Rewrite the Technological Landscape

As China’s largest chip foundry, Huaxin International has long been criticized by the public as a prodigal, because it has been given national blood transfusion for a long time, but it can’t develop. Even in 2017, Huaxin International’s product sales in Omi exceeded 50%, everyone still Call him a prodigal, after all, he is doing low-end products.

On the contrary, it was only after the trade war in 2018 that more and more people appeared to understand Huaxin International. After all, the equipment technology was locked by the United States, so what to do for development. One lithography machine problem is enough to make Huaxin International never want to be among high-end chip manufacturers.

But we still have to realize that Huaxin International does have some of its own problems, such as notorious management problems.

"Is there any important thing for Mr. Meng to get out of his busy schedule?" Zhang Rujin knew how busy Meng Qian was these days, so he didn’t talk nonsense, and Zhang Rujin had already met with Meng Qian yesterday, but there were still Others were present, and Meng Qian specially came to him for a single chat today.

"There are indeed very important things." Meng Qian responded directly, "Mr. Zhang knows that we are developing lithography machines, right?"

"Of course." Hearing the words lithography machine, Zhang Rujin's body straightened up subconsciously.

Meng Qian lowered his voice unconsciously, "Before I came to Yanjing this time, the lithography machine team told me a news that our lithography machine may be out in a few months."

Zhang Rujin immediately became energetic several times. Regarding what lithography machine Dafeng Group is engaged in, and what kind of effect is expected, he naturally knows all these things, "In a few months, he should be able to catch up with Asimer." !"

"Mr Zhang knows quite a lot." Meng Qian smiled.

Zhang Rujin smiled, "After all, it is a lithography machine independently developed by our country, and I can't help but learn more."

"When will Asme be able to get it out? To be honest, we don't know. After all, their R&D situation is completely locked up. So we can't be too optimistic.

I asked Mr. Zhang today, mainly because the lithography machine needs to be verified by the market. Since Mr. Zhang pays so much attention to our Dafeng Group's lithography machine, I wonder if Huaxin International is interested in helping us verify the product? "

"We?" Zhang Rujin hesitated, "This is not suitable, right?"

"Why, Mr. Zhang can't believe our products?"

"Of course not." Zhang Rujin hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "It's just that you know Mr. Meng. Huaxin International has always produced low-end chips. If your immersion lithography machine succeeds, if there is not much news I have received. The big deviation is that high-end lithography machines should get better fabs for experimentation. Huaxin International lacks experience and capabilities."

Meng Qian nodded and said that he knew, "But now that Asme is also developing immersion lithography machines, I have to prepare for the worst. Our experiment needs time. After the experiment, the lithography machine is mass-produced. It also takes time to produce large-scale chips, because from the technology itself, we may not be very different from Asim. The final decision depends on the market performance of the product. This is that a slow step may be full. All things are lost, so I want to find a reliable company to cooperate. I am worried that if someone does some small actions in it, it will be troublesome.

Zhang always knows that companies in the Neon Country can do everything, and the three most available wafer fabs in Taiwan Province now have a lot of foreign capital penetration, not to mention that they themselves have a lot of influence on our mainland companies. some thoughts.

So my plan is to spend more money in the experimental phase and develop two more lithography machines at that time. On the one hand, I will find a more mature high-end chip foundry for experimentation. On the other hand, I will also find a Trustworthy fabs come to experiment.

Another reason is that chips are the top priority in the future of science and technology. Since we want to build China's ecology, of course, we must have our own high-end chip production capabilities. Otherwise, the entire upstream industry will be nothing for us. "

Zhang Rujin couldn't help but glanced at Meng Qian more. "You are thinking about the whole China again."

"Then I don't know if we can provide high-end lithography machines in Zhang's opinion, will Huaxin International have a chance to develop into a high-end fab?"

"The lithography machine is indeed the core of the production of chips, but it is obviously not enough to have a high-end lithography machine." Zhang Rujin looked a little helpless.

"What else does Mr. Zhang need?"

Zhang Rujin really appreciates Meng Qian these days, but he doesn't need to say more if he is hypocritical, "First of all, we need a complete set of high-end industrial software."

"We Dafeng Group can provide this. We have optimized and upgraded industrial software through the cooperation with Sony. Our current industrial software is definitely not inferior to any international industrial software, and we have achieved a complete set of industrial software independence. , No one can restrict us."

I don’t know why. I haven’t verified it yet. Zhang Rujin believes what Meng Qian said, “The other problem is equipment. Once we have a high-end lithography machine, other equipment needed to produce chips will start to be banned. The Senner Agreement is there, this is something no one can do."

"As far as I know, the average service life of these devices should be about three years, right?"

"almost."

"Then we may be able to take a gamble. Through the technical transaction with Canon, I gave them some core technologies in chip architecture and design, and they gave us the core of some lithography machine-related equipment that is currently relatively backward in China. Technology ~www.ltnovel.com~ And after I got these core technologies, I resold them to the corresponding domestic equipment manufacturers. The development and production of these equipment is not as difficult as the lithography machine. I believe that I will give them about three years. , They can produce substitutes."

There have been some changes in Zhang Rujin's eyes, "Material is also a problem, and sales will also be banned."

"Bluestar Group President Zhang knows, right?"

"That's natural. Bluestar is our supplier and has been cooperating for many years."

"I talked to Bluestar. We will co-found a materials laboratory to specialize in the materials needed for chip production. Mr. Zhang should also know that a big problem in materials research is project investment, because materials research is very expensive. It is difficult for companies to invest too much money under the premise of uncertain results.

But for this cooperative R&D project, our Dafeng Group will prepare absolutely enough investment. Bluestar is mainly responsible for producing people. Of course, we will also produce people in the future. We have to bet on whether we can succeed, but at least we are already doing this. It's just a hope.

What else is missing from Mr. Zhang? "

"I" Zhang Rujin was speechless for a while. In fact, there are still some shortages, such as skilled workers, but Zhang Rujin can't speak anymore. Meng Qian, an "outsider", has actually laid out the domestic chip production to this point. He really has no face to continue to mention. With the demand, is it true that Huaxin International can't overcome it with a little difficulty? Is it really like what everyone said is a prodigal son?

Zhang Rujin's eyes finally became firm, and a smile appeared, "I think this is indeed an opportunity for Huaxin International. If this is the case, we will not fight for it. It seems a bit unreasonable."
