"Lao Wan, quickly take me to see your remodeled production line. Speed!" Xu Zhenming couldn't wait.

The raw material production technology of monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels has always been controlled in certain European countries. If Yiming Group can produce it, it will be a good thing to fill a gap in China.

"Okay. Haha!" The smile on Wanning Gu's face has not left.With a smile on his head, he led the way and led Xu Zhenming and others to the factory building of the first line of 8-inch silicon wafers.

The equipment in this plant has been installed and installed. The workers are debugging the equipment on a stand-alone machine. They did not stop when they saw Xu Zhenming walking.

"Xiao Wang Xiao Song, you two will go back and transport the assembly tool trolley. This equipment needs to be disassembled and debugged." Li Quan, wearing a helmet, pointed to the drawings in his hand to assign tasks to the workers.

Seeing Xu Zhenming coming, Li Quan was taken aback, "When did you come back?" He smiled and asked Xu Zhenming.They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they wanted to communicate.

"Xu Dong, this split production line designed by Mr. Wan is very advanced, which can save 20% of HCL reagents and reduce the cost a lot." Li Quan pointed to the chemical reactor in front of him and introduced to Xu Zhenming with a smile.

The reagents such as HCL and HF used in silicon wafer factories are all pure chemical products.At present, domestic chemical companies cannot produce them, and all import them from island countries.

The situation at the headquarters is the same as that of Jiangxia Yiming Optics Valley, which is troubled by the problem of chemical raw materials.Not only that, the photoresist of Mingxin Manufacturing Company is also imported from island countries.

All that said, once the islanders caught the chemical reagents, the production line of Yiming Group would also have to be shut down.

After listening to Li Quan's introduction, Xu Zhenming nodded solemnly."The group company is preparing to start the production plan of the chemical industrial park, and it should be eye-catching recently." He assured Wang Ninggu that he would definitely solve the worries about the silicon wafer production line.

Just now, Xu Zhenming secretly settled an account. Yiming Group produces its own chemical reagents, so long as the cost does not exceed 20% of the island country’s products, it can continue.Because Wanninggu can save 20% of the cost, just to offset the extra cost budget for the production of chemical raw materials.

"Xu Dong, this shunt production line is connected to an 8-inch silicon wafer production line, and the scraps of purified silicon wafers are used in this production line. First, it can produce raw materials for monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panels, and second, it can prefabricate optical fibers. Rod provides pure silicon raw material. It can be described as a good thing with two birds with one stone."

Silicon wafers require pure grade monocrystalline silicon, and optical fiber preforms require pure grade silicon dioxide.These two products are put together to produce jointly, the cost is naturally much simpler.

After hearing these words, Xu Zhenming couldn't help but look at Wanning Gu, "Lao Wan deserves to be a world-class material expert, and his ideas are good."

In another time and space, Wanninggu was awarded the American computer science award as a U.S. citizen and was included in the Hall of Fame.His major is material science, focusing on polymer material synthesis technology.Once worked in well-known companies such as TI and Bell Labs.

Xu Zhenming felt that making Wanning Gulai to be responsible for silicon wafer production and R&D was a little overkill.However, he still couldn't find an expert who could replace Wanninggu, so he could only do so.

"Xu Dong, when we walk along this pipeline, we can see the production line of optical fiber preforms." At this time, Huang Li invited Xu Zhenming to visit the production line of optical fiber preforms.

But Xu Zhenming hasn't completed the project schedule of the silicon wafer production line with Wanninggu, how can he let Lao Wan go at will."President Wan, when can you start working on these two lines?" He stopped and asked Wanninggu.

"Report to Dong Xu, before August 30, you can definitely see that we cut our own silicon wafer rods into silicon wafers." Wan Ningguo promised by patting his chest.

Hearing this, Xu Zhenming finally felt relieved.It should be known that the process requirements for making qualified monocrystalline silicon round rods are relatively high, and the 8-inch diameter is the extreme that the current production process can achieve.

The production of single silicon wafer rods is a bit like making maltose. When single crystal silicon is not crystallized, it is in a liquid state.At this time, a single crystal silicon rod is left from the top of the purification furnace to rotate in the single crystal silicon liquid.With the rotation of the single crystal silicon rod, the liquid of the single crystal silicon adsorbs on the single crystal silicon rod to solidify and crystallize.

Single crystal silicon rods are getting thicker and thicker, and the diameter can exceed 8 inches.Due to production technology and process problems, the crystal structure of the part over 8 inches is unreasonable, and the single crystal silicon rod has a curvature.

