Rebirth of a technological power

Uh-huh!

A glimmer of light came on.

Lithography machines have undergone significant changes.

[Item: Top lithography machine]

[Experience value: 0/10000000]

[Optimization points: 300]

Looking at the changes on the virtual panel, Cai Jin showed a bright smile.

During this period of time, I focused my time and energy on this lithography machine, and finally upgraded this lithography machine to the level of a top-level lithography machine!

All components including lasers, beam straighteners, energy controllers, beam shape settings, shutters, energy detectors, and masks have reached the world's most advanced level.

The minimum industrial node has reached 22nm~1nm!

This means that with this photolithography machine, 1nm chips can be produced!

The 1nm chip is also the ceiling of silicon-based chips.

If ASML were to follow the rules, one of these cutting-edge photolithography machines would cost RMB 4 billion!

And you can’t just buy it if you want to.

Cai Jin began to organize, and he also wanted to construct his own patent barriers.

From last year to now, ‘Future Technology’ has applied for a total of 35,000 patents, including both domestic and international patents!

Some patents have been applied for, and some patents have not yet been applied for.

After sorting out all the technical information, Cai Jin organized it and arranged for people from the patent department to apply for a patent.

And just then, the phone rang.

Cai Jin took a look and saw that it was Mr. Yu's call.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Cai, I have everything ready now. I only owe Dongfeng. When will you be able to provide photolithography machines and photoresist?"

When Cai Jin heard this, he came to urge him.

At this time, Cai Jin was feeling quite relaxed as he had developed a top-notch photolithography machine.

"A photolithography machine has been produced, and you can come and get it at any time!"

"Really!?" Mr. Yu said happily.

"It's absolutely true! Even the photoresist is done!" Cai Jin said with a smile.

"Then when is the best time for me to pick it up?"

Cai Jin thought for a moment: "Any time!"

After hanging up the phone, Cai Jin posted an announcement on the official website, officially announcing that he had conquered a complete set of lithography machine technology, and then attached a photo of the lithography machine. It was huge in size, smooth in lines, and very good-looking.

Such a lithography machine can produce 500 million chips per year and requires 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. The price, Cai Jin has set, is 100 million yuan!

You know, ASML's most advanced lithography machine is not as good as it in performance, but it sells for 2.7 billion yuan!

The official website of ‘Future Technology’ now has more than 20 million fans. As soon as this announcement was issued, it quickly caused an uproar on the Internet.

No one expected that "Future Technology" suddenly released a large satellite!

"Future technology flow~~disadvantages (broken voice)"

"The semiconductor industry continues to surprise, and China's semiconductor has taken another important step! (Like)"

" @ASML, didn't you say that even if you give China the drawings, China can't build a lithography machine? What is this (sneaky laugh)"

"There is Huawei now, and there is future technology in the future! China has great hope (thumbs up)"

"..."

The Internet was abuzz, and Cai Jin also received a call from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

"Hello, I am Director Ye of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and this is Comrade Cai Jin!"

"Hello, Director Ye, I'm Cai Jin!" Cai Jin felt a little weird, the response from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was really fast.

It had not been ten minutes since he made the announcement.

"Comrade Cai Jin, I would like to ask, is your company's announcement true? Have you really developed a world-leading lithography machine?"

Cai Jin smiled and said, "Of course it's true!"

"This matter is of great importance. Our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will send experts to confirm it. Is it okay?"

"I'm sorry, Director Ye, this lithography machine will be delivered to some Chinese integrated circuit manufacturing companies today..." Cai Jin said slightly apologetically: "If you want to see it, you can contact Mr. Yu."

"That's it... OK, if it's true, your future technology will make great contributions to the country!"

Solving the semiconductor problem will mean that China will further improve its industrial system and further improve its industrial level.

With this confidence, you can speak forcefully internationally.

Otherwise, there are obvious shortcomings, and people will get in your way at every turn.

With his neck stuck, how could he speak forcefully?

An hour later, a transport truck arrived at the small factory.

The porters carefully put the huge photolithography machine onto the transport truck.

At the same time, there are 200 kilograms of semiconductor photoresist.

After the inspection, the transport truck left!

The transport vehicle will go directly to Jiangcheng.

As soon as Huaxia Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was established, Mr. Yu led people to Jiangcheng non-stop to start negotiations on the "Optical Valley" Hongxin project.

When the Hongxin Semiconductor project was first established, it attracted a lot of attention because of its name as a 100-billion-dollar project, and it targeted chip process systems of 14 nanometers and below 7 nanometers. This project also received a lot of policy preferences and support.

It’s a pity that it still became an unfinished project!

Mr. Yu is optimistic about Jiangcheng. After all, this is a place where universities gather and has a large number of high-quality talents.

Negotiating cooperation with Jiangcheng, the two sides hit it off immediately, and Hongxin was directly kicked out.

Cai Jin closed the factory door and started assembling the photolithography machine!

A top-notch photolithography machine is not enough!

Even if production is run 24 hours a day without interruption for a second, it will only produce 500 million chips a year!

And you know, a Huawei mobile phone has 120 chips!

100 million mobile phones equals 12 billion chips!

Not to mention, there are tablets, laptops, sports bracelets, smart bracelets, smart screens and other products!

Conservative calculations show that Huawei alone needs 36 billion chips a year!

After assembling four photolithography machines in succession, Cai Jin was a little tired and confused.

After assembling it, continue to produce and accumulate experience points as before, and then upgrade step by step.

For more than half a month, Cai Jin manufactured a total of 80 photolithography machines.

Whenever a photolithography machine meets the requirements, Cai Jin sends the photolithography machine out.

Of course, this does not mean that all are top-level lithography machines, there are also high-end lithography machines, mid-to-high-end lithography machines, and mid-range lithography machines!

After all, not all chips need to be high-precision chips!

On the contrary, 28nm process chips are in greatest demand!

As photolithography machines were shipped to Jiangcheng one after another, Huaxia Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd. recruited people on a large scale and began to produce chips. The impact was earth-shattering.

The world's most advanced top-level lithography machine costs RMB 100 million each. A high-end lithography machine of the same type as ASML's most advanced lithography machine costs RMB 50 million. As for mid-to-high-end and mid-range lithography machines, the price It's even lower.

As soon as this news came out, the first and biggest impact was on ASML. After all, one of ASML's most advanced lithography machines costs more than 2 billion yuan, and each one makes 670 million yuan. ASML can't kill ASML. Reduce manufacturing costs to such low levels.

After all, since engineers at ASML only work 4.5 hours a day and receive high wages, labor costs must be very high!

ASML's stock price is turbulent. Even though good news continues to come out of various cooperation negotiations with foundries, everyone in the stock market has lost confidence in it.

In the market, confidence is often the most important.

When the market loses confidence, people will sell stocks crazily, fearing that the stocks in their hands will become worthless.

Even if you cut the meat at this time, it will be more cost-effective than turning the stock into waste paper by then.

A giant that just announced its financial report not long ago, with sales of 14 billion euros last year, a gross profit margin of 48.6%, a net profit of 3.6 billion euros, and a market value of 220 billion U.S. dollars, collapsed in less than a month time.
