After the new century, the application of electron beam direct writing technology in the field of chips is mostly limited to scientific research and masking.

In the future of increasingly complex electronic chips, the average processing time of a chip has increased to seven hours, and if the chip structure is particularly complex, the processing time of a chip can even be as high as 60 or 70 hours.

However, in the 90s, there were still enterprises or R&D institutions trying to break through the shackles of low electron beam production efficiency with multi-speed simultaneous processing.

For example, by using multiple light sources and multiple lenses, thousands of electron beams can be operated at the same time.

Even if thousands of electron beams work at the same time, in the era of relatively simple chip structures in the 90s, it can only catch up with the production efficiency of exposure lithography machines, but the expensive cost of multi-beam electron beam lithography machines is three times that of exposure lithography machines, and it still cannot open the mainstream market of lithography machines.

Of course, since wafers can be processed directly, electron beam writing is the best technology for processing mask templates for exposure lithography machines.

Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian introduced the technical prospects and general camps of the lithography machine market to Liang Yuan one by one.

Finally, Wang Xin summed up and said: "Da Shao also knows, really talking about the R & D strength, we and the mainstream manufacturers must not be comparable, Hong Kong base power collector has developed smoothly to the present, most of the development opportunities are Da Shao to seize the special domestic national conditions, the use of time difference and the strategy of poor finished products in support, lithography machine is the core equipment of the production line, multi-channel research and development even if we have money, people are not enough." ”

Wang Xin paused and continued: "We are about to reach a consensus internally, and most people agree to take the technical route of 193nm light source. Science and education and other fields have a wide range of applications, can greatly reduce the cost of research and development, but also a reason is from the forefront of the industry from the news, 193nm after the light source research and development is not smooth, there is a high probability of stuck for a few years, for us such a backward party, this opportunity is very rare, there is the possibility of catching up with the international level. ”

"Da Shao, electron beam direct writing technology due to the huge advantage of line width, almost four to five generations more advanced than the mainstream exposure technology, which directly leads to the production of mask templates, the largest application field of electron beam direct writing technology, it is completely unnecessary to use the most advanced technology, line width not to mention five generations behind, even if it is four generations in the world, it is a rotten street thing, as long as you have money to buy it~~"

Liu Feiyang understood Liang Yuan's mind very well, and directly explained that no one was stuck in this thing at all.

"The battle line pulled out by Dashao is too long, and we don't have the talent to do our best, so we can only try our best to restrain our strength and concentrate our R&D strength in one field~. ”

Nie Xiaotian and Liang Yuan have been together for the longest time, and they have no worries when they speak under Liang Yuan's influence, and they explain the reasons very bluntly.

In the electronics industry, if Liang Yuan can talk about terminal consumer goods with confidence, if he talks about industrial production, except for some terms that will be widely circulated in the future, Liang Yuan is ignorant.

The lithography machine belongs to the kind that Liang Yuan doesn't know anything about.

The group of netizens who have been baptized by the Internet era is very polarized, some people think that they are the best in heaven and earth after their knowledge, and dare to pretend to be experts no matter what topic, and some are conquered by the depth of knowledge, and clearly realize that the more they know, the more ignorant they become.

Liang Yuan belongs to the latter, so in addition to the grand strategy of determining the direction, Liang Yuan has already completely let go of the daily management of the Gangji Collector, and naturally does not understand the internal problems of the Gangji Collector on the technical direction.

After listening to the three technical bosses, Liang Yuan had a more detailed understanding of the field of lithography machines.

"So, what should the one outside do?" Liang Yuan asked.

Liang Yuan felt that all the people who could engage in the electronics industry in China in these years were talents, and it was always a little uncomfortable to give up like this.

"Change your career~"

"We exchanged electron beam physical vapor deposition technology with GE, and many people, including me, were in line with the electron beam direct writing technology, and then not all of them changed careers. ”

Wang Xin said with a smile.

It is called the will of the leader or the chief in China, and the will of authority or capital overseas, and scientific research may not be affected by the outside world at all.

