When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 229 The Pearl of Modern Industrial Manufacturing
Tangdu Jiaotong University.

When Yin Zhiyao and Hao Tao came to Xu Songyao's office, they both immediately asked about Wang Donglai's situation.

The two had an in-depth exchange of views on the way over.

Even Hao Tao was not confident that he could come up with a plasma etching technology solution in just one day.

Especially the conditions for Zhongwei are to avoid patents from Western European and American countries.

This would make it even more difficult. It would be equivalent to avoiding the Sunshine Avenue, which is inaccessible, and instead taking the narrow path, which is rugged and difficult to navigate.

Although they didn't really believe it in their hearts, neither of them felt that Xu Songyao would deceive them.

As soon as they saw Xu Songyao, the two of them couldn't wait to ask about the plan.

However, Xu Songyao was very calm and was not affected by the two of them at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Hao Tao: "Old Hao, why are you here too?"

"I just came here to take a look. I heard that Wang Donglai made a plasma etching plan. I am a little curious. Lao Xu, you don't mind, right?"

In fact, there are not many talents with solid theoretical knowledge and practical application results, and there are even fewer people like Wang Donglai.

In addition, artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis systems are also manifestations of practical applications.

"If you just come for a visit, that's no problem. I welcome you with both hands."

In recent years, Zhongwei Company has made rapid progress, partly because Yin Zhiyao insists on combining theory and practice.

But the price is too high.

There are experts and professors who do not have many scientific research papers, but they have very strong practical results.

"He will be here soon, let's wait for a while."

All we can do is try our best to cultivate talents who can connect theory and practice.

"Mr. Yin, Academician Hao!"

Otherwise, Xu Songyao, a dignified academician and principal, would not have to do this at all.

"Old Xu, where is Wang Donglai?"

Hao Tao glanced at the office and asked aloud.

Although Yin Zhiyao has been abroad for many years, he still knows the domestic scientific research environment very well.

As a result, there are few results and few high-quality scientific research papers.

While Yin Zhiyao was thinking about this, Wang Donglai also came to Xu Songyao's office.

In just a few words, Yin Zhiyao could tell that Xu Songyao definitely admired Wang Donglai very much.

When Wang Donglai walked in, the three of them stood up.

It is obvious that Wang Donglai is a talent with extremely solid theoretical knowledge, and his ability to prove difficult mathematical problems in the world is enough.

Although theory and practice are often linked together, in today's society, the situation has long changed.

Knowing these situations does not mean that Yin Zhiyao can change.

Mathematics is the foundation. People who learn mathematics well can actually make great achievements in many aspects.

After hearing Xu Songyao's words, Hao Tao's expression did not change at all, as if he did not hear the hidden meaning in Xu Songyao's words.

This plan can definitely be made if we can find academicians in relevant majors in China and give it some time and support.

This is what he does in his Zhongwei company.

Hao Tao naturally knew Xu Songyao and said with a smile.

Xu Songyao said with a smile.

"I've heard about Professor Wang for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was really extraordinary. He really is a hero from a young age!"

Xu Songyao immediately introduced the two people to Wang Donglai.

Therefore, Yin Zhiyao has secretly decided that no matter what Wang Donglai's design plan is later, he will try to recruit Wang Donglai or build a good relationship with him.

Xu Songyao didn't take it seriously and explained to Hao Tao that waiting for a professor would not damage his face at all because of his status as academician and principal.

Although Yin Zhiyao on the side was curious, he did not urge him. Instead, he paid attention to Xu Songyao's attitude towards Wang Donglai.

"Donglai, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Yin from Zhongwei, and this is Academician Hao from Tangdu University of Electronic Science and Technology."

"Thank you, Mr. Yin." Wang Donglai replied with a faint smile.

Therefore, Yin Zhiyao did not think about finding people at the academician level, but chose to spread the word in universities and find professors and students who could do it.

Those who are engaged in theory and those who are engaged in practical application are not at all related to each other, and each is doing his own thing.

Wang Donglai nodded and shouted at the two of them.

If there is a real comparison, I am afraid that only those scientists who are important to the country can surpass Wang Donglai.

Some experts teach full of theoretical knowledge and publish scientific research papers one after another, but they cannot be applied in practice.

Even a brand new plasma etching solution is nothing to an academician.

Yin Zhiyao was very enthusiastic and immediately came up and praised Wang Donglai.

