please make money

Page 94

As for spending money, Alia has the final say on how much money is spent. If the money is gone, he can work harder to earn money.

After all, the family fortune is still there. If it is difficult to make money these days, there will be no easy things...

"Eastern Suburb Research Institute, what exactly is it researching?"

Aliya looked at the buildings that were beeping past outside the train. The train was divided into several sections. They were at the front of the train, and the employees were laughing silly behind.

But she is here to spend money, not to be silly. You show me the land, and I don’t engage in GDP—how about some drama?

"We established the Dongjiao Research Institute three years ago, mainly dedicated to the future of the Internet, especially the Internet of Everything, to promote the technological innovation of intelligentization, electrification, and sharing of future consumer products, as well as some cloud computing and big data technologies. , as well as application scenario reserve technologies for intelligent networked electric vehicles."

"I don't understand." Aliya looked at him: "I just have one question-semiconductors, what are you doing?"

Yu Dapao pursed his lips, a little unaccustomed to this kind of straightforwardness.

"...Fuck!" Mr. Meng behind him poked his head out: "But Miss Ai, but do you know how deep the water in semiconductors is?"

How deep?Aliya smiled immediately, with a complex smile, with seven points of nostalgia, three points of salute, 88 points of unwillingness, and two points of joking in her eyes.

Do you understand the 10-point system--I don't understand the [-]-point system, you can always understand the [-]-year soul ring skill and mother's entanglement-do you know why my father went there before he disappeared?

She raised her head: "Father Ai Rulong—mother Lu Wuxia!"

"..."

……

"We are very sorry about what happened to Mr. Ai."

Yu Dapao sincerely regrets that, not to mention Ai Rulong's reputation in the business world, everyone in their careers understands this courage.

In the conference room, only Aliya, Jing Ershao, and Lei Fan were sitting on one side, and Yu Dapao, Mr. Meng, and the supervisor of a laboratory sat on the other side.

Aliya finally saw what she wanted to see. The 300 billion items were condensed into thirty pages, bound into a volume, and placed in front of her.

That's right!

It's boring to look at European-style resorts and land in the eastern suburbs.

Alia's eyes became brighter the more she looked at each page of this brochure, which was worth billions of dollars in investment.

Semiconductor is a general term. If it is calculated according to the basic concept of semiconductor, the industry is huge enough.

What the Dongjiao Research Institute studies should actually be called a chip.

There is such a branch of integrated circuits in semiconductors, and integrated circuits can be roughly equivalent to what we call chips today.

According to the industry, integrated circuits can be regarded as at most a quarter of semiconductor products, and generally they are not counted.

But the other alias have no way to get involved, what discrete devices, what sensors, what optoelectronic devices, I don't understand.

……Um?Perhaps the sensor can be understood by myself. Is the third uncle doing this?

Turning back a page, Aliya felt that it was better to focus on what was in front of her eyes. It was not a big problem. Could the third uncle's tonality still stab her in the back?

If he doesn't take money from himself, he has already fulfilled the responsibility of an uncle, and he can't get back a large sum of money that he can't spend...

In addition to software, Dongjiao Research Institute has only one hardware research, integrated circuit IC!

This thing occupies more than [-]% of the market share in the global semiconductor market, and one of them is a digital chip and the other is an analog chip.

The analog chip market is small, and digital chips account for 64% of the [-]%. This [-], it sounds auspicious, and you can make money by looking at it.

So Mr. Meng plunged headlong into this blue sea, and when he went in, he found out that this was no blue sea, it was just a swamp, not even the red sea...

There is not enough money to spend, there is no market, R&D talents and technologies cannot be found for R&D, and manufacturing has to catch up with grandparents one by one.

It's very rhyming, and it's also very frustrating. The money invested in three years has been wasted, and the real money can't hold it anymore!

Aliya was still savoring the taste of a billion dollars on this page, but Lei Fan had already finished reading it first, and then launched an attack on the spot.

"If it's such a plan, then I advise the two of you to find a philanthropist—maybe philanthropists will be interested in this kind of project!"

When others draw cakes, at least there will be a cake shape in the end. If it is successful, everyone can share it, and even if it is not good, you can smell the fragrance.

They make cakes to drag people into the fields: Look!Our wheat has sprouted!Big pie is close at hand!

