The accuracy of the alignment system of the lithography machine has a great impact on the chip exposure of the lithography machine.

At present, the accuracy of domestic alignment system research can barely be applied to the manufacturing process of 1.5 microns.

However, it should be noted that in Europe, the United States and Japan, the autofocus on the lithography machine has been realized at this time, while the domestic can only be manually aligned.

Other people's lithography machines can expose more than 200 wafers per unit time, while domestic ones can only expose more than a dozen.

This means that our own production can only be used in the laboratory, and cannot be put into commercial applications, otherwise, the cost can drag down a chip processing factory.

The automation of the alignment system involves a series of projects that need to be tackled, such as servo motors, photoelectric feedback, air bearings, motorization compensation, CCD focus imaging, etc.

In precision machining, Germany and Japan are undoubtedly in the top position in the world.

Wang Anran hopes to seek extensive cooperation in the international arena, however, any cooperation is not a unilateral intention, and Huaxin Technology needs to do more intelligence work......

Wang Anran sighed and said to Zhang Lei: "The position of the information director of Huaxin Technology has been vacant for a long time, Xiao Lei, I want to hear your opinion, how to find this person?"

Zhang Lei said: "Mr. Wang, I don't understand this, it depends on your requirements, we are so big in China, there must be talents to meet the needs." ”

Wang Anran said: "First of all, we must understand the current development trend of the IT/IC industry, understand the relevant countries and companies, and secondly, have certain channels for obtaining information."

In fact, in the final analysis, it is to require this person to provide a full range of information, so that Huaxin Technology knows what the opponent is doing, what he wants to do, what the company intends to cooperate with, and what difficulties he is facing......"

Zhang Lei listened to it for a long time before he came back to his senses, and asked with some uncertainty: "Mr. Wang, how did I listen to what you said, it's similar to a spy......

Commercial espionage is too common, and Wang Anran can be sure that there must be a lot of commercial spies hidden within Huaxin Technology.

Therefore, in the second half of 1994, employees who entered the company and wanted to enter the core confidentiality department needed to be reviewed layer by layer.

Your life experience, rewards and punishments are clearly written in the file, which also brings a lot of convenience to the audit.

Wang Anran took a sip of water, sat back on the sofa, and said: "The information director has to do a lot more than commercial espionage, and the information obtained still needs to be sorted out and processed, cited to demonstrate the authenticity of the information, and evaluate the possible impact of the information on the company." ”

Zhang Lei listened to it with a big head, shook his head and said: "There are really not many people who can meet these requirements, I think the only way to find them is to go to the national security department to find them." ”

Wang Anran was noncommittal, and said in his heart, Huaxin Technology is making such a big move now, and the national security department is afraid that it will come in a long time ago.

"Zhang Lei, your administration department is planning candidates to start establishing an information security department, and the position of information security director is temporarily vacant. ”

"Mr. Wang, I don't know what the selection criteria are?"

Wang Anran shook his head, now he is riding a donkey to read the record book, and he will look at it while walking.

"Let's have an interview, list the requirements of the information security department, and ask them what they think about how they will work if they enter the information department. ”

Zhang Lei picked up the pen and recorded it, and after Wang Anran finished speaking, he said: "Mr. Wang, there are thousands of people in the whole company, so the difficulty of the audition is still too great, I wonder if it is necessary to set a precondition." ”

Wang Anran suddenly became interested and asked, "What conditions?"

Zhang Lei said: "Mr. Wang, according to what you just said, my understanding is that this person must have a certain international vision and a certain judgment on the development trend of the industry.

So, do we do a test on the current international hot research, pass the test, and then proceed to the next step of the interview? ”

"Okay, Zhang Lei, that's it!"

…………

There is no secret in this world, Huaxin Technology bought a chip production line from Toshiba, and almost at the same time as placing an order, the news spread to its counterparts in Europe and the United States, and the ears of Wall Street crocodiles who still have hope for Huaxin Keju.

Their common point of view is that Huaxin Technology is going farther and farther on the road to death.

Fei Li Luo's paper, thoughtful, he was thinking, Huaxin Technology wants to play chip production, Intel can also sell two backward production lines to them, not only to recoup the funds, but also to distract the other party.

And Clark sneered, he was no stranger to Huaxin Technology's sassy operation, and suddenly entered two unfamiliar fields, even if the graphics card made money, I am afraid that it would not be able to support it.

But that's fine, if Huaxin Technology goes bankrupt, at that time, Goldman Sachs will need less capital to become Huaxin, and I'm afraid that Huaxin Technology will be endorsed by the Chinese government, which will be difficult to do.

The most puzzling thing is that IBM took the initiative to sell a 1.5-micron chip production line to Huaxin Technology.

Wang Anran was dumbfounded when he saw the offer, 30 million US dollars, the price was less than half of Toshiba, but looking at the parameters, Wang Anran scolded the Yankees for being too ghostly.

The technology used in the late 70s, the equipment more than ten years ago, was originally designed to be a 5-micron process, and after several upgrades, it barely supported 1.5-micron manufacturing, and the manual alignment system was still used.

Compared with Toshiba's equipment, it has lagged behind a lot, there is no room for upgrades, and it only supports the manufacturing of 6-inch chips at most, not including packaging equipment.

IBM representative Page said bluntly: "Mr. Wang, IBM has three sets of such equipment, if Huaxin Technology orders at one time, IBM can give appropriate discounts." ”

Wang Anran's first feeling was that this was a sugar pill, and the bread in it must be poison.

Experience has shown that it is certainly not a good thing to take the initiative to deliver to your door.

But what happened next, Wang Anran was a little incomprehensible.

"Mr. Wang, IBM is sincerely committed to maintaining a good cooperative relationship with Huaxin Technology, and we can continue to carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of workstations and memory.

Even in the CPU CPU, IBM can provide as much help as possible to Huaxin Technology. ”

Wang Anran said with a smile: "Mr. Page, I don't know what kind of help IBM provides in CPU research and development?"

Page said: "Mr. Wang, IBM can authorize Huaxin Technology to use the instruction set of the POWER generation, and even part of the architecture!"

"Just a generation?"

Page nodded and said: "The second generation of POWER is jointly developed by IBM, Apple, and Motorola, and IBM does not have complete intellectual property rights...... So ......"

Wang Anran knew that this was just an excuse, even if he had complete intellectual property rights, it was impossible to authorize it, who would give away the guy who ate casually.

In previous lives, both Intel and AMD had licensed the x86 architecture to Chinese companies, and that was when Loongson made breakthroughs.

The authorization is only to strangle Loongson's independent research and development road.

But IBM is now opening up the Power processor technology for what it is.

He will not think that IBM is simply well-intentioned, you must know that the technology of the Power generation, compared with the Intel Pentium processor, the entire architecture is not lagging behind.

Would an American company support a Chinese company that competes broadly with it?

You don't have to guess to know!

Wang Anran quickly touched the answer, this is a report from Wanwan.

"TSMC test workshop, lost a batch of Huaxin Technology CPU tape-out ......"
