In the early morning, the sun shines through the floral curtains, speckling the room.

Wang Anran got up and sat on the bed and rubbed his temples.

His head hurt a little, he got out of bed, pulled the curtains open, and the light was the first time, and he couldn't open his eyes.

Pulling open the window, a cool breath made him sober up a lot.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Hilton Hotel's penthouse suite, half of the bay north is close in front of you.

Wang Anran turned around, walked to the bedside, and picked up the phone on the bedside table.

"Xiaoqing, have you arranged the personnel to visit the Hsinchu wafer factory today?"

"Mr. Wang, we have communicated with TSMC, the first batch of 52 people has been decided, and the visit process has been determined. ”

Wang Anran was a little uneasy and asked: "Does TSMC have any precautions for visiting? If not, we must communicate in advance and explain to the visitors." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang. ”

Chip manufacturing has high requirements for the cleanliness of the environment, and Wang Anran doesn't want to make both parties unhappy because of untimely communication.

"By the way, Xiaoqing, how did the other party respond to our request for camera?"

"Mr. Wang, I was about to report to you, and the other party agreed to our request, but the area where photography can be limited needs to be limited, and they will take a photographer who accompanies us when the time comes......"

Wang Anran thought about it, but there was nothing else to explain, hung up the phone, felt that his stomach was empty, and called the front desk again.

"Hello, who are you?"

"Room 8018, order an early. ”

"Okay, please wait a minute, what do you want to order?"

"A cup of milk, two portions of bacon, a bowl of porridge, and two tea eggs, is there a flower roll?"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Okay, order two more flower rolls, light pickles and two plates......"

Wang Anran went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed his clothes, and when he came out to dry his hair, the waiter had already set up breakfast on the dining table.

Full of stomachs, go downstairs to meet with the staff of the administrative department, and go straight to the Hsinchu wafer factory.

This time, Liu Boxiong's attitude can be said to have changed greatly, and he is no longer as prevaricated as when he first met.

More than 50 people changed into dustproof clothing and will visit the entire process of chip manufacturing under the guidance of TSMC staff.

The first thing you see is the high-purity silicon ingots, which are processed into wafers under a special cutting machine, and then processed by a dry ice grinder before being sent to the lithography workshop.

Here, the wafer surface is coated with a micron-sized layer of photoresist and fed into the lithography machine.

In the lithography machine, a mask tailored to the chip is already placed, where the photoresist-coated wafer is exposed, and then cleaned, etched, and re-exposed...... Physical treatment, chemical treatment and a series of operations.

Under the one-micron manufacturing process, the final chip has to go through more than 30 processes.

"This is the lithography machine?"

The visitors looked curiously at the behemoth in front of them, and this lithography machine almost filled most of the factory.

"I wonder when we'll have one like this?"

"You stupid, we can't buy this thing. ”

"I wonder when the state will be built?"

What was originally in books is now in front of us, and for most people, it is a good learning opportunity.

Next, we visited the etching workshop, physical treatment workshop, chemical treatment workshop, and packaging workshop.

The admiration one after another along the way made the TSMC staff who assisted on the side also full of interest, and the introduction was also energetic.

Ji Xiaoqing said in frustration on the side: "I don't know when, we Huaxin Technology also have one such device." ”

Wang Anran shook his head, the micron-level lithography machine looks advanced now, but it will also be eliminated by the market in a few years, and it is not impossible for Huaxin Technology to buy one when it comes.

It's just that for these IC practitioners, the gap in technology is the most suffocating place, and some people from the Academy of Sciences and Qingdao University know that the country is tackling key problems in the three-micron manufacturing process of chips.

At present, the process technology that is much more backward than it has not been thoroughly understood, and the one-micron manufacturing process has already achieved mass production.

That's the gap.

After these people visited TSMC's 800nm manufacturing process laboratory, such emotions were pervasive, and even Wang Anran felt the solemnity of the atmosphere.

Wang Anran knew that it was necessary to give these people a positive response and take so many people to visit TSMC's factory.

The purpose is not only to learn and see things that cannot be seen in books, but also to recognize the gap and catch up.

If the stimulation is too great, one by one is depressed, and then runs to a foreign company, it will backfire.

……

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, the flight taken by Bellavill and his assistant Rabvich arrived at Wanbei Airport on time.

At the exit of the station, meet with the pick-up personnel sent by Huaxin Technology.

After settling in at the hotel, Belavill proposed to meet with the person in charge of Huaxin Technology.

When Zhang Lei was in charge of the reception, he didn't dare to be self-conscious about Bellavir's request, so he picked up the phone and called Wang Anran.

"Mr. Wang, Belavill will ask to meet with you now, you see ......"

Wang Anran was stunned, the other party was too urgent, across half the world, the jet lag hadn't been reversed.

However, this also gave Wang Anran a positive signal that the OpenGL committee took this meeting very seriously.

"Zhang Lei, let's make an appointment at six o'clock in the afternoon, I will go to the appointment when I come back from the Hsinchu Wafer Factory, by the way, you arrange a place to eat, and talk while eating at that time." ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and continued: "Mr. Wang, the other party has made it clear that the other party will visit the graphics card test site first, you see?"

Wang Anran nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Lei, you can arrange this! Go to the test workshop in Hsinchu, by the way, just after Bellaville's visit, you can go with me, and you can arrange to have dinner together in the evening." ”

"Okay, Mr. Wang, do you think it's okay to arrange a Western restaurant, the environment is quiet and convenient for communication. ”

"You decide!"

……

Zhang Lei hung up the phone, returned to the hotel room, and said to Belavier: "Mr. Belavier, the boss has agreed, let's go now, is there a problem?"

"Of course, thank you!"

Bellavel was on the plane and had been worried about whether Huaxin Technology's invitation would be a prank.

And now, Huaxin Technology has agreed to visit their test workshop, which makes him a little more sure.

Rabuvich was amazed by Bellavel's exuberant energy, and now he just wants to get some sleep and take advantage of the jet lag.

However, as Dr. Bella's assistant, he had no choice but to follow the car.

In the car, Labovich asked with a tired face, "Dr. Bella, don't you feel a little uncomfortable?"

Bellavill said with great interest: "It's about to be time to reveal the answer, have you ever seen this time, the audience wants to leave......?"
