Chapter 164 KrF 248nm UV Lithography Machine
"Anran, I have to make it clear to you face to face, although these seven sets of equipment are all 1.5 micron manufacturing process, there are four of them, which are a little different from the others. ”
Wang Anran was suddenly interested.
"What's the difference?"
"Three of them used high-pressure mercury lamps with 365 nanometer light sources, while the other four ......"
"Professor Zhang, you said that!"
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Dajing pointed at Wang Anran and said: "Anran, I always thought that you were calmer than other young people, but now it seems that I just didn't find something you were interested in!"
Wang Anran glanced at Zhang Dajing and said, "Professor Zhang, if you don't say it again, I'm going to turn my face!"
"Okay!good!" Zhang Dajing shook his head and said, "Anran, four of them use Krf248 nanometer excimer laser light sources. ”
Well, Wang Anran felt a little short of breath, and the KRF excimer laser light source has two wavelengths, one is 248 nanometers, and the other is 193 nanometers.
This is different from high-pressure mercury light sources, which are still visible light, while the KRF excimer laser has entered the category of ultraviolet light.
Although the research of KRF excimer laser has already begun in China and the corresponding results have been achieved, the 248 nm light source suitable for lithography requires a high power of 10 joules and a particle uniformity in the range of 0.3 thousandths.
The threshold is here.
In fact, IBM used the KRF excimer laser light source for semiconductor lithography as early as 1980, and fifteen years later, it is still an unfathomable technical threshold for China.
Unexpectedly, this thing was actually brought by Zhang Dajing......
Wang asked anxiously: "Professor Zhang, I remember that the laser light source is prohibited from trade in the Wassenaar Agreement, why do you ......?"
"Shore Ran, you are wrong, the list of export restrictions in the Wassenaar agreement, 248 nanometers of KRF was not included in it this year.
However, it should be noted that this laser cannot be used for military purposes, so they will send someone to supervise and regularly inspect it. ”
My own news is still lagging behind!
Wang Anran shook his head, if the embargo on the 248nm lithography machine is lifted, foreign countries have made great progress in the application of the 193nm lithography machine, and even made a breakthrough in deep violet light.
The reason is simple, the core of the Wassenaar agreement is the N-2 policy, and the basis for the West's approval of exports is that the equipment exported to China must be two generations behind.
In fact, the approval process is very complicated, and by the time the equipment is actually obtained, it is almost the third generation, which is basically about 10 years behind the international mainstream technology.
There is no way, Wang Anran took a sip of water, he thought of one thing, and hurriedly asked: "Professor Zhang, this chip production line can be ......"
Zhang Dajing interrupted Wang Anran's words and said: "Anran, this is another thing I want to say, the 248nm laser light source lithography machine can be modified for the production of chips with a 1-micron process, but it involves a series of complex optical exposure technologies, and these patents are to be converted into capital shares!"
This Wang Anran has no opinion, if it can be transformed into an immersive lithography machine, the 320nm process is no problem.
Zhang Dajing took out a document and handed it to Wang Anran.
"Shareholding structure?"
Zhang Dajing nodded.
Wang Anran opened it and was stunned.
The $700 million only accounted for 35% of the shares, and Zhang Dajing's team invested in technology and accounted for 15% of the shares, and Zhang Dajing took 5% of the dry shares, followed by a large number of investors.
Wang Anran also saw his old buddy Goldman Sachs, as well as Singapore Investment Group, Bay Island International, etc., so many companies, a total of 300 million US dollars, plus some patent authorization, accounting for 45% of the shares.
"Anran, you know, pulling Goldman Sachs in is also for our equipment approval to be faster, after all, Goldman Sachs still has a set of public relations. ”
Wang Anran is not a headache for Goldman Sachs, he is the majority of the funds for Huaxin Technology, accounting for only a little more than one-third of the shares.
The only thing that makes Wang Anran feel some comfort is that he is still the largest shareholder of this company.
Because it has been promised before, his own shares and voting rights have been handed over to Zhang Dajing, and Zhang Dajing's team plus Zhang Dajing's own has 20% of the shares.
Together, it is 55% of the shares, which can completely make Zhang Dajing speak in the new company.
But Huaxin Technology is too much of a loss!
"But who deserves to be slaughtered without skills? ”
Wang Anran shook his head, if he wants to play with others at this time, it will definitely not work if he doesn't have a greeting gift.
"Anran, there is another point I need to be clear, one is the employee stock pool, which needs to be proportional to each shareholder, and now it is tentatively set at 3%
The other thing is that this company is going to go public eventually!"
Wang Anran nodded, Zhang Dajing pulled so much capital in, and capital is in pursuit of profits, how can he cash out his shares if he is not listed......
