Chapter 214: In-depth Cooperation

Jiang Xinwei also smiled: "This is what you said, I didn't say it." Seeing Professor Jin Songyong smiling, Jiang Xinwei felt a little embarrassed in his heart, so he had to get serious and asked Jin Songyong seriously, "Professor Jin, have you tried to install a heat reflector in the single crystal furnace?"

Hearing Jiang Xinwei is technical question, Jin Songyong immediately became stern, and replied seriously: "I tried it! The effect is very good, both the crystallization time and the crystallization quality are much better than if we didn't install this device." …… However, in the past two days, we have looked at the equipment in Italy, and the effect of their heat reflectors is better than ours, and we are exploring the performance of their heat reflectors, and we want to master their technical parameters.

It's a pity that the production task is tight now, and these Italians don't like us to study their equipment very much, and the technicians they send are all operators, and they don't know much about the performance and parameters of the equipment, and they can't answer many questions we ask, so there is basically no progress in our research, and we still need to explore slowly. …… Of course, with this heat reflector, even if we haven't mastered the relevant technology, we have benefited a lot, and the situation is much better than in the past, thank you so much. ”

Jiang Xinwei can fully understand that the experts sent by Italy do not know much about the performance of the equipment, do not know some of their parameters, and cannot comprehensively answer some of Jin Songyong's questions: it would be strange if they could comprehensively answer the questions of high-level experts like Jin Songyong.

Because Frankl's family company is a specialist manufacturer of carriers, their technical focus is on carriers rather than on the production of monocrystalline silicon. The reason why they have a single crystal furnace is on the one hand to develop and solve some special performance chips of the carrier, and also to prevent their carrier technology from leaking secrets and developing a small number of special chips on their own. On the other hand, because the company began to fall from its peak, as the leader of the company, he was in a hurry. They want to save the fate of the company's bankruptcy, so they make this attempt to convert products, and want to try whether the production of monocrystalline silicon and silicon wafers alone can revitalize the enterprise and see if it can make the company go back to glory.

Naturally, they are only the purchasers and users of monocrystalline furnaces, not the real producers.

As a user, they only need to know how to use the furnace, as long as they can produce a good monocrystalline silicon rod. At most, there are experts who can understand some basic repairs after the single crystal furnace is broken, and there is no need to grasp how much performance the single crystal furnace has, let alone any parameters.

This principle is like buying a car privately, the person who buys the car only needs to know how to drive, at most understand some basic maintenance, it is better to charge the battery, such as replacing tires or something.

And because they needed to develop very few specialized chips, and their company was already short of funds at that time, and it was experimental in nature, it was impossible to purchase too many monocrystalline furnaces. Only eight units were purchased, and all of them were small 90 kg feeding. With only eight monocrystalline furnaces, it is not a large-scale enterprise at all. Because of the small size of the monocrystalline furnace, Etna Communications will not spend a lot of money on training highly skilled people in this field, and it will not take a long time to train developers.

It is important to know that generally, medium-sized monocrystalline silicon manufacturers install dozens or hundreds of monocrystalline furnaces. In the 21st century, China's general domestic monocrystalline silicon manufacturers are also hundreds of units, hundreds of installations. Manufacturers with only dozens of monocrystalline furnaces can't get on the table at all, and they are simply small workshops in the eyes of everyone.

As Etna Communications' economic performance outstripped and as the transition to several new products, including the production of monocrystalline silicon, failed, the eight monocrystalline furnaces became less and less appreciated. This was cheap, Jiang Xinwei bought them and shipped them over.

Monocrystalline furnaces, monocrystalline silicon, and silicon wafers do sound very high, but getting a small number of monocrystalline furnaces is not as difficult as some readers think. I thought that I had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, and I thought that the United States and other Western countries would definitely block it. The United States is not a god, and it can monitor the whereabouts of each single crystal furnace, as long as the buyer and seller are low-key, they can completely avoid some attention.

In fact, how to produce high-quality silicon wafers after having a monocrystalline furnace is the most difficult thing. It's not that with a single crystal furnace, there is a qiē.

Seeing the annoyance on Jin Songyong's face, Jiang Xinwei smiled and said, "Professor Jin, you are now helping our company expand its production capacity, it should be me who thank you, why do you thank me upside down?" Even if I didn't say it at the time, when these Italian monocrystalline furnaces arrived, you wouldn't be able to see them differently?...... Seriously, if it weren't for the embargo imposed on my country by Western countries now, if it weren't for the fear of being noticed by the United States, I would definitely purchase more and more advanced monocrystalline furnaces.

