Chapter 229 The Pearl in the Field of Modern Industrial Manufacturing
Tangdu Jiaotong University.
When Yin Zhiyao and Hao Tao came to Xu Songyao's office, they both immediately asked about Wang Donglai's situation.
The two had an in-depth exchange of views on the way over.
Even Hao Tao is not confident that he can come up with a plasma etching technology solution in just one day.
Especially the conditions for Zhongwei are to avoid patents from Western European and American countries.
This is even more difficult. It is equivalent to avoiding the Sunshine Avenue and taking the narrow path, which is rugged and difficult to walk.
Although they didn't quite believe it in their hearts, neither of them felt that Xu Songyao would deceive them.
As soon as they saw Xu Songyao, the two of them couldn't wait to ask about the plan.
But Xu Songyao was very calm and was not affected by the two of them at all. Instead, he smiled and said to Hao Tao: "Old Hao, why are you here too?"
"I just came here to take a look. I heard that Wang Donglai made a plasma etching plan. I'm a little curious. Lao Xu, you don't mind, right?"
Hao Tao naturally knew Xu Songyao and smiled. said.
"If you just come to have a look, that's no problem. I welcome you with both hands."
Xu Songyao said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Songyao's words, Hao Tao's expression did not change at all, as if he did not hear the hidden meaning in Xu Songyao's words.
"Old Xu, where is Wang Donglai?"
Hao Tao glanced at the office and asked aloud.
"He will be here soon, let's wait for a while."
Xu Songyao did not take it seriously and explained to Hao Tao, not at all because of his status as academician and principal. Waiting for a professor will damage your face.
Although Yin Zhiyao on the side was curious, he did not urge him. Instead, he paid attention to Xu Songyao's attitude towards Wang Donglai.
In just a few words, Yin Zhiyao could tell that Xu Songyao definitely admired Wang Donglai very much.
Otherwise, Xu Songyao, a dignified academician and principal, would not have to do this at all.
Even a brand new plasma etching solution is nothing to an academician.
This plan can definitely be made if we find academicians in relevant majors in China and give it some time and support.
But the price is too high.
Therefore, Yin Zhiyao did not think about finding people at the academician level, but chose to spread the word in universities and find professors and students who could do it.
Although Yin Zhiyao has been abroad for many years, he still knows the domestic scientific research environment very well.
Some experts teach full of theoretical knowledge and publish scientific research papers one after another, but they cannot be applied in practice.
There are expert professors who do not have many scientific research papers, but they have very strong practical results.
Although theory and practice are often linked together, in today's society, the situation has long changed.
Those who are engaged in theory and those who are engaged in practical application are not at all related to each other, and each is doing his own thing.
As a result, there are few results and few high-quality scientific research papers.
Knowing these situations does not mean that Yin Zhiyao can change.
He is just a businessman and a scholar.
All we can do is to try our best to cultivate talents who can connect theory and practice.
This is what he does in his Zhongwei company.
In the past few years, Zhongwei Company has made rapid progress, partly because Yin Zhiyao insists on combining theory and practice.
So, Yin Zhiyao has secretly decided that no matter what Wang Donglai's design plan is later, he will try to recruit Wang Donglai or build a good relationship.
Mathematics is the foundation. People who learn mathematics well can actually make great achievements in many aspects.
It is obvious that Wang Donglai is a talent with extremely solid theoretical knowledge, and his ability to prove difficult mathematical problems in the world is enough.
In addition, artificial intelligence medical auxiliary diagnosis systems are also manifestations of practical applications.
In fact, there are not many talents with solid theoretical knowledge and practical application results, and there are even fewer people like Wang Donglai.
If there is a real comparison, I am afraid that only those scientists who are important to the country can surpass Wang Donglai.
While Yin Zhiyao was thinking about this, Wang Donglai also came to Xu Songyao's office.
When Wang Donglai walked in, the three of them stood up.
"Donglai, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Yin from Zhongwei, and this is Academician Hao from Tangdu University of Electronic Science and Technology."
Xu Songyao immediately introduced the two to Wang Donglai. people.
"Mr. Yin, Academician Hao!"
Wang Donglai nodded and shouted at the two of them.
“I’ve heard Professor Wang’s name for a long time, and when I saw him today, he was truly extraordinary. He is truly a hero from a young age!”
Yin Zhiyao was very enthusiastic and immediately came up and praised Wang Donglai.
"Thank you, Mr. Yin." Wang Donglai replied with a faint smile.
