City: Start A Chip Factory

"Hey, I'm looking for Mr. Ren, yes, Ren Jingfei."

"No appointment...what? No? Yu Chengxi can do it too! I want to talk to Yu Chengxi!"

"W-why not? I'm really in a hurry!"

"Let me tell you, I have a chip factory now, and I want to negotiate with you..."

Toot toot…

The phone was hung up.

Damn it!

Du Bo was so angry that he almost threw his phone away.

This is the third time I have called Huawei.

The person who answered the phone was someone from the board of directors' office who didn't believe Du Bo's words at all.

He also said to Du Bo: "Hey, you scammers have upgraded your methods again!"

There is a chip factory in Du Bo.

This does sound like bullshit.

But Du Bo is definitely not bragging.

A few days ago, Du Bo became the host of the system - the Light of Civilization system.

What is the light of civilization?

According to the clever Du Bo's idea, that is high technology, using high technology to promote the progress of civilization.

So Du Bo has a heavy burden on his shoulders!

However, the system was very kind and gave Du Bo a chip factory from the beginning.

It can give Du Bo a good start and a good start.

Du Bo was originally a hard-working office worker who drifted to Beijing.

When Du Bo got the chip factory a few days ago, he was so excited that he was about to quit his job.

I'm thinking about doing OEM work for Huawei, but I can't make a lot of money!

But Huawei ignored him at all Du Bo!

It's good now, there is a chip factory, but it is of no use.

Du Bo is going crazy.

He only has more than 20,000 soft girl coins in his card.

If this continues, we will drink from the northwest wind.

Du Bo was so anxious that he walked around in the rental cabin.

This is how to do?

By the way, how about selling the chip factory? It might be worth hundreds of millions.

Du Bo just thought about it. The system assistant has already said that any assets given by the system cannot be sold.

There is no other way. Go to the chip factory first and then slowly think of a solution.

The chip factory is quite far from Du Bo's residence, outside the North Sixth Ring Road of the Imperial Capital.

The area occupied is not generally large, and the factory building can be seen at a glance.

The entire chip factory consists of three factory buildings, an R&D laboratory building and an office building.

These three factories are not three chip production lines, but one overall production line.

However, this chip factory is also divided into levels. It is still a first-level chip factory, with a full level of five.

The higher the grade, the higher the output, energy consumption and yield rate.

Chip production is more complicated than most people imagine.

For example, the chip factory acquired by Du Bo can currently produce 12-inch wafers.

This is currently the most high-end, most advanced wafer size in the world.

It can manufacture chips with 28nm, 14nm, 7nm, 5nm, or even the following processes.

The monthly chip production of this production line can reach 100,000 wafers!

Including diffusion equipment, 22 units are required.

42 cvd devices are required.

15 pieces of glue coating and glue removal equipment are required.

Eight photolithography machines are required.

25 etching equipment are required.

13 ion implantation equipment are required.

PVD equipment requires 24 units.

12 grinding and polishing equipment are required.

17 cleaning equipment are required.

50 pieces of testing equipment are required.

33 pieces of testing equipment are required.

…

Moreover, photolithography materials such as photoresist and hydrogen fluoride can be produced automatically, and their purity is 100%!

To put it bluntly, this chip factory does not need to worry about raw materials at all.

There is no need to worry about energy sources such as electricity and water, as the system has already been arranged.

The cost is not much.

You have to ask, what should I do if there are no workers?

It doesn't matter?

This chip factory has fully automated production capabilities!

Many times more advanced than any chip factory in the world!

When it comes to production, Du Bo can do it alone.

But the productivity efficiency is relatively low

If we want to increase productivity until we can increase chip production capacity to the highest level, we still need to hire people to do the work.

Not available for now.

Moreover, these machines are all maintenance-free and automatically maintained.

It's a pity that Du Bo guarded such a big golden mountain, but it was useless.

If no one places orders for production, you can’t make any money, so of course it’s useless!

This is not selling milk tea, anyone can buy a cup on the street.

Chips are different. You have to be a big company. Only big companies will have demand for chips.

Huawei is the one most short of chips now, but they just don't believe it. What can Du Bo do?

This is not surprising. If it were Du Bo who answered the phone from Huawei, he wouldn't believe it.

An unknown guy suddenly said that he had a chip factory that could solve Huawei's problem.

Who believes it?

Du Bo thought it would be better to try another company first.

But how to find it?

Du Bo checked it online and found a way.

In a few days, the Imperial Capital will hold a technology product exhibition.

Du Bo thought that he could go there and talk to the manufacturer in person about this matter.

But you can't go empty-handed, you have to be prepared, otherwise no one will pay attention to him in the end.

Du Bo entered the factory first and took photos everywhere. There must be hundreds of photos.

Then the most important step came. Du Bo started the entire production line and then performed a tape-out.

This is an incredible move.

Whether it is possible to manufacture chips and what level the manufactured chips can reach, tape-out is very important.

Of course, after the tape-out is completed, it still needs to be cut into wafers.
