BSEC has switched to KrF excimer laser and patented technology of 800nm process technology, and it is not yet able to produce lithography machines with 1um process technology.
There are still 5 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches on the wafer, and the process technology is still 1um, 800nm, 500nm and 350nm. There is a long way to go!
More than ten years behind!
One step behind, one step behind!
In the previous life, I tried my best to catch up for more than 30 years, but I still couldn't catch up. I had to spend more than 300 billion US dollars to import chips every year!
This is the price of believing in "trade, industry and technology" and "it is better to buy than to make"!
In 1988, Shanghai Belling Semiconductor Company imported a semiconductor production line with 4-inch wafers and 2um process technology.
In 1990, Shanghai Philips Semiconductor Company imported a semiconductor production line with 5-inch wafers and 1um process technology.
At the end of 1991, Shougang Corporation and NEC established Shougang NEC Electronics Co., Ltd. (SGNEEC holds 50.3%, Shougang holds 49.7%, with a registered capital of 20.75 billion yen) in the SJS District of Beijing. It imports a 6-inch wafer and 1um wafer produced by NEC. The joint venture started construction of the semiconductor production line for process technology in March last year and is still under construction.
In April this year, Jingcheng Electronic Tube Factory (774 Factory), once the largest electronic components factory in China, announced its withdrawal from the IC industry due to various reasons. Factory director Wang Dongsheng led the cadres and employees to raise 6.5 million yuan of their own funds to carry out joint-stock restructuring and established Beijing Oriental Electronics Group Co., Ltd., Wang Dongsheng serves as chairman and president.
"The Evil God"
In May, Huajing Electronics Group spent a huge investment of 1.5 billion yuan to introduce a semiconductor production line with 6-inch wafers and 1um process technology produced by Lucent Semiconductor Equipment Company of the United States. It is still in the construction stage.
Shanghai Dawning Toshiba Wafer Company (TTFAB) is still the most advanced wafer company in China!
"Mr. Wei, how much does it cost to produce a semiconductor production line with 4-inch wafers and 1.5um process technology?"
"Chairman, it will cost about 90 million yuan."
"Mr. Wei, how much does it cost to import a semiconductor production line with 4-inch wafers and 1.5um process technology now?"
"Chairman, it will probably cost more than 14 million U.S. dollars."
Wei Jianguo, Deng Guohui and everyone else looked embarrassed.
"Comrades, the semiconductor industry is developing at a rapid pace. GCA was able to produce lithography machines with 800nm process technology eight years ago. Now it can produce lithography machines with 500nm process technology, but it still suffers losses every year and has to lay off nearly 70% of its employees. The United States In order to reduce losses, the signal company had to sell 47% of its GCA shares. Now Nikon Semiconductor Equipment Company is mass-producing 350nm process lithography machines, occupying the high-end lithography machine market, and is developing 250nm process lithography machines. In addition to magnetic levitation Compared with the current level of BSEC and Nikon, according to the current development speed, the gap is more than twenty years. All management and ordinary employees must have a sense of urgency, otherwise the future of the company will not be good!"
The rebirthers are no longer worried and have successively invested in ASML, Cymer, BSEC, GCA, MEMC and Zeiss SMT AG to complete the layout of lithography machines.
The seeds have been sown, waiting for fall to arrive.
The BSEC Lithography Semiconductor Research Institute is now digesting and absorbing the patented technology of ArF excimer laser and 800nm process technology.
Nowadays, it is only a matter of time before the BSEC light source factory produces ArF excimer lasers, which solves the problem of light sources for lithography machines; the purchase of optical systems produced by Zeiss SMT AG solves the problems of optical systems of lithography machines; the dual workbench system research institute of lithography machines overcomes The magnetic suspension dual workbench system for 5-inch wafers, 6-inch wafers and 1um process technology is also a matter of time.
The three core technologies of the lithography machine have been developed, among which the magnetically suspended dual workbench system technology is the only one in the world.
After obtaining the patented technology of 800nm process technology, in theory, there should be no big problem in producing photolithography machines with 1um process technology.
If the management and ordinary employees of BSEC do not have a sense of crisis, the company has no incentive mechanism, and progress is slow, it will be eliminated in the rapidly changing environment of the semiconductor industry.
"Comrades, the company now has such good conditions. We must give full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of all employees in the company, and we must completely break the tenure system of management and the iron rice bowl of employees. Mr. Wei, Vice President Li and Vice President Qian will discuss and formulate a company The assessment method and company system for management and ordinary employees to compete for positions, and when the time comes, the competent ones will be promoted and the inferior ones will be demoted."
"Okay, Chairman!"
The pressure on Wei Jianguo, Li Changjie and Qian Guopei was obvious. Sun Jian was given a heavy responsibility by the superiors to hand over three photolithography and semiconductor research institutes and their supporting factories that were losing money every year. He had invested huge sums of money and would not allow the company to be overstaffed. If we continue to lose money, no one will be able to bear it.
"Dean Deng, now the institute has advanced research equipment and materials, and is fully staffed. The three of you will discuss it. The institute will focus on the production of 6-inch wafers and 1um process lithography machines, and solve technical problems one by one. List them out, compete for jobs, appoint people, specify the time, and sign a military order. Who can develop it? Depending on the difficulty, the project team will be awarded a heavy reward ranging from 50,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan. The project team leader will receive the project bonus. One quarter will be the director of the research department of this project in the future.”
"Okay, Chairman!"
With both fame and fortune, who wouldn’t work hard? The enthusiasm and creativity of technical personnel will be stimulated, and Deng Guohui foresees that every technical problem will be overcome.
"Mr. Wei and Dean Deng listed all the technical problems on the 6-inch wafer and 1um production lines that cannot be solved within two years, and entrusted them to other domestic scientific research institutes. The company purchased the other party's patented technology; those that cannot be developed and produced within two years List the equipment and materials, and sign long-term supply contracts with domestic and foreign manufacturers. The company cannot produce lithography machines with 6-inch wafers and 1um process technology within two years, and cannot produce a semiconductor with 6-inch wafers and 1um process technology within four years. For the production line, I will cancel the relevant research and production departments, and the relevant management and ordinary employees will be laid off or diverted."
If you bear too much social responsibility, you will be exhausted. BSEC, a large and comprehensive company, will also be dragged to death. At worst, it specializes in the production of BSEC lithography machines!
"Okay, Chairman!"
"Okay, Chairman!"
"Mr. Wei and Dean Deng, there are truly talented people at home and abroad who are not restricted by age, academic qualifications and professional titles. They are recruited in an eclectic way, widening the income gap between management and ordinary employees, and widening the gap between technical personnel and ordinary employees. The difference in income among ordinary employees will eliminate the idle management and technical personnel, promote the ordinary employees with real talents to management or technical personnel, and establish a company culture and system in which everyone strives to be the best."
"Okay, Chairman!"
"Okay, Chairman!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, their income would increase significantly and their energy would double. This kind of reform was unimaginable in G companies. Through a series of operations, they understood that the young people in front of them had the ability and methods to allow the company to continue to survive and grow.
