Chapter 178 [Creating the autonomy of the entire semiconductor industry chain]

At about 16:00 that afternoon, Fang Hong returned to Huayang Villa to live in peace.

The next major layout is the semiconductor field. It is no exaggeration to say that the current domestic semiconductor industry is in a situation of backwardness in all aspects, and not a single star has settled down.

To complete the assembly of the entire layout and make a difference in the field of high-end high-end physical manufacturing with high added value, the semiconductor industry is an unavoidable link.

Under the current domestic semiconductor industry's all-round backwardness, it must be too late, but it is never too late to catch up and enter the market. The sooner the better.

Fang Hong has the foresight to know the technological war that Lao Mei will face in the next ten years.

Therefore, for semiconductors, you either don’t do it, or you have to do it through the entire industry chain, otherwise, if you fail to control a link, and this link suddenly gets stuck in your neck, the entire industry chain will have to be shut down.

This is the nature of the semiconductor industry.

Fang Hong estimated the current funding situation of Qunxing Capital, and it is indeed possible to start it. This matter will not be accomplished overnight, but the first step can be taken, and the conditions for making a start are already met.

Qunxing Capital's current investment in overseas markets has a net value of more than 8.8 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 60 billion yuan, and its investment in the domestic A-share market has reached a net value of 45 billion.

In other words, assuming Qunxing Capital is now cashing out all its stock assets, it can place more than 100 billion in liquid cash.

However, if you want to build a fully self-controlled semiconductor industry chain, let alone 100 billion, I am afraid that even if you increase it several times, you may not be able to realize this grand vision.

Although the required capital support is astronomical and the time period is very long, it does not affect the start now, and the money is not all poured in at once. In the initial stage, get 10 to 20 billion in and put up the shelf.

At present, the global semiconductor process technology has broken through to the 45nm level, and domestic semiconductors are eighteen blocks behind the current world's top level.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to catch up step by step if you are so far behind.

Fang Hong got out of the car and walked into the villa, thinking about the layout of semiconductors.

Entering the room, Fang Hong saw a strange beautiful girl with good looks and figure cleaning the living room. This is not the key point, the key point is that she is wearing a blue maid outfit and knee-high white silk stockings.

This situation also made Fang Hong stunned for a while when he saw it for the first time, and his thinking about the layout of the semiconductor industry was interrupted.

The housekeeper, Yu Qiu, happened to be in the living room at this time, and when he saw Fang Hong, he was surprised for a moment and smiled sweetly, "Brother Hong is back?"

Yu Qiu turned to look at the girl dressed as a maid who was cleaning the living room and signaled her to stop for a while. Fang Hong glanced at the girl dressed as a maid who was coming. At this moment, Yu Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Hong, this is Evelee A female domestic worker who was just recruited a few days ago.

It was the first time for Evelee to see her employer so young and handsome, and she was also surprised, but she did not forget to wave and greet with a smile: "Brother Hong!"

Fang Hong nodded, and after Evelee looked her up and down, she asked curiously, "This is...your work attire?"

At this time, Evelee couldn't help but feel a little shy when she saw Fang Hong unabashedly scanning her body. Yu Qiu, who was standing beside her, was equally embarrassed, but she still explained: "This is Xuanxuan. Customized work clothes for female domestic workers..."

"That's right..." Fang Hong burst out laughing when he heard that, but who would object to such a lovely housemaid? After looking at Evelee again, she nodded and smiled and said, "Well, this is pretty good, it's very eye-catching, but all of you are beautiful and delicate, it's just a test of my weakness..."

Two women: "..."

Fang Hong was very calm and composed, and immediately changed the subject and asked, "Where is Xuanxuan?"

Yu Qiu immediately replied: "Oh, she's not at home, she should be shopping with some of her girlfriends."

Fang Hong nodded and said, "You guys should be busy."

After speaking, she glanced at the maid Evelee and went upstairs to the study. Now she has business to do, and she needs to sort out a file of the layout of the semiconductor industry, which will take a lot of time.

