"You didn't know me before, but you should know Kunpeng Software Group, right? Are you familiar with BSEC, which invented the magnetically suspended dual workbench system for lithography machines last month?"
Sun Jian held the first GCA high-level meeting to point out the direction for the company. It was impossible for a reborn person to stay in the United States for a long time, and it was not worth working day and night for an American high-tech company that controlled less than 60% of the company.
"I am also the boss of Kunpeng Software Group and the controlling shareholder of BSEC."
Europeans and Americans admire wealthy people and worship self-made entrepreneurs.
Adrian, Brody, Blake, Adonis, Allen, Thompson, Eric, Angus, Miller, Davis, Rodriguez and Brosnan looked surprised. A sudden realization.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Kunpeng Software is famous all over the world, and its development prospects are not comparable to those of GCA, which is going downhill!
Although BSEC has just been established, it was the first to successfully develop the magnetic levitation lithography machine dual workbench system, one of the three core technologies of lithography machines. It can significantly improve the process accuracy and work efficiency of lithography machines. It is a core technology patent of lithography machines. One, a blockbuster!
GCA, which had suffered heavy losses, was facing a sale, and people were panicking. The company did not send anyone to the capital to discuss the purchase of the patent for the magnetically suspended dual workbench system of the lithography machine, and it did not know that the boss behind the scenes was the impressive young Chinese in front of him.
"ATIC is just a subsidiary of TIC, a financial investment company registered in Bermuda four years ago. Three years ago, MIP Fund sold its 30% stake in ASML to TIC for US$18 million. Last year, Philips planned to sell its 30% stake in ASML to TIC for US$23 million, but I have no interest in controlling ASML! I now control BSEC, and if it exceeds US$60 million, I will not Acquired the 47% stake in GCA held by General Signal."
be honest!
In addition to picking up leaks, GCA will not be held at a premium.
GCA is in the sunset. 47% of its shares have been sold by the boss twice. If you don’t want to be sold three times, work hard! A group of Ph.D.s from prestigious American universities are nothing special in Chairman Sun's eyes. If they don't work hard, they will be fired.
The economic recession in the United States is not over yet, with the unemployment rate as high as 7%.
"Today, Nikon Lithography Machine Equipment Company controls the high-end market of lithography machines, occupying 50% of the market share, and stands out! Canon accounts for 20% of the mid-to-low-end market share, GCA, SVG, Ultratech, Hitachi and ASML We can only divide the remaining 30% share. The semiconductor industry has not yet returned to the pre-recession level. The market capacity of lithography machines is limited and the market competition is fierce. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the future of GCA!"
The new chairman knows the current situation of the world's lithography machine industry very well. The executives on site were surprised, but they also knew the current situation of the company and were worried. They all wanted to hear how the new chairman would guide the direction?
"Dean Thompson, what are GCA's top three technologies in the field of lithography machines today?"
"Chairman Sun, ArF excimer laser technology ranks first in the world, and KrF photoresist technology ranks second to IBM."
Dean Thompson, a 52-year-old academician of the National Academy of Sciences and a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was filled with pride. GCA was once the world's dominant lithography machine.
He also serves as the director of the Lithography Machine Light Source Research Institute, and his research interests include lithography machine light sources and ArF excimer lasers.
"GCA will position itself in the high-end lithography machine market in the future. While continuing to maintain its industry-leading advantage in light source systems, it will increase investment to improve the performance of ArF excimer lasers; it will work closely with Zeiss on optical systems and sign a long-term supply contract; The company wants to catch up with Nikon in terms of process accuracy, and I think the breakthrough point lies in the magnetically suspended dual worktable system of the photolithography machine invented by BSEC not long ago!"
Sun Jian stopped to take a sip of water. He would not tell Dean Thompson the research and development direction of the immersion lithography machine. Although the back and palms of his hands were full of flesh, blood was thicker than water!
Adrian and Brody's eyes lit up.
"General Manager Adrian, can the company exchange the ArF excimer laser patent for BSEC's lithography machine magnetically suspended dual worktable system patent?"
Light source, optical system and workbench system are the three core technologies of lithography machines. BSEC has one of them, and it is a unique core technology in the world! He has successively controlled BSEC and GCA, fulfilling Backhouse's investment requirements. It was only a matter of time before he invested in the equity of Zeiss Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, and the optical system was also secured. In exchange for the lifetime patent authorization of GCA's ArF excimer laser, it became the first choice. .
"Chairman Sun, although the company's ArF excimer laser still ranks first in the industry, photolithography companies such as Nikon and others have their own ArF excimer laser invention patents. I'm worried that BSEC will not agree."
Nowadays, the top ten lithography companies in the world all have their own developed ArF excimer lasers. GCA's ArF excimer laser is not the only choice. Of course Adrian is worried.
"General Manager Adrian, because of the legal issues involving related transactions and transfer of interests between the two holding companies, it is inconvenient for me to come forward. I authorize General Manager Adrian to go to BSEC with Dean Thompson and a lawyer on behalf of GCA. , discuss with the other party’s General Manager Yu Jianguo and Dean Deng Guohui about the licensing and transfer of patent technology for the ArF excimer laser and lithography machine magnetically suspended dual workbench system. I also authorize General Manager Yu Jianguo to represent BSEC. After discussion, you both decided, Ai General Manager Derian and General Manager Yu Jianguo finally signed and sealed the patent technology licensing and transfer agreement."
GCA is a listed company in the United States. The legal provisions of the United States are complete, and violations will be punished. It involves related transactions and transfer of interests between the two holding companies. Once problems arise, Chairman Sun cannot run away to avoid leaving stains, and will not intervene to coordinate or provide compensation. The subordinates left behind evidence to favor one side to avoid settling scores later. He would only tell Yu Jianguo that he would invest in Zeiss to solve the problem of optical systems. I believe Yu Jianguo and Deng Guohui knew what technology the company urgently needed? Being in an advantageous position, at the negotiating table, you will not suffer any loss.
With the lifetime license of the world's first ArF excimer laser patented technology, BSEC Light Source Factory can legally produce ArF excimer lasers (the patented technology cannot be sold or transferred). Based on thorough research on ArF excimer lasers, Deng Guohui's team We have begun to develop ArFi excimer lasers and developed 193nm immersion lithography machines in advance. Once successfully developed, BSEC will be completely transformed.
The immersion lithography system was a suggestion from a previous TSMC engineer named Lin. It was scorned by lithography machine light source experts such as Nikon and Canon who invested heavily in researching F2 excimer lasers. However, ASML took the risk and adopted this suggestion and conquered the 193nm wavelength of lithography machines. A global optical problem, he produced the world's first immersion lithography machine and became famous in one fell swoop!
