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

In the semiconductor industry chain, according to importance, it is divided into supporting industry chain, core industry chain and terminal industry chain.

The core industrial chain is chip design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.

For the chip manufacturing process, raw materials, consumables, equipment, and auxiliary manufacturing systems are the support for the industrial chain.

There is a saying in semiconductors: "One generation of equipment, one generation of process, one generation of devices." The level of equipment, consumables and technical personnel together determine the highest level of chip manufacturing for a company or even a country or region. This shows how important equipment is.

The etcher is one of the three core equipment in the chip manufacturing process, so the level of the etcher determines the highest level of chip manufacturing to a certain extent.

The reactive ion etching method designed by Wang Donglai before helped Zhongwei out of its difficulties after it was delivered to Zhongwei.

It is precisely because of this that Yin Zhiyao behaves so approachable in front of Wang Donglai.

At this moment, after listening to Wang Donglai's words, Yin Zhiyao fell into thought.

He completely understood what Wang Donglai meant.

"Professor Wang, I understand what you mean."

"Then I would like to ask, what does Professor Wang plan to do?"

Yin Zhiyao looked at Wang Donglai with a puzzled look and asked.

"It seems that Mr. Yin has misunderstood. Mr. Yin probably thinks that I said this in order to acquire your company?" Wang Donglai only took a glance at Yin Zhiyao and guessed what he was thinking without even using [Insight].

"If not, what is Professor Wang going to do?"

"I'm not bragging. Zhongwei is one of the best in both the domestic etching machine and MOCVD fields."

"Professor Wang is also very clear about the importance of etching machines. If we really want to improve the level of the domestic semiconductor industry, etching machines are a problem that cannot be avoided."

"Based on the current market situation, I don't think there will be any company that can catch up in this field in a short period of time."

Yin Zhiyao said this with great confidence.

He has this confidence.

Zhongwei was founded in 2004, and it has only been eleven years since then, but it has grown rapidly.

At present, although the annual main business income is not high, Yin Zhiyao is confident that he can increase it.

In response to Yin Zhiyao's words, Wang Donglai nodded in approval.

"Mr. Yin is right. Zhongwei does have the best technology in the field of domestic etching machines. If we want to localize it, we will definitely have to rely on your company."

"According to Moore's Law, the number of transistors in the same area doubles every 18 months. The continuous improvement of chip manufacturing level will make the size of transistors continue to shrink, so chip manufacturing companies will try their best to put more transistors in a small space and increase the number of transistors on the chip, so as to defeat competitors with more powerful products."

"As transistor size continues to shrink, width becomes the core issue. To achieve a smaller line width, photolithography machines and etching machines play a decisive role in the process."

“The photolithography machine is more complicated, so I don’t need to think about it for now, but because of your company, the gap with the etching machine is not too far.”

"So, my idea is to form a domestic semiconductor alliance, or an association."

“Based on the expertise of each company, we will work together to solve the various challenges in the semiconductor industry.”

"Of course, if it's just a verbal alliance or association, it doesn't mean much, and there may not be trust between the two sides."

Hearing this, Yin Zhiyao nodded and interrupted, "Boss Wang is right. In business, no matter how great a dream is, it needs to be grounded in reality. If an alliance or association can accomplish such a great thing, things in this world will be simple."

"So, how does Mr. Wang plan to deal with this problem?"

Wang Donglai laughed softly and said, "It's very simple, it's a matter of interests!"

"I know that your company has invested a lot of money in research and development over the years, and the income is not enough to cover the expenses. So you have no choice but to choose MOCVD as a breakthrough point and as a second profit line to keep the company alive."

"If Mr. Yin is interested, Galaxy Technology can inject capital and guarantee that there will be no changes or restrictions on Zhongwei's personnel and R&D."

"The specific amount and shares can be discussed. What do you think, Mr. Yin?"

Yin Zhiyao was not surprised by Wang Donglai's suggestion.

