Chapter 463 The birth of the first high-end lithography machine

Chapter 463 The birth of the first high-end lithography machine
Driven by Mingkang Communications, other domestic communication giants also allocated part of their orders to Xintong International.

This is actually a common practice for companies to avoid risks, and at the same time, it can avoid the loss of pricing power caused by Taipower's dominance.

The sufficient number of orders has fully released the production capacity of NTS International.As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, if you produce more, you will naturally accumulate a lot of experience or lessons.

This is also one of the important reasons why Xintong International has made great progress in all aspects during this period of time.

"Mr. Meng, the company has made great progress in all aspects of work. I would like to thank all the employees for their dedication. Therefore, I have to give them a raise. I must retain this group of outstanding talents."

While Hu Yang was overjoyed, he also strengthened his determination to raise the salary of all employees in the company.

When the time was almost up, Hu Yang and Meng Rusong came to the conference room.

Directors, all are here.

The meeting was still presided over by Hu Yang, and Zhang Rulin went abroad to recuperate during this time, so he, the executive director, became the apparent manager of the company.

After Hu Yang greeted everyone, he directly talked about today's topic.There is only one topic, and that is to increase the salary of all employees of Xintong International.

"I have no objection to the salary increase, but isn't the one-time salary increase of Director Hu's plan a bit too big?"

Before the meeting started, Meng Rusong had asked for a printout of the salary increase plan to be given to all the directors.

Those present here are not opposed to the salary increase itself, but some directors have raised objections to the extent of the salary increase.

"Guys, here's what I think about it. Instead of jogging in small steps, it is better to get a salary increase. What is the purpose of our salary increase? In addition to recognizing the performance of the company's employees, the main purpose is to retain talents.

To this end, we have optimized the company's reward mechanism and introduced a housing allocation system.But I personally don't think it's enough.Everyone knows that the semiconductor industry is a technology-intensive industry, and talents are particularly critical.However, the cultivation of talents in this industry is very difficult and the cycle is very long.We can't be a talent school for other companies. "

What Hu Yang said is very true. For most employees, salary and benefits are the key to their choice of a company.

"Dear directors, I agree with Mr. Hu's plan. I think we have to do things in one step. It is very difficult to achieve our expected goals."

Huang Dong of Hantang Newsletter also expressed his support for Populus euphratica at this time.Immediately afterwards, two more directors agreed to the salary increase plan this time.

Everyone understands that it is more important to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees than the increase in corporate costs brought about by salary increases.

If the technical backbone of the enterprise is poached with high salaries, it will be a disaster for the enterprise.

Seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Hu Yang said, "Then let's vote."

The results of the vote showed that no one objected to the salary increase plan proposed by Hu Yang and passed it unanimously.

"Thank you for the support of all the directors! Mr. Meng, this matter has been resolved, and the next specific affairs will be entrusted to you, and you must handle them as soon as possible."

Hu Yang was overjoyed. Once this decision was made, it would not only prevent the company's employees from being poached by others, but it might also be possible to poach people in reverse.

After the meeting, Huang Dong deliberately chatted with Hu Yang.

Huang Dong meant that since Populus Hu Yang led the establishment of the Hi-Tech Venture Capital Fund, should he also consider raising some funds for Xintong International?
Regardless of the fact that the current cash flow of Xintong International has been greatly improved, the company's research and development expenses still need to increase.Considering the cost increase brought about by this salary increase, some funds need to be injected.

"Mr. Huang, your suggestion is very reasonable. But there is no need to rush to raise funds for the time being. I think Xintong International can support it for a while. In this way, this option will always be kept. If necessary, the matter of financing will be completed in a short time. Can handle it."

Hu Yang has completely controlled the high-tech venture capital fund. When he said this, Huang Dong was relieved.

After Huang Dong left the company, Hu Yang came to Meng Rusong's office again.

"Mr. Hu, I have something to report to you. Some time ago, we made a small batch of CPU chips for Huaxin, and they were very satisfied. No, the other party wants to place an order for us again. You said we can't accept it. catch?"

Huaxin belongs to the enterprise under the Institute of Computer Science, National Academy of Sciences, and has always aimed to conquer domestic CPUs.

However, there is a big gap between the indicators of Huaxin products and Intel and AMD.In addition, Huaxin did not adopt the X86 and ARM architecture, but adopted the MIPC architecture, and there are also big problems in terms of ecology.

Hu Yang felt that even if the current technology of domestic CPUs is very backward, the significance of its existence is extraordinary.

"Which aspect will the new batch of CPU production orders be used for? If it is used in consumer electronics, we really can't accept it. If it is used in satellites, or even supercomputing, we will help them produce it."

Hu Yang feels that Huaxin cannot compete with Intel and AMD in the field of consumer electronics, and it is easy for people to get caught, which will affect Xintong International.

