Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 313 Etching Equipment Industry Layout!Applied materials that underestimate the enemy!

"It is related to a heat treatment equipment company named Oda, they have developed a monocrystalline silicon vacuum annealing furnace, which is comparable in performance to the Centura annealing furnace.

Therefore, under the promotion of Shanhai Microelectronics, most of the wafer and chip manufacturers in Huaguo began to choose Alda 1000 to handle the annealing process. "

Barlow had been prepared for a long time and handed in a detailed investigation report without any haste.

"ShanHai microelectronics? If I remember correctly, aren't they a chip foundry company? How can they be related to heat treatment equipment manufacturers?"

The vice president was dubious, took the document casually, and read it intently.

The name of Shanhai Microelectronics is no stranger to him. In 2015, it was once the largest purchaser of Applied Materials in Dahua District.

Purchased a large number of supporting vapor deposition, ion implantation, chemical mechanical polishing, etching, cleaning equipment, as well as film precursors, abrasives and polishing materials, with an order value of up to US$10 billion.

It can be said that [-]% of the company's annual performance is supported by Shanhai Microelectronics.

After half an hour.

The vice president raised his head again, thought for a while and said: "I will report to the board of directors. Before the big boss makes a decision, the cooperation relationship with the other party will remain as usual."

"OK, I understand."

Barlow nodded without arguing. He knew very well in his heart that even if this matter got to the management, it would be nothing.

Is it necessary to cut off the cooperation with Shanhai Microelectronics?
How can it be!

This is the company's most important major customer. If it is shaken, everyone's year-end bonus will be affected.

In a mere monocrystalline silicon vacuum annealing furnace market, losing part of the profits is not a big problem compared to the company as a whole.

What's more, KA customers of this magnitude, as well as Edo Electronics, PSM and Kapton are staring at them. Who would like to offend them lightly?Hand over the gold master to others?

a few days later.

as predicted!

Barlow received a notification from the vice president, and the result was exactly the same as his guess. The group chose to deal with it coldly, so as to please Shanhai Microelectronics.

How did they know that Chen Heyu's goal is not limited to single crystal silicon vacuum annealing furnace.

In the future, he will control RTP furnaces, polysilicon growth furnaces, silicon ingot furnaces and large-area electron beam irradiation furnaces one by one.

A little disturbance did not arouse the vigilance of these front-end equipment giants!
……

"Huaxin International has greatly improved its competitiveness and achieved mass production of 28nm chips!"

"Jinling Hi-Tech develops 28nm chips, creates a mature process, and blocks the retreat of Bay Semiconductor!"

"Exciting! Huaguo Chip is celebrating a breakthrough, and Huahong Integrated will invest 100 billion Chinese dollars to expand the 28nm chip production line!"

"Good news! Blue and White Unisplendour's 28-nanometer yield rate is equal to that of Bay Semiconductor, and foreign media exclaimed: Huaguo is rising!"

"..."

In just one week, Huaguo netizens were shocked to discover that domestic semiconductor companies seem to have taken some "panacea" and made breakthroughs one after another!
The technology level of 28nm chips per capita!
"There is a long way to go, our generation should be self-improvement, Huaguo, come on!"

"Not bad, it has caught up to the level of Sanxing and GSMC two years ago!"

"I don't know how the good product rate is? If the reject rate is too high, there is no competitiveness at all!"

"Why don't you break through sooner or later, why do you break through together?"

"Insiders in the industry have revealed a little bit that the source of technology is definitely not self-developed!"

Doubts gradually appeared in the comment area of ​​Weibo's hot search.

Shanhai Microelectronics did not cover up its licensing behavior. At the same time, it announced to the outside world that it will officially reduce the foundry business of 3nm chips starting in the third quarter.

Coupled with the gossip that went viral, the two-phase confirmation instantly let the people who eat melons understand that Huaxin International, Jinling Hi-Tech and Jiangdian Technology are the source of confidence and self-confidence.

It turned out that I bought the process of Shanhai Microelectronics!
at the same time.

More than a dozen semiconductor companies purchased production lines together and recruited tens of thousands of equipment engineers, automation engineers, production operators, and shipping workers.

All of a sudden, majors such as electronic engineering, material science, integrated circuits, etc., exploded!
When the college entrance examination is approaching, many students have already decided to apply for a major before entering the examination room.

In this battle for talent, the starting salaries of graduates of related majors have unknowingly increased by 50%.

Some college students who are about to graduate have posted on social platforms to thank Shanhai Microelectronics for its contribution.