If you want to tell the truth, the technical aspects are as solid as plowing fields, one seed and one piece of soil, and tender shoots visible to the naked eye.

But you have to say whether it is delicious... Can we last until the day when the wheat is mature, harvested, hulled, ground, floured, kneaded and kneaded to make cakes?

Jing Ershao couldn't understand it, and after turning a few pages, he felt a chill on his back, and he was sweating profusely, as if Cao Cao had cured his headache by reading the calligraphic essay.

One billion yuan on one page, [-] billion yuan on one page—hey, this is too much—oh, the next page is merciful, [-] million yuan is missing.

Is this something people can see?

Yu Dapao glanced at his old partner, not without complaints, why do you think you are so exciting?

Get in first!Cheat in and slaughter slowly!Hook up first, then pull the sunk cost, and then roll around!

If it doesn’t work, you can go on the market and then kill the leeks, pull them down after a wave, and then pull them up and then drop them. After all, today’s leeks have a strong sense of self-management.

Didn't Jing X Fang next door fill the warehouse with screen patented technology by relying on this?

Aliya turned to the tenth page, raised her eyebrows, and saw some unpretentious business evaluation content.

How big is the semiconductor market? 5000 billion - US dollars!

But this money cannot be earned, because the technology is limited, all the key things are in the hands of others, and only 5000 billion soup dregs can be eaten.

The simplest point is the semiconductor manufacturing process, or the semiconductor manufacturing process.

In the current commercial field, 28nm is the watershed between mature and advanced processes. The lower the level, the more precise, and the more precise, the stronger.

The process technology of 28nm and above is called mature process, and the process technology of below 28nm is called advanced process.

Sophisticated advanced processes are mainly used for high-performance, low-power products, such as mobile phones, computers, and memory chips.

Mature processes are used to manufacture small and medium-capacity chips, such as chips for the Internet of Things, power management, display drivers, and sensors.

What the Dongjiao Research Institute can produce are basically product designs with 28 or even 40 processes—yes, the ones that have no production capacity yet.

They are running out of money for tape-outs now, not to mention the market, and they have a bunch of unrealizable product prototypes in their hands all the time.

Mr. Meng looked at Alia's expression and the content of that page, and he was already familiar with these things: "Miss Ai."

"Ok?"

"Our product design may not be the most advanced, but sometimes the most advanced is not necessarily the best to use."

"Appreciate further details."

"From the perspective of input and output, semiconductors with mature process technology are the most used products in the entire industry. They are low in cost and high in cost performance. They can exchange 100% of expenditure for 230% of income, and the advantage of more mature technology is that The output is guaranteed, the yield rate is high, and the shipment volume is stable."

This is true, except for some high-tech products, such as expensive mobile phones, computers, etc., most other products do not require advanced process chips, and the current advanced process is far from the 2nm level in Alia's memory. Large, advanced and mature segmentation is only theoretically made.

In other words, calculated according to the current market, I am afraid that 40nm is the watershed, so the level of Dongjiao Research Institute is in the middle and high end.

Alia agrees with Mr. Meng's statement in her heart, but she still has to be steady on the surface, with a noncommittal look.

She continued to scroll down, and had to say that this thing was definitely made by a man of science and technology. The layout and illustrations were so simple, densely packed with words.

Counting the middle and lower reaches according to the industrial chain, then the most upstream is actually not involved in the design, but the provision of materials.

Especially silicon wafers and packaging, without these raw materials, there is no place to find hot shit in the middle and lower reaches.

Silicon wafers are followed by manufacturing, that is, lithography and etching machines that will sound cocooned in the ears of later generations. They are very expensive, very expensive, and very high-end.

Dongjiao Research Institute currently knows that it has no ability to get involved in semiconductor materials and semiconductor manufacturing, so it is in the middle of IC design and integrated circuit design.

Aliya raised her head: "Are you capable of IC manufacturing and packaging and testing?"

Unlike semiconductor materials and manufacturing, IC manufacturing technology has a low threshold.

But this low point is also relatively low, and this job is already at the level of TSMC.

Just as Cannon Yu was about to speak, Mr. Meng shook his head: "No, our current tape-outs are all entrusted to others."

"...Well." Aliya nodded: "I see."