But if Huaxin's CPU is used in other fields, especially in the aerospace field, it must be firmly supported.

"Huaxin said it was used on satellites."

Meng Rusong understood Hu Yang's attitude, and he would accept this new batch of orders.

At noon, after Hu Yang and Meng Rusong had lunch together, they went straight back to the "old bungalow".

Stepping here again, Wu Xinhui's emotions can be controlled better.She found that she has fallen in love with the job of assistant, because with Hu Yang, she can see many things that she could not touch before.

Sure enough, although the position cannot determine a person's ability, it can determine a person's vision.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang from the microelectronics equipment called and asked if you have arrived in Shanghai? He also said, if it is convenient for you, please go to the microelectronics equipment."

Zhang Xiao has always been well-informed about the news, and I don't know where he learned that Populus euphratica has come to Shanghai again.

Hu Yang felt that Zhang Xiao probably also had his eye on the Hi-Tech Venture Capital Fund.

"Well, Miss Wu, please call Mr. Zhang back for me and tell him that I will go to his place at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Hu Yang had already asked Wu Xinhui if she could go on a long-term business trip, and she said no problem.Now it depends on her recent performance. If she performs well, Hu Yang will hire her as his assistant.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Wu Xinhui didn't say much in front of Hu Yang, but she carried out the order without any hesitation.

Three in the afternoon.

Hu Yang came to Zhang Xiao's office on time.

"Mr. Hu, I've been waiting for you to inspect the work. Our microelectronics equipment is also your direct descendant, so you can't treat it differently."

When Zhang Xiao saw Populus euphratica, he immediately poured out bitter water.To say a thousand words and ten thousand is still a lack of money for microelectronics equipment.The research and development of lithography machines is originally piled up with money, and it may not be successful if you spend money, but if you have no money, you will lose even a thought.

"Mr. Zhang, your play is too fake. How long has it been since the company's latest round of financing ended? You won't tell me that you have exhausted everything, right?"

Hu Yang was secretly amused, Zhang Xiao was able to lower his face a lot of the time, which was comparable to Yan Hanzhang.

"Hey, I didn't say that a new round of financing will be held soon. I don't want to register with you first, so as not to be missed when I get there."

Zhang Xiao didn't take it seriously either, she could express her little thoughts generously.

"Okay, there is a strict internal review process for the investment of Hi-Tech Venture Capital Fund. If Mr. Zhang thinks it is necessary, he can submit the application in advance."

High-tech venture capital funds are now gradually on the right track, and various management systems are becoming more and more perfect.Some processes that should be followed must be followed, and there is nothing wrong with this.

Zhang Xiao laughed, stood up and said, "Mr. Hu, let's go, I'll take you to see the latest progress of the R&D team."

Hu Yang got up immediately, took Wu Xinhui and others, and followed Zhang Xiao's footsteps.

"Mr. Hu, please look, this is the prototype of the first high-end lithography machine we developed. The light source of this 110nm lithography machine uses the 193nm ArF light source from the Institute of Optical Mechanics, and the objective lens is imported from Germany."

Following Zhang Xiao's explanation, Hu Yang looked at the projection stepper in front of him with great interest.

This moment is a milestone for everyone in the domestic semiconductor industry.This also means that domestic high-end lithography machines have achieved zero breakthroughs. Although the technological gap with foreign lithography machines is still large, people have already seen the dawn of hope.

"Zhang Dong, what is your next plan?"

Hu Yang calmed down his excited mood, then turned to look at Zhang Xiao.

"Our next step is to continue to advance the research and development of lithography machines on the one hand, and strive to overcome the 90nm lithography machine and realize mass production as soon as possible. On the other hand, we will start to study the related technologies of immersion lithography machines , I hope there will be a breakthrough within five years.”

At present, the latest 110nm lithography machine developed by microelectronics equipment has not yet achieved mass production.Zhang Xiao intends to continue to improve the design and manufacturing, laying a solid foundation for the mass production of 90nm lithography machines in the next step.

As for the technology of the immersion lithography machine, that is something to be said. It will not have practical significance until the 90nm and 65nm lithography machines are conquered, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

"Zhang Dong, I didn't expect your progress to be so fast! To be honest, I saw the prototype of this 110nm lithography machine today, which made me full of confidence in domestic high-end lithography equipment. Next, if the company has financial difficulties , I will definitely support it strongly.”

Hu Yang can't help with technical matters, but he can provide financial help.If microelectronic equipment submits an application to the High-tech Venture Capital Fund, I dare not say that there is too much, and the funds within 100 billion yuan are still no problem.

"Haha, I'll just wait for your words. Let's go, let's go to another place."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Zhang Xiao was in a good mood and didn't talk nonsense, and continued to take Hu Yang and others to inspect the company.
