"Long time no see!Yu, are you okay?" the majestic blonde man hugged Dr. Yu, "I almost don't recognize you, how can you be in Hong Kong, are you on vacation here?"

Dr. Yu said, "You are still so strong that I can't breathe." First of all, congratulations on your promotion to President of Asia, haha. ”

The blonde man smiled: "I'm not as good as you, now I'm isolated from physics, every day is this business and that business, how can it be like you are still the authority of integrated circuits." ”

Dr. Yu: "I haven't been in the business for a few years since I came out of Intel, and now I'm messing around. ”

The blonde man said curiously: "You are very talented in this business, I remember that you went to Intel, and I heard that you did a good job, why didn't you do it." ”

Dr. Yu: "It's hard to put into words. ”

The blonde man smiled boldly: "It's hard to say slowly, I have authentic German beer here, and I have been entertained by you many times when I was in the United States, I have always said that I want to invite you to drink beer, but you have not gone to Europe once, let's have a good drink today." ”

Dr. Yu: "Very good!"

The blonde man's name is Hans, a German of pure Aryan descent, who was a graduate student with Dr. Yu when he was studying in the United States, and even completed the project together.

However, after graduation, Dr. Yu joined Fairchild to continue semiconductor research under Grove, while Hans resolutely returned to China and joined Siemens Semiconductors.

Many years have passed in a flash, and the two of them are deeply touched when they meet again, which is a bit of a coincidence. If Dr. Yu hadn't wanted to start his own business, he wouldn't have come to the East, and he would at least be the sole director of Intel in his current position.

Hans completely changed careers, returned to Germany and studied business management, and gradually climbed to the position of president of Asia, becoming a prince.

Dr. Yu had heard the news of Hans's ascension early on, so he paid special attention this time to see if he could ask him for some help and import some key equipment.

Drinking a rich dark beer, Hans and Dr. Yu talked about the bits and pieces of separation, sharing the experience of failure and the joy of success.

Drinking heartily, Hans asked: "I am climbing step by step in the country, there is no big interest, the Germans are rigid in thinking, more than steady, not enterprising enough." Or your experience is twisted and varied, and it's not challenging for me. ”

Dr. Yu drank a lot of alcohol, but he smiled when he heard Hans's words: "I was forced to do so, and I was so miserable that I almost couldn't turn over." ”

"You too, I didn't hear anything about the business failure at that time, and I didn't let you come to Germany. Hans poured another large glass and drank it all, "But now it's up to you, don't you have your own company, how free." ”

Dr. Yu smiled bitterly: "I started a company with a friend, but now I have encountered a little trouble. ”

Hans said: "The trouble that comes out of your mouth is certainly not simple, let's say, if there is anything I can help with, I can make it convenient in my authority." ”

"Don't say it, you really helped. Dr. Yu put down his glass and took out a list, "Recently, I am going to invest in a factory, everything is ready, I only owe a few key equipment, can you get it?" ”

Hans looked at it and exclaimed, "You want to be a semiconductor factory! You're richer than me!"

Dr. Yu nodded and smiled slightly.

Hans sighed, "Remember what our mentor said? A real man has to have his own chip factory, and it seems that you have always been aiming for this." ”

Dr. Yu laughed and said: "So you remember! How many years have passed, I am also a coincidence, the partner has a product design, there is a lot of money, it just so happens that I hit it off with him, and now I am preparing, but there is a lack of some key equipment, can you solve it." ”

Hans thought for a moment, but then asked, "Where are you going to build your factory?"

"It has not yet been decided, depending on the policies of various governments, there are currently three options: Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia. Dr. Yu said.

Hans nodded and said, "That's fine, as long as it's not in Red Huaxia, where the control is relatively strict, and it may be difficult to get the export approval, you also know the reason." ”

Dr. Yu said helplessly: "Yes, or I will build it directly in Huaxia, how can I be tied like now." ”

"You have no problem with this order, I can order from the head office, but there is no stock, and yours will wait for 6 months or more. Hans calculated, "Large pattern generators, high-precision cameras, step-by-step repetitive shrinking machines, we have all these things, do you want cheap or expensive." ”

Dr. Yu looked at Hans, his eyes were not confused at all: "I want to be able to use it!"

Hans smiled: "Made in Germany, it must be a high-quality product, not to mention that these traditional fields are our strengths, you can rest assured, even second-hand goods are top-notch." ”

Dr. Yu shook his head: "Don't use it, I want a new one, even if it's a little more expensive." ”

"It's easy to do, but second-hand goods are available. Hans said.

"I've been waiting for so long, and I'm still afraid that this will be the next moment?" Dr. Yu also smiled.

"Okay, I'll take this order, and I'll ask for the specific price. Hans raised his glass, "Come, happy cooperation, and toast to the success of your career!"

"Cheers!"

The two of them drank it all and laughed.

Buying equipment, signing contracts, accepting payments, and recruiting people to build factories, even if Dr. Yu brought two right-hand men, he was very busy. It's just that standing on the construction site and watching the progress of the project day by day, and the equipment being transported in one by one, the excitement in Dr. Yu's heart is also indescribable.

As early as Fairchild, Dr. Yu was the developer of semiconductor process lines, and his main job was to lead a group of researchers to work hard to apply the products and technologies developed in the laboratory to the production line to facilitate large-scale production.

Its important product is metal oxide semiconductor memory, but the leader of Fairchild does not understand technology and does not have the slightest interest in the new concept product proposed by Dr. Yu, so the project is aborted. That year, Intel released CMOS memory products and made a fortune.

Later, he jumped to Intel, and became the full-time person in charge of the chip factory, leading the R&D and production process of three or four kittens, and the first task Dr. Yu received at that time was to develop a 3-inch silicon wafer.

In 72 years, all the world's integrated circuit manufacturers used 2-inch silicon wafers, dozens of semiconductor companies in Silicon Valley, and four or five of them were powerful, plus Canada's MTL, were desperately developing 3-inch technology.

Increasing the number of chips from 2 inches to 3 inches may not seem like much progress, but doubling the area of silicon wafers can produce multiple chips at once, and the cost can be doubled.

Dr. Yu had the foundation to design the diffusion furnace himself, operate all the process steps, try to understand the whole reaction process, and design a larger fixture to deal with these larger wafers.

Fortunately, the development was successful, but there were some problems during mass production, that is, the yield decreased. Dr. Yu's step-by-step analysis of the reason turned out to be that the operator did not follow the treatment steps, resulting in some changes in process characteristics.

The only way to improve is to apply on-the-job training to the operators, and write all the operation details into a manual, which the operators are required to strictly follow.

Not only that, in order to make 3-inch silicon wafers have better quality, Dr. Yu and his team also invented a magical surface-active formula to increase the smoothness of the wafer surface, which can make 3-inch silicon wafers mass-produced. This is Dr. Yu's secret, and it was only revealed after many years of knowing.

As for other similar equipment and process improvements, there are countless of them.

These are valuable experiences, and without these experiences, Dr. Yu would not have been hired by Huaxia as a consultant for the National Laboratory.

Later, after Dr. Yu's investment failed, he came to realize that everything is fake without his own chip production line, and chip manufacturing is an industry, and its profits can be maximized, which is the last word.

Therefore, now that he is getting closer and closer to his goal, Dr. Yu can't help but get excited.
