They didn't know who Professor Xu Duangu was before, but now they found out that there was such a great man in Daxia, and that this great man was the core figure in the development of lithography machines. This was really touching.
However, there were also many reporters and guests at the scene who were curious about Professor Xu Duangu, who was clearly engaged in photolithography machines, but ended up being related to optical discs.
Many of the reporters are planning to spend some time collecting information about Professor Xu Duangu after this press conference, hoping to see if they can interview any big news.
Of course, these are things for the future. At this time, there is more important news to cover, so they all focused their attention on Dean Lu.
In this regard, Dean Lu did not keep the reporters waiting for a long time. He paused briefly and then continued:
“Considering that Professor Xu Duangu has decades of experience in lithography machine research and development and optical technology, the head of the research and development team for this fifth-generation immersion lithography machine technology is Professor Xu Duangu.
Of course, in addition to being the head of the lithography machine R&D team, Professor Xu Duangu is also actually responsible for the design and development of the optical lens system of the lithography machine. "
Hearing this, the reporters and guests present applauded.
Professor Xu Duangu has decades of experience in the research and development of lithography machines, and has also successfully developed two lithography machines that broke the foreign technology blockade.
At this time, Professor Xu Duangu, as the head of the lithography machine R&D team, naturally no one would question it. As for the design of the optical lens system, reporters believed that Professor Yu Gu would definitely be qualified.
After all, optical disc technology is related to optics. Professor Xu Duangu is responsible for the design of the optical lens system of the lithography machine. It should be no problem.
However, many people are also curious at this time. It stands to reason that two generations of lithography machines have been developed to break the foreign technology blockade.
Why has Professor Xu Duangu, who also developed "color multi-level storage technology" and successfully won Daxia's highest scientific award, not been named an academician yet?
But at this time, Dean Lu ignored people's doubts and directly introduced the next R&D boss:
"The next person I want to introduce is an expert in inorganic non-metallic materials, Academician Gu An of the Daxia Academy of Engineering. Academician Gu An is best at the research of special glass and optical fiber.
Therefore, Academician Gu An is mainly responsible for the research and development of optical glass materials for photolithography machines. "
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah..."
When the introductions were completed, the reporters on the scene didn't know who Academician Gu An was, and they didn't know much about him before.
But considering Academician Gu An's academician title, it is conceivable that he must be a respected scientific research leader, so they still applauded politely.
In response, Academician Gu An also gently nodded and waved to say hello to the reporters.
Seeing this, Dean Lu introduced the last academician:
"The next person I want to introduce is Academician Guo Ling. Academician Guo Ling is one of the few academicians who can win the title of academician twice in physics and mathematics.
This time Academician Guo Ling is responsible for the mathematics and physics of lithography machines. "
Hearing this, the reporters and guests at the scene naturally nodded and responded with warm applause.
At this time, many guests and reporters at the scene saw the powerful scene of the R&D team, and they all lamented that the lithography machine really has great possibilities this time. After all, the R&D team this time is really strong.
There is Academician Lu Ke for metal materials, Academician Guo Ling for mathematics and physics, and Academician Gu An for optical glass.
In terms of the person in charge of the lithography machine, there is also Professor Xu Duangu, the father of the lithography machine, and then there is the all-round wizard Lin Chen and hundreds of graduate students, doctors, and postdocs...
In the end, there was another 3 billion in funds that could be used at will. Faced with this situation, reporters on the scene already felt that the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine seemed to be a sure thing.
Of course, although they know the relevant list and general information of the R&D team, there is still an important issue that reporters do not know.
At this moment, a foreign reporter slowly raised his hand and looked at the trademark on his microphone. He was clearly a reporter from Huanqiu Daily.
"Excuse me, Mr. Reporter."
At this time, Dean Lu said something gentle to the reporter from Huanqiu Daily.
Seeing this, the Huanqiu Daily reporter slowly put down his hand, then stared at Dean Lu with a burning gaze and asked:
"Hello, Dean Lu, when will the development of your fifth-generation immersion lithography machine be completed? Do you have an approximate time?"
Facing the question from the Huanqiu Daily reporter, Dean Lu glanced at Lin Chen, and after receiving a gentle nod from Lin Chen, he slowly replied:
“The completion of research and development is mainly divided into two steps, as I mentioned before, the two process technologies of 90 nanometers and 60 nanometers.
The first to be launched should be the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine at the 90-nanometer process level. This fifth-generation immersion lithography machine is expected to be launched before the end of 2004.
As for the 65nm process technology, we expect the launch time to be before the end of 2005.
In other words, we plan to use one year to reach 90 nanometers, and then two years to advance the lithography machine to the 65 nanometer level. "
"Click, click, click, click, click, click..."
The reporters who heard Dean Lu's words quickly pressed the camera buttons in their hands, and the reporters holding notebooks also quickly wrote down the key news points.
But at this time, a reporter from the island country slowly raised his hand. It was a reporter from Tokyo i Daily. After getting permission, the reporter from Tokyo i Daily asked:
"After the development of the fifth generation immersion lithography machine with the highest 65nm process technology is completed, will you develop more advanced lithography machines?"
Facing the question from the reporter from the island nation, Dean Lu smiled and said:
"Theoretically, research and development will continue, but no one can tell what will happen in the future."
Seeing this, the reporters at the scene pressed the camera button with some regret, while the reporter holding a pen took down Dean Lu's words.
At this point, the press conference is almost here.
After Lin Chen, Dean Lu and even several academicians and Professor Xu Duangu answered the reporters' questions, the press conference ended quickly.
The reporters also left quickly, and not long afterward, news related to this press conference quickly appeared in domestic and foreign technology and economic newspapers and media.
"Shuguang Technology spends 3 billion a year to develop lithography machines!"
This is the news headline from Penguin Portal.
"The rise of domestic lithography machines! Our country may completely solve the problem of lithography machines!"
This is the news headline from the New Wolf Portal!
"Can Sugon Technology really afford 3 billion lithography machine R&D funds a year?"
This is the news headline on the NetiEase website.
"With 3 billion R&D funds, three academicians and hundreds of senior R&D personnel joining us, can domestic lithography machines solve the problem?"
This is the news headline on the Naanhu portal.
