Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Compared with the high sentiment of domestic netizens, although ordinary people did not respond to the news overseas, enterprises and companies in the high-end semiconductor chip manufacturing supply chain will still pay attention to it.

Not only did the stock price fluctuate significantly, but also because the person in charge of the project this time was Xu Yun.

This is not the first time Huafang has publicly developed a high-end lithography machine.

Other forces have had similar ideas before and put them into action.

No expense was spared in investing a lot of money and talent.

Only in order to master advanced technology to obtain the initiative in the semiconductor field and have the right to speak.

But for these news, companies that have entered the supply chain and occupy the vast majority of the global market share did not take it seriously.

They don't think there is an independent entity that can put aside the entire existing supply chain to achieve new high-end chip manufacturing.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Up to now, only they are able to package and manufacture high-end chips below 7 nanometers. Other forces have not even developed a lithography machine for 28-nanometer chips in a real sense. There is a gap between the two. The gap is huge.

Under the critical common time, while others are working hard on research and development, their technology is also upgrading.

If nothing else, it will always be able to stay ahead.

Overtaking on a curve can only be called a fairy tale in the field of high-end lithography machine manufacturing.

Naihe this time is a bit special.

Before Xu Yun solved the world's mathematical problems and all-solid-state batteries, no one believed that there would be a miracle.

As a result, Xu Yun slapped everyone in the face with practical actions.

And with the emergence of the new high-end photoresist of the artificial intelligence model Benben, the human design has become more and more stable.

With so many lessons learned before his eyes, it is equivalent to covering Xu Yun with a layer of mystery. Under such circumstances, only stupid people will still be so arrogant that they don't worry about it at all.

It can be said that only Xu Yun became the person in charge of the high-end lithography machine project, and this news caused the entire semiconductor industry to turbulent.

The stock price of TSMC, the world's first professional chip manufacturing service company, fell against the market.

Qualcomm is not far behind.

Although the downtrend quickly stabilized and there was a technical correction, it was already able to explain the problem.

……

"President, what we were worried about happened. Xu Yun has been officially in charge of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project. If they can really complete the autonomy of the high-end chip manufacturing industry chain, it will pose a serious threat to us."

"At that time, it will not be a problem of our insufficient production capacity, but the photoresist produced will not be sold at all."

At the Shin-Etsu Industrial Headquarters of Dongjing, Sugihara Makoto met with the president immediately after receiving the news uploaded from the Internet to report.

A few days ago, he was severely reprimanded by the chairman because of the new photoresist.

But facing Xu Yun, he was really worried.

Even if you know you will be criticized by the president, you still have to report it immediately.

When Kimura Ryohei saw Sugihara Makoto suddenly come in, he was about to have a seizure, but after hearing the news, he choked back his words.

It seemed that there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't help getting up from the chair in the next second and covering it up by pacing.

Try to keep yourself as calm as possible.

"What are you panicking about?"

"It's just responsible for the project, and it's not that a high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has been developed."

"After the news came out, many companies in the supply chain showed signs of falling stock prices, which shows that the market is optimistic about them. Maybe the other party can really develop an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine." Sugihara Makoto couldn't care less at this time. Kimura Ryohei's tone of accusation immediately expressed his worries: "That is a genius scientist who has created many miracles."

"You don't need to remind me of that."

Kimura Ryohei turned around and stared at Sugihara Makoto, with warmth and anger on his face.

Very unhappy with the tone of the other party.

Sugihara Makoto was stunned and fell silent when he heard this sentence.

After a few seconds passed, Ryohei Kimura calmed down a little and asked a question again.

"Do you really think that Xu Yun can develop a high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machine?"

Although Makoto Sugihara didn't know why Kimura Ryohei asked this suddenly, but as a subordinate, he still chose to answer truthfully.

After thinking for a moment in his mind, he organized his words and slowly expressed his views.

"Mr. Xu is a very special person. He can always do things that surprise everyone. The key is that he was only a young man in his 20s when he achieved the achievements that most scientists could not achieve in their lifetime."

"It's a very scary talent."

"If there is anyone else who can conquer high-end lithography machine manufacturing technology, he must be in the options."

"President."

"We should have taken some countermeasures in advance."

In the end, Makoto Sugihara made a suggestion to Ryohei Kimura. From his point of view, he really considered for the company.

It's a pity that Ryohei Kimura didn't intend to adopt it.

I was eager to continue talking, but was interrupted by Kimura Ryohei's voice next to my ear.

"You have a lot of confidence in him."

"But there is one thing you obviously forgot. The development of high-end lithography machines is no simpler than other technologies in the field."

"The entire lithography machine contains more than 7 parts, tens of thousands of mechanical parts and hundreds of sensors. No matter how strong his personal talent is, it is absolutely impossible to manufacture a lithography machine below [-] nanometers."

"So don't worry."

"Instead of worrying that our photoresist will not be sold, we should think about how to increase production capacity."

"That's your job."

"You don't need to worry about other things, and you don't need to worry about them."

