Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 1252 America Relents, Asml Exports Lithography Machines To Longguo Continent, And Begins To

"Intel and ASML have reached an agreement to accelerate the development of key next-generation semiconductor manufacturing technologies. 》

"Intel invested 4.1 billion meters of gold in ASML, aiming at 450mm large-size wafers. 》

"SMC has joined forces with ASML and plans to invest 838 million euros in ASML to help ASML develop new technologies. 》

"ASML joint investment plan, Sanxing takes 3% equity. 》

"ASML customer joint investment plan has received a total of 1.38 billion euros in technology research and development funds. 》

"ASML sells 23% stake to Intel, Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Sanxing. In exchange for 3.85 billion euros. 》

Intel, Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Sanxing joined ASML's customer joint investment plan, which is like a meteorite smashing into the lake, setting off huge waves.

The three major semiconductor manufacturers have invested a total of more than 5.2 billion euros in ASML.

This is definitely a huge sum of money.

Enough to maintain ASML's operations and new technology research and development.

Many people in the industry "view this as ASIML's counterattack against Longguo 287" domestic lithography machines.

because.

The technological breakthrough of Longguo's domestic lithography machines will have the greatest impact and threat on whom.

That is undoubtedly ASML.

Ni Kang and Jian Neng, after being beaten to the ground by ASML, lay flat and were smashed.

ASML is the undisputed leader in the current industry.

Faced with the rise of domestically produced lithography machines in Longguo, there is naturally 10,000 reluctances.

But it’s true.

It is certain that Longguo's domestic lithography machine has achieved a major technological breakthrough.

Even if ASML doesn't want to see it, it can only accept it.

In order to defend its position as the top brother in the industry, and at the same time to suppress the rise of Longguo's domestic lithography machines.

ASML must accelerate the progress of EUV research and development and tie Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the three largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world, to its own chariot.

ASML absolutely does not want to see Intel, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. turn to Shanghai Microelectronics.

Why did the photolithography machines of Nicon and Canon decline so quickly?

It is because big customers like Intel completely abandoned the photolithography machines of Nicon and Canon and chose ASML.

Without customers, the lithography machines produced cannot be sold, and there is no motivation to continue R&D and upgrades.

Now what ASML has to do.

It is to stabilize its existing large customers and not let these large customers invest under Shanghai Microelectronics.

at the same time.

Apply for an export license to Longguo Continent as much as possible.

Pull the chip manufacturers from Longguo Continent to his side.

This way.

Shanghai Microelectronics has no customers and its products cannot be sold. Can it continue to engage in research and development?

Now.

Intel becomes the majority shareholder of ASML.

So.

The matter of applying for an export license can be left to Intel.

have to say.

Intel's energy is indeed extraordinary.

It didn't take long.

America Zhengfu, who had been stubborn until now, softened.

It said that ASML can export lithography machines to mainland manufacturers in Longguo, but only old equipment, and the top products are still banned.

Although it is not completely lifted.

But anyway, ASML finally got the export license.

Immediately.

ASML took action here.

Shen Bo, president of ASML Longguo Branch, immediately contacted domestic chip manufacturers and expressed ASML's willingness to export lithography machines to them.

Domestic manufacturers are also very interested in this and intend to purchase ASML's photolithography machines.

Although the lithography machines owned by Nikang and Canon are both being sold at low prices.

But domestic manufacturers are very aware of this.

Although the price of ASML is three times more expensive than that of Nikang and Jianeng for the same type of photolithography machine, the product is indeed easier to use and more cost-effective than Nikang and Jianeng.

Just imagine.

Nikang and Jianeng's lithography machines can produce 200,000 chips a day, with a yield rate of 90%.

ASML's photolithography machine can produce 400,000 chips a day, with a yield rate of 95%.

What would you choose?

Even if the price is three times more expensive, I will definitely choose ASML's photolithography machine.

Previously, I chose lithography machines from Nikang and Jianeng because ASML did not export lithography machines to mainland manufacturers in Longguo. There was no other way.

Now that the ban has been lifted, I am naturally more willing to choose ASML's lithography machine.

therefore.

With ASML getting an export license, even if it's just an export license for older equipment.

Following Shen Bo's contact, most domestic chip manufacturers expressed their intention to purchase.

As for the photolithography machines of Nikang and Jianeng?

Don’t buy any dogs!

Although ASML only exports older equipment, it is sufficient for most domestic manufacturers.

Except for smartphones, PCs and other industries that require high-end chips, most industries only require very low manufacturing processes.

FFLX.

A general photolithography machine can meet the needs.

ASML's lithography machines are indeed three times more expensive, but their production efficiency and product yield are higher than those of Nicon and Canon.

Originally, low-end chips followed a path of large volume, small profits but quick turnover.

ASML's low-end lithography machines obviously have more advantages.

As domestic chip manufacturers have canceled orders one after another [the market places orders for ASML.

Ni Kang and Jianeng cried and fainted in the toilet...

Damn it.

I originally planned to take advantage of the last window period to make a quick buck in the Dragon Kingdom mainland market.

result.

ASML actually obtained an export license and can export used equipment to Longguo mainland manufacturers.

This time.

Just smashed all their pots and pans.

When the chip manufacturers in Longguo Continent saw that ASML could be exported, they abandoned them and went to ASML. The presidents of Ni Kang and Jianeng were so angry that they vomited blood.

Shanghai Microelectronics.

We also learned that ASML can export old equipment to mainland manufacturers.

We also learned that Shen Bo, the president of ASML Longguo Branch, is currently attacking in all directions.

Many domestic chip manufacturers have placed orders with ASML.

Even Loongson International ordered two DUV lithography machines from ASML.

For Loongson International, the problem of photolithography machines that restricted its development and growth has been solved.

Moreover, with the investment of Huachang and Bluestar Electronics, not only advanced process technology has been brought to Loongson International, but also a large amount of liquid cash.

Now that we have money, we also have technology.

Naturally, it is time to expand production lines and compete for the market with semiconductor manufacturers such as Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Sanxing, and Micron.

The expansion of the production line naturally requires new photolithography machines.

Although the equipment on the Shanghai Microelectronics side is limited to Long International.

However, the lithography equipment at Shanghai Microelectronics uses a 28nm process and is one of the most advanced lithography equipment currently.

Loongson International's expanded production line and production plan did not require such advanced lithography equipment, so it ordered two 45nm process lithography equipment from ASML.

No more than 1.7.

Loongson International purchases photolithography machines from ASML, which still makes the employees of Shanghai Microelectronics a little unhappy.

Of course.

Loongson International also knows that doing this will make Shanghai Microelectronics unhappy.

therefore.

I also quickly placed an order with Shanghai Microelectronics.

Now Huachang and Bluestar Electronics have become the major shareholders of Loongson International, and both companies have already broken up with Semiconductor Semiconductor.

So.

The production of smartphone chips for the two companies can only be left to Loongson International.

This requires the most advanced photolithography machine.

The verification work of the prototype is nearing completion and it can be finalized for mass production.

This needs to be left to Shanghai Microelectronics to complete.

Since its establishment in 2002.

R&D expenses of 60 million yuan per year.

Go round and round.

Finally.

Shanghai Microelectronics has ushered in a new life this year.

Received the first order since the establishment of the company. .