"Good boy, if I had known you could achieve such great results later, I should have taken you away directly."
Hao Tao had a smile on his face at this time , said with a hint of regret.
“That’s not possible!”
Before Wang Dong could speak, Xu Songyao stood up and said to Hao Tao.
In the office, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Because everyone present knew that this was Hao Tao expressing his respect for Wang Donglai, and that sentence was more joking than serious.
As for Xu Songyao, this is even more true. He directly showed his support for Wang Donglai and was also building momentum for Wang Donglai.
After all, there is an outsider Yin Zhiyao here.
Yin Zhiyao knew this very well, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't hear it.
After sitting down, Yin Zhiyao couldn't wait to look at Wang Donglai and said: "Professor Wang, I heard that you have designed a brand new lithium ion etching plan, can you let me take a look?" "Here" , with Principal Xu and Principal Hao from your school here, Professor Wang doesn’t have to worry that this plan will be leaked, not to mention our Zhongwei Company is also a semiconductor company rooted in China, so it still has credibility.”
“If this plan is indeed feasible, I can make a decision and get it done right away. Plan to buy it.”
“Professor Wang, what do you think?”
Neither Xu Songyao nor Hao Tao spoke, leaving the decision-making power to Wang Donglai.
Hearing what Yin Zhiyao said, Wang Donglai smiled softly and said, "Mr. Yin, this is not urgent. I heard that Mr. Yin worked in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years, and worked at Intel, I have worked in large international companies such as Lam and Applied Materials. I wonder if you can introduce the situation of semiconductors, such as How big is the gap between domestic companies and foreign companies in terms of production processes, and how many deficiencies do we have in our country? "
The semiconductor industry has too many upstream and downstream industries, and there are also many More confidential information, if you are not senior executives in related industries, you will not know at all.
So, when Wang Donglai knew that Yin Zhiyao appeared, he thought about this problem.
Yin Zhiyao was a little surprised. After taking a closer look at Wang Donglai, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "It seems that Professor Wang is quite interested in semiconductors."
"Are you interested in coming to our Zhongwei company? I can say that in China, our company is the first-class in this industry."
Originally, Yin Zhiyao wanted to recruit Wang Donglai, but at this time he heard that Wang Donglai was interested in semiconductors. Interested, I immediately sent out an invitation.
However, he did not notice the way Xu Songyao and Hao Tao looked at him, as if they were looking at a fool.
"Mr. Yin, I am indeed very interested in semiconductors. In today's era, chips have been everywhere around our lives. It can be said that chips are the crystallization of technology in today's generation and the ceiling in the field of human manufacturing. Its status will become more and more important as time goes by.”
“And we have the largest population in the world. If we want to lead a well-off life for all people as soon as possible, we must be in the semiconductor industry. Gain the right to speak and enhance our competitiveness.”
Although Wang Donglai's words were calm, they sounded like the sound of gold and iron to the ears of the three people, sonorous and powerful.
Yin Zhiyao clapped his hands suddenly and said with excitement: "Okay, Professor Wang's words are good and insightful! Just based on Professor Wang's words, it should be clear."< br>
“When I returned to China, I had the same mentality as Professor Wang. I had seen the high technology and high level abroad. Naturally, I didn’t want to see the country lagging so far behind, so no one was there. Even though I had no money and no policy, I still started Zhongwei Company.”
“Fortunately, in the past few years, I have developed Zhongwei Company to a first-class level in the country with my passion.”< br>
“It would be great if there were more high-level talents in China who think the same as Professor Wang. I believe we can catch up with the level of the West, or even surpass them!”
The more he talked, the more excited Yin Zhiyao became, his eyes bright, looking at Wang Donglai eagerly.
If you were a young person, your blood might really boil and your head would get excited by Yin Zhiyao’s words.
But Wang Donglai is not!
It’s hard to say how much truth or falsehood Yin Zhiyao’s words are. There is some truth, but not necessarily much.
His identity is more of a boss than a scholar and researcher.
Therefore, these words are actually occupying the moral high ground, and want to use this method to invisibly improve one's moral status.
The benefits are also obvious. When it comes to talking about price, publicity, or interacting with people, you will get preferential treatment.
He knew what Yin Zhiyao was doing, and Wang Donglai didn't show it.
"Mr. Yin, how many years is our current level behind developed countries?"
At this time, Xu Songyao asked aloud.
