Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

"Mr. Wu, what is the OEM price of Shanhai Microelectronics' 7nm chips?"

A white reporter from "Chip Design" stood up during the Q&A session and asked.

"This question should be answered by Mr. He. I am just an ordinary chip engineer. From a professional perspective, by shrinking the process, more 12nm chips can be cut on a 7-inch silicon wafer.

However, the increase in device density means that during the packaging stage, more complex pins and connections need to be arranged in a smaller area, which poses new challenges to packaging technology, packaging equipment and packaging materials.

You must know that every micro-solder ball array or 3D packaging technology requires a huge amount of R&D funds and scientific research manpower, so the overall pricing strategy will still maintain an upward trend..."

Wu Maozhe replied calmly.

Shanhai Microelectronics' 10-nanometer chip foundry service standard is US$23800 per wafer, and this charging policy has been implemented for more than a year.

If the foundry price difference between 14nm and 10nm chips is used, the foundry cost of 7nm chips will exceed US$3 per wafer!

The cost of processors for smartphones and laptops will also be affected by this, with increases ranging from 20% to 40%.

Subsequently.

Wu Maozhe briefly answered several reporters' questions before Shi Shiran walked off the stage and won applause from the audience.

"Brother Angkor, you were so handsome when you gave your speech that all the foreigners were stunned."

Xie Shengdong turned into a fanboy, applauding and touting vigorously.

"Looking at your envious look, I will definitely recommend it to the boss at the next new product launch conference and let you speak as an engineer representative."

Wu Maozhe breathed a sigh of relief, sat back down, and joked to his little brother.

"Brother, you'd better let me go. I can't say anything. If I go up and kowtow, I'll lose the company's face."

Xie Shengdong waved his hands repeatedly, with a look of resistance on his face.

"I think Angkor is right. Adong, you need to exercise more."

Ye Youcheng said with a smile.

Noyce on the side smiled and said nothing, with an envious look in his eyes. He had no humility in his bones, and he wished he could immediately replace Wu Maozhe and stand on the dazzling stage and speak freely.

He knows very well that it won’t be long before this world-famous new product launch conference will make headlines around the world and become the darling of the traffic chase!

7nm chip process!
Shanhai M-5 is the most powerful flagship mobile phone chip!

Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine!
The semiconductor landscape in Greater China will change as a result. The former big importer of integrated circuits will completely reverse its role, completely get rid of the shackles of multinational chip giants, and enter a period of unbridled growth.

As for the beautiful country?
Fuck him!

Noyce sneered and said that when he couldn't afford the sports car and villa he wanted, the vampire executives in Turtle Valley didn't express the slightest idea of ​​a salary increase.

In his heart, he has long regarded Shanghai as his second hometown, and he is planning to marry a beautiful Chinese girl and take root here.

"A-Cheng, it's your turn, come on!"

Wu Maozhe patted Ye Youcheng's shoulder and encouraged him.

After He Tingbo on the stage finished her transitional words, she was looking at Ye Youcheng with burning eyes and smiling.

Ye Youcheng took two deep breaths and stepped onto the stage with vigorous steps. This ordinary-looking boy with a round face is less than 30 years old, but he has become one of the world's top electrical engineers with his Shanhai M series of chip products.

Intel, Haotong, Apple, and even Sanxing, Nikon, and Texas Instruments all offered him an annual salary of hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to poach him.

However, facing these temptations, Ye Youcheng chose to reject them all. It was not that he didn't love money, but he just preferred to believe that Chen Heyu would not treat him badly.

1 billion dollars?

As long as he stays at Shanhai Microelectronics, he may be able to earn US$10 billion a year in the future!

The life experiences of Ye Youcheng, Wu Maozhe and Xie Shengdong have made countless students majoring in electronic engineering, mathematics, computer, materials and physics in China gradually believe that it is possible to achieve financial freedom by relying on their own talents and abilities.

What's more, the salary level of Shanhai Microelectronics is not low. Upgrading to P2 can match the income of chip engineers in Guigu.

After Ye Youcheng stood still, facing the thousands of spectators, he first smiled slightly, and then said calmly:
"Dear guests, industry seniors and media friends, let me introduce the fifth generation processor product of Shanhai M series - Shanhai M-5.

It took two years from the first generation to the fifth generation. You may not be familiar with Shanhai M1, M2 and M3, because these three chips are mainly installed in mid-to-low-end models of DaMi Technology and are used to develop Huizhou. Mainland and Latin America markets.

But after the birth of Shanhai M-4, we have truly developed by leaps and bounds. We have self-developed baseband patented technology and Kimi generation architecture, and we can fully catch up with the processor products of Sanxing, Apple and Intel.

Shanhai M-5 uses 7-nanometer FinFET technology in its manufacturing process, which can accommodate up to 78 billion transistors, an increase of 39.3% compared to the previous generation of products, thus providing powerful computing performance and efficient power consumption management. "

Ye Youcheng talked eloquently and was confident and calm throughout the process.

