Chapter 701: The Future of 798

Just after the Spring Festival, Hu Wenhai had to devote himself to busy work. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are a lot of things piled up on his head, but a lot of work related to Xinke, he can't escape it.

For example, the National Technical Census, which was conducted at the same time as the National Economic Census.

Compared with the vigorous economic census, the technical census is relatively low-key. The original intention of the technology census was to use $50 billion to purchase technology and equipment from the United States for industrial upgrading. In order to upgrade technology, the first problem is that you must know how much money you have.

You can't buy something and then suddenly find that you have something better to use at home, right? In history, such things have happened many times, and the mistakes made in the introduction of technology and equipment, and the tuition fees paid, have made people feel distressed. And it's not a one-time hand-in, some places, some systems, some projects, two or three times without learning lessons, just paying tuition fees is not a long memory.

To avoid such problems, it is necessary to first have an understanding of the technology in your hands, and then make an overall plan for the introduction of technology across the country.

Nowadays, there are about two and a half centers of scientific research and technology in China. The two don't need to ask, naturally they are the imperial capital and the magic capital, and the half is the electronic and heavy industry scientific research belt of Bohai Province that is gradually growing.

Among these halves, the most eye-catching is the new Academy of Sciences, which has been rapidly emerging in the past two years.

Compared with the scientific research institutes directly under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, various ministries and commissions and universities, the foundation of the new Academy of Sciences is undoubtedly too thin. Ni Guangnan, President of the New Academy of Sciences, and Wu Daguan, Vice President and Dean of the Power Research Institute, these two people undoubtedly have great energy in the domestic scientific research community, but there will be no shortage of heroes in the Chinese Academy of Sciences who can cook wine with them.

However, the new Academy of Science and Technology has an unrivaled advantage, and that is "show_me_the_money".

Compared with national scientific research units, there is a big gap between the technical level and the number of talents of the New Academy of Sciences. But there is only one aspect, and among the scientific research institutes in the country, it is well-known -- rich.

Hu Wenhai's investment in scientific research can undoubtedly be said to be the most generous among China's private enterprises in this era.

Therefore, some people asked Hu Wenhai such a question: what is the secret of the new Academy of Sciences to continue to achieve many scientific research achievements that have attracted attention at home and abroad?

I'm_rich.??

This is the answer given by Hu Wenhai.

IQ is of course the most important thing in the scientific research community, but if you have money, you can buy IQ.

So over the years, the pace of development of the new Academy of Sciences has been quite amazing. Focusing on the two fields of electronics and power also allows the advantages of ST Systems to be amplified.

At present, the new Academy of Sciences has created a number of world firsts and absolute leading fields in the field of electronics, and is rapidly catching up in more projects, at least reaching the domestic leading level.

For example, in terms of power semiconductors, after taking out IGCT, Xinke did not put it into storage, but invested hundreds of millions of dollars every year for the development of IGBT technology.

At this time, at least in the laboratory, Hu Wenhai has been able to restore the 1200V/600A level of igbt chips. However, this is only the beginning, the relevant technology is in absolute secrecy, and the next step is to conquer the 6500V/200A IGBT module. As long as these two technical grades are won, ST will be the leader in the power semiconductor market for at least 20 years.

On the other hand, the Microelectronics Research Institute, which was jointly established with Jiangguang General Factory, has also mastered the production capacity of 0.8 micron lithography machines by virtue of immersion technology. What has plagued the output of domestic lithography machines is not the lens or machining capacity, but the light source.

The domestic machining capacity can at least ensure the demand for dry 0.8 micron lithography machines.

In fact, even in the original history, the domestic submicron lithography machine in the nineties was able to be self-produced. However, the degree of automation is insufficient, and it cannot compete with foreign products in terms of efficiency, yield and output, so it can only be reserved as a pre-research technology.

From beginning to end, the biggest obstacle to the development of domestic lithography machine technology is not a technical problem. The reason why Modu Microelectronics has a bad reputation is also because the products have no market competitiveness for a long time, and they can only eat subsidies from the state finance. And financial subsidies for a long time, the spirit of an enterprise will be ruined.

Fundamentally, it is actually because of the joint encirclement and suppression of Nikon and ASML. Whenever Modu Microelectronics has a product breakthrough, it immediately opens up the import of related products to China, and the impact of low prices prevents domestic lithography machines from entering the market.

If this kind of thing is done two or three times, Modu Microelectronics can only be willing to be an "existence fleet".

The only role left is to promote the international continuous export of lithography machines to China that are one or two generations behind. Of course, if Modu Microelectronics dies, presumably Nikon and ASML will happily completely cut off the import channels of Chinese lithography machines.

However, now with the new Academy of Sciences, domestic lithography machines in the lithography machine industry will certainly not take this old road.