Such rough prefabricated single crystal silicon rods cannot be used yet, and the outer diameter needs to be polished on a grinder.Then it is sliced ​​on the machine tool to obtain qualified 8-inch silicon wafers.

Although Xu Zhenming is not an expert in this field, he knows the development trend of silicon wafers.He held Wanninggu's right hand and said solemnly, "Mr. Wan, according to my guess, silicon wafers are getting bigger and bigger. 12 inches and 16 inches are the mainstream in the future. We have to work hard."

"I know Dong Xu. Our team's plan is to complete the research and development task of the 8-inch silicon wafer production line this year. We will work on the production technology of 12-inch silicon wafer next year."

With a smile on his face, Wanning Gu officially assured Xu Zhenming that they are confident that they will be at the forefront of the world's technology, and they will take out 12-inch silicon wafers in front of the Americans and islanders.

Hearing this, Xu Zhenming smiled and nodded.

He took out his cell phone on the spot and dialed Gui Changshu's number."President Gui, our group company will be able to supply you with 8-inch silicon wafers from September. You have to take care of our business." After the call was connected, Xu Zhenming immediately began to sell products.

"Don't worry, the banknotes have been prepared for you." At this moment, Gui Changshu laughed heartily from the phone.

He also joked with Xu Zhenming, telling Xu Zhenming not to sell 8-inch silicon wafers at international market prices.

"Don't worry. At that time, international silicon wafers will dive. Islanders and Americans will definitely cut prices. My prices will not be synchronized with international prices. As long as we can guarantee a 15% gross profit, We will ship."

Xu Zhenming is worried that foreigners will use low-price dumping methods to squeeze out Yiming Group, which has just been involved in the production of silicon wafers.He was vaccinated in advance, and he planned to confirm the sales of silicon wafers with Gui Changshu and Song Shitian.

"Foreigners are just like that. I know it in my heart, as do the leaders of the headquarters. In addition, I'll call Lao Song later to help you finalize this matter." At this time, Gui Changshu gave Xu Zhenming a meal on the phone. Reassured.

He has accepted Xu Zhenming's suggestion and agreed to form an alliance between Changgong Group, Huajing Chip Company and Yiming Group Company to advance and retreat together.

With this assurance, Xu Zhenming hung up the phone with peace of mind and said goodbye to Wanning Gu.Soon after, he followed Huang Li and Wu Tianling to the optical fiber preform production workshop.

This production line is actually a chemical production line, and the main raw material is monocrystalline silicon leftover from the silicon wafer production line workshop.Through a series of chemical reactions such as melting, purification and oxidation, single crystal silicon becomes pure silicon dioxide liquid again.

The process of using silicon dioxide to make optical fiber preforms is very similar to that of making single crystal silicon rods, and it is also a gradual crystallization process.The prepared preform is a colorless, transparent silica crystal rod.A single preform can pull out dozens of kilometers of optical fiber.

"Dr. Huang, Dr. Wu, can our company imitate this production line?" After listening to Dr. Huang Li's introduction, Xu Zhenming asked the two experts enthusiastically.

According to his idea, Yiming Group must be able to design and produce this kind of optical fiber preform production line.

Yiming Group has deployed so many silicon wafer production bases across the country, and they should all be used.In a few years, the optical fiber industry is booming, and Yiming Group can provide cheap optical fiber preforms to optical fiber factories across the country.In this kind of industry, Yiming Group can at least dominate the domestic market.

"Xu Dong, there is another material for future optical fibers that is also more critical." At this time, Wu Tianling put forward different opinions.He told Xu Zhenming that the islanders are studying plastic optical fiber and are making good progress.

"Plastic optical fiber is made of high molecular polymer, low cost, and easy to draw into optical fiber. It is also soft, strong, and the diameter of the optical fiber can be amplified, and the continuous loss of optical signal is low. This kind of product has great potential in the future. Therefore, we The direction of the optical fiber R&D center should be biased towards plastic optical fiber."

Wu Tianling believes that plastic optical fibers have a future, and suggested Xu Zhenming to adjust the direction of the research and development strategy of Yiming Lab.

However, Huang Li had objections, "Brother, the technology of polymer chemistry in our country is immature. It will take a long way to reach the step you mentioned." She suggested Xu Zhenming to focus on glass optical fiber. Earn profits before talking.

The views of these two people are reasonable, and Xu Zhenming is not an expert in this area.

