Chapter 423 Bypassing Technical Patent Barriers

Chapter 423 Bypassing Technical Patent Barriers

Hu Yang was the same, he couldn't be happy for a few days, even though he had just ruled out a huge hidden danger.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to break through the technical barriers of DRAM?

Therefore, he took the time to come to Charm Semiconductor, accompanied by Yang Chenglin to inspect the company's headquarters and R&D center.

"Dr. Yang, let me ask you, is it possible for us to take down DRAM technology with our own efforts?"

At this time, there were only Hu Yang and Yang Chenglin in the office, so Hu Yang asked directly.

"Success is still possible, but it requires continuous investment and sufficient time."

The company has made great progress in the field of flash memory, and its product line has covered most of the low-end and mid-end categories.Therefore, Yang Chenglin still has certain confidence in self-developed DRAM technology.

Hu Yang nodded and did not continue to ask.

Yang Chenglin's continuous investment, according to Hu Yang's understanding, probably needs to be invested in the order of 10 billion US dollars.The so-called sufficient time will take about 5-10 years.

"Dr. Yang, I hope everyone will continue to work hard. As for the research and development funds, you don't have to worry. Mr. Yan said that he will guarantee the allocation of funds."

After Hu Yang finished speaking, he stood up and patted Yang Chenglin on the shoulder, then left Charm Semiconductor.

He decided to wait patiently for the opportunity to start the DRAM project, but no matter how long it takes, he will definitely get involved in this field.

"Mr. Hu, two gentlemen from the 27th Institute of the Electric Power Research Institute are looking for you. When will you be back? They said they won't leave until they see you."

Hu Yang walked halfway by car and received a call from Lin Yan from the company.

There are many times now that Hu Yang takes Miqi out, leaving Lin Yan to stay at the company.After all, Mi Qi is not qualified enough, and many things can only be handled by Lin Yan.

"I'll go back right away, please wait a moment."

Hu Yang is no stranger to the Electric Power Research Institute, but this is the first time he has heard of the 27th Institute.With a trace of curiosity, Hu Yang went directly to the small conference room on the 87th floor after returning to the investment building.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Dai, this is Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu, these two are Mr. Ma Yu and Mr. Dai Xiangjun from Institute 27."

Besides Lin Yan, there were two men in their thirties in the meeting room.One of the two men is wearing glasses, and one can tell at a glance that he is a "science and engineering man".The other, well-dressed, looks like a white-collar worker.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Dai, hello. Please sit down."

Hu Yang stepped forward and shook hands with the two respectively, and then the host and guest sat down.

Lin Yan asked for a new cup of tea for Ma Yu and Dai Xiangjun, and then sat down.

"Mr. Hu, we have some confidential things we want to talk to you about, do you see?"

After sitting down, "Science and Technology Man" Ma Yu remained silent, and Dai Xiangjun was the first to speak.

"Assistant Lin has always been my deputy and assistant. She has the right to participate in all the company's core secrets."

Hu Yang smiled and reintroduced Lin Yan's identity to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Dai Xiangjun nodded and smiled apologetically at Lin Yan.

Then he looked at Hu Yang and said, "Mr. Hu, our institute encountered difficulties when we were researching an aerospace-grade memory chip. Now we want to ask Charming Semiconductor for technical support. Is it possible?"

Aerospace-grade memory chips?Hu Yang has some guesses about the identities of these two people.

"Mr. Dai, I don't know what kind of product you are referring to the memory chip? Technical support is no problem, as long as we have existing technology, we can provide it. However, I hope you can sign a technical non-disclosure agreement with us and promise No commercial application."

Although he roughly guessed the identities of the two, Hu Yang still expressed his request.

Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yulai had already imagined many difficulties before, such as the other party's delay and prevarication, or even outright rejection.

If people really refuse, they have nothing to do.Unexpectedly, as soon as Dai Xiangjun opened his mouth, Hu Yang agreed directly.

"It should be, Mr. Hu, even if you don't say it, we will do the same."

Dai Xiangjun is now very fortunate that the leader asked them to go to Qi Xiangmin before coming to the deep sea.After Qi Xiangmin knew about this, he told them not to go directly to Charm Semiconductor, but to come to Hu Yang.

At that time, Qi Xiangmin said that it is not good for the city to come forward in this kind of matter, why don't you go to Hu Yang, and the city will not interfere if you agree or not.

Now it seems that Qi Xiangmin still has confidence in Populus euphratica.

"Mr. Hu, I heard that Glamor Semiconductor is discussing cooperation with Hualian Electronics? We have been doing research on DRAM. Although the technology is far from advanced, our unique design architecture is still good. I don't know Hu Are you always interested? If you are interested, we can provide you with this architecture called XKG."

Ma Yu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke at this moment, meaning he wanted to exchange technology with Charm Semiconductor.

The scientific research achievements in the institute are very rich, but to find a technology that meets the needs of the other party without leaking secrets, there is only this kind of DRAM design architecture.

