The man who turned the times

Chapter 359 Target 32nm Chip
An Zhengguo swallowed his saliva, and asked uncertainly: "President Su, where is the limit of this lithography machine?"

Su Yang said: "The limit is 5nm, but if you want to mass-produce chips, 7nm is almost the limit."

"7nm!"

"My God, unbelievable."

"Does this mean that we can crush Western countries in terms of semiconductor technology?"

"seems like it."

The high-level executives of Yuanyang Semiconductor and some employees who participated in the experiment almost danced with excitement.

For them, semiconductor manufacturing is their job and their religion.

One day, we can see China's semiconductor manufacturing, have the opportunity to stand on top of the world, and despise Europe and the United States that once blocked technology.

Probably, there is nothing more enjoyable than this in the world, right?
When they were excited, Su Yang said solemnly: "Everyone, be quiet."

"I know you are in a very complicated mood at this time, but here I hope you don't forget the words on the confidentiality agreement. If someone dares to violate it, someone dares to leak what happened here today."

"I promise, there is no place for him in this world, I hope you can face up to what I said, so, the person who announced what happened here, you have to completely forget what you said .”

"Boss An, these are your subordinates, I hope you can restrain them well."

Meeting Su Yang's gentle gaze, An Zhengguo's heart tightened, and he said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely restrain them."

Su Yang said: "In addition, the number of caregivers here needs to be increased. Don't let irrelevant people enter to visit."

"clear."

"Okay, let's all go to the conference room, I have something to say."

……

The office building of Yuanyang Semiconductor Company is an [-]-story building covering an area of ​​[-] square meters.

In the surrounding generation, it is considered a relatively photogenic building.

In a brightly lit conference room.

Su Yang was sitting at the top, listening to An Zhengguo talking about various matters and arrangements of the semiconductor company. If there was something wrong, he brought it up in person.

Half an hour after the meeting.

Liu Yuanlong raised his hand.

Su Yang looked at him: "Director Liu, tell me."

Liu Yuanlong said: "Mr. Su, we now have EUV lithography machines, and the etching machines are also very accurate. Other equipment can be purchased from outside as long as you spend a little effort and money. The same is true for specific semiconductor materials. "

"That is to say, in terms of IC manufacturing, Yuanyang Semiconductor has everything, but in terms of IC design, we are still behind the major Western semiconductor giants."

"Currently, the best IC design in China, the circuit diagram can only be used for 60nm manufacturing. If you want to go further, it will be difficult!"

Su Yang said: "Director Liu's words are very reasonable. We have no shortage of hardware facilities, but the software technology still lags behind those semiconductor giants..."

To work in semiconductors, it is not enough to have equipment, but to have supporting technology.

After all, if there is no corresponding IC design knowledge, the equipment is just a decoration, even if it is advanced, it is also a waste product.

Of course, it may be too much to say that it is a waste product, but if there is no circuit diagram of a more refined nanotechnology, the word "advanced" for advanced equipment will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, in semiconductor manufacturing, technologies such as IC design are often the most critical technologies.

If it were placed in an ordinary semiconductor company in China, this matter would be difficult for a group of people. Even if people were called up immediately to start derivation and design, it would take a certain amount of time.

It can take a year or a half, and it can be as short as three to five months. This is a seemingly easy, but very labor-intensive job.

However, Yuanyang Semiconductor is not an ordinary company. In terms of circuit diagram design, Su Yang has long been prepared.

The voice paused, and Su Yang continued: "IC design has always been at a disadvantage in China, but since we have chickens, are we afraid that we won't be able to lay eggs?"

"The 60nm chip, you can't touch it any more, the score is second, the key is not cost-effective, 45nm is now being developed by Samsung and Inter, and if we intervene again, it is equivalent to chasing after others and chasing them, always one step behind. "

"So... we have to make chips with higher technology."

At this point, there was silence in the conference room.

An Zhengguo coughed, "Boss Su, we don't even have the 45nm chip technology right now, more advanced...we can't do it."

Su Yang smiled and said: "Mr. An, this topic has been discussed just now. Since I skipped it, it means that this is not something you should worry about."

"Oh?" An Zhengguo and others' eyes lit up.

What the boss said, there is something in the words.

Su Yang: "Don't forget that besides the semiconductor company, Yuanyang has many other companies. The design of the chip circuit diagram is a matter for the technology development company."

"In the last half month, Chen Fengfeng sent someone to contact you, and the 32nm chip technology will also be issued by then."

"So, Mr. An, what you should do now is to gather the employees, reorganize the internal regulations of the factory, and at the same time arrange for people to purchase the corresponding materials and equipment..."

When An Zhengguo and the others heard this, their eyes widened and their breathing became short of breath.

"President Su, what do you mean... the technology development company has already researched the 32nm circuit diagram?"

"Since Mr. Su said so, he must be right!"

"That's right, that's right, we really care about it and it's messy. We even have 7nm lithography machines and etching machines. President Su must have been prepared for the 32nm chip technology."

"So, we will be able to make 32nm chips soon?!!"

"The international semiconductor giants such as Inter and Samsung are still working on 45nm chips, and we..."

"No, no, my heart can't take it anymore, let me calm down!"

"..."

As soon as Su Yang indicated that there was no problem with the IC design, the following meeting became very simple.

After arranging and discussing related work, Su Yang emphasized the confidentiality issue again.

Although the company executives present were a little eager to make a move, they wanted to announce the breakthrough of Yuanyang Semiconductor, showing off and slapping other companies severely.

However, facing the serious warning from the boss, they had no choice but to suppress this excitement in their hearts.

After the meeting ended, Su Yang was approached by Liu Yuanlong.

"Director Liu, do you have any questions?" Su Yang asked him.

Liu Yuanlong hurriedly said: "Boss Su, it's not about production. Strictly speaking, it's some private matter. I... don't know if I should talk about it or not."

Su Yang said with a smile: "Since you have found me, you must have been concerned and prepared, so just speak up if you have something to say."

"Okay!" Liu Yuanlong nodded without hesitation, and quickly said, "That's right, before the company was acquired by Yuanyang, something happened..."
