Roaming in the dark

Chapter 469 The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly felt tense

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became tense, and everyone seemed to be targeting Professor Zheng.

It's also normal, these guys from 211 and 985 colleges, who are usually arrogant and think that they can dominate one side, are treated well by an old lady who can't even speak and can't even be ranked in 211 and 985. After scolding for a while, he was full of anger, so of course he had to seize the opportunity to fight back.

The leader sitting at the head of the conference table remained calm. He was also looking at Professor Zheng with great interest to see how she would respond.

Professor Zheng didn't raise her head, she kept her head down. It wasn't that she was impolite, but that if she looked up at the speaker, she couldn't type. If she wanted to respond, she had to lower her head.

Professor Zheng moved his fingers almost without thinking, and lines of words jumped out on the screen in the conference room:
"Of course it is to raise the chip to the national strategy."

Everyone in the conference room laughed, and the guy who just asked the question said, "What a great idea. Unfortunately, the country has already done this, and the decision-makers have long been aware of this problem."

After he finished speaking, the others burst into laughter again.

"Yes, it has been done for a long time, but the effect is not obvious enough, and the direction is not clear enough." Professor Zheng continued.

"Hey, the direction is not clear enough, and the tone is loud enough. Is it necessary for you to point out the direction for everyone?" The guy continued to say in a mocking tone.

Professor Zheng looked up at him, and continued typing: "Are you here to argue? If you want to raise an argument, you can go to Weibo or my blog. If you want to argue for a week and a month, I will accompany you. Don't waste it here." Time, this is not an occasion for arguing."

The guy was speechless for a moment and blushed.

The leader raised his hand and said to Professor Zheng: "Professor Zheng, tell me what you think, I would like to hear it too."

Professor Zheng typed:
"Chips are divided into mature process and high-end process. Those above 14nm are mature processes, and those below 7nm are high-end processes. The production capacity of high-end processes is mainly in TSMC and Samsung, especially TSMC, accounting for more than 90.00% of the most high-end chips below 5nm. production capacity. Although TSMC is a Taiwanese company, its largest shareholder is Citibank of the United States.

"The United States wants to suppress us, and the chips that are stuck in our necks are also high-end process chips, so TSMC stopped manufacturing for Huawei. Huawei HiSilicon has the ability to design high-end chips, but it can't find a factory that can manufacture them. This is Huawei , It is also the short board of our country. It is precisely because of the US's suppression of Huawei that we realize the importance of chips.

"The most critical equipment that determines chip manufacturing is the lithography machine. Our country is not incapable of manufacturing lithography machines, but it is incapable of manufacturing lithography machines that can produce high-end chips. Asmer, the Netherlands, produces high-end chip lithography machines. The only company that is restricted by the United States, they have no way to export high-end chip lithography machines to us.

"How can this situation be broken? I know that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is organizing forces to develop our own high-end chip lithography machine, but this, to be honest, cannot be successfully developed in a short time, let alone five or ten years, or three years. We have always Being stuck in the neck, I can't bear it, I will suffocate.

"How to break through, I think we have to be short and fast, and we have to choose the place where we can overcome the difficulties in the shortest time. Where, that is to concentrate our efforts, break through and increase the production capacity of mature process chips. We already have this ability. Instead of us, instead of spending funds and technical strength on catching up with the highest-end chip manufacturing process.

"That's what I said, be clear about the direction.

"In the entire chip field, the actual application ratio of mature and high-end processes is that the demand for mature process chips accounts for 80.00% of the total chip demand. Second, high-end processes, such as 3nm and 5nm chips, are mainly used in mobile phones and computers. Chips have reached 7nm, but most consumer-grade chips, such as automotive and smart digital products, use chips with mature processes.

"For example, cars use chips with 28nm and more mature processes, aerospace-grade weapons-grade chips, and more chip processes at 40nm, 130nm, and 150nm. These, the United States cannot hold us back.

"Everyone must have been deeply impressed by the global shortage of automotive chips since last year. The reason is that TSMC, Samsung and Intel have used their production capacity to produce high-end chips with higher profits, and the production capacity of automotive chips is insufficient.

"There is probably only one car company in the world that was not troubled by the shortage of car chips last year, and that is our BYD. BYD produces chips by itself. Their car chips are not only self-sufficient, but also provided to other car companies.

"What enlightenment does the car chip shortage give us, that is, don't think that only high-end process chips can bring troubles to everyone, and can get stuck, and mature process chips can also do the same.

"Going back to the direction I said earlier, the direction is not clear. I think what we need to take advantage of now is to take advantage of the advantages of our large manufacturing country and the national system, and concentrate on developing chips with mature processes instead of high-end process chips. Our mature process chips achieve the ultimate.

"The advantage of a big manufacturing country is that once we enter this industry, we can achieve winner-take-all and will not give others room to live. Our household appliances, especially the microwave oven industry, were like this.

"The purpose of our vigorous development of mature process chips is to take advantage of the advantages of scale to achieve the price of cabbage for mature process chips. Even if our profits are very low, we must make others unprofitable. The purpose is to take advantage of price advantages. Occupy the market of mature process chips all over the world.

"Don't be afraid. The country can provide subsidies in this regard. Don't be afraid of others pointing fingers. When the United States subsidizes their companies, they are naked. When did they cover it up? We just want to be the number one in the world's mature process chips with a high profile. , All-round leadership and monopoly, high-profile is also to persuade other countries to follow up.

"Once such a situation is formed, we have the right to speak and have room for bargaining. If the United States restricts my high-end process chips, well, I will retaliate and prohibit the export of my mature process chips to the United States, causing your cars and There are no cores available in other industries, or the cost increases several times or ten times, making your products uncompetitive.

"In this way, when the United States wants to sanction us with high-end chips, he will have to weigh it. This creates a balance of terror. If there is no war, everyone will live in peace. Otherwise, if you want to hit me in this place, I will be in another place." Hit you in one place, you hit yours, I hit mine, and finally hurt each other.

"The most important thing is that we want to concentrate our financial resources, material resources and manpower to compete with others in high-end process chips. To be honest, this is something we have no idea about now, unless we overtake at a bend and realize the mass production of quantum chips. The table has been turned, otherwise, we really have no certainty of winning.

"In the mature manufacturing process, we have the conditions and the ability to form a monopoly position in the world. We just need a few more BYDs, or form a few giant companies with mixed ownership. This is what we are fully capable of doing. To, and within the shortest possible time, what can be done.”

After Professor Zheng finished speaking, the conference room was once again completely silent.

　Thank you Shanheshuirong for the monthly pass!Thanks for all the votes and reading!I wish everyone good health!
