From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 237 Major Update and Restart of the Production Line
"What Qizhi company is this, and what is its origin? A new polishing liquid, and a new silicon wafer purification process?"

With Qizhi officially having employees, the promotion of their patents began.

Ning Yue officially joined the company. After knowing the usefulness of Lin Xiao's two patents, although she didn't know how powerful these two patents are, but under Lin Xiao's explanation, she knew one thing, world-class, very That's right.

So she used her own method to find the contact information of the owners or managers of these domestic polishing fluid and silicon wafer production plants, and then started selling them.

So these people have the above problem.

What is the origin of this company?
And it also includes Dingguang Technology Company.

Of course, Luo Ming had received a notice from Lin Xiao before, and he also knew that he was the one who registered the Qizhi Company for Lin Xiao.

"Professor Lin, is the technology mastered by Qizhi company real?"

After getting the news, Luo Ming called Lin Xiao directly.

"It's true, those two technologies are my patents, let's try it first."

Luo Ming couldn't help being surprised: "You actually came up with two more technologies?"

"Well, I did some research during this period of time. The purification process is a matter of physics and chemistry. There is nothing to say. I probably thought about it and figured it out."

"As for the polishing fluid, I went to our school's chemistry laboratory to research it during this period, and then made it."

Lin Xiao said.

It is precisely because the research methods of these two technologies are not difficult, which can be completely explained as his personal research, so he did not spend too much time researching these two technologies. He poured silica powder-sodium hydroxide colloidal polishing fluid It is indeed prepared in a chemical laboratory, and this kind of thing still needs to be operated by hand.

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Luo Ming was speechless.

What you said... isn't it a bit too simple?

Not to mention the purification technology.

If you are an expert in production process design, you are indeed capable of designing this technology by yourself.

However, if this polishing liquid does not undergo long-term experiments and proportioning, and then prepares the finished product and then takes it to the assembly line for testing, how can it be determined whether it is useful?
If the other party wasn't Lin Xiao, he could have suspected that he wanted to scam their company's money.

Lie to the patent license fee.

Lin Xiao said: "When the time comes to test it on the production line, we will know. Isn't our new polishing disc only able to make the surface precision of our silicon wafers reach about 4nm? After using this new polishing fluid, I have Grasp and then double the precision to reach the level of 2nm."

2nm silicon wafers are enough to make them among the top wafer manufacturers.

And to reach the level of 1nm, their polishing machine needs to be able to reach the top level. For now, their polishing machine is not top-notch, because the polishing machine controls the polishing force and polishing depth, the better the polishing The better the control of the machine in these two aspects, the better.

Hearing Lin Xiao's answer with such certainty, Luo Ming was surprised.

Can the precision directly reach 2nm?

How good is this polishing fluid?
"Professor Lin, is this true?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure."

"Okay, I'll let our production line try it out later."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Ming called again.

First of all, I called the director of the production line and asked him to replace the refining equipment and change the details of various steps.

The silicon wafer purification step is to remove various impurities in the sand, and finally condense it into a crystal block that can be called a pure substance, with a purity of 11 nines. Every step in the process is very particular.

It includes the steps of filtration and chemical reaction. If it can be fully reacted, as well as the most critical purification efficiency and speed, it needs to be studied carefully.

As for the effect of Lin Xiao's method, you need to wait to try it out before you know. The development of the production process is actually the same as the research on the polishing solution. The best, although there are professional software to simulate, but after all, it is not as good as actually going through it.

So Luo Ming can only look forward to it.

Secondly, he also made a phone call, that is, contacted a domestic manufacturer that can customize chemical production, and asked this manufacturer to produce this new type of polishing fluid that is enough for them to test for ten days. Because Qizhi Company has permission, so don't worry about it This would infringe the patent.

Now that there are new types of polishing discs and new types of polishing fluids, and even the purification process has been upgraded, he plans to use these three new technologies together to see how the combination works. , How much help can it bring to their production.

At the same time, although other domestic manufacturers have also received news, they do not plan to make this first attempt, but plan to wait and see first.

Anji Technology is the leading enterprise in the production of CMP polishing fluid in Huaguo, but it is still far behind foreign countries in terms of polishing fluid production, only accounting for more than ten percent of the domestic market.

Therefore, they are also the first companies to get the news.

At this time, in the headquarters office of Anji Technology.

"Old Feng, don't we really want to try? Behind this Qizhi company is Lin Xiao, a very powerful scientist."

"I know, but no matter how good he is as a scientist, we can't just believe it right? How do you know that the other party's stuff is good?"

Feng Jibei, chairman of Anji Technology, said to his general manager.

Shen Nan, the general manager insisted: "Let's try it out, right? I think the other party's technology is really good, and I asked before, they only do patents, not production, they are our perfect partner."

Feng Jibei stood up, stepped forward and patted Shen Nan on the shoulder, and said, "Old Shen, I know your good intentions, and I also know that the material may be really good, but let's take a look at everything first. And you also know that we are short of money recently, and shareholders in the United States are planning to reduce their holdings recently, so let's wait for a while, okay?"

Feng Jibei shook his head, and said very seriously: "Old Feng...Feng Dong, you can trust me this time, okay?"