Originally, the salary for spring school recruitment was 6000 Chinese dollars, but now it has risen to 9000-10000 Chinese dollars before entering the job.

Although the treatment is still far from that of Shanhai Microelectronics, it has already made them extremely satisfied. They want to accumulate a few years of experience before jumping to Shanhai Microelectronics and entering the holy land of Huaguo's semiconductor industry.

Wu Maozhe and Xie Shengdong's annual bonus of 14.5 billion Chinese dollars is a great incentive for all practitioners.

There is still a dream, what if it comes true?

……

"Huchi~huchi~!"

Hu Ge panted heavily, and followed Chen Heyu to the right. After running a few laps, he quickly waved his hand and said:

"I can't do it anymore, go and rest for a while, you continue."

After all, he slowed down and stopped slowly.

"You need to work harder!"

Chen Heyu joked.

"Ten kilometers every day, surpassing 99% of my peers. Let me take a break. I used to run five kilometers."

Lao Hu unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, drank more than half of it in one gulp, and explained with a smile.

He didn't join the team recently, he stayed at home as a dead house, so he was naturally caught by Chen Heyu and ran with his boss every day.

In two weeks, he forcibly increased his jogging homework from five kilometers a day to ten kilometers.

Chen Heyu smiled, ignored him, and strode forward along the plastic track.

In order to obtain the core technology of heat treatment and etching, the energy value he had accumulated for many years was almost exhausted, so during the recent period, he deliberately increased the intensity and length of the exercise.

"31 minutes and 12 seconds! With your pace, you can participate in the half-marathon and get an excellent ranking. Are you interested in registering together next time?"

Hu Ge flattered and threw another bottle of mineral water over.

"Come on, you've rested for so long, don't you want to make new movies?"

Chen Heyu caught it steadily, and asked casually.

He tried his best to restrain this speed and did it on purpose, otherwise he would easily break the world record without shocking Lao Hu's jaw.

"The main reason is that I don't have a good script. If I knew that "The Long Season" would be a big hit, I should have auditioned in the first place."

Hugo said with emotion.

"Can you play Gong Biao, or Ma Desheng?"

Chen Heyu took a sip of water and teased.

"..."

Hu Ge was speechless, and looked up at the sky, looking inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Shanhai Video International Department, there will be a self-made drama in the second half of the year. You can ask Zhang Peng for the script. I think there are a few roles that may suit you."

Chen Heyu thought for a moment, then said to him.

"Did you write the script?"

Hu Ge's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise.

The gold content of my boss's script has been tested in the industry, and every film is popular!
He doesn't care about other resources. If Chen Heyu wrote the script himself, he would definitely not want to let it go.

"Where do I have time? However, I provided the plot outline of the first season, and the editorial department expanded and rewritten it based on this.

The quality is not bad, and it has the potential to become a hit drama. "

Chen Heyu replied.

"Squid Game"!
In the last life, this popular Goryeo drama released in 2021 was produced by Netflix. The content said: Hundreds of people who were trapped in their lives participated in 456 life-and-death escape games for a prize of 6 billion Koryo coins.

With a big brain and an exciting plot, it won the No. 13 ratings in 1 countries and regions after its release, and it was also the first Korean drama to win the ratings list of Netflix.

Chen Heyu carried out magical transformation and creation on the original story, only kept the most essential core, added a lot of original design, more brain-burning and horrifying, people can never predict the next second of the plot.

"Thank you, am I going through the back door?"

Hu Ge smiled, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a shy face.

"If you don't like it, you can refuse."

Chen Heyu smiled, then packed his sports bag, and Shi Shiran walked home.

"A fool would not like it."

Old Hu laughed, and followed behind him. As an old friend of Chen Heyu, after he joined Shanhai Film and Television, he was very satisfied with the film and television resources he received.

Chen Heyu went home and washed it, changed into a clean suit, and got in the car to the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics.

the other side.

A black top-end Audi sedan was slowly driving towards the Guanglan Electronic Port. In addition to the driver, there was also a personal assistant in the car who was in charge of the boss's daily schedule.

"Mr. Luo, there is still about half an hour before we can reach the other party's headquarters."

The assistant reminded.

"I see."

Luo Wenshan rubbed his sore and swollen temples, glanced out of the window, and immediately fell into deep thought.

Chen Heyu invited him to come to Shanghai for a talk, obviously there was an extremely important matter.