Since he founded Zhongwei, it has been favored by investment banks, and has received financing several times since its development.

Therefore, he is not opposed to financing.

As for Wang Donglai's investment in Galaxy Technology, Yin Zhiyao also thought quickly in his mind.

Galaxy Technology has money and technology.

With Wang Donglai as his boss, he doesn't need to worry about too many things.

If he was just a scientific researcher, he would not hesitate at all and would agree immediately after Wang Dong finished speaking.

However, in addition to being a scientific researcher, he is also a boss.

What's going on here is not buying and selling.

Being too proactive will only make you lose the bargaining power.

However, just as Yin Zhiyao was thinking about it, Wang Donglai spoke again.

"Boss Yin, 2 billion, 51% of the shares!"

When Yin Zhiyao was about to refute, Wang Donglai immediately said: "In addition to this, we will also provide certain assistance in the company's technological research and development. Mr. Yin can consider it carefully."

Yin Zhiyao was silent for a while.

Two billion in exchange for 51% of Zhongwei’s shares is a bit low.

But after hearing what Wang Donglai said next, Yin Zhiyao became conflicted.

Reactive ion etching has proved that Wang Donglai can also achieve results in the field of etcher.

The advanced packaging in front of us further proves this point.

Yin Zhiyao could also imagine that with Wang Donglai's scientific research assistance, the field of etching machines would inevitably achieve greater breakthroughs.

By then, although you will lose control, you will gain greater benefits.

"call!"

Yin Zhiyao let out a long breath, his expression became serious, and he said, "Boss Wang, you should know that Zhongwei was able to develop with the full support of the higher-ups. If you want to complete the share transfer, you still need to report to the higher-ups!"

"In my heart, I actually tend to cooperate, but I have no choice but to do what the higher-ups think."

"This matter is of great importance. I'm afraid it will require communication and discussion within the company and with higher-ups before there can be any results."

Hearing that Yin Zhiyao's tone seemed to indicate agreement, Wang Donglai nodded.

"There is no rush for this matter. This set of advanced packaging design solutions still needs time to be taped out for testing. Mr. Yin can wait for the results to come out before making a decision."

Yin Zhiyao asked curiously, "Did Mr. Wang contact SMIC for testing?"

Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "No, I contacted Mr. Zhang from Xinsheng Semiconductor."

"In that case, I will wait for good news from President Wang. After I return, I will report to the higher-ups about what happened today."

Yin Zhiyao nodded and said so.

……

the next day.

Before Wang Donglai and Chen Lingyue went to Xinsheng Semiconductor, Zhang Rujing had already arrived at the hotel.

He looked excited and full of anticipation.

The packaging design of the semi-finished product is like a sumptuous banquet that tempts gourmets.

Zhang Rujing didn't sleep well for almost the entire night.

I am always thinking about the packaging design.

Zhang Rujing was so excited that he couldn't sleep when he thought about seeing the complete packaging design plan the next day.

Even the original intention to reject Wang Donglai's proposal for cooperation was somewhat weakened.

"Mr. Zhang, you can just wait at the company, why did you come to the hotel?"

When Wang Donglai saw Zhang Rujing, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Anyone who knows about this packaging design will feel the same way as I do. Who made you come up with such an excellent design?"

Before seeing Wang Donglai, Zhang Rujing was a little anxious, but after meeting him, Zhang Rujing was not so anxious anymore.

Wang Donglai smiled and without further ado, he took out his completed packaging design plan and handed it to Zhang Rujing.

Zhang Rujing looked around, then sat down on the sofa in the hotel and started watching.

"Wonderful!"

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"hiss……"

As he watched, Zhang Rujing kept exclaiming in surprise.

Half an hour passed before Zhang Rujing stood up with an excited face and shining eyes.

"Professor Wang, you are amazing!"

“This is a genius invention!”

"With this packaging design, the performance of our domestically produced chips may be able to reach a higher level."

"But, Professor Wang, have you figured out what to do with this technology?"

