It is worth mentioning that most of the maximum US$27 billion was used to acquire semiconductor equipment companies, and the actual funds used for research and development should not exceed 15 billion yuan!
As a result, in less than two years, Sugon R&D Center actually relied on its own company's financial strength to catch up with the world's R&D progress and successfully developed a complete set of 90-nanometer chip production equipment!
The more you know, the more shocked you will be, and the more you will understand what a terrifying fact this represents!
So it’s no wonder that several CEOs were so horrified, so surprised, so unbelievable, and even doubted whether Sugon R&D Center was faking it!
But at this time, Lin Chen ignored people's surprise and shock. When the reporters at the scene reacted and clicked their cameras, Lin Chen continued:
“Last year on January 20, 2004, we initiated the project to develop a lithography machine. As of mid-May this year, we had officially completed the development of a fifth-generation immersion lithography machine capable of producing 90-nanometer chips.
In the end, it took more than half a month to cooperate with other domestic chip production equipment to produce the first 90-nanometer mobile phone chip. The whole process took a year and five months!
It can only be said that the lithography machine is truly the pearl of industrial civilization. It is indeed difficult to develop this thing. Some of the problems even cause headaches for many of our academicians, who believe that it will be difficult to achieve a breakthrough in the short term.
But in the end, we stumbled and overcame many problems, and it took us one year and five months to successfully break the foreign technology blockade and produce the fifth-generation immersion lithography machine with all independent intellectual property rights. "
Below the stage, reporters and guests who heard Lin Chen's words also nodded lightly.
Since the lithography machine is so famous, the development of this thing must be very difficult. Although they don't know exactly how difficult it is, they know that it is difficult to develop a lithography machine.
At this time, Lin Chen, who was in the center of the stage, then spoke:
"Of course, encountering problems is not entirely a bad thing, because when we encounter problems, we need to solve them. In the process of solving problems, we also make up for the weaknesses of Daxia's technology.
For example, the field of high-end metal materials has achieved major breakthroughs because of the photolithography machine project!
We have many journalists from Daxia on site. I wonder if you still remember Academician Lu Ke and the surface nanotechnology of metal materials he developed? "
Hearing Lin Chen's words, a middle-aged Daxia reporter at the scene slowly raised his hand and spoke after receiving permission:
“We naturally know that Academician Lu Ke was awarded the title of Academician of Daxia in 2003 based on his two major research and development achievements, nano-twinned copper technology and metal material surface nanotechnology.
Mr. Lin Chen, I heard you just mentioned the surface nanotechnology of metal materials. Have you successfully solved the problem of large-scale mass production of surface nanotechnology of metal materials? "
Hearing the question from the middle-aged Daxia reporter, Lin Chen smiled and nodded, and then said proudly:
"Yes, we have indeed successfully overcome the problem of large-scale mass production of metal material surface nanotechnology, so that this magical technology no longer just stays in the laboratory, but is truly applied in industry and life. .
From now on, many of our high-end metal materials will no longer have to spend huge amounts of money to import, although the overall quality of our domestically produced metal materials is not as good as other people's high-end metal materials.
However, with the help of metal material surface nanotechnology that allows metal materials to have stronger surface hardness, wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, the overall performance of domestic metal materials can eventually compete with many imported high-end metal materials.
It can be said that this item alone can reduce the import of high-end metal materials in Daxia by tens of billions of dollars!
Therefore, in the process of developing lithography machines, we not only developed lithography machines, but also made many technological breakthroughs in the process of solving problems. "
"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah, pah..."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, people at the scene applauded. They were amazed by the amazing achievements of the lithography machine research and development team.
After all, new materials and new technologies are invented every year around the world, and almost all of these new materials and new technologies have extraordinary advantages.
Theoretically, if humans can mass-produce and apply these newly discovered new materials and new technologies, then the level of human science and technology will increase by several orders of magnitude.
But unfortunately, although new materials and new technologies are discovered every year, in fact, almost all of those new materials and new technologies have one characteristic, which is that they can only be manufactured in the laboratory!
For example, after graphene was discovered by humans in 2004 last year, humans discovered that graphene has extraordinary properties in various fields.
But in the end, graphene, like other newly discovered materials, can only stay in the laboratory. It has encountered huge difficulties in large-scale mass production and application in industry and life.
The surface nanotechnology of metal materials invented by Academician Lu Ke obviously also encountered such problems.
There is no problem in small-scale experiments in the laboratory, but if you really want to apply it to human industry and life, you encounter huge problems.
At this time, the lithography machine R&D team has successfully transformed such a superb technology as surface nanotechnology of metal materials from theory into practice.
Its significance is even more important than the invention of surface nanotechnology for metal materials. After all, inventing such a technology is nothing, but whether it can be applied to industry and life is the most important.
After all, what is the use of creating a new material the size of a hair that can only be produced in the laboratory at huge cost?
So at this time, people are applauding the lithography machine R&D team, applauding the lithography machine R&D team for successfully integrating a magical black technology into future industry and life, and applauding for the further strength of human civilization.
In response, the warm applause lasted for half a minute. After the applause stopped for a while, Lin Chen continued:
“In fact, in addition to the successful mass production of metal material surface nanotechnology, there are also other materials and technologies that have achieved huge breakthroughs.
For example, photolithography machines require high-performance glass, such as ultra-secret glass processing technology, and photolithography machines use other metal materials or linear motor technology.
Of course, in addition to this, there is actually another breakthrough that must be mentioned. The significance of this breakthrough is not much worse than the formal mass production of metal material surface nanotechnology. "
Hearing what Lin Chen said, the thousands of reporters and guests at the scene all showed curious eyes.
They already know the importance of metal material surface nanotechnology and the significance of large-scale mass production.
Through this magical black technology, it can enable metal materials to obtain super wear resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, increased surface hardness and other advantages, which can be said to turn decay into magic.
But at this time, Lin Chen mentioned that the importance and significance of a breakthrough in something is not much weaker than the surface nanotechnology of metal materials. I wonder what this thing is?
