Chapter 709: The Hope of China's Lithography Machine

In front of you are some of the big guys of ASML. ”

"This is Texas Instruments. ”

"And Philips's. ”

"As for the ...... on the left You know, TSMC's Mr. Zhang. ”

As soon as he entered the seminar site, Zhang Rujing introduced a group of bigwigs in the chip field to Chen Yu.

At this time, I probably saw Zhang Rujing, but TSMC Zhang Zhongmou walked over slowly.

"Chen Yu Xiaoyou, don't come unharmed. ”

Zhang Zhongmou first greeted Chen Yu, and then looked at Zhang Rujing: "Rujing, you are here too." ”

"Mr. Zhang, how can I not come to such a global conference. ”

Although Zhang Rujing was cheated by Zhang Zhongmou, he was introverted and has always been good at hiding the front.

He knew that even if he tore his face with Zhang Zhongmou, it would not do him any good.

"Hehe, I knew you were coming. ”

Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile: "Rujing, you have found a good collaborator, your Tianwen chip is very good." However, I think the current production capacity of the center may not be able to keep up with the market demand. ”

"This is not for Mr. Zhang to worry about. ”

It's just that although Zhang Rujing replied like this, Zhang Zhongmou looked at Chen Yu: "I think Chen Yu Xiaoyou should have his own judgment." ”

Obviously.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Rujing refuses to refuse.

What matters is Chen Yu's attitude.

Center International is just a foundry, and he is OEM chips for others.

In other words, the chips produced are from Huanyu Technology.

How many orders Huanyu Technology places for Center International, how many chips can Center International produce.

If the center's international production capacity is insufficient, Huanyu Technology may place a part of the order to TSMC.

"What Mr. Zhang said is that I will consider it. ”

Chen Yu did not refuse, nor did he agree.

But Zhang Zhongmou was extremely satisfied with this answer.

"Chen Yu, don't be cheated by Zhang Zhongmou. ”

After Zhang Zhongmou left, Zhang Rujing said with some displeasure.

"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we are the alliance. ”

Chen Yu motioned to Zhang Rujing to relax with his eyes: "However, sometimes, it's not like we can't pit him." ”

was calculated by Zhang Zhong, Chen Yuke has always been unhappy.

If there is revenge and no revenge, that is not Chen Yu's character.

"Heh, Chen Yu, you're quite vindictive. ”

"I'm not a saint, so I definitely hold grudges. ”

Chen Yu said: "Last time you were cheated, it was actually because of me. Speaking of which, some are a little embarrassed. ”

"Don't talk about the past, it's not your fault at all. If you want to blame, blame us for being too weak. ”

Both of them were silent.

The two of them participated in this global chip development conference, why don't they want to revitalize the domestic chip industry.

It's just that both of them know that although they have incomparable ambitions, the road ahead is incomparably bumpy.

"Okay, don't talk about that, listen to what they have to say. ”

Pointing ahead, Zhang Rujing said: "This is the chief technology officer of Philips, and their chip technology is very powerful. At that time, ASML was actually spun off from Philips. ”

Chen Yu nodded and listened attentively.

But unfortunately, Chen Yu is not very good at technology.

In addition, although Chen Yu's English is also okay, when it comes to such a professional term, Chen Yu listens to it a lot.

Sure enough, I knew that it was the same as not coming.

Even if I came, I couldn't understand it.

Zhang Rujing, who was just on the side, clapped his hands from time to time, and saw that Chen Yu had some nothing to do, so he asked, "How do you feel?"

"I don't feel it. ”

"Why don't you feel it?"

"I don't understand. ”

"This is also, the technology may be too complicated, after all, you are not a professional in chips. ”

"The main thing is that I can't understand what he says in English. ”

"Poof......

Zhang Rujing was dumbfounded.

But it's also here.

With such professional knowledge, not to mention English, even if English is very good, it feels like listening to heaven.

However, since he came, although he didn't understand it, Chen Yu didn't leave early.

"This is the tech boss of Canon Japan?"

As the speeches of one technical master after another, at this time, Chen Yu saw an Asian with yellow skin and black eyes walking on the podium.

"No, he is a Vietnamese-Chinese, his name is Lin Benjian, his ancestors seem to be Hakka, TSMC's technical masters, and he is very researched in lithography machines. ”

"Oh. ”

Chen Yu nodded.

Isn't the purpose of his coming here to listen to the seminar this time just for the lithography machine?

Originally, he thought that as long as the lithography machine was involved, it would be either the Netherlands, Germany, or Japan.

Unexpectedly, there is a Chinese master in the field of lithography machines.

This time, he's going to listen carefully.

But alas.

Although Lin Benjian speaks Chinese, he speaks in English at such a global symposium.

Like before, Chen Yu also felt like he was listening to the book of heaven.

After listening for a while, Chen Yu only heard dry, wet or something.

"Mr. Zhang, what does Lin Benjian mean by dry and wet?"

"It is a technical process for the production of lithography machines, and most of us currently use the dry lithography machine production process. That is, air is used as the medium between the lens and the wafer, so that the pattern on the reticle is imaged on the wafer. However, Lin Benjian felt that a wet process could also be used. ”

"What is wet?"

The name of the wet type he said was called the immersion type, which is similar to the wet type. But the medium used is different, we generally use air now, and Lin Benjian has used water as an immersion medium. ”

"Water?"

Hearing the word water, Chen Yu Chen Yu was a little excited.

I remember in my previous life, in fact, at the beginning, the strength of ASLM in the Netherlands and Germany, as well as several major lithography machine companies in Japan, was about the same.

The reason why ASLM later dominated the world is completely related to the route chosen by these lithography machine companies.

At that time, Japan, Germany, and some lithography machine companies, including the United States, made mistakes in their route choices.

ASLM, on the other hand, has spent a lot of money to open up another lithography machine production process.

This process involves water, which is the immersion type that Lin Benjian is now mentioning.

"Do you think there is a future for his craft?"

Chen Yu doesn't know much about technology, but he knows that this is the moment that will determine the fate of future lithography machines.

After 2008, more than 90% of the chips produced in the world used the wet lithography process proposed by Lin Benjian. Moreover, it is precisely because Lin Benjian proposed this wet process that the chip has been transformed from 190 nm to 130 nm, 90 nm, 65 nm, 40 nm, 28 nm, 20 nm, 16 nm, 10 nm, 7 nm, and 5 nm. Even the most cutting-edge 3nm uses Lin Benjian's wet lithography technology.

"This, exactly, theoretically possible, but there are still a series of problems to be solved. For example, whether water will produce bubbles, whether water will pollute equipment, how to do waterproofing, how to expand when water is heated, and how to solve the problem of refractive index will change......"

Zhang Rujing told Chen Yu about the problems faced by this wet lithography process.

It's just that at this time, Chen Yu's eyes were already fixed on Lin Benjian.

He knows.

None of this will be a problem for years to come.

If we grasp this Lin Benjian, then there is hope for China's lithography machine.