“Should we license the patent, sell it, or keep it?”

As he spoke, Zhang Rujing's expression became serious and he asked.

"Mr. Zhang, you are a senior, why don't you give me some advice!"

When Wang Donglai heard Zhang Rujing ask this, he followed up the conversation and asked Zhang Rujing what he thought.

Zhang Rujing did not refuse. After a moment's silence, he said, "In my opinion, domestic semiconductors are far behind the world's top level in every aspect. This package design is very good, but it would be a waste if it is only for personal use."

"It would be better to maximize the benefits and license the design solution, and get a large amount of patent fees from Qualcomm and other big companies, or exchange for some patent licenses, so as to speed up domestic semiconductor research and development."

"This is just my old man's idea. Just listen to it. If you think it makes sense, then listen to it. If you have other ideas and considerations, then do it according to your own ideas."

"The times are developing too fast now. An old man like me is already out of date. The future belongs to you young people."

When Zhang Rujing finished speaking, his tone was slightly lonely and desolate.

No matter what his past achievements were, when he saw the packaging design plan that Wang Donglai came up with, he realized that he was old.

"Mr. Zhang, you are not out of date. We have been able to develop because of predecessors like you who have paved the way ahead. You should not underestimate the achievements you have made."

Wang Donglai naturally understood what Zhang Rujing was thinking, so he smiled and tried to comfort her.

"It seems that I am really old. I am actually sad about the passing of time."

Shaking his head and laughing at himself, Zhang Rujing's expression became serious again. He looked at Wang Dong and said, "Are you sure you want me to take this package design to test the tape-out? Aren't you worried?"

"If I can't even trust Mr. Zhang, then I'm afraid there's no one I can trust in this industry."

"Besides, it's just a packaging design plan, it's nothing!"

Wang Donglai appeared extremely confident and said calmly.

"Okay, then you just wait for my good news!" Zhang Rujing was also impatient to test the effectiveness of this packaging design solution.

After chatting for a while, Wang Donglai rejected Zhang Rujing's invitation and prepared to fly back to Tangdu.

……

on the plane.

Wang Donglai seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he had opened the system panel.

【In progress……】

The reason why the panel was opened was because of the prompt sound from the system.

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for upgrading his Physics subject to level 6."

"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill [Gold Finger]."

After acquiring the ability of [Memory Palace], Wang Donglai has almost become a walking library.

With skills and abilities such as [Speed ​​Reading], [Photographic Memory], [Brain Overclocking] and [Memory Palace], Wang Donglai's speed in gaining experience points through reading did not slow down due to the huge amount of experience points required for improvement. In fact, it was even a little faster than before.

Therefore, on the system panel, many subjects have reached LV5 and are about to break through LV6.

When he breaks through LV6, Wang Donglai will gain several more magical skills and abilities.

With a thought, Wang Donglai checked the information of [Golden Finger].

[Gold Finger: The world is in motion. This skill allows players to study the material structure of the world and understand the interaction between materials and the laws of motion.]

[Note: This skill is very powerful, and the player level is still low, so it can only be used once a month, and the points consumed when using it depend on the situation.]

Seeing the system's introduction to this new skill, Wang Donglai suddenly became excited.

He never imagined that when the [Physics] subject reached level 6, such a powerful skill would appear.

To outsiders, the system's description of this skill may be confusing.

However, anyone with a little knowledge of physics will know how powerful this skill is.

Study the structure of matter and understand the interactions and motion laws of matter.

This is almost equivalent to turning on a super physical plug-in.

Many physicists in history needed instruments and superhuman talents to achieve results.

But with this skill, Wang Donglai no longer needs these things.

For example, the apple doesn't have to fall on his head. As long as he sees it and then directly activates the skill, he can directly derive the law of universal gravitation.

Wang Donglai was extremely excited at the moment. He took several deep breaths to suppress the excitement in his heart.

“Why not give it a try!”

Suddenly, Wang Donglai had this idea. (End of this chapter)
