Big Country Intelligent Manufacturing

Time flies quickly, and the sun is setting in a blink of an eye.Xu Zhenming's special car, dressed in a dark golden sunset color, drove into the compound of Mingxin Manufacturing Company like a flying arrow.

At this time, Zhang Nyijing, Zhang Guoli, Hu Mingzhen and others who received the notice were already standing in line outside the gate of No. 2 factory building to greet each other.

"Haha, here it is. Xu Dong's temperament is even more impatient than I am." Zhang Nyijing put up the arbor and smiled and smiled at the Benz car that was whizzing.

Zhang Guolibi would come, and he had already taken a step towards the car that had just stopped, ready to open the door for Xu Zhenming.His behavior is very common in the system, and most subordinates would think of this.But as a scientist engaged in technological research, most people really can't do it.

"Xu Dong, I want to report a good news to you. The Dolphin I-1 chip has been successful. If you use a four and a half layer FinFET

+1 process technology, this chip can be mass produced."While driving the door, Zhang Guoli reported the latest development progress of Kaiyuan second-generation mobile phone chips.

He knew that Xu Zhenming was most concerned about the bulk tape-out cost of the Dolphin I-1 chip, so he came over to open the door for Xu Zhenming, and immediately reported the situation to Xu Zhenming.

According to Zhang Guoli’s calculations, if the Dolphin I-1 chip can produce 10 million units, the single cost of this chip can be reduced to less than $200; if it can sell 20 million units, the finished product can be reduced by about 20%. .

This set of theory is in line with the cost budgets of chip development, testing, and production.

For example, in order to support the mass production of this chip, Mingxin Manufacturing Company needs to develop a special process technology, which requires cost.

For example, Zhang Guoli's team developed this chip's salary, test fees, material costs, etc., are one of the research and development costs of the Dolphin I-1 chip.

If the sales volume of this chip does not reach 10 million, Kaiyuan second-generation mobile phones do not need to use FinFET+1's four-and-a-half-layer technology to tape out the chip, or the chip cannot be launched at all.

After saying these points, Zhang Guoli looked at Xu Zhenming blankly, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.He was waiting for Xu Zhenming's following to see what the boss had to say.

Things are different from what he imagined.

"Ten million is 10 million. As long as you can determine the tape-out process, we will start production immediately." Xu Zhenming said.He expressed great expectations for the Kaiyuan second-generation mobile phone, hoping that this phone can surpass the Kaiyuan generation and become a classic mobile phone again.

With the passage of time, Kaiyuan generation mobile phones have become popular around the world, making Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola no longer dared to release new products.

These three giants have been leading the trend of the mobile phone industry.But at present, their mobile phones can't use WAP to surf the Internet, can't achieve stereo sound effects, and can't use color display screens.

……and many more.

As the overlord of the industry, if the new mobile phones they want to release cannot surpass the Kaiyuan generation mobile phones, then they have to discredit their own brand.

Therefore, these three giants have been promoting derivative models of old mobile phones, and they are using reduced prices to compete for market share in China and the world.

Everyone is holding back their energy.

Needless to guess, Xu Zhenming also knows that these three companies are developing new mobile phones, and they have to surpass Kaiyuan generation mobile phones in some respects.

Therefore, Xu Zhenming, who speculated in this situation, believes that they must preempt their giant companies to release new products and bring Kaiyuan second-generation mobile phones to the market.

With this feeling in mind, Xu Zhenming hurriedly walked into the lithography room of Factory No. 2 accompanied by Zhang Nyijing, Hu Mingzhen and others.

"Xu Dong, our team has recently achieved a new result. The domestic etching machine has also been prototyped and is in the final debugging stage." Hu Mingzhen accompanied Xu Zhenming and casually said good news.

The etching machine is also a very important key equipment on the chip production line.The etching machines used by Mingxin Manufacturing Company and even the chip production line under the SMIC Group that will be listed are imported second-hand goods.This product is also one of the key products that Yiming Group wants to localize, and it is currently being tackled by Guo Liansheng's team.

Hearing this good news, Xu Zhenming felt a double happiness."Well, tonight I invite you to have a big meal at the Yiming Guest House." He turned his head with a smile and glanced at Hu Mingzhen.

This look has another meaning. He originally wanted to ask when the chip production line will be fully localized.But considering that Guo Liansheng’s team was formed late and Hu Mingzhen’s team had a lot of tasks, this kind of remarks could not be said in person.

You must know that a chip production line consists of many systems.For example, ion implantation system, plasma washing system, rapid annealing oxidation system, electroplating system, packaging system and so on.At present, the equipment used in these systems are all high-precision and sophisticated equipment, which China cannot produce.

And Xu Zhenming wants to realize the localization of the entire production line, the difficulty can be imagined.But this is not the case. He is afraid that someday the Americans will ban all devices in these systems from flowing into China.At that time, Yiming Group will think about the localization of chip production lines, I am afraid it is too late.

"Islanders are still more united. If you want to engage in the microelectronics industry, everyone should work together to divide the work. Our group wants to fight the world. It's really exhausting!"

Thinking of these questions, Xu Zhenming couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

According to the development trend of the chip manufacturing industry, the chip tape-out process will be subdivided in the future, and the back-end process such as packaging will produce professional manufacturers.

At that point, what if there are no domestic companies that can keep up?

Does Yiming Group still need to carry the banner alone to charge into the battle?

If this development continues, will Yiming Group be another Intel company?

Thinking of these annoying things, Xu Zhenming frowned and looked at the LCD screen of the control workstation of the lithography machine system.

"Xu Dong, in order to cooperate with the process technology research and development of FinFET+1, we have updated the control software system of the lithography machine again. You see, what is the difference in the control interface this time." When Xu Zhenming was a little upset, Zhang Neo Jing pointed to the computer screen of the lithography machine workstation with a smile and said.

At this moment, an animated simulation process of lithography exposure is displayed on the computer screen.

In this process, the accuracy of the silicon wafer has been simulated using the molecular layer accuracy model, and the four-and-a-half-layer circuit diagram after lithography is simulated and displayed on the computer screen.

The precision of the lithography machine chip is too high, and it is difficult to see the circuit diagram of the silicon wafer with the naked eye or with a normal magnifying glass.Operators want to see the situation after the silicon wafer is exposed, they can only get accurate information in this way.

This method is relatively advanced under current technical conditions, and requires very high requirements for computer hardware capabilities and laser system signal feedback capabilities.

According to Zhang Neojing, only Yiming Group can do this in the world at present!
