Chapter 117 The international situation is changing, and the cunning Longguo people
Shenzhen City, Tengfei Industrial Park.
After several days of accumulation, there are already 500 kilograms of 98% pure silicon ingots, which is enough to refine polysilicon.
In the steel structure factory of Longxing Silicon Industry, Wei Hua, a golden quality purification technical talent, is directing the crushing of silicon ingots.
Blocks of silicon ingots were crushed into slag and thrown into the secondary purification smelting furnace.
“Heat!”
The temperature of the melting furnace rises.
When the temperature in the furnace reached 325 degrees, Wei Hua continued to direct: "The temperature is enough, add hydrogen chloride gas for secondary purification."
As soon as he finished speaking.
The blue quality talent responsible for controlling the machinery and equipment presses the button, and hydrogen chloride gas is instantly injected into the furnace.
The next second.
The slag in the furnace has changed.
Hydrogen chloride gas is highly acidic. The moment it comes into contact with slag, the silicon ingot slag begins to decompose into hydrogen, trichlorosilane, ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride, silicon tetrachloride and other gases.
Because the machine is sealed, the gases will not leak, and they will enter the next purification area along the pipeline.
Wei Hua stared at the numerical values of the main smelting furnace and shouted without raising his head: "Han Gong, I will leave the gas purification to you."
"No problem."
Han Ming also kept an eye on the machine's values and responded without raising his head.
Both are talents with golden qualities. They are aware of each other's abilities and don't have to worry about the other party messing up.
Wei Hua is responsible for silica purification and silicon ingot purification, while Han Ming is responsible for gas purification and polysilicon growth. Each of them performs their own duties.
After Chen Xing used the "money ability", there are currently six golden talents in Longxing Silicon Factory, 24 purple quality talents, and 230 blue quality talents. .
Nearly three hundred people come to keep the factory running, and it's still a single production line, which is more than enough.
......
When the gas purification furnace reached its peak, Han Ming also directed the blue talents to start lowering the gas temperature in the furnace.
The current gases in the furnace include trichlorosilane, ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride and silicon tetrachloride, of which ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride and silicon tetrachloride are all impurities.
If you want to extract high concentration of trichlorosilane, you need to lower the temperature.
Because the boiling point of trichlorosilane is 32 degrees, and the boiling points of ferric chloride, aluminum trichloride, and silicon tetrachloride are 315 degrees, 180 degrees, and 57 degrees respectively, the gas temperature By lowering the temperature, high-purity trichlorosilane gas that is still at the boiling point can be easily separated.
After the separation of high-concentration trichlorosilane gas is completed, it will all go to the polysilicon growth furnace for secondary heating.
"Han Gong, the gas in the furnace has reached its peak, do you want to heat it?"
Blue quality talent asked.
Standing behind them, Han Ming, who was also paying close attention to the values of the instrument, nodded, raised his voice and said: "Raise the temperature to 500."
"Raise the temperature by 500!"
The blue quality talent repeated.
During industrial operations, repeating the corresponding values allows engineers to determine whether the operator misheard or entered the wrong value, reducing the occurrence of low-level errors.
“The temperature in the furnace is 300!”
“400!”
“500!”
“Add hydrogen to reduce!”
< br>"Hydrogen has been injected!"
"The temperature in the furnace has increased, and the value is 1100 degrees!"
"The temperature in the furnace has increased, and the value is 1100 degrees!"
"Raising!"
"800!"
"900!"
"1000!"
"The temperature in the furnace has reached the target temperature !”
When the temperature in the furnace reached 1100 degrees, Han Ming saw that all the parameters of the equipment were normal and could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no problem with the equipment.
Everything is going well in gas purification.
At a high temperature of 1100 degrees, when high-concentration trichlorosilane encounters hydrogen, silicon, silicon chloride, and silicon tetrachloride will be generated.
At this temperature, only silicon is solid. The continuous high temperature and the reaction of high concentration of trichlorosilane with hydrogen will cause silicon to continue to deposit at the bottom. This is why this high temperature reactor is called polysilicon growth. Furnace, because it can really grow polysilicon!
"According to the production efficiency of this batch of equipment, it should be able to accumulate one hundred kilograms a week, right?"
Han Ming murmured to himself.
The equipment currently used in production is really too backward.
Both the submerged arc furnace and the growth furnace are products from five years ago, and their power and efficiency cannot keep up with the mainstream.
……
The other side.
Kunpeng Company’s Bantian Base Headquarters.
After Ren Guofei left Longxing Technology Company, he immediately fulfilled his promise to Chen Xing and called Wang Ruijun, who was in charge of equipment procurement.
Wang Ruijun’s identity is not simple. He is called Mouse within Kunpeng Company.