Kimura Ryohei has spoken to this extent. Sugihara Makoto knows that it is impossible to change anything, so naturally he will not continue to raise questions to avoid making his boss unhappy for no reason.

"It's the president."

He nodded in response and remained silent again.

His knowledge of Xu Yun basically comes from online information, and he has never had any real contact with him in private.

Thinking about it carefully compared to the estimation of Xu Yun's level, he should be more aware of what he is best at.

For example, the most important link in the high-end chip manufacturing supply chain.

Extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

As the chairman Ryohei Kimura said, each lithography machine consists of more than [-] parts. This is a very large task, and it will be very difficult for Xu Yun to solve it by himself.

After all, other members of the project may not necessarily have the same high level.

In this way, even if the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine can be conquered, the time and cost required in the middle will be very huge.

By then almost the industry has ushered in a new upgrade.

Thinking about it this way, there is really nothing to worry about.

Then, just as he was thinking about it quickly, Kimura Ryohei, who sat back on the chair, added: "Don't forget that we are not the only companies in this supply chain, and they will not look at it either. High-end lithography machine manufacturing technology breaks through the blockade."

"President, you mean?" Sugihara Makoto blurted out realizing something.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ryohei Kimura raising his hand in his seat: "We don't need to worry too much about this matter, we just need to pay proper attention to market trends."

"I understand President."

When the matter was discussed here, Makoto Sugihara's mentality gradually changed and he regained his composure.

After saying hello again, he turned and left.

Kimura Ryohei stared at Makoto Sugihara's back, and did not look away until his figure completely disappeared from sight.

Sitting alone in the chair, his expression gradually dimmed, and he began to mutter involuntarily.

"Why this kind of genius does not belong to our Neon, it is really a pity."

……

at the same time.

Qualcomm Electronics headquarters in California.

At the company's high-level meeting, more than a dozen people, including CEO Anlen Cove, were looking at a newspaper in their hands.

This newspaper is the latest issue of the Twist Times, and the cover is occupied by Xu Yun in a formal suit.

The content of the news is exactly what Xu Yun is in charge of the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project.

At the end of the article, comments from several authoritative experts in the semiconductor field are attached.

Some are optimistic that miracles may indeed happen.

Some expressed pessimism that the project could not succeed.

As the world's leading wireless technology innovation company that connects mobile phones to the Internet.

They revolutionized the way the world continuously computes and communicates.

Among them, the core business is high-end chips.

In the past, they were able to restrict Kirin chips by various means, so that they could not be produced and phased out, successfully ensuring their global share in the high-end chip market.

Originally, this high-end chip industry structure will not change much in the next few years.

As a result, Xu Yun was born suddenly.

They must know something about this genius who has spread his fame from the mathematics world and is now almost known to everyone.

Knowing that Xu Yun took over the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried at all.

If the other party can really conquer the extreme ultraviolet high-end lithography machine technology and successfully establish a chip manufacturing supply chain below 7 nanometers, more and more high-end chips with stable and superior performance will definitely be designed and manufactured, which will inevitably have a negative impact on their chip business. Influence.

As the CEO of the company, Anlenkov obviously does not want to see this happen.

"I think everyone already understands the situation, so please share your views first."

At this moment Anlenkov put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his gaze and swept across the faces of the crowd while making a magnetic voice.

As soon as the words fell, someone took over and expressed their opinions.

"It is true that the other party now has a new type of high-end photoresist, but it is not easy to realize the manufacture of high-end chips. At least in a short period of time, we don't have to worry about this at all."

There are more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, and it is naturally impossible for everyone to hold the same point of view.

After the other party finished his point of view, someone said: "It is very stupid to underestimate a person who has repeatedly created miracles. One day he will pay for his stupidity."

It's just that this person's remarks have not been supported by the majority of people, and everyone is basically optimistic.

To put it simply, I don't believe that Xu Yun can complete this project well.

"I don't think it's stupid, but rather confident."

"It doesn't matter how talented they are, they lag behind in the field of high-end chip manufacturing, and the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine cannot be developed by one person."

"Don't forget his age. The knowledge that can be mastered in a limited time is limited after all. If you really think that a new project leader will usher in a technological breakthrough, that is a big mistake."

"If they want to research and develop, they can research and develop. Anyway, they still have to purchase our chips in the end."

Anlenkov sat at the head seat of the conference table, frowning slightly after listening to everyone's words.

After that, he seemed to be lost in thought and did not speak.

Others could only wait patiently for this, making the entire meeting room immediately quiet.

This state lasted for about 2 minutes before Anlenkov finally made a decision to raise his head again.

"In any case, this matter is related to the entire supply chain, and we cannot do nothing."

"Since we can't prevent the other party from developing high-end lithography machines, we should find a way to make it more difficult for them, so that even if they don't want to give up, they can still give us a guarantee."

"No one can destabilize the semiconductor market."

With their company's authority and status in related fields, it's easy to add some difficulties to Xu Yun.

After all, they are the technology patent owners.