Yin Zhiyao pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Semiconductors have many branches and the situation is more complicated. In some fields, our country only has a decade or so of technological accumulation, while in others there is a gap of twenty or thirty years, but there are also In this field, our country has reached the forefront of the world.”
“In fact, half of it. The conductor industry is very important, and the country has begun to pay attention to it. "
"It is the core of many industrial equipment and is widely used in core fields such as computers, consumer electronics, network communications, and automotive electronics. It mainly consists of four components, integrated circuits account for about 81%, photoelectric devices Parts account for 10%, discrete devices account for about 6%, and sensors account for about 3%. Therefore, semiconductors and integrated circuits are usually equated. "
"Integrated circuits are mainly divided into four categories according to product types. Microprocessors, memories, logic devices, and analog devices account for 18%, 23%, 27%, 13%. ”
“These are just the simplest basic situations, and the work I have done has been done in several companies such as Fanlin, Applied Materials, and Dongjin Electronics. It is semiconductor etching equipment, which is just one part of the semiconductor industry.”
"I guess none of you have been exposed to this industry in detail, so I will tell you more."
"A chip as big as a fingernail requires quite a lot of manufacturing processes. It is precisely because of this that It will be called the pinnacle of industrial manufacturing.”
< br>"The most upstream of semiconductors are IC design companies and silicon wafer manufacturing companies. IC design companies design circuit diagrams according to customer needs, and silicon wafer manufacturing companies use polysilicon as raw materials to manufacture silicon wafers. IC manufacturing companies in the midstream The main task is to make the IC design public The circuit diagram designed by the company is transplanted onto the wafer produced by the silicon wafer manufacturing company. The completed wafer is then taken to the downstream IC packaging and testing factory for packaging and testing, and a chip is manufactured. ”
“It seems simple, but every process is extremely complicated. Rigorous and complex. ”
“The research and development of etching equipment that I am good at is one of the steps in the IC manufacturing process, which is film, photoresist, development, etching, and photoresist removal. If you do it ten times, it’s done.”
“But even for the equipment required for this small step, our country cannot catch up with the world’s first-class level.”
“Of course, although the etching step is small, the importance of the equipment is still very high. High.”
When Yin Zhiyao introduced and explained, Hao Tao also became interested and started talking.
"Mr. Yin is still a little modest. Etching equipment is not simple. As far as I know, among the most difficult equipment in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, there is etching equipment. Although it is not as good as the photolithography machine, it is still Not bad."
"And the companies that Mr. Yin works for are the best in the field of etching equipment, and they are also the only three major international manufacturers that can produce high-grade etching equipment."< br>
"Mr. Yin has worked in all three companies, and his positions are not low. They are all core figures. I have absolute reasons to believe that Mr. Yin is the reason why these three companies have developed so fast in etching equipment. The results are in it.”
“So, Mr. Yin will be able to return to China in a few years. I am actually not surprised that Zhongwei has developed to its current level, and I am even more optimistic about Zhongwei’s future development prospects. As long as Mr. Yin is still here, Zhongwei’s future performance will definitely not be bad!”
Hao Tao almost told the whole story about Yin Zhiyao in a few words.
"Academician Hao has received the award. I can only say that I am trying my best to do more for the country."
"The etching process is still very important for chip manufacturing. If the equipment cannot be made in China, If you do, your neck will always be stuck.”
"Although it is impossible to localize all processes, I must do it to localize etching equipment! This is the only thing I can do for the country."
Yin Zhiyao spoke calmly, revealing He said firmly.
After saying these words, Yin Zhiyao turned his attention to Wang Donglai and said: "Fortunately, with the emergence of a genius like Professor Wang, our country will have successors. The more important the semiconductor industry is, the more important we will be." More talents are needed to study and localize these technologies and equipment to avoid Western patent barriers, lest they choke our necks and hinder our development. "
“Speaking of which, no one is an outsider. The profit margin of the semiconductor industry exceeds many people’s imagination, and our country spends hundreds of billions of funds on purchases every year. A large part of it is because we cannot localize it, so we can only Being passively slaughtered.”
“If we localize a piece of equipment, our country will be stronger and our wealth will be less lost.”
"So, the plan in Professor Wang's hands is really important!"
At the end, Yin Zhiyao turned the topic to the plan designed by Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai took out a document from his bag without writing any ink and said, "Mr. Yin, this document is the plan I designed. You might as well take a look."
Tone Calmly and confidently, he handed over the document.
