Chapter 468 Lithography Machine

The National Day holiday is finally over!

On October 10th, the company went to work normally, and the school officially resumed classes. The atmosphere of the National Day gradually cooled down. Qin Yuanqing also asked his parents to take a private plane back to Ludao.

And Qin Yuanqing also shifted the focus to the school, focusing on scientific research.

"Now that Huaxin has almost developed, it's time to exchange for a top-level lithography machine!" Qin Yuanqing focused on the lithography machine.

As we all know, a lithography machine is one of the core equipment for chip manufacturing, and chips cannot be manufactured without a lithography machine.The lithography machine has always been China's biggest shortcoming in semiconductor equipment manufacturing, and the high-end lithography machines required by domestic fabs are completely dependent on imports.

High-end lithography machines are the biggest shortcoming of Huaxia's semiconductor equipment manufacturing. Naturally, everyone hopes to solve this problem and make Huaxia truly a semiconductor manufacturing powerhouse. However, until now, Huaxia still suffers from lithography machines.

Because wanting to develop a lithography machine requires two foundations-top light sources and lenses.

Therefore, Europe, the United States, and Dongying have the basis for developing lithography machines. Until today, only Zeiss can provide lenses for EUV, and only American Light Source can meet the requirements of EUA.

Another more important prerequisite is the promotion of chip companies. In the years when Japan’s semiconductor industry was booming, Nikon and Canon’s lithography machines were once the mainstream in the market, and Intel’s 45nm process still used Nikon’s lithography machines.

Dongying manufacturers fell behind due to some reasons, and ASML received a total of 2009 billion US dollars from Intel, Samsung and TSMC to support ASML in 52, making ASML require money, resources and resources, so it quickly became a monopoly giant in the industry.

Therefore, judging from the development of ASML, lithography machines are already an industry in which the entire industry chain is deeply involved. It is not enough to have money alone, but must be closely integrated with lenses, light sources and fabs.

Those Internet giants claim to invest tens of billions in semiconductors, but no one is optimistic about it, because this thing needs money!
"I don't know what it means to want to get stuck on a high-end lithography machine!" Qin Yuanqing sneered.

Lithography machines, middle and low-end lithography machines Huaxia has already mastered, so China has never been short of mid-to-low-end chips, and the mid-to-low-end chips independently produced by Huaxia are also very low in price and the profits are very thin.

What China lacks is high-end lithography machines. This part of the related technology is still within the patent protection period, and ASML has already established a patent ratio. You can buy it, you have to submit an application, and you have to queue up after the application is approved.

And for some reason, Huaxia buys a high-end lithography machine at a price of 3 to 5 million US dollars.

Therefore, the production capacity and price of high-end chips have always remained high.

For others, it is simply too difficult to circumvent patent barriers and re-develop new light sources and lenses, but for Qin Yuanqing, it is simply too simple.

There are so many kinds of light waves, the EUV light source wavelength is 13.5nm, and the process node is 7-3nm.Other light sources can be selected, the wavelength is further shortened, and the process node is shortened to 1nm.

The 1nm process is the theoretical limit of silicon chips.

Don't forget, that's a silicon chip, not a carbon-based chip. Under the same manufacturing process, a carbon-based chip is much more advanced than a silicon-based chip.Even, carbon-based chips can reach 0.1nm!

No matter how Qin Yuanqing thought about it, he couldn't understand it. Huaxia had already submitted a batch of quantum computers. How could anyone think that Huaxia could not produce high-end lithography machines and high-end chips.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yuanqing exchanged the full set of ASML lithography machine technology, and after a little research, after a little improvement in the light source and lens, the new lithography machine technology is even more advanced than ASML's most advanced lithography machine today. many.

This most advanced lithography machine, the process can reach 1nm, it can be said that ASML's EUA lithography machine has been thrown out by a large margin.

"Even without the big killer of carbon-based chips, the 1nm chips produced by this lithography machine alone are enough to sweep ASML into the garbage dump of history." Qin Yuanqing is full of confidence in this, as if seeing a company with a market value of more than 3000 The billion-dollar technology giant once again staged the scene of the collapse of the Nokia empire, and lost without knowing why.

After ASML issued the announcement, Qin Yuanqing had already sentenced ASML to death.

Who gave him the courage to think that he could do whatever he wanted without paying the price?

Qin Yuanqing thought that many people would see the general trend of history clearly and make wise choices.But the facts have proved that a small group of people who can see the general trend of history clearly are the real heroes, and more people are actually just at a loss.

There are so few hundred-year-old shops in the world. One of the important reasons is that the waves of the times wash away the sand.

Qin Yuanqing solved the lithography machine technology, and then updated a WeChat Weibo update:
"The world's most advanced lithography machine technology has been officially conquered by me!"

As soon as Qin Yuanqing's WeChat and Weibo were updated, there was a sudden wave of waves, and the information spread quickly.

