Hearing Xu Zhenming and others' remarks, Zhang Neojin was very nervous."Will TI Company sue me?" He muttered to himself, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"Don't worry! All of you experts who come to work in Yiming Group, I will do my best to defend! If foreigners sue you, Yiming Group will fight them to the end!" Xu Zhenming saw Zhang Nyjin's thoughts and comforted him.
For the chip business of Yiming Group, Zhang Nyongjin abandoned his superior life in the United States to start a business in China, and also bet all his fortune on Baomingxin Manufacturing Company. How could Xu Zhenming treat him badly?
Xu Zhenming secretly made up his mind to put an end to the "Mos Mechatronics Prosecution Center International" and "Mos Mechatronics suing Samsung Electronics' Engineer Liang" that occurred in another time and space.Even if a foreigner sued Zhang Nyjin and the group, he would not succumb to let Zhang Nyjin and others resign sadly.
This is what he should do as a boss!
After hearing Xu Zhenming's words, Gui Changshu and other talents realized the importance of chip production technology and the importance of chip production technicians.
"Zhang Zong! Our Longbow Group will provide all-round protection for you experts!"
"Yes! Our Longbow Group won't care about those foreigners! Anyway, they have technically blocked our country, so why bother about them!"
Gui Changshu, Yu Can and Wu Wen also expressed their kind words to comfort Zhang Nyjin.
At this time, Xu Zhenming suddenly remembered: In 1987, an IBM engineer published a paper on "immersion lithography machine".
"Leader Gui! We can't see the process flow below, so it's better to end this tour!" Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming smiled and suggested to Gui Changshu and others.
It takes at least 5 days for a chip to start from wet cleaning, regardless of economic loss.Gui Changshu and others are waiting here, and it will take five days to see the packaged chips.
"Hey..." Thinking of this, Gui Changshu shook his head helplessly, and left Factory No. 1 with Xu Zhenming.
Xu Zhenming had something in his heart, so he greeted them and hurriedly left the compound made by Mingxin.
Not long after, he came to the laboratory in Hu Mingzhen to discuss EUV light source system and immersion lithography machine projects with him.Hu Mingzhen’s laboratory was very lively at this time. He Changlin, who completed the design of the 32-bit single-chip YM-02 chip, was also there.
Since then, Xu Zhenming ordered Hu Mingzhen: "Leader Hu, we will immediately hold a top-secret project meeting!"
Seeing this, Hu Mingzhen felt a little strange, but according to the boss's request, all the key members in the laboratory were called together.
"Everyone! Today's meeting is very important, it can be said to be related to the future of Yiming Lab!" After everyone sat down in the small conference room of the laboratory, Xu Zhenming introduced the development trend of lithography machines in his memory.
Yiming has the first generation of lithography machines of 0.8 and 0.8 microns, but this is only the basis and can only be imitated as a practice.
The third-generation lithography machine uses krypton fluoride as the light source, which can produce chips of 0.35 microns to 0.18 microns;
The fourth-generation lithography machine uses argon fluoride as the light source and adopts the immersion lithography process to produce chips of 0.18 micron-0.065 micron;
The fifth-generation lithography machine uses extreme ultraviolet light as the light source, called EUV lithography machine.This type of lithography machine can manufacture chips of 0.014 microns, 010 microns, 0.007 microns, 6 nanometers, 5 nanometers, 4 nanometers, and even 3 nanometers or less.
"This is the future direction of our lithography machine research and development, and it is also the direction of your scientific research!" At the end, Xu Zhenming asked every backbone in the laboratory to keep confidential.
It can be said that the people who participate in the conference room will be permanent employees of Yiming Group.In this regard, Xu Zhenming decided to learn from the companies in the island countries and gradually build a good platform for employees to stay and work wholeheartedly.
And the idea that he provided is worth hundreds of millions or more!
For example, there were originally three companies producing lithography machines, and there were two in the island country, one is Canon and the other is Nikon.These two companies, precisely because they invested heavily in the research and development of EUV lithography machines, did not pay attention to the immersion process, and suffered huge losses, so they withdrew from the production of lithography machines!
Therefore, Xu Zhenming asked the team members of Hu Mingzhen to immediately start the project to develop the EUV light source system, and immediately start the project to study the "immersion lithography process"!
"Your scientific research results will not be published for the time being. When the product has a good look, we will work on the thesis and the product patent!" Xu Zhenming has repeatedly asked everyone present to keep confidentiality work.
The "immersion lithography process" created the giant company Moss, and it should also be able to create a giant Mingxin manufacturing company.Although the foundation of Mingxin Manufacturing Company is very weak, there are experts such as Hu Mingzhen who are making the base, and then recruiting fresh blood from the country to supplement.The path of domestic chip manufacturing should be good!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming waved his hand comfortably, announcing the end of the meeting.
Although Hu Mingzhen had some questions about Xu Zhenming's ideas, he did not directly express his opposition at the meeting.After the meeting, he invited Xu Zhenming to his office.
"Mr. Xu! The'immersion lithography process' is just an idea. Is this research and development direction correct?" He and the scientists in the island countries have questions about this idea.
"This kind of thinking is definitely correct, you don't have to doubt it! The future chip integration is very high, and the function of artificial intelligence can be realized!"
