Chapter 255: Huajing Factory has taken off
Taking off from Los Angeles at 10 o'clock, Air China's Boeing 747 was like a flying giant whale, and finally arrived in Beidu after 12 hours.
According to the prior agreement, Hu Yiting called Minister Hu of the Ministry of Electronics Industry early the next morning, and Minister Hu asked him to immediately go to the Ministry of Electronics Industry to meet with him.
After buying two baked cakes and a cup of soy milk for breakfast on the street, Hu Yiting rushed to the office of Minister Hu of the Ministry of Electronics Industry.
Minister Hu greeted Hu Yiting warmly.
"Xiaohu, I invited you here this time to exchange views with you on the 909 Project. Come on, come on, sit casually. Xiao Ding, make tea for Boss Hu. β
Hu Yiting smiled and chose a single sofa next to him to sit down: "It's just right, Minister Hu, I also have something to report to you." β
Minister Hu sat down on another single sofa next to Hu Yiting: "Then you speak first." β
"Let's start with it, the affairs of the country are more important. β
"Hehe, it's quite a big picture, okay, then I'll talk about it first. β
Minister Hu thought about it first, organized the language, picked up his thermos teacup, unscrewed the lid and blew it and put it back on the coffee table: "Hu Yiting, you Chongguang has made great contributions to the national integrated circuit industry, and now even the leading comrades of the Central Committee have praised you by name at the meeting." β
Hu Yiting couldn't figure out what Minister Hu meant, so he said directly: "Could it be that the prime minister praised us? But it's been a few months, why are you still mentioning this now?"
Minister Hu looked indifferent, as if he had never mentioned this matter, and sighed: "Alas, from the start of the "908 Project" in 1990 to the initial completion of Huajing's production line, it took 6 years, and these six years are also the six years that I was transferred to the Ministry of Electronics Industry as a minister.
But who knows, the chip industry has developed so fast? In less than two years, a generation of products has been replaced, and the market is simply the same every day! Alas! I didn't expect it.
So when this line was built, all the contract products that were originally conceived to be produced were outdated, and I mean memory, and now memory is the era of 0.5 microns and 0.35 microns. In addition to contract products, Huajing has no independent development capabilities at all, and there is no IC design unit in China that can do supporting him, with the current level of China, it is difficult to design some products that have independent intellectual property rights and can make money.
Xiaohu, you are an expert, you should know that for the 908 project, the state has invested 2.5 billion yuan, but now if you start construction rashly, it will not be able to meet a quarter of the design capacity, that is to say, even the basic operation and maintenance costs cannot be recovered, which will be a big loss! Therefore, the ministry originally planned to spend a year to carry out some technical transformation of the Huajing plant, and strive to produce a process of 0.5 to 0.6 microns, but this is too difficult, and it is no longer necessary. β
Speaking of this, Minister Hu was overjoyed: "Because now this problem has finally been solved! After our last conversation, Huajing Factory has THT1062 successfully taped out the digital telephone master control chip! And immediately put it into trial production! Just before you go to the United States, the production line has been gradually adjusted to 80% of the production state, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach full production by the end of the year!" All the technical problems and technological processes in the production of this product have been satisfactorily solved, and the current qualified rate of wafer casting is even better than 78% of Wuxi Electronics 58 Institute, and has reached 86% of the yield rate! And the chip spacing under the six-inch process is much smaller than that of the 4-inch line of the 58 Institute! The production of a THT1062 only uses 20 square millimeters of chip area, that is to say, on a six-inch 150MM silicon wafer, more than 700 qualified products can be produced, which is really gratifying!
According to statistics, this year's domestic phone market sales of about 6 million units, next year is expected to exceed 10 million units, more gratifying is that at present, Hua Chuang Group and TCL Group have used THT1062 chip production of phones to win more than one million export orders, which has increased the confidence of the ministry, so the reason why the ministry is currently required to adjust the production line to full capacity, on the one hand, is to test whether the level of the production line meets the original design requirements, on the other hand, it is also to strive for profit as soon as possible, at least the original investment of 2.5 billion yuan to be recoveredγ
According to Huajing's designed monthly production capacity of 12,000 pieces, it can manufacture and package more than 8.4 million pieces of THT1062 per month! The ministry has asked them to go all out to do a good job in the maintenance of every line shutdown, and they must strive for the annual operating rate to reach more than 10 months!
