"I didn't expect that Sugon Technology would really spend 11.8 billion to buy a chip factory. This is too efficient."
The person speaking at this time was a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was responsible for managing the chip packaging and testing production line.
In response, a middle-aged man in his thirties at the scene curled his lips, and then said helplessly:
"Yes, high efficiency is also an advantage of private enterprises. Unlike when we had the 9008 project, which took 5 years just to get the approval, plus two years to build the factory, the 7 years were gone.
By the time our factory officially went into mass production, the manufacturing process was already several generations behind, and we could only produce some old chips.
In the end, not only 2 billion yuan was wasted, but also a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, making us unable to move up and down now, alas. "
It’s no wonder that these middle-aged people in their thirties complained like this. It’s true that when Project 9008 was officially put into mass production, it really couldn’t keep up with the times.
We can only produce some old microcontroller chips and bank card IC chips, trying to make some hard money.
For the engineers and R&D backbones in the factory, this is undoubtedly a waste of life.
And because they don’t have funds, they can’t do anything big even if they want to make a comeback. In the end, they can only just lay back and raise fish here.
Learn civil and martial arts well and sell them to the emperor's family.
They have studied hard for many years in order to realize the dream of making Daxia Chip rise. In reality, they are doing some repetitive and unchallenging work here and producing some backward chips. It can be said that how can they endure lying down and raising fish all day long? Come on?
Therefore, many people over the years have been unable to bear the loneliness of this gradual decline, and eventually they have been transferred to other units by opening up connections above.
For example, Hua Hongli, the officer who went to the 9009 project, either went directly to the sea and gave up his iron job and went to Zhongxin International to contribute to Zhongxin International.
Of course, many of them are reluctant to lose their iron rice bowl. After all, the establishment of an iron rice bowl that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods was their biggest goal when they were studying.
Moreover, the future of working in the sea is unknown, and if you lose your iron job, you will never come back, so those with connections, connections or money are transferred to the 9009 project.
Those who had no ability, money and connections either went overseas, or had no choice but to stay in the Huajing factory of the 9008 project, and the same was true for other state-owned chip factories established in the early stage.
Therefore, Sugon Technology is currently short of people, but in fact there are still many semiconductor talents in Daxia.
If Sugon Technology really wants to search, it can still find experienced skilled workers and chip production engineers in the chip production industry.
Although they are only good at chip production with backward process technologies such as 1000 nanometer, 500 nanometer, 350 nanometer and so on.
But this is much better than those fresh graduates who just follow the textbooks and actually need to learn everything. They are also the core talents that Lin Chen needs.
Moreover, after they joined Sugon Technology, their learning speed increased by 15%, so they wanted to learn new knowledge very quickly.
Finally, coupled with their many years of experience, they will soon become the core backbone of Sugon's chip factory. It can be said that they are exactly the core talents Sugon Technology needs.
At this time, the thin middle-aged man wearing glasses who was the first to speak turned to look at another bald man, who looked like a middle-aged man in his fifties and said jokingly:
"Old Chen, I see that Sugon Technology is recruiting people. You are responsible for improving the chip yield rate. I think it is just right for you to go."
Facing the man's ridicule, the bald middle-aged man named Lao Chen, who looked to be in his fifties, waved his hand, and then said helplessly:
"Everyone lives the same life wherever they go. Sugon Technology is just a private company. Wait until they see the terrifying rate of money burning in the chip foundry industry.
It will take less than a year for it to deteriorate, and in the end no matter how good the treatment is, it will only be a mirror image.
Moreover, although Huajing of our 9008 project will probably be like this in his lifetime, his level of attention and financial support will never be as high as that of Huahong of project 9009.
But working here in Huajing is better than being stable. Although there is no big profit in OEMing low-end microcontrollers and IC chips, there is no problem in continuing to build low-end microcontrollers for another twenty years, so we can retire here. "
At this time, although the bald old Chen was saying something like lying down and going with the flow, there was actually a trace of unwillingness deep in his eyes.
Although he had no choice but to accept the reality, he actually still had a dream deep in his heart, dreaming that Daxia's chip industry would not lag behind that of the United States.
But the dream is beautiful. After being hit too many times, he has learned to recognize the reality, and finally lives blindly with the flow.
In response, the thin middle-aged man wearing glasses put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully:
“Aren’t you optimistic that Sugon Technology can survive?
That's right. Unless Sugon Technology can solve the 130nm yield problem, what awaits Sugon Technology is a complete failure. "
In response to this, the middle-aged man in his thirties who had complained a lot before said:
“Indeed, if Sugon Technology can show the possibility of their survival, then I might apply for the job.
After all, they have successfully developed a domestic mobile phone operating system and a domestic high-end mobile phone chip with independent intellectual property rights. This company has broken many impossibilities since its birth.
To be honest, I was a little excited when faced with their recruitment. After all, it is really possible for them to realize their dream of making Daxia's chip industry not inferior to that of the United States.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. The 130nm yield rate is not that easy to overcome. It is estimated that Sugon Technology will not be able to survive for at least one year and give up the chip production business. "
Hearing this, the scene also fell into silence, silent because Sugon Technology was destined to fail in the future.
After all, as practitioners in chip production, they know how difficult it is to solve the chip yield problem.
At this time, Sugon Technology, as a newbie, wants to solve the problem of 130 nanometer yield rate. It will need at least two consecutive years of losses before it can turn a profit.
At this time, the bald middle-aged old Chen sighed helplessly:
"Alas, why is it so difficult for the chip industry in Daxia to rise.
Just a yield rate can give us such a headache. Later, we will also independently develop high-end photolithography machines, etching machines, ion implanters, vapor phase epitaxial furnaces, chip inspection equipment...
The chip industry in our country is lagging behind everywhere. If the chip industry really wants to rise without being restricted by overseas countries, I think it is absolutely impossible for the chip industry to invest less than 100 billion US dollars a year. "
Hearing this, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
What the bald middle-aged old Chen said is indeed a fact. Not to mention that Zhongxin International seems to have achieved good results and has become the third largest chip foundry in the world.
But in the eyes of people in the semiconductor industry, Zhongxin International is actually just a joke!
