Applied? Material) is the world's largest nanofabrication technology company, and if it weren't for Applied? Material), chip manufacturers are going to frown -- almost all chip manufacturers are using the equipment provided by this company. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Wang Ningguo, who joined Applied Materials in the 80s, is little known, it is precisely because of his contribution that Applied Materials is the leader in the field of semiconductor production equipment!

In the 90s of the 20th century, there was a permanent display of semiconductor equipment products "Precision 5000" (Precision 5000) in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., which is considered the most important milestone in the semiconductor industry, and Applied Materials called it the most successful product of all time, and in 1993 it was included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Society of the American Museum of History, and its inventor is none other than Wang Ningguo.

Wang Ningguo was the first to propose a single chip integration process technology and developed the "Precision 5000".

The "Precision 5000" allows wafers to complete different processes on the same machine, and the advantage of applying this product is that if an error occurs during production, only one wafer is lost, whereas with older technology, a single mistake can scrap all 48 wafers. As a result, Applied Materials' orders flew like snowflakes and made it the world's largest supplier of semiconductor equipment and services!

Li Zetian has a little understanding of this person, and he is indeed amazing, with more than 100 patents, known as the "king of applied materials patents", and has jumped all the way to one of the top decision-making giants of applied materials.

A Chinese person is so outstanding in an American company that there is no other possibility than his own ability.

……

"Mr. Li, this is Applied? Material). In 1977, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy due to blind investment and a fragmented product line. At that time, James Morgan, who became the owner of Applied Materials and has served as CEO ever since, made a major decision to cut more than 50 percent of the company's business and shift the company's main business to semiconductor equipment production, which at the time had a turnover of only $17 million. However, due to the emergence of Intel's 8086 microprocessor, a new era of personal computers has been ushered in, and the semiconductor industry has also entered an era of rapid development. In 1980, the turnover exceeded 200 million US dollars!"

Applied? Material) is not yet a semiconductor equipment giant, at best it is a leader among them. After Wang Ningguo developed the "Precision 5000", it made Applied Materials really awesome.

Li Zetian nodded knowingly, thought for a while, and said: "Invest 450 million US dollars to acquire it, no more than 500 million US dollars!"

"Okay, Mr. Li!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded in response.

Subsequently, Dongfang Yuqin issued an acquisition offer to Applied Materials on behalf of Times Technology.

Intel is a subsidiary of Applied Materials (Applied?). Material), the largest user of Time Technology, which is the parent company of Intel, wants to acquire Applied? Material Inc., it's easy.

Dongfang Yuqin repeatedly hinted in the negotiations that if the acquisition failed, then Intel would choose another cooperative company! Under her coercion and inducement, Applied Materials was finally willing to accept the $480 million acquisition conditions!

After the negotiation, the people of Applied Materials still had lingering feelings about Dongfang Yuqin, and sighed that such a vigorous and resolute strong woman was too powerful.

At this time, Times Technology completed the completion of the investment in Intel, ASML, Applied? Material) to complete most of the integration of the semiconductor industry chain. In addition, Times Technology is now under the umbrella company.

In order to develop the "Precision 5000" in advance, Li Zetian went to Applied Materials to prepare to dig out Wang Ningguo.

When Li Zetian came to the company, the employees of Applied Materials were very surprised, but when they saw Dongfang Yuqin standing beside him respectfully, looking like a little secretary, everyone was stunned and shocked.

"The CEO of Times Technology is actually the secretary of Chronos Li, I'll go, could it be that he is the boss behind Times Technology!"

Li Zetian and Dongfang Yuqin went directly to the office of James Morgan, CEO of Applied Materials.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to be the real boss of this company!" James Morgan also looked surprised.

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, acknowledging his identity.

"Hello Mr. James Morgan, Applied Materials is where it is today because of your wise judgment. And I believe that under your management, Applied Materials will go from strength to strength!" Li Zetian praised.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I wonder why you're here today?" asked James Morgan.

