Chapter 1172: A New Opponent?
Yang Jie is still very satisfied with the role of this Shenguang light source facility, and through the research and development of this project, Huaxing Technology Group Company and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have become mature in the light source system technology products of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
However, the most difficult thing is that this extreme ultraviolet light is destructive, can not be refracted by glass lens, must develop a special coated reflective lens, although Ruixing Technology Company created a prototype a few years ago, but the experiment still encountered a lot of technical problems, and not lithography equipment to build on the line, this also needs photoresist and mask and many other aspects of support, it can be said that it is a whole body.
Now Zhongjing Micro has mastered the 32nm process technology, which is equivalent to the process level of Intel, but there are at most three generations of process technology to reach the limit of argon fluoride light source, and Yang Jie also hopes to be able to successfully carry out Moore's law with the help of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
Therefore, Yang Jie also asked Rising Technology Company to successfully launch the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine and achieve mass production after 6 years, and the task is still very heavy.
Up to now, Rising Technology has become a giant company in the field of lithography machines, basically accounting for more than 50 percent of this market, while Acemore has accounted for more than 30 percent of the market share.
This is mainly due to the fact that Eagle Sauce, including chip manufacturers such as Intel and South Korean chip manufacturers, are working hard to support Acemore, and they do not want to be completely monopolized by Rising Technology Company in lithography machines, while Nikon and Canon have been completely marginalized in lithography equipment.
However, now there are more and more domestic wafer factories, and a large part of them undertake the business of wafer foundry, and they also have great advantages in process technology and cost control, so China has now become the largest semiconductor foundry country.
This has caused a lot of pressure on the fabs in Europe and the United States, and the construction speed of the fabs has slowed down, and they have gone to a domestic fab to build a wafer factory, or handed over the foundry business to the domestic fab.
Zhongjing Micro and Huayue Electronics Co., Ltd. and Huajing Group Co., Ltd. are technically shared, and the process technology between each other is at most a gap between generations, Zhongjing Micro is mainly to meet the business of Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd., and the other two are mainly engaged in foundry business, and now they have become foundry giant companies, the two companies have accounted for more than 50% of the global chip foundry business volume, and it can be said that two-thirds of the chip foundry orders are completed in China.
Now there are only two wafer foundries left in Wanwan, and most of the production capacity has been transferred to China, so it can be said that the world's semiconductor pattern is completely different from the pattern in Yang Jie's memory in his previous life.
At present, 60% of the revenue of Zhongjing Micro, Huayue Electronics Co., Ltd., and Huajing Group Co., Ltd. depends on the most advanced process, especially the 38nm and 45nm process processes of Zhongjing Micro and Huayue Electronics Co., Ltd. are the most profitable golden hens, and a large number of chip design companies are rushing to place orders.
Now a domestic process technology has been on par with the most advanced technology of Eagle Sauce, and Huaxing Technology Group Company still has the most critical equipment, and now Western countries have banned rabbits in the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, but they are worried that rabbits will surpass all Western countries in the semiconductor industry.
Rising Technology is already the world's leader in immersive lithography machine technology, and Zhongjing Micro has also developed to the third generation in FinFET transistor technology, and has a large number of technology patents in hand, which is not something that any company can easily spare.
Yang Jie stayed in the imperial capital for a few days and then returned to Tanzhou City.
On this day, when he was handling official business in the office of the headquarters, Du Yunlong knocked on the door and came in.
"Yang Shao, our people also got the news that Microsoft and Nokia are in close contact in private, and Microsoft seems to want to use Nokia's hand to enter the field of mobile terminals...... "Pipi Reading Network."
Du Yunlong said to Yang Jie.
Yang Jie was also stunned, he didn't expect Microsoft to enter the field of mobile terminals several years earlier than in his previous life.
But he thinks about it and thinks that it is understandable that Microsoft is so eager to enter the field of mobile terminals, now smart phones have become a general trend, and the scale of the world's mobile phone market is growing rapidly, last year the world's mobile phone production and sales reached 1.2 billion units, of which the proportion of smart phones accounted for more than 30 percent, that is, more than 300 million mobile phones were sold, and Huaxing Technology Group Company alone sold hundreds of millions of smart phones, becoming the undisputed overlord, making hundreds of billions of dollars in the mobile phone business.
Now that the feature phone market is shrinking rapidly, and profits are also declining sharply, all mobile phone manufacturers are aiming at the expanding market of smartphones.
Seeing Huaxing Technology Group Co., Ltd. making wild profits in the smartphone market, many technology companies are lying if they say that they are not popular.
Previously, Microsoft's own mobile phone system was promoted on many brand mobile phones, but these mobile phone manufacturers were not enough in hardware and software system integration capabilities, so they didn't sell well, this time Microsoft couldn't help but go on the field in person, and found Nokia, the previous overlord in the field of mobile phones, obviously what is important is the company's ability to integrate mobile phone hardware.
"Yang Shao, should we also get in touch with Nokia?"
Du Yunlong asked.
"No," Yang Jie waved his hand and said: "What we have to do is to do a good job in our product technology and service content, and it is not a bad thing for us to add one more opponent." ”
Du Yunlong also nodded when he saw the big boss's calm face.
Yes, now Huaxing Communications has firmly established itself in the global mobile phone business, and it has been killed from sinister opponents for so many years, even if Microsoft and Nokia join forces, they are not afraid.
Although Yang Jie didn't care much about this matter, Yang Jie also received calls from many people, all of whom asked about it.
In fact, this circle is said to be big and small, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is normal for small actions between Microsoft and Nokia to be noticed.
Yang Jie did not comment too much on this matter on the phone, and also said that this incident will not have a big impact on the mobile phone market.
Microsoft was obsessed with the control of the system and application ecology before the mobile field, and needed to charge licensing fees, so terminal manufacturers and operators were unwilling to support, coupled with Microsoft's very small share to third-party software developers, and the mobile phones sold before were not many, these third parties were even more reluctant to develop application software for Microsoft.
