Chapter 939 One Micron
However, besides Mr. Zhao, Director Zhou, there is actually Huang Lingyi, a senior scholar in the semiconductor industry, and many staff members in the semiconductor industry.

"Su Chen, let me introduce you. This is Zhou, the director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is a scientist and one of the founders of the world-recognized partial conservation theory of pseudovector currents. He was elected as a foreign academician by the Soviet Academy of Sciences last year."

Teacher Zhao introduced, "This is Teacher Huang Lingyi, who works in the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. From diodes, triodes, and large-scale integrated circuits, it can be said that Teacher Huang has witnessed and participated in the development of China's microelectronics industry from scratch."

Whoa, this is really powerful.

Su Chen hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello teachers, I am Su Chen, a student of Tsinghua Economics." He shook hands with these teachers one by one, "Thank you teachers for coming."

"Hello, Su Chen, I've known you for a long time." Director Zhou said with a warm smile, "I've heard a lot about your deeds for a long time, and I personally participated in the fire project led by you.

I have to say that among the young people I have met, you are one of the best, but also one of the most difficult to figure out. The country is fortunate to have you. "

"No, Director Zhou, it should be lucky to have researchers like you who silently contributed to build a sword for our country."

Su Chen said, "I don't know much about scientific research, but I'm not interested in sitting in an office doing economic projects, so I can only tinker with other things."

"These things can save us a lot of detours, can't they?" Huang Lingyi asked from the side, "I just heard that there is a lithography machine this time, but I don't know how many microns the process is?"

"PAS-2500 type, one micron process."

"what?"

Everyone present was stunned.

Because the people present are basically chip developers, and they know that if this kind of lithography machine is to be obtained from abroad, it must break through the strict seal of the Batumi agreement, so this news sounds like a fantasy.

Kind of hard to imagine.

Moreover, domestic lithography machines have not yet been able to break through the wavelength of one micron, so they lag behind others.

However, technology leaders like TSMC ASML are not at ease, they also have their own troubles.

As latecomers, we can cross the river by following in the footsteps of our predecessors. We know where the direction is in general, but we just need to find a way to that direction by ourselves.

However, the pioneers are not sure about the direction, and can only grope in the dark. A slight mistake in judgment may lead to the wrong technology tree. After a huge amount of investment is in vain, they find that this road is not going to work. The decline of many popular technology companies Start here.

"Yes, but I hope everyone can keep this news secret. After all, the Yankees are always watching us, so we must be careful." Su Chen warned.

Director Zhou swallowed his throat: "I don't know where you plan to put these lithography machines?"

He especially wanted to get one to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but he couldn't be ashamed to say so.

"Two are in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the other is in Harbin Institute of Technology. I have already placed one in Hong Kong, and the remaining one, please help me arrange it." Su Chen said, "At the same time, I want to set up a project. Please uncle, you and Director Zhou help take the lead."

"What project?" Mr. Zhao and Director Zhou were at a loss.

"I plan to set up our own chip project, called Godson." Su Chen said, "But I don't know how many semiconductor researchers there are in our country, and I don't know what to do."

His current situation is, 'I don't know how to do it, and I don't know to what extent, but I know I must do it'.

As for the name Godson, it was because he couldn't think of a better one, and is there anything better than the name Godson?
Might as well copy one directly.

"However, we don't know how to debug these devices." Director Zhou was a little embarrassed.

It was embarrassing anyway.

Because the machine has arrived, but no one in China can use it, and the installation and commissioning still needs the help of ASML engineers.

After all, this kind of machine is very precise and is one of the most advanced lithography machines in the world, and only the people from the manufacturer can be fully familiar with all the technical links here.

If you debug it yourself, you can't guarantee that there will be no problems.

Su Chen said: "It's okay, because the engineers from ASML are also here this time, and they will help with debugging."

Everyone is certain.

Teacher Zhao asked suspiciously: "You want to keep one in Hong Kong, is it because you plan to make chips?"

"I don't have talents in this field, so I don't plan to make chips myself." Su Chen shook his head, "I want to do a relatively large project, which is to gather the world's human elites and move mountains together.

On the basis of the current one-micron process, invest one billion US dollars, network global semiconductor talents, and develop our own lithography machines and chips together. "

When he brought the lithography machine from the Netherlands to China, he had to make plans in advance instead of waiting until Intel formed EUV LLC before joining.

At that time, I am afraid that the United States will turn over old scores and obstruct it in every possible way, and may even cut off its wrists to survive.

It is said that when ASML joined the alliance, the Americans turned over old accounts and found out that ASML executives had secretly sold equipment and were forced to sign a bunch of agreements.

It also forces 55% of ASML's fine parts to be assembled and produced by local American companies.

"A billion dollars?"

Everyone present swallowed their saliva again, they really had money.

"Yes, one billion dollars, but this one billion dollars is not funded by anyone, but by the state." Su Chen said, "I believe that there must be a brave man under the reward."

He doesn't understand technology, but it doesn't mean that everyone present doesn't understand.

In fact, Chinese people are no worse than foreigners.

"Then where will this project be established?" Director Zhou asked.

"Hong Kong." Su Chen smiled, "Let Americans see our oriental wisdom."

"Good boy." Teacher Zhao said with a smile, "It is indeed the wisdom of the Orientals."

As long as they do research in Hong Kong through the British arm holdings, even if the Americans know, they can only be anxious, and they can also poach talents from the Soviet Union at that time.

In addition, other troubles can be avoided.

After all, his strategic companies are all in the United States, so he must be one step ahead.

Prejudging Americans' predictions.

Director Zhou said: "Okay, after I go back, I will immediately call other people to form this project."

Everyone went to watch those devices.

And Su Chen whispered to Trost.

"Dude, when I get back to Hong Kong, I'll write you a check for 200 million dollars." Su Chen handed him a cigarette, "You should know how to do it."

Trost naturally knew what the $200 million meant, because Su Chen took the risk out of patriotism, but he was not. Once the news leaked, he might be investigated by the international police.

You must know that the Yankees have extremely bad methods, and if they are a little careless, they may even be assassinated.

"Boss, I only know that a British company established a semiconductor project in Hong Kong, so this business was made." Trost looked serious, "In the spirit of serving customers, I came to see it myself."

Su Chen smiled and said: "Technology has no borders, and by doing this, you are also contributing to the progress of British semiconductors!"

"Boss, we are a commercial company, and business is all about profit, and this technology blockade is actually imposed on us by those politicians, which itself is not conducive to the development of business.

It is also not in the interests of our company, and we cannot not do business in order to satisfy some ulterior motives of certain politicians..." Trost said seriously.

"Dude, you're right, we can't stop doing business for someone else."

Su Chen said, "Tell me your account number in a while, and on the other side of the engineer, you can do some ideological work, and each person will pay 50 US dollars for hard work..."

"I would definitely let them debug these devices until our customers have full control." Trost said.

The lithography machine can not be produced by pulling it over, but also requires a strict workshop, and the current domestic lithography machine laboratory has not yet reached this condition.

With a big wave of Mr. Su's hand, he approved the money and bought what was missing.

After remitting the money to the engineer through Standard Chartered Bank, they immediately went to debug it regardless of the embargo or the like.

As the CEO, Trost didn't need to follow, he stayed in Shenzhen with Su Chen.

I found an English-speaking staff member to accompany Trost to wander the streets, while Su Chen had a meeting with Director Zhou, Mr. Zhao...
