Chapter 459: Exposure of the True Purity of Wafers Shocks the Industry

Hao Qiang ended his work of shorting US stocks in Hong Kong and returned to his home in Shenzhen to be with his wife and children.

Han Qingying's pregnant belly is already quite obvious, and her due date is set at the end of March next year.

She was beaming with happiness, and from time to time she stroked her belly, sharing the joy of fetal movement with Hao Qiang.

There are two children in the house, all full of laughter and joy, and the whole villa is filled with happiness.

The National Day holiday is coming as scheduled, and Future Technology Group will also take a few days off.

Two years ago, a luxury yacht that Hao Qiang booked was finally delivered in September this year.

This three-deck semi-displacement motorboat named "CARPEDIEM" is the water palace that Hao Qiang carefully purchased for his family.

The yacht adopts an all-aluminum alloy hull, with a total length of 58.2 meters, a beam of 10.2 meters and a total tonnage of 729 tons.

It not only has an elegant appearance, but also has excellent performance. Its maximum speed can reach 21 knots and its cruising speed is stable at 17 knots, ensuring both speed and comfort.

During the holiday, Hao Qiang took his whole family on this brand new yacht for a pleasant trip along the waters around the Pearl River.

The weather in early October is just right, sunny and mild, neither too hot nor too cold.

The sun shines gently on the sparkling river surface, and the breeze blows across your face, bringing a hint of coolness.

The yacht is fully equipped with all necessary entertainment facilities.

The two children were playing on the deck, sometimes admiring the river scenery, and sometimes swimming happily in the small swimming pool on the boat.

Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing sat on the lounge chairs under the parasol, watching the children play quietly, with happy smiles on their faces.

Hao Qiang occasionally goes surfing. When he gets tired, he lies on the boat to bask in the sun and close his eyes to rest.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't want to disturb the young man and didn't follow.

As night falls, the yacht anchors in a quiet harbor.

The deck was filled with a sumptuous dinner, and the family happily enjoyed the food and chatted about family matters.

The dim lights of the city in the distance complement the starry sky, forming a moving picture.

"Brother Qiang, it would be great if Sister Han was also pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. We would have two twins in the family." Qiu Yuqing said to Hao Qiang who was sitting on the sofa with a little anticipation.

Generally, an ultrasound examination can be performed around 6 weeks of pregnancy to determine whether it is a single baby or twins. Han Qingying checked and found that it was twins, but she didn't know whether they were twins, a boy and a girl, or twins.

Han Qingying touched her belly, looking forward to it: "I also want twins, a boy and a girl, but it's hard to say, I'll just go with the flow."

"Well, let it be. They are our children anyway." Hao Qiang said he didn't care.

Although he doesn't have to take care of the child, the child is too attached to him and he can't take care of him.

If you don't teach your children, what's the point of having so many?

Three days later, the family had enough fun and returned home.

In these few days,

Hao Qiang finally figured out what technology to choose as the third technology in the level 9 technology store, and ultimately chose the flying car.

The first item is naturally the solid-state lithium metal battery.

Item 2: Advanced algorithms and supercomputers.

As for the last technology, he hasn't decided which one to choose.

Regarding advanced algorithms, it is worth mentioning that Hao Qiang also strengthened his computer studies during his university years, and he has a unique and profound understanding of algorithms.

In his view, algorithms are like "magic formulas" for solving problems. They can break down complex problems into orderly steps and ultimately obtain elegant solutions.

Most people tend to feel unfamiliar and confused when they mention the word "algorithm".

In fact, the concept of algorithm is everywhere in our daily life.

For example, calculate the sum from 1 to 100.

Ordinary people who don’t understand the formula may choose to add numbers one by one, but they can use the arithmetic sequence summation formula Sn=n(a1+an)/2 to easily get the result.

Behind this seemingly simple formula is also the embodiment of algorithmic thinking.

The cornerstone of algorithms is mathematics, and excellent algorithms cannot be separated from solid mathematical foundation.

In the field of traditional computer science, Hao Qiang is familiar with all kinds of classic algorithms.

