Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 115: Multi-party layout exposed, chip overtaking in a corner!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian had already lost all sleep and started packing his clothes and luggage to return to Shenzhen.

If Chen Xing can really get a particle accelerator, then he can try to use magnetic confinement to replicate the theoretically conjectured”lithography factory”

but!

If you want to build a lithography factory, you need more than just a particle accelerator.

The one billion he mentioned at the beginning is actually just the price of an ordinary small particle accelerator. If you want to buy the best and most advanced particle accelerator, such as the LHC particle accelerator in Switzerland, it may cost tens of billions of dollars.

You know, the 20-nanometer process DUV lithography machine assembled by the Dutch ASML company is sold for only about 200 million US dollars.

Building a photolithography factory costs tens of billions, and there are various uncertainties.

Buy a photolithography machine, spend more than one billion, and you can stably produce chips

Comparing the two, you will understand why no one has thought of this solution before.

Setting up a photolithography factory is not only difficult, but also has no reference experience. It is equivalent to crossing the river by feeling for the stones. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces, and all the money invested will be wasted.

Moreover, setting up a particle accelerator is only the first step. The second step requires a stable and large enough supply of electrical energy to maintain the operation of the particle accelerator. In addition to electrical energy, the vertical and horizontal dispersion of photons, light source stability, and controllable magnetic confinement must also be considered. sexual issues

If the West had not restricted Longguo companies from purchasing EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, it is estimated that no one would have ever proposed the concept of lithography factories.

……

the other side

Longxing Technology Company Headquarters

After Chen Xing silently wrote down the equipment needed, he returned to the office negotiation area and explained the equipment for making photoresist.

Ren Guofei frowned. The moment he heard about the ultrafine shear mixer, molecular dispersion equipment, and reactor, he guessed what Chen Xing wanted to do.

Rebus was even more straightforward and asked directly:”Ultrafine particle shear mixer and molecular dispersion equipment, Mr. Chen, do you want to conquer photoresist?”

Photoresist naturally does not need to be explained too much. It is the most important part of chip production. Equipment, formulas, and talents are all blocked. It is the most tightly blocked part of chip materials.

If the restriction level of semiconductor silicon wafers is level 20, then the restriction level of photoresist is level 100!

The CEOs sitting here, although their company attributes do not involve the chip field, but behind the scenes, who knows how many fields of industry they have secretly deployed?

Besides!

The field of mobile phones includes chips

If chips can be localized, domestic manufacturers can usher in spring.

If they want to localize chips, they cannot fail to understand the two most important production materials, semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist.

“Does Mr. Chen have a recipe?”

Luo Hao is even more straightforward

When he heard Chen Xing talking about photoresist production equipment, he immediately thought that Longxing Technology also had a layout, and might be short of equipment now.

Several bosses looked at Chen Xing in confusion. They all wanted to know the answer.

However

Chen Xing smiled faintly, nodded slightly and said:”Academician Qu Cheng introduced several experts in the corresponding fields to me. At present, how to obtain equipment is a big problem.”

Undecided when things happen, it’s hard to pass the blame.

Is it reasonable for Qu Cheng, an academician from both academies and academies, to know a few talents in the photoresist field?

Anyone who is talented in the photoresist field knows that the specific formula is very reasonable, right?

Besides, there is no need for Ren Guofei and Rebus to seek verification.

As Chen Xing brought up Qu Cheng’s name, several bosses suddenly felt it was reasonable. After all, he was the top academician in Long Country.

Even academicians can’t shake people’s words!

Who is okay?

Ren Guofei was silent for a long time, and then said:”With Mr. Qu’s help, maybe we can actually make it. I’ll ask you about these equipment later, but it may take a little longer.”

Equipment for producing photoresist is generally imported, and the booking period for imported equipment is inherently long. Coupled with restrictions from many factors, no one knows when it will be available.

“Then I’ll trouble Mr. Ren.”

Chen Xing is not in a hurry. Godson International CEO Gao Yongming also said that they still have photoresist stock.

The top priority now is to complete the production of 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers first.

“I’ll also help you get equipment”

Rebus also echoed, showing a faint smile and said:”I’ll see if I can do it for you in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. The restrictions there are not that big.”

Duan Yongping:”？？？”

Luo Hao:”？？？”

Chen Yong:”？？？”

Several people present, including Chen Xing and Ren Guofei, were shocked. Can overtaking in a corner be done like this?

Others are overtaking in curves technically, but you, Rebus, are overtaking in curves technically?

But there is one thing to say!

Do manufacturers of equipment in the semiconductor-related field not want to sell equipment?

No!

They want to sell, but they dare not!

Whether it is photoresist or semiconductor wafer production equipment, most of them come from Neon Island and Germany.

They simply did not dare to stand on the opposite side of the West, so they could only obey the arrangements and obediently set restrictions on Longguo’s enterprises.

