Chapter 434 Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering Center

Chapter 434 Center for Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering

didn't sit in Zhang Xiao's room for too long, Hu Yang and Chen Jialin said goodbye and left together.

"Brother Hu, since you still have something to do here, why don't I go to Baishan with Jiajia and the others first. When you're done here, you can go to us with Zhang Dong. ”

Chen Jialin has nothing to do with high-end lithography machine projects, so it is impossible for him to go to the optical machine institute with Hu Yang.

"That's okay, tomorrow you and Jiajia, Sichun, Lu Dacheng and Ade will go to Baishan first, and Assistant Lin and Ajie will stay. I'll look for you in the White Mountains later. ”

Zhang Xiao means to get in touch with the optical machine institute first, and then go to Baishan for a skiing vacation.

Populus euphratica doesn't matter, but there's no need for a group of people to stay here and wait for themselves.

Set the next itinerary, and early the next morning, Chen Jialin took a large group of people and rented a car from the hotel and went straight to Baishan.

Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao came to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics after going to work in the morning.

"Mr. Hu, let's wait at the door for a while, I have a friend who is an employee of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and he will come out to pick us up later. ”

As an important research institution in China, it is naturally impossible to enter and exit as casually as a vegetable market.

Zhang Xiao's friend is the deputy director of the Ultra-precision Optical Engineering Center of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and he came to discuss things with the institute this time, and he introduced him to him.

Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao waited less than five minutes before a car drove out of the gate and stopped on the side of the gate. Immediately after, the two saw a middle-aged man in a tweed coat getting out of the car and walking over.

"Mr. Hu, let me introduce to you, this is my good friend, Director Lin Qianxiang of the Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering Center. Qianxiang, this is the head of the Huijia department I told you, Hu Yang, Hu Zong. ”

Zhang Xiao introduced the two, and Lin Qianxiang shook hands with Hu Yang warmly.

"Hehe, it's the deputy director, Mr. Zhang, don't scream. Mr. Hu, welcome to the Optical Machinery Institute for inspection! Two, please come with me. ”

Lin Qianxiang is very thoughtful in dealing with people, which is even stronger than Zhang Xiao.

"Qianxiang, we have told you about our intention this time, do you think the problem is big?"

Although Zhang Xiao has a good relationship with Lin Qianxiang, this kind of cooperation between two units is not something that can be decided by any one person.

"Well, that's not a good question to answer. It just so happens that Director Liao of the center is also here today, and I will take you to meet him now, and if you have any ideas, you can sit down and talk slowly. ”

Lin Qianxiang snorted, asked Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao to get in the car, and then drove the two to the ultra-precision optical engineering center.

The optical machine covers a large area, covering an area of 540,000 square meters. According to Lin Qianxiang, there are more than 2,000 employees in the institute, and nearly 1,000 graduate students are enrolled.

Walking into the building of the ultra-precision optical engineering center, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao not only need to show their documents, but also fill in detailed personal information.

After registering their personal information, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao were allowed to follow Lin Qianxiang into the building.

"Lao Zhang, Mr. Hu, don't mind. The level of confidentiality of the unit is relatively high, and the identification of outsiders is a necessary procedure. ”

Even with the deputy director of the center under the leadership, the security procedures are very strict.

Hu Yang felt that he should also learn from others, and when he turned around, he asked Han Wen to raise the security level of the various research departments of the Huijia Department.

Lin Qianxiang led the two to the conference room and sat down, and someone brought tea. A short time later, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and glasses walked in.

"Director Liao, this is Chairman Zhang Xiao of Modu Microelectronics Co., Ltd., this is the boss of Huijia International Investment Company and Huijia Holding Company, Hu Yang. Zhang Dong, Mr. Hu, this is the director of my center, Liao Zheng. ”

Lin Qianxiang smiled and introduced everyone to each other, and Liao Zheng came over and greeted Zhang Xiao and Hu Yang one by one.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hu, on behalf of the Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering Center, I would like to welcome you to the two of you. Microelectronics is currently working on high-end lithography machines? Great, this is a very cutting-edge technology. ”

Director Liao is no stranger to lithography machines, in fact, the first contact lithography machine has been successfully developed in China in the 70s, and this has an important contribution to the Institute of Optical Machinery.

At that time, AMSL, the company that would become famous all over the world, had not yet been founded.

However, in the eighties, due to various reasons, the continued research and development of lithography machines was abandoned in China, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

"Director Liao, Deputy Director Lin, Mr. Hu and I came to your unit this time to ask for help. The research and development of high-end lithography machines has a long way to go, but the problem of light source must be solved first. In this field, our Checheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics is undoubtedly the industry leader in China, and I hope to get your support. ”

Zhang Xiao knew that people were usually very busy, and it was for Lin Qianxiang's face to meet today, so he had something to say.

