Chapter 216: Bursting production capacity
In general, the downsizing of production line etching specifications is a well-known competition in wafer process technology.
Another process technology competition that is not known to the general public is the expansion of wafer size, which is the two cornerstones of the rapid development of the electronics industry, and the basic reason why Moore's Law takes effect.
Although the domestic line has conquered the localization technology of 3-inch wafers, the etching level is very intuitive from 5.0 to 1.0 behind the overseas four generations, and the situation in terms of wafer size is not optimistic, and the 3-inch wafer is the original wafer size when the electronics industry entered the era of integrated circuits, which was born in 1970.
At present, the top wafer size that will be put into production internationally is the 8-inch wafer line built by Intel in California.
The area of each 8-inch wafer is 7 times that of 3 inches, and in the case of a yield rate that cannot open the gap, this means that even if the process technology is the same, Intel's one line can top seven domestic lines, and it is even more desperate if you count the backwardness of etching technology.
This huge technological gap makes the situation faced by the new domestic line a desperate situation.
"I want to discuss a decision with you, I don't plan to wait for 3.0 micron domestic equipment, spend 6 billion, and purchase at least 30 5.0 micron domestic lines, what do you think?"
Liang Yuan said more formally a decision that he had just been born.
Si~~~, although the members of the conference guessed that Liang Yuan would definitely buy some domestic lines, no one expected that the purchase would be on such a large scale.
"Thirty lines, counting the current three lines of Gangji Collector, if the demand for devices is removed, there will be at least twenty-seven or eight 5.0 wafer production lines running in the future, which is a bit much, is the production capacity of this production line a bit much?"
Qi Lianshan asked.
After high-intensity study and indoctrination, although Qi Lianshan and others cannot technically help Hong Kong-based power collectors, they still know the general technical data of the frontier of the international electronics industry.
Although the members of the conference unanimously decided to invest in R&D, the mentality is completely different, and many Yuanjia executives regard the R&D of new domestic lines as a means to exert procurement pressure overseas, rather than thinking that they can catch up.
It is no wonder that Yuanjia executives take advantage of the situation to exert pressure This kind of thinking is common, if the disadvantages of process technology are counted, the efficiency of producing the same chip at the international top level is ten times that of the domestic top level.
Of course, due to the physical limitations of packaging technology, the chip cannot be made too small, and the road of homogeneous competition with new lines is blocked, otherwise the ten-fold difference in production efficiency will not be able to catch up with low-cost engineers who are tired and vomit blood.
Therefore, the way that the top international manufacturers can take is to rely on performance to beat the domestic manufacturers.
Of course, the new domestic line is similar to TSMC's way of relying on others to survive, and it can only survive by vertical procurement of the industrial chain, squeeze every bit of potential, and use backward technical products to make things that meet the aesthetics of a certain type of mainstream rich consumers as much as possible, which is the only weak vitality of the new domestic line.
Speaking of which, this way of survival is quite similar to the survival mode of the mobile phone blue-green manufacturers after the new century, catching a subdivided group and vigorously collecting IQ taxes.
Of course, Liang Yuan, who is also a capitalist, still has a bit of feelings for revitalizing the national industry, which is still so much better than the capitalists who have emigrated and run away.
Liang Tuhao, who was destined to marry Ning Wanjia, knew that he had little chance of taking his sister to go overseas, and complained in his heart that one day he would have to turn the preferential treatment for overseas capitalists into preferential treatment for domestic capitalists.
However, when Liang Tuhao secretly rubbed and complained, he didn't expect that to a certain extent, Yuanjia's super-large-scale asset allocation overseas made him also a member of the immigrant dogs.
After three years of tempering, the yield rate of Gangbase Collector has been stable at more than 90%, a 5.0 micron wafer production line can produce 10,000 wafers per month at full load, and the current yield rate of Gangbase Collector can cut out C2 processors roughly around 36-380,000 pieces.
Once the production line is expanded to 278, it means that the monthly chip output will be directly exploded into tens of millions, which can assemble 2 million Chinese character pagers, 2 million digital pagers, plus 2 million pet eggs, if you count the expansion of the production line and the expansion investment of the subsidiary assembly plant, the actual comprehensive expenditure of this order will not be less than 10 billion yuan.
"Time is running out~" Liang Yuan said with deep feelings.