Hu Yiting listened to Minister Hu said very cheerful and festive, knowing that the history of Huajing factory dragged to 02 years, the debt alone was as high as more than one billion yuan, on the verge of bankruptcy, not only the national investment was all lost, after the completion of the loss after the accumulation of a butt owed by the loss of the operation has also become a big problem.
So at this moment, hearing such good news for the benefit of the country and the people, Hu Yiting was also very happy in his heart, and asked: "In that case, the annual production capacity can reach 80 million pieces, which can greatly exceed the demand, even if it only starts work for three months to produce 25 million pieces, it also means that all domestic sales of phones in 96 next year must use domestic chips, and exports must reach 10 million pieces as much as possible, such a high index, can it be done?"
Minister Hu said with a smile: "Not long ago, the ministry and the National Telephone Quality Supervision and Inspection Center announced a new standard for digital telephone master control chips, which stipulates the technical parameters and functions of digital master control chips used in domestic telephones, and only THT1062 have reached the national standards.
Do you know that the AS2531 function of the Australian AMS company is too poor compared to the THT1062, its minimum working voltage of 4.8V standard, not only compared with the THT1062 minimum of 1.6V performance is much inferior, but also can not meet the requirements of the new national standard below 2.0V, does not support LCD display and caller ID, can not achieve noise input, let alone through external resistors to achieve the amplifier gain of sending and receiving, in addition to their number storage capacity is not up to standard. And these are the hard indicators of the new national standard!
Therefore, now the ministry has issued a notice, requiring all domestic phone manufacturers to immediately rectify and completely stop using AS2531 new phones for domestic sales. Well, in addition, the country will adjust tariffs next year, and for those imported digital phones that use general control chips that do not meet the new national standard, they will impose 150% punitive tariffs on quality hazards at the existing tariff level. β
Hu Yiting couldn't help laughing, laughed silently, thinking that this trick in the ministry is really bad, China has not joined the TO this year, 1062 as a chip designed in 08, of course, the function and quality parameters will be far ahead of the era of thirteen years ago, these standards mentioned by Minister Hu are all tailored for the performance advantages of the THT1062, and many of the functions and implementation means in the THT1062 chip have been registered as international patents by Chongguang Company, and other manufacturers cannot copy these IP core designs of Chongguang, which is equivalent to putting those Siemens on the market, Philips, Panasonic, Sony's imported telephones are all wiped out, unless ...... Hehe, unless they import chips from China to produce phones and sell them back to China!
Minister Hu said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it is your little Hu who has real skills, and uses core technology to cast an invulnerable shield for Made in China." I consulted the experts and professors in the ministry, and they were all optimistic about their estimates, saying THT1062 This chip is enough for Huajing to eat for 30 years and will not be outdated!"
Hu Yiting asked: "Then Huajing has 7 months of available production cycle left in a year, what contract do you plan to fill it with?"
Minister Hu suddenly raised his eyebrows at this time: "Of course it has to be your product!
Hu Yiting knew that Minister Hu must be eyeing his two fist products, otherwise with the 0.8 to 1 micron process of the 908 project and the monthly production capacity of 12,000 pieces, no IC product in China can fill this huge hole. The two chips, Youying Overlord and CMP1J1, one is a micron process and the other is a 0.8 micron process, which happens to be the dishes of 908 Huajing Factory.
"The experimental line of the Institute of Microelectronics has completed the research on the production process of floating-point registers, and what is the yield of the 0.8-micron process in Huajing Factory? If these two points are not solved, then don't think about transplanting. Hu Yiting reminded Minister Hu.
Seeing that your Chongguang is making such rapid progress, the Institute of Microelectronics has taken your Chongguang's products and technical parameters as a key research project, and in the past few months, their people have been working overtime day and night in the experimental line, and finally achieved significant results.!!
