However, when the four major portal websites and major news newspapers reported that Sugon Technology and Xia Ke Academy were cooperating to develop lithography machines.
As the strongest news promotion channel in Daxia, TTCV Xinwen Lianbo also spent more than thirty seconds reporting this incident.
"According to our reporter... Sugon Technology and Xia Ke Academy held a joint press conference and announced that they will spend 3 billion Xia Yuan every year on the research and development of the fifth generation immersion lithography machine..."
It can only be said that TTCV is indeed TTCV. Its news propaganda ability is quite powerful and quite terrifying.
Many people didn't know about this before, but now after the relevant news was broadcast on TTCV's Xinwen Lianbo.
At least one-third of the people in Daxia know that Sugon Technology spends 3 billion a year to develop lithography machines!
I also learned about Sugon Technology’s cooperation with Xia Ke Academy, and then Xia Ke Academy dispatched several academicians, professors and hundreds of R&D personnel.
Faced with such huge funds and such a strong R&D team, many people in China are quite confident about whether lithography machines can be put into practice.
They even began to expect that the joint R&D team of Sugon Technology and Xia Ke Academy could quickly develop a lithography machine, break the foreign technology blockade as soon as possible, and allow Daxia to use 90-nanometer mobile phone chips as soon as possible.
So at this time, the people in China applauded Sugon Technology's cooperation with Xia Ke Academy and then spent 3 billion to develop lithography machines.
They praised Lin Chen and Shuguang Technology for doing a good job, claiming that Shuguang Technology is a truly responsible and responsible national enterprise.
It's not like a certain company that only wants to make money and has no intention of allocating funds to develop core technologies to break the foreign technology blockade.
That enterprise can be called a national enterprise is simply an insult to the term national enterprise.
At this time, I saw that Sugon Technology did not think about enjoyment after making money, but spent a large amount of profit funds to develop lithography machines, completely breaking the blockade of foreign lithography machines. How could this not make the people of Daxia applaud.
It can be said that after this incident, after this round of TTCV news and reports from domestic newspapers, television stations and even Internet media.
At this time, the image of Shuguang Technology in the eyes of the people of Daxia has been infinitely improved. People have called companies like Shuguang Technology a true national enterprise, a national enterprise that asks for orders for the country, and a proud enterprise of the nation. !
If Lin Chen came to the streets of Daxia at this time, he would find that when people talk about Sugon Technology, they are full of praise and support.
When many people talk about Sugon Technology, they also directly say that if they want to buy a mobile phone in the future, they will definitely give priority to mobile phones from Sugon Technology and Sugon Technology's subsidiary Mi Mobile.
Therefore, at this time, Shuguang Technology's reputation in Daxia is unprecedentedly high, and it truly has a group of die-hard fans.
Relying on its lofty prestige and the brand of a national enterprise at this time, the products launched by Shuguang Technology in the future will be of average technical quality.
But with the high reputation and the brand of a national enterprise, the people of Daxia will definitely give priority to purchasing Sugon Technology's products!
This is the intangible benefit!
This intangible benefit is not only present now, but will also generate a steady stream of benefits in the distant future.
Of course, while the media and people in Daxia are full of support and applause for Sugon Technology, public opinion overseas is not so good.
"Is it enough for Daxia to spend US$360 million to develop photolithography machines?"
This is the headline of the US Silicon Valley Daily.
In this article, they mainly discuss whether Sugon Technology's US$360 million is enough to develop a fifth-generation immersion lithography machine.
In the end, this Silicon Valley Daily article concluded that a mere US$360 million is completely insufficient to develop a fifth-generation immersion lithography machine.
If you want to successfully conquer the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine, you must be prepared to spend at least three or four years burning billions of dollars, and Shuguang Technology will never be able to come up with this money!
This is a quite professional analysis article.
By analyzing the R&D funds and scale of ASML and TSMC's fifth-generation immersion lithography machines from various angles, we can roughly estimate the cost of bypassing patent barriers, etc.
We directly used detailed data to infer how much money it would cost to acquire a fifth-generation immersion lithography machine, how much time it would take in total, etc.
Under this article, many overseas readers also know the relevant information about the fifth generation immersion lithography machine.
In my heart, I am not optimistic about the "adventurous behavior" of Sugon Technology and Xia Ke Academy. They want to develop a fifth-generation immersion lithography machine for only 360 million US dollars. This is simply a joke.
So after people who read this article learned how difficult it is to develop the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine, they were not optimistic or even disdainful about the development of the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine by Sugon Technology and Xia Ke Academy. .
At the same time, when Silicon Valley Daily reported the relevant news, the heads of other semiconductor industries around the world also expressed their opinions on this matter.
For example, Wen Kening, the head of Asmax, which is not yet a super lithography machine giant but will become a super lithography machine giant in the future, directly and publicly mocked Sugon Technology for having absolutely no chance of successful research and development.
Wen Kening, the head of ASML, claimed that the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine cannot be obtained with a mere US$350 million in R&D funding a year.
If it was still possible before ASML launched the immersion lithography machine, but now after ASML launches the immersion lithography machine, the difficulty of developing the fifth generation immersion lithography machine has increased. several times.
Because Daxia's lithography machine R&D team needs to spend more energy and cost to bypass ASML's technology patent wall, the cost will be much higher than before.
In this case, Wen Kening directly claimed sarcastically that "given ten years to the Daxia lithography machine team, they will not be able to acquire the fifth generation immersion lithography machine technology!"
He also claimed that the Daxia lithography machine team was destined to do useless work, and advised Sugon Technology to give up early to avoid spending billions of dollars with no results.
Of course, Wen Kening, the head of ASML, also took the opportunity to promote the world's first immersion lithography machine, TWINSCANAT:1150i.
It claims that ASML's lithography machines are the best in the world and welcomes global semiconductor manufacturers to purchase ASML's lithography machines.
In this regard, these sales pitches were naturally ignored by reporters.
So soon, when the interview of Wen Kening, the head of ASML, was published by a reporter and reprinted back to Daxia, it directly caused an uproar in Daxia.
ASML actually looked down on Daxia, believing that Daxia would not be able to produce a fifth-generation lithography machine within ten years. This contemptuous attitude naturally caused a sea of anger.
Amid this anger, ASML was naturally scolded domestically, but unfortunately this had little impact on ASML.
Because ASML sells photolithography machines, these photolithography machines are sold directly to chip manufacturers and will not be affected by outside public opinion. (End of chapter)
