Chapter 133 Immersion Miniature Technique
The technology of the island people in the field of semiconductor manufacturing is undoubtedly top-notch.
Wang Anran looked at Nakamura and made his request.
"Mr. Murakami, your suggestion is not non-negotiable, Huaxin Technology's opinion is that in order to ensure the non-proliferation of technology, the production of display chips must be carried out in the mainland.
And if you invest in building a factory in the mainland, Huaxin Technology can hand over other chip foundry business to you. ”
After hearing this, Murakami felt that Wang Anran had no sincerity to cooperate at all.
How much does a wafer processing plant cost, hundreds of millions of dollars, and according to the provisions of the successor of Batumi, the Wassenaar Agreement, high-precision semiconductor technology must comply with the non-proliferation agreement, even if you want to, it is difficult to do.
Not to mention that Nintendo is a game company that does not have the ability to build a wafer processing factory, even if it does, it means that Nintendo will be the next Toshiba.
"Wang Sang, your requirements are too high, even if there is no interference from other factors, a new set of 800nm wafer processing plant requires funds that Nintendo cannot afford, so ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Anran has nothing to hide.
"Mr. Murakami, you can rest assured that Huaxin Technology can pay this money, and it does not need the most advanced technology, the 1.5 micron semiconductor manufacturing process can, in return, Huaxin is willing to authorize the display chip technology at the same time, and pay 10% of the value of the production line service fee, what do you think?"
In 1995, TSMC also entered the 800nm manufacturing process, and the current mainstream direction is 500nm, and even Intel has been doing research on the 320nm manufacturing process for a long time.
The technology, which is three generations apart, belongs to the third category of surveillance items at most in the Wassenaar Agreement, and there are not many problems in terms of procedure.
Wang Anran saw that Murakami was moved, and said busily: "Mr. Murakami, the chip industry in the island country continues to shrink, Toshiba, NEC, and Fujitsu have a lot of idle production capacity, I think it should not be very difficult to buy a 1.5 micron production line, if Nintendo is willing to be this lobbyist, Huaxin Technology is willing to provide Mr. Murakami with $500,000 in lobbying funds." ”
Murakami was suffocated for a while after hearing this, although he had a lot of income, he was also short of money.
A few years ago, like most islanders, he invested all his assets, even bank loans, in the stock market and the housing market, and even now, Murakami is still under heavy financial pressure.
$500,000 seemed to him to be able to free him from his shackles.
Coupled with this matter, there is hardly much risk, and what he needs to do is very simple, which is to lobby Nintendo's top management to agree with his idea, after all, the company can also get a 10% commission.
Thinking of this, Murakami nodded and said: "Wang Sang, I think your suggestion will be of interest to Nintendo, but I have a question, that is, the 1.5 micron production process cannot meet the processing requirements of the display chip......"
Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders, you Nakamura just need to get the production line, it doesn't matter if the display chip is given to you, after all, the future trend is the full-architecture stream processor design, and your chip production line is the same, backward things, in the eyes of the owner, are not as important as outsiders think......
…………
1.5 microns, if a 1.5 micron production line can be obtained, Huaxin Technology can completely produce its own auxiliary chips, and can even supply domestic single-chip microcomputer production.
Even Jiang Yan's decoding chips and embedded system chips have no problems.
It is completely possible to invest in it and generate value.
Of course, this production line can also be used for teaching and research.
Wang Anran looked at the water cup on the table, he even had a more daring attempt, if the 1.5 micron process was implemented on the invasive micro-shadow technology, what would be the performance.
The so-called immersion micro-shadow technology is to splash a layer of water film of a specific thickness on the wafer, and when the light passes through the water film, it will be refracted to reduce the originally large projection by 30% to 40%, and the significant change brought by it is a significant improvement in the manufacturing process.
This technology has been studied since the 80s, but researchers have found that water splashing on wafers can have unintended consequences, and air bubbles in the water can seriously affect wafer chip yield.
In addition, during this time, the international development of light sources has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the wavelength of light has soon developed to 192 nanometers, which can already meet the needs of miniatures.
Therefore, the research of this technology has been stalled, and it was only picked up after 2000.
That's long enough.
Huaxin Technology wants to overtake in corners, but it can't do it without playing some tricks.
Immersion miniature technology is the future development direction, and compared with lithography machines, it is undoubtedly much less difficult.
In the first batch of cooperation with Qingda, Wang Anran allocated a huge amount of funds for the study of water and other liquids, the refraction of light at various wavelengths, and the accuracy of the measurement data was required to be in the sixth decimal place.
At the same time, we conduct in-depth research on the formation of water films and the elimination of air bubbles.
Of course, Wang Anran also "guided" the work from time to time.
In his previous life, Wang Anran was very concerned about knowledge in the chip manufacturing industry.
Thanks to the country, in 9102, our country has mastered the technology of immersion miniature, and it has become pointless for the United States to impose a blockade.
Therefore, in the world, it is easy to find technical books related to immersion miniature, but the difference is that the wavelength of the light wave is different, and it needs to be debugged for a long time in actual operation.
Huaxin Technology needs a chip production line, Wang Anran has made a lot of attempts for this, compared with the island country, Wang Anran pinned more hopes on Zhang Dajing.
When he learned that Zhang Dajing would come to Yanjing in late May, Wang Anran was very happy, and in the evening he and his father Wang Dongsheng made a bottle of Moutai alone.
At the same time, Counter-Strike was held at the annual E3 Game Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Named "Game of the Year", "Most Creative Game of the Year", "Game Most Wanted by Players".
E3 is the largest game exhibition among the world's three major game exhibitions, and its influence in the game industry is unparalleled.
The next day, there was a sales frenzy, and 300,000 copies were sold in the United States on the same day.
Some unofficial organizations even hold a number of private tournaments, with prizes ranging from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
This naturally also contributed to the popularity of Counter-Strike.
A reporter from the Wall Street Journal commented, "No game has ever been as popular as Counter-Strike, and amazingly, it comes from China." ”
Naturally, this also caught the attention of Wall Street crocodiles.
