Comeback 1992

  Chapter 1016 rolled up

  Shenwei Equipment naturally received the news that the prototype of ASML's EUV lithography machine started to be assembled. It is not good news for Shenwei Equipment's extreme ultraviolet lithography machine research and development team, because their prototype machine is not expected to be assembled until 2012. This gap suddenly widened for another two years.

   "ASML wants to formally deliver EUV lithography machines, and it will take at least five or six years."

  Five or six years!

  Han Songlin remembers that the 7nm chip was officially mass-produced in 2018, and it was the A12 processor of the fruit company.

   In terms of technology, it should be mastered in 2017.

  ASML officially supplied EUV lithography machines in 2016.

  Before 7nm, there are 14nm and 10nm chips as well as 16nm, 18nm and 20nm chips.

  16, 18 and 20 chips, Han Songlin is not very impressed.

   Should have been quickly skipped.

  As for the 28nm process technology, Han Songlin knows that in his last life, Huaguo had fully mastered the process technology at this stage.

  Five or six years may seem like a long time, but it really flies by in the blink of an eye.

time is limited.

  Tang Yan knew that the time period mentioned by Han Songlin was a prediction given by the analysis department of Xinghai Group.

   "What if they are ahead of schedule?"

   Is there a possibility of advance?

  Han Songlin thinks yes: "So, we still have to increase the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines."

   Domestic EUV lithography can come out later than ASML, and it cannot be said that it is too late.

  At this moment, Han Songlin was actually not in a hurry.

   It is better to come out early than to come out early, and it does not mean that it is unacceptable to come out late.

   What is urgent is not me, but ASML.

   Now Shenwei Equipment has achieved mass production of 28nm process lithography machines on the lithography machine. In the next two years, Shenwei Equipment will realize the mass production of 22nm process lithography machines.

  The technology mastered by Europe and the United States is actually not much different.

  Because this is a lithography machine that can achieve a process below 22nm.

  Although he is not in a hurry, Han Songlin has already decided to increase the research and development funds for Shenwei Equipment.

  Xinghai Group has invested nearly 30 billion in the research and development of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and this money is like a bottomless pit, so it has to continue to invest.

  If other companies are faced with such an investment, they may just cross over directly.

   Fortunately, behind Shenwei Equipment, Xinghai Group stands now.

  A company that has continuously invested its profits in research and development for more than ten years.

  After hearing Han Songlin's reasons for not being in a hurry, Tang Yan opened her mouth involuntarily. Her uncle is really good at comforting himself.

"Uncle, you have thought about it. Everyone has been tense all the time, wanting to achieve technological surpassing of Europe and the United States. But it seems that the surpassing is about to be achieved, but the gap is opened up by European and American companies in terms of technology. In this way, how will everyone feel?"

  Han Songlin frowned when he heard this.

   Really didn't consider this matter.

   Heart Qi is more important than anything else.

   Whether a person has a heart or not is completely different.

  Han Songlin rubbed his forehead: "Indeed, we can't vent our hearts."

   "That Cymer company, can you get their light source technical information?"

   In addition, I heard that amsl intends to acquire Cymer. Already in contact with Cymer's shareholders. "

  Historically, AMSL acquired Cymer in 2012.

  Facing the pressure from Shenwei Equipment, AMSL obviously accelerated the pace.

  For example, after the prototype of the EUV lithography machine came out this year, AMSL’s three major customers, Triangle Star, Baoji and Intel, jointly invested 5.259 billion euros in AMSL to support the subsequent research and development of its EUV lithography machine.

  5.259 billion euros, more than 40 billion if converted into RMB!

  Han Songlin looked deeply at Tang Yan: "Since you bought Cymer, didn't you put some people in it?"

   "People are installed, but in the management. In terms of technology, there are no people at all."

  Han Songlin said harshly: "Then think of a way to delay the completion of the acquisition first. Even if you can't stop it, then you can get greater benefits."

   Putting down the idea of ​​using special means, Han Songlin knew that he had to rely on himself.

   It's okay, but it doesn't mean I'm not prepared.

  The study of extreme ultraviolet light sources is also carried out by the Star Academy.

   In terms of light source research, it has also been laid out for a long time.

   As for optical lenses?

  The best optical lens manufacturer in China is owned by Xinghai Group.

  Tang Yan didn't think it was difficult for her to drag on.

   There are too many reasons to delay one thing.

   "If it is delayed, it won't be too long. If AMSL makes an offer that cannot be rejected, then it must be sold."

  People have put forward very sincere offers, if you still don’t sell it, then there is a problem.

  Some things behind will be exposed.

  For example, the company that holds shares in Cymer has problems.

  AMSL’s research and development of EUV lithography machine is not a purely corporate behavior.

  After all, THC invests in the United States, so there are obvious investments, but many of them use vests.

  Han Songlin naturally understood the meaning of this: "Actually, we have no way to limit AMSL's research and development progress on EUV lithography machines."

   Tang Yan nodded lightly, that is indeed the case.

  Instead of thinking about restricting others, it is better to think about how to develop yourself.

   "Now, we need to give more support to Shenwei Equipment, whether in terms of funds or personnel."

  In May, there was a big event for Huaguo.

   That is the World Expo.

   This is the first time that Huaguo has hosted a world expo, and it is also a way to show Huaguo's influence.

  At this time, Huaguo has become increasingly influential in the world since the Olympics.

  In particular, Huaguo took the lead in coming out of the global economic crisis and became the main engine driving the development of the global economy.

  When the World Expo opened, it happened to be the May Day holiday, and Han Songlin called Han Ze and Han Yingzi.

   He Chaoqun, who is preparing his graduation thesis in school, will also be invited to come to Shanghai to watch the World Expo.

  The park has just opened, and it is a holiday. There are extremely many people who come here to visit.

   There are a lot of people, this is really normal.

  Due to the World Expo, the Shanghai Fuller Hotel was immediately full of people staying in the hotel.