In a corner under the stage, there was a gray-haired man sitting, unable to help but burst into tears.

"This is my son. My father is proud of you."

The man murmured softly.

"Shanhai M-5 adopts a six-core CPU design, with two high-performance cores used to handle high-intensity tasks and four high-performance cores used to handle light-load tasks.

This design combination enables the processor to allocate resources more efficiently and balancedly when handling different workloads.

In terms of AI and machine learning, it is equipped with the Maiweida Jetson TX28 AI neural engine, which has machine learning and artificial intelligence functions. It has 8 cores, can handle 5 trillion operations per second, and can excellently accelerate face recognition. , image processing and speech recognition tasks.

In terms of GPU performance, four independent graphics cores are used, each core can handle graphics calculation and rendering tasks at the same time, providing excellent image performance.

In addition, it is equipped with a high-performance graphics engine that can handle tasks such as image rendering, texture mapping, shading, and pixel operations at high speeds.

In other words, smartphones equipped with Shanhai M-5 chips have strong performance in games, video rendering, and graphics-intensive applications. "

Ye Youcheng said with a faint smile.

The performance and power consumption ratio of Shanhai M-5 processor exceeds that of Snapdragon 835 and Apple's A11 Bionic chip, and the experience is more than doubled.

An additional dual-channel fast charging technology is added to provide a convenient and comfortable charging experience, which can charge the battery from 15% to 0% in just 50 minutes.

Then, Ye Youcheng conducted a comprehensive analysis of Shanhai M-3 from the perspectives of video memory compression, cache structure and memory subsystem, power consumption and 5DMark physical testing.

Lu Lei, president of Apple Greater China, frowned upon hearing this!
His previous guess was correct. Shanhai Microelectronics has grown at a frightening speed. In just three years, it has become the dominant player in the semiconductor industry in the fields of chip design, production and packaging.

The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X that will be released next month will face an extremely embarrassing problem, that is, there is a huge performance gap between the A11 Bionic and Shanhai M-5.

Can the superiority of the IOS system smooth this out?

Lu Lei felt a little uneasy for a while. He had long heard about the operations of DaMi Technology in the Huizhou and Tianzhu markets. Future Technology's Hongmeng system had evolved to version 2.13.Tens of millions of mobile device owners are helping future technology optimize and iterate this domestic system.

If rice MIX2 and rice note3 use Hongmeng system and Shanhai M-5 chip, will Apple's advantage in the high-end market still last?

Lu Lei shook his head silently and made up his mind to convey all the contents of today's press conference to Tim and the board of directors.

Every next decision will be crucial to Apple!

"...Thank you all. I hope that mobile phone brands at home and abroad will continue to support Shanhai M series chip products. The purchase price of a single chip is US$95. Interested friends can contact Mr. Wang, who is in charge of sales."

Ye Youcheng shamelessly started advertising.

After all, for every Shanhai M-5 chip sold, he can draw a dividend of US$0.95.

Make money, don’t be shabby!What’s more, it’s for self-interest!

"Crack-crack-crack-crack!"

In an instant, there was thunderous applause from the audience. The reporters clicked the shutter button and took a photo of Ye Youcheng and the Shanhai M-5 chip on the big screen!
In the eyes of foreigners, this little fat guy with a shy smile is undoubtedly the brightest star in the mobile phone industry in 2017.

Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Sanxing Microelectronics and Intel Corporation will definitely not be able to catch up with Shanhai Microelectronics in less than two or three years.

These days are the golden period of China’s mobile phone industry and semiconductor industry!
When the applause gradually subsided, He Tingbo straightened her clothes, walked to the stage with her head held high, and replaced Ye Youcheng.

"Under the red silk is the Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine?"

Mr. Meng asked softly.

"It's just a part. The complete Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine has up to 180 parts in a single piece of equipment. The overall weight is about 16.8 tons. It is 6.5 meters long, 3.2 meters wide and [-] meters high. It is too troublesome to pull it over."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

Although the stage can accommodate it, it is not necessary!
Mr. Meng nodded slightly, smiled and said nothing. He turned his eyes to the stage, waiting for He Tingbo's next move.

“As we all know, the three core technologies of EUV lithography machines are EUV optical lens, EUV lithography light source and dual workpiece stage system. I think everyone is curious whether Shanhai Microelectronics’ Zhulong 10800 uses materials from other countries. Patented technology and spare parts?
Here, I declare clearly and responsibly that we insist on using domestic suppliers even for a bolt accessory.

After two years of unremitting efforts, a scientific research team of more than 4000 people finally created a 100% independently developed commercial lithography equipment suitable for chip manufacturing at 7nm and 5nm process nodes. "

He Tingbo said calmly.

After saying that, he lifted it with his big hand, and the silky red silk fell down!

A snow-white rectangular workbench was revealed. Audiences who were familiar with the structure of lithography machines quickly recognized that this was a set of exposure tables.

It is also called a measurement table. It is a workbench that carries silicon wafers and is used to support and position the silicon wafer. During the photolithography process, the exposure table positions the silicon wafer below the projection optical system to accept the projection of the photoresist.

