"Chairman, I suggest that ttfab invest in the introduction of a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers and 500nm process technology."
Probably influenced by the news that bsec invested 700 million yuan in the development of 8-inch wafers and 500nm process lithography machines after the listing, ttfab (Akebono Toshiba Wafer Company) Vice Chairman Saburo Nakamura made an appointment with Chairman Sun Jian in advance to start from Shanghai. Hai came to the headquarters of Taobao Holdings and took out an investment plan.
"Mr. Nakamura, the 250nm lithography machine successfully developed by Nikon has been put into mass production. Since Mr. Nakamura is optimistic about the development prospects of domestic semiconductors, I suggest that the company invest in a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers and 350nm process technology."
Sun Jian browsed the investment plan and planned to invest US$800 million, of which US$500 million will be used to introduce an 8-inch wafer and 500nm process technology semiconductor production line (Nikon 350nm lithography machine) produced by Toshiba Semiconductor Equipment Company, and US$300 million. dollars for the construction of the new plant.
Under normal circumstances, the construction of a semiconductor production line and the introduction of the semiconductor production line require 60% investment, and civil engineering and other projects require 40% investment.
The price offered by Toshiba Semiconductor Equipment Company is 10% cheaper than GCA!
Saburo Nakamura not only sold a 500nm process technology semiconductor production line for Toshiba Semiconductor Equipment Company, ttfab also became the second wafer company in China to own a 500nm process technology semiconductor production line. It is a guaranteed profit without losing money!
TTFAB and PGCA (PGCA Wafer Company) are both Sino-foreign joint venture wafer companies indirectly controlled by Sun Jian. The backs of their hands are full of flesh.
ttfab now has two 6-inch wafer and 1um process technology semiconductor production lines, with a yield rate of 98%. In addition to satisfying the needs of Sugon Communications Group, Sugon Toshiba Technology Co., Ltd., Sugon Toshiba Elevator Company, Guozhi Semiconductor Equipment Company and Guozhi Intelligent Security System Company In addition to chip production, it also manufactures chips for domestic and foreign customers, and is now in full production.
PGCA invested US$1 billion to introduce a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers and 500nm process technology. It was put into trial production on June 24 last year. Now the yield rate has reached 95%. It produces high-end chips for Sugon Communications Group and Guozhi Semiconductor Equipment Company. , can meet the production needs of gz-c3000, gz-c4000, and also provide external wafer foundry.
The first phase of the pgca project also plans to introduce a semiconductor production line with 6-inch wafers and 800nm process technology; the second phase project plans to introduce a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers with 350nm process technology and an 8-inch wafer with 250nm process technology; the third phase project plans to introduce a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers with 350nm process technology; Expect……
On September 17 last year, after bsec successfully developed a semiconductor production line with 6-inch wafers and 1um process technology, it was only a matter of time before it successfully developed a semiconductor production line with 800nm process technology. Sun Jian left this semiconductor production line to bsec.
GCA no longer produces lithography machines for 6-inch wafers and 800nm process technology.
If Japan is a rogue country, the United States is a rogue country. If he does not want to commit suicide, Sun Jian will not support GCA to monopolize the global high-end lithography machine market.
Since Saburo Nakamura plans to introduce a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers and 500nm process technology, Sun Jian will place orders to introduce a semiconductor production line with 8-inch wafers and 350nm process technology to Japanese semiconductor companies such as Nikon and Toshiba.
In the previous era, Nikon was the world leader in lithography machine technology, and the winner took all, monopolizing the global high-end lithography machine market. GCA, ultratech, and SVG were like helpless adou, losing ground. In the end, the US government had to support ASML. , blocking the rapid development of Japan's semiconductor industry.
ASML brought together top technologies from European and American countries such as the United States and Germany, successfully developed EUV lithography machines, and monopolized the global high-end lithography machine market. Since then, Japanese lithography machine companies such as Nikon and Hitachi began to decline, lifting the control of Japanese semiconductor companies. Threats to the U.S. Semiconductor Industry.
Sun Jian came out of nowhere and took over the unpopular GCA. He exchanged the patented technology of the magnetic levitation dual workbench system with BSE and invested heavily in the research and development of extreme ultraviolet light and photoresist. After a series of operations, GCA became vigorous and prosperous. With great vitality, it has successfully developed gca3500b, gca2500b and gca1800b, returning to the top of the world's lithography machines.
Almost all global high-end chip production orders come from American companies. Home-grown American semiconductor companies such as IBM, II, AMD, and HP have all turned to purchasing GCA3500B and GCA2500B, resulting in a sharp reduction in Nikon's share of the global high-end lithography machine market. Nikon adopts low prices. The sales strategy is to take advantage of the advanced technology of Japan’s semiconductor industry chain to seize the high-end lithography machine market in the Baodao region and South Korea.
Today, 90% of the high-end lithography machine market in the United States is occupied by G, which accounts for 60% of the high-end lithography machine market in Baodao and South Korea.
"Chairman, the company headquarters also has this plan. The total investment is about 1.8 billion US dollars, of which 1.1 billion US dollars are needed to purchase an 8-inch wafer and 350nm process semiconductor production line produced by Toshiba Semiconductor Equipment Company, and 700 million US dollars are needed for land and infrastructure projects. Dollar."
Saburo Nakamura was delighted. In addition to the U.S. high-end semiconductor market, other countries and regions require a limited number of high-end semiconductor production lines. The 350nm process semiconductor production line produced by Toshiba Semiconductor Equipment Company also faces competition from its Japanese counterparts.
Once the introduction is successful, ttfab will have the first domestic semiconductor production line with 350nm process technology.
Under the control of the United States, 33 countries, mainly Western countries, signed the "Wassenaar Agreement" in Vienna, Austria, in July 1996, deciding to implement new control lists and information exchange rules from November 1, 1996 .
Like "Batumi", "WAX" also contains two control lists: one is a list of dual-use goods and technologies, covering advanced materials, material processing, electronic devices, computers, telecommunications and information security, sensing and There are 9 categories including lasers, navigation and avionics instruments, ships and maritime equipment, and propulsion systems; the other is a military product list, covering a total of 22 categories including various weapons and ammunition, equipment, and combat platforms.
China is also among the embargoed countries.
The Wassenaar Arrangement, also known as the Wassenaar Arrangement, is called the Wassenaar Agreement on Export Controls of Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Products and Technologies. It has 40 member states including the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Russia.
It did not officially list the countries subject to control, but only verbally listed four countries, Yinlang, Yinlac, North Korea and Libya, as targets of control.
The "Wassenaar Agreement" is a very loose organization. Member states can decide on their own the measures and methods to implement export controls and approve their own export licenses by referring to common control principles and lists, which is the so-called "each country handles its own affairs" principle. [1]

Although the "Wassenaar Arrangement" stipulates that member countries decide whether to issue export licenses for sensitive products and technologies and notify other "Arrangement" member states of relevant information on a voluntary basis. But the "arrangement" is actually completely controlled by the United States.
Purchase an 8-inch 350nm semiconductor production line in advance.