When Hu Yang heard this, he was overjoyed.It doesn't matter if the technology is backward. Now that Charm Semiconductor is conducting DRAM research, what it lacks most is the technical route.The architecture mentioned by Ma Yu is completely the result of 27's self-developed research, and of course it avoids the technical patent barriers of other giants.

Afterwards, Hu Yang called Yan Hanzhang to come up, and signed a cooperation agreement with Dai Xiangjun, who represented the 27th Institute.

The agreement stipulates that Glamor Semiconductor will provide technical support to 27 Institutes in terms of storage chips (including flash memory, DRAM, etc.), and 27 Institutes will provide the self-developed DRAM architecture to Glamor Semiconductors free of charge.

After obtaining technical support, Institute 27 must abide by the confidentiality agreement, and shall not disclose the technology of Glamor Semiconductor to third parties, and shall not conduct commercial applications.

Glamor Semiconductor obtained the XKG architecture of 27 Institutes for free, and all technology upgrades based on this foundation belong to Glamor Semiconductor.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your strong support. We can strengthen cooperation in the future. However, the cooperation between us should be limited to a small range of insiders."

Before going out, Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yu expressed their thanks to Hu Yang repeatedly, and at the same time gave a warning.

"Mr. Dai, Mr. Ma, you are too polite. I will pay attention to the confidentiality of this matter, please rest assured. Mr. Yan, you can handle the rest, and entertain the two guests for me."

Hu Yang shook hands with Dai Xiangjun and Ma Yu one by one, and then went down to his office on the 86th floor with Lin Yan.

Yan Hanzhang quickly dealt with the cooperation with the 27th Institute, and only he, Huang Tao, and Yang Chenglin knew about the matter, and even Sa Hongli didn't know the details.

After getting the technical information of the XKG architecture, Hu Yang called Yan Hanzhang, Huang Tao, and Yang Chenglin for a meeting.

"Dr. Yang, you will evaluate this architecture later. If it has application value, the company's future research and development of DRAM technology will focus on this technology path."

Hu Yang doesn't understand technology, and Yan Hanzhang doesn't understand specific chip design, so it's best to leave this kind of thing to Yang Chenglin.

After Yang Chenglin brought the information back to the company, he organized technical personnel to conduct a technical assessment.Three days later, he came to Hu Yang's office with the assessment report.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan."

Pushing the door open, he saw Hu Yang and Yan Hanzhang drinking tea in the tea room. Yang Chenglin greeted them with a smile.

"Dr. Yang, please sit down."

Hu Yang signaled Yang Chenglin to sit down and talk, and then he took the evaluation report from the other party and read it.After reading it, he handed the report to Yan Hanzhang and asked him to read it too.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Yan, after our evaluation, the XKG architecture is very conducive to technological upgrading and transformation, which is of great help to our research on DRAM chip technology."

Yang Chenglin did not expect that a non-mainstream architecture that had never been seen before became the key to their research on DRAM technology.

"Good, good, good!"

Yan Hanzhang said three "yes" in a row, which shows that he is very excited.

Hu Yang said with a smile: "Dr. Yang, then you can make good use of it. In the future, the DRAM technology developed based on this architecture, the intellectual property rights belong to the company, and you can apply for patents."

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I understand. However, according to the inference of me and the relevant technical staff, the company's research and development of DRAM technology will take about one to one and a half years to take shape."

Yang Chenglin gave a timetable, which has greatly exceeded the previous estimate.Before getting this kind of architecture, he estimated that it would take about 5-10 years for the company to develop its own DRAM technology.

"Very good! Mr. Yan, next you will give strong support to the research work of Charming Semiconductor. If you ask for money and people, you must get this technology!"

Hu Yang swept away his depressed mood some time ago, and this accidental incident allowed the company to find a new technology path for self-developed DRAM.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I will go to Charming Semiconductor with Dr. Yang now."

Yan Hanzhang was sitting here just now, and he had already thought about it. He needs to call relevant personnel to hold a mobilization meeting, and propose a reward plan at the meeting.

After Yang Chenglin and Yan Hanzhang left, Hu Yang asked Lin Yan to call Gao Mingkang, Chen Hao, and Chen Jialin that Charm Semiconductor would hold a board meeting next week.

Hu Yang had considered investing in the construction of a DRAM factory before. Now that he has seen the prospect of a breakthrough in technology, the construction of the factory must be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, DRAM has completed the design and finalization, what should be done for production?Can't we still find outsiders to do the work?
However, investing in a large-scale DRAM production plant requires a huge amount of capital.Prices at this point in time are much lower than ten years later, but even if the amount of investment does not reach the amount of 300 billion yuan, it needs at least about 100 billion yuan.

With 100 billion yuan of funds, Charm Semiconductor will definitely not be able to get it at this time, so Hu Yang needs to hold a board meeting and work out a solution with several directors.

Or to say that the semiconductor industry burns the most money, no amount of money can fill the huge demand.R&D burns money, building a factory burns money, and technology climbs up after it goes into production, which also burns money.
