In the semiconductor industry chain, according to importance, it is divided into supporting industry chain, core industry chain and terminal industry chain.
The core industry chain is chip design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.
For the chip manufacturing process, raw materials, consumables, equipment, and auxiliary manufacturing systems support the industry chain.
There is a saying in semiconductors: "One generation of equipment, one generation of technology, one generation of devices." The level of equipment, consumables, and technical personnel together determines the highest level of chip manufacturing for this company and even this country. level, it shows how important the equipment is.
The etching machine is one of the three core equipments in the chip manufacturing process, so the level of the etching machine determines the highest level of chip manufacturing to a certain extent.
The reactive ion etching method designed before Wang Donglai was delivered to Zhongwei helped Zhongwei get out of the predicament.
It is precisely because of this that Yin Zhiyao is so approachable in front of Wang Donglai.
At this moment, after listening to Wang Donglai's words, Yin Zhiyao fell into thinking.
He completely understood what Wang Donglai meant.
"Professor Wang, I understand what you mean."
"Then I would like to ask, what is Professor Wang going to do?"
Yin Zhiyao looked at Wang Donglai with confusion and asked.
"It seems that Mr. Yin has misunderstood. I'm afraid Mr. Yin thinks that I said this to acquire your company, right?" Wang Donglai just glanced at Yin Zhiyao and guessed what he was thinking, and even [Insight ] are not used.
“If this is not the case, what is Professor Wang going to do?”
“I am not boasting, Zhongwei is the leader in both the domestic etching machine field and the MOCVD field. One of the best.”
"Professor Wang is also very clear about the importance of etching machines. If we really want to improve the level of the domestic semiconductor industry, etching machines are a problem that cannot be overcome."
"Judging from the current market situation , I don’t think there is any company that can catch up in this field in a short time.”
Yin Zhiyao said this with great confidence.
He has this confidence.
Zhongwei was established in 2004, only eleven years ago, and it has grown rapidly.
At present, although the annual main business income is not high, Yin Zhiyao is confident that he can increase it.
In response to Yin Zhiyao's words, Wang Donglai nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Yin is right. In the field of domestic etching machines, Zhongwei does have the strongest technology. If we want to localize it, we will definitely not be able to bypass your company."
"According to Moore According to the law, the number of transistors in the same area doubles every eighteen months. The continuous improvement of chip manufacturing levels will cause the size of transistors to continue to shrink, so chip manufacturing companies will want to Try your best to put more transistors in a small space and increase the number of transistors on the chip, so as to defeat competitors with products with more powerful performance. "
"In the process of continuous shrinkage of transistor size, the width of This is the core issue. In order to achieve smaller line width, photolithography machines and etching machines play a decisive role. ”
"Lithography machines are more complex, so don't think too much about it for the time being, but because of your company, the gap between etching machines is not too far."
"So, my idea is to form a domestic semiconductor alliance, Or we can call it an association.”
“Let’s work together to overcome various problems in the semiconductor industry based on the expertise of each company.”
“Of course. , if it is just a verbal alliance or association, it does not mean much, and they may not trust each other."
Hearing this, Yin Zhiyao nodded and interjected: "Mr. Wang is right, in Shangyan. Shang, no matter how great a dream is, it needs to be based on reality. If an alliance and association can accomplish such a big thing, things in this world will be simple.”
"So, how is Mr. Wang going to deal with this problem?"
Wang Donglai laughed softly and said: "It's very simple, interests are tied up!"
"I know your company is so After investing a large amount of money in R&D for many years, we were unable to make ends meet, so we had no choice but to use MOCVD as a breakthrough. Two profit lines to maintain the company’s survival.”
“If Mr. Yin is interested, Galaxy Technology can inject capital and ensure that Zhongwei’s personnel and R&D will not be changed or restricted.”
"The specific amount and shares can be discussed. I wonder what Mr. Yin wants?"
Yin Zhiyao was not surprised by Wang Donglai's suggestion.
Since he founded Zhongwei, he has been favored by investment banks. Since its development, it has received several financings.