Li Zetian asked with a smile: "Is there a person named Wang Ningguo in the company?"

"Yes......" James Morgan nodded, his face puzzled.

Li Zetian smiled: "I am also Chinese with him, so I have heard about him." Born in Nanjing, China, and raised in Taiwan, Wang received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked at the Lawrence Radiology Laboratory and Bell Laboratories before joining Applied Materials. It's rare for a Chinese person with such a resume to be found in the United States!"

James Morgan nodded and said, "He's a very good technologist here!"

"Invite him in!"

"Okay. James Morgan answered and made an immediate call.

Not long after, Wang Ningguo came to the office.

His face was full of doubts, knowing that Li Zetian had come to Applied Materials, but he didn't know why Li Zetian recruited him.

"Could it be that because Chronos Li likes to reuse Chinese, he attaches great importance to himself? Well, it should be like this......" Wang Ningguo thought to himself.

Coming to Li Zetian, Wang Ningguo took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Li, hello, I am Wang Ningguo. ”

"Well, hello!" Li Zetian looked him up and down, about thirty-five years old, not tall, and ordinary in appearance.

Li Zetian looked at him at this time and asked, "Mr. Wang Ningguo, what do you think is the biggest production drawback of the current wafer factory?"

Wang Ningguo thought for a while and replied: "If there is an error in the production process, then all 48 wafers may be scrapped!"

"Well, how do you think it should be improved?"

This question was difficult for him, and James Morgan frowned in thought.

After half a ring, Wang Ningguo and James Morgan still did not answer.

Li Zetian thought to himself, Wang Ningguo may not have thought of a single chip collection process technology now.

"Ahem......"

Li Zetian deliberately "coughed" twice to attract their attention, and then said: "I think we can develop a "single chip collection process technology", if a mistake occurs in the production process, only a wafer will be lost. ”

"Is the loss of a single chip integrated process technology just a wafer?" Wang Ningguo silently read a few words, and suddenly his eyes lit up and inspiration came. He exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Li, I've figured out how to do it!!

Genius technicians are not ordinary, James Morgan is still in a state of confusion, and Wang Ningguo has already thought of a way to achieve it.

Li Zetian said to James Morgan with a smile at this time: "Since Wang Ningguo has already thought of how to implement this technology, I think he will lead a development team to overcome this technical difficulty!"

"Well, okay. James Morgan nodded, and said in a slightly shocked tone, "If this could be achieved, Applied Materials would beat all competitors and achieve unprecedented success!!

Wang Ningguo said confidently: "Please rest assured that Mr. Li and Mr. Morgan are technically feasible, and I am more than 70% sure that this function can be realized!!

Li Zetian smiled: "Then we'll wait and see!"

After leaving Applied Materials, Dongfang Yuqin asked curiously, "Mr. Li, are you here to mention their development of a single chip integration process technology?"

"That's right, this will be an epoch-making technology that can promote the rapid development of the semiconductor industry! Previously, I couldn't guarantee whether they could develop it, but Wang Ningguo seems to know how to achieve it!" Li Zetian said seriously.

"In this way, he is really a talent!" Dongfang Yuqin said thoughtfully.

"Well, it's going to be reused in the future!"

"Mr. Li, the semiconductor industry, you're almost done, what are we going to do next?" asked Dongfang Yuqin.

"In June, my baby is going to be born, and I'm going to buy Disney before then. Li Zetian thought of the child he was going to be born soon, and his face was happy.

"Mr. Li, you are so kind to your wife and children!" Dongfang Yuqin said enviously, with an imperceptible trace of resentment in her voice.

Li Zetian was stunned, thinking that Dongfang Yuqin was a woman who didn't eat fireworks in the world, and she didn't look for men, and she said this, which undoubtedly made her feel sad. So Li Zetian couldn't help but smile and didn't continue to answer.

Dongfang Yuqin said: "Mr. Li, then I will help you investigate the details of Disney as soon as possible." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you. ”
