Chapter 108 Domestic Alliance, Longxing Silicon Industry!
If the chip raw materials are stuck, then solve the problem of raw materials.
After Gao Yongming learned that the domestic SOC chip had also been designed, he immediately understood Chen Xing’s intention here.
Because the raw materials have been cut in half, although Longxing International cannot help produce Kaitian baseband chips, it can still secretly help produce SOC God chips.
One light and one dark.
Loongson International must not be exposed.
If Gao Yongming is exposed, the supply of Qingzhou chips will definitely be cut off.
In order to completely solve the silicon wafer problem, Chen Xing decided to go to Shanghai Silicon Group to discuss the production problems.
When Gao Yongming learned that Chen Xing was going to Shanghai Silicon Group, he was not idle. He personally acted as the introducer to the bosses of both parties.
Shanghai Silicon Group.
In the president's office.
Gao Yongming smiled and introduced himself: "Mr. Yu, this is Chen Xing, the president of Longxing Technology Company."
"Mr. Chen, this is Yu Yuehui , the CEO of Shanghai Silicon Group is a local company in Longguo, so we don’t want to be exposed.”
Yu Yuehui is about forty years old, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, tall and thin, and has an overall appearance. A sense of déjà vu as a gentlemanly scumbag.
Chen Xing reached out his hand and said politely: "I have admired Mr. Yu for a long time, and Mr. Gao often mentions you to me."
"Haha, Mr. Chen is so polite, who is it now? I don’t know that there is a young entrepreneur in Shenzhen. I couldn’t even grab the brilliant X1 mobile phone from Longxing Technology!” I want to reserve one for Mr. Yu.”
“You’re welcome.”
The two shook hands and then sat down in the negotiation area of the office.
Before his buttocks were still hot, Yu Yuehui was a person who didn’t like to beat around the bush. While pouring the tea, he asked: "You two came to visit unexpectedly. You must have something to say, right? ”
"Yeah!"
Gao Yongming nodded, he glanced at Chen Xing and said: "Mr. Yu should know that Loongson International and Korean Star Group have been cut off from their 12-inch silicon wafer supply shares, right? "
" I've heard a little bit. "
Yu Yuehui paused and immediately guessed: "The purchase limit for 12-inch silicon wafers is half. Do you want me to provide 8-inch silicon wafers? "
"No!"
Gao Yongming shook his head and said with a smile: "I am not here to buy silicon wafers, but I want to ask how difficult it is to produce 12-inch silicon wafers. Where?”
“Scared me.”
Yu Yuehui smiled and said jokingly: “I thought you were asking me to buy 12-inch silicon wafers. I’m still wondering where to get it.”
“The main thing is to understand.”
Chen Xing said with a smile.
However, Yu Yuehui did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Chen Xing and said: "President Gao is definitely not interested in silicon wafers. Could it be that Mr. Chen is interested in the silicon wafer industry?"
"Well , I'm a little interested, and I just have some spare money." Chen Xing responded lightly.
If you want to completely solve the problem of chip raw materials, you must achieve domestic production.
Chen Xing relied on systematic talents to develop an industry belonging to Longxing Technology, forming a competitive power with Loongson International.
After receiving the exact reply, Yu Yuehui's expression condensed and he gave a friendly reminder: "In addition to the market for 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, there are not many chip foundries using 6-inch and 8-inch silicon wafers. I still I advise Mr. Chen to think twice before taking action.”
The reason why Shanghai Silicon Group is profitable does not entirely rely on semiconductor silicon wafers. The bulk of its profits are photovoltaic silicon wafers.
What is photovoltaic silicon wafer?
Silicon wafers are mainly divided into two levels, one is the semiconductor level and the other is the photovoltaic level.
Semiconductor level, its single crystal silicon purity is 99.9999999%. Only when it reaches 9N, which is the purity of nine nines, can it be called a semiconductor silicon wafer.
The highest level currently is 11N, which is the purity of 11 nines.
This level of silicon wafer has extremely low impurities, with less than 1 impurity atom for every 100 million atoms, which will greatly improve the chip's yield rate.
Generally speaking, the current mainstream uses 11N semiconductor silicon wafers.
As for photovoltaic grade silicon wafers, it only needs to be N6 before it can be used. N9 is its upper limit. If it goes further, it will be semiconductor silicon wafers.
As the name suggests, photovoltaic grade silicon wafer is the key to photovoltaic energy, and solar panels are composed of it.
Although the difference between semiconductor silicon wafers and photovoltaic silicon wafers is only 3 to 5 nines, the purity of these nines has increased the requirements for refining technology many times.
This is similar to silicon wafer production. It is obvious that 6-inch, 8-inch, and 12-inch have the same process, and even the cost is similar, but they have not mastered the production technology of 12-inch silicon wafers.
Chen Xing listened to Yu Yuehui's advice, but he was a carefree man.