So, he is not opposed to financing.
As for Wang Donglai’s investment in Galaxy Technology, Yin Zhiyao also thought quickly in his mind.
Galaxy Technology has money and technology.
With the boss Wang Donglai here, he doesn't need to worry about too many things.
If he were just a scientific researcher, he would not hesitate at all. After Wang Dong finished speaking, he would agree immediately.
However, in addition to being a scientific researcher, he is also the boss.
The rush on the Internet is not about buying and selling.
If you act too proactively, you will only lose the initiative in bargaining.
However, just as Yin Zhiyao was thinking about it, Wang Donglai spoke again.
"Mr. Yin, two billion, 51% of the shares!"
When Yin Zhiyao was about to retort, Wang Donglai said immediately: "Besides, in The company will also provide some help in terms of technology research and development. Mr. Yin can think about it carefully."
Yin Zhiyao was a little silent.
Two billion, in exchange for 51% of Zhongwei’s shares, is a bit low.
But coupled with Wang Donglai's last sentence, Yin Zhiyao became confused.
Reactive ion etching has proven that Wang Donglai can also make achievements in the field of etching machines.
Coupled with the advanced packaging in front of us, this is further proven.
Yin Zhiyao can also imagine that with Wang Donglai’s scientific research assistance, greater breakthroughs will inevitably be made in the field of etching machines.
At that time, although control has been lost, the benefits will be greater.
"Huh!"
Yin Zhiyao took a long breath, his expression became serious, and he said loudly: "Mr. Wang, you should know that Zhongwei can develop with the full support from above. If you want to complete the share transfer, you still need to report it to the superiors!”
“With my heart! , In fact, I am inclined to cooperate, but I have no choice but to think about it from above.”
“This matter is of great importance, and I am afraid that communication and discussion between the company and the above will be needed to achieve results. "
Hearing that Yin Zhiyao's tone was inclined to agree, Wang Donglai nodded.
"This matter is not urgent. This set of advanced packaging design solutions still needs time to be tape-out and tested. Mr. Yin can wait for the results to come out before making a decision."
Yin Zhiyao asked curiously: "Mr. Wang Contact SMIC for testing?”
Wang Donglai shook his head. Said: "No, I am contacting Mr. Zhang from Xinsheng Semiconductor."
"In this case, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Wang. After I go back, I will report to the superiors and tell them what happened today. Report on the matter."
Yin Zhiyao nodded and said.
…
The next day.
Before Wang Donglai and Chen Lingyue went to Xinsheng Semiconductor, Zhang Rujing had already arrived at the hotel.
Looking excited and full of expectation.
The packaging design of the semi-finished product is like the temptation of a sumptuous Manchu-Han banquet for gourmets.
For almost a whole night, Zhang Rujing did not sleep well.
I am always thinking about the packaging design.
When Zhang Rujing thought about seeing the complete packaging design plan the next day, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Even the original idea of rejecting Wang Donglai’s cooperation proposal has softened a bit.
"Mr. Zhang, you can just wait at the company, why did you come to the hotel!"
When he saw Zhang Rujing, Wang Donglai couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face and said aloud. "Whoever knows about this packaging design plan will be like me. Who makes you make such an excellent design plan!"
Before seeing Wang Donglai, Zhang Rujing still had some doubts He was anxious, but after meeting him, Zhang Rujing was no longer so anxious.
Wang Donglai smiled and said nothing nonsense. He immediately took out his completed packaging design plan and handed it to Zhang Rujing.
Zhang Rujing looked around, then sat on the sofa in the hotel and started reading.
"Wonderful!"
"Why didn't I think of that!"
"Hiss..."
While watching, Zhang Rujing kept making exclamations from his mouth.
Half an hour passed before Zhang Rujing stood up with excitement on his face and eyes shining brightly.
"Professor Wang, you are amazing!"
"This is really a genius invention!"
"With this packaging design plan, I am afraid that the performance of our domestic chips can really be improved. Go to the next level."
"But Professor Wang, have you thought about how to deal with this technology?"
