Chapter 588 God-level support, Nanshan equipment is popular

It’s not that China doesn’t know how important the chip industry is.

Since 2000, China has continuously enhanced the strategic position of the semiconductor industry and continued to vigorously support the development of the domestic semiconductor industry through various policies.

In 2000, the Government Affairs Council issued "Several Opinions on Encouraging the Development of the Software Industry and the Integrated Circuit Industry", proposing tax incentives for the domestic integrated circuit industry for the first time.

In 2006, the Government Affairs Council issued the "National Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020)" and formally proposed the concepts of Special Project 01 and Special Project 02. This special project is centered around the semiconductor industry.

Among them, the goal of Special Project 01 is that by 2020, my country will basically form an internationally competitive high-tech R&D and innovation system in the fields of high-end general-purpose chips, basic software and core electronic devices, and play an important role in the development of global electronic information technology and industry. .

The goal of the 02 special project is during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, that is, from 2006 to 2010, focusing on the commercialization of 90-nanometer manufacturing equipment and the localization of several key technologies and components.

Research and development of 65 nanometer manufacturing equipment prototypes, breakthroughs in several key technologies below 45 nanometers.

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, that is, from 2011 to 2015, the key implementation contents and goals include: focusing on 45-22nm key manufacturing equipment, developing 32-22nm CMOS processes, 90-65nm characteristic processes, and developing 22nm key manufacturing equipment. -14nm forward-looking research, forming 65-45nm equipment, materials, process supporting capabilities and integrated circuit manufacturing industry chain, further narrowing the gap with the world's advanced level, and the share of equipment and materials in the domestic market has reached 10% and 20% respectively. Develop international markets.

It can be said that this plan is very good.

However, the gap between domestic and international is too big, so we are often helpless.

If it were not for Nanshan equipment, these goals would obviously not be achieved.

This year is 2010, which can be regarded as the final year of the first phase of the 02 project.

But let alone the key technologies of 45 nanometers, even the prototype of 65 nanometer manufacturing equipment cannot be handled.

At most, the 90nm manufacturing equipment products have achieved certain results, but there is still a big gap between the market share reaching 10%.

Now Nanshan equipment suddenly appeared and mass-produced 65-nanometer manufacturing equipment directly. According to the paper, there is no problem even if it is used at 45-nanometer or lower Chen He.

For China, this has a very different meaning.

Whether the overall goal can be achieved by then basically depends on Nanshan Equipment.

So after this information spread, it immediately caused a huge shock in all aspects.

"Ayang, my uncle asked me to ask you in private, how true are those rumors?"

"Is our Nanshan equipment really already mass-producing 65-nanometer photolithography machines and other related equipment?"

Fang Sisi paid less attention to work matters during this period, but began to care for her baby with peace of mind.

However, this time's incident obviously had a greater impact, so it was impossible for her to ignore everything.

After all, my uncle has called me.

"What we are mainly doing in the first phase is car-grade chips, and 65-nanometer technology can fully meet the production needs of all car-grade chips at this stage."

"So what we announced to the outside world is that we have mastered the 65-nanometer production equipment technology."

"Our next step will be to focus on various chips for Honor mobile phones, and by then we will be mass-producing related equipment within 45 nanometers."

"Of course, in theory, after our photolithography machine is gradually upgraded in the future, it can also handle the 14-nanometer process."

"But this will take some time to complete."

Naturally, it is impossible for Cao Yang to directly ask Nanshan Equipment to produce 14 nanometer or even 7 nanometer production equipment.

That's too exaggerated.

After all, even the industry giant Intel has not mastered the technology. If it suddenly appears in a Chinese company, it will definitely arouse covetousness from other parties.

At that time, it may not be a good thing for Nanshan Group.

It would be better to first develop the 65-nanometer equipment needed by Nanshan Semiconductor, and then move forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Anyway, for China, as long as it can handle 65-nanometer equipment, it can actually meet more than [-]% of its chip needs.

The meaning behind this is extraordinary.

"so smart?"

Fang Sisi looked at Cao Yang in surprise.

Of course she believed Cao Yang. Cao Yang had no reason to lie to her about this kind of thing.

But because of this, she felt surprised.

"Although the annual output value of Nanshan Equipment is not very conspicuous within the group, the equipment business has always been one of the troika of the group, and I have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in it."

