Chapter 1277 A Precious Promise

If you have money or not, go home for the New Year.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the whole country has entered the Spring Festival travel season again. Duan Yun and his wife are also busy dealing with some matters of the factory for the holidays these days, paying wages in advance, and giving some year-end bonuses to old employees with more than two years, and also arranging personnel The staff of the Ministry helped them buy train tickets to go home in advance.

Although most workers choose to go home for the New Year, some local workers in Shenzhen prefer to stay in the factory to earn three times their salary. The output has been slightly reduced, but the production is still continuing at a daily output of 800-1000 units.

Compared with a large number of workers returning home for the New Year, the technical personnel in the R&D center are basically all on duty, and their working hours are still maintained at about 10 hours a day. As for project leaders such as Zhao Xuewu, the working hours are as long as 12 hours a day .

With less than a week before the Chinese New Year, Duan Yun has brought Zhao Xuewu and other family members of technical directors to Shenzhen, and arranged accommodation for them so that they can also have a reunion year in Shenzhen.

As for the chip factory, Huang Lingyi and Jiang Guowei even worked harder than the technicians at the electronics factory. Cash rewards of up to one million yuan are too tempting for the people in the chip project team, so Duan Yun doesn't need to treat them at all. With any words of encouragement and encouragement, the chip research and development project team can always maintain a very vigorous working state.

"Mr. Huang, tell me the truth. When will the research and development of NAND flash memory chips be completed?" Duan Yun asked Huang Lingyi with a smile in the R&D center laboratory of the chip factory.

"No one can predict this kind of thing..." Huang Lingyi smiled and shook his head, and continued: "But we have set a research and development time node for this project. If everything goes well, the chip will be completed in June this year. The design task, followed by a series of procedures such as manufacturing, packaging, and testing, should be officially put into production around October at the earliest..."

"The design will be completed in June, and production will start in October!?" Duan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Huang Lingyi is a very rigorous and meticulous chip design expert. She never speaks exaggeratedly, so in Duan Yun's view, the things she promised can be accomplished in all likelihood.

Duan Yun must now design a new generation of NAND chips before Hitachi releases the NAND chips they designed next year, and register a patent internationally. This is related to the life and death of Duan Yun's chip factory. The design of the chip can be completed, and it can be put into production in October. I am naturally very happy in my heart.

If the task can be completed according to what Huang Lingyi said, then Duan Yun's chip factory will be able to occupy a very favorable position in the next step of the international chip industry competition.

"The current progress is going smoothly, and I am also grateful to Manager Duan for providing me with such a good R&D environment and allowing me to meet so many like-minded colleagues. I feel that working with them makes me full of strength every day!" Huang Lingyi said with a smile.

"You are all the best chip talents in our country. Heroes cherish heroes." Duan Yun also smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "And what you are doing now is creating history. The future of China's chip industry is in your hands. !"

If it were someone else, Duan Yunguan's chicken soup for the soul would basically be useless, but Huang Lingyi liked it very much. As a top expert who has worked in the system for decades and has always enjoyed various halos and honors For them, being affirmed by others and praise is also a kind of reward for them, so when dealing with people like Huang Lingyi, in addition to allowing them to live a decent and glamorous life, Duan Yun should always talk to them about his feelings and spare no expense in praise and praise. Praise, and only in this way, can inspire their greatest enthusiasm for work.

"We just did what we could." Sure enough, a smile appeared on Huang Lingyi's face when Duan Yun said that.

"In the future, you should pay attention to combining work and rest in your work, and don't wear yourself out. You are the backbone of our company's technology." Duan Yun settled down, and then said: "In addition, I suggest that you take a day or two to rest during the Chinese New Year. I'll help you pick them up, if I really exhaust you, then I'll be a sinner."

"Thank you, Manager Duan." Huang Lingyi said gratefully.

"Okay, then you guys are busy, I'll look elsewhere first."

After Duan Yun finished speaking, he smiled at everyone, turned and left the laboratory.

After walking out of the R&D center, Duan Yun sat in his car and fell into a short thought.

Although Huang Lingyi promised to complete the NADA chip within this year, for Duan Yun, there are still many problems to be solved if he wants to occupy a place in the international chip industry for a long time.

One of them is to ensure that they have the most advanced photolithography machines needed to make chips.

Speaking of lithography machines, the first thing people think of later generations is ASML in the Netherlands.

In fact, in the 80s and [-]s, our country already had domestic lithography machines.

The first domestically produced lithography machine, the GK-1 semi-automatic proximity lithography machine, was born in 3. At that time, ASML in the Netherlands was not even established.

The lithography machine is the crystallization of the integration of large-scale high-precision technology and engineering limits, and is known as the "Pearl in the Crown" of the integrated circuit industry chain.

Japan's Nikon and Canon began to enter the field of lithography machines in the late 20s, and China's use of lithography technology to manufacture integrated circuits began roughly at the same time.

But China's lithography machine industry can be described in one sentence, that is: get up early and catch up late.

In 1965, my country's first integrated circuit came out successively in BJ, SJZ and Shanghai. In September 1, the first national large-scale integrated circuit industry conference was held. At the Conference on Material Research, the proposed goal was to break through the key technologies of large-scale integrated circuit technology, equipment, basic materials, etc. from 1974 to 9. The driver department organized the Beijing-Shanghai Electronics Industry Battle Equipment research and development, breakthroughs in super-power steel plates, photoresist ultra-pure reagents, high-purity gas magnetic fields, deflection electron beam coating machines and other material equipment.

1975年12月第2次全国大规模集成电路会议在上海召开，1977年1月第3次全国大规模集成电路会议在贵州召开，这三次会议可以说直接导致了上世纪80年代前后，中科院系统电子部系统地方各研发单位光刻机成果的第1次大爆发。