He is just a businessman and a scholar.

"Good boy, if I had known you could achieve such great results later, I should have taken you away directly."

Hao Tao said with a smile and a hint of regret on his face.

"That won't do!"

Before Wang Dong could speak, Xu Songyao stood up and said to Hao Tao.

Inside the office, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Because everyone present knew that this was Hao Tao expressing his respect for Wang Donglai, and that sentence was more joking than serious.

As for Xu Songyao, this is even more true. He directly showed his support for Wang Donglai and was also building momentum for Wang Donglai.

After all, there is an outsider Yin Zhiyao here.

Yin Zhiyao knew this very well, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't hear it.

After sitting down, Yin Zhiyao couldn't wait to look at Wang Donglai and said loudly: "Professor Wang, I heard that you have designed a brand new lithium ion etching scheme. Can you let me take a look?" "Here is Xu from your school. With the principal and principal Hao here, Professor Wang doesn’t have to worry about the plan being leaked. What’s more, our Zhongwei company is also a semiconductor company with roots in China, so we still have credibility in this aspect.”

"If this plan is indeed feasible, I can make a decision and buy it right away."

"Professor Wang, what do you think?"

Neither Xu Songyao nor Hao Tao spoke, leaving the decision-making power to Wang Donglai.

Hearing Yin Zhiyao's words, Wang Donglai smiled softly and said: "Mr. Yin, this is not urgent. I heard that Mr. Yin worked in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years, working at Intel, Fanlin, Applied Materials, etc. I have worked in a large international company, and I wonder if you can introduce the situation of semiconductors, such as the gap between domestic companies and foreign companies, how big the gap is in the production process, and how many deficiencies are there in our country?"

In the semiconductor industry, there are really too many upstream and downstream industries, and there is more confidential information. If you are not a senior executive in the relevant industry, you will not know it at all.

Therefore, Wang Donglai thought about this issue when he knew that Yin Zhiyao appeared.

Yin Zhiyao was a little surprised. After taking a closer look at Wang Donglai, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "It seems that Professor Wang is quite interested in semiconductors."

"If you are interested in visiting our Zhongwei company, I can say that in China, our company is the first-class in this industry."

Yin Zhiyao originally wanted to recruit Wang Donglai, but now he heard that Wang Donglai was interested in semiconductors and immediately sent out an invitation.

However, he did not notice that Xu Songyao and Hao Tao looked at him as if they were a fool.

"Mr. Yin, I am indeed very interested in semiconductors. In today's era, chips have been everywhere around our lives. It can be said that chips are the technological crystallization of today's generation. They are the ceiling in the field of human manufacturing, and their status will also change with the times. It will become more and more important as time goes by.”

"And we have the largest population in the world. If we want to lead a well-off life for all people as soon as possible, we must have a say in the semiconductor industry and improve our competitiveness."

Although Wang Donglai's words were calm, they sounded like the sound of gold and iron to the ears of the three of them, sonorous and powerful.

Yin Zhiyao clapped his hands suddenly and said with excitement: "Okay, what Professor Wang said is good and insightful! Just based on Professor Wang's words, it's a big revelation."

"When I returned to China, I had the same mentality as Professor Wang. I had seen the high technology and high level abroad. Naturally, I didn't want to see the country lagging so far behind. So in a situation where no one has money or policies, Next, I started Zhongwei Company.”

"Fortunately, in the past few years, we have developed Zhongwei Company to a first-class level in the country with our passion."

"It would be great if there were more high-level talents in China who think the same way as Professor Wang. I believe we can catch up with the level of the West, or even surpass them!"

The more he talked, the more excited Yin Zhiyao became, his eyes bright, looking at Wang Donglai eagerly.

If you were a young person, your blood might really boil and your head would get excited by Yin Zhiyao's words.

But Wang Donglai is not!

It's hard to say how much truth or falsehood Yin Zhiyao's words are. There is some truth, but not necessarily much.

His identity is more of a boss than a scholar and researcher.

Therefore, these words are actually occupying the moral high ground, and want to use such means to invisibly improve one's moral status.

The benefits are also obvious. When it comes to talking about price, publicity, or interacting with people, you can get preferential treatment.

He knew what Yin Zhiyao was doing, but Wang Donglai didn't show it.

"Mr. Yin, how many years are we still behind our current level compared to developed countries?"

At this time, Xu Songyao asked aloud.