The picture on the big screen rotates accordingly, using digital animation technology to show a more comprehensive and three-dimensional Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine.

“Due to site constraints, we only brought in one set of exposure tables, but its structure is also complex and sophisticated and consists of multiple parts, such as:
The vacuum suction cup, before exposure, uses negative pressure to absorb the silicon wafer and firmly fix it on the exposure table to prevent the silicon wafer from moving or swinging during the exposure process.

The atmosphere control system is used to control the environment in the working area of ​​the exposure stage to ensure that the photoresist is exposed under optimal conditions, including filters and temperature controllers.

Measuring system used to detect the position and rotation of silicon wafers, as well as parameters such as quality and thickness after exposure.Typically consists of sensors and computer interfaces to provide real-time feedback and adjust the position and parameters of the exposure table..."

He Tingbo is both a manager and a professional technician. When he talks about the Zhulong lithography machine, he naturally speaks loudly and confidently.

In addition to the exposure table, the internal components of a lithography machine also include more than a dozen large-scale spare parts such as lasers, beam straighteners, energy controllers, mask tables, and objective lenses. If she was asked to interpret them one by one, this press conference would probably be overwhelming. It takes two days and two nights.

Therefore, after He Tingbo introduced the structure of the exposure stage, he pondered for a moment and said:

"The Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine uses a 13.5 nm wavelength EUV light source. Compared with traditional deep ultraviolet lithography technology, it has higher optical resolution and lower schlieren effect. This is why it can support 7 nm and 5 nm The basis for nanochip production.

First of all, the power of the EUV light source reaches 55 watts, which can provide a powerful and stable light source to ensure good exposure effects and ultra-high production capacity.

Secondly, it has a production capacity of 160 wafers per hour, which can meet the needs of high-intensity and large-scale chip production.

Thirdly, the precise optical imaging system can accurately project the chip design pattern onto the silicon wafer. It has the excellent characteristics of high resolution and low distortion, which greatly reduces the production defect rate.

Finally, the advanced intelligent control system can monitor and adjust key parameters in the photolithography process in real time to ensure stable production efficiency and achieve consistent quality chip products. "

When He Tingbo said this, she directly switched to the screen projection and released the pricing system of the Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine.

The domestic version costs 2 million Chinese dollars, and the international version costs 7000 million US dollars!

Some people quickly realized that this was the price of the AMAZ TWINSCAN NXT 1980 Di.

Ames dared to sell a photolithography machine for 7000 million euros, and Shanhai Microelectronics was not inferior at all, and quoted a sky-high price of 7000 million US dollars!
In fact, after converting the exchange rate, the price of the Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine is discounted by 8000 million Chinese dollars!
In an instant, everyone realized that this was Shanhai Microelectronics’ second wave of revenge against Ames for banning sales.

The next days for Amais may not be easy!
Even if Bernard follows up on the price reduction strategy, will semiconductor companies in Greater China and Asia choose Ames?

Before the press conference was over, the outside world started talking about it.

Shanhai Microelectronics’ so-called 100% independent research and development is equivalent to telling the global lithography equipment manufacturers, don’t you love to increase prices?

Labor and capital will not buy it!
Bernard, who was thousands of miles away, immediately panicked as his eyelids twitched!
If Ames loses the Greater China market, the company's annual revenue will drop by one-third, which is more than 200 billion Chinese dollars!
"Big reversal! China's lithography machines are on the rise, and AMSL is helpless!"

“China’s first domestically produced lithography machine was launched - Zhulong 10800, priced at 2 million Chinese dollars, which is less than [-]% of Ames!”

"The candle dragon's silence is dark, but its vision is clear! Shanhai Microelectronics has swept away the darkness of China's semiconductor industry!"

"The fire is passed down from generation to generation. Xu Duanyi, the father of lithography machine, supports Shanhai!"

"50 Years of Domestic Lithography Machines: Can a single spark start a prairie fire? Mountain and sea microelectronics can turn the world upside down!"

"Neon is panicking, beautiful country is in panic! Zhulong 10800 is born!"

Social platforms, mainstream print media, HCTV’s midday news, and dozens of websites and TV stations across the country switched channels to provide in-depth coverage of the press conference.

Among them, of course there is the instruction of Mr. Meng, but also the strong influence of Shanhai Group itself.

Penguin, Wangyi, Xinlang, Souhu, Douyin, Feishou and Tiantian Toutiao all have the shadow of Shanhai Capital behind them.

The people in charge of these companies, who are equal to the achievements of the parent company, naturally spare no effort to publicize them!
"2 million Chinese dollars? Damn it, after the cost of photolithography machines comes down, can the price of domestic mobile phones be cheaper in the future?"

"Haha! Amais's good days are finally over!"

"Shanhai Micro-electronics cowhide! This slapped Ames in the face hard. Didn't they say that even if we gave the blueprints to China, we wouldn't be able to make it?"

Netizens got excited and went to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram to ridicule! (End of chapter)
