Long......

Desks and office chairs were in shambles, and even office computers were scrapped because teacups were hit and water flowed into the chassis and burned the motherboard.

Fortunately, the materials on Meng Xin's computer are backed up and regularly uploaded to the lab's encrypted internal storage server. Dan's usual office computer had this kind of problem, which not only made Meng Xin angry and pinched Lin Qi's arm blue and red. Lin Qi naturally returned the color to let her know that men are more powerful in this world after all.

"I'm going to die! really, just keep yourself comfortable, regardless of the consequences!" After finishing the matter, Meng Xin wiped the traces clean, and began to tidy up his clothes and clean the office, "I know that the information in the computer is at least the result of a few hours of labor." Counted in RMB, a few millions. ”

"Yes, yes, wife, I'm sorry!" After Lin Qi was satisfied, he was still in a good mood and helped Meng Xin clean up the messy office.

"Know it's wrong?"

"Hmm!"

"I can't be angry if I let you go like this! Reinstall a computer for me, and others are not allowed to pretend to be busy!"

"Isn't it, wife, wouldn't it be better to just ask the logistics department to send a new machine?"

"It's punishment, I'm willing!"

Meng Xin called the logistics department of the company's laboratory to take out the scrapped computer to see if it could be repaired and recovered.

In order to avoid loss, important scientific research institutions should destroy important storage hardware such as hard disks. Of course, in order to improve management, other components should not be leaked.

Later, under the coercion of Meng Xin, Lin Qi assembled a new office computer with her. Originally, the whole machine could be sent over, but Meng Xin wanted to punish Lin Qi, so he asked people to send the hardware over, and after that, he began to command Lin Qi to assemble the hardware. Encountering Lin Qi's clumsy appearance, Meng Xin obtained pleasure through ridicule.

Thanks to Lin Qi's good temper, otherwise he would really turn his face.

Forced to take the installation manual, in Meng Xin's joke, began to install the top-level configuration of the office computer in this era. Although it is impossible to compare with the computers of the 21st century, it is already the top configuration of office computers in this era.

Although, the installation process has been continuously optimized, and Xiaobai has been taken care of. However, Lin Qi still felt that Zhen Nima was tiring, so he also planned to go back and continue to let the company simplify the installation of the next generation of Pangu computers. You don't need any technology, you don't need any experience, you can install it quickly, that's the way to go.

After finishing the work, Meng Xin sneered, wiped Lin Qi's sweat, and said, "Husband, it's hard work, I see that you are tired." ”

"Tired fart, not tired!" Lin Qi punned, "If you don't accept it, you will fight the second round." ”

Because of holding back for a few months, Lin Qi felt that he was much braver than before.

"you!" Meng Xin glanced at him and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, thinking that I am like you, the older I get, the more unserious I become." ”

……

Although the domestic 0.5 micron lithography machine has been successfully developed, in order to avoid startling the snake, it is not ready to publicize it in the news with great fanfare for the time being.

Moreover, it is also technically secretive to avoid being understood by competitors faster in terms of technical direction.

Anyway, at this stage, the 0.5 micron lithography machine does not need to be sold to the outside world.

At this stage, the profit model of Linmeng Technology Company is patent fees on the one hand, and lithography machines on the other hand. In terms of the number of patents, Linmeng Technology does not look as good as Xinchuang Electronics, which registers more than 1,000 international patents a year, and the number of domestic patents registered does not exceed 3,000 per year. All kinds of appearance patents and some application patents, Lin Meng Technology Company is disdainful of registration, and the registered ones are basically some core technologies with very high technical content.

For example, the current 0.5 micron lithography machine does not imitate the mainstream technology of the current lithography machine manufacturers, but applies the new technology that has not been popularized in the 90s, immersive lithography technology.

Using immersive lithography technology to make a 0.5 micron lithography machine, that is, 500 nanometers, is a bit like killing chickens and using a knife, but if you don't use it now, these patents may be registered by others in the future. Therefore, even if you use a knife to kill chickens, you should occupy the pit in advance first!

The lithography machine began to come out in the 60s, at first it was a contact lithography machine, a proximity lithography machine, and gradually upgraded to a projection lithography machine in the 70s, making the semiconductor technology level gradually begin to represent the most sophisticated processing technology level of human beings. By the 1980s, lithography machines had been upgraded again to step-by-step lithography and step-by-step scanning lithography.

Every technological breakthrough will make the semiconductor manufacturing industry choose the direction of technology. If you choose the right direction, you will naturally take it all, and if you choose the wrong direction, you will lose your market share in the high-end lithography machine market with higher profits in the future because of backward technology

In the 80s, there were more than 100 enterprises in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, all of which had the ability to develop and produce lithography machines, and even East Germany used to be a supplier in the lithography machine market.

After entering the 90s, a large number of lithography machine manufacturers began to fall behind. In the early 90s, ASML in Europe did not have such a high market share, and even the technology was not too advanced. What really made this company explode was that in 2002, it took the lead in using a 193nm immersion lithography machine. At the beginning, the 193nm immersion lithography machine was not really ahead, and it was not until 2004 that the 193nm immersion lithography machine was used to achieve 90nm machining accuracy. Subsequently, it gradually broke through 65 nanometers, 40 nanometers, and 28 nanometers, making non-immersion lithography machines unreachable!

In particular, the 28nm era has made non-immersion lithography machine manufacturers desperate, and even have given up continuing to invest in research and development, because it is impossible to catch up with immersion lithography machines.

It is precisely because of the key technical nodes that the right direction was chosen. Therefore, at the beginning of the 21st century, ASML dominated the lithography machine market.

Competitors such as Canon and Nikon later scrapped their boss and also made lithography machines with 28nm precision, not to mention, ASML did not stop progressing, but continued to improve the accuracy from 28nm to 20nm, 14nm, 12nm, 10nm, and 7nm.

The gap between other lithography machine manufacturers and ASML has gradually widened to more than ten years. Unless the ASML patent expires and the future process level will stagnate for a long time, it is basically impossible for industry peers who have been widened by the technology gap to the extent of more than ten years to regain the market.

The lithography machine launched this time, although the process level only reaches 0.5 microns, which is a shame for the intrusive lithography machine technology, but it is better to kill chickens with a knife than to let the dominance of the technical route be occupied by other manufacturers.

After the advent of the intrusive lithography machine, all the opponents have been helpless, and they have to watch one company monopolize the market. It can be seen that this technical route represents the right direction in the coming decades. In the future, until the 5nm era, the technical route will be patched up on the technical route in 2002.

Even for the foreseeable future, until the end of the nano era, this technology will be invincible. Only after the nano era, entering the theoretically existing era of picometer-level technology, may be replaced by other technical paths. But we don't know when 1 nanometer will be reached, let alone the picometer era after the end of nanometers, and it is still unknown whether it will come in my lifetime.

At least, in the future known to Lin Qi and Meng Xin, the accuracy of human processing technology for materials has not yet exceeded 1 nanometer.