Yin Zhiyao pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Semiconductors have many branches and the situation is more complicated. In some fields, our country only has a decade or so of technological accumulation, while in others there is a gap of twenty or thirty years, but there are also In this field, our country has reached the forefront of the world.”

"In fact, the semiconductor industry is quite important, and the country has begun to pay attention to it."

"It is the core of many industrial equipment and is widely used in core fields such as computers, consumer electronics, network communications, and automotive electronics. It is mainly composed of four components. Integrated circuits account for about 81%, and optoelectronic devices account for 10%, discrete devices account for about 6%, and sensors account for about 3%, so semiconductors and integrated circuits are usually equated.”

"Integrated circuits are mainly divided into four categories according to product types, microprocessors, memories, logic devices, and analog devices. Their proportions are 18%, 23%, 27%, and 13%."

"These are just the simplest basic situations, and the work I have done before has worked in several companies such as Fanlin, Applied Materials, and Tojin Electronics. The research direction is semiconductor etching equipment, which is only one part of the semiconductor industry. That’s all.”

"I guess none of you have had detailed contact with this industry, so I will tell you more."

"A chip as big as a fingernail requires a lot of manufacturing processes. It is precisely because of this that it is called the pinnacle of industrial manufacturing."

"The most upstream of semiconductors are IC design companies and silicon wafer manufacturing companies. IC design companies design circuit diagrams according to customer needs, while silicon wafer manufacturing companies use polysilicon as raw materials to manufacture silicon wafers. The main tasks of midstream IC manufacturing companies are The task is to transplant the circuit diagram designed by the IC design company onto the wafer produced by the silicon wafer manufacturing company. The completed wafer is then taken to the downstream IC packaging and testing factory for packaging and testing. A chip is now manufactured. "

"It seems simple, but every process is extremely rigorous and complex."

"The research and development of etching equipment that I am good at is one of the steps in the IC manufacturing process, which is film, photoresist, development, etching, and photoresist removal. If you do this step ten times, it is complete."

"But even for the equipment required for this small step, our country cannot catch up with the world's first-class level."

"Of course, although the etching step is small, the importance of the equipment is still very high."

When Yin Zhiyao introduced and explained, Hao Tao also became interested and started talking.

"Mr. Yin is still a little humble. Etching equipment is not simple. As far as I know, among the most difficult equipment in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, etching equipment is included. Although it is not as good as the photolithography machine, it is not bad."

"Moreover, the companies that Mr. Yin works for are the best in the field of etching equipment, and they are also the only three major international manufacturers that can produce high-grade etching equipment."

"Mr. Yin has worked in all three companies, and his positions are not low. They are all core figures. I have absolute reasons to believe that Mr. Yin is the reason why these three companies have developed so fast in etching equipment. The results are in it.”

"So, I am not surprised at all that Mr. Yin was able to develop Zhongwei to its current level within a few years after returning to China. Moreover, I am even more optimistic about Zhongwei's future development prospects. As long as Mr. Yin is still there, Zhongwei will be able to Wei’s results will definitely not be bad in the future!”

In a few words, Hao Tao almost told the whole story about Yin Zhiyao.

"Academician Hao has received the award. I can only say that I will try my best to do more for the country."

"The etching process is still very important for chip manufacturing. If the equipment cannot be made domestically, it will always be stuck."

"Although it is impossible to localize all processes, I must do it to localize etching equipment! This is the only thing I can do for the country."

Yin Zhiyao spoke calmly, showing a trace of determination.

After saying these words, Yin Zhiyao turned his attention to Wang Donglai and said: "Fortunately, with the emergence of a genius like Professor Wang, our country will have successors. The more important the semiconductor industry is, the more talents we need to go there." We must study hard to localize these technologies and equipment and avoid Western patent barriers, lest they choke our necks and hinder our development. "

"Speaking of which, no one is an outsider. The profit margin of the semiconductor industry exceeds many people's imagination, and our country spends hundreds of billions of funds on purchases every year. A large part of it is because we cannot localize it, so we can only be passively exploited. "

"If we localize a piece of equipment, our country will be stronger and wealth will be less lost."

"So, the plan in Professor Wang's hands is really important!"

In the end, Yin Zhiyao turned the topic to the plan designed by Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai didn't do any ink, so he took out a document from his bag and said, "Mr. Yin, this document is the plan I designed. You might as well take a look."

With a calm tone and full of confidence, he handed over the document.
