Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"The reason is also very simple. There are no relevant patents in China, and the West has banned EUV and even DUV lithography machines in the country. Even if it is to break the West's monopoly on this technology, China will encourage research and development in related fields. As for international patents, Yes, when it comes to the game between great powers, patents are nothing." Although what Zhou Wanda said was vulgar, it was also true.

"Okay, you are right, but our Reda Technology Company is too small, has limited R&D personnel, and does not have the right expertise. We cannot afford the heavy responsibility of developing EUV lithography machines. Please wait until I get the EUV drawings. Teacher Zhou will hand it in for me and let the Chinese Academy of Sciences or other professional research institutes take the lead in doing it." The technical content of the photolithography machine is too high and involves too many fields. Qiao Ruida is unable to develop it even if she wants to develop it. But those piles of drawings are simply too wasteful to grow moldy in my mind. I might as well hand them in and give the country a headache.

Zhou Wanda gave Qiao Ruida a thumbs up and praised: "Qiao really understands the righteousness. One day in the future, domestic EUV lithography machines will be produced, and Qiao's contribution will definitely be indispensable."

Because the lithography machines and other precision equipment were afraid of vibrations, the speed of the convoy could not be increased. The same journey took more than an hour longer than usual, and it did not arrive at Decheng City until two o'clock in the afternoon. After getting off the highway intersection, Qiao Ruida drove and led the entire convoy slowly through the entire city to the southern suburbs where Rockchip Wafer Factory is located.

"Look, a convoy is coming from a distance, heading straight for our factory."

"This should be the convoy led by Mr. Qiao. Oh, this convoy is really long. Let me count, there are more than fifty large trucks."

"With so many trucks, are you led by Mr. Qiao himself? What kind of things are they pulling?"

"I heard it is a batch of the world's top chip production equipment. Mr. Qiao didn't tell us the specific details. He said it was a surprise for us."

"The equipment we brought from the dock earlier is very advanced. There are immersion DUV lithography machines and 28nm etching machines. They are completely top-notch in the world. Chip production equipment that is more advanced than this will be some What is it, an EUV lithography machine?”

"Don't be kidding, how could it be EUV? Only ASML has that thing, and it's just a test prototype. It's hard to say whether it can be used to process chips. Even if the relevant equipment is mature, it is impossible to sell it to the country."

After noon, Lin Mengsong led a group of factory executives and technicians to the entrance of Rockchip Wafer Factory to wait. Now more than an hour has passed, and Qiao Ruida and the convoy led by her finally arrived.

"Quick, quick, open the gate and put the fleet in." Lin Mengsong directed the staff to open the factory door, then personally drove a battery patrol car, led the fleet into the factory, and drove to the dust-free workshop No. 66 before. There are already two large-tonnage cranes here, with their supports lowered and waiting for work. The roof of the dust-free workshop No. 66 has also been partially opened to facilitate the hoisting of equipment.

Jorida parked the Mercedes-Benz near the edge and gave up the space to the truck behind it. The car door opened, and Qiao Ruida, Du Qingqing, and Zhou Wanda got out of the car one after another. Lin Mengsong came over with several factory executives, "Mr. Qiao, Manager Du, and Professor Zhou, welcome to Rockchip Fab."

People from both parties had met and even worked together during the installation and debugging of the two chip production lines at Reda Electronics Factory. They were considered old acquaintances. Qiao Ruida held Lin Mengsong's hand and said, "In the past month, I have had to maintain chip production at Ruida Electronics Factory and also take care of equipment installation and debugging at Rockchip Wafer Factory. Thank you to Mr. Lin for your hard work!"

"Mr. Qiao, you are too polite. This is my job, and I deserve to work harder. Besides, we are the first 28nm advanced process wafer fab in China. Watching it grow from scratch, one by one, Once the points are established, the sense of accomplishment and pride is so fascinating." Lin Mengsong said proudly.

Qiao Ruida patted Lin Mengsong's hand and said meaningfully: "You will be even more proud when these equipments are removed from the car and installed in place."

At this time, Zhou Wanda intervened and asked, "Gong Lin, why didn't you see the teacher and my brothers?"

"Are you talking about Academician Wang? He is leading his team to debug equipment in the workshop. A few days ago, we just completed the installation of a chip production line and are currently conducting trial production to adjust parameters and improve the chip pass rate. . Now the production line is still running and cannot be separated from people, so Academician Wang took his team and stayed there." Lin Mengsong replied.

"Oh, can't you find someone to replace the teacher? The set of equipment that will be unboxed next is the only one in the country. The teacher will definitely regret missing this important moment." After that, Zhou Wanda took out his mobile phone and asked Call Academician Wang.

Hearing what Zhou Wanda said, Lin Mengsong also became interested and asked: "What kind of equipment is it worth so much effort? Mr. Qiao, is this the surprise you mentioned on the phone? Look, this is an air conditioner, and It’s made of shock-absorbing foam. What exactly is in this container?”

"Haha, spoilers are pointless. Let's wait until the hoisting is in place before revealing the answer." Qiao Ruida smiled and pretended not to say what the equipment on the car was.

Just as a few people were talking, the truck following them, pulling an EUV lithography machine, had already driven to the center of the open space. After the truck was parked, several staff members immediately climbed onto the truck, opened the connection device between the container and the truck, and then hung the lifting steel cable on the hooks prepared in advance.

"Okay, get up, get up, slow down, be steady, turn right, yes, pay attention to the position of the workshop opening, and put it down smoothly..." Under the command of professionals, the container was smoothly transferred to the dust-free workshop. The same steps were then applied to several subsequent trucks. Of course, not all equipment has this treatment. The first few equipment are too precise and have strict requirements on temperature and humidity, so they need to be hoisted as a whole. Most of the subsequent equipment, which is not that expensive, is to open the container, unload the equipment, and then use a crane to lift it into the workshop.

The two cranes were busy for two hours before lifting all the equipment into the dust-free workshop. Then the ceiling of the dust-free workshop is closed, and the dust removal, constant temperature, and constant humidity equipment are turned on. Only when the internal environment of the workshop meets the requirements can the next step of installation be carried out. (End of chapter)