Professor Kim, I think these monocrystalline furnaces are just second-hand goods that Etna doesn't want, and they don't deserve to be studied with too much effort. If you must study, simply wait for me to produce for a period of time, and then you will study it after the workers in our company have mastered the production skills. When the time comes, you can study them however you want, you can just take them apart and transport them away. ”

Jin Songyong asked in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, does what you said mean that you still have bigger moves, and when the conditions are ripe, you will purchase a large number of more advanced and larger capacity single crystal furnaces." ”

Jiang Xinxu said: "Of course. In the future, our company will need large, high-quality monocrystalline silicon, and we will need to produce chips with high-purity, large-diameter silicon wafers. The monocrystalline furnaces here are only used by us to train and improve the technical level of the workers, and for military training, and I don't expect them to produce much useful monocrystalline silicon. ”

Jin Songyong hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two Italian experts who were instructing the workers in the distance to perform leak detection on another single crystal furnace, and said, "Mr. Jiang, can I propose a construction to you?"

Jiang Xinwei said: "Professor Jin is polite, what arrangements you have is directly said." ”

Jin Songyong said: "Our unit wants to cooperate with your company, how about it?"

Before Jiang Xinwei could speak, Su Dingyu asked puzzledly, "Professor Jin, aren't we cooperating now?"

Jiang Xinxu smiled and asked, "Professor Jin, do you mean that we cooperate in the production of single crystal furnaces?"

Jin Songyong nodded and said, "Since you have taken these eight single crystal furnaces from Italy for military training, just to improve the operation level of the workers, can you give us one now? When we have mastered its characteristics and performance, and then combined with our own previous research, we will definitely be able to produce a better single crystal furnace than these Italian single crystal furnaces. …… You can rest assured, when the time comes, we will sell the new monocrystalline furnace to you and only charge your cost price. ”

Jiang Xinwei joked: "If you apply for a patent in the future, can we also sign the name behind the patent owner? Let us also have some power, and maybe we can make a little money in the future." ”

Jin Songyong said embarrassedly: "This ...... Your company didn't participate in the research, so it's inconvenient to sign it, right? It's a fraud, I can't agree with it. …… , Mr. Jiang, we can be a little more favorable on the price. We can also pay for this single crystal furnace that has been shipped. ”

Jiang Xinwei shook his head and said: "How much money can this single crystal furnace have? If you don't look at it, we won't look at it." Suddenly, Jiang Xinwei's eyes lit up, and he immediately had a new idea in his mind, and hurriedly asked, "...... , Professor Jin, since we are cooperating, we will cooperate in depth, and we will also send technicians to participate in your single crystal furnace research, okay?"

"You also send technicians to participate in the research?" Jin Songyong glanced at Jiang Xinwei suspiciously, and then at Su Dingyu, I don't know if this young man was joking again, and his eyes finally fell on Shen Zhonghai's face.

Shen Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and said, "Professor Jin, I'm sorry, I just came, and I am not very familiar with the technical personnel of the original transistor factory, and I don't know if there are any professionals in monocrystalline silicon." ”

Transistors, monocrystalline silicon, and silicon wafers can all be said to be related to the semiconductor field, and it is not impossible for the Phoenix Transistor Factory to have experts in monocrystalline silicon.

But Su Dingyu knew that no matter whether there were experts in monocrystalline silicon in this factory, Jiang Xinwei did not mean to let them participate in the research, but to participate in himself. Even if there are such experts in the factory, they are not at the same level as Jin Songyong, and the most they send over is to help clean and carry equipment, and the big deal is to help the professors sort out the materials, and there is no talk of joint research at all.

But he doubted in his heart: "Does this guy have this ability?...... Although this guy keeps surprising us, the production of monocrystalline silicon is a very rare field, and I guess he didn't even read a book on this in college. The last time he brought up the heat reflector, it was purely by chance, he had a nimble brain, or he had heard it from Frankel. Now that he asks, does he really have the confidence to participate in the formal scientific research of the experts?

What made him speechless was that Jiang Xinwei really said so, only to hear him smile and say to Jin Songyong: "Professor Jin, don't look at Mr. Shen, he really doesn't know." And the person we sent to participate in your research on the single crystal furnace is myself, and no one else. ”

"You?" Jin Songyong blurted out and asked, and as an intellectual, he immediately said bluntly, "You? No! It's not that I look down on you, but your ability to come up with a heat reflector shows that you are very smart, and that you are good at finding problems and proposing good solutions." However, the production of monocrystalline silicon requires a very deep basic knowledge, and you must not participate in the research by being smart, you must accumulate a lot of knowledge about materials, and you must have a lot of experience.

…… , Mr. Jiang, if you really want to participate in the research in this field, I will first resign from the position of the company's CEO, first go to the university to study professional knowledge for a period of time, and when you graduate from the university, you come to our unit, and I will take you as a graduate student. ”