System talent is his final trump card. As long as he creates a company with silicon industry attributes, corresponding talents will appear in the talent market.
Technology?
What he lacks most is technology!
As long as the production equipment is not stuck, everything will be easy. If the equipment is stuck, it is a different matter.
Chen Xing organized his words, organized his thoughts and responded: "I'm not afraid to tell Mr. Yu the truth. The Qingzhou chip is produced by Loongson International. You must have guessed that Mr. Gao and I are here. "
Just like Chen Xing guessed, the moment Gao Yongming and Chen Xing appeared at Shanghai Silicon Group, Yu Yuehui had already guessed who manufactured the Qingzhou chip.
He said nothing, waiting for the next step.
Chen Xing paused for a moment and explained the reason why he had to make silicon wafers.
“I said at the press conference that the Qingzhou chip is self-developed and produced by Longxing Technology. The purpose is to deceive others and prevent the secret of Mr. Gao’s Loongson International from being affected.”
< br> "Mixi is very cunning. In order to rule out who manufactured the Qingzhou chip, it asked TSMC to stop manufacturing baseband chips. On the contrary, the raw materials did not restrict me. The purpose is very simple. It must be to test whether Longxing Technology The company has the ability to independently produce chips. "
"Following this, Loongson International and Korean Star Group were restricted from chip production raw materials, making it impossible for them to manufacture large quantities of Kaitian baseband chips. If Kaitian baseband chips cannot be supplied in time, Loongson International is in danger."
The words fell.
Yu Yuehui asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you just buy the chip raw materials and hand them over to Mr. Gao for production?"
"I have naturally thought about this production method. Do you know the engineers that come with the photolithography machine?"
Chen Xing raised a question and explained: "If I buy raw materials from them in large quantities, it will be equivalent to rice. The West said, I want to produce chips, what will those engineers do?”
When the question was raised, Yu Yuehui looked solemn and replied in a deep voice: “They will stare at Loongson International’s lithography. Machine, if there is any slight disturbance, it can be confirmed that it is a Qingzhou chip manufactured by Loongson International, right?"
"That's right!"
Chen Xing nodded and continued: " So we can only use domestic silicon wafers to complete the mass production of chips without the knowledge of Dutch engineers."
"And"
Gao Yongming also spoke. , his expression was equally solemn, and he frowned and said: "If Longxing Technology is proven to have no chip mass production capabilities, MIXI can also target Han Xing Group and me."
MiXiXi's move will be It is equivalent to giving space for self-certification.
Didn’t you say that we research and produce by ourselves?
Let’s see mass production? The 14nm Qingzhou chip can be mass-produced. There should be no pressure on the 28nm Kaitian baseband chip, right?
Once Chen Xing's Longxing Technology fails to self-certify, sanctions against Loongson International will be fully implemented.
"How about I produce some 8-inch silicon wafers and let you guys pick one up first?"
Yu Yuehui suggested again.
He really didn’t want to see Chen Xing come in. Without technology accumulation in the silicon wafer industry, how could it be possible to break through to 12-inch silicon wafers?
With the market value of Longxing Technology, plus the little money earned from selling mobile phones, throwing it all in will not make any splash.
Shanghai Silicon Group has not developed a 12-inch silicon wafer. How can a layman like Longxing Technology Company develop one?
Chen Xing sighed helplessly and continued: "This is just a temporary solution. If we want to solve it once and for all, we can only develop 12-inch silicon wafers. I happen to know a few friends who specialize in this area. Maybe they can There is a way."
"Do you know an expert in this field?"
Yu Yuehui's eyes lit up, he was afraid that Chen Xing would recruit people temporarily.
Anyway, bragging won't kill anyone. Chen Xing thought of Qu Cheng, an academician of both academies, and directly passed the blame on him: "Well, I know a few of them, and Academician Qu Cheng also introduced me to a few professors in related fields. I want to Can we study it together and remove the difficulties of the 12-inch silicon wafer?"
"Is it Qu Cheng, Mr. Qu?"
Yu Yuehui was shocked.
If you have academician connections, you might actually be able to give it a try.
Before Chen Xing could speak, Gao Yongming answered first: "Not only Mr. Qu, but also academicians such as Wang Jirong, Wang Dezhi, Liu Dongsheng, etc. are all in Mr. Chen's chip laboratory."
"No wonder!"
"No wonder!"
Yu Yuehui suddenly realized. While muttering to himself, he finally looked directly at Chen Xing and said: "No wonder Longxing Technology can design the Qingzhou chip. It turns out that He has a background in the Long Institute of Science and Technology. In this case, I have to help.”
They are engaged in the semiconductor industry. Even if Shanghai Silicon Group is only half a semiconductor company, who doesn’t hate Mi West?