"In the past, Nanshan Group's annual R&D investment accounted for 10% of its turnover. This ratio is definitely extremely exaggerated."

"Especially as Nanshan Group's turnover continues to expand, the proportion of R&D expenses has not declined significantly."

"The money burned behind this is not a lot of money at all."

"Especially at Nanshan Equipment, research on various new equipment is in full swing every year."

“Maybe there will be even more surprising devices launched in the future.”

The equipment industry has always been a domestic weakness.

Cao Yang has always attached great importance to the development of this industry.

Without upgrading the equipment, Nanshan Group's industrial business will be like a castle in the air, and major problems may occur at any time.

Especially as Nanshan Group's influence grows, the possibility of problems becomes higher.

Haven’t you seen that Nanshan Carbon Fiber is still being sanctioned by the United States?

If Nanshan Semiconductor is so powerful in the future, it will definitely be sanctioned by the United States.

It is not surprising that the sanctions will be even stronger at that time.

Cao Yang could predict this scenario, so he naturally had to prepare for this situation.

Otherwise, no matter how high you stand now, you will fall badly when the time comes.

"I feel relieved with your words. Then I'll call uncle back."

"Listen to what he means. If the news is true, there will be some special actions immediately."

When Fang Sisi said this, Cao Yang also understood that she was not simply chatting with him, but represented a special confirmation.

Sure enough, two days later, Cao Yang received a call from Lingnan Province to prepare for the visit of the dean of the Government Affairs Council.

Preparations for this kind of inspection usually start half a month in advance, or even earlier.

The projects and personnel in each link are fully confirmed and communicated in advance.

But this time it was very sudden. On the third day after Cao Yang received the contact, the dean came over.

Along with them came the heads of various ministries.

It’s not that Nanshan Group has never received guests, even the vice president of the Government Affairs Council has been here many times.

But this is the first time for such a special reception, such a large-scale and high-level reception.

That evening, Huaxia TV announced the status of today's dean's inspection.

The entire 5 minutes were spent introducing the video of the dean’s inspection of Nanshan Equipment, and also focused on introducing a number of Nanshan Equipment’s top products.

It can be said that the advertising effect of this report alone exceeds 1 million.

"Mr. Cao, we have just received notices from Lingnan Province and Yangcheng City that all taxes and fees on Nanshan equipment will be halved in the next three years."

“Among them, businesses related to the semiconductor industry are directly exempted from all taxes.”

"All taxes already paid on businesses related to the semiconductor industry in the past will be returned to our company within this year."

"This support is very strong."

Pan Jinxing was in a very good mood.

In recent years, he has kept a relatively low profile at Nanshan Equipment.

But as he also serves as the deputy general manager of Nanshan Group, his status is definitely not low.

Nanshan Equipment's performance over the years has never disappointed.

This time is no exception.

“In addition to tax benefits, are there any other benefits?”

After such a big battle, it would be strange if there was no follow-up.

So Cao Yang was not surprised when he heard the news.

China has attached great importance to the semiconductor industry for so many years. Now that it has finally seen the dawn of victory, it is natural to work harder.

"It really does exist!"

"As long as you are an employee of Nanshan Semiconductor, whether you work in Shanghai, Guangzhou, or elsewhere, you can enjoy the convenience of settling directly."

"This convenient condition may not be particularly meaningful to Yangcheng employees."

"But for the employees in Magic City, it is of great significance."

"Even with this condition, we can still recruit a group of talents from the market!"

When Pan Jinxing said this, Cao Yang became interested.

The Shanghai household registration in 2010!
This is something that even money can't buy.

For high-tech talents, the attraction is still there.

Nanshan Semiconductor's current moves are so big that it needs the support of various talent teams.

In the past, Huawei and BYD were asked to cooperate in building wafer fabs. In fact, an important reason was that they wanted to hire various technical personnel from each other for free.

Otherwise, if Nanshan Semiconductor relies solely on its own training and recruitment, the pace of development is still not fast enough.

"This condition is indeed good. In the future, we can focus on recruiting a group of talents in the Imperial and Magic Capitals, and even use these preferential conditions to recruit a group of international students overseas."

The number of international students today is not as exaggerated as it was in later generations.

Although there are some mixed talents, there are still quite a lot of talents coming out.

Naturally, Cao Yang would not ignore this group just because of the poor performance of a few people.

Construction of four wafer fabs will start at the same time this year, and there will definitely be other moves next year.