He can only make decisions based on his feelings, "Two doctors, we have the cheapest fiber optic preform materials, which can at least occupy the domestic market. Therefore, I think we will continue to focus on glass fiber optics in the future to reduce the cost to at the lowest limit."

Upon hearing this order, Huang Li and Wu Tianling stopped discussing the types of optical fiber materials.Now that the boss has made a decision, they can only work hard in the direction pointed out by the boss.

Wu Tianling took over the task of developing the production of optical fiber preforms on the spot, and strived to come up with a complete set of domestic production line drawings in January 1997.

This set of drawings is different from the internationally popular production line technology process. It uses Yiming Group's silicon wafer production line for joint production.It is like a steel company using tail gas to produce sulfuric acid, which is environmentally friendly and can produce another product with high added value.

Therefore, once Wu Tianling takes out a complete set of domestically produced optical fiber preform production line drawings, the price of optical fiber preforms in the world will instantly plunge.Xu Zhenming also wants to be a maker of optical fiber preforms, so he can control the market price.

Of course, this is an ideal model, and it requires the efforts of Dr. Wu Tianling and Huang Li.

"Xu Dong, wait for our good news with peace of mind!" Huang Li was particularly confident.She said goodbye to Xu Zhenming confidently and dragged Wu Tianling into the optical fiber preform production workshop.

After Xu Zhenming said goodbye to the two men, he failed to return to his office by himself.He was called by He Changlin to the compound of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

He Changlin is responsible for the research and development of the domestic PLC project, and has produced the first prototype of the YM-PCL test machine. I would like to ask Xu Zhenming to take a look and give some comments.

"Xu Donghao, when did you come back?" At this time, Zhang Nyjin smiled and stopped Xu Zhenming, who had just got off the car.He has just returned from a business trip to Huajing Chip Company and has not yet reported to the group company headquarters for the record.

Like Xu Zhenming, Zhang Neojin has been traveling outside for a long time.

He first went to the Longbow Group and helped the Longbow Group to straighten out the production process of three second-hand chip production lines.After Longbow Group's chip Foundry was put into production, he was invited to Huajing Chip Company to support Huajing Company to debug the production line and achieve mass production.

"Xu Dong, the situation of Huajing Chip Company is not optimistic. Sooner or later, their company will be dragged down." Zhang Neojin shook hands with Xu Zhenming while complaining.

He told Xu Zhenming that Huajing Chip Company’s management costs are high.Even if the three chip production lines of 1.5 micron, 1.2 micron and 1.0 micron can reach production, they are losing money.

It is not easy to say Huajing Chip Company. Its predecessor was the 742 factory. After the introduction of island technology, the chips for national color TVs were all produced by this company.This company was Hua Guo’s later IC chip Huangpu Military Academy.Officially because of the 908 project launched, Huajing Chip Company has come to this situation.

"In another time and space, they reorganized their assets and sold them to Hong Kong companies because the production line could not reach full capacity. Now that it has reached full capacity, how could it still not work?"

After listening to Zhang Ndjin’s introduction, Xu Zhenming was puzzled, “It’s just a management problem that can be solved with advanced Foundry production technology. Is there any other problem?”

Seeing Xu Zhenming's surprised look, Zhang Neojin smiled, "Xu Dong. They have no design ability, no learning ability, team members are unwilling to learn, and team members who are willing to learn are unwilling to stay. You said, they still Is there a future?"

"Oh..." Xu Zhenming suddenly realized.The problem of Huajing chip in another time and space has not been solved yet.

Then again, they can't solve this problem well.As a large state-owned enterprise, the wages of front-line workers cannot be adjusted.Workers who are not able to learn are lying on their books of merit, and those who are able to learn cannot get money. Who wants to work?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenming smiled at Zhang Nyujin, "You can start the Jinyuan offensive and dig those good students over."

Xu Zhenming decided to dig the footsteps of Huajing Chip Company to increase the power of Mingxin Manufacturing Company.

In the next 97 years, Yiming Group's semiconductor industry parks all over the country will be completed and put into production, which will require a large number of IC technical personnel.

Not prepared at this time, when will you prepare?

"Hahahaha. I have this intention and I am going to ask you for advice, Xu Dong." After hearing Xu Zhenming's words, Zhang Nyjin burst into laughter.

He told Xu Zhenming that he had already started to move, and had recruited more than a dozen key personnel.

"Xu Dong, I suggest you prepare the funds and acquire Huajing Chip Company at any time."

Zhang Neojin revealed a piece of news to Xu Zhenming, saying that Song Shitian is going to return to the capital and that Huajing Chip Company may restructure.