Hu Wenhai has always emphasized that the technology itself must be able to earn profits that meet its own development.

And this is also reflected in the research and development of lithography machines.

At present, it seems that the market for front-end lithography machines cannot compete with Nikon and ASML. But there are always areas that can be used to overtake in corners.

Xia Xueyi was a little flattered, he didn't expect that he would not only take a plane to make a row with Hu Jiefang, but also see Hu Wenhai again, and he personally led a visit to the New Academy of Sciences.

The situation of the Imperial Capital CRT Factory is not optimistic, and the United States has thrown over a bunch of outdated and costly technologies for the color television glass rods and electron guns it intends to import. In this regard, the Japanese have an absolute commercial advantage, so Xia Xueyi turned to seek cooperation with Japanese companies.

However, in the negotiations with Japan's Asahi Glass, Terminal and Nisshin Co., Ltd., the Japanese insisted on the conditions of cooperation, not only the joint venture shares should occupy an absolute advantage, but also the core technology is also secretive, there is no sincerity in the market for technology.

At this time, this once the largest electron tube factory in Asia is already struggling to develop. If the history of the past is followed, the fate of this factory will go in the other direction. The old industrial area has been rejuvenated and has become the mecca of petty bourgeoisie in the future - the 798 Art District.

However, at this time, in order to maintain the production and operation of the 798 factory, Xia Xueyi and the management had to come up with a solution. The once glorious factory area was dressed up brightly, and then leased to multinational companies such as Nestle and ABB to collect a pitiful property fee.

The management of Factory 798 moved out of the office building and moved to work in a prefabricated house. The workers' production site has also moved from the tall factory to an old bungalow that has been abandoned.

With this means, Factory 798 barely maintains the production and livelihood of 2,600 employees.

If it weren't for the fact that the state suddenly organized an American purchasing group, if he hadn't met Hu Jiefang on the plane, and if he hadn't contacted the Xinke Group with a slight hope, perhaps the Imperial Capital Picture Tube Factory would have to accept the harsh joint venture requirements of Japanese companies.

But it is clear that history is about to take a sharp turn here.

"It is said that the summer factory has worked hard for a long time, and it stands to reason that it should take a break. "Hu Wenhai rushed back to Xiucheng from the imperial capital, but it won't be homesick. Xia Xueyi came early rather than coincidentally, just in time for this major event that was closely related to him.

Hu Wenhai said apologetically: "But time waits for no one, our test is about to get results, so we can only wronged Director Xia first." ”

"What Mr. Hu said. Xia Xueyi waved her hand again and again, and asked with some curiosity: "I just don't know what Mr. Hu said, what is the matter?"

"Hmm. ”

Hu Wenhai groaned slightly and said, "I don't know how much Director Xia knows about LED light sources?"

Xia Xueyi dared to visit, of course, she had done her homework beforehand. It turns out that no one is a simple player to make a name for themselves in the future.

He frowned slightly, and soon his eyes lit up, and he said tentatively: "What Mr. Hu said, is it the blue LED technology that competed for the Science and Technology Progress Award in the past two years......?" Has the Academy of Sciences completed the research and development of production technology?"

Hu Wenhai nodded with a smile: "Yes, the Xinke Electronics Research Institute has completed the research and development of the core equipment of LED production, the stepper projection lithography machine. ”

LED blue light is the last field to be conquered in the LED light source, red light and yellow light have been able to generate, but only blue light can not be synthesized into white light.

Without white light, the application of LEDs is naturally extremely limited.

Since Hu Wenhai applied for the Science and Technology Progress Award two years ago, he threw out several Nobel Prize-level papers in one go, and the development of blue LEDs has set off a boom in the world.

However, Hu Wenhai dared to throw out the paper, of course, he would not be unprepared, and he had already registered the patent for blue LEDs around the world. It's just that there were no production conditions in China at that time, so it was temporarily delayed.

In 1990, the research institute of ST electronics cooperated with the Imperial Institute of Atomic Energy to develop a krypton fluoride (Krf) laser light source that could finally meet the requirements, and was equipped with the third-generation projection exposure lithography machine developed by the "Xinjiang (Xinke and Jiangguang General Factory) Microelectronics Institute", completing the last step of the self-production of sub-micron lithography machine.

The projection lithography machine, named Streamer 3.1, has achieved 100% localization. From lenses to machinery, from light sources to systems, all of them are produced by domestic manufacturers. The dry lithography node is 1 micron, and the process node can reach the 0.8 micron level after using technologies such as immersion and optical proximity correction.

At this point, the production technology of blue LEDs is ready. Compared with traditional lighting technology, the advantages of LED lighting are quite obvious.

A blue ocean, just about to be depicted by Hu Wenhai, is slowly unfolding to Xia Xueyi and the Imperial Capital Picture Tube Factory.