Although Liang Yuan is open, but Yuanjia has developed to such a scale, the general hanging has long been invalid, and in the entire nineties, there are only a few opportunities to support Yuanjia's huge R&D system, and one hand is enough.
Even in the aviation field, there is only a single choice of regional airliners, and once Yuanjia misses the opportunity of the 90s, the price of catching up in the new century will be thousands of times that of the present.
"Da Shao, about the main business of Hong Kong-based power collector paging, we have done a market survey, Chinese characters show that it is not a problem for Motorola, with the United States semiconductor technology, Motorola can even reduce the volume of our mainstream models by half, this is the hard power of American science and technology, once the model is subverted in a short period of time, the probability of us catching up is not high, and I am afraid that there will be overcapacity at that time~"
In the field of paging, under the guidance of Liang Yuan, the development expectation of the model of the paging industry in the next ten years has been evolved by the design department of Yuanjia.
From the palm-sized double-row display to the elite and enterprising model before Motorola was delisted in the future, dozens of models have made physical models with reference to the technical foundation of Hong Kong-based power collector and Motorola in a simple design mode.
At a glance, although Gangji Jidian is more aware of the gap between itself and the top overseas electronics groups, the blow to the morale of the team is also very strong, if it is not for Liang Yuan's current invincible halo, the development momentum of Gangji Jidian is still discounted.
However, there are few things in the world that are simply good or simple are bad, since the heart has not been discounted, under the weight of Motorola technology, there is an interesting thing that Liang Yuan has never seen.
A pager dual-screen pager that can send short messages, this thing involves a communication baseband, and it already has half a mobile phone function, even if Motorola goes all out, it is not a year and a half to get it, it is very suitable for use as a hidden move, and it can also do technical accumulation for the era of mobile phone feature phones.
"Perhaps, Dashao's pet eggs can really eat this expanded production capacity?"
Gong Yun did her duty as a big housekeeper and reminded Liang Yuan's team of the risks that had been considered, of course, Gong Yun finally saved face for the big boss.
After all, the pet egg thing is all supported by Liang Yuan's aura, and no objection or limited support is already the limit of Yuanjia's executives, and it must be nonsense to say how much you agree.
"Look, you will know that it will be listed in September, and under the concentration of good adjustment, there is still hope for the half-load production of the new domestic line, even if the yield rate of 50 percent, whether it is put to the paging or pet eggs, it is close to 100,000 monthly output. ”
Liang Yuan didn't answer Gong Yun's question, but the strong confidence in his words was self-evident.
I have to say that there is money really capricious qualifications, due to the delay in the introduction of overseas lines, the wafer production line supporting the high-clean workshop Hong Kong-based power collection built six in one go, enough to put in 20 lines, the test base of the Torch Plan trial products accounted for one of them, as long as some scientific research equipment was removed, from laboratory products to batch products can just be seamlessly connected.
Otherwise, it involves the relocation of the production line, and it is less than half a year.
Of course, the production line can quickly respond to adjustments, this is the benefit of localization, as long as the human resources of their own family are in place, they can be piled up in shifts, otherwise they will wait for the leisurely Europeans to provide technical support, and the domestic work of a week is done for a month.
This good news was skipped, and the people in the room began to study how to bleed the Toyo Foundation, and the door of the conference room was gently knocked several times, Gong Yun got up and opened the door, and found the twins standing outside.
"Jiajia, Feifei, have all the media data been counted?"
Gong Yun asked while pulling chairs for the two girls.
The twins know Liang Yuan very well, and these days they have chatted with Liang Yuan intermittently, and they know a lot of Liang Yuan's attitude towards the East, and in Liang Yuan's mind, the meaning of the visit of the Oriental Foundation is just to show the "I! rich!!" posted on the door of his head.
In line with the attitude that no matter how rich you are now, you will definitely not have as much money as I am in the future, the twins did not participate in the discussion on the Toyo Foundation, but focused on public opinion on Hong Kong Island.
Trying to analyze the characteristics from it, it is used to attack Hong Kong Island movies, the essence of movies is a kind of eyeball economy, Liang Tuhao said blindly, the real twins take this sentence seriously.