Longguo EDA software, which was constantly burning money on research and development ten years ago, has caught up with the three giants Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor, and is now profitable. These three companies announced that they can be used for free worldwide, directly killing 90% of Longguo. Of the EDA software companies, only 10% are still hanging on.
The same is true for semiconductor silicon wafer companies. When they spent money to catch up and mastered the production technology of 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafers, the original 12-inch silicon wafers were directly reduced in price. They were 10% more expensive than 8-inch silicon wafers and 3 times more expensive than bare chips. Output and silicon wafer prices have only increased by 10%. How will chip foundries choose? What would you choose?
If the state had not vigorously supported the photovoltaic industry and laid out photovoltaic power generation matrices in the northwest, semiconductor wafer companies such as Shanghai Silicon Group would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Seeing that Yu Yuehui was persuaded, Chen Xing also stated his purpose: "This time I came to Shanghai Silicon Group. In addition to asking where the bottleneck of 12-inch silicon wafers is, I also want to buy some second-hand production equipment. "
"No!"
Yu Yuehui's eyes showed hatred and he said firmly: "There is no need to use second-hand equipment. I have just received a batch of new equipment and will give it to you for free. Used by Longxing Technology."
"No matter who resists Western sanctions, we, the Shanghai Silicon Group, will definitely help!"
"Hahaha!"
Gao Yongming said He laughed, patted Yu Yuehui on the shoulder and said: "Brother Yu, I knew you would definitely help."
"My brother's company is in trouble, how could I not help? 8-inch silicon wafer Do you want it? At most, I’ll supply it to you at the original price.”
Yu Yuehui said with a faint smile.
Semiconductor companies that can build factories in Shanghai have basically had their identity and background checked, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain low-priced land.
And the photovoltaic silicon wafers of Shanghai Silicon Group are collected by the state and are the main domestic enterprises that lay the photovoltaic matrix in the northwest.
Now that the words have come to this, Gao Yongming said politely: "I definitely want the supply at the original price. Although the 8-inch semiconductor silicon wafer is small, it can be delayed for a while."
"Okay."
Yu Yuehui stood up, walked to his desk, took out the information from the drawer, then handed it to Chen Xing and said:
"This is 12 You can take it back and let the wafer engineers think about it carefully.” .
“That’s right!”
Yu Yuehui sat down again, looked at Chen Xing and said, “Where will that batch of equipment be shipped? Why don’t you write me an address.”
"Mr. Yu, please make a price list for me first. I will buy this batch of equipment with you at the original price. It is not good to always take advantage of others."
Chen Xing replied with a smile.
They have already given away technical bottleneck information unconditionally, and they still want to buy production equipment for free, which seems too greedy.
Favor debts are too difficult to repay.
Yu Yuehui paused. He didn’t expect that Chen Xing would still want to pay him, and then responded: “It’s only tens of millions of dollars in equipment, and it’s not worth much. Just think of it as if I’m also contributing. "Ten million?"
Chen Xing shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Ten million is probably just enough to buy a crystal growth furnace or a slicer."< br>
Yu Yuehui glanced at Chen Xing in surprise, as if to say, you know a lot, so you simply stopped beating around the bush: "A silicon wafer production equipment line requires too much equipment. , how about I sort out the price and send it to your email?”
“Okay.”
Chen Xing also left his email number.
His rule in life is to try not to owe any debts to people that can be solved with money.
Now Longxing Technology Company is not short of money. Just for the piece of land that was applied for, it only needs to go to the bank with the land construction certificate, and it can easily loan hundreds of millions of construction fees, let alone Longxing. The market value of Xing Technology itself has increased.
After exchanging contact information and email numbers, Chen Xing also stood up and stretched out his hand: "I'll leave it to Mr. Yu for the equipment."
"Don't worry, today It can be sorted out in the evening. Since you have academician connections to help you, I believe you can overtake me in a corner and slap Mi Xixi hard in the face for me."
Yu Yuehui stood up and shook hands.
The reason why he can trust Chen Xing so much is largely because of the faces of academicians Qu Cheng and Wang Jirong.
What if someone else comes to him to buy equipment?
Not to mention quasi-new ones, second-hand ones cannot be sold. They have to guarantee their own production capacity. Buy whatever you like!
"Yes."
Chen Xing responded lightly.
Gao Yongming also stood up and said with a smile: "We have more and more members in the Domestic Semiconductor Alliance."
The moment Yu Yuehui learned that Qingzhou chips are produced by Loongson International, and decisively took sides , Shanghai Silicon Group has already been included in the domestic alliance.
The three looked at each other and smiled. Although the road to domestic production is still long, there is no shortage of national enterprises working side by side.
After leaving Shanghai Silicon Group, Chen Xing did not rest for even a moment. Under the supervision of Mi Xixi, time no longer allowed him to rest. He directly took the nearest flight back to Shencheng Company.