Xu Zhenming smiled and waved to him when he heard the words, telling him that he must dispel his doubts and put the limited R&D expenses in the right direction.
"It's Mr. Xu!" Hu Mingzhen nodded solemnly, and recorded Xu Zhenming's instructions in a confidential notebook.
Many years later, he became famous and showed this confidential notebook to everyone when he gave a report at Huaqing University.
"Our Yiming Laboratory has determined the leading level as early as February 1, 1996!" He smiled and explained the secret of the success of the domestic lithography machine!
On the other hand, Xu Zhenming finished the R&D task of the lithography machine and once again focused on the debugging of the 0.6-micron chip production line.
Four days later, Li Quan, Wu Wen, Wang Zhanbo and others came to the conference room on the first floor of the R&D building to report the situation.
Xu Zhenming is holding a meeting at this time to discuss the trial production of the 0.8-micron chip production line.
The 32-bit single-chip microcomputer YM-02 chip and the PHS system chip, etc., have been offline. Although they are not packaged, they can already be tested.
But the effect of this test is very bad, the yield rate is less than half.In other words, the 0.8 micron chip production line is not suitable for mass production of chips.
With only half of the yield rate, Yiming Group Company cannot afford to lose, and Huajing Chip Company cannot afford to lose.
Except for Longbow Group's consideration for national defense and security, it can produce at a loss, and it is impossible for the three major domestic chip manufacturers to open production lines to mass produce domestic chips.
Therefore, Xu Zhenming gathered Zhang Ngjin's team, Hu Mingzhen's team, Wanninggu, Guo Liansheng and others, and held this technical discussion meeting in the conference room on the first floor of the R&D building.
Gui Changshu, Yu Can, Song Shitian and Wu Wen, as well as the leaders of the other two chip manufacturing companies, also came to participate in this conference and learn from experience!
"Everyone! I heard that the yield rate of Moss Electrical Co., Ltd. can reach more than 95%. How did they do it?" Xu Zhenming frowned and tapped the conference room with his index finger.
The yield rate of chip manufacturing is also a secret, and all chip Foundry will not make it public.But Moss is able to do chip foundry business, and there is no 95% yield rate.
Their company can't do business at a loss, right?
"Mr. Xu! After this problem occurred, I made a comparison." Seeing the boss raised this question, Zhang Neojin spoke first and compared the production processes of Mingxin Manufacturing Company and Moss Mechanical & Electrical Company.
The first is that the source of raw materials for the wafers is different; the second is that the stability of the power supply in the factory is different; the third is that the purity, temperature, and humidity of the clean room are different; the fourth is that the bad luck between processes is different; the fifth is also It’s very important, because employees have different levels of education.
His information is obtained from various channels through his friends, which is very precious!
"Foundry technology is very important. I am going to immediately improve and write the control program. Please Mr. Xu to support a group of hardware programmers!" Zhang Neojin pushed the glasses frame and proposed new conditions with Xu Zhenming.
Of course Xu Zhenming must support Zhang Nyjin's opinion.
He also knows that with the same lithography machine, each factory can produce different levels of chips.
This is related to Foundry's production process, and it is useless to worry!
At this point, he smiled and looked at Zhang Nyjin, "Zhang! I suggest you immediately set up a laboratory of Mingxin Manufacturing Company. If you want people, I will give you money. If you want money, I will give you money! I hope you can use the 0.6 micron The first generation lithography machine, the manufacturer produces 0.35 micron chips!"
"There is still this kind of technology? No way?"
"I'm an eye-opener today! Our group leader Xu proposed a revolutionary theory!"
"Can chip manufacturing still be fun like this?"
Gui Changshu, Song Shitian, Wu Wen and others disagree with Xu Zhenming's theory.
But at this moment, Zhang Nyjin nodded excitedly: "Mr. Xu! I am confident to create miracles on the 0.6-micron production line! It is certainly no problem to make Longteng 133CPU, even if you make a 200-frequency CPU, it is theoretically possible! "
Zhang Neojin has just returned from the foundry production line of Ti Company in the United States, and many technologies have not yet been developed.Moreover, he is not yet familiar with the 0.8-micron and 0.6-micron chip production lines that he has just taken over, and this situation is normal.
It's like a racer who doesn't understand the performance of his car and can't achieve a state where people and cars are one.
Once the team of Zhang Nyongjin is familiar with the characteristics of these two production lines, it is not impossible to maximize the performance of the equipment!
"My dear! There are so many ways to produce chips!"
"Our company is fortunate to cooperate with Yiming Group, so we can avoid many detours!"
"Teached! After I go back, I will report to the leaders of the headquarters, and Yiming Group will set up a chip manufacturing training school!"
After listening to Zhang Nyjin's introduction, Gui Changshu, Song Shitian and others had a better understanding of chip manufacturing.
At this time, Li Quan and others knocked on the door and reported the situation: "Report Mr. Xu! The 0.6-micron chip production line has been debugged!"
Hearing Xu Zhenming and others' remarks, Zhang Neojin was very nervous."Will TI Company sue me?" He muttered to himself, his expression somewhat unnatural.
"Don't worry! All of you experts who come to work in Yiming Group, I will do my best to defend! If foreigners sue you, Yiming Group will fight them to the end!" Xu Zhenming saw Zhang Nyjin's thoughts and comforted him.
