Chapter 463: The first high-end lithography machine was born

Chapter 463 The first high-end lithography machine was born

Driven by Mingkang Communications, other domestic communication giants have also divided part of their orders and handed them over to Xintong International.

In fact, this is a common practice for enterprises to avoid risks, and at the same time, it can also avoid the loss of pricing power caused by Taipower's dominance.

The sufficient number of orders has fully released the production capacity of Xintong International. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and the more you produce, the more you will naturally be able to accumulate a lot of experience or lessons.

This is also one of the important reasons why Xintong International has made great progress in all aspects during this period of time.

"Mr. Meng, the company's work in all aspects has made great progress, and I would like to thank all employees for their dedication. Therefore, I have to give them a raise, and I must keep this group of excellent talents. ”

Hu Yang was not only happy, but also strengthened his determination to raise the salary of all employees of the company.

When the time was almost up, Hu Yang and Meng Rusong came to the conference room.

Ladies and gentlemen, all of them have arrived.

The meeting was still presided over by Hu Yang, and Zhang Rulin went abroad to recuperate during this time, and he, the executive director, became the company's manager.

Hu Yang greeted everyone and directly talked about today's topic. There is only one topic, and that is to raise the salary of all employees of Xintong International.

"I have no opinion on the salary increase, but is the salary increase of Dong Hu's plan a little too large?"

Before the start of the meeting, Meng Rusong had already asked people to give the printed draft of the salary increase plan to the directors.

There was no objection to the salary increase itself, but some directors objected to the magnitude of the salary increase.

"Guys, that's what I think. Instead of jogging in small steps, it is better to get a raise in one go. What is the purpose of our salary increase? In addition to recognizing the work performance of the company's employees, the main purpose is to retain talents.

To this end, we have optimized the company's incentive mechanism and introduced a room sharing system. But I personally don't think that's enough. As we all know, the semiconductor industry is a technology-intensive industry, and talent is particularly critical. However, talent training in this industry is difficult and the cycle is long. We can't be a talent school for other companies. ”

Hu Yang said very honestly, for most employees, salary and benefits are the key to choosing a company.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I agree with Chairman Hu's plan. I think we have to do things in one step, and it is difficult to achieve our expected goals. ”

Huang Dong of Hantang Communication also expressed his support for Hu Yang at this time. Immediately afterwards, two more directors agreed to this salary increase plan.

Everyone understands that it is more important to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees than the increase in corporate costs brought about by salary increases.

If the technical backbone of the enterprise is poached with high salaries, it will be a disaster for the enterprise.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost over, Hu Yang said, "Then let's vote." ”

The voting results showed that no one objected to the salary increase plan proposed by Hu Yang, and it was unanimously approved.

"Thank you for your support! Mr. Meng, this matter has been resolved, and the next specific affairs will be handed over to you, and you must deal with it as soon as possible. ”

Hu Yang was overjoyed in his heart, once this resolution is formed, it can not only prevent the company's employees from being poached by others, but also reverse poaching.

After the meeting, Huang Dong specially chatted with Hu Yang.

What Huang Dong meant, since Hu Yang took the lead in setting up a high-tech venture capital fund, should he also consider giving Xintong International some funds?

Don't look at the cash flow of Xintong International has improved to a great extent, but the company's R&D expenses still need to increase. Considering the rising costs of this salary increase, it is true that some money needs to be injected.

"Huang Dong, your suggestion is very reasonable. However, there is no need to rush to raise funds for the time being, I think Xintong International can support it for a while. In this way, this option will always be maintained, and if necessary, the financing will be done in a short time. ”

Hu Yang completely controlled the high-tech venture capital fund, and when he said this, Huang Dong was relieved.

After Huang Dong left the company, Hu Yang came to Meng Rusong's office again.

"Mr. Hu, I'll report something to you. Some time ago, we OEM a small batch of CPU chips for Huaxin, and they were very satisfied. No, the other party wants to place an order for us again, and you say we can't accept it?"

Huaxin belongs to the Institute of Computer Science of the National Academy of Sciences, and has always been aiming to conquer domestic CPUs.

However, the indicators of Huaxin's products are very different from those of Intel and AMD. In addition, Huaxin does not use X86 and ARM architecture, but adopts MIPC architecture, and there are also big problems in terms of ecology.

Hu Yang feels that even if the current technology of domestic CPU is very backward, the significance of its existence is extraordinary.

"What will the new batch of CPU production orders be used for? If it is used in consumer electronics, we really can't take it. If it is used in satellites, or even supercomputing, etc., we will help them produce it. ”

Hu Yang feels that Huaxin cannot compete with Intel and AMD in the field of consumer electronics, and it is easy for people to catch the handle, thus affecting Xintong International.