"Whether it is to be licensed or sold, or whether to keep it? In your hand?”
After talking about it, Zhang Rujing's expression became serious and she asked aloud.
"Mr. Zhang, you are a senior, you might as well give me some advice!"
Wang Donglai heard Zhang Rujing ask this, so he followed the conversation and asked Zhang Rujing what he thought.
Zhang Rujing did not refuse. After pondering for a while, he said aloud: "In my opinion, the current domestic semiconductor level is far behind the international first-class level in all aspects. This packaging design is very good, if it is only for personal use. If so, it would be a bit of a waste . ”
“It is better to maximize the benefits and patent this design solution in exchange for a large amount of patent fees from major manufacturers such as Qualcomm, or in exchange for some patent authorizations, thereby accelerating the development of domestic semiconductors. R&D.”
"This is just the idea of an old man like me. Just listen to it. If you think it makes sense, just listen. If you have other ideas and considerations, just do it according to your own ideas."
"The development of the times now Too soon, I, an old man, have fallen behind, and the future belongs to you young people."
Zhang Rujing said at the end, with a hint of loneliness in his tone.
No matter what his past achievements were, now that he saw the packaging design plan Wang Donglai came up with, he knew that he was old.
"Mr. Zhang, you are not behind the times. We have been able to develop because of seniors like you who opened the way in front of us. You must not underestimate the achievements we have made."
< br>
Wang Donglai naturally understood Zhang Rujing's inner thoughts, so he comforted him with a smile.
"It seems that I am really old, and I am still sad for spring and autumn."
Shaking his head and laughing at himself, Zhang Rujing became serious again, looked at Wang Donglai and said: " Are you sure you really want me to take this package design plan to test the flow? Aren’t you worried about the film?”
“If you can’t trust Mr. Zhang, then I’m afraid no one in this industry can trust you.”
“What’s more, it’s just a package. It’s just a design plan, nothing!”
Wang Donglai acted extremely confident and said calmly.
"Okay, then just wait for my good news!" Zhang Rujing was also a little impatient to test the effect of this package design.
After chatting for a while again and rejecting Zhang Rujing’s invitation, Wang Donglai prepared to fly back to Tangdu.
……
On the plane.
Wang Donglai seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he opened the system panel.

[In progress...]
The reason why the panel was opened was because of the prompt sound coming from the system.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for raising the [Physics] subject level to lv6."
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill [Gold Finger]."
After acquiring the [Memory Palace] ability, Wang Donglai almost became a walking library.
With many skills and abilities such as [Speed Reading], [Photographic Memory], [Brain Overclocking] and [Memory Palace], Wang Donglai’s speed of gaining experience points through reading is not due to the huge experience points required for improvement. And it slowed down, even a little faster than before.
So, on the system panel, many disciplines have reached LV5 and are about to break through LV6.
When he breaks through LV6, several magical skills and abilities will be added to Wang Donglai again.
With a thought in his mind, Wang Donglai checked the information of [Golden Finger].
[Goldfinger: The world is in motion. This skill allows players to study the material structure of the world and understand material interactions and movement laws. 】
【Note: This skill has a powerful effect and the player level is still low, so it can only be used once a month, and points will be consumed according to the situation. 】
Seeing the system’s introduction to this new skill, Wang Donglai suddenly became excited.
He never expected that such a powerful skill would appear when the [Physics] discipline reached LV6.
In the eyes of outsiders, the system’s description of this skill may be vague.
However, those who have a little knowledge of physics will know how powerful this skill is.
Study the structure of matter and understand the interaction and movement laws of matter.
This is almost equivalent to opening a super physics plug-in.
Many physicists in history still needed instruments and superhuman talents to achieve results.
But with this skill, Wang Donglai doesn't need these things.
For example, the apple does not need to fall on his head. As long as he sees it and activates the skill directly, he can directly derive the law of gravity.
Wang Donglai was extremely excited at the moment. He took several deep breaths to suppress the excitement in his heart.
“You might as well give it a try!”
Suddenly, Wang Donglai had such an idea. (End of this chapter)