The work of recruiting and reserving personnel never stops for a quarter of an hour.

"In addition to support in settling in, Yangcheng also specially set aside a thousand acres of land for us in Zengcheng to prepare for the semiconductor division of Nanshan Equipment."

"These 1000 acres of land will be sold to us directly at a symbolic price of 1 yuan per mu."

Taxation, settlement, land, all these benefits are available.

Cao Yang was now a little curious about what other preferential measures Pan Jinxing had not yet introduced.As if sensing Cao Yang's emotions, Pan Jinxing immediately continued: "ICBC, China Construction Bank, Bank of China and other major banks plan to jointly provide a 100 billion yuan credit facility to Nanshan Equipment."

"As long as we need a loan, we can apply for it at any time and it will be approved at any time. The interest will be consistent with the current deposit amount."

Although it is not an interest-free loan, the interest rate is consistent with the deposit, which is quite powerful.

You must know that in this era, when companies seek bank loans, the loan interest rate can normally reach around seven points, which is much higher than what everyone will understand in later generations.

However, the deposit interest during the same period was only two or three points.

This is still regular!

If it's a demand deposit, it's less than one point.

Based on this calculation, the bank is completely helping Nanshan Equipment develop free of charge.

Of course, they must also complete the tasks assigned above.

"Any more?"

Cao Yang stared at Pan Jinxing, wanting to see what terms he had not yet stated.

"The last thing is that the China Semiconductor Industry Association invites us to join the association and will give us the title of vice president of the unit."

"I will also become vice president of the Semiconductor Industry Association."

Pan Jinxing said a little embarrassed.

However, don’t underestimate this condition.

This kind of industry association can sometimes be quite influential.

And this kind of association is not really a civil association. They have more functions than everyone thinks.

At critical moments, others can set standards.

It is said that first-class companies set standards, but sometimes these standards are not what you want to set.

Cao Yang was in a good mood after hearing Pan Jinxing's report here.

The semiconductor division of Nanshan Equipment can now roll up its sleeves and go big.

Even if everything gets messed up in the end, there will probably be someone to help wipe the mess.

Of course, the premise is that the technology of the photolithography equipment is real.

If there is moisture, then it will be troublesome.

After Nanshan Equipment was reported on China Channel, many other media also followed suit.

This makes many people very uneasy.

Among them, Samsung Electronics, which is preparing to make a big splash in China, is the most obvious.

"Mr. Park, we must pay attention this time!"

"The sales volume of Honor mobile phones owned by Nanshan Group in China this month should set another historical record for themselves."

"Nanshan Semiconductor built four wafer fabs and supporting packaging and testing plants in one go."

"Now even Nanshan Equipment has begun to produce its own chip processing equipment such as photolithography machines."

"This situation is very dangerous. It means that Nanshan Group has slowly formed a complete industrial chain of the chip industry. Over time, it will bring us huge risks."

Li Zailin shared his worries with Park Chung-hee uneasily.

Goryeo is only a small country, and its local market is relatively limited.

Whether it is Samsung's mobile phones or various semiconductor products, it is impossible to digest them domestically, and more overseas markets need to be found.

The United States and China are the two overseas markets that Samsung attaches most importance to.

Among them, the booming Chinese market has been Samsung’s focus in recent years.

So far, the overall progress has been relatively smooth.

Take Samsung computers for example. They had little presence before, but now many more people buy their laptops.

The situation is similar for home appliances such as Samsung TVs and Samsung washing machines.

What is even more worth looking forward to is Samsung's development in semiconductor components such as memory. The market prospects are very worth looking forward to.

Therefore, Samsung is internally preparing to increase investment in China to get the most lucrative piece of meat in China’s semiconductor industry.

Before, all the plans were going well.

But after Nanshan Semiconductor began to appear, the situation slowly changed.

Now Nanshan equipment has appeared again, making Li Zailin completely feel the crisis.

If China can be self-sufficient in the production of equipment for the chip industry, then various chip-related companies will definitely emerge in the next few years.

The market competition will become fierce immediately.

Chinese manufacturers have always been unique in cost control.

How will Samsung survive in China then?
Thinking of this, Li Zailin's face was full of sorrow.

It seems that my comfortable life in China is coming to an end?
Thinking that he would not be able to be a groom every day from now on, he became irritated.