But if Huaxin's CPU is used in other fields, especially in the aerospace field, it must still be resolutely supported.

"Huaxin said that it is used on satellites. ”

Meng Rusong understood Hu Yang's attitude, and he would take this new batch of orders.

At noon, after Hu Yang and Meng Rusong had lunch together, they went directly back to the "old house".

Stepping here again, Wu Xinhui's emotions can be controlled better. She found that she had fallen in love with her job as an assistant because she had been able to see a lot of things that she had never been able to do before.

Sure enough, although the level of position cannot determine a person's ability, it can determine a person's vision.

"Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhang of microelectronic equipment called and asked if you have arrived in the magic capital? He also said that if it is convenient for you, please go to the microelectronic equipment. ”

Zhang Xiao's news has always been very well-informed, and I don't know where he learned that Hu Yang came to the magic capital again.

Hu Yang thinks that Zhang Xiao is probably also eyeing the high-tech venture capital fund.

"Well, Miss Wu, you can help me call Mr. Zhang back and tell him that I will go to him at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

Hu Yang had already asked Wu Xinhui if she could go on a long-term business trip, and she said no problem. Now it's up to her recent performance, and if she does well, Hu Yang will hire her as her assistant.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. ”

Wu Xinhui didn't say much in front of Hu Yang, but she was unambiguous in carrying out the order.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Hu Yang came to Zhang Xiao's office on time.

"Mr. Hu, I've been waiting for you to inspect the work. Our microelectronic equipment is also your descendant, and you can't treat it differently. ”

When Zhang Xiao saw Populus Hu, he immediately poured bitter water. Say a thousand things and ten thousand, or microelectronic equipment is short of money. The research and development of lithography machines was originally piled up with money, and throwing money at it may not be successful, but if there is no money, then there is no idea.

"Mr. Zhang, your acting is too fake. How long has it been since the company's latest funding round ended? You're not going to tell me you're all gone, are you?"

Hu Yang is secretly funny, Zhang Xiao can pull down his face many times, which is compared with Yan Hanzhang.

"Hehe, I didn't say that there was going to be a new round of funding soon. I don't want to register with you first, so as not to be in line when I get it. ”

Zhang Xiao didn't care, her careful thoughts could be said generously.

"Yes, the investment of high-tech venture capital funds has a strict internal audit process. If Mr. Zhang feels the need for it, he can submit an application in advance. ”

The high-tech venture capital fund is now gradually on the right track, and the management system is also becoming more and more perfect. Some of the processes that need to be followed must be followed, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Zhang Xiao laughed, stood up and said, "Mr. Hu, let's go, I'll take you to see the latest progress of the R&D team." ”

Hu Yang immediately got up, took Wu Xinhui and others, and followed Zhang Xiao's footsteps.

"Mr. Hu, please see, this is the prototype of the first high-end lithography machine we have developed. The light source of this 110nm lithography machine uses the 193nm ArF light source of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and the objective lens is imported from Germany. ”

With Zhang Xiao's explanation, Hu Yang looked at the projection step-by-step lithography machine in front of him with great interest.

This moment is a milestone for everyone in the domestic semiconductor industry. This also means that the domestic high-end lithography machine has achieved a zero breakthrough, although the technical gap with foreign lithography machines is still very large, but it has made people see the dawn of hope.

"Dong Zhang, what are your next steps?"

Hu Yang calmed down a little excited and turned his head to look at Zhang Xiao.

"Our next step is to continue to push forward the research and development of lithography machines, and strive to conquer the 90nm lithography machine as soon as possible and achieve mass production. On the other hand, we will start researching the technology related to immersion lithography machines, and hope to make a breakthrough within five years. ”

At present, the newly developed 110-nanometer lithography machine of microelectronic equipment has not yet achieved mass production. Zhang Xiao intends to continue to improve the design and manufacturing to lay a solid foundation for the mass production of 90nm lithography machines in the next step.

As for the technology of immersion lithography machines, that is a later story, and it will not have practical significance until the 90nm and 65nm lithography machines are conquered, so there is no need to be too anxious for the time being.

To be honest, I saw the prototype of this 110nm lithography machine today, which made me full of confidence in domestic high-end lithography equipment. In the future, if the company has financial difficulties, I will definitely support it. ”

Technical things Populus can't help, but he can provide financial help. If microelectronic equipment submits an application to the high-tech venture capital fund, I dare not say that there is no problem with funds within 10 billion yuan.

"Haha, I'm just waiting for your words. Let's go somewhere else. ”

Zhang Xiao saw that his goal had been achieved, and he was in a good mood and did not talk nonsense, and continued to take Hu Yang and others to inspect the company.
