Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

There are a lot of "garbage" who criticize for the sake of criticism, and create all kinds of black material for the predecessors for the sake of profit.

However, it is the foresight of these ancestors that Daxia can have today's entire industry foundation. In the era of scarce foreign exchange, they tightened their belts and carefully calculated a little bit of family property for future generations.

However, it needs to be recognized that there is still a big gap between Daxia's technical strength and foreign countries, especially compared with equipment companies such as ASML and Applied Materials with a market share of over 80%, the strength is relatively weak and most of them are Equipment manufacturers cannot meet the international mass production process, and it is difficult to enter the production line of international foundry giants.

Of course, at present, Daxia’s semiconductor equipment is also catching up, so Gu Qing chooses more domestic equipment that can be used at the same level or slightly worse. Although some data are somewhat poor, as long as there is potential for transformation and upgrading Space will do.

Are British Thermco's oxidation furnaces good? CLP and Qingdao Runde are not too bad.

American Applied Materials, Great Britain Teer's PVD equipment is good? Is it true that Yanjing Instrument Factory and Shen Zhongke's instruments cannot be used?

Take it back and disassemble the optimization upgrade, and then...

Zhang Yantai, who was overwhelmed by his arrogance, basically pestered Gu Qing for advice whenever he was free. Without him, he had never used some equipment in the production workshop.

During the two-month communication, the whole semiconductor team had a good degree of running-in. After several days of familiarization with the equipment and debugging, the first batch of 12-inch wafers from Kyushu Technology Co., Ltd. was pulled, cut, polished, and cleaned. Made it.

Although we haven't spent a lot of money to buy the best testing equipment, and none of the team members are well-known bigwigs, they are all veteran drivers in this industry, and they have given full marks for general testing.

After contacting the senior vice president of Xiaxin Technology, Gu Qing took the samples, escorted by An Hetang and others, and took the human flesh to Pudong City, Xiaxin Technology's newly built wafer manufacturing plant.

Yu Chengdong heard the news after that, but he was busy with business, so he could only tell Gu Qing to sign the contract carefully.

Naturally, Gu Qing would not relax his vigilance. He would not do the matter of being sold and paying for the money.

Arriving outside the manufacturing plant, Gao Shan has brought some reliable experts and engineers to welcome Gu Qing.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Shan led a group of people into the workshop.

It has to be said that this is a wafer fab with a total investment of more than 67.5 billion Xiayuan, the most advanced Xiaxin technology, and the most advanced manufacturing process in China.

The high degree of automation in the production workshop is like coming to the future factory in the movie.

"Oh, it would be great if this money was given to me..." Boss Gu swallowed, and drove this thought out of his mind.

Xiaxin Technology is not an ordinary company. Its background means that as long as it has achievements, it will not be short of money.

After testing a series of high-end equipment in the testing workshop, the wafer brought by Gu Qing shocked everyone present at Xiaxin Technology.

"This wafer has more than 40 parameters, such as thickness, purity, reduction parameters, process, etc., which are better than the wafers we buy from foreign fabs. It should be Hanxing or Neon. A laboratory product from the side."

"This gentleman is really supernatural. We can get this kind of product, and we finally know their progress on wafer manufacturing. Maybe in five or six years, the 18-inch will be broken through..."

A dull atmosphere suddenly emerged in the office outside the testing workshop.

When I was still trying to catch up, I found that the small country that I used to look down upon, now ran to the forefront and even had to go up a level, which was really shocking.

Seeing this, Gao Shan shook his head: "This is not a product of a foreign laboratory, but a new product of our domestic friends."

As soon as the words fell, the engineers' eyes suddenly shone.

"What? This is the product of our friend??!"

"The ones under Zhongke or the ones in Wuhan?"

"What equipment are they using? Has the manufacturing process changed? How is the output? How about cost control?"

Countless questions swarmed in, Gao Shan patted Gu Qing beside him, and introduced: "This is the boss of this batch of wafer manufacturers, Boss Gu."

Gu Qing stood up bravely, and the group of engineers made a gesture to surround him, but An Hetang walked forward coldly, and the indifference in his eyes instantly brought them back to their senses.

"I understand everyone's urgency, but many of the questions you ask are commercial secrets, so I can't tell you anything, but here I can make it clear.

Twelve-inch and eight-inch wafers of this quality can be mass-produced by our Jiuzhou Technology Company, and the equipment technology is all domestic, so there is no need to worry about being choked. "

Of course, these words only calmed them down for a moment, but when they finally talked about the price, Gao Shan looked shocked.

Twelve-inch wafers, four hundred and ninety Xia yuan a piece!

"Mr. Gu, although we have a large wafer gap, your price is too low, and the research and development expenses and manufacturing costs cannot be recovered."

We must know that since the beginning of 2017, the price of silicon wafers, one of the key materials of the semiconductor industry, has been rising, and the price increase trend has rapidly spread from 12-inch silicon wafers to 8-inch and 6-inch silicon wafers.

Leading foundry companies such as TSMC and UMC have signed short-to-medium-term contracts with major silicon wafer suppliers such as Neon Shin-Etsu and SUMCO. Among them, the contract price of 12-inch silicon wafers has increased to US$120 per piece, compared with the end of last year. $75 up 60%

After the fire at Hanxing’s factory and the acquisition of GlobalFoundries, after capacity adjustments and market shocks, the price of a 12-inch wafer is now $150, or 1,050 Xia Yuan per piece. (For easy calculation, the exchange rate in 2017 is 1:7)

Gu Qing frowned, and then added some requirements: the wafers cannot be resold to others, and Kyushu Technology Company has become the preferred buyer of Xiaxin Technology chips.

Gao Shan agreed to all these small requests.

Four hundred and ninety summer yuan for high-quality domestic wafers, one thousand and fifty summer yuan for foreign wafers that need to wait in line.

Without any hesitation, Gao Shan made a promise to Gu Qing.

As long as the quality is not lower than the average quality of international high-level wafer manufacturing plants, Xiaxin Technology will need as many wafers as Kyushu Technology will ship.

A wafer is the price difference of five hundred and sixty, and there is a guarantee of quantity, that is simply a gift.

In fact, this quotation is the result of Gu Qing asking Xuanwu to calculate thousands of times. The net profit can reach 50%, and the output of 500,000 pieces a month can guarantee a net profit of 120 million.

Subtracting items such as energy, consumables, and personnel wages, Kyushu Technology Company earns a net profit of 120 million yuan a month, and there are tax cuts and subsidies from relevant departments. In this way, it still only earns 120 million yuan. Xia Yuan.

Because Kyushu Technology is still in the tax holiday period...

However, this is only the price for Daxia's friends. When the production is expanded and sold abroad, it will not be this price.