Otherwise, it would be a pleasant life to tease this maid girl and have some interaction.

Evelee's resume shows that she is 22 years old and has just graduated from university. She was found and recommended by a headhunter to work here. In fact, she has no experience in the housekeeping industry, but it is not given by Hexuan. The necessary standards for entry, but the standards of body and appearance are set extremely high.

In the end, Evelee was attracted by the super-high monthly salary of 32,000 yuan and various excellent benefits. If she graduates and finds a job in a corresponding profession, she may not even have a tenth of the salary.

Working here for a month can almost equal a normal working year's income, and you can also get in touch with people far above your own class, and you are fooled by headhunters. If you are lucky enough to be spotted by a billionaire, you can directly change your destiny in minutes and achieve a class transition. of.

It made Evelee's heart flutter, not to mention the story of being caught by a rich man like this kind of Cinderella, just the super high monthly salary of more than 30,000 yuan is hard to refuse.

...

Upstairs in the study.

Fang Hong turned on the computer and quickly created a chip document material. For the semiconductor industry, he is very clear about the process of each link. Simply put, how to rub a pile of sand into a high-end chip, all the process links required during the period are very clear.

Because Fang Hong was deeply involved in the investment in the semiconductor industry in his previous life, and he was not the kind of person who just spends money without knowing what is in the industry chain.

It is no exaggeration to say that many so-called senior practitioners in the semiconductor industry in China may not be as familiar with this industry as Fang Hong. The structure of the semiconductor industry chain has a clear understanding.

So where the funds should go, how to invest, and how to rationally allocate capital expenditures to the entire industry chain, Fang Hong knows exactly what to do.

The production of chips can be divided into three links: silicon wafer manufacturing, chip manufacturing, and packaging and testing.

From a technical perspective, silicon wafer manufacturing and chip manufacturing belong to the highest technical barriers among the three major links.

The process flow of silicon wafer manufacturing is roughly as follows: high-purity silicon → pulling single crystal → grinding outer circle → slicing → chamfering → grinding → polishing → epitaxial growth and other links.

The process flow of chip manufacturing is roughly as follows: silicon wafer→cleaning→deposition→oxidation→glue coating→pre-baking→exposure→developing→etching→post-baking→gel removal→ion implantation→film growth→grinding and polishing→metallization→WAT testing etc.

The process flow of packaging and testing is roughly as follows: thinning → cutting → patch → wire bonding → molding → electroplating → rib cutting and forming → final testing and other links.

Generally speaking, a chip is actually made of a pile of sand.

But if you want to rub a pile of sand into a high-end chip, it actually involves hundreds or even thousands of technological processes, and each process often corresponds to the corresponding enterprise manufacturer.

Every link can't make mistakes, and can't lose the chain.

For example, if the wafer purification link at the upstream end does not meet the standard purity, then all the downstream industry chains will stare blankly. Even if they are forced to operate to produce waste products, they must lose their money, so they can only wait and do nothing. .

Even if it is a shutdown, waiting for your wafer purification to meet the standard, so many downstream manufacturers will stop working for a period of time and wait for you, it will be an immeasurable loss, and they will all have to eat. This is also one of the important reasons why high-end chips are difficult to overcome.

Moreover, the manufacturers of the key process links are not concentrated in one country, but have branches in various countries around the world. Even Laomei only monopolizes some of the key links.

For example, the most advanced manufacturer of lithography machines is in the Netherlands, the most advanced manufacturer of wafer purification is in Japan, and the most advanced manufacturer of packaging is TSMC.

Therefore, when a chip is to be produced, the top manufacturers entrenched in the major semiconductor industry chains often convene a meeting first, for example, to produce this chip, how high the purity of the wafer, how much production capacity, etc., Manufacturers in all links have received indicators to ensure that the link they are responsible for cannot lose the chain. After discussing and confirming that there is no problem, it is OK to start.

Generally, the North American Semiconductor Association is responsible for this matter, and various leading manufacturers are called to hold a meeting to decide how to do it.
