Kevin Carr bought out the set of 3D flash memory patents that Toshiba had obtained a three-year license for 1.2 billion, and continued to show his edge, using $460 million to bid for the exclusive global authorization of DDR4 patents for the next 20 years.

The restriction is only that Xinhuo Technology itself can also produce and sell globally.

And some patents that are not at the same level as 3D flash memory architecture and DDR4, Kevin Carr did not make any more moves.

Although DACs and image processors are also world-leading, their monopoly advantages and profits are not so great.

Of course, a big player like Samsung has not let it go. Li Rong paid $46 million and $79 million respectively to win the 20-year exclusive license of the two chips.

The restrictions are also stricter, and the industries under the Flint Group can only use these two chips for their own use.

Gu Song didn't care about this, anyway, it was just the first two generations of machines used by the rover.

Even some core patents like 4G communication technology, he took them out.

Feng Qingyang and Ma Krypton looked at Ren Zhengfei with a little surprise, because in fact, the overall solution of 4G, Suishi Technology and Huawei have contributed part of their own achievements.

I saw that Ren Zhengfei didn't have any expression, but when he saw them, he smiled gently.

Feng Qingyang thought about it, as if he understood a little.

Perhaps, it is to let a part of the patent pool go out, so that the 4G standard can be implemented faster?

This part of the core patent of 4G, unsurprisingly, was taken away by Kevin Carr.

The remaining part of the patents were acquired by Ericsson.

It's even more like that now.

Maybe...... After the Lihu conference, it will be rumored that IP companies with a full set of patents for 4G communication technology will appear, and the shareholders are these people.

Then the 4G standard was successfully implemented and officially promoted to commercial use. Everyone pays a uniform fee to the company, and the shareholders share the fruit.

Gu Song smiled and watched the auctioneer knock on the hammer and enter the most important patent.

"The 22nm process and the 3D three-gate transistor process are bundled together for a 20-year global exclusivity. The restrictions refer to the patent of DDR4, which only does not restrict the production and sales of Xinhuo Technology in the world. The starting price is $1 billion, and each price increase must not be less than $10 million!"

With a starting price of $1 billion, is it a bargain for art auctions? The auctioneer feels that after the auction is finished tonight, he must have a hard time!

In the face of this process, which has really gone to the front of the times for at least five to ten years, and is the most core, the major consortia can no longer press the reserve.

Although it's only a 20-year license, not a real buyout.

But 20 years from now, how much value will the most cutting-edge and core technology in the entire field of integrated circuits produce?

The billion-dollar annual R&D spending of the major giants, what is the picture?

It's not about staying ahead of the curve and maintaining a monopoly position!

Now, how much money can I save by saving 5 years, and how much more can I earn?

It's a strategic thing!

If the previous 3D flash memory and DDR4, or 4G technology, were only played by half-enterprises and half-nationals, then the 22nm process, which now involves the evolution of all-round process technology, is a matter of national strategy.

Who knows what percentage of the source of this money is the company's own?

Even the representatives of Bay Semiconductor Company have come to an end.

The price quickly soared to $3 billion, and only then did it begin to increase in tens of millions.

The auctioneer's face turned red: "3.17 billion US dollars, is No. 7's financial strength the most abundant? He has spent more than 2 billion US dollars to win many patents, and others have a great opportunity!"

Okamura is representing the consortium behind him and adds $30 million again, but he knows that this is just a formality.

However, since the Illuminati are determined to control these patents, they will have to pull out a little more. Only in this way can everyone unite in the future and ask for a little benefit in the situation where other parties use them to withdraw such a large amount of money!

Li Rong added another 50 million backhand, and the representative sent by Wanji added another 75 million.

Intel's representative Lao Shen is there, and the sign is not raised.

Their rival, AMD, also looked at the competition with a smile on his face.

For them, they know that in the end, these technologies need to be transformed into benefits through them.

Anyway, their own shareholders have their shadows behind them. These specific distributions will be left for later, anyway, it is not the first time.

After Kevin Carr shouted the high price of 4.18 billion again, the bidding finally died down.

After shouting three times, the auctioneer excitedly knocked on the hammer: "$4.18 billion, deal!"

Although the commission for this auction is not even half of the normal one, the total turnover is really impressive! Although it is less than 10 billion US dollars, it is not far off!

Gu Song stood up and applauded at this time: "Congratulations, Mr. Kevin." ”

Kevin Carr smiled and said, "Mr. Gu Song's career deserves our support!"

Gu Song ignored his words, took the position of auctioneer on the stage and said: "There is a special plan next, that is, the EUV lithography machine mentioned at the press conference. Everyone judged that if the equipment and process were not able to continue to iterate at a faster pace, Moore's Law would soon not be maintained. Flint Technology is embarking on the research and development of the next generation of lithography machines, and is also exploring the idea of the next generation of process technology. ”

"Recently, we have made some small progress, and at the same time, we have realized that perhaps the process technology that has entered the 10nm level can no longer use traditional lithography thinking to overcome the difficulties, but needs to be combined with material structure technology. I believe that friends from Intel and other companies have felt the difficulty of this complex project in the process of participating in ASML's EUV lithography machine project. ”

"Now, Flint Technology is also here to participate in the research and development of the EUV lithography project of Flinth Technology and Huaguo Huhai Microelectronics Equipment from ASML, as well as enterprises and capital interested in the EUV lithography machine project. The full set of patented technologies of EUV lithography machines developed through this cooperation will eventually be jointly operated by all participants according to their contribution proportions. ”

Gu Song said sincerely in the spotlight: "Friends, this may be one of the most sophisticated instruments and equipment that mankind has ever developed! The further development of civilization has required close cooperation on a global scale. For example, the International Space Station, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) program, and the Large Hadron Collider program are all the results of this development. Now, in the field of integrated circuits, we have also come to a position close to the limit, and moving forward requires greater investment and more communication. ”

"Now, the immersion lithography machine can maintain a sufficient yield rate at 22nm. But in two years, once we need to enter the field of 15nm process, I hope that there will be a new generation of lithography machines to support it. To be honest, today Flint Technology is willing to come up with so many leading achievements and carry out different degrees of open authorization and even transfer, which is to try a new cooperation and development model from the closed and monopoly industry environment. ”

"After all, the global market is still very big, isn't it? Why don't we hurry up and push the world into the future?"

The crowd was not impressed by his seemingly impassioned gesture.

It's a message he revealed.

Two years later, will EUV lithography machines be available?

If it could, it would be possible to maintain the tradition of Moore's Law guiding the laws of the industry for a longer period of time, provided that...... Don't have any more guys like this to disrupt the rhythm.

Intel's representative said directly: "We hope that Flinth, as an important representative of HSIA, will participate in the formulation of ITRS, and follow the guidance of the international semiconductor technology development blueprint to develop together with the semiconductor industry." ”

Gu Song smiled brightly: "This is the honor of Flint Technology. ”

This is because I feel that the technology development blueprint has been disrupted too much by Flint Technology.

Want to pull Flint Technology together and sit in a row to set the rules, and then you have to follow them?