If someone else, even a well-known Huaxia professor said this, then everyone would just scoff at it, thinking that someone was grandstanding and trying to gain attention and traffic.

But this is what Qin Yuanqing said, so it's different.

After ten years of accumulation, Qin Yuanqing is no longer just three characters, nor just a person's name, but also represents authority and trustworthiness!

"Fuck~~ I read it right, right? The high-end lithography machine has been conquered just like that?"

"When I woke up, I found that the world was different!"

"Why didn't academician Qin study the lithography machine earlier? If it was solved earlier, it wouldn't cost tens of billions of dollars to import the lithography machine every year!"

"AMSL is doomed this time, I've sold my stock! (gloating)"

"Heaven's evil is still alive, but self-inflicted evil is impossible! This sentence is perfectly interpreted!"

"Seeing Academician Qin say that the lithography machine technology has been solved, I am relaxed physically and mentally, and I have no doubts at all!"

"Upstairs, you don't have to doubt, you are right to choose to trust!"

"Woo~~ The country is prosperous, no one can stop it! Our goal is the sea of ​​stars!"

"I have already decided to devote myself to the semiconductor manufacturing industry! I will borrow one billion from my dad later to start a business!"

"."

It has to be said that the opening of the fourth industrial revolution has indeed brought unimaginable development opportunities to China. The whole society is full of vitality, and the industrial structure is improving and improving at a speed that can be discerned by the naked eye.

Every year, a large number of new companies are born, young entrepreneurs step onto the stage of history, and a group of factory owners who have not had time to adapt to this fast-growing and changing society fail to manage well and go bankrupt.

The mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry has become a large taxpayer and a large profit-making household. The proportion of the mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry has obviously increased rapidly, and its role in China's economy has become more and more obvious.

The upgrading of the manufacturing industry has led to the improvement of national strength, and the improvement of national strength has also led to the improvement of national self-confidence.

Every Chinese person is full of firm confidence in the revival of China.

Qin Yuanqing just updated WeChat and Weibo, and the result was that the mobile phone was going to explode, and the calls were one after another. Qin Yuanqing was so annoyed that he turned off the mobile phone directly, and went to the study to practice calligraphy.

"Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold!"

Qin Yuanqing picked up the brush and wrote these two sentences on the rice paper.

After Qin Yuanqing waited for the ink to dry, he hung it up. For some characters he was satisfied with, Qin Yuanqing would store them, and for some characters he was not satisfied with, he would destroy them.

"You still want to practice handwriting, it's a mess outside!" When Jing Tian came back, he saw Qin Yuanqing admiring his handwriting, and said angrily: "You turned off your mobile phone, but all the calls came to me, more than 100 A phone call is really annoying."

Qin Yuanqing turned off the phone, and he was quiet. In addition, the house was heavily guarded, and ordinary people could not enter.

But this is a pain for Jingtian, the landline and mobile phone ring constantly, all kinds of inquiries and connections.

Jing Tian has been confused, and those who can call her are either not low-level or business leaders, and they cannot be easily offended.

After working for a long time, she realized that Qin Yuanqing released a big satellite, conquered high-end lithography machine technology, and caused a tsunami in the semiconductor industry.

A WeChat Weibo caused a tsunami in the industry, and only Qin Yuanqing had this ability.

"Have you really conquered the lithography machine?" Jing Tian couldn't help asking.

"Well, in fact, the lithography machine is not that difficult!" Qin Yuan smiled lightly: "You will know when you have applied for all the patents."

Once the technology has been overcome, the next step is to apply for a patent, build its own patent barriers, and lock others.

The dragon slaying warrior will eventually become a dragon!
"Oh, overseas semiconductor-related stocks are probably going to plummet!" Jing Tian can already imagine that when the overseas stock market opens, those semiconductor stocks will fall endlessly.

"Heaven's evil is still alive, but self-inflicted evil is not enough! Since you have done something wrong, you have to pay the price!" Qin Yuan smiled lightly.

He doesn't care about the life and death of those enterprises. They have made a lot of money these years, and none of them are fattened from the huge profits.

But now, the world is upside down and the situation is changing, it is time to pay the price.

"If you have a friend holding this stock, you should throw it away as much as possible. After a while, Huaxin will be listed and switch to Huaxin shares!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Huaxin has finally turned losses into profits this year. Relying on the huge demand for Huaxia chips and chip foundry, Huaxin has become the world's third largest semiconductor manufacturing company in one fell swoop. If there is no accident, it will surpass Samsung this year and become the world's largest semiconductor manufacturing company. second largest.

Naturally, Huaxin will go public to raise more capital investment, and this is destined to be a giant with a market value of more than 5000 billion yuan.

Qin Yuanqing now holds 10% of Huaxia's shares, so he naturally knows Huaxin's listing plan.

And his lithography machine technology is also intended to be licensed to Huaxin, after all, the fat and water will not flow to outsiders.