Of course, this rat is not that rat. There is no problem with his identity, stance and character, but the industry praises his ability to "steal equipment".
Because the West has always set restrictions on Longguo companies, especially Kunpeng Company, it is basically impossible to buy high-end equipment, but Wang Ruijun changed his mind about purchasing equipment.
Aren’t you restricting the purchase of equipment?
Then let’s buy parts!
Refer to the structure of the old equipment and use new equipment parts to build it piece by piece!
Wang Ruijun’s role is to organize a group of assembly engineers to assemble the parts found from everywhere. This is also the main source of high-end equipment for Kunpeng Company.
“Boss, are you looking for me?”
Wang Ruijun walked into the office. He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
Ren Guofei opened his mailbox, checked the list of equipment sent by Chen Xing, and called to Wang Ruijun: "Come here and take a look at this batch of equipment, and see if you can get some back as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Wang Ruijun He quickly came to Ren Guofei's side and looked at the list of purchased items on the computer screen.
"Ultrafine particle shear mixer, molecular dispersion equipment, reaction kettle, solvent removal machine, photoresist baking oven..."
"Old...Boss, so many equipments?"
Wang Ruijun was stunned for half a second and stuttered a little.
With so much equipment, although he is a "rat", he is not a "camel". Where can he get so much equipment?
"It's a bit too much."
Ren Guofei agreed and continued: "But there's nothing we can do about it. You know how severely restricted Longguo's enterprises are now."
< br>If he hadn't been restricted from purchasing, he would have spent tens of billions to buy equipment. There would be no need to set up a parts assembly department.
Wang Ruijun was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "That's right, I'll try to get the parts one by one. What field are these equipments in? I can arrange for people to purchase them."
"Photoresist production."
"I understand."
"We should try our best to engage in neon island countries or Germany. Equipment performance is the top priority."
"I know."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll forward the email to you. You do your best to do it. Money is definitely not an issue."
"Then I'll do it. Let’s go out first.”
“Wait!”
Wang Ruijun was about to leave when Ren Guofei suddenly stopped him and asked, “Look where you can find small particle accelerators. Get me one too."
Wang Ruijun: "..."
Ultrafine particle shear mixer, molecular dispersion equipment, reaction kettle, solvent removal machine, photoresist baking. Forget about the furnace, he still needs to build a small particle accelerator! Is he Doraemon?
Even if he is Doraemon, he can't take out the particle accelerator!
“Boss Ren, the particle accelerator is too high-end. Even if we have the parts, no one will assemble it!”
"And!"
"Particle accelerators are all customized and cannot be purchased through ordinary channels!"
Wang Ruijun spoke in a serious tone, expressing his helplessness about the particle accelerator. Not a device he could get his hands on.
"Is it so difficult..."
Ren Guofei murmured to himself, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go out first and get the photoresist equipment as much as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Ren."
Wang Ruijun left the office quickly. Ren Guofei also forwarded the mailing list to his mailbox, then took out his mobile phone, opened the address book list and started to shake people. .
Although I don’t know why Chen Xing wants a particle accelerator, since he said he wants it, it must have some use.
As for the price...
Longxing Technology will bear it.
……
At the same time.
Shenzhen star hotel.
Rebus did not rush back to the imperial capital, but first sent an email to Kiran Rao, CEO of the Rice Research Institute of Ancient Elephant Kingdom.
The content of the email is very simple, get the equipment and particle accelerator on the list.
After sending one, he continued to send.
Ruan Xingqiang, CEO of the Yue Monkey Country Scientific Research Institute, Maran Nian, CEO of the Myanmar Scientific Research Institute, Padjongpa Satru, CEO of the Thai Scientific Research Institute...
Southeast Asia where rice companies are deployed, and ancient elephants The management of the country’s research institutes have all received this email.
These local CEOs are also very understanding. They did not ask about the equipment, but directly checked the information and purchased the required equipment.
Most of them are from the middle class. It was Rebus who pulled them into the upper class. Therefore, they also understand that if Rebus does not invest, their status will immediately drop sharply and return to the corresponding level. class.
Neon island country.
Ultrafine particle shear mixer supplier.
Boss Jiro Kimura looked at the equipment reservation email and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Gu Xiangguo...
He endured it!
Guxiang Institute of Technology has something to offer. It is a top institution in the world and it makes sense to train a few science and engineering talents.
But! Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand also study photoresist?
He couldn’t help but want to ask, have you transformed yourself from a tourist country into an industrial country?
If you haven’t transformed yet, why should you buy an ultrafine particle shear mixer?
Supply?
Still not available?
Jiro Kimura pondered for a moment, and then made up his mind: "As long as it is not a dragon country enterprise, it should be able to sell it. Selling a few more devices can also stop the revenue loss."