Now the question arises, what if it is not purchased by Longguo Enterprises?

If you restrict enterprises in the Dragon Kingdom, what does it have to do with our enterprises in the Ancient Xiang Kingdom?

Will the ancient Xiangguo enterprise buy it?

It is precisely because he thought of the possibility of”overtaking in a corner” that Rebus spared no effort to delve into the mobile phone market of the ancient Elephant Kingdom.

He can’t take the money with him, but he can build a scientific research institute in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom and make a holding agreement to allow local companies in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom to purchase equipment. This way he can always spend the money, right?

The most important thing is that although the ancient Xiang Kingdom restricts the outflow of foreign capital, it does not restrict the outflow of equipment. There is no concept of chip restrictions in their country.

“Good guy, Rebus, you know how to overtake in corners and be flexible.”

Luo Hao called Rebus by his real name, with a bit of complaint in his tone, as if to say, why don’t you bring your brothers with you to”overtake in the corner”?”？

“Don’t say it yet!”

Ren Guofei’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and he lowered his voice and said:”Buying it under the name of a company from another country and then secretly transporting it back to China may really solve the problem of lack of equipment.”

As the saying goes, the meal must be eaten in one bite and the road must be walked step by step.

Now Longguo’s semiconductor industry is short of both equipment and talent.

If the equipment problem can be solved first, talents can still be cultivated slowly.

Chen Xing looked at Rebus with a hint of admiration. He could think of such a method of”overtaking in corners”. He was worthy of being the representative of a self-made business CEO in the Dragon Kingdom.

“In addition to photoresist equipment, how to solve the problem of semiconductor silicon wafers?”

Duan Yongping asked

Chip production goes beyond photoresist, semiconductor silicon wafers are also a top priority

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yong continued:”As for semiconductor silicon wafers, Shanghai Silicon Group should be able to handle it. They don’t have 12-inch wafers, but they still have 6-inch and 8-inch 10N quality semiconductor wafers.”

“They do”

Since they were all here to solve the problem, Chen Xing did not hide it and took the matter of the conversation with Shanghai Silicon Group to court.

“However, the large-scale use of 6-inch and 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers will significantly increase the cost of chip production. I am willing to pay more to buy them, but what worries me is whether the West will monitor the order supply of Shanghai Silicon Group.”

“Now Shanghai Silicon Group and Loongson International are both undercover and have not been caught. I actually don’t want to implicate them.”

What they can think of is impossible for the West to think of

It is no secret that Shanghai Silicon Group can produce 6-inch and 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers by itself. It is impossible for them not to pay attention to it.

Originally, there was no market for 6-inch and 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers. If you suddenly produce them in large quantities, it means that they are indeed Qingzhou chips manufactured by Loongson International.

“well!”

Luo Hao sighed and said with a confused expression:”That means that in addition to solving the problem of photoresist, we also need to solve the problem of semiconductor silicon wafers?”

“It should be”

Rebus also looked troubled

loadAdv(7,3);

At this moment, Ren Guofei stood up and said:”In the field of semiconductor silicon wafers, I have actually invested in several companies.”

“！！！”

Rebus and others were shocked

Good guy!

On the surface, they are selling mobile phones, but behind the scenes, they are secretly developing the chip industry, right?

But we can’t blame them. Who said Gaotong Company was a bully and liked to raise prices every now and then, making a group of Longguo mobile phone company CEOs miserable?

I was really forced to work on chips.…

“Actually……”

Seeing that everyone had spoken out, Duan Yongping no longer concealed anything and said calmly:”Our blue and green factory also has a semiconductor wafer layout and can independently produce 6-inch silicon wafers.”

“Same here”

Ren Guofei exposed his face and said unexpectedly

“So now, has the semiconductor silicon wafer problem been solved?”Luo Hao looked at everyone. He didn’t expect his colleagues to be so arrogant.

A person who deeply cultivates the ancient Xiang Kingdom and buys equipment in a curved way

Two investments in the semiconductor silicon wafer industry have achieved 6-inch silicon wafer production.

He…is still doing live broadcasts……

The gap between mobile phone manufacturers and manufacturers is too big, right?

However, it’s not over yet. Chen Yong, another co-founder of the blue and green factory, said it openly when he saw it. He didn’t intend to hide it. He also said frankly:”I have a cracked version of DUV lithography machine here, but it is a 48nm process. of”

Ren Guofei:”……”

Rebus:”……”

Duan Yongping:”……”

Even the cracked version of light���We have all the machines, and now the bosses of each manufacturer have put their trump cards on the table.

Chen Xing was surprised and asked quickly:”In other words, we have our own lithography machine, so where is it now?”

“Guancheng”

Chen Yong replied without hesitation

Duan Yongping took a deep breath, looked at his partner and said:”I didn’t expect that, Brother Chen, you hide it deeper than me.”

