Rebirth began in 2004

The Spring Festival of 2017 was particularly lively.

Chen Wei returned to his hometown and sent a big red envelope to every family. Chen Jianhua also came back and made some arrangements, inviting everyone on the team to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

In the past two years, Chen Jianhua has lived a good life and gained a lot of weight.

After staying outside for a long time, Chen Jianhua and his wife returned to Chengdu some time ago.

I bought a well-decorated second-hand house and plan to live in Chengdu permanently.

Chen Gang naturally lived with Chen Jianhua and the others.

The little guy is still reluctant to part with it.

Deng Mei and Deng Jia greeted people gracefully.

Deng Mei will graduate from college this year and is currently interning in a company.

Chen Wei was not prepared to ask Deng Mei to come to Hengtong Group to help him. He would rather let her grow up first.

As for Deng Jia?

Chen Wei didn't have much expectations for her. Just live well and live happily. When you get old, find a man to marry and don't think about anything grand in this life.

In this world, most people's lives are ordinary.

There are so many heroic heroes out there.

After the Spring Festival, Chen Wei started to get busy and went directly to Chengdu.

He has to check out the situation of Shanghai Microelectronics and Huaxin International.

Over the past few years, Shanghai Microelectronics has established its own industrial chain system with sufficient financial support.

This industrial chain system is a purely domestic industrial chain, all of which are produced domestically.

Globally, only China can achieve this level.

As the only country in the world with a full industrial system, even China itself does not know how strong its potential is.

We can only make inferences with more data.

There is always a difference between speculation and reality.

This lithography machine industry chain is slightly inferior to the lithography machine industry chain composed of many foreign countries, but for Shencheng Microelectronics, it is enough.

Shanghai Microelectronics' 22nm immersion scanning projection lithography machine SW-22 has achieved initial success and is now undergoing final improvements.

The price of SW-22 is naturally not cheap.

Huaxin International has placed an order with Shanghai Microelectronics for ten units in advance.

The total value is as high as 1.8 billion.

Shanghai Microelectronics' SW-22 lithography machine is the most advanced level that an immersion step scanning projection lithography machine can achieve.

Next, there is the EUV lithography machine.

In the research and development of EUV lithography machines, Shencheng Microelectronics is not without accumulation.

Shencheng Microelectronics has been immersed in the research and development of EUV lithography machines for a long time, and has naturally achieved many results.

EUV research and development has encountered two big problems: light source and optical lens.

In order to solve these two problems, Shencheng Microelectronics has spent a lot of effort.

He acquired the most advanced light sources and optical lens research institutions in the country, and then directly started the money-spending mode.

Invest more manpower and R&D funds.

I have to say that domestic scientific researchers are really awesome.

As long as you keep throwing money at it, there's nothing you can't solve.

Or because Chinese people are smart.

As long as something can be done abroad, there is nothing we cannot do.

It's just a question of whether to do something or not.

After solving the problems of optics and optical lenses, the development speed of EUV lithography machines has been significantly accelerated.

"Currently, only ASML can manufacture EUV lithography machines in the world. In 2010, ASML developed the first EUV prototype machine. It was not until last year that ASML began to supply downstream companies

Officially supplied.”

With the emergence of EUV lithography machines, chip manufacturing processes are rapidly developing towards more precision, ranging from 10 nanometers, 7 nanometers, 5 nanometers to even 3 nanometers and 1 nanometer.

The very important reason why Liang Mengsong came to Huaxin International last year, in 2015, was because ASML's EUV lithography machine was about to be officially launched.

Faced with the invitation from Huaxin International, Triangle Star itself could no longer retain anyone. Regarding the development of 10-nanometer chip manufacturing technology, Triangle Star felt that it could rely on itself instead of relying on outsiders.

When facing airborne personnel, no matter which company they are in, they will receive a certain degree of resistance.

Triangle Star's chip manufacturing technology is above 14 nanometers, and it briefly surpassed Bao Semiconductor, but Bao Semiconductor quickly regained its strength and overtook it.

"Although we have not come into contact with ASML's EUV lithography machine, some publicly collected information is still very helpful to our research and development."

The biggest help is to let Shencheng Microelectronics know that the EUV technology route is feasible.

There is no need to try it, just go all out and pile people and money on this route.

It took ASML more than ten years to develop an EUV lithography machine. With Shencheng Microelectronics trying its best to catch up, it only took a few years to complete it.

Chen Wei: "I won't rush you, I know your strength. You have never disappointed in research and development."

"Shencheng Microelectronics is able to develop so well now, and your R&D personnel have the greatest contribution."

As the chief technical engineer of Shanghai Microelectronics, Dong Anshun worked for Shanghai Microelectronics before.

Dong Anshun naturally knows what Shanghai Microelectronics was like before Xingkong Investment took over.

At that time, the company was already turning to the research and development of back-end lithography machines.

There is no way. Let’s not talk about the difficulty of developing front-end lithography machines. The main reason is that there are no domestic conditions to support the development of front-end lithography machines.

At that time, Dong Anshun and his colleagues had already developed a 90-nanometer front-end lithography machine, which was also at a good level in the world.

In terms of media promotion, it is definitely at an advanced level.

After all, there are not many countries in the world that can develop photolithography machines.

At that time, apart from the island countries, the United States and the Netherlands, there was only China.

Because a large number of parts need to be imported from abroad for the 90-nanometer front-end lithography machine developed by Shanghai Microelectronics, none of those manufacturers will sell to Shanghai Microelectronics.

It has been developed but cannot be produced.

At this time, Hengtong Investment brought a large amount of capital to invest in Shencheng Microelectronics and directly began to support domestic parts manufacturers.

After these years of hard work, a complete lithography machine industry chain has finally been established in China.

It is said that it is the photolithography machine industry chain, but in fact this industry chain also has a lot of overlap with other industrial product industry chains.

What does it mean to be able to provide parts to Shencheng Microelectronics?

This shows that these companies are already among the top companies in the country in terms of manufacturing capabilities.

If you want to place some external orders, wouldn’t it become a very simple thing!

We even started to receive orders from abroad.

Gradually, the entire industry chain no longer used Hengtong Investment to subsidize funds and began to develop healthily.

An industrial chain is unhealthy if it relies entirely on continuous capital investment to maintain it.

You have to have your own hematopoietic ability. To put it bluntly, it is profit.

Even if it is not profitable, it still needs to have financing channels.

Just like Internet companies.

Investors must be able to continuously see the future, otherwise they will continue to invest money.
