Ma Xiaoyang is very worried about this, Ma Yue's child grows up, and he is not a well-known Internet 'Apo Lord' or a P-map god or something, then their old Ma family will have a lot of fun.

Through the unremitting efforts of experts, and the addition of a large number of new forces in the Electronic Science and Technology Research Center, the wafer manufacturing technology has received good news, and the new wafer production equipment that is comparable to the international third-generation wafer production technology standards has been successfully developed.

Ma Xiaoyang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he received the news, with the new wafer production technology, their various electronic products, there is also the possibility of using their own chips, Chief Ni has already designed a new chip based on the third-generation wafer production standards, and is waiting for a breakthrough in wafer production technology.

Even if he is as strong as Chief Engineer Ni, there are areas that he is not good at, his strength is chip design and system programming, although he can be said to understand wafer production, but it is limited to understanding, to talk about technical help, it is impossible.

Because wafer production technology, as the upstream technology of chip manufacturing, and the chip is the carrier of the system, at first glance it must be a proper technology in the field of electronic technology, but the actual situation is that wafer production technology is very different from the field of electronic technology.

The first step of wafer production technology involves chemical knowledge, first of all, the sand and gravel raw materials rich in silicate and silica are processed at high temperature and a series of chemical reactions to produce metallurgical grade pure silicon with a purity of more than 98%.

If you think you can produce a wafer with this purity, then you're Ultra. Metallurgical-grade pure silicon also undergoes a chemical reaction to produce liquid silicon, and then goes through a series of re-examination distillation and purification processes to finally obtain a silicon that makes people feel maddened to be pure.

For example, the so-called 10,000 pure gold, its purity is 99.99 percent, which is the purity of four nines, and 100,000 pure gold is three nines after the decimal point, that is, 99.999 percent.

So, what is the purity requirement for silicon, which can be used as a raw material for wafer production? The answer is 99.9 percent...... Nine, this decimal point should be followed by at least nine nines, this outrageous nine-digit purity of silicon after the decimal point is called electronic grade silicon.

This purity of silicon is obtained, and the first of the three steps of wafer production is completed, which is the refining and purification of silicon. Next, there is the growth of monocrystalline silicon.

If you think that the purity requirement of nine nine decimal places for silicon is unimaginable, then please sit down and look at the word "grow" pure silicon with the purest and cutest eyes.

The growth of silicon depends on a kind of dongdong called seed crystal, which is like the best refining material in the fantasy, which determines the directionality of the crystal's 'growth', and finally grows into a monocrystalline silicon rod with the same direction as the internal lattice of the seed crystal.

The production of the monocrystalline silicon rod is completed by cutting and grinding it 'chemically mechanically' to obtain a wafer that is at least as smooth as a mirror. Keep in mind that after these three steps are completed, the resulting thing is only the initial state of the wafer.

If the chip is a painting, then the wafer at this time is just a piece of paper, a blank piece of paper. Next, it has to be painted layer by layer like an oil painting by a painting master, and the designed circuit diagram is 'depicted' to finally form a chip that can be used.

The challenges to be faced in the process of 'painting' include special chemical colloids, laser etching technology and other anti-human black technologies that make people confused when they hear about it, and this is also the most difficult technology, and it is also the technology that the fab needs to focus on.

For the sake of these technologies that are kept secret from us, Ma Xiaoyang invested a quarter of the electronic technology research center, and after several years of development, it has reached the international average level of chip manufacturing technology.

Why is it general, because advanced chip manufacturing is already a common fourth-generation standard, and high-end chip manufacturing has spied on the requirements of the fifth-generation standard. The chip manufacturing of Asia Commercial Investment is just the most common third-generation technical standard on the market.

At the scene, an old expert sighed: "Hey, it's backward when it comes out of production!"

Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Backward products are better than unproduced products." I don't dislike backwardness, but this kind of mainstream standard chip in the market is the most demanded product, that is, this is the most profitable product.

With profits, we can have more funds to invest in R&D, open up a path of sustainable development, and get rid of the dependence on imports of chips. ”

Chief Engineer Ni looked at Ma Xiaoyang with a smile: "You kid want to make this thing stink again?"

Ma Xiaoyang rolled his eyes: Chief Engineer Ni, I don't like to hear what you say, what is it called smelly! We are not cheap, we do not form an absolute price advantage, and no one in China buys our things, do you believe it or not?"

Chief Engineer Ni nodded, Ma Xiaoyang was right, spending the same money, who doesn't buy 'imported' things, it's no wonder who, who makes their products not tested by the market!

"So, our mass production line is also OEM?"

"Hahaha" Ma Xiaoyang laughed! "OEM, who do we OEM to? Don't expect foreign companies, people won't choose us, because they don't look down on us." As for the domestic, I'm sorry, except for special enterprises, the rest of the companies that need to use chips are either invested by our Asian Commercial Investment or invested by our Asian Commercial Investment.

As for the rest, it's not that I look down on them, even if Chief Ni helps them design the chip, they can't develop the corresponding products, as far as technology research and development is concerned, I have despised them for many years!"

Chief Engineer Ni and they all laughed when they heard Ma Xiaoyang's words, and Chief Engineer Ni said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, now that many new investment companies have been established outside that are willing to invest in technology, our domestic business atmosphere has also improved a lot." However, if this continues, Asia Commercial Investment also has competitors. ”

Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "That's actually better, a lonely tree doesn't make a forest, our Asia Commercial Investment is a seedling in China, very unique, and too conspicuous, I hope that Asia Commercial Investment can have more competitors, that proves that our domestic economic development has begun to move towards the second stage based on technological innovation, which is a great victory." ”

Chief Engineer Ni said with a smile: "You can think about it!"

Ma Xiaoyang smiled, why can't he think about it, the basic industries are occupied by Asia Commercial Investment, and no one can eat without Asian Commercial Investment, he naturally hopes to attract more and more star enterprises to develop, so as to cover up the glory of Asian Commercial Investment.
