Chapter 173 Opportunity in Crisis

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

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

Until the end of the 1970s, 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 the fourth-generation step-by-step projection lithography machine, with a lithography accuracy of 3 microns, directly standing in the first queue.

The predicament in the early stage has come to today's predicament. The main reason is the particularity of the semiconductor industry.

It is not difficult to enter the industry at first, but with the upgrading of the precision process, the investment of resources is like a snowball, and more and more.

Restricted by the poor economic environment at the time, Daxia had to stop technology catch-up research and development, and industrial talents had to go elsewhere to survive.

It is a major factor that making is not as good as buying, but the plight of the economic environment is the main factor.

So this is also the reason why I strive to promote eclectic talents, high salaries and generous gifts.

A few months ago, the old employees sitting here took an extra subsidy of 200,000 Xia Yuan to support the renovation of the production workshop and personnel training of the friends. Ten thousand.

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

Lasers perfect the last-ditch effort.

After it's done, it's a trivial matter for the villa to be near the sea. "

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

Isn't it the light source? do it! "

Li You and the others looked at the young boss with extreme bad breath, and felt angry. When they were working in foreign-funded companies, they were often oppressed by those foreigners.

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

Thinking of this, the young R\u0026D staff also shouted.

"Do it!"

Seeing that his mobilization effect was not bad, 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 table.

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

An 8-inch or 12-inch wafer is placed on the exposure table, and photoresist is applied on it, which is light-sensitive, and the ultraviolet light will etch the circuit on the wafer.

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

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

Wafer manufacturing, needless to say, now Han Xing and Nihong are trying their best to resist the impact of Daxia Wafer.

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

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

As for the light source, "since ancient times" it has been the short board of Daxia.

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

With the continuous improvement of semiconductor industry nodes, the laser wavelength of lithography machines is also continuously shrinking, from near ultraviolet (NUV) lasers to deep ultraviolet (DUV) lasers, and then to extreme ultraviolet light EUV.

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

More 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 jewels".

And this big crisis, in the eyes of people with lofty ideals in China, this is also a big opportunity.

As long as a good light source can be produced to meet the production needs of Xiaxin Technology, will the lithography machines of other domestic chip manufacturers not use their own light sources?

Crisis and opportunity coexist, and people with discerning eyes have vision, but what is more important is the ability to participate.

After finishing class and assigning the last homework of the current stage, Gu Qing returned to her bedroom.

He picked up the phone, called Vice President Dong, and told him about the latest research and development progress of the semiconductor department.

Vice President Dong on the phone took a sip of wolfberry water, listening to Gu Qing's half-science and half-noise, his scalp gradually became numb.

Is your company's semiconductor department so bullish?

The high-tech that is stuck in foreign countries, this is how to get it out?

"So some time ago, you didn't let me ask about the overspending of the semiconductor department because their research and development has entered the final stage, so you can't disturb it, right?"

Someone Gu hummed: "In the high-tech industry, it is normal for R\u0026D expenditures to exceed expenditures, so calm down."

Gu Qing also really wants to be like other traversers, what project he wants to do, a few phone calls, talents, equipment, factory buildings, everything.

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

Since the semiconductor department has a factory building for the production of wafers, it is impossible to build a new factory building on a large scale in its own department.

But now they continue to carry out industrial flow production of laboratory products, so they can only buy factory buildings.

Talking about business and buying a factory will require professional people.

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

Dong Qi rubbed his temples, wiped out all the goji berry water in the thermos, and then began to read the list of factories available for purchase sent by Gu Qing (Xuanwu).

The light source developed by the semiconductor department is called Steady State Micro Beaming, SS1MB light source.

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

Therefore, a special process is required to reflect the light source. The current technology used is to use molybdenum and silicon multi-layer coating with a thickness of nanometers. The mature technology can achieve a reflectivity of about 60%, and the technology is almost 30%.

And the manufacture 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 this batch of bionic mechanical prosthesis installers successfully graduate, the reputation of Kyushu Technology will be greatly improved, and it will enter a stage of rapid development when it recruits talents.

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

In the end, after repeated reviews, the finance department held another meeting overnight.

Xiaoguang Technology Co., Ltd. was selected.

Not surprisingly, this lingering company will be completely taken over by Kyushu Technology Corporation.

The company's debts are paid off, the directors share a little money, and everyone is happy to get out of the quagmire.
