot expand any further!

Being able to maintain current production is thanks to Yue.

Yingjiang has locked up the possibility of Longguo Semiconductor’s development!

The content discussed at this semiconductor summit will focus on the future development of the semiconductor industry and find a way out.

Everyone in the Dragon Kingdom attaches great importance to this semiconductor summit.

The summit lasted several days, but discussions came and went.

All are inseparable from the most important thing.

Lithography!

Regarding this summit, Longtai Economic Channel also made a special interview program.

Many guests from the industry were invited.

It includes technology commentators, senior engineers in the industry, supply chain technicians, and executives and founders of chip manufacturers.

One of the most important and famous one,

He is an executive who retired from Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

He participated in the establishment of many semiconductor companies in Longguo and owned shares in many companies.

In many places, as soon as they see his name, they give the green light to project approvals and provide various subsidies and land resources.

Including Wucheng Hongxin Semiconductor and Suzhou Deke Semiconductor, which have now been discontinued, he has participated.

He was even promoted by some media as the father of domestic chips.

The host Bingbing smiled sweetly: "Hello everyone, welcome to the special program of the Longguo Semiconductor Summit."

“Since the issuance of Yingjiang’s semiconductor ban, the industry has been very pessimistic about the development prospects of Longguo’s semiconductor industry.

"Many people even believe that the semiconductor industry in Dragon Kingdom will all die overnight."

“There is a lack of domestic photolithography machines, domestic etching machines, and domestic ion plating. The localization rate of many machines and equipment is even less than 100%.

"The most terrible thing is that the raw materials such as photoresist necessary for chip production are also restricted by the semiconductor ban and cannot be imported. When Loongson Semiconductor's 28-nanometer chip production line was most critical, it could only maintain production for one month."

Having said this, the sweet smile on Bingbing's face disappeared and became very serious.

"Fortunately, Han Yue's team from Zhonghai Vocational and Technical College conquered the domestic photoresist, allowing chip companies such as Loongson Semiconductor to continue production."

"At critical moments, people like Han Yue bravely stood up and maintained the production of existing chip production lines.

"But this does not allow us to sit back and relax. The difficult moment has not passed. Without lithography machines, we cannot produce higher-end chips and expand production capacity. The existing chip production lines will also reduce production as the equipment ages. "

"In short, if we cannot produce completely domestically produced photolithography machines, Longguo's semiconductor industry will not usher in the dawn."

"So, when will we be able to build domestic lithography machines? Can we have completely domestically produced high-end chips? In order to achieve this goal, what efforts and attempts are required from relevant departments and enterprises?"

After Bingbing introduced the current situation, she changed the topic to the lithography machine. 3

"So what do the guests think of this?"

The first person to speak was Wang Zicheng, a well-known technology commentator who is famous for reviewing mobile phones.

He has tens of millions of fans online by reviewing Pingguo and Sansang's mobile phones.

"I think the current situation is very bad and very pessimistic. Many people in society, especially young people, generally have a sentiment that our technology is already very powerful, and we feel invincible. Except for Yingjiang, Other countries don’t take it seriously.”

"But I think we are still quite lagging behind, and we are far from strong in many areas."

"For example, I often do mobile phone reviews. Although our country's current HOVM mobile phone manufacturers have a high market share in the international market, their combined profits are not as good as those of Pingguo. Moreover, many components in mobile phones are It's from abroad, the screen and storage are from Bangguo Sansang, and the lens is from Xiaozisani. We still have a long way to go.

"As for lithography machines, I don't know much, but I conservatively estimate that within ten years, we will not be able to build a DUV lithography machine that can produce chips below 28nm. As for the most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography machine that can produce 5nm chips EUV lithography machine, then I dare not say anything about it.”

At this time, another technology commentator known for his venomous tongue said: "

Wang Zicheng talks about being pessimistic, but in fact he is too optimistic. I think that we will definitely not be able to build a completely domestically produced photolithography machine within ten years. "

"Not long ago, China Shipping Microelectronics' 28nm lithography machine failed to pass the acceptance test for Longguo 02 project. It is said that there is a big gap between it and commercial use. It is not optimistic. How many years will it take to reach the level of ASML's previous generation DUV lithography machine? No one can tell.”

