In September 1993, the domestic lithography machine with 05 micron process was successfully developed, and it has been promoted on a small scale. Of course, at the beginning, there were only Xinchuang Semiconductor Company and Lishan Semiconductor Company, and the two companies each purchased one. This is not because the 05-micron lithography machine is expensive, but more importantly, the production capacity of the 05-micron lithography machine is still relatively slow. When the R&D was announced, there were three in total, one was continuously improved and used internally, one was sold to Lishan Semiconductor, and one was sold to Xinchuang Semiconductor.

After that, it is expected to produce one 05-micron lithography machine in two months and six in a year. It takes time to increase the speed of production, and the related industries are gradually catching up with the development and can supply parts more efficiently.

Four years ago, it was also Linmeng Technology Co., Ltd. that filled the gap in China in the 1-micron lithography machine project.

In the beginning, the domestic 1-micron lithography machine was not cheaper than the imported lithography machine, with a price of 100 million yuan each, roughly worth 15 million US dollars. In addition to other supporting equipment, the 1-micron process-level chip factory has invested more than 200 million yuan. Compared with their counterparts in Europe, the United States and Japan, the equipment did not have an advantage at the beginning. Even, due to the early popularization of the one-micron process in Europe, America and Japan, the production line is cheaper than the one-micron production line independently developed in China.

Of course, the advanced equipment imported from overseas is cheaper on the basis of being able to develop and produce 1 micron process production lines in China.

If there is no 1 micron process production capacity in China, let alone imported equipment at a cheaper price, it is two different things whether others are willing to sell it.

But a few years ago, photolithography machine manufacturers in Europe, the United States and Japan wanted to sell 1 micron lithography machines to China, and they needed to get rid of a bunch of political barriers, after all, there are various technical barriers in the world, prohibiting high-end advanced technology and equipment from being sold to China. The ban on the sale of these high-end technologies and equipment is actually great news for Chinese companies interested in related industries. For example, the biggest advantage of the establishment of Linmeng Technology Company in China is that companies in Europe, the United States, Japan and other companies are limited by a bunch of international technology blockades against China, and it is difficult to sell the most advanced products to the Chinese market as quickly as possible.

It is precisely for this reason that the domestic market is actually a feng shui treasure for high-end technology products. As long as you can develop it, foreign products will be banned from being exported to China because of their own initiative. Therefore, there is no rival to be found to seize the market! In the early days of reform and opening up, many capitals turned a blind eye to this kind of good thing, and were only willing to purchase technology and low-end equipment that had been eliminated from abroad, and they could use it when they got it back, and they would immediately produce profits and benefits, without considering the independent mastery of technology and future development. This practice, undoubtedly, is a waste of China's high-end intelligence, and the quality of domestic R&D personnel is not lower than that of their counterparts in developed countries, simply because of the lack of experience in doing projects. One project after another is invested, and with the accumulation of time, the value of domestic talents will be shown step by step. Lin Meng Technology Company relies on the dividends of domestic high-end talents.

By the time manufacturers in Europe, the United States and Japan have begun to be approved, selling the 1-micron production line to the Chinese market, which is already after the mass production of Pangu 7.

If, when AD company turns the other cheek with Xinchuang Electronic Technology, overseas semiconductor equipment manufacturers will sell more advanced lithography machines to the Chinese market. It is not certain that the lithography machine of Linmeng Technology Company will not dominate the domestic market.

But four years ago, not only the shameless betrayal of AD Company, but also many semiconductor equipment suppliers in the international market wanted to step on it and make the Pangu computer of the new venture electronics group fail in the competition. After that, whether it is picking up corpses cheaply, or strangling Pangu computers, and making them the tears of the times, this can bring huge benefits to many manufacturers in Europe and the United States, especially American manufacturers.

It is a pity that Pangu Computer encountered AD in the 5th generation to reduce the supply of chips, and quickly relied on the strength of domestic independent production to launch 6th generation products whose performance is not inferior to that of the 5th generation.

This not only keeps the market and sales of domestic Pangu computers, but more importantly, it keeps the market share of Pangu computers, which is actually equivalent to keeping the domestic semiconductor industry and even the domestic software industry.

The domestic 1-micron lithography machine has achieved amazing growth by relying on the blowout of the CPU chip market of Pangu 6.

A micron lithography machine can produce up to 1.5 million Pangu 6 chips a year, but Pangu 6 has a peak annual sales of 40 million units. Just to meet the CPU orders of Pangu 6th generation computers, it is necessary to build 30 chip factories to produce CPUs, and more than 20,000 industrial workers need to be added.