"After the statistics, there are a few with rhythm, such as "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily" and "Hong Kong Island Daily", most of them are not afraid of big things, I and Fei Fei's character set up a playboy character like Wei Zhen, and the direction of public opinion will definitely not turn the sky, but my sister and I didn't come to say this, turn on the TV, CCTV evening news~~. ”
"The Torch Program is an important part of the national basic scientific research plan, shouldering the important task of tracking the world's advanced scientific research level in China, and the successful development of the domestic 5.0 micron wafer production line has made China the fourth country in the world to master a full set of core technologies in the electronics industry in addition to the Soviet Union, the United States and Japan~~Balabala~~"
Yuanjia can give money but Yuanjia can't give honor, the torch plan itself has a strong official color, although the wafer results are a bit outdated, but it is always a rare world-class achievement, and the part of the national attribute of the torch plan naturally began to blow up.
"It's good for the short term, but it's bad for the long term. ”
Listening to the high-spirited tone on the TV, Ning Wanfei defined the news with great momentum.
The success of the domestic 5.0 micron production line will definitely help the introduction of the 2.0 micron production line, but in the long run, the strong R&D capabilities of Hong Kong-based power collection are easy to arouse overseas vigilance.
"You have to face it sooner or later, whether you are in advance or behind, it will not affect the overall situation~"
Since Liang Yuan did not emphasize the secrecy of the project, he had already expected this situation.
"We are now bursting the 5.0 micron production line, overseas will definitely laugh jaws, there will be no vigilance for the time being, and when we debug the line, we are using Niu B's things to make overseas surrender, if the huge production capacity is used well, it is a market weapon in itself. ”
Listening to Liang Yuan's tone, everyone present felt that Liang Yuan seemed to have a big killing weapon in his hand, but he didn't take it out for the time being.
"Xiaoyuan, what other good things have you not taken out?"
was said by Ning Wanjia, and everyone knew that she was not delusional.
"If it weren't for the technological breakthrough of the domestic 5.0 micron wafer production line, I wouldn't have thought of this. ”
"Since you two are here, let's listen for a while, Gong Yun continued to talk about the financing of the 5.0 micron production line. ”
"Okay, big and small. ”
"Although the group has the ability to mobilize tens of billions of yuan, but considering that it does not affect the follow-up development of other businesses, we can dismantle the entire project, the scale of the Shencheng production line must be expanded, this year Shencheng collected nearly 10 billion taxes from the group, and must be willing to organize the bank to lend to us, measured by the current statements of the Hong Kong-based power collector, the group is definitely the best quality asset in the eyes of the bank, and it is not a big problem to lend three or four billion. ”
"Copying this routine to the top five cities of the Republic's economy, we only need to build two new factories and expand an old factory to complete the task of financing 10 billion. ”
"However, the premise of the project can be implemented is that the group has the ability to feed the huge production capacity of 30 production lines, otherwise we will become the biggest joke in the history of the human electronics industry, and will be written overseas as a typical negative business case forever. ”
"If Xiaoyuan's project is successful, it will be written overseas as a typical legendary business case that will be passed on forever. ”
Although Ning Wanjia knew that Gong Yun was doing her secretarial duties, she still couldn't help but tell the other side of the matter in person.
Seeing the girl's puffed cheeks and a little stingy, Gong Yun smiled, nodded and said: "Yuanjia has been invincible all the way, although I can't understand the number of Dashao, I personally believe that Dashao has the ability to solve the huge production capacity added." ”
Ning Wanjia nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes bent brightly into a good-looking arc.
Liang Yuan watched the girl desperately sprinkle dog food, laughed and pulled up Ning Wanjia's long black hair with his palm, stroked it gently, and continued: "After Jiangwan's speech, the country will usher in a peak of investment, and the work of attracting investment will definitely be put into the first sequence by the local government, and it is not a new project of the loan dollar group that must be the emperor's daughter who is not worried about marrying." ”
"My personal opinion, the production line in Shencheng radiates to the north of the Republic, the new factory in the Special Economic Zone radiates to Lingnan, and the rest is placed in Shanghai or Hangzhou, you decide, I don't express my opinion. ”
After Liang Yuan developed, Li Yuanling's homesickness gradually rose, although he didn't have time to go back to his hometown to see, but he always wanted to pull a hand on his hometown, and the construction of a new wafer factory in Shanghai or Hangzhou had its own benefits, considering his mother's mood, Liang Yuan couldn't wait to throw the pot out.
