Super Dimension Technology Era

Next, Northern Huachuang Company carried out a comprehensive operating system update for its products.

After replacing the system, all devices have experienced performance optimization to varying degrees.

If the previous Norin Huachuang products could only be mid-range, then after system optimization, they have become mid-range, and a small number of them have even reached the mid-to-upper level.

The same situation has occurred in other companies. The software support of Sisi Society has raised the overall semiconductor equipment industry in China to an upper-middle level.

In particular, China Micro Semiconductor's dielectric etching machine has been upgraded from the 16nm level to the 12nm level.

This shows how important the impact of software systems on precision instruments is.

The operating system of Sisishe can be continuously optimized and adjusted according to the device, allowing the device to explode into complete performance.

As various enterprises, thinking societies, and universities join forces, operating systems, industrial design software, and new materials are rapidly updated.

China's semiconductor equipment industry is advancing by leaps and bounds. The traditional semiconductor equipment overlords such as Japan, the United States, and the Western Continent Alliance did not realize at this time that Huang Mingzhe's semiconductor equipment army was quickly approaching them.

…

SMIC, Jiangcheng factory.

Li Weiguang's knowledge of semiconductor equipment these days was ruthlessly rubbed on the ground by the Thinking Society.

First, China Micro Semiconductor came to update the software, then Northern Huachuang, and then companies such as Xinweiyuan. These companies seemed to have made an appointment and carried out rapid system updates for the equipment they produced at SMIC.

Originally, SMIC did not pay too much attention to this matter. After all, these domestic semiconductor equipment have many minor problems.

However, during the subsequent production and research and development processes, they discovered that these devices were different, as if they had been updated.

"Mr. Zhao, are domestic semiconductor equipment companies taking hormones?" Li Weiguang looked at the report in his hand and felt incredible.

Zhao Jun was not surprised. These domestic semiconductor equipment companies have been making constant moves recently. Even if the United States continues to expand the scope of the WTO, semiconductor equipment companies continue to become stronger, and the speed is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Egami Zhou, who had just returned from the United States, originally planned to go to Tokyo Electronics to discuss the import of some equipment, but now he doesn't have to go.

"Are Micro Semiconductor's etching machines already capable of achieving 12 nanometers?" Jiang Shangzhou asked in confusion.

Li Weiguang handed the test report to the other party: "After they replaced the parts and systems, they can already produce on the 12nm process, and the stability is much stronger than before."

"Damn..." Jiang Shangzhou couldn't help but said as he turned over: "This stability is better than that of Ram Research Company."

Li Weiguang added: "China Micro Semiconductor sent a letter yesterday. The 10-nanometer and 7-nanometer etching machines they are developing may be launched by the end of this year."

"So fast?" Jiang Shangzhou exclaimed.

Zhao Jun on the side shook his head and said seriously: "Not only AMEC, but also semiconductor equipment manufacturers such as Northern Huachuang are sprinting to become world-class or top-notch in the world. Semiconductor equipment may change."

"How did they do it?"

"In the past two months, Shenguang Instruments seems to have acquired and participated in many semiconductor equipment companies." Zhao Jun explained.

Jiang Shangzhou opened his mouth wide and asked. He felt that he had not been to the United States for two months, but for twenty years, and he could not take hormones so quickly.

"Since domestic semiconductor equipment is so powerful, we must work harder."

SMIC quickly learned why various semiconductor equipment manufacturers have become so powerful.

After Shenguang Instrument came to install the industrial operating system and industrial design software for them, Li Weiguang and others were really surprised that Thinking Society had such powerful software power.

The simulation space technology and finite element inverse analysis technology in industrial design software make chip design simpler and more convenient.

The operating systems of those foreign equipment were also modified. Since SMIC would not purchase equipment from them in the future, Shenguang Instrument Company simply modified the system.

This arrogant operation made Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang and others' eyes twitch. If they damaged these equipment, they would really be doomed.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful these foreign devices are, they can't withstand the horror of artificial intelligence. They directly block the network, modify the underlying programs, and then update the system to overwrite them.

These foreign devices that have optimized their systems also have improved performance.

SMIC's overall equipment has almost improved by one to half a level, and it is now more comfortable with the research and development of 12-nanometer chip technology.

…

Go to Shanghai.

ASML branch.

For several months, they investigated Shenguang Instruments and the Thinking Society behind it, and only then did they realize that this opponent was very difficult to deal with.

Especially now that Shenguang Instruments' lithography machines are constantly being shipped, ASML's mid-range market in China has been completely defeated.

As for the high-end market.

Max, who had been in China for several months to investigate, said seriously into the phone: "Mr. President, we must ask the VA to lift the ban. Now the VA has become the protective umbrella of Shenguang Instruments. It is restricting..."

"..." How could it be that Peter Wennink, who was far away in the Netherlands, didn't know that VAX was now helping the Divine Light Instrument.

"Max, you should secure customers in China as soon as possible. Even if you reduce prices, you can't let them take away all the market."

"But……"

Peter Wennink interrupted him: "Max, I am communicating about the restrictions of the VA, but you know the speed of bureaucrats."

Max, who is in Shanghai, is also very helpless. Officials in Western countries are world-famous for their speed of processing. It is estimated that Shenguang Instruments will have sold a large number of lithography machines by the time the VAI lifts its restrictions.

Max said in a heavy tone: "Mr. President, this matter is very serious. I hope you can solve it as soon as possible. The changes in China's semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry have changed. It is difficult for you to understand my fear at this time without coming here in person."

"All right!"

After hanging up the phone.

Max looked at the busy Shanghai. Although the sun was shining brightly, he was feeling cold all over at this moment.

There is a China Semiconductor Equipment Investigation Report on the table.

His intuition told him that there must be something brewing in the Shenguang Instrument and the thinking society behind it. Everything was like the oppressive silence before the storm.

But he was powerless at this time. Those politicians thought that by restricting China's purchase of precision instruments, they could restrict China's high-tech industry; and large Western companies also lacked attention to China.

Only when he came to China in person did he feel deeply afraid of this country, but those politicians would not hear his inner fear.

Restricting China will only arouse China's courage.

Why are the semiconductors of South Korea so bright and beautiful on the surface, but secretly they are being devoured by Japan and the United States?

Because the upstream supply chain of South Korea's semiconductor industry is controlled by Japan and the United States, the industrial chain cannot be self-sufficient, and the domestic market is not as large as that of China.

China's semiconductor industry looks very weak, but is actually very tenacious. Even if the West completely blocks it, China can still form a self-circulation within the country.

This is an indirect consequence of Batumi and Waxie. After all, countries are like people. It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality.

Suppression can only make China stronger.