Not to mention, there are other semiconductor chips that require more lithography machines.

After the launch of Pangu 6. In 90 years, the shipment of Linmeng 1 micron lithography machine has reached 20 units.

In 91, with the advent of the Pangu 7th generation computer, it was still based on 1 micron technology. The shipment of domestic 1 micron lithography machine exceeded 45 units.

In two years, 65 lithography machines were sold in short supply, and the revenue of 6.5 billion yuan was obtained, and the R&D cost of 1-micron process lithography machine has been recovered.

After that, the pace of capacity expansion of the domestic semiconductor chip industry is still continuing! It seems that it is preparing to make semiconductor chips into cabbage prices!

In only 92 years, the price of the lithography machine of Linmeng Technology Company began to drop significantly, to 30 million yuan for sale, which also caused the shipment to soar to 147 units. Domestic chip factories have purchased 96 units, and overseas companies have also purchased 51 lithography machines from Limon Technology Company. Subsequently, the price of the 1-micron lithography machine of Linmeng Technology Company continued to drop.

It was reduced to August 93, and the ex-factory price was only 15 million yuan. The export price is only 2 million US dollars, and you can buy a set of lithography machines with an annual production of 500,000 ~ 2 million semiconductor chips with 1 micron process. Together with some supporting equipment, it only takes $5 million to invest in a 1-micron process plant. This kind of cost performance has stimulated the surge of orders at home and abroad!

Among them, AD company is the most active importer, and only AD company has imported more than 30 one-micron lithography machines. Although it is not a factory in the United States, it is in Mexico, Southeast Asia and other regions, investing in chip factories, using Lithography machines from Lamon Technology to produce some DRA chips, hard disk main control chips, motherboard chips and the like.

After all, AD company is in an awkward position in the field of high-end chips, and the high-end XR architecture chips produced cannot be sold independently, but can only accept OEM orders from Xinchuang Electronics Group, and after that, the chips are sold entirely through the channels of Xinchuang Electronics Group. The Pangu computer of Xinchuang Electronic Technology does not use AD chips, and will only be sold as a wholesaler to compatible machine manufacturers and DIY channels.

As for the Pangu computer and Pangu notebook under the New Venture Electronics Group, it is better to use the chips produced by the domestic 1-micron process than the higher-performance chips produced by the AD company with the 08-micron production line.

Not only Pangu 7 generation computers, but also AD chips will not be used. Even the upcoming Pangu 8th generation computer will not use AD chips.

This is also to punish AD company, if it were not for the betrayal of AD company 4 years ago, then Pangu computer will always use the high-end chips made by AD company as the standard configuration of the latest generation of machines. But the betrayal of AD a few years ago, although it did not cause irreparable damage to the new start-up electronics company. However, this is also a new venture electronics group, which has held a grudge against AD for many years.

It is precisely for this reason that although AD companies are allowed to manufacture XR architecture chips, their market share is relatively low, and the market share of Pangu computer chips has dropped to less than 10.

AD company's purchase of Lithography machine from Linmeng Technology Co., Ltd. is indeed cost-effective on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is a show of goodwill. In this way, the relationship with the new entrepreneurship department is repaired.

At present, the 1 micron lithography machine is a thing of the past, and Lin Meng Technology Company directly skipped 08 microns. Because, although 08 microns are improved compared with 1 micron, it is not an advanced process in the world at present.

The lithography machine with 05 micron process, first-line manufacturers such as Intel, has just been put into use, ready to be used in the next generation of Intel's chip products. Pentium and Pentium 2nd generation, many of which are produced by 05 micron processes.

The 05-micron lithography machine of Linmeng Technology Company, although the ex-factory price has increased to 1.5 billion yuan. However, there is no need to worry about running out of orders at all.

Because, for the current leading domestic chip manufacturers, profits are at their peak.

For example, the two giants of Lishan Semiconductor and Xinchuang Semiconductor have entered the harvest period. Pangu 6 and Pangu 7 generation computers, bringing a bunch of products such as CPU, graphics card, memory, motherboard control chip, etc., have generated a huge market.

As far as Lishan Semiconductor is concerned, the current annual product sales exceed 30 billion yuan, and the net profit is also more than 2 billion yuan. This is also Lishan Semiconductor Company, which needs to invest 5 billion yuan of capital every year for the process and capacity expansion of the chip production process.

After that, greater production capacity and more advanced technology can receive higher value-added orders in the future. Therefore, Lishan Semiconductor can be said to be a loyal customer of Linmeng Technology Company.

Not to mention the newly started semiconductor companies, which are their own families, use production equipment, and basically some of them give priority to their own products.