"Professor Zhang, regarding the matter of patent shares, I need my team to evaluate the value of each patent, and I have no problem with the rest. By the way, Professor Zhang, has the factory been decided?"
"Not yet, our people are coordinating with the Hong Kong government, and at the moment, we have not found a suitable land. ”
Wang Anran didn't speak, let Zhang Dajing go to public relations!
When he hits a wall, he will know that building a factory in the mainland is also a good choice.
…………
Just when Wang Anran and Zhang Dajing were entangled, the official internal discussion was around "whether Huaxin Technology will lead the development of lithography machines." "There was a heated discussion.
To this end, the government specially invited a group of scientists, academicians and CEOs of high-tech state-owned enterprises to participate in the discussion.
Liu Chengzhi also learned here that Huaxin Technology actually extended its tentacles to the field of lithography machines, and also reported to the High-tech Department of the National Development and Reform Commission.
"I oppose letting Huaxin Technology lead the research and development of lithography machines, I also read the report just now, Huaxin Technology requires the state to support the project in technology.
This is the use of the resources of the state for the benefit of his private enterprise......"
Ni Guangnan held back the fire in his belly, on this occasion, he was not good at slapping the table, and waited patiently until Liu Chengzhi finished speaking, and then said: "I am in favor, as for why, I think everyone knows the difficulty of developing lithography machines."
Even if the whole country is strong, it is not necessary to develop a world-class lithography machine, this is obviously a money-burning project, only a fool will want to take advantage of the country from here!"
Liu Chengzhi's old face turned red, and his gaze on Ni Guangnan was a little resentful.
"Old immortal, you just want to go against labor and management, right......"
The next speech is probably mixed in favor and against, or more against, after all, many people are not at ease with Huaxin Technology.
When it was Su Lao's turn, he slammed the crutch on the floor twice.
Here, Su Lao has this spectrum, and the majesty of the old devil boy is not covered.
"I can also hear that there are no more than two reasons for everyone's opposition just now, one is that they are afraid that Huaxin Technology will take advantage of the country, and the other reason is that they are afraid that Huaxin Technology will not do well, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”
"Let me talk about the first reason first, Mr. Liu, you are also from the Academy of Sciences, you don't see how many topics Huaxin Technology has invested in academic research, and there are several topics that can be profitable.
I remember that there are several basic research topics in mathematics and physics, and Huaxin Technology is supported free of charge, I would like to ask Mr. Liu, how many projects have you fantasized about the technology, and how much money has been invested in this area......"
Liu Chengzhi was dumbfounded, why did Su Lao aim the muzzle at him as soon as he came up.
"Su Lao, this is not the same thing, and Fantasy Technology has also paid a lot of profits to the Academy of Sciences, this is also to support scientific research!"
", that's as it should be, the Academy of Sciences is your major shareholder, and you still want not to hand over your profits?"
Liu Chengzhi couldn't say a word when he was choked, and he only hoped that Su Lao, you finished talking early, and ended early, here, you are simply guilty.
Su Lao scolded Liu Chengzhi for a moment, then turned his head to look at everyone, and continued: "That's it, I'll say one more thing, you will know after listening to it, whether Huaxin Technology will make money through this project." ”
"Su Lao, you say!"
Su Qingsen stood up, took a long breath, and said: "Huaxin Technology took out nearly 800 million yuan of national tax rebates, plus 500 million Huaxin Technology shares, and used this money to set up a fund for science and technology awards......
"Whew!"
"Five and eight billion!"
"What is this for......
Su Lao glanced at the audience, and continued: "I can responsibly guarantee that Huaxin Technology will never make money from this project." ”
Bu Xiangdong, general manager of Yanjing Optical Equipment Company, shook his head, in his opinion, it would be difficult to let such a large enterprise follow a private company.
Seeing that Su Lao finished speaking, he hurriedly followed and said: "But Su Lao, this does not mean that Huaxin Technology has the ability to undertake such a big project!"
"Don't have this ability?" Su Qingsen shook his head.
"I don't know what it means to have the ability, the EDA software developed by Huaxin Technology should be used by many people.
The operating system they developed must have been seen by someone as well.
You should have used the minicomputer server, as well as the world's top graphics card.
Not to mention the CPU ...... that is about to be released"
Whispers from the audience.
"I didn't expect Huaxin Technology to develop so many heavyweight products, almost none of which have filled the gaps in China, and CPU, have they developed CPUs?
"All I know is that they want to develop CPUs, is their CPU a finished product?"
More than half of those present did not know about it.
Su Qingsen looked at Liu Chengzhi and said, "Xiao Liu, tell me, you know the CPU of Huaxin Technology best." ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Chengzhi, only to see him stand up, and said to everyone reluctantly: "Huaxin Technology has indeed produced a CPU, and the performance has reached the world's advanced level......
"Phew!"