Feng Jibei smiled, embraced Shen Nan, and said: "Okay, okay, you said that, I will think about it later, let's not talk about these things, and talk about them later, OK?"

Seeing that Feng Jibei still shied away, Shen Nan showed disappointment in his eyes.

Feng Jibei recently studied how to make a fortune from the stock market, so he transferred all the money from the company account to the stock market account.

But now they can completely transfer the money out, and even if they go to buy a patent license, it probably doesn't need much.

For the new polishing fluid material, Shen Nan is very optimistic, because he himself has a Ph.D. degree in materials from Xijiao University. In addition, he is also a master of business administration from Xijiao University, which is why he can serve as the general manager of this company.

But now it seems that Feng Jibei is no longer his ideal boss. This boss who used to pursue technology to get rich has started to pursue financial wealth.

Sighing, he said no more.

And such leading domestic polishing liquid companies have chosen to wait and see, let alone other companies.

At the same time, in the headquarters of Mitsubishi Group in Japan.

"President, this is an important event that happened in Huaguo's semiconductor industry recently."

In an unpretentious office, a man in a suit and leather shoes handed a report to an old man sitting cross-legged next to a tea tray.

This Japanese old man is the current helm of the Mitsubishi Group, Taro Iwasaki.

Iwasaki Taro didn't take it over, but just said: "Tell me directly if there is anything worthy of attention."

"Good president." His secretary bowed respectfully, and then said: "The first thing worth paying attention to is that Huaguo's CMP polishing disc material has made a breakthrough. According to what we know now, their The comprehensive situation of this new material has reached the world's top standard."

"Well, is there any more?" Iwasaki Taro continued to ask with a calm expression.

"In addition, there is a newly established company in Huaguo called Qizhi Technology Company. This company is recommending two patents they have to Huaguo's CMP polishing liquid production company and silicon wafer production company. One of them is a A new type of polishing liquid, and the other is a new type of silicon wafer purification process technology, the specific conditions of these two technologies are not yet known.”

"However, if these three technologies may have a huge impact on our silicon wafer occupancy rate."

"First of all, we found that these three technologies are all related to one person, that is, the famous scientist, Lin Xiao, who created all these three technologies, including the new structure of the previous encoder. This matter Mitsubishi Electric The company has already reported."

"In addition, the people from Mitsubishi Electric tried to irritate Lin Xiao after they failed in the cooperation negotiation with them. Based on Lin Xiao's reaction and his past behavior, we conducted a personality analysis on him."

"First of all, he is an idealist, and a national idealist. Many of his recent behaviors have shown this situation. In addition, he has a little individualism. He has a certain probability that he can promote the development of Huaguo. , especially the semiconductor industry.”

"In view of this situation, we judge that he will be committed to promoting the development of Huaguo Semiconductor. From the current point of view, as long as his three technologies can reach a world-class level, he will basically use these three technologies at a relatively low level. The price is provided to manufacturers in Huaguo, and considering that Huaguo has sufficient labor force, raw material production costs, electricity costs, and transportation costs are all cheaper than ours. Once we let them form an industrial closed loop, we will lose our supply of silicon wafers to the world. control ability."

Hearing this, Iwasaki Taro finally frowned.

Silicon wafers account for as much as 40% of the market in the semiconductor material industry chain, and the total market size is as high as more than 100 billion US dollars. It can be said that silicon wafers can be at the core of the entire semiconductor upstream market.

And their Japanese market share in silicon wafers is as high as 70%, which means that 70.00% of the silicon wafers in the market are exported from them.

As one of Japan's largest chaebols, Mitsubishi, they directly or indirectly control many interests in this regard.

So for this matter, Iwasaki Taro also had to pay attention.

He picked up the teacup next to him and drank the tea in it. The secretary next to him quickly filled his teacup with tea.

But Iwasaki Taro didn't look at it, he just stood up, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Continue to investigate, this kind of thing must be vigilant, even if we authorize them a patent, or fight a price war with them, we must dispel them." momentum."

They are not afraid that the neighbors on the other side of the sea will borrow from them, or even steal from them, but they are afraid that the neighbors will make their own.

Technological breakthroughs are the most overwhelming, and once this neighbor can continue to make breakthroughs in these technologies, they will all be afraid.

And not only they are afraid, but the whole world is also afraid.

"Yes."

The secretary nodded, understanding what the president meant.

……

Time passed quickly. After nearly a month of replacement and debugging, the silicon wafer production line under the name of Dingguang Technology Co., Ltd. can finally run again.

The new purification process and new polishing materials, the two most critical parts of the silicon wafer production process, have been perfected.

Of course, the actual effect still needs to wait for the next ten days of experiments.

Many people have already come to the factory of this production line.

Lin Xiao came, of course Luo Ming also came, and Ning Yue also followed.

And some people from the silicon industry, the original owner of this production line, also came.

They all want to witness that this completely new production line can exert such efficiency.

"Boss Lin, everything is ready."

The director of the production line workshop shouted at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Activate!"

The electric switch was pulled down, and the production line, which had been suspended for a month, was powered on again, and the workers in various departments started their work again.

With their labor, let this production line witness its final results.

　I was taking graduation photos today, and I suddenly remembered a song, "Old Boy", I recommend everyone to listen to it, and you can listen to it again if you have heard it
