Chapter 377: Target 32nm chips

An Zhengguo swallowed his saliva and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Su, where is the limit of this lithography machine?"

Su Yang said: "The limit is 5nm, but if you want to mass produce chips, 7nm is almost the limit." ”

“7nm!”

"Oh my God, unbelievable. ”

"Does this mean that we can crush Western countries in semiconductor technology?"

"It seems like yes. ”

A group of senior executives of Yuanyang Semiconductor, as well as some employees who participated in the experiment, were so excited that they almost danced.

For them, semiconductor manufacturing is their job and their belief.

One day, we will have the opportunity to stand on top of the world and defy Europe and the United States, which once blocked technology.

Probably, there's nothing more enjoyable in the world, right?

While they were excited, Su Yang said solemnly: "Everyone, be quiet. ”

"I know you are in a very mixed mood at this time, but here I hope you don't forget the words on the confidentiality agreement, if anyone dares to violate it, someone dares to leak what happened here today. ”

"I promise that there is no place for him in this world, and I hope you will take what I say seriously, so you must completely forget what you said to the person who made the announcement of what happened here. ”

"Mr. An, these are your subordinates, I hope you can restrain them well. ”

Catching up with Su Yang's warm gaze, An Zhengguo's heart was tight, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Su, don't worry, I will definitely restrain them." ”

Su Yang said: "In addition, the number of caretakers here should be increased, and no unrelated people should be allowed to enter the visit. ”

"Understood. ”

"Alright, let's all go to the conference room, I have something to say. ”

……

The office building of Yuanyang Semiconductor Company is a building covering an area of 500 square meters and 18 floors.

In the surrounding generation, it is considered a relatively high-profile building.

In a brightly lit conference room.

Su Yang sat at the top, listening to An Zhengguo talk about various matters and arrangements of the semiconductor company, and if there was something inappropriate, he brought it up in person.

Half an hour after the meeting.

Liu Yuanlong raised his hand.

Su Yang looked at him: "Director Liu, you say." ”

Liu Yuanlong said: "Mr. Su, now we have the EUV lithography machine, the accuracy of the etching machine is also very high, and other equipment, as long as you spend a little energy and money, you can buy it from the outside world, and the same is true for specific semiconductor materials." ”

"That is to say, in terms of IC manufacturing, we Yuanyang Semiconductor lacks nothing, but in IC design, we are still lagging behind the major semiconductor giants in the West. ”

"At present, the best IC design in China, the circuit diagram can only be used for 60nm manufacturing, if you want to go further, it is difficult!"

Su Yang said: "Director Liu's words are very reasonable, we have no shortage of hardware facilities, but software technology is still lagging behind those semiconductor giants......"

For semiconductors, it is not enough to have equipment, but to have supporting technology.

After all, without the corresponding IC design knowledge, the equipment is just a decoration, no matter how advanced it is, it is a waste product.

Of course, it may be too much to say that the waste product is a bit excessive, but if there is no circuit diagram of the more refined nano process, the word "advanced" of advanced equipment will be greatly discounted.

Therefore, in semiconductor manufacturing, technologies such as IC design are often the most critical technologies.

If it is placed in an ordinary semiconductor company in China, this matter will be difficult for a group of people, and even if people are immediately summoned to start derivation and design, it will take a certain amount of time.

It can be as long as a year and a half, and as short as three or five months, which is a seemingly easy, but very laborious job.

However, Yuanyang Semiconductor is not an ordinary enterprise, and Su Yang has long been prepared in terms of circuit diagram design.

After a pause, Su Yang continued: "IC design has always been in a weak position in China, but since we have chickens, are we afraid that we won't be able to lay eggs?"

"60nm chip, say nothing can no longer be touched, drop points are secondary, the key is not cost-effective, 45nm is now Samsung and inter are engaged in it, we plug in one hand is equivalent to following others behind the ass to catch up with them, forever one step behind. ”

"So...... If we want to do it, we will make chips with higher technology. ”

At this point, there was silence in the conference room.

An Zhengguo coughed: "Mr. Su, we don't even have a grasp of 45nm chip technology now, more advanced ...... I can't do it. ”

Su Yang smiled: "Mr. An, this topic has been discussed just now, since I skipped it, it means that this matter is not something you should worry about." ”

"Oh?" Ahn Jeong-kook and the others were all in front of him****** oss said this, it was something to say.

Su Yang: "Don't forget that in addition to semiconductor companies, Yuanyang has many other companies, and the design of chip circuit diagrams is a matter for technology development companies. ”

"In the past half a month, Chen Feng has sent someone to contact you, and the 32nm chip technology will also be sent out. ”

"So, what you should do now is to gather employees, reorganize the internal regulations of the factory, and arrange people to purchase corresponding materials and equipment......

When An Zhengguo and the others heard this, their eyes widened one by one, and their breathing became short.

"Mr. Su, what do you mean...... The technology development company has already studied the 32nm circuit diagram?"

"Since Mr. Su said so, it must be right!"

"Yes, yes, we are really concerned about it, even the 7nm lithography machine and etching machine are available, and the 32nm chip process, Mr. Su must have been prepared. ”

"In this way, we will soon be able to build a 32nm chip?!!"

"Inter and Samsung, the international semiconductor giants, are still working on 45nm chips, and we ......"

"No, no, my heart can't stand it, let me calm down!"

“……”

As soon as Su Yang showed that there was no problem with the IC design, then the next meeting became very simple.

After arranging and discussing the relevant work, Su Yang emphasized the issue of confidentiality again.

The senior executives of the company present, although they were a little ready to move, wanted to announce the breakthrough of Yuanyang Semiconductor, and show off and slap other companies in the face.

However, in the face of the boss's serious warning, they had to suppress this excitement in their hearts.

After the meeting ended, Su Yang was approached by Liu Yuanlong.

"Director Liu, do you have any questions?" asked Su Yang.

Liu Yuanlong hurriedly said: "Mr. Su, it's not a matter of production and manufacturing, strictly speaking, it's some private matter, I ...... I don't know if I should talk about it or not. ”

Su Yang smiled: "Since you have found me, then you must have planned and prepared for it, so if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Okay!" Liu Yuanlong nodded, did not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, before the company was acquired by Yuanyang, there was one thing......