Whether it is a sorting algorithm for sorting data or a search algorithm for finding a specific value in a large amount of data;

Whether it is a graph algorithm that solves the shortest path problem or a dynamic programming algorithm that solves the problem by breaking it down into subproblems;

He is able to skillfully use greedy algorithms that pursue local optimal solutions and backtracking algorithms that find solutions through trial and error, and apply them flexibly in actual projects.

With the vigorous development of artificial intelligence technology, the scope of algorithms is also expanding.

Therefore, it is not enough to just master traditional algorithms.

Artificial intelligence is the development direction of future technology groups, and its significance is self-evident.

The vehicle-mounted systems and intelligent manufacturing systems of new energy vehicles are inseparable from artificial intelligence.

Of course, Hao Qiang wants to focus on the development of artificial intelligence, which requires mastering more advanced and sophisticated algorithms.

There are many algorithms related to artificial intelligence, including machine learning algorithms, deep learning algorithms, reinforcement learning algorithms, natural language processing algorithms, optimization algorithms, and image processing algorithms.

This is also part of the technology in the Level 9 Technology Store, the advanced algorithm.

This thing is a bit profound, but it looks very high-end to outsiders.

For example, deep learning algorithms include convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), generative adversarial networks (GAN), and autoencoders.

Convolutional neural networks excel at image recognition and can automatically learn the features of images. Recurrent neural networks are particularly well-suited for processing sequential data, such as text and speech.

If Hao Qiang did not have a thinking ability of 27, learning and understanding these algorithms would be really a headache.

His brain is integrated with the application skills of these algorithms, and he can use them with ease. No matter what the problem is, he can use the most appropriate algorithm.

This is exactly the same as understanding the Thirty-Six Stratagems and applying them skillfully.

After selecting the three technologies, new scientific research tasks emerged: solid-state lithium metal batteries, supercomputers and flying cars.

However, it is better to deal with the chip issue first.

10 month 8 day,

Future Technology Group has returned to normal work. Hao Qiang's financial team has completed the margin trading and sold all stocks worth US$90 billion, obtaining US$90.5 billion in cash.

The completion of the sell-off also means that the layout work is completed.

10 month 10 day,

At ten o'clock in the morning, gentle sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Hao Qiang's desk.

Hao Qiang was the first to announce the company's latest wafer achievements on "Today's Headlines," with a striking headline: "Shocking: Future Technology Group achieves major breakthrough in monocrystalline silicon purity, with mass production purity reaching 11N!"

The report quickly took over the front page of the headlines and was pushed to all registered users.

It’s our own APP, you can play it however you want.

When netizens saw this information, they were all curious and filled with questions: "Why would Today's Headlines push such a big news? Could there really be such an astonishing breakthrough?"

However, after seeing this news, colleagues in the semiconductor industry almost burst into laughter, thinking that it was simply nonsense.

“11N?!”

They couldn't help but think to themselves, "You wish! How can this be possible?"

In their opinion, reaching the purity of 11N for single crystal silicon is simply a fantasy, and they scolded the editor for not being professional and writing nonsense.

but,

An hour later, Future Technology Group officially announced: "Our company has made a major breakthrough in the research and development of monocrystalline silicon purity, with mass production purity reaching 11N!"

Hao Qiang also released the news on his Weibo and Toutiao accounts simultaneously.

After the chip is on the market, the purity of the silicon wafer will definitely not be concealed, so it is better to announce it earlier.

Let’s first use single crystal silicon to test the reactions of semiconductor peers and the United States.

really,

This news was like a bombshell, instantly attracting widespread attention from both inside and outside the industry.

When this news spread across the Internet, practitioners in the semiconductor industry were shocked.

On social media, the comment section was instantly flooded with reactions.

"Impossible!" a senior engineer in the semiconductor industry replied excitedly.

"11N is too exaggerated. Hao Qiang and Future Technology Group may have reported it wrongly." Another industry expert bluntly expressed doubts about whether this was a false propaganda.

Insiders believe that such purity is almost impossible to achieve at this stage.

Outsiders don’t understand what “11N” really means, but after looking up information, they know that the current “7N” is already world-class.