Influenced by Liang Yuan's thinking, the electron beam direct writing technology before and after exchanging technology with GE once became a popular technology for the development of lithography machines within Gangbase Power Collector.

However, Liang Yuan knows that he has the right to restrain himself, and he does not express his opinions if he does not understand, although he has the intention of patting on the back, but after all, it has not evolved to the level of academic standing.

"Da Shao, I have also stood in line with the electron beam direct writing, and now it has not changed, so that a small team can be left outside to study slowly, and there is no funding to merge it into Mr. Jian's side, although the domestic electron beam direct writing technology is backward, but it just coincides with our equally backward production line process, and the mask manufacturing business is outsourced, which is enough for the outside team to survive, and Mr. Jian can also transfer people out in a more important direction. ”

Liu Feiyang also smiled and revealed his shortcomings.

"Nie Xiaotian, did you stand in line and write straight with the electron beam?"

Liang Yuan turned his head and asked Nie Xiaotian curiously.

Nie Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I've been standing in line with the 193nm light source, and I think with a lot of luck, when will we catch up and when will 193nm break through." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, it is also evil, since Liang Yuan decided to enter the lithography machine industry, the technical barriers of the 193nm light source have become clearer, and other people in the Hong Kong-based power collector do not know that this matter has nothing to do with Liang Yuan's decision-making, whether Liang Yuan enters the lithography machine industry or not, the 193nm light source will be stuck for 20 years.

Liang Yuan didn't know that his mascot attributes had been hammered by the executives of Yuanjia, and he heard the three of them mention that there were many technical barriers to the 193nm light source, and he always felt that this number was a little familiar in his mind, and he seemed to have heard something related in some paragraph.

"The three of you, choose someone to go out and talk to that Director Fang, I don't seem to be able to remember something. ”

The more Liang Yuan recalled, the more he felt that the paragraph he had vaguely heard was important, and the professional judgment given by Wang Xin and the three Liang Yuan still believed it, and Liang Yuan seemed to have a little impression of the 193nm light source barrier, the problem was that Liang Yuan knew that when he passed through, the process line width was going to advance below 10 nanometers, and after the new century, he didn't seem to have heard of where the process line width was stuck and stagnant.

If the process line width is really stuck, and the virtue of the network media has long been hyped up and the technology has stagnated, Liang Yuan can definitely be sure that the reduction of the process line width in his memory will hardly be delayed after the new century.

Wang Xin volunteered to go out to get Fang Weilin, and Liang Yuan gently tapped the table with his fingers, looking like he was out of the world.

There's no Duan You here, otherwise the almighty Duan You can really save the world, and Liang Tuhao, who thinks a little brainache, is starting to lose his mind.

The paragraph that he desperately wanted to recall seemed to be seen in Duan Youbar, Liang Yuan frowned and his eyes wandered in the conference room.

The two girls understood Liang Yuan, and guessed what problem Liang Yuan should have encountered by looking at their looks, seeing that Liang Yuan's brows were getting tighter and tighter, it didn't look like they would be able to solve the problem for a while, and the twins decided to let Liang Yuan think about it in the long run.

"Xiaoyuan~"

Ning Wanjia on Liang Yuan's left screamed softly, and Ning Wanjia on the right shook Liang Yuan's arm.

Liu Feiyang and Nie Xiaotian rarely saw two boss ladies who were difficult to distinguish between true and false appearing together, and they both slipped around on the three of them with extremely curious eyes.

"Ah~!"

Liang Yuan, who was shaking his arm, came back to his senses violently.

"Pig's head, it's time to eat~"

Liang Yuan looked left and right, two cute purple bows dangled in front of his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Liang Yuan left everything Duan You behind.

"I'll go to dinner first, do you want to go over together?"

Liang Yuan asked casually.

Liu Feiyang and Nie Xiaotian wanted to go over to eat with the boss, but looking at the two proprietresses with purple bows who were already exactly the same, they couldn't guess that there seemed to be some small problems between the three of them, and such an eye-catching light bulb fool would be, and both of them shook their heads sharply and frequently, for fear that the two proprietresses would not see it.
