Chapter 238 Mr. Zhang, I have the technical information of the step scanning projection exposure machine!
At this time, refreshments were served one after another.
Su Cheng put a bowl of dry-fried beef river into his own small bowl and took a few bites. The taste was quite authentic. I guess the people in charge of the kitchen came from Guangdong Province.
After the waiter left the box and closed the door, Su Cheng continued: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is having a hard time at Texas Instruments now?"
"It should be North Korea. Brother Ye told you, right? Yes, I entered the semiconductor industry at the age of 24 and joined Texas Instruments at the age of 27. In Texas Instruments, I successively served as the general manager of the integrated circuit department, vice president and senior vice president of Texas Instruments. President, starting from six years ago, it can be said that besides the chairman and president, I am the third person in charge of Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments has 60,000 employees worldwide, and I manage half of them!
Unfortunately, these are useless after all.
I have a very deep understanding of the semiconductor industry, so I know that this industry will definitely be one of the most important industries in the technology field in the future, so I have always hoped that the company will increase its investment in the semiconductor industry.
However, because Mr. Xia Bai, the president of our company, pays more attention to consumer electronics products, he invests all the company's funds in this area, while the semiconductor industry has reduced investment year after year. Although I object, it is of no use at all. After all, I am only the third person in Texas Instruments and cannot decide the company's investment direction. The board of directors will always support Mr. Xia Bai.
Although I have always been uncompromising, I mentioned this matter in every meeting, even on different occasions inside and outside the company, but the result was always opposition. If I hadn’t made great contributions to Texas Instruments, I guess they kicked me out of the company a long time ago! ”
When mentioning this matter, Zhang Zhongmou seemed to be a resentful woman and started talking in the box.
“I very much agree with what Mr. Zhang said. Semiconductors will definitely be one of the most important industries in the future. As long as it is an electronic product, it will involve semiconductors, even the automotive industry, medical equipment, etc., and it will all be related to semiconductors in the future. Closely related, it can be said that semiconductors will be at the top of the technology industry chain in the future, the core of the core," Su Cheng said with great agreement.
"I didn't expect Mr. Su to have such a far-sighted vision at such a young age. No wonder you have such a big career at your age. It's really the waves behind the Yangtze River that push the waves ahead!" Zhang Zhongmou looked at Su Cheng in surprise and said .
“I intend to open a semiconductor company, and we already have a lot of leading semiconductor technologies. I wonder if Mr. Zhang is interested in leaving Texas Instruments and coming to build a world-class semiconductor company with me?” Su Cheng It was a direct showdown.
"Sorry, Mr. Su, your invitation is too sudden. Although I am not happy with the senior management of Texas Instruments, I am at least the third person in Texas Instruments. As a world-class company, Texas Instruments, you Do you think there is any reason for me to give up and choose to go to a start-up company?" Zhang Zhongmou refused directly.
Su Cheng knew that it was impossible to take him into his own hands with just one sentence, so he continued: "Mr. Zhang, you should be very aware of the discriminatory culture in the beautiful country, right? Do you think you can still work at Texas Instruments?" Going further? "
If Su Cheng had no idea of taking Zhang Zhongmou into his own hands, according to historical development, Zhang Zhongmou would have stayed at Texas Instruments until 1983, when he saw no hope, he left Texas. instrument.
This shows that he has very deep feelings for this company that he has struggled for half his life.
“Yes, Zhongmou, I have been working at IBM longer than you, but in the end, I was forced to leave. In the beautiful country, they foreigners naturally look down on us Chinese, and the company’s board of directors does not care at all. Maybe if we Chinese people are in the upper management, the vice president is basically at the end. These are not the most important. The most important thing is that when you have differences with the company, you don’t get support. That’s what I feel most uncomfortable about. Things, so I advise you to think about it carefully!" Yang Chaoye said with a smile after adding tea to the two of them.
Yang Chaoye is a veteran, so he naturally knows what Zhang Zhongmou is thinking.
Because when he was at IBM, he also imagined that one day he would be able to ascend to the position of CEO of IBM.
However, until his hair turned white and his sixtieth birthday passed, he still did not get what he wanted. Yang Chaoye believed that his achievements were no less than those of the current president, and his talents were no less than his, but Yang Chaoye was ultimately let down.
So, he didn’t want Zhang Zhongmou to continue on his old path. In the end, he found that not only was he not taken seriously, but the development strategy he proposed was also ignored.
This ending is the most uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhongmou drank a cup of tea and was silent for a long time before continuing: "I know very well what you said, but I still have a sense of luck in my heart. What if I can succeed? I have struggled here for most of my life and regard Texas Instruments as my I look at my family just to make it better. Unfortunately, I can’t be the master, so I try my best to change everything and hope that it can become better.”
“The head of the family, It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it right, but when you are ostracized in this big family and all your efforts are not recognized, I think it is time to leave this big family and set up another company,” Yang Chaoye said profoundly.
Zhang Zhongmou stopped talking, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup and drank it, continued pouring, continued drinking...
Every time he thought of these things, he became very irritable.
Seeing him like this, Su Cheng knew something was up.
"Mr. Zhang, I have technical information on the step scanning projection exposure machine, which can reduce the line width of integrated circuit graphics from 0.5m to 0.35m nodes or even smaller!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
Nowadays, the lithography machines used internationally are basically distributed and repeated projection exposure machines, and the minimum line width of integrated circuit diagrams reaches 0.5m, which can be said to very constrain the development of the chip industry.
If the photolithography machine goes further, then semiconductor companies will be able to design more advanced chips and carve more integrated circuits on a small chip, and the performance will change dramatically.
Sioux City has more advanced lithography machine technology, but now is not the time to bring it out, it must be done step by step.
So, taking out the step-scan projection exposure machine that appeared in the 1980s is the best choice.
"Mr. Su, where did you get this information? As far as I know, international photolithography companies are researching this aspect, especially SVGL. It is said that there has been good progress, but it is far away from researching it. Will it take a long time to come out?" Zhang Zhongmou asked in surprise.
As a big boss in the semiconductor industry, he naturally knows what the step scanning projection exposure machine represents.
So, Zhang Zhongmou was a little uneasy.
Since Oracle computers can be built, he did not doubt that Su Cheng would lie.
