Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1245 Huge Rewards
After leaving the chip workshop, Duan Yun, Huang Lingyi and others immediately came to the small conference room to calculate the chip cost.

The pass rate of 84% made Duan Yun very satisfied. In fact, he thought at first that 75% would be good, but he did not expect that this precision chip production line could maintain such a high level after being dismantled and shipped from Japan to China, and then reinstalled and debugged. The pass rate is very rare.

A high pass rate means low cost. It also shows that the preparatory work of Duanyun Chip Factory is very sufficient and successful. The next step is how to improve the process and continue to reduce costs and chip performance problems.

The cost of chips can be said to be an important indicator of the survival of chip companies.

For example, in 1983, Samsung successfully produced 64-bit chips, but the price of semiconductors plummeted at this time. Japanese and American companies relied on technology and cost advantages to significantly reduce prices. All the way down to a low of 64 cents.The cost of Samsung to produce a 4-bit chip is 5 US dollars, which means that every chip produced will cost 25 US dollar, which directly caused Samsung to lose nearly 64 million US dollars in 1.3. 1983 million US dollars was a huge amount in the 3s. Pen very large numbers too.

Therefore, under the premise of ensuring quality and yield, improving the process and reducing costs will become an important goal of the chip factory in the next stage.

After some calculations, the current price of each flash chip in Tianyin Chip Factory is about RMB 110. This price is obviously a bit high, and it has not included various costs such as R&D expenses and equipment maintenance and depreciation. Otherwise, , the overall cost will reach about 200 yuan.

But even so, this kind of storage chip is much cheaper than the old-fashioned storage chip developed in China in the 70s, because the yield rate of early domestic chip factories was not high, generally only about 30% to 40%, and the price of a single storage chip can reach As high as 300~400 yuan, and the performance is far inferior to flash memory chips with a three-micron process, so this product is at least the highest-end and cheapest memory chip in China.

However, if it is placed internationally, because this is a new generation of storage chips, there is no reference price. However, if this Flash memory chip proves to have great commercial value, Duan Yun's products will soon be recognized. Countries such as Europe, America and Japan, which have higher process technology and lower production costs, are defeated.

So now that Duan Yun has the first-mover advantage, he must continue to maintain this advantage, and he will launch a new generation of NAND flash memory chips as soon as possible.

"Everyone, although our chip factory has successfully put into trial production today, I need to remind everyone that this is just a small staged victory, and if we want to keep this victory, we still have a lot to do..." Duan Yun looked serious, and then said: "Cost and quality are the lifeline of our chip company, and our company is far from being able to rest easy. Here, I will give you the tasks of our chip R&D center in the next stage..."

Duan Yun knew in his heart that he had to keep the technicians in the R&D center under certain pressure for a long time, so that they had a sense of crisis and urgency.

"...Recently, everyone has been working hard. I know this. The trial production of the chip was successful. I decided to give everyone a two-day holiday. The company will also give everyone a cash reward. Each project team will be rewarded with 3 yuan. , the project leader is 1, and the rest will be distributed to other project team technicians." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "In addition, the official production date of our Tianyin chip factory is scheduled to be December 12 at the end of the year. A grand commissioning ceremony will be held here, and many leaders will be invited...Mr. Huang, you have to prepare a speech, and then you will speak on the spot on behalf of the technical R&D members of our Tianyin chip factory."

"Manager Duan, I'm not very good at talking..." Huang Lingyi said with some embarrassment.

Huang Lingyi was still a little moved in her heart. Speaking in front of many leaders and guests at the commissioning ceremony, it could be seen that Duan Yun attached great importance to it. While being moved, she was also a little nervous.

"It's okay, just go up and say a few words. You are the pillar of our chip research and development team. This time the chip factory can be put into production smoothly, and you are the biggest contributor." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "In addition, our next-generation NAND The research and development of scattered memory chips depends on you, and I hope you will not disappoint the factory's expectations of you."

After all, improving the existing flash chip production process can only reduce the cost of some chip production, and the upgraded NAND chip is the most important thing for Duan Yun. This product will determine the future of Tianyin Chip Factory.

"Okay." Huang Lingyi nodded upon hearing that.

"After this production, in addition to improving the process to reduce the production cost of the chip, you have to focus your time and energy on the research and development of NAND flash memory chips. If you can design this chip before the end of next year, We will reward your project team with great rewards!" Duan Yun thought for a while, and then said: "The specific reward plan... This is good, before the end of next year, every time you complete the research and development tasks of NAND flash memory chips one day ahead of schedule, I will give you more rewards." Reward your project team with 1 yuan, and I will print out this reward regulation later, sign my name, stamp it with the official seal, and post it in the office of your R&D team in the future, and announce it in the meeting thing!"

"A reward of 1 yuan a day in advance!?"

Hearing the reward rules proposed by Duan Yun, members of Huang Lingyi's project team immediately exclaimed.

This kind of bonus was absolutely unheard of by them, and it was even a bit exaggerated and terrifying.

365 days a year, if the development is successful at the beginning of the year, it means that Huang Lingyi's chip research and development project team can get a bonus of more than 300 million, which is shared among more than 50 members of the current project team, each of which is nearly 6!

Of course, the development process of the chip cannot be so fast, but even if the chip is successfully developed one or two months in advance, each person can get at least more than 1 yuan, which means that after the project development is over, all project team members will Become a millionaire!
And the reason why Duan Yun gave such an exaggerated amount of rewards was of course his own calculations.

Because by 1989, Japan's Hitachi will develop the world's first NAND flash memory chip, and this chip will soon replace the NOR flash memory chip and quickly occupy the market for storage chips.

Therefore, Duan Yun must develop the NAND flash memory chip before Hitachi, register the patent at home and abroad, and release it globally, so if he cannot develop this chip in 1988, then he will miss it. An opportunity to seize the commanding heights of the world's storage chips!
