Compared with the unprecedented grandeur of the exhibition area where manufacturers such as Mi Guo Riben are located, the European exhibition area is much more deserted.

Although there are many manufacturers, there are not many names that Wan Feng can name, and he has never even heard of many manufacturers.

Then he has no purpose.

Wan Feng wandered aimlessly, judging from the information he gave back from his eyesight, he would not spend more than two hours in this exhibition area.

Maybe I'll be out in an hour.

Most of the manufacturers' booths here are relatively ordinary, with few bells and whistles, no glamorous models, and no eye-catching places.

Since entering this exhibition area, he has never stopped, and has been walking.

In the other exhibition areas, he almost stopped and looked, and here he just walked around and took a look, and he never stopped at all.

So it was not long before we reached the last corner.

The vendors here are not so much here as they are here to make up the numbers.

Wan Feng thinks that the products on display are handmade by the family workshop.

Probably, they can't afford to rent a good booth, so they have to deal with it in such a place.

It may be that signing a business is a waste of money, and if you don't sign it, you won't lose much.

After all, the price of the booth in this place is estimated to be free of charge, and it doesn't make much difference.

At this time, a manufacturer's booth attracted Wan Feng's attention.

The manufacturer's booth was empty, as if it had a computer and a box.

There were also two middle-aged men who looked a little haggard and sat listlessly, and did not speak to each other.

The computer is obviously not new, so it can be determined that the other party is not selling computers.

It's just that the computer is sold in such a corner, who will buy it?

So what the hell is this manufacturer doing here?

Other manufacturers have at least a few products even if their booths are shabby, what are they doing here?

Selling people?

If these are two beautiful girls, it is still possible, but who will buy these two bald men?

Wan Feng subconsciously looked up at the name of the manufacturer: ASMI.

The name of this manufacturer, Wan Feng, felt quite familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember who it was.

If you can't think of it, you don't want to.

This is almost the end of the exhibition area, and there seems to be a manufacturer's booth in front of it.

Wan Feng turned his head and prepared to lead Han Guang's family out and find a Chinese restaurant to eat.

The food of the Europeans is so unpalatable.

Wan Feng suspected that the foreigner's digestive system was still in a primitive state, how did they eat and digest the things that only animals could eat?

The people from the embassy told them that there were a few Chinese restaurants opened by overseas Chinese on what street.

"Let's go, go out, go to a restaurant opened by overseas Chinese, go and have a good meal, I feel like my intestines are about to tie up for the past two days. ”

"Don't look at it?"

"It's boring, if you don't understand it, it's useless to read it. ”

The two of them began to walk out, and when they were about to walk out of the west exhibition area, they saw Mi Guangnan and his party in front of them.

"Xiao Wan, have you finished reading this district?" Mi Guangnan asked in surprise.

"I looked at it twice, it didn't mean anything, you want to go in and have a look?"

"We're going to spend half a day looking here, and tomorrow we're going to see the East Pavilion. ”

When they dared to love for more than a day and a half, they stayed in the middle exhibition area.

"Then you go in, let's go out and find two restaurants owned by people from our country, and when we find it, I will take you to have a good meal." ”

"Okay! That's a good idea, we can't eat the foreigner's food, and finally we can find a good meal at night." ”

Wan Feng waved goodbye to them, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and called out to Mi Guangnan: "Mr. Mi, what does ASMI mean?"

"Asme, or Asmy. ”

Wan Feng nodded to indicate that he remembered, and turned back to walk outside again, reminiscing about Asmi as he went.

Asmi Asmai?

When he was about to walk out of the hall, Wan Feng suddenly remembered what this Asmi was for.

Isn't this the famous factory of He Lan in later generations to make lithography machines?

It is the most critical lithography equipment for chips.

A machine sells for 1200 million yuan, which makes them make a lot of money.

Wan Feng stopped, and his head began to spin rapidly.

He was recalling an article he had read.

Before his rebirth, ZTE had just been choked by the United States, and at that time he became interested in chips, and read countless articles on chips, including one article that mentioned the development of lithography machines.

The second most important process of chip fabrication is development, which is to depict the geometric structure on the photoresist layer.

In the 70s, the technology used in this process was a lens-based development device.

In the early 70s, Feigtu began to develop lens-based non-contact lithography equipment, and launched a new type of lithography equipment around 73 years.

Although it was successful in terms of overall performance, it was expensive and had a series of technical problems that made it difficult to commercialize.

At the same time, some manufacturers of the United States and Riben solved a series of problems on the contact lithography machine.

Fei Lipu decided that there was no future for this lithography machine, so he shut down the group.

That's when Asmi appeared.

At that time, Asmi was only a semiconductor equipment agent in the early days, and later entered the field of chip packaging, and now it has expanded to front-end equipment.

When they learned about the plan, they thought that the research of the Flygt was very valuable, so they rushed to it.

Feili was determined to close the project, but it couldn't stand Asme's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and transferred the project to Asmi at a very low price in about 84 years.

Asmi felt that he could succeed in research and development, so he spent money on research.

But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

Asmi faced several problems as soon as he took over, the first is the backward technology, after all, Feilipu developed this technology more than ten years ago, and it has become outdated in the long wait, and it can no longer meet the needs of the market.

The second is market saturation, when there were several lithography machines competing in the market, Nikon, Canon, GCA, ASET, Eaton, Ultratch, and a democratic company.

They sell all contact lithography machines, and they have carved up almost all the market share.

The last problem, of course, is that there is no money.

ASML has been tossing and turning for a few years, and now it should be on the verge of bankruptcy.

After recalling, a question came to Wan Feng's mind: What are they doing here?

They certainly weren't here to sell a product, because they didn't have a product at all.

Since it's not here to sell products, do you think you're going to take out these technologies for two dollars?

Wan Feng's heart beat for no reason.

He took a deep breath to calm his mind.

"Go back!" Wan Feng said suddenly, then turned around and walked towards the West Exhibition Hall again.

Han Guangjia paused for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

What's going on in this's head?
