Yang Jie let Ruixing Technology develop the immersive lithography technology in advance in order to understand the overall lack of semiconductor technology in China at this stage.
At this stage, the motion accuracy of Ruixing Technology Co., Ltd. on the workpiece table can only be controlled at 4 nanometers, and the lithography machine produced by the company can only ensure that the extreme range process is kept at 90 nanometers, while the optical numerical aperture of the lens made by Sanguang Technology Co., Ltd. itself can only reach 0.5, and there is still a large interval between the lens group 0.7 made by Zeiss in Germany.
However, in the first half of this year, the ultra-high-precision equipment research and development part of the Machine Tool Research Institute will launch ultra-high-precision CNC grinding machines, and by the beginning of next year, Sunshine Science Company should be able to produce a higher numerical aperture lens group.
Rising Technology Company has gradually matured in the design and system integration of lithography machines and etching machines over the years, which gives Yang Jie the confidence that he will be able to produce immersive lithography machines in large quantities next year, and can greatly reduce the construction cost of domestic wafer factories at that time.
Now Acemoore Corporation, Nikon, A set of lithography machines for the krypton fluoride light source launched by Canon will be sold for between 20 million and 50 million US dollars, and a wafer factory needs at least 3 to 4 units.
In fact, from the beginning of the year before last, Ruixing Technology Company began to achieve profitability in the second half of 99 years, and Yang Jie has invested nearly 2 billion US dollars in Ruixing Technology Company in recent years, and now it is finally seeing results.
At present, Ruixing Technology has more than 3,000 R&D employees, and actively cooperates with domestic and foreign companies.
Yang Jie took advantage of his good relationship with the military to subcontract 10 subsystems, tens of thousands of mechanical parts, and more than 100 sensors of the lithography machine to thousands of domestic research institutes and hundreds of military enterprises to complete.
Ruixing Technology Co., Ltd. is responsible for the integration and testing and acceptance of these systems, and its important energy is focused on the research and development of several core systems.
The military top brass attaches great importance to this, and what is more important is that although the requirements for these systems customized by Ruixing Technology Company are extremely strict, the deposit given is very rich, and the money received from Ruixing Technology Company for the delivery of products in previous years has reached more than 5 billion.
Since it is so profitable, the military is naturally very willing to spend money, the year before last all the production equipment was updated, many equipment is still customized from the machine tool research institute, and increased investment in research and development.
Now the product line of Ruixing Technology Company is divided into PAS series and XT series, of which the PAS series light source is a high-pressure mercury light source, this model applies the lens group designed and produced by Ruixing Technology Company, the lens is produced and supplied by Sanguang Science Company, and also uses step scanning immersive technology, due to the application of immersive technology, this wavelength in 365 nanometers of the light source blueprint extreme range can only reach 0.25 microns, but now it can be increased to 120 nanometers, and the price is only 1,000 US dollars!
At present, Nikon, Canon, and Acemore are the three main forces on the market, which are mainly based on krypton fluoride laser light sources, with a polar range limiting process of 130 nanometers, and high-fidelity models are lithography machines with argon fluoride laser light sources, and the extreme range limiting process is at 65 nanometers.
Now the extreme limit process of the krypton fluoride laser light source lithography machine of Ruixing Technology Company can reach 90 nanometers, which is still caused by the insufficient progress of the workpiece table, if the motion accuracy of the workpiece table can be controlled at 2 nanometers, then the process technology can reach about 70 nanometers!
After controlling the immersive lithography technology, Ruixing Technology Company is like a brutal bull breaking into the porcelain shop, turning the lithography machine market, which is only divided by three blueprints, upside down!
In October of previous years, the sales of the PAS series models launched by Ruixing Technology Company were very good, and a total of more than 50 units have been sold so far, and almost half of them are overseas customers, and the XT series using krypton fluoride laser light source has also been sold to three.
It's not that Ruixing Technology Company doesn't want to sell, but there are only a dozen sets of mirror groups supplied by Zeiss in Germany, and the rest have to be left to Zhongjing Micro and Huayue Electronics Company and Huajing Group, which is really out of stock.
However, due to the availability of PAS series models, Ruixing Technology is also very tight in production capacity - there is not enough manpower.
After learning the news, Li Kaiyuan was also very excited, "Putting forward the immersive lithography machine technology is the plan you proposed, the previous few years Ruixing Technology Company was silent, and now the advanced products will be launched immediately after the technology is mature, which can be said to have completely transformed this market format, which proves that scientific and technological innovation is the most important." ”
"Yes, now that Ruixing Technology Company controls the core skills of the lithography machine, foreign restrictions on us in the semiconductor industry are becoming less and less. Ma Qiulin said with a smile.
"This news is even more significant than the visit from Temasek Group Companies. Li Kaiyuan nodded.
"This time, China Crystal Micro Company has acquired two wafer factories of Licensed Semiconductors, and will build a 12-inch wafer factory in a joint venture with Licensed Semiconductors.
Sun Shicong asked.
"The important thing is to produce the image sensor and control chip needed for mobile phone cameras. ”
Yang Jie also made a specific explanation of his plan to these leaders in the province.
"Since the image sensor is a very versatile technology product, our company regards the image sensor as the most important core business in the future, especially the image sensor applied in the mobile phone camera module, which is one of the largest market segments of the image sensor in the future. ”
"According to our company's survey of the mobile phone market, it is expected that the global production and sales of mobile phones will reach 1.7 billion units in ten years, and the camera function will become one of the most important functions of the mobile phone. ”
"It is true that with the progress of the manufacturing process, the image sensor can be made smaller and smaller, but the image sensor needs to have enough light intake, and the chip size will not be reduced too much, and the image quality will be improved. ”
Yang Jie said with a smile: "Therefore, my acquisition of the two wafer factories of the chartered semiconductor company can only be said to have just met the needs of our company's next launch of camera modules, and the camera modules will have an explosive growth in the next few years. ”
"Yang Shao, you have put a lot of effort into the image sensor in the past few years!" Ma Qiulin said with a sigh.
"We still have to increase research and development efforts, the United States has more than 30 companies in this area of research and development, Europe also has 7 companies, Japan also has 8, Taiwan also has 8, South Korea also has 1, the country now only we Huaxing group company, these companies are very strong in image sensors, our company can only stubbornly continue to invest in research and development for technical innovation, as quickly as possible to seize all the mobile phone camera module market. ”
Yang Jie said: "In the future, the research and development direction of our company in the image sensor is important to be divided into several directions, the first is to think of measures in the process of single pixel size, and strive to reduce the size of a single pixel, under the same size, so that the resolution can be made larger, now we have been able to achieve a single pixel size of 2.5 microns, this year will launch a million pixel camera phone." ”
"The second is the low illumination of the image sensor, I look forward to seeing that the image sensor produced by our company is constantly improving the low light shooting level, reaching or even exceeding the low light shooting level of the CCD, so that the mobile phone camera can take good photos in the low-light environment. ”
"In addition, the image sensor needs to shoot high-definition video, which can reach 30 frames per second or even 60 frames per second for video playback visual requirements, and higher frame rates require the support of image sensors and high-speed readout circuits, which is also where we need to continuously improve. ”
"There is also the need for continuous improvement in the image sensor acuity and signal-to-noise metaphors, because they determine the image quality. ”
