Chapter 314: Chip Foundry

The chip industry is huge and the industrial chain is huge, which can be said to be interlocking.

As far as the birth of a chip is concerned, in the simplest description, a complete chip can only be born after IC design, then wafer production and packaging.

IC testing, on the other hand, includes design verification, process control inspection, wafer testing, and finished product testing.

Every step of the way is a world-class problem.

Kunlun chip only did the initial IC design, and the subsequent wafer processing and packaging needed to be done by other companies.

In fact, in the mid-to-late 80s of the last century, Intel and Samsung had complete production lines in chip production, from design to production, testing, and packaging, forming a huge industrial monopoly chain in the chip industry.

However, in 1987, TSMC, the world's first professional wafer foundry, came out, breaking this monopoly.

By 2002, TSMC had developed into the first foundry company to enter the top 10 in the semiconductor industry, ranking ninth in the global semiconductor industry.

By 2010, TSMC had grown into a semiconductor giant with more than 400 customers worldwide and producing more than 7,000 chips.

In fact, emotionally speaking, Lu Yan wants to cooperate with SMIC Internationally, but unfortunately the Kirin 920 is a 28nm process. In August 2010, SMIC successfully achieved mass production of 65nm process.

Chip manufacturing in the mainland still has a long way to go!

For the foundry application of Kunlun chips, TSMC is welcome. After all, that's what people do, especially some excellent IC design companies, who may cooperate for a long time in the future, are all financiers!

For example, in 19 years, the United States targeted Huawei and restricted American companies from selling high-tech products to Huawei, and major semiconductor companies stood in line.

However, TSMC has never severed its relationship with Huawei because it has already signed an agreement.

Of course, for Huawei, it is still a bit dangerous to rely entirely on others for chip production.

Lu Yan also knows this, but the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step.

Even if he wants to save points to exchange for lithography machine technology, he has to wait for the company under his name to grow and grow, earn money, and get money points.

At the end of December, Lu Yan flew to the treasure island, relying on his net worth and knowledge, supplemented by many "tactics" such as "Taoist friends staying", "fate with me", "fame golden body", "soul torture" and so on.

The Shenlong 920 chip was officially handed over to TSMC for OEM production.

At the last moment, Lu Yan still held back, and instead of snatching the name of the Kirin series of HiSilicon chips, he casually gave the name of a dragon.

After New Year's Day, Lu Yan flew back to China from Baodao, but heard news from a headhunting company.

Yu Chengdong, Huawei's president of Europe, recently returned to China and arrived in Shenzhen, presumably for some year-end meetings.

Lu Yan didn't grab the name of the Kirin series, and he was quite optimistic about the general under Mr. Ren.

Immediately took a plane from Jinling to Shenzhen and made an appointment with a headhunter.

In a café in Longgang, Sun Wei, a professional headhunter in her early thirties, wore a floral dress and elegantly leaned back on a chair to drink coffee.

She is waiting for Lu Yan, an entrepreneur worth billions and a sports star.

However, in the company's view, this person should have one more name, that is-Zonghengjia!

This Lu Yan is like Su Qin and Zhang Yi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as if he has a three-inch tongue.

In the past year or two, they have come into contact with many high-end talents through their company, many of whom have served in a company for many years, have options or equity, and even they find it difficult to dig up.

But when they provided information and asked Lu Yan to talk in person, there was a chance that they would change jobs.

The boss even said that he was simply a natural headhunter.

Some people also say that Lu Yan is suitable for being a spy, and he will flicker and cripple people.

Sun Wei said in her heart: "Such a handsome person, he is so dazzling wherever he goes, how can he be a spy, and a heart thief is almost the same!"

While she was thinking wildly, the light in front of her suddenly dimmed, and a man dressed casually with sunglasses came up to her, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Mr. Lu, it's coming quickly!"

"I've kept you waiting!" Lu Yan sat down, asked for a cup of coffee first, and then took off his sunglasses when things were delivered.

smiled at the woman in front of him, "Yu Zong's information and itinerary, have you gotten it?"

Sun Wei nodded and chuckled: "Of course, we are professional in this regard." After all, you need to talk about it in person, if we can't even do this little thing, how can we charge you!"

With that, he took out a document bag from his bag.

Lu Yan opened it and took a closer look, and at a glance, he took in all the information.

After all, if you want to fool people and understand the other party's information, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine.

However, judging from the current information, Yu Chengdong's schedule is very tight, and it is a meeting for several days, but he booked a ticket to Paris the day after tomorrow.

It's not like you're leaving after the meeting, but it's pretty much the same.

Lu Yan stretched out his hand and knocked on the information, and said in his heart: "It's hard to say in other places, there are still opportunities at the airport or on the plane." ”

Sun Wei said: "Judging from the current information, the other party should not have much free time. Why don't we give him a call and tell him about your sincerity?"

Yu Chengdong's mobile phone number, headhunting companies can naturally get it.

But Lu Yan doesn't like the method of phone invitations, he prefers face-to-face interviews.

It's like Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to look at the thatched house three times, so that he paid attention to it.

If you want to write a letter, you want to ask someone to go out of the mountain, what is this, conscription?

During the entrepreneurial period, you have to put the posture of Corporal Lixian out!

waved his hand and said: "No, I'll figure it out myself, you have the latest information changes over there, notify me in time!"

After that, put away the information, put on the sunglasses, and look like you want to go.

Sun Wei was a little flustered, she thought she could talk slowly, have dinner or something.

In the deep town in January, the temperature is actually very low. She wore only a long skirt and a shawl.

Although there is a car for travel, it is also very cold when you get out of the car and walk.

It's a pity that after a lot of hard work, this person didn't look at her a few times.

"Mr. Lu, you came from afar, look, how about I invite you to have a meal in the evening and wash the dust for you?"

Lu Yan was stunned and smiled, he couldn't see this woman's thoughts.

It's like those beautiful girls, who don't know what is going on in the minds of those men who are surrounded and courteous.

Annoyed: "It's a pity, I made an appointment with a friend in the evening, otherwise, I'll see if I'm free in the past two days, let's go out for a meal together!"

Sun Wei was slightly disappointed, and had some expectations in her heart. She was still a little confident in her appearance, and said with a smile: "Then, I'll just wait for your call!"
