Chapter 116 Everyone is united, Dragon Kingdom Chip Alliance!
Longxing Technology Company actually has talents in the field of photolithography, and also knows multiple exposure techniques. Ren Guofei's eyes flashed with surprise, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
He was wondering, is it possible... that Loongson International can OEM 14nm chips, but it is actually the technology produced by Chen Xing?
Otherwise, why is Loongson International making such rapid progress?
Most companies in the Dragon Kingdom know the ins and outs of each other, and everyone knows how much the other party has.
This is why Qingzhou chips have been around for so long, but many people are still unsure whether they are manufactured by Loongson International.
If the technology is really produced by Longxing Technology, then Chen Xing’s connections would be terrifying.
Chip design, photoresist, and photolithography technology are all involved. Who knows where the limit of his connections is?
Ren Guofei alone knew academicians such as Qu Cheng, Wang Jirong, Liu Dongsheng, and Wang Dezhi. What about the academicians he knew secretly?
Who is Chen Xing?
Is he really from an ordinary family?
Ren Guofei did not dare to think deeply. He felt that Chen Xing was more and more mysterious. Moreover, he also found out that Lei Bing from the Shencheng Land Bureau personally asked people to plan a base for Longxing Technology Company. This is something ordinary people can do Did it?
Chen Xing’s background became increasingly confusing in Ren Guofei’s eyes.
The other side.
Rebus was also surprised.
He was thinking the same thing as Ren Guofei. He couldn't understand Chen Xing's background. Is this really the boss of an ordinary family?
But if the identity and background are not simple, why is it starting with a copycat machine? Shouldn't it be a direct takeover of a state-owned enterprise?
And when Longxing Technology Company was sanctioned and on the verge of bankruptcy for resisting Gaotong Company, why did no one come to help?
You said Chen Xing has no background? There are a lot of academicians in his laboratory and his connections are everywhere.
You said that Chen Xing has a background? Along the way, he basically relied on himself and never saw anyone helping.
The question of whether he had any background troubled Ren Guofei and Rebus.
Chen Yongze didn’t care what Chen Xing’s background was, as long as his lithography machine could be used, he quickly suggested:
“Mr. Chen, do you think this will work? I’ll lend you the lithography machine. , I won’t charge you any money. Do you think it’s okay if you let my lithography engineers observe the multiple exposure technology?” sex.
“Let me think about it.”
Chen Xing fell into a brief thought.
If the multiple exposure technology is learned, the risk of exposure of Loongson International will increase.
The reason is very simple. The reason why Loongson International is not suspected now is that the West is convinced that they do not have EUV lithography machines, so there is no possibility of producing 14nm chips.
If the multiple exposure technology is leaked and Mi Xixi learns about it, then the secret of Loongson International may not be saved.
But now if we don’t prove ourselves, Loongson International will also be exposed.
If you want to use someone else's lithography machine and don't let someone else's lithography engineers watch it, what would Chen Yong think?
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xing spoke solemnly, looked directly at Chen Yong and said, "Can I trust you?"
He did not rush to answer, but asked the question he was most concerned about. .
Can the two trust each other?
Chen Yong never believed in ghosts and gods, nor did he worship ghosts and gods, but this time, he resolutely raised three fingers and said: "I can swear to God that I will never leak the multiple exposure technology."
“Okay!”
Chen Xing nodded.
If you want to use someone else's lithography machine, it's impossible not to let someone else's lithography engineer watch it. He still understands this human nature.
However, he is not without conditions.
After Chen Yong made the guarantee, Chen Xing expressed his thoughts and said: "Lend me your lithography machine for half a year. After half a year, I will have someone teach you the multiple exposure technology."
The word "you" was used at the end of this sentence. Ren Guofei and Rebs paused and said in unison: "We also have a share?"
"Of course."
Chen Xing smiled , replied: "You can come to help in times of need. I can't burn bridges. We are all dragon country companies. We still have to work hand in hand in the chip field."
They can fight in the commercial field, but the chip field must be consistent with the outside world. , infighting is the stupidest behavior.
People are choking each other, but they are still fighting among themselves?
With this skill, it is better to complete the overtake first, and then slowly fight to the death!
Ren Guofei's eyes showed admiration, and he said with a smile: "The chip field really needs to go hand in hand. Since Chen Yong has produced lithography machines, I, Kunpeng Group, will produce semiconductor silicon for you..."
“Wait a minute, Mr. Ren!”
Chen Xing suddenly interrupted him and said with some embarrassment: “Actually... Actually, our Longxing Technology has also produced semiconductor silicon wafers...”
