No one here complained that his teammates were not doing their best.
As industry insiders, they understand very well why their teammates in the Daxia Semiconductor Market are like this.
From a broad business and technology perspective, the lithography machine market is as profitable as sesame seeds.
Although a photolithography machine can be sold for tens of millions or hundreds of millions, the investment in R&D, production, and manufacturing of a photolithography machine far exceeds billions or even tens of billions.
However, the track of the polarization lithography machine market is more cruel than other industries. As long as you are one step behind the first batch of teams, all high-end shares will be highlighted by those in front of you, while the low-end market will be hit by dimensionality reduction, and profits will increase. The less.
Because there is a range in the price that consumers in the market can accept.
The most high-end products are actually sold at similar prices for each generation.
If others successfully upgrade, they can continue to sell high-end products, but if you fail to upgrade, your once high-end products will now become mid-to-high-end products, and your brand influence and profitability will be affected.
The semiconductor industry in Daxia actually had a brief period of glory, but due to the backward economic environment and the difficult scientific research environment, it was cut in half.
Now as the economy develops and the scientific research environment improves, the semiconductor industry still has a difficult start.
It is reported that Pudong Microelectronics’ ten-year R&D funding is only a few hundred million yuan, and its team has only a few hundred people. It is a situation where there are few people and little money. The news may be wrong, but there is no smoke without fire. The living environment of Pudong Microelectronics It can also be seen.
As for Ke Yihongyuan, that is the national team.
The Institute of Optoelectronics of Xia Ke Academy is responsible for the excimer laser light source system, and then Yanjing Keyihongyuan is responsible for the industrial transformation.
Sitting aside, Gao Shan said: "Although our lithography equipment supply chain is still far from the leading level.
But in addition, as far as industry chain partners are concerned, we still have choices, and officials are already negotiating, so we can look forward to it. "
Hopefully, no one here is stupid.
Looking forward to the above confrontation, what about the production business?
What about employees, equipment, and factory buildings?
If it were delayed for two or three years, Xiaxin Technology would be completely behind the second and third batches.
You must know that AS1ML is currently the only company in the world that can produce EUV lithography machines, and the production capacity of EUV lithography machines is still very limited.
According to the latest data released by AS1ML, it only produces more than 20 EUV lithography machines every year, and most of its production capacity is divided between TSMC and Korean stars.
When the two parties make peace...
The production capacity and chip manufacturing process of TSMC and Korean Star may have reached a new level.
There is no doubt that this has reached a point where Xiaxin Technology's life and death are at stake.
It is also related to the fate of Xia Guo's semiconductor production equipment manufacturers.
After all, my own family uses the backward equipment in China, which means giving up their profits to help.
Foreign companies will not care about the life and death of these companies with backward technologies.
It's even better to die. Who would dislike the large share occupied by his own company?
A bloodless war makes people even more helpless.
"I, a little butterfly, just flapped my wings, and the storm has arrived early?" Gu Qing put down his cell phone, looked at the night sky outside the window, and murmured to himself.
Jiuzhou Technology Company has reached an agreement with the five major domestic wafer manufacturing plants in Daxia, occupying part of the shares and providing upgrades of wafer manufacturing technology and equipment.
Most of our own semiconductor departments are also young adults in this industry, so they are not as unaware as ordinary people and other unrelated companies.
Rumors in the industry say that Xia Xin Technology's lithography machines may still last for four months, but some projects will cease production because the light source equipment of the lithography machines for mid-to-high-end chip manufacturing cannot be replaced or repaired.
As we all know, Xiaxin Technology is a chip foundry.
But the production equipment and technology it uses are still the product technologies of foreign companies at the current stage.
In peacetime, it is normal for the global economy to integrate.
The investment in the production of photolithography machines cannot be made by one company, and requires joint research and development by talents from many countries and companies.
And in this case, once we enter a special period.
So I have to rely on others.
"You drew the sword first, so don't blame us for drawing it.
After teaching those people in the semiconductor department for so long, it’s time to show it off and let everyone see it. "Gu Qing's heart changed.
Pick up your phone and open [Boundary Monument].
In the surveillance video, Li You, Zhang Yantai and others were not yet off work.
Some are immersed in operating the equipment and checking the instrument parameters from time to time; some are looking at the data on the computer screen and scratching their heads; some are drowsy, but as soon as they wake up, they will rush into research and development and study.
Gu Qing gave them more and more techniques, and the tasks he assigned became more and more difficult.
From the very beginning of the light source steady-state micro-focusing technology, after the equipment was ready and worked overtime to solve, they ushered in the development of light mirrors.
But what is better than the R&D personnel of other companies is that Gu Qing will inadvertently bring up the right direction every time during collective discussions.
Gu Qing taught this group of people a lot of knowledge. In the eyes of the students, the teacher's words undoubtedly held great weight.
Of course it's definitely not because Gu Qing is the big boss of the company and is in charge of their wallets and the health of their families (prosthetic technology).
At present, the general blueprint has been designed, but everyone is still arguing about one thing.
energy.
"With the high energy consumption of this new technology, the cost of manufacturing ordinary chips is too high."
"The SS1MB light source does not have such a large average power, so it cannot have a shorter wavelength and cannot be used as an EUV light source."
"If the loss of SS1MB in the optical lens stage is reduced a little, the power may be reduced a little, and the yield rate can be increased."
"Brother Li, what are you doing! Isn't it free to manufacture this optical lens equipment? Although the Finance Department did not show us the energy consumption meter, I am sure that the energy, materials and equipment we have wasted recently are at least several hundred million. .”
Li You sighed when he heard Zhang Yantai's words.
He pursues perfection a little too much, and the lithography machine is a high-energy and consumable project. The company has deep pockets, otherwise it would be impossible for them to burn money day and night.
Yes, it's a waste of money.
It was so hot that he felt a little frightened.
In the past, I used the boss's equipment at work, and it was a step-by-step process with no pressure.
But after coming to Jiuzhou Technology Company, the company helped him take care of the elderly care of his family, his children's education, and his wife's disability. He has regarded Jiuzhou Technology Company as a company similar to his second home.
Looking at the frowning Li You in the video, Gu Qing also sighed.
"Let Li You stand at the front desk then."
Although Gu has no plans to go abroad, he still doesn't want to be in the limelight anymore.
It was just a day or something, so tiring...
Well, safety is the most important thing.