Hu Yang sat quietly without squeaking, he was invited to cooperate with Zhang Xiao this time, and he didn't need to play for the time being.

"Mr. Zhang, at present, our center has a number of national key research projects under research, and I can't spare too much energy for the time being. However, the major equipment of integrated circuits is also in line with the national policy orientation, and we try to find a way to set up a project team for the light source of lithography equipment in a short period of time. ”

Director Liao also has difficulties, and he is really not an official.

At present, some research institutions do not have projects at all, and there are no research topics, so naturally there is not much funding. However, the Institute of Optics and Mechanics is different, the major scientific research projects in the institute are too busy, and there is really no motivation to accept cooperation matters entrusted by other units.

This is what Lin Qianxiang introduced, otherwise Director Liao would not have said so much nonsense.

Zhang Xiao smiled and expressed her gratitude, but the disappointment in her eyes couldn't be hidden, even Populus Hu could see it.

Lin Qianxiang couldn't say anything, so he could only cheer Zhang Xiao on the side and let him wait patiently for a while.

"Director Liao, you must know better than me how important high-end lithography equipment is to the domestic integrated circuit industry. We have submitted our report to the above and hope to receive support at the national level.

In total, once the state considers vigorously supporting microelectronic equipment companies, in the end, the light source will still fall on the head of your unit, it is really better for us to start it as soon as possible, and it can also save time for research and development. ”

Hu Yang said with a smile at this time, his words were not to force the other party, but to state a fact.

Hearing Hu Yang's words, Zhang Xiao secretly applauded, and Lin Qianxiang was thoughtful.

Director Liao thought for a while, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Hu, your proposal is also very reasonable. I still have some understanding of the current international lithography equipment, and most of the companies that can develop lithography equipment have abandoned the 157nm light source and used the 193 (nm) ArF light source instead.

For the 193 (nm) ArF light source, in fact, we have already had a relatively in-depth research, and it is not difficult to produce results. However, I heard that ASML has joined forces with a number of chip manufacturing giants to start developing 35 (nm) EUV light source technology. For this technology, our accumulation is almost zero. ”

"Director Liao, we need a 193 (nm) ArF light source now, if you can help us solve this problem, the domestic high-end lithography machine may be born as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Zhang Xiao heard Director Liao say this, he knew that the other party had found a step, so he hurriedly went down the steps and gave a round to the few people present.

At this time, Lin Qianxiang also smiled: "Look at it, I have made a misunderstanding for a long time." Director Liao, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu are not easy, why don't we take some manpower out and help them solve the problem with the 193 (nm) ArF light source?"

"Okay, let's give it a try. ”

Director Liao finally spat out and promised to get the light source out as soon as possible.

"Thank you Director Liao, thank you Deputy Director Lin. Please rest assured, the funds for the research and development of 193 (nm) ArF light source, we can absolutely guarantee that the specific matters will be discussed by the board of directors of Zhang. ”

Hu Yang knew that the research and development work must be guaranteed by sufficient funds, and he quickly expressed his position. As for the remaining technical issues, naturally someone else will come to negotiate, and today only the principles will be finalized.

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Hu is the big benefactor. The two of you have come from afar to visit the center in a while, and I will invite you to dinner at noon. ”

Director Liao glanced at Hu Yang a little more, and said in his heart, this young man seems to be very rich, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to boast about Haikou just now.

To be honest, he really didn't know which onion the "Huijia Department" was, after all, the Institute of Optics and Mechanics was different from private research institutions.

Subsequently, Director Liao and Lin Qianxiang accompanied the two around the center, and they didn't take them to the secret places, but even so, it opened the eyes of Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao.

At lunchtime, Lin Qianxiang found an opportunity to introduce the "Huijia Department" to Director Liao. Director Liao learned that Hu Yang's assets included a number of listed companies, as well as some companies in Xiangjiang and overseas, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

"Mr. Hu, I heard that your company still has R&D institutions overseas? However, for example, your Huijia International Investment Company is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, and it is said that you have also registered an offshore company, which is convenient for your overseas development.

Like us, we can't do it, we belong to the national team, and our foreign exchanges and cooperation have been greatly restricted, let alone have our own laboratories overseas. ”

Director Liao is telling the truth, the West is very wary of state-owned enterprises and research institutions, especially the United States.

Of course, Hu Yang knew this, and he wondered if he was looking for an opportunity to acquire an ultra-precision optical engineering research institute abroad.

But if you think about it, forget it, the technology in this area is very sensitive, so don't get into trouble when things don't get done.

But if you set up a research institute of this kind at your own expense, it is not a big problem, and it needs to be carefully considered.

After eating, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao said goodbye to Director Liao and Lin Qianxiang and returned to the hotel.