“each other”

Chen Yong laughed and said

Although Blue and Green Factory is one company, it has two sub-brands. Duan Yongping and Chen Yong each hold power.

Chen Yong did not expect that Duan Yongping had made semiconductor silicon wafers, and Duan Yongping also did not expect that Chen Yong secretly cracked a 48-nanometer process photolithography machine.

Luo Hao, who had witnessed the whole process, was now a little confused. He suddenly felt that Rebus, Duan Yongping, and Chen Yong were so strange.……

I wonder if he didn’t lay out the chip production process?

On the other hand, Chen Xing was a little excited now and couldn’t stop trembling all over. Chen Yong’s news was so timely.

If they have their own photolithography machine, even if it is only a 48-nanometer process, they may be able to use multiple exposure technology to produce a 28-nanometer baseband chip.

Assuming that 28nm open-space baseband chips can be mass-produced and the mass production of Longxing X1 mobile phones is maintained, what will the West think?

They will definitely be thinking, who made this horse?

Loongson International can be generous and let Dutch engineers investigate, so that it can clear away suspicion and continue to hide in the dark to help Longxing Technology produce 14-nanometer Qingzhou processor chips.

This photolithography machine is very critical!

Rebus had doubts. He looked at Chen Xing and asked:”Can the 28-nanometer Kaitian baseband chip be produced with a 48-nanometer photolithography machine?”

“How about redesigning?”

Ren Guofei proposed

They don’t know about multiple exposure technology, and they still think that 48nm lithography machines can only produce 48nm process chips.

Seeing that everyone had taken out their”truck cards”, Chen Xing no longer concealed it and responded directly:”Multiple exposure technology can solve the accuracy problem. The 48nm process lithography machine may theoretically be able to produce 12nm chips.”

“Cough cough…cough cough cough……”

Luo Hao swallowed the tea and choked on Chen Xing’s words.

Can 48nm process lithography machine produce 12nm chips? ? ?

Ren Guofei, Rebus, and Duan Yongping all showed doubts, and Chen Yong quickly asked:”How to produce this?”

The 48nm process DUV lithography machine is currently obsolete, and Western sanctions have also been relaxed a lot, so he was able to get one and have someone complete the crack.

His thoughts on solving the problem were also very simple, just thinking about taking precautions for a rainy day.

He was afraid that the West would impose comprehensive sanctions on the chip field, so he secretly cracked a photolithography machine just in case he needed it.

Now you say it can produce 12nm chips?

In Chen Yong’s heart, that 48-nanometer process photolithography machine is no less than turning scrap metal into gold. It is a pure treasure!

“multiple exposure technology”

Chen Xing said six words lightly

Even if you tell them, without Lin Tian’s personal demonstration, they would not know what the photolithography principle is.

“Multiple exposures?”

“What is multiple exposure?”

“Mr. Chen, does Longxing Technology have talents in the photolithography field?”

When several people were confused, Ren Guofei showed a look of realization and analyzed:”So that’s the case. No wonder Loongson International can OEM 14nm Qingzhou chips for you. It turns out that it uses this so-called multiple exposure technology!”

“Didn’t you buy an EUV lithography machine?”Rebus was stunned. He thought Loongson International had an EUV lithography machine.

They were actually guessing before, who was the OEM for Longxing Technology Company’s 14nm Qingzhou processor chip?

Loongson International?

It obviously does not have an EUV lithography machine!

Without EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, how to produce 14nm chips?

Now!

The truth is out!

They, a local company in the Dragon Kingdom, once again achieved overtaking in corners and used technology to make up for the lack of equipment accuracy.

From this”trump card” conversation, every boss present gained a lot, especially Chen Yong from Blue and Green Factory.

He finally realized how correct his original decision was. Taking precautions could help him develop at some point in the future.

“Now that semiconductor silicon wafers are available, photoresist seems to have no restrictions on Longxing Technology, right? Why not ask Gao Yongming and others to send a few engineers over to see if the 48nm photolithography machine can produce 28nm open-space baseband chips?”

Chen Yong suggested

He can’t wait to see his lithography machine produce mainstream chips

If 28nm chips can really be produced, it will really be a matter of course when the ship reaches the end of the road and everything will be bright again!

However, before anyone else could speak, Chen Xing showed a faint smile and said unhurriedly:”You don’t need to find Loongson International, I have someone here who knows the multiple exposure technology.””

Luo Hao:”……”

OK OK!

Good, good, good!

Thinking!

It’s really because he didn’t plan for chip production!

There are other people here, those who make silicon wafers make silicon wafers, those who make equipment make equipment, those who make photolithography machines make photolithography machines, and there is one who understands multiple exposure technology and breaks through the limitations of photolithography machines!

Just him!