The entire high-end chip manufacturing is complicated and involves many things. If it is leveraged to increase the difficulty, it will easily cause huge mental pressure and make the project unable to proceed.

Seeing that the CEO has made a decision, how can other people raise different opinions at this time.

It can be regarded as acquiescing to Anlenkov's approach.

And perhaps it was a strong hint of uneasiness in his heart, Anlenkov's actions were very smooth and fast.

Within a few days, the relevant departments issued a document requiring all EDA industrial software companies to screen users and take measures to prohibit authorization for some users.

The so-called EDA industrial software is the abbreviation of electronic design automation.

It is mainly used to design packaging and testing chips.

It is also an important link in chip manufacturing.

The key is the same as the high-end lithography machine, and there is no EDA software that can meet the needs of high-end chip design in China.

Obviously this is a project aimed at Xu Yun.

When the news spread back to the Internet, it immediately aroused widespread discussion, and major media scrambled to report.

The emergence of new high-end photoresist, coupled with Xu Yun's research on the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine project, the good news in the two major semiconductor industries has just mobilized everyone's enthusiasm. It can be said that everyone is full of enthusiasm for the future development of the semiconductor market. hope.

I feel that Xu Yun is able to break through technical limitations.

It turned out that this happened at such a time, which undoubtedly had a great impact on morale.

Especially when I learned that there is no EDA software available, my pessimism gradually took over my expectations.

As for the comments below the related articles and videos, you can vaguely see everyone's expectations for Xu Yun, and hope that Xu Yun can create a miracle again and completely solve this mess.

"This time things are a little troublesome."

"Those guys are too good at doing things. I'm afraid we will develop our own high-end chip manufacturing industry chain."

"Trust Professor Xu."

"If you don't want to use it, you just don't need it. Let Deepin Technology develop one."

"In short, I believe that Professor Xu will be able to complete this project and bring good news to all of us."

……

Compared with what happened on the Internet, Xu Yun, who had already boarded the plane and flew to Jincheng Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute, didn't know about it for the time being.

At this moment, he was sitting in his seat, feeling the plane passing by the clouds, closing his eyes slightly to recharge his batteries.

On May 2020, 5, Jincheng, the passenger passage of the International Airport.

After about three hours of flight, Xu Yun came out of the passenger passage with the suitcase alone.

Originally, his driver and bodyguard Wang Pengfei was going to follow him to Jincheng this time, but in the end he let him stay in Jingzhou and temporarily work as Chen Shihe's driver.

Mainly, although he came to Jincheng for the first time, it was not for tourism, and he would spend most of his time at the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology.

Safety is unquestionable.

What's more, in his current capacity, he has long been on the focus list.

Although you will not notice any abnormalities in normal life, as long as special situations arise, someone will act immediately.

Yu Hongda revealed this to him in the conductor.

"It would be nice to have a chance to hang out here." Looking at the scenery outside through the airport glass, Xu Yun thought to himself.

Just as he was about to go directly to the research institute to report, he saw a familiar figure of Youdao coming into view.

Seeing the other party, he was startled for a while, then walked over at a faster pace.

Surprise appeared on his face when he reached him.

Hurry up and say hello.

"Dean Hou, why are you here?"

That's right.

The acquaintance he saw was Hou Shengchang, the president of the Academy of Sciences.

Originally, Hou Shengchang returned to the imperial capital after talking to him about the researcher, but he didn't expect to appear in Jincheng suddenly, and it seemed that he was waiting for him specially.

Hou Shengchang didn't show off, and explained with a smile on his face: "Since I invited you here from Beijing University, I must do a good job to help you successfully complete the project connection with the research institute. We don't have much time left."

Hearing these words suddenly, Xu Yun felt a little puzzled, but just as he was about to ask, he saw Hou Shengchang walking outside.

And didn't forget to remind him specifically.

"Follow me to the research institute first, and I will tell you about other things on the way."

Hearing this, Xu Yun naturally wouldn't twitch anything, nodded in response, and then stepped behind the other party.

"Okay, Dean Hou."

-

Not long after, he and Hou Shengchang sat in the prepared business car before asking the other party to hand over a mobile phone.

The screen is on and the above information is displayed.

"Look at this first."

Xu Yun held back the doubts in his heart for the time being, reached out to take the phone and lowered his eyes to carefully check the content on it.

Soon there was a hint of surprise between his brows.

What Hou Shengchang showed him was the relevant statement issued by the EDA giant company Xinskiden.

According to the statement, they will not be able to obtain licenses for software upgrades to new versions.

In this way, even if the original software can still be used, the performance of the chip cannot be optimized.

It is equivalent to being locked at a certain level.

At this time, Hou Shengchang noticed the change in Xu Yun's expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

"It was a little sudden, but it was expected." Xu Yun handed the phone back and replied calmly.

After Hou Shengchang took over the phone, he continued: "The more the enemy does this, the more they are afraid. They are afraid that we will really develop a domestic high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and complete an independent chip manufacturing industry chain." On the contrary, he seemed to be looking forward to it more and more.
