Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1339 Verification Success
The next moment, Wu Gang and others carefully took over the mask, and then operated the machine to start production.

Everyone at the scene held their breath, because for the leaders and experts who came to visit this time, this is a moment to witness history. Once successful, it means that China's chip production capacity has reached the world's advanced level.

However, being able to produce chips with a micron process and fully mastering this technology are two different things. If you really want to understand all the technologies of the entire machine, it will take a lot of time and manpower.

There was a rustling sound from the machine, and it only took about 10 minutes to process all 20 wafers, and the next step was to check the pass rate of the products.

This is the mask brought by BJ's experts, which is actually an imitation chip mask of a foreign chip. Speaking of which, the domestic deception ability is not weak. The key is that there is no advanced production equipment. Out of confidentiality, BJ's experts do not Duan Yun was not told the purpose and principle of this chip, but it can be seen from the dignified and cautious eyes of several experts that these masks are very precious.

The processed wafers are quickly sent from Area C to Area A, and there are still several production processes that will eventually be sent to the inspection room for inspection, and the qualified rate of the finished product will be known at that time.

The human naked eye obviously cannot see the situation inside the chip, but chip companies have their own circuit testing equipment, which can identify the process accuracy of the internal circuit of the chip, thereby verifying some technical parameters of the four lithography machines.

The whole process is faster than people imagined, and these BJ experts are also very professional. After visiting the testing room, they will test the chips just produced together with the staff here.

"It's out." At this time, a BJ expert came to Hu Qi with a test sheet that just came out, and said excitedly: "The chip yield rate is 83%, and their chip production line can indeed produce one-micron process." integrated circuit!"

"Clap clap clap!"

When everyone at the scene heard the news, they immediately clapped their hands.

"That's great." Hu Qi, who had a dignified expression, finally showed a smile on his face at this time, only to hear him continue: "I really didn't expect that the most advanced chip production line in our country is actually in Shenzhen."

"The main reason is that Xiao Duan is more capable. He spent a lot of money on this production line and took a lot of risks..." Li Hao said at this time.

"By the way, he also imported these machines from Japan?" Hu Qi asked.

"This... you have to ask Xiao Duan about the specific situation. It is the equipment that he organized to introduce." Li Hao said.

The next moment, everyone's eyes turned to Duan Yun.

It is not convenient for Li Hao to directly explain the source of these lithography machines, because they were imported from abroad through "grey channels" after all. From the perspective of the SZ city government, Li Hao should not have let this happen, so He could only ask Duan Yun to explain it himself to see Hu Qi's attitude towards this matter.

"Actually, we bought these machines from ASML in the Netherlands through a patriotic businessman in Hong Kong. ASML is a subsidiary of Philips. Their lithography machine technology is the most advanced in Europe..." At this time, Duan Yun was also a little nervous, but the matter has developed to this point, he can only bite the bullet and explain: "...Because the product itself is embargoed, I also hope to improve the technological production of integrated circuits in our country. level, so it cost a lot of money, and with the help of patriotic businessmen from Hong Kong, it was quietly shipped to China..."

"Eh." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Hu Qi immediately understood what he meant, so he nodded slightly.

"Minister Hu, the Americans are too domineering. They have been blockading our country's technology for so many years. Their original intention is to stifle the development of our country's high-tech!" Duan Yun tried to shift everyone's attention to other aspects, Try not to talk about smuggling as much as possible, so he continued: "I heard that in the early years, in order to develop two bombs, one satellite and nuclear submarines, our country solved some technical equipment problems with the help of Hong Kong patriotic businessmen. question……"

Duan Yun wanted to "legalize" his smuggling as much as possible, and insisted on associating the smuggling of photolithography machines with patriotism. Kai's attitude.

"The patriotic businessmen in Hong Kong did help our country a lot in the early years, and this must not be forgotten..." Hu Qi nodded, and then said: "As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, we can do something special." , too rigid in form, sometimes it is impossible to accomplish great things!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Minister Hu is right!" Li Hao immediately agreed after hearing the words.

Obviously, what Hu Qi said meant that he would not pursue the smuggling of lithography machines for the time being, and Duan Yun, who was standing aside like this, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

In any case, today is a milestone day for the history of China's integrated circuit development, and Minister Hu doesn't want to get entangled in this kind of thing.

"It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."

This well-known great man's speech is actually deeply reflected in the formulation of various national policies after the country's reform and opening up.

For a poor and white country, if it is necessary to limit the development of the country within a strict border frame, it is actually a kind of self-restriction. It is necessary to "cut corners and take shortcuts", which is a kind of helplessness and a pragmatic approach.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. People with moral and cleanliness are often not suitable for great things.

"Minister Hu, at present, the four lithography machines introduced by our factory can only be temporarily incorporated into the production line of Toshiba in Japan. If an independent production line is formed in this way, some other equipment must be purchased, including single crystal furnaces, slicers, etching machines, etc. machine and so on.” Seeing that Hu Qi didn’t seem to intend to investigate the smuggling of lithography machines, Duan Yun went on to say: “So I want to buy a full set of chip production equipment from China except for lithography machines. I hope Minister Hu can provide support……"

At present, domestic scientific research units are still strictly following the line of the planning system. All kinds of domestic chip production equipment can only be provided to state-owned enterprises, and will not be sold to private enterprises.

In addition, Duan Yun’s proposal to purchase domestic equipment actually has his intentions in it, because once the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry allows Tianyin Electronics Group to purchase domestic chip production equipment, it means that Tianyin Electronics Factory is recognized as a legal manufacturer. If Duan Yun smuggled lithography machines in the future, he would undoubtedly be slapping himself in the face...