That is to say, the Dongjiao Research Institute can only design an IC - design a circuit diagram according to the customer's needs!

The technical content of IC design is not low, that is, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Nvidia, which are chip manufacturers familiar to users.

The IC manufacturing is TSMC, so the IC packaging and testing is the most familiar assembly link. We use the goods to make products, and use the chips provided by Lao Huang to make graphics cards.

This is even more meaningless for the research institute - no orders, no shipments, nothing, what can you do?

Alia understands why it costs 300 billion. The Dongjiao Research Institute is currently doing nothing, and there is not enough food. It is conservatively estimated that in the next few years, it will be a gold swallowing beast, not relying on commercial orders but relying on direct investment to maintain With technological iteration and catching up.

After catching up, it became a blockbuster, got a big order from the market, and entered a virtuous circle. The newer the stronger, the stronger the newer.

If you can't catch up, you'll die—the investment of the Aishi Group has just been thrown into the water, and everyone sank the ship together.

As for the remaining talents, experience, team, technology... What is that thing?Does anyone care?

Alia has already turned to page 15. The more she reads, the more she looks carefully. The latter involves the development plan of the Eastern Suburb Research Institute.

The current semiconductor industry has three models, each corresponding to a different development route.

The first is the most popular IDM model, which is translated as the vertically integrated manufacturing model.

People know everything, can do everything by themselves, and don't ask for help in everything - the three core links of chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing are all self-sufficient.

The most typical representatives are Samsung and Intel, one has everything, and the other squeezes toothpaste for thousands of years.

What can make them suffer is not being stuck by someone, only the way of technology surpassing, and other times they are as stable as Mount Tai.

This mode is what Aliya likes the most. It seems that Samsung suffers because of its poor 4nm process, and was kicked by TSMC.

Toothpaste factory Intel is the same. AMD squeezed the toothpaste tube and took away part of the market. After it gave up and continued to polish 14nm++++, it immediately snatched back a part. The market recognition and its own technical strength can support it to continue to fight. If you have a foundation, you really have confidence.

But obviously, even if the Eastern Suburb Memory Institute explodes, it can't be dragged to this level, at least not now.

Then it can only be the second model, to be a design company for fabless manufacturing.

This model focuses on the chip design business, and is only responsible for the circuit design and sales of the chip, and outsources the manufacturing and packaging and testing links.

The representative companies are Qualcomm and Nvidia. One of these two broken things is not aggressive, and the other is only equipped with FKU.

AMD, the AMD that Papa Alia wants to acquire, also belongs to this category, but AMD is considered a small anomaly, so let’s not list it for the time being.

The last type of wafer foundry is unnecessary to look at, and it is useless to look at it. Dreaming-TSMC!

Of course, that is a wafer foundry with advanced manufacturing processes. If it is just a mature manufacturing process, there are many others.

But that is meaningless, and you still have to be stuck. In the final analysis, it is still the upper reaches that determine the middle and lower reaches. IC manufacturing has the right to bargain, but it does not have the confidence to turn the table.

After all, silicon wafers and photomasks directly account for 50% of semiconductor production costs. What do you use to talk to others?Take love and justice?

The next few pages of information are just some imagination.

For example, for the photoresist technology route, first build a UV broadband 300-450nm!

然后上G线436nm到i线365nm！再KrF248nm杀到ArF193nm——最后一蹦跶，EUV13.5nm！

Heh, the idea is quite beautiful, EUV13.5nm photoresist is used to make chips with a process below 7nm, and now 40nm has not been fully understood...

Raw materials are imported, manufacturing tools such as lithography machines are stuck, raw materials such as photoresist are stuck, and patented technologies are also stuck.

The neck is tired, and the neck wants to ask if there is anyone who will let me go, no matter how bad it is, it's okay to take a breath.

But the answer is no - either go crazy and live, or lie down and die.

Aliya turned to the last page, didn't read it, but looked up at Yu Dapao.

"Before, you used your own money to do it?"

"……Correct."

"Do you know how your stuff makes me feel?"

"do not know."

"First, if you invest your own money, don't come."

Aliya raised her finger: "Second, a single page—or a single item on your page—is less than 5000 million, don't come."

Mr. Meng clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Yes!"

"Third, don't come if you don't have cash."

"...Miss Ai, what we need now is cash."
