At about 16:00 that afternoon, Fang Hong returned to Huayang Villa for meditation.

The next major layout is the semiconductor field. It is no exaggeration to say that the current domestic semiconductor industry is lagging behind in all aspects, and not only one of them has settled in it.

To complete the assembly of the entire territory and make a difference in the field of high-end physical manufacturing with high added value, the semiconductor industry is an unavoidable link.

Under the current situation where the domestic semiconductor industry is lagging behind in all aspects, it is definitely too late to be late, but it is never too late to catch up and enter the market. The sooner, the better.

Fang Hong had the foresight to understand the technological war that would take place in the United States in the next ten years.

Therefore, semiconductors must either not be developed, or the entire industry chain must be engaged. Otherwise, if you fail to control a link independently, and this link suddenly gets stuck in your neck, the entire industry chain will be shut down.

This is the nature of the semiconductor industry.

Fang Hong estimated that the current funding situation of Qunxing Capital could indeed be started. This matter would not be achieved overnight, but the first step could be taken. The conditions for a start-up were already in place.

Qunxing Capital's current investment in overseas markets has a net worth of more than 8.8 billion U.S. dollars after excluding leveraged funds, equivalent to more than 60 billion yuan. Its investment in the domestic A-share market has a net worth of more than 45 billion yuan excluding leveraged funds.

In other words, assuming that Qunxing Capital now cashes out all its stock assets, it can purchase more than 100 billion in liquid cash.

However, if we want to build a fully autonomous semiconductor industry chain, let alone 100 billion, I am afraid that even if we increase it several times, we may not be able to realize this grand vision.

Although the amount of capital support required is astronomical, and the time period is also very long, it does not affect starting now. The money is not poured in all at once. In the initial stage, one or two tens of billions are invested to set up the frame.

At present, the global semiconductor process technology has broken through to the 45-nanometer level, and domestic semiconductors are 18 miles behind the current world's top level.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to catch up step by step even if you are so far behind.

Fang Hong got out of the car and walked into the villa while thinking about laying out semiconductors.

Entering the house, Fang Hong saw a strange and beautiful girl with good looks and figure doing cleaning work in the living room. This was not the key. The key was that she was wearing a blue maid uniform and knee-length white silk stockings.

This scene also made Fang Hong stunned for a long time when he first saw it, and the idea of ​​​​laying out the semiconductor industry that he was thinking about was interrupted.

Housekeeper Yu Qiu happened to arrive in the living room at this time. When he saw Fang Hong, he was surprised for a moment and then said with a smile: "Brother Hong is back?"

Yu Qiu turned to look at the girl in maid uniform who was cleaning the living room and signaled her to stop. Fang Hong glanced at the girl in maid costume who was walking towards her. Yu Qiu then smiled and said: "Brother Hong, this is Yin Fulei. I just recently recruited a female domestic worker.

Yin Fulei was surprised when she saw her employer so young and handsome for the first time, but she did not forget to wave and said hello with a smile: "Brother Hong!"

Fang Hong nodded, and Yin Fulei looked up and down and asked curiously: "Is this...your work clothes?"

At this time, Yin Fulei couldn't help but feel a little shy when she saw Fang Hong scanning her body unabashedly. Yu Qiu, who was standing next to her, was also embarrassed, but she still explained: "This is Xuanxuan's gift to the housekeeper." Customized work clothes for female employees..."

"That's right..." Fang Hong burst into laughter upon hearing this, but who would object to such a lovely and eye-catching housemaid? After looking at Yin Fulei again, he nodded and said with a smile: "Well, that's good, it's very eye-catching, but you are all so graceful and delicate, so you are testing my weakness..."

Two women: "..."

Fang Hong was very calm and composed, and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Where is she Xuanxuan?"

Yu Qiu immediately replied: "Oh, she's not at home. She should be going shopping with some of her best friends."

Fang Hong nodded and said, "You guys should be busy."

After saying that, he glanced at the maid Yin Fulei again and went to the study room upstairs. Now he had some serious business to do. He had to compile a file on the layout of the semiconductor industry, which would take a lot of time.

