A few more hours passed before I knew it.
"There is really too much technical information on this lithography machine. Even if I keep working on it non-stop, I have completely mastered the theory, but the number of lithography machines is not enough. Everything is empty talk. It cannot meet the standards of mass production." Ye Chen stopped. Stop what you are doing and think slowly.
While thinking about it, Ye Chen dialed Hua Gong's phone number: "How many lithography machines do we have currently?"
"Is Ye Gong worried about the photolithography machine?" There are indeed not many photolithography machines, which has always been a bottleneck. "While talking, Hua Gong helped Mr. Bai walk into Ye Chen's office.
"The first step in producing chips is the photolithography machine. Although we now have some photolithography machines, if we want to mass-produce them, we still need OEMs from the island province." Hua Gong said with a hint of disappointment.
Hua Gong continued to hold his eyes and said:
"If the island province stops supply, we will face a shortage of chip production capacity. However, the technology for producing photolithography machines worldwide is now controlled by ASML in the windmill country."
"We have also thought about reverse engineering the lithography machine, but the technical experts from Windmill Country seem to be aware of this. In order to prevent us from copying the lithography machine, the hardware and software have been encrypted. We really can't break through the lithography machine. technology."
When Ye Chen heard this, he remembered the lithography machine technology that the system had input to him yesterday, and he instantly had an idea:
"If we want to mass-produce chips, we must first mass-produce photolithography machines. If we can do it, can a small photolithography machine still stump our Dragon Kingdom?"
"Do you already have a plan?" Hua Gong and Bai Lao looked at Ye Chen, their eyes full of light.
Indeed, Ye Chen already has a brand-new solution that perfectly avoids all patents and can be mass-produced.
Ye Chen turned on the computer and introduced to Hua Gong: "The reason why ASML's photolithography machine is so small is because it will be sold all over the world. If it gets bigger, it will have a big impact on transportation. In our Dragon Kingdom, The most indispensable thing is raw materials and land, we can build a photolithography factory!"
"What is a photolithography factory?" Hua Gong and Bai Lao asked in unison.
"The photolithography factory is to scale up the photolithography machine. The core of the photolithography machine is how to accurately determine the wavelength of light. Currently, if we want to make a 1nm chip, we must find the 1nm we need in this full waveform of light. wavelength of light.”
The more Ye Chen talked, the more excited he became, as if the chips could be mass-produced tomorrow.
"ASML's technology can quickly find the right wavelength in the full waveform of light. Although we have not yet reached this technology, we can lengthen the path of the light and allow the light to rotate and reflect infinitely in the ring accelerator. We We can find the light of the wavelength we need at the corresponding position of the ring accelerator, and then connect it to the etching part of the lithography machine, and we can produce high-, medium-, and low-end chips at the same time."
Hua Gong and Bai Lao were shocked after hearing this. This theory was actually said by a young man in his twenties.
"If the theory you mentioned is feasible, I will immediately ask my superiors for instructions to build a photolithography factory." Hua Gong said with bright eyes.
Building a photolithography factory cannot be built overnight, and Ye Chen can't help but be a little worried about this.
"I think we should hold an urgent meeting to discuss it together," Bai Laowang said to Ye Chen.
"Okay, I just want to listen to everyone's opinions and see if there are any good suggestions."
Ye Chen understood that although this theory made sense, it was not easy to implement it in practice.
Night is gradually falling, and the setting sun is halfway up in the west, burning the clouds red, but at the same time, Hua Wei's office building is brightly lit.
"I agree with Ye Gong's photolithography factory plan!"
"I agree too! This technology does perfectly solve our current predicament, but..."
"Are you worried that the speed of building the factory will be too slow?" A technician interrupted the former and expressed his concerns.
"Well, I do have this concern. Our current technology is already very backward. If we build a factory, we may be overtaken!"
"What everyone said makes sense. The speed of building factories is indeed slower than the speed of building lithography machines. But don't worry, I already have a plan."
Ye Chen connected the computer to the big screen, pointed the laser pointer at the picture on the big screen, and said:
"Look, the principle of this particle accelerator in the picture must be familiar to everyone here. Its principle is similar to the photolithography machine technology we need. Now our chip process in Longguo has not fully manufactured the chip. In order to prevent other countries from seeing our jokes, we can first transform the particle accelerators across the country into photolithography factories, so that each particle accelerator can be connected to 100 photolithography units. Robotic arm, so that our production capacity can be greatly increased."
"As production capacity increases, so does the yield rate. The rise of Longguo's chip industry is just around the corner!"
"Ye Gong, don't worry, have you forgotten what another title our Dragon Kingdom has?"
"Infrastructure madman!" the whole audience said in unison.
"Hahaha~" Everyone couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of their hearts when they heard this.
Academician Xu Yunwei, head of chip development at Huawei, said to Ye Chen: "Your idea is very good! You don't have to worry about building the factory. I will report it to the superiors. You just need to control the theory and technology."
Ye Chen's eyes were full of light and he looked at Academician Xu firmly
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
"Everyone should pay close attention to the work at hand. The future of Longguo Chip depends on us."
Academician Xu did not forget to say this to everyone before leaving.
Unknowingly, he was busy late at night again. After these days of work, Ye Chen's body was already a little tired.
Ye Chen returned to the arranged residence, flipped up his phone, and suddenly found the contact number that Zhao Dong'er left for him two days ago. He wanted to call it, but now he had a confidentiality agreement, and he still couldn't contact him without permission, so he turned off his phone. He quickly took a rest.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen came to the office early and devoted himself to intense work.
After 10 days in a row, Huawei's lithography machine technology has been completely sorted out, and it's time to summarize.
But now everyone has been working continuously for a long time, and their energy is no longer as good as before. Ye Chen also saw everyone's fatigue and thought: "It's not a solution if we continue like this until we are exhausted. Let's see if we can apply for a group of people to support us. "
Ye Chen then dialed Academician Xu’s phone number:
"Academician Xu, you see, some of our comrades have been working continuously for a long time, and their energy is not as good as before. They are already a little tired. Can you bring in a new group of comrades so that we can rotate the work and be more efficient. "
"Gong Ye, don't worry. I've also thought of this. Dragon Kingdom's chip progress is important, but our Dragon Kingdom is still people-centered. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can we have a better country. Only by developing the chip industry can we have a better country." significance."
"Academician Xu was very considerate. Ye Chen would like to thank you."
"My new batch of applicants will arrive this afternoon. Please don't worry, Mr. Ye."