Thinking of those heat treatment equipment factories that had obtained patent authorization a few months ago, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "There is no reason, it is impossible!"

He couldn't imagine where Shanhai Microelectronics obtained these advanced technologies.

Previously, he asked someone to inquire and investigate, and he knew that some of the patented technologies in the hands of Shanhai Microelectronics were purchased through legal channels.

But he keenly discovered that the technology patents that were bought were not at the same level as the technology licensed by Shanhai Microelectronics.

Is the research and development center of Shanhai Microelectronics so awesome?
Luo Wenshan pondered for a long time, still confused, but it did not prevent him from looking forward to the next meeting.

If, as expected, Chen Heyu invited him from Yancheng, it must be to discuss the authorized cooperation of etching technology.

"Does he really have it?"

Luo Wenshan couldn't help feeling itchy, wishing the driver could drive faster and know the result sooner.

The etching process is a critical step in the chip manufacturing process, used to remove material or change the shape of the chip surface.

The principle is to create circuit structures and form tiny device grooves by introducing chemical substances (such as gas or liquid) or ion beams into the area in contact with the chip surface to cause chemical reactions or physical interactions with the chip surface.

According to the requirements of the chip manufacturing process, different methods will be used, mainly divided into wet etching and dry etching.

Weiner Technology is one of the few manufacturers of dry etching equipment in China, but limited by its research and development level, it is still unable to match the equipment suppliers of Neon and Pretty Country.

In the Greater China market, including neighboring countries such as Korea, when purchasing etching equipment, Weiner Technology will not be included in the list of buyers.

Products from Applied Materials and Edo Electronics are their first choice!
"Is it almost there?"

Luo Wenshan urged.

"Boss, just got off the elevated road, there is still one kilometer to go, and we will arrive in about 5 minutes."

the driver replied.

This spot happened to be the morning rush hour, and the four wide lanes were packed with commuter cars of commuters.

"alright."

Luo Wenshan glanced at the road conditions, feeling helpless, leaning against the car window, looking at the surrounding environment boredly.

After another intersection, the building of "Shanhai Microelectronics" can be seen faintly, and the company's signboard is hung on the facade of the top floor.

He knew very well that the competing companies that came to Shanghai this time were not only Huadian Technology and Hongtang Semiconductor, but also nine etching equipment companies such as Xinweiyuan and Hualin Kechuang.

After finally passing the most difficult 5 minutes, Luo Wenshan waited for the driver to park the car, and then pushed open the door impatiently.

Taking a closer look at this software park, there are a total of 8 skyscrapers, all of which are the office areas of Shanhai Microelectronics.

This kind of strength is also outstanding in the country!
"Worthy of being the new overlord of Huaguo's chip industry. I heard that there are two super-large production bases in Pudong and Jinling, with an annual output of 3000 million wafers. It is really terrifying."

Luo Wenshan said suddenly.

This production capacity is ten times that of Huaxin International and three times that of Gulf Semiconductors, and it is second to none in the entire Yazhou region.

Even Sanxing Electronics is hard to come by!

He took his assistant and walked straight to the lobby on the first floor. Just after walking the last step, he saw an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Zhang, you came really early."

Luo Wenshan was calm and calm, and greeted with a smile.

"It's Lao Luo, you're here too, it seems that Shanhai Microelectronics has a lot of pictures, and the conditions must be very harsh!"

Zhang Boyuan of Hongtang Semiconductor said in a nutshell.

"Don't play this show in front of me. Everyone knows in their hearts that according to the cooperation model between Shanhai Microelectronics and the heat treatment equipment industry, there is no need to play tricks. As long as there is basic hardware strength, Mr. Chen will not refuse."

Luo Wenshan curled his lips and said.

From all over the country to Shanghai, who doesn't know who, isn't it just to get a patent authorization?
Even if Shanhai Microelectronics took away 20% of the net profit, he would still be willing, which is better than wandering around in the low-end market all the time.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so far away. I'm He Tingbo, the CEO of Shanhai Microelectronics. Please follow me."

He Tingbo walked out of the elevator, saw the two chatting in front of the door, and walked over with a smile.

"Mr. He is too polite!"

"It's convenient to ask, is Mr. Chen here today?"

The two looked at each other and opened their mouths to ask.

"Naturally, the people in charge of other companies have already arrived, and Mr. Chen is receiving the reception upstairs. Let's go there first."

He Tingbo replied with a smile.

"Mr. He, first please!"

Luo Wenshan and Zhang Boyuan said politely.
