As the event ended, more detailed news was released by major media outlets. Compared with the previous on-site news, the official press release released now is much more detailed. The major media have different focuses, but they all focus on the first purely domestic 5-nanometer EUV lithography machine with independent intellectual property rights.
In addition, everyone's focus varies, but many of them focus on Wu Hao. Especially the news revealed by Wu Hao has become a topic that everyone is excited to talk about.
For example, Wu Hao revealed that their upcoming summer new product & technology launch conference will soon be put into clinical use for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, and everyone present was shocked by their computing power, which is much higher than that of traditional supercomputers. The new generation of super photonic computers, as well as the photonic chips that Wu Hao briefly introduced, etc.
These news not only attract the attention of everyone interested in science and technology, but also arouse the concern of the general public.
For the general public, the first thing that caused the most sensation or excitement was naturally the photolithography machine. You must know that the problems of lithography machines getting stuck and being suppressed because of the lack of lithography machines have been irritating the hearts of all people in recent years. Everyone is holding back their energy, hoping that our domestically produced advanced process lithography machines can be developed to break the Western monopoly.
However, the huge gap in reality makes many people shake their heads. The advanced EUV lithography machines in the West have concentrated the most cutting-edge technological levels of more than a dozen countries, resulting in the most advanced industrial technology on the planet today. It can be said that it is currently the most advanced EUV lithography machine. The pinnacle of technology in the human world.
As for us, we have relied on imports for a long time in the past, so our country's foundation in the field of photolithography machine technology is weak, and it is still far behind the international advanced level.
Moreover, in the field of lithography machine technology, we have been suffering from strict blockade by the West, which prevents us from accessing the most advanced products and technologies. Moreover, there are still some oligarchic companies in the West that are still targeting and destroying our domestic lithography machines and the industrial technology research and development industries related to lithography machines.
This has also led to our domestic difficulties in starting to re-research and develop lithography machines and the development of lithography machines and chip manufacturing industries. On the one hand, we have to face the weak domestic lithography machines and chip manufacturing industries. Basically everything has failed. To start over, it is equivalent to developing an entire industrial system, and it is equivalent to using the strength of the whole country. You can imagine how difficult it is.
In addition, we must also break through the technological blockade and related targeting and suppression from overseas, especially in terms of intellectual property rights. How to bypass the other party's relevant patented technology and how to break through the other party's technical blockade are also important issues they have to face.
Therefore, over the years, there have been reports of revitalizing the domestic chip manufacturing industry and the need to develop and manufacture domestic lithography machines, but in the end they all came to nothing. There were even cash-out scandals related to core manufacturing, etc. Other than that, there was no good news.
When will our domestic EUV lithography machine be developed? This has become the eager expectation of all Chinese people. Even this goal has been listed as an important national development goal, which is really a nationwide effort to develop this industry.
Previously, Wu Hao and his eight companies, together with Shanghai Microelectronics Research Institute, announced that they would jointly invest 100 billion to develop their own lithography machines and chip manufacturing industries. In fact, no one took it seriously.
In everyone's opinion, there has been a lot of news like this in recent years, and from time to time there is news that a certain company has announced its entry into the chip R&D and manufacturing industry. Although Wu Hao and the others have a large formation, with eight companies and one research institute, that's all.
But I didn't expect that in just a short period of time, Wu Hao and the others had already developed a photolithography machine and showed it to everyone.
Although it is separated by a layer of glass, through the videos and photos taken on site, everyone can still clearly see the lithography machine in the glass room.
For many people, it seems that this is nothing special, just a rectangular device shaped like a container. If it weren't for the several screens and consoles on it, many people would think it was just an empty shell.
But it is such a cuboid device that does not look very special, but it has troubled the domestic industry for more than ten or even decades. This rectangular box looks simple, but it contains various advanced equipment components that can be said to bring together the world's most advanced technologies.
From this aspect, it is one of the most advanced technological products and equipment in the country. This has also made many people wonder why the entire industrial system has not been developed after spending hundreds of billions or even trillions, and why Wu Hao and his eight companies plus one research institute succeeded in such a short period of time.
While these people were sighing, a group of people started to complain about physical problems, laymen leading experts, and so on.
But for Wu Hao and others, their achievements today are inseparable from the support and help of the state, as well as the progress and development of the entire industry. It is precisely with such a solid foundation that they can make rapid progress.
In fact, even if their EUV lithography machine has not been developed, it will not take long. As long as the domestic extreme ultraviolet light source and lens group technology have breakthroughs, it will be available in the near future.
Wu Hao and the others were just a few years ahead. From this aspect, Wu Hao still felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had studied hard for so long and put in so much effort, but in the end they took advantage of it.
Of course, looking at the overall situation, the lithography machines they developed are also domestically produced, but they are actually the same. Moreover, with the promotion of their technology, they can be launched a few years ahead of schedule, which will have a huge promotion effect on the entire lithography machine industry and even the entire chip industry.
Although it is somewhat unfair to these people, it is correct overall. It is impossible for the entire industry, or even the country, to stop waiting for these people because of their grievances. This is impossible. Individuals must always obey the whole and serve the country.
As for the grievances of these people, they can only be compensated for later. In fact, most of the components on this photolithography machine are purchased from major domestic companies and factories in the photolithography machine-related industries. Because the technical standards are relatively high, the procurement cost has therefore increased. For these companies, this is a big deal that has made them salivate. Being able to win it means that their company will make a lot of money in the next few years.