"Nanshan Equipment is researching lithography machines. This is basically certain. Otherwise, China News Channel would not report it like that."

"But to say how advanced their lithography machines are, even surpassing ASML, I absolutely don't believe it."

"Mr. Li, don't you think that the higher China praises Nanshan Equipment and Nanshan Semiconductor, the more painful the fall will be?"

"I believe that China can produce lithography machines, but the gap between lithography machines and lithography machines is sometimes bigger than the gap between humans and dogs."

Park Chung-hee's point of view is actually quite popular.

After all, everyone knew the level of China's lithography machines before.

It is not surprising to say that Nanshan Equipment has achieved certain breakthroughs.

But no one believes that China's lithography machine technology has reached the internationally advanced level.

At least Park Chung-hee definitely doesn't believe it.

Even if there are various reports in the Chinese official media, he does not believe it.

After all, it can happen that we bought the chip from the United States, then polished off the manufacturer's markings and regarded it as a self-developed product. What else is impossible?
After all, Nanshan Equipment is a relatively well-known equipment manufacturer in China and even in the world. It is not so strange that they can produce some chip-related equipment.

"If other manufacturers announce that they have mastered advanced photolithography machine technology, I don't think they need to pay special attention to it."

"It's like the photolithography machine of Modu Microelectronics Equipment. It is said that it can be used to process 90 nanometer or even 65 nanometer chips. But in fact, the equipment is often prone to problems and the yield rate is not high. It is not very high at all. It makes business sense.”

"In other words, individual companies in China will purchase one or two units for special purposes and use them later,"

"But this time it's Nanshan equipment. I think it's a little different."

"They have always given everyone some surprises in the equipment field before, and I'm worried that this time will be the same."

Li Zailin obviously also had a good understanding of the situation of Nanshan equipment.

And the more you know, the weaker you feel in your heart.

This Nanshan equipment often doesn't play according to the routine!
"You worry too much!"

"Even American companies cannot produce advanced photolithography machines on their own. I don't believe Chinese companies can."

"If this is the case, then we are definitely not the ones who need to worry the most."

"After all, the most high-end chip industry is in the United States."

When Park Chung Hee said this, Li Zailin didn't know how to refute it.

After all, this is indeed true.

……

Nanshan Equipment has developed chip production equipment such as photolithography machines. As the largest semiconductor company in China, it is naturally impossible for SMIC to do nothing.

Even before SMIC internally determined whether it needed to go to Nanshan Equipment to investigate, it received instructions from shareholders, hoping that SMIC could purchase a set of chip production equipment from Nanshan Equipment.

This approach is definitely unacceptable to Wang Anguo.

But if Nanshan Equipment can really produce a photolithography machine that is comparable to ASML and has a price advantage, then the situation will be different.

"Mr. Wang, our expert team will know after a few days at the site as to whether Nanshan's equipment will work."

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real!"

"It will be inappropriate for us to make any decision before we understand the situation clearly."

As chief operating officer, Yang Bingning is very tolerant.

SMIC has already purchased a set of lithography machines from Modu Microelectronics Equipment, and it is not unacceptable to continue to purchase one from Nanshan Equipment.

Anyway, SMIC's foundry business currently does not produce particularly high-end chips, and the requirements for equipment are not that high.

Besides, SMIC's shareholder situation determines that some of its matters cannot be simply followed the market practices.

"Hey!"

"You are right, then arrange for an expert team to go to the site to take a look."

"If Nanshan Equipment's products can really meet our production needs, then there is nothing wrong with buying one."

"At that time, I will take this opportunity to work with ASML to control the price, so that every time I buy new equipment, the price will continue to rise."

Wang Anguo obviously also had objections to Asmai's approach of nailing you.

In fact, in addition to ASML's shareholders, other chip companies must also love and hate him.

Monopoly business is the most fragrant.

But for buyers, it is the least favorite.

"I guess ASML is also assessing the impact of this matter."

"If Nanshan Equipment can really have an impact on them, then the international semiconductor equipment industry will be reshuffled in the future."

"ASML finally eliminated Japan's Nikon and Canon, and now has a new competitor."

“It’s not a bad thing if we give it a proper push from behind.”

When Yang Bingning said this, Wang Anguo felt even more relaxed.

This matter, no matter what the final situation is, does not seem to be a bad thing for SMIC?
He is even looking forward to the performance of Nanshan equipment!