Otherwise, you can tease this maid girl and interact with her, which will make your life very comfortable.

Yin Fulei's resume shows that she is 22 years old and has just graduated from university. She was found by a headhunter and recommended her to work here. She actually has no experience in the housekeeping industry, but experience is not a requirement given by He Xuan. There are no preparation standards, but the standards for body shape and appearance are set extremely high.

In the end, Yin Fulei was attracted by the super high monthly salary of 32,000 yuan and various excellent benefits. If she graduates and finds a job in the corresponding major, she may not even get one-tenth of this salary.

Working here for a month is almost as much as a year's income from a normal job. You can also meet people far above your own class, and even get fooled by headhunters. If you are lucky enough to be spotted by a billionaire, you can directly change your destiny and achieve a class jump in minutes. of.

The words made Yin Fulei excited. Not to mention the Cinderella story of being attracted by a rich man, it was hard to refuse just this super high monthly salary of more than 30,000 yuan.



In the study upstairs.

Fang Hong turned on his computer and quickly created a chip documentation. For the semiconductor industry, he was very familiar with the major processes. Simply put, how to turn a pile of sand into a high-end chip, and he knew all the process steps required during the process.

Because Fang Hong was deeply involved in the investment in the semiconductor industry in his previous life, he was not the kind of person who just threw money without knowing what the links in the industry chain were.

It is no exaggeration to say that many so-called senior practitioners in the semiconductor industry in China may not have a better understanding of this industry than Fang Hong. Those senior practitioners may only be able to master a certain segment of the field, but Fang Hong is familiar with the entire industry. We have a clear understanding of the entire semiconductor industry chain pattern.

Therefore, Fang Hong knows where the funds should go, how to invest them, and how to reasonably allocate capital expenditures to the entire industry chain.

Chip production can be divided into three links: silicon wafer manufacturing, chip manufacturing and packaging testing.

From a technical perspective, silicon wafer manufacturing and chip manufacturing have the highest technical barriers among the three major links.

The process flow of silicon wafer manufacturing is roughly as follows: high-purity silicon → single crystal pulling → cylindrical grinding → slicing → chamfering → grinding → polishing → epitaxial growth and other links.

The process flow of chip manufacturing is roughly as follows: silicon wafer → cleaning → deposition → oxidation → glue coating → pre-baking → exposure → development → etching → post-baking → glue removal → ion implantation → film growth → grinding and polishing → metallization → wat Testing and other aspects.

The process flow of packaging and testing is roughly as follows: thinning → cutting → patch → wire bonding → molding → electroplating → rib cutting and forming → final testing and other links.

Generally speaking, a chip is actually made of a pile of sand.

But if you want to turn a pile of sand into a high-end chip, it actually involves hundreds or even thousands of process processes, and each process link often corresponds to the corresponding enterprise manufacturer.

No mistakes can be made in every link, no mistakes can be made.

For example, if the upstream wafer purification link does not meet the standard purity, then all the downstream industry chains will have to stare blankly. Even if it is forced to operate, all the products produced will be waste, so you can only wait and do nothing. .

Even if there is a shutdown, waiting for your wafer purification to meet the standards, and so many downstream manufacturers suspending production for a period of time to wait for you, it will be an immeasurable loss, and they will have to eat. This is also one of the important reasons for the difficulty of conquering high-end chips.

Moreover, manufacturers of key process links are not concentrated in one country, but are distributed in various countries around the world. Even the United States only monopolizes some of the key links.

For example, the most advanced manufacturer of photolithography machines is in the Netherlands, the most advanced manufacturer of wafer purification is in Japan, and the most advanced manufacturer of packaging is Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Therefore, when it is necessary to produce a chip, the leading manufacturers entrenched in the major semiconductor industry chains often convene a meeting first. For example, if this chip is to be produced, how high the purity of the wafer should be, how much production capacity, etc. Manufacturers in each link have obtained indicators to ensure that the links they are responsible for cannot be compromised. After discussion and confirmation, there is no problem, and it is OK to start working on it.

Generally, the North American Semiconductor Association does this, convening a meeting with leading manufacturers to decide how to do it.