Some time ago, Future Technology Group announced a breakthrough in "8N", which shocked the semiconductor industry.

14nm process chips usually require 9N or higher purity single crystal silicon.

The purity has reached 11N, which is enough for 3nm process chips.

The chips produced will be more than ten years ahead of the current top chips.

Therefore, as soon as the report came out, voices of doubt and surprise intertwined in the comment section, creating a heated atmosphere of discussion.

Some people even started looking through relevant materials to find out what 11N stands for.

The final result is: black technology!

If this is true, then the semiconductor industry has really changed.

Others remain skeptical, believing it's just a commercial gimmick.

Others have just mastered the mass production of 6N, and you have already directly achieved 11N, skipping 5 generations!

This is just a dimensionality reduction attack.

In fact, this is not Hao Qiang’s fault.

The technology he mastered started with 11N, which was actually only at the world-class level in 2023, and was only more than ten years ahead.

We are 5 generations ahead, but semiconductors are developing very fast, and it has only been a dozen years.

As the discussion deepened, more media outlets began to pay attention to the incident, reprinting reports and trying to uncover the truth behind it.

In the end, is it true?

Is it possible that Hao Qiang is deliberately hyping it up?

With his reputation as the world's richest man, he shouldn't do this.

Hao Qiang's move not only made Future Technology Group the focus of public opinion, but also shocked the entire semiconductor industry.

In this era of rapid information dissemination, Hao Qiang ignited enthusiasm and debate within and outside the industry with a piece of news.

of course,

Everyone is questioning its authenticity.

Less than an hour after Hao Qiang announced the news about 11N monocrystalline silicon, Wei Hong, a senior provincial leader, couldn't wait to call him.

On the other end of the phone, Wei Hong's voice was filled with disbelief and shock.

"Mr. Hao, this news you've released is truly unbelievable." Wei Hong recalled the scene from his last inspection. "I remember it was only 8N purity back then, right?"

There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in his tone.

Hao Qiang heard Wei Hong's caution and a smug smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He responded lightly: "Leader, I want to apologize to you first for hiding something from you last time.

To be honest, we have already developed 11N monocrystalline silicon, but we just couldn’t disclose it to the public before.”

"Oh? Is that true?" Wei Hong was obviously shocked by Hao Qiang's words.

As a senior provincial leader, he is knowledgeable and experienced, but he remains cautious and respectful of such technological breakthroughs.

"It's absolutely true!" Hao Qiang said with a smile. "I'm an expert in this industry. How could I hype something like this?"

Wei Hong pondered for a moment, and finally decided to go to Future Technology Group in person to confirm: "This matter is too outrageous, I feel like I am dreaming.

Why don't I go to your company this afternoon to take a look, so that I won't be able to explain it clearly when the boss asks me about it later."

He had to be cautious about news of such a technological breakthrough.

You know, this is not just an ordinary technological advancement, but a major breakthrough that may change the entire semiconductor industry landscape.

The last breakthrough in 8N wafers has already caused a sensation in the industry, and now the purity of 11N is simply earth-shattering.

what does this mean?

This means that Future Technology Group may have already reached the commanding heights of global semiconductor technology.

Wei Hong could imagine that it would not be long before leaders at the national level would inquire about this major breakthrough.

This is no longer just a technological advancement of one company, but a national event that concerns the country's scientific and technological strength and industrial competitiveness.

"You are welcome at any time. Leader, please be mentally prepared." Hao Qiang only announced a piece of news temporarily. He has not yet announced the EDA software, EBL lithography machine and chips.

Let the bullets fly for a while, then launch a missile bombardment, and there will be bigger ones later.

After hanging up the phone, Hao Qiang no longer took it seriously.

What is this?

From today on, the world is led by him.

The technology in level 8 and level 9 technology stores is already powerful enough to cause industry changes, not to mention that there will be more advanced technologies in the future.

Of course, Hao Qiang also knew how this news would shock the entire industry and even the entire country's technology community.

But at this moment, he felt more of a sense of pride and excitement that came from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Future Technology Group is standing at the forefront of technological innovation and is about to show the world the superb level of the company's semiconductor technology.

The storm is finally coming!