Ren Guofei: "..."
Rebus: "..."
Duan Yongping: "..."
This meeting was really called a good guy, each one was hidden deep enough, Chen Xing's words also Luo Hao was stunned for half a second, and then asked: "You have made semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist. Do you want to do both?"
"Well, grab it with both hands."
Chen Xing chose to continue confessing.
“Huh——”
Rebus breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had gotten to know Chen Xing again, and said with emotion: “I didn’t expect Mr. Chen to be so ambitious and want to be himself. Swallow the semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist.”
“It’s all forced.”
Chen Xing smiled and said neither humble nor arrogant.
If it were not restricted, who would be willing to spend money on semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist?
Semiconductor silicon wafers are okay, but photoresist has a global market worth tens of billions of dollars. We might as well make money by selling a few more mobile phones.
Although the photoresist market is not very profitable, it really cannot exist without it.
Without photoresist, there would be no chips, and without chips, there would be no mobile phones. Chen Xing was really forced by the West.
"Not to mention, if the semiconductor silicon wafer and photoresist are mastered at the same time, it will not be far from completely conquering chip production."
Rebus agreed with a smile.
The big pie painted by Chen Xing has already made these bosses take the bait.
Luo Hao didn't care about the mess in the wind and quickly expressed his position: "Mr. Chen, besides equipment, what else do you lack? Do you want money? I can invest one billion for you."
One billion funds is already his limit. If it is more, it will not be something he can make a decision on.
Whether it is Hammer Company, Rice Company, or Kunpeng Company, shareholders hold real power.
Not all technology companies are like Longxing Technology, which is 100% controlled by Chen Xing alone.
"Speaking of money."
Chen Xing had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought of the particle accelerator in the lithography factory. He couldn't help but look at everyone and asked: "I have a question. I wonder if all the bosses know about it. Small How much does a particle accelerator cost?”
“Small particle accelerator?”
Duan Yongping was stunned, how can accelerators help the chip industry?
Rebus, Chen Yong, and Luo Hao looked at each other and made eye contact. They didn't understand what this thing was.
"What do you want a particle accelerator for?"
Suddenly. Ren Guofei spoke.
He frowned, full of confusion.
The particle accelerator is not a device in the chip field. If he remembers correctly, it is a device for controlling microscopic particles.
Generally, it is used to achieve particle collisions, explore the basic composition of matter, and study smaller particle structures.
High-energy physics laboratories, medical applications, materials engineering, and archaeological research may all use particle accelerators, but particle accelerators should not be used in the chip field, or in the field of high-tech technology, right?
Is it possible to...
Study controllable nuclear fusion?
Regarding the photolithography factory, Chen Xing did not choose to inform him, but expressed in a vague way: "It is useful for researching new technologies, so I wanted to ask if you can try to help get one."
Seeing that Chen Xing didn't want to say anything, Ren Guofei didn't break the pot and asked for the truth. Instead, he promised: "I'll help you find out. However, particle accelerators are not cheap. Even if they are only the size of a room, they will cost more than one billion."< br>
“Hiss——”
Rebus and others took a breath of cold air.
A machine the size of a room actually costs one billion. Isn’t this more expensive than a photolithography machine?
Chen Xing was stunned for half a second, and was also shocked by the outrageous price. However, when he thought that it was the core equipment for building a "lithography factory", he could only nod and respond: "If it's more than one billion, it's one billion." That’s all. Just keep an eye on it, Mr. Ren. Thank you very much.”
Because the DUV lithography machine uses deep ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 193 nanometers, it can basically manufacture chips below 7 nanometers.
If you want to overtake in corners and slap Western gangsters in the face, you must have the local lithography equipment of the Dragon Kingdom.
To put it another way, in the future, chips will definitely break through below 7 nanometers. Now we are laying out the layout bit by bit and taking precautions, maybe it can help the future development of enterprises.
Buying umbrellas when it rains and charcoal in winter is not Chen Xing’s style.
"Mr. Chen, are you short of money?"
Luo Hao mentioned it again, but he has not entered the game yet.
Kunpeng Company, Rice Company, and Blue and Green Factory have all contributed. If Hammer Company does not spend money, what can he do if he does not have a share in the multiple exposure technology? He also wants to overtake in a corner!
"There is no shortage now. If Mr. Luo has some spare money, he can go with Mr. Lei to get some photoresist equipment and complete a zero-to-one breakthrough together."
< br>Because of the loan of 1.5 billion, Chen Xing is really not short of money.
