Chapter 194 Foundation laying of wafer foundry

"It's just right. I'm going to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the wafer foundry tomorrow, so I won't be able to go to the store to help. My dad alone can't handle it."

After a night of silence, the next morning, Qiao Ruida drove her car to the construction site in the southern suburbs of Decheng City early. At ten o'clock in the morning, Qiao Ruida, Morris, and a group of leaders sent by the city and province held a lively groundbreaking ceremony on the construction site. A senior official in charge of industry took the lead and used a shovel to shovel the first shovelful of soil and bury it at the base of a stone tablet with the two characters "foundation" written on it. Then a group of leaders, Qiao Ruida and Morris, worked together to shovel up more soil and lay it around the stone monument.

Because of the participation of provincial leaders, the media reporting on the scene today has been upgraded to a higher level. Reporters from several provincial TV stations and provincial newspapers rushed to the scene. Conducted on-site coverage of the groundbreaking ceremony of Rockchip's wafer foundry.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, firecrackers rang out and machines roared at the construction site. A large number of construction workers began to enter the site to start the infrastructure work of the wafer foundry. The construction companies responsible for the construction include China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited, and some local construction companies in Decheng City. The number of construction workers dispatched at the same time exceeded 20,000, and the number of construction machinery exceeded 2,000 (vehicles). It can be said that these construction companies have tried their best to rush for the construction period.

Such a large-scale construction scene is rare to see. A group of news media filmed here for a long time before calling it a day and leaving. The senior officials and the group watched the construction situation for a while, and then, under the leadership of Qiao Ruida, went to Ruida Electronics Factory for a visit.

When visiting the mobile phone production workshop, senior officials just nodded in approval and said nothing. There are still several similar mobile phone manufacturers in Bac Ha Province. The production lines here are just more automated and the mobile phones they produce are more advanced. That's all. It's not surprising.

After visiting the mobile phone assembly and production workshop, Qiao Ruida led a group of leaders to put on dustproof clothing and entered the chip production workshop. When they saw with their own eyes that batch after batch of silicon wafers were processed and walked off the production line, everyone was so shocked that they almost lost their voices.

The senior official took Qiao Ruida's hand and asked excitedly: "Classmate Qiao, if I read correctly, these equipment are a chip production line. Can you tell me how many NM the production line is?"

Qiao Ruida smiled and said: "Senior Wu, you are indeed very discerning. This is indeed a chip production line. It was just completed and put into operation a few days ago. It is currently producing a 28nm Bluetooth chip. Its processing technology has reached the world's mainstream level. . In the future, if we apply repeated glue coating and multiple exposure technologies, we can even produce 14nm and 7nm chips."

"I previously thought that Rockchip wafer foundry was the first chip manufacturer built in our province. Unexpectedly, Ruida Electronics Factory had already taken the lead and built a global mainstream chip production line. It’s incredible that it’s being put into mass production.”

Hearing the praise from senior officials, Qiao Ruida chuckled and said: "This production line is very small in scale. It only consists of four dust-free workshops. The production capacity is very limited. It can only do some tape-out or small-batch production work, and it is in line with the construction of Ruijie. Rockchip wafer foundries are incomparable. I originally invested in building this chip production line to solve the problem of chip tape-out testing. At the same time, I used this place as a talent training base to train a large number of chips in advance for Rockchip wafer foundries. Production talents."   The senior official patted Qiao Ruida on the shoulder and praised: "This is already very good. According to the information I learned, yours is the first chip production line in mainland China to implement 28nm processing technology. Even the famous China Core International has only realized the 40nm chip processing technology."

At noon, a group of senior officials had a working meal in the staff canteen. In the afternoon, they continued to visit three other dust-free workshops. All the leaders were amazed when they saw countless finished Bluetooth chips walking off the production line after passing the test.

"Student Qiao, this little chip costs at least dozens of yuan, right?"

"Absolutely. This 28nm process Bluetooth chip comes with noise reduction function. It is considered a relatively high-end Bluetooth chip, and the current production qualification rate is a bit low. If this chip is sold externally, it will cost about one hundred yuan. If it is processed into For Bluetooth headset products, a pair costs as much as four to five hundred.”

"Look at the production speed. In just one minute, thousands of chips come off the production line, with a total value of millions. No wonder Mr. Deng said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Just look at how fast this chip production line is making money. , simply faster than printing money.”

In response to everyone's comments, Qiao Ruida just smiled and did not express an opinion. In fact, the current pass rate of the entire chip production line is only about 20%. Even if the factory price of Bluetooth chips is set at a high price of 100 yuan, it can barely breakeven. No matter how many Bluetooth chips you produce, you won't make much money. It means that Reda Technology has mastered the entire industry chain from chip design, chip production, finished Bluetooth headset assembly, and online sales, so it can be profitable. Of course, if the processing technology of this chip production line continues to be optimized and the chip qualification rate continues to increase, sooner or later there will be a day of substantial profits.

After the visit, Qiao Ruida took out a batch of the latest designed split Bluetooth headsets and gave them to leaders and media friends as small gifts for the visit.

That evening, news that senior officials attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Rockchip's wafer foundry and visited the Reda Electronics Factory appeared on the news column of Bac Ha Satellite TV. Joe Reda and Morris, as investor representatives, also had the honor of appearing on the TV screen for a few seconds. This visit made Qiao Ruida and his Ruida Electronics Factory famous in the province. In today's impetuous society, there are too few entrepreneurs who are willing to invest huge sums of money and delve into the industrial field. Each one of them is worthy of attention.

In the next few days, Qiao Ruida's family completed the moving work one after another, and on the evening of the 24th, they held a grand housewarming party in the newly decorated villa. That night, more than people in total, including relatives and friends of both parents, classmates and friends of Qiao Ruida and Qiao Ruixue, as well as Du Qingqing and her mother, attended the housewarming party. In order to receive the crowd, Qiao Ruida ordered five tables of meals and bought tens of thousands of dollars in drinks from a nearby restaurant.
