Chapter 172: Opportunities in Crisis

“In the 1960s, our country successfully developed the first silicon-based digital integrated circuit, which is what we now call a chip.

You must know that at that time, Neon, Koryo and even American companies had just entered this field.

It was not until the late 1970s that the American GCA Company launched the world's first commercial step-by-step projection lithography machine-DS1W4800, with a lithography accuracy of about 3 microns.

Only two years later, a university in Daxia successfully developed a fourth-generation step-by-step projection lithography machine. The lithography accuracy reached 3 microns, directly ranking in the first queue.

The main reason for the early prosperity and today's difficulties is due to the particularity of the semiconductor industry.

It was not difficult to enter the industry at first, but with the upgrading of precision manufacturing processes, more and more resources were invested like a snowball.

Due to the poor economic environment at the time, Daxia eventually had to stop technological catch-up research and development, and industrial talents had to seek survival elsewhere.

The inferiority of building to buying is a major factor, but the predicament of the economic environment is the main factor.

So this is why I strive to promote eclectic treatment of talents, high salaries and generous gifts.

A few months ago, the old employees sitting here received an additional subsidy of 200,000 Xia yuan to support the renovation of the production workshops and personnel training of a friend. Some people acted quickly and earned more than 50 yuan in bonuses and wages in a month. Ten thousand.

Please don’t be too little. I believe this year’s year-end bonus will satisfy both old and new employees.

Lasers perfect the last ditch effort.

After all, it’s trivial to have a villa close to the sea. "

Gu Qing stood on the podium and pointed at the laser pattern of the PPT, "The key is this tone, we must fight for TND!

Isn't it just the light source? Do it! "

Li You and others felt angry when they saw the young boss' bad breath. They were oppressed by foreigners when they worked in foreign companies.

Working overtime, deducting bonuses, squinting and mocking...

Thinking of this, the young R&D personnel also shouted.

"Do it!"

Seeing that his mobilization effect was pretty good, Gu Qing nodded secretly.

The operating principle of the lithography machine is actually relatively simple.

The first is the light source component. The laser emits light. After correction, it enters the energy controller, beam shaping device and other equipment, and then enters the photomask station.

The photomask made by the design company is placed on the photomask stage, and then projected to the exposure stage through the objective lens.

An 8-inch or 12-inch wafer is placed on the exposure table. It is coated with photoresist and is photosensitive. Ultraviolet light will etch circuits on the wafer.

The opponent directly cuts off the light source. The main reason is that this thing is difficult to make.

In terms of chip design, Xia Wei is already at the forefront of the world.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about wafer manufacturing. Now Hanxing and Neon are struggling to resist the impact of Daxia wafers.

Even the most primitive raw material of the wafer, polysilicon.

Daxia Xiexin Group filled Daxia’s gap in this area as early as two years ago.

The light source has been Daxia's shortcoming "since ancient times".

The laser is responsible for light source generation, and the light source has a decisive impact on the manufacturing process.

As the semiconductor industry nodes continue to improve, the wavelength of lithography lasers is also constantly shrinking, from near ultraviolet (NUV) lasers to deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers, and then extreme ultraviolet EUV.

In fact, this is the most advantageous method for the opponent, but on the other hand, it is also a helpless method.

Common materials, such as photoresist.

They know that as long as they dare to ban photoresist, Daxia will be able to develop mid-to-high-end photoresist products within two years.

And because of Daxia's complete human resources and industrial chain, this photoresist will soon become "cheap glue".

Industries such as port gantry cranes and drilling rigs are "precious and jade first".

As for this big crisis, in the eyes of people with lofty ideals in the country, this is also a big opportunity.

As long as we can make a good light source and meet the production needs of Xia Xin Technology, will other domestic chip manufacturers use their own light sources for their lithography machines?

Crisis and opportunity coexist, and those with a discerning eye have vision, but what is more important is the ability to participate.

After finishing class and assigning the last homework at this stage, Gu Qing returned to his bedroom.

I picked up the phone and called Vice President Dong to tell him about the latest research and development progress of the semiconductor department.

Vice President Dong on the other side of the phone took a sip of wolfberry water, and his scalp gradually became numb as he listened to Gu Qing's half-science and half-noisy talk.

Is your company’s semiconductor department so arrogant?

The high technology that is stuck in foreign countries is now available?

"So the reason why you didn't let me ask about the overspending of the semiconductor department some time ago is because their research and development has entered the final stage and cannot be disturbed, right?"

Gu Mou hummed: "In the high-tech industry, it is normal to overrun R&D expenditures. Calm down."

Gu Qing also wanted to be like other time-travelers. Whatever project he wanted to do, he could have talents, equipment, and factories with just a few phone calls.

But the reality is often unsatisfactory. Famous talents are highly bound, equipment is prohibited from sale, and high-end factories need to be negotiated slowly.

Since the semiconductor department has factories that produce wafers, it is unable to build new factories on a large scale in its own department.

But now we continue to carry out industrial streamlined production of laboratory products, so we can only buy a factory building.

When talking about business or buying a factory, you need to have trouble with professionals.

After the phone call, Gu drank a cup of hot milk and fell asleep peacefully.

Dong Qi rubbed his temples, drained the wolfberry water from the thermos cup, and then began to read the list of available factories passed by Gu Qing (Xuanwu).

The light source developed by the semiconductor department is called the steady-state micro-bunching, SS1MB light source.

The wavelength of this light source can cover from terahertz to extreme ultraviolet band, but extremely short ultraviolet light will be absorbed by the air, and almost all substances will absorb it.

Therefore, special processes are required to reflect light sources. The technology currently used is to use molybdenum and silicon multi-layer coatings with a thickness of nanometers. The mature technology can achieve a reflectivity of about 60%, and the technology is less than 30%.

The manufacturing of lasers in the light source of lithography machines cannot be done by "small workshops and small factories".

The company is now spending a lot of money to collect talents from all over the world. It is expected that after the successful graduation of this batch of bionic mechanical prosthetic installers, Jiuzhou Technology Company's reputation will be greatly improved, and when the time comes to recruit talents, it will also enter a stage of rapid development.

After all, technical talents will not take the initiative to enter an unknown small company.

Finally, after repeated reviews, the Finance Department held another meeting overnight.

Xinguang Technology Company was selected.

Not surprisingly, this struggling company will be completely taken over by Jiuzhou Technology Company.

The company's debts were paid off, the directors shared some money, and everyone was happy to get out of the quagmire.