Even if he recruits silicon industry talents these days, he has only spent less than 150 million, and there is still 850 million in useless working capital.
Luo Hao looked at Rebus expectantly, as if to say: "Let me join in, and I will also lay out the chip production."
Rebus had nothing to do with him, and nodded slightly to indicate that he would lead him. he.
"Mr. Chen, I have a question."
Duan Yongping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Chen Xing: "Mr. Duan, tell me."
"Mr. Chen, you just said that Longxing Technology also has plans in the field of semiconductor silicon wafers. I would like to ask where you are now. ?"
After Duan Yongping finished speaking, he added: "If it is just laid out, I think it is not necessary. Boss Ren and I can supply you with semiconductor silicon wafers."
< br>He considered that the development time of Longxing Technology was too short and could not be deployed for a long time. This was also for the sake of Chen Xing's money.
After all, he has been secretly laying out semiconductor silicon wafers for two years.
It took the blue and green factory two years to barely produce 6-inch semiconductor silicon wafers. Now it has almost conquered 8-inch silicon wafers. As for 12-inch silicon wafers, it is unthinkable.
Hearing this, Ren Guofei also echoed: "Yes, if the entry time is up, you can give up the research and development of the silicon industry and concentrate on photoresist. We will supply the semiconductor silicon wafers."
"No!"
Chen Xing shook his head and responded calmly: "Boss, I need both hands to handle semiconductor wafers and photoresist. The cost of 6-inch and 8-inch wafers is too high. We must do it as soon as possible. 12 inches to keep up with the international level. "
12-inch semiconductor silicon wafer...
Ren Guofei and Duan Yongping looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness and doubt in each other's eyes. .
It’s not that they don’t believe in Chen Xing, but that 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers are too difficult.
6 inches trapped them, 12 inches?
How long will Longxing Technology take?
It is undeniable that Chen Xing has made great achievements in chip design and lithography, but this is industry, and Longguo is an industrial powerhouse. Even Longguo’s other industrial companies have not done it. Can Longxing Technology Company make a breakthrough in a short time?
"In that case." Ren Guofei no longer asked Chen Xing to concentrate on the photoresist, but picked up the tea cup and stood up and said: "Then let's help each other and complete the preliminary closed loop of chip production first?"
"Tea instead of wine?"
Rebus smiled and picked up the tea cup.
Luo Hao, Duan Yongping and Chen Yong also stood up one after another, each holding their own tea cups and responded:
"Let's help each other first."
"Business matters Let’s put it aside for now. We should unanimously disclose the matter to the outside world and not let foreign countries look down upon it.”
“That’s right.”
Chen Xing also picked up the tea cup and stood up. Eyes focused on him.
I saw a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "As you said, let's put aside the business matters for now. Now we are working together to produce chips externally, and leave the photoresist equipment to us. ."
The words just fell.
Drink all the tea in the cup.
Several other bosses did the same and expressed their determination.
In normal business battlefields, they can fight to the death.
But now, the West has come to shit on Longguo’s companies, so why are they still fighting among themselves?
Rebus is not stupid, Ren Guofei is even less stupid, and Duan Yongping, Luo Hao, and Chen Yong are not stupid either. They can still position themselves correctly in the face of national justice.
If Xu Jinshui had not disrupted the situation, Gaotong Company would not have succeeded, and other companies would not have been so passive.
When several people formed an alliance, the bosses of Meilan Company, Lianxiang Company, and Coolpad Company came to visit one after another to express their willingness to form an alliance.
The entire Longguo mobile phone company is like a rope, and no one wants to be the next one to be sanctioned.
When Chen Xing sent them away one by one, he came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, looked into the distance and murmured to himself: "Semiconductor silicon wafers, photoresist, and photolithography factories all need layout, domestically produced Chips still have a long way to go.”
Now Longxing Technology can independently design chips. If it masters chip production, it will achieve a truly closed loop.
11N semiconductor silicon wafers are to be produced.
He also wants to produce photoresist and corresponding supporting reagents.
If you can’t build an EUV lithography machine, then you need to change your mind and build a lithography factory.
As Lin Tian said at the beginning, the lithography machine is a device that emits a stable light source. As long as the light source problem can be solved, it is equivalent to solving the problem of the lithography machine.
Once the lithography factory is completed, it will not be far from purely domestic chips.
On the day when "Purely Domestic Chips" come out, photolithography machine sanctions, raw material sanctions, and various restrictions in the chip field will officially become a piece of waste paper that no one will care about!