"I think ten years is definitely enough."

"I think twenty years is enough. It is too difficult to localize things like lithography machines! No country on the entire Blue Star can independently manufacture lithography machines. Not Tulip Country, not Little Life, even Eagle Sauce. No. What kind of capital does our Dragon Country have to say that we can build a completely domestically produced photolithography machine just by relying on our own abilities?"

"I think the most important thing now, whether it's ten years or twenty years, is what should be done next? Yingjiang is already in disarray and wants to destroy our semiconductor industry at all costs. We should think about what if What should we do if we are separated from the world's industrial chain and globalized division of labor!"

Several guests spoke one after another,

But the words are full of pessimism.

It is believed that Longguo will not be able to build a completely domestically produced photolithography machine in a short period of time.

At this time, Zhang Zhongliang, a retired executive of Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and hailed by the media as the father of domestic films, adjusted his glasses.

He said slowly:

"I think the issue you are discussing is biased. Why does Longguo want to domestically produce photolithography machines so early?"

'.~ It is impossible to manufacture a completely domestically produced photolithography machine!"

Zhang Zhongliang's words shocked the audience at the scene and in front of the screen.

Other guests, no matter how pessimistic they were, felt that in ten or twenty years at most, our country would be able to produce a usable lithography machine.

But this well-known leader in the entire semiconductor industry bluntly stated that it is impossible to build a completely domestic lithography machine!

...

Everyone at the scene looked at Zhang Zhongliang, wanting to hear what he would say next.

"I think you underestimate the difficulty of the lithography machine. The lithography machine is different from other machines, it is too difficult!"

"In the entire Blue Star, there are more than 120 countries. No country can manufacture lithography machines alone. This is a very long industrial chain, and it can even be said to be the longest industry.

Although ASML is a company from Tulip Country, its core components are all from the United States, the United States, and the European Union. It was born from the convergence of the industrial essence of dozens of countries. That’s why it is called the flower of the modern optical industry and the crown jewel of the semiconductor industry!

“Without any country’s industrial base, humans will not be able to build the most advanced photolithography machines.

"Since this is the case all over the world, and Western developed countries rely on cooperation and division of labor to create lithography machines, then why do we insist on building domestic lithography machines?"

"Lithography machines are not an industrial chain that a country can fully control, so I say that the pursuit of completely domestically produced lithography machines is impossible to succeed."

After Zhang Zhongliang finished speaking, the audience fell into deep thought.

Yes, no country can build a photolithography machine alone, not even Eagle Sauce. Even among these dozens of developed countries, even if one is missing, none of them can be created.

If you want to build a completely domestic lithography machine, you are doing something that no country on Blue Star can do! (Noli’s)

The mood in the studio was downbeat.

The host Bingbing’s sweet smile also disappeared, and her brows were furrowed.

"Then what should we do?" she asked.

Zhang Zhongliang replied:

"Blue Star is a whole. Each country has its own advantageous industries and industrial division of labor. If we need something, we can buy it directly.

okay. 11

Host Bingbing asked:

"But Yingjiang sanctioned our semiconductor industry and issued a semiconductor ban, forcing other countries around the world to ban the export of semiconductor-related equipment and materials, let alone lithography machines.

Yes, they don’t even want to sell photoresist to us. "

He asked Zhang Zhongliang before he could answer.

Technology commentator Wang Zicheng first said:

"I think we can't blame Yingjiang for this. We should think about whether we did something wrong. Why can we sell it to Bangguo, Wandao, and Xiaorili?

Why don’t you sell us? Why don’t you sanction the great country or Xiaoli, but just sanction us? Shouldn’t we reflect on it?”

“In this case, we shouldn’t ask why we didn’t sell the photolithography machine, but we should reflect on what we didn’t do well!”

"If we ease the relationship with Yingjiang, correct what we have done wrong according to their requirements, and work hard to make Yingjiang and other countries accept us. Becoming a part of them will also

Will you not sell it to us?”

After he said this, Bingbing's face turned black with anger.

The audience in front of the screen was almost furious.

What's the point?

Eagle Sauce sanctions us, does this also make us reflect?

It is obvious that Yingjiang is using its hegemony to interfere with normal trade. We are forced to embark on the path of independence, but in the end it is our fault?