The United States does not Let the equipment be sold to the Dragon Kingdom, and now it is purchased by companies from the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, Myanmar, Yue Monkey, and Thailand. It is impossible for him not to make money. Businessmen are all rushing to make money.
If it weren't for the pressure from the West, he would have bought 180 units for Longguo Enterprises.
This scene at the ultra-fine particle shear mixer supplier also happened in the offices of CEOs of other equipment suppliers.
Longguo Enterprise is not for sale, right?
Should the ancient Xiangguo enterprise be sold?
Should Myanmar enterprises be sold?
Should Yuehou Enterprise be sold?
The supplier bosses are all hesitating to make a decision. Some of them have actually guessed it, while others choose to act stupid.
As the saying goes.
If you don’t make money, it’s unforgivable!
If the West hadn’t forced suppliers, who wouldn’t want to sell equipment and make money?
However, some particle accelerator manufacturers are confused now. This is the first time they have received orders from Southeast Asia.
CERN European Nuclear Research Center, the deputy director looked at the inquiry email and couldn't help but look at the beautiful assistant beside him and said: "Monkey Country, do you know this country?"
"I don't know."
The beautiful assistant shook her head and continued: "I have never heard of this company. They actually want to buy a particle accelerator?"
"Could it be a state-owned enterprise? "
"It's possible."
"I haven't heard of Houmi Company. It may be endorsed by the state. Otherwise, how could ordinary companies afford the high cost of particle accelerators?"
"Look at the accelerator they are talking about. It is going to be small. Ask for a quote. This may be a good research fund."
"Good director."
Assistant waiting After leaving, the deputy director looked puzzled and called someone to search for the details of "Hou Mi Company".
It’s a bit incredible that an unknown company bought a particle accelerator.
With the fate of Ren Guofei and Rebus, equipment suppliers around the world have varying degrees of confusion these days.
Some of them woke up and reported it.
Some of them pretend to be stupid to make money.
Some of them simply ignored it.
Far away in the United States on the other side of the ocean, some people have already received the news.
Inside the House of Representatives.
An emergency meeting was held.
“Currently, companies from many countries have placed orders for photoresist equipment. I think this matter may be related to Longguo companies.”
“It is impossible for Yuehou local companies to purchase photoresist equipment. I have checked the glue production equipment, it is a foreign-funded enterprise!"
"Who invested in it?"
"Highly likely to be a Longguo enterprise!"
"Sure enough! It’s them, the cunning Longguo people!”
“Should we restrict the export of equipment now?”
“I have tightened the rules to prevent suppliers from selling privately, but some suppliers seem to It has been shipped.”
“Can it be recovered?”
“It’s very difficult, but fortunately, there are only two suppliers.”
"That's good. The photoresist formula and talents must be protected. Also, how is Martina's investigation? Who produced the Qingzhou chip?"
"The Korean Star Group is most likely excluded, and now only the She went to Longxin International, but what I don’t understand is that they don’t have EUV lithography machines and they don’t have production capabilities at all, so why are they pointing the finger at it?”
“No! It is possible to produce it. Do you remember the multiple exposure idea proposed by Dr. Wit? What if Loongson International really mastered it? "
The House of Representatives was silent for a few seconds.
They couldn’t believe that this kind of technology would be mastered by Longguo Enterprises. This was a technology that even their top photolithography professors had not completed!
After a few seconds of silence, the middle-aged man with a hooked nose sitting in the main seat said solemnly: "I have sent people to help Apple develop 14-nanometer chips. It is time to put some pressure on Longxing Technology. If They cannot produce mobile phones normally, which means..."
He paused for a moment and said in a bad tone: "It is indeed Loongson International OEM production, we need to impose sanctions immediately"
"Then tighten up the photoresist equipment first?"
"As soon as possible!"
"I'll have someone do it right away."
They say they are not afraid, but that is impossible. Photoresist is the most important material in the chip production process.
If the photoresist is broken, then Longguo will be equivalent to having the production capacity of semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist collagen materials.
Whether it is the most advanced technology or not, once we have this production capacity, it means that the chip sanctions will be weakened, giving Longguo Semiconductor companies a chance to breathe. This is something that the United States and the West are not willing to see.
While tightening their grip, they are also keeping a close eye on the Longguo market, waiting for Longxing Technology Company’s self-certification.
Once it is confirmed that Longxing Technology Company cannot independently produce chips, Loongson International will suffer a lot.
While the international situation was changing and undercurrents were surging, Chen Xing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and a system prompt rang in his mind.
【Ding! 】
[It has been detected that a new company has been registered in the host. The company attribute is positioned as photoresist. The talent market has opened recruitment of talents in the photoresist field! 】
