Chapter 612: If You Have Bullets, You Also Need A Gun
noon.
After lunch.
Lu Yi and his party returned to the hotel and rested for a while.
afternoon.
They also want to meet He Rongming, the head of Shanghai Microelectronics, and Yin Zhiyao, the founder of Longwei Semiconductor.
Speaking of these two people, they are also great god-level figures.
year 2002.
He Rongming, then the executive vice president of Shanghai Electric Corporation, was assigned by his superiors to establish Shanghai Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. in Zhangjiang, Pudong, and started the research and development of domestic lithography machines.
After more than ten years of development, Shanghai Microelectronics has made proud achievements and has fully mastered advanced technologies in high-end intelligent manufacturing fields such as advanced packaging lithography machines and high-brightness LED lithography machines.
It is even more dominant in the field of advanced packaging lithography machines, occupying more than 80% of the domestic market and more than 30% of the international market.
Although in terms of technical strength, it is far inferior to ASML.
But it has also become a business card that can be used in the domestic semiconductor field.
And Yin Zhiyao is a legend among the great masters in the field of etching.
When he was a graduate student at Peking University, Yin Zhiyao saw a computer for the first time.
This computer was huge in size, with about 120,000 electron tubes filled in two 5-story buildings. 170 The memory was only 128Kb in size. However, its performance was considered the first in Longguo at that time, which made Yin Zhiyao feel guilty at that time. Made waves.
After completing graduate school, Yin Zhiyao went to the University of California, Los Angeles for further studies.
His outstanding ability was noticed by Intel, and he then started working.
But what really made Yin Zhiyao famous was his training of the three giants of the United States and Japan.
It can be said.
Yin Zhiyao has worked in North America for 20 years, and has established three global etching machine giants: Lam, Applied Materials, and Dongjing Electronics.
then.
Intel invited Yin Zhiyao to help LamResearch test the dielectric etching machine.
After some research.
Yin Zhiyao found that its technology was not mature and gave suggestions for improvement.
The Lam research team recognized it very much and pulled Yin Zhiyao over.
5 years.
Lam has become the largest etching machine company in the world, and its competitiveness can be said to be outstanding.
later.
Because there were problems with Lam's internal management, Yin Zhiyao was poached by Applied Materials, which was out of breath.
This is another 13 years.
Later, Applied Materials also became the world's first etching machine company.
As for Dongjing Electronics, Yin Zhiyao taught them the etching machine when he was still at Lam.
year 2004.
Yin Zhiyao, 60, gave up everything and returned to China with a team of 15 people to start a business, focusing on etching machines.
Yin Zhiyao said: We have made wedding dresses for foreign countries for too many years, and it is time to contribute to the Dragon Kingdom.
And then there it is.
Under the leadership of Yin Zhiyao.
Longwei Semiconductor Company, after more than ten years of development.
The 5nm high-precision etching machine developed by the team led by Yin Zhiyao is already at the world's leading level, directly breaking the monopoly of North American technology.
Yin Zhiyao, who has been in North America for many years, naturally knows the control of intellectual property rights in North America.
So when he came back, he didn't bring the USB hard drive or computer drawings.
It can be said that we built the etching machine with nothing, which gave us more chances of winning on the road to the rise of Long Guoxin.
The only Longguo company that makes North America fearful in its semiconductor protection plan is Longwei Semiconductor. It is Longwei Semiconductor that has single-handedly fought against the three North American technology giants in intellectual property lawsuits for 11 years without defeat.
visible.
How awesome is Yin Zhiyao!
We want to solve the problem of overseas chips being stuck.
It's not enough to just have bullets (which can be designed by oneself), but there must also be a gun (to produce chips) that can fire the bullets.
so.
This time the partner.
Not only Loongson International, a chip fab, needs to be involved.
Shanghai Microelectronics and Long Micro Semiconductor also need to join in.
these two companies.
They are all indispensable companies for manufacturing ‘guns’!
Put Loongson International, Shanghai Microelectronics and Longwei Semiconductor into the same boat.
It is equivalent to opening up the upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chains of the domestic semiconductor industry system (downstream design, midstream wafer manufacturing, upstream equipment and materials).
Currently in the domestic semiconductor industry.
Because of the existence of Blue Star Electronics, Pangu Semiconductor, and Loongson International.
Therefore, in terms of mid-stream and downstream design and wafer manufacturing, we are not far behind overseas.
What is really restricted is the upstream area.
This time, Lu Yi is determined to unite with the top semiconductor companies in the country to get through this last shortcoming and get rid of overseas technical constraints.
Even if.
It doesn't matter if there is a gap in technology between ASML and ASML.
At least.
At that time, there is no need to worry about ASML and TiMC being cut off.
Our ancestors have an old saying that is very insightful.
I have food in my hands and don’t panic in my heart.
If I don't have this thing in my hand, I won't feel at ease.
on the contrary.
With this thing in hand, it doesn't matter even if you are a little bit behind or a little behind.
The most important thing is to feel at ease in your heart.
at the same time.
We can also see hope of catching up.
The most feared.
There is just no hope!
And currently.
Although the country has begun to pay attention to the development of the semiconductor industry, its attention is actually very limited.
Just like Shanghai Microelectronics.
There are reports from previous lives.
In the past 10 years, Shanghai Microelectronics' research and development expenses have only been a mere 600 million yuan.
If you want to develop a photolithography machine, how can you get enough?
A photolithography machine weighs at least a hundred tons and has almost 100,000 parts. This amount of money is really too little.
But even so.
Shanghai Microelectronics also withstood the pressure and successfully developed 90nm and 110nm lithography machines.
This is also in the Dragon Kingdom.
If in other countries.
With such little research and development expenses, the relevant companies may just give up and quit. .
