In the seventies, the unit that was able to undertake the state's foreign complete equipment assistance project, and at the same time, it also had to help build another domestic semiconductor material unit, which was indeed very strong.

To understand that before this, Emei Semiconductor itself was only a third-tier unit, which can be seen that this is really very capable, and still maintains the first position in the domestic semiconductor materials industry.

Moreover, Emei Semiconductor is also engaged in the research of gallium arsenide materials, which is another golden rooster!

"You are still engaged in the research of gallium arsenide materials, so can you reach the stage of mass production? If you can mass production, we may also need Kaiyang Semiconductor. ”

Gallium arsenide materials are mainly used in the field of wireless radio frequency communications, before Wang Zhengguo and 607 were tinkering with the phased array radar, what was lacking was gallium arsenide materials, but he didn't expect Emei Semiconductor to be doing this thing, how could he not be excited.

Director Liang was surprised: "You can still use this thing? At present, the cost of gallium arsenide materials is quite expensive, usually used in the field of high-performance wireless radio frequency communications, although our factory pulled out the first gallium arsenide single crystal in 70 years, but it was only in 79 years that there were small batches of production orders for aerospace. ”

Speaking of the factory's supply of gallium arsenide single crystal materials for the aerospace port, this is another honor worthy of special mention, this project finally received a congratulatory message from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission, and there was also a letter of thanks from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

At this time, there is no monocrystalline silicon, so how can it be compared with the gallium arsenide project, there is no comparison at all!

Wang Zhengguo picked up the shot glass, didn't say anything, and took a sip directly: "To be honest, we Kaiyang Semiconductor has always cooperated with the military, and now it is also undertaking key military projects, for gallium arsenide single crystal materials, in fact, we also have needs, and it is not a small batch, once the project is successfully developed, the output is not less than the current production of 65C02 processors." ”

In the future, the demand for gallium arsenide single crystal materials is definitely a variety of explosive growth, and now Emei Semiconductor is encouraged to be ruthless and invest heavily in this area to realize the mass production of the material, which is the main purpose of Wang Zhengguo's dinner for dinner, and the other party must be convinced.

Director Liang looked at Wang Zhengguo's posture, and everyone was directly bored, how could he still hide it, he must treat people with sincerity, this is basic politeness.

"Let me say this, the above major central ministries and commissions jointly issued documents and calls, all in recognition of our contribution to the successful launch of the Dongfanghong 2 communication satellite in 84, which used a large number of gallium arsenide materials produced by our factory, but the cost requirements for communication satellites are not strict, and the output of materials is close to the state of the laboratory, and you now say that if you want to mass production, the investment required is not an ordinary small amount. ”

The production of a small amount of gallium arsenide material for communication satellites in the laboratory state is acceptable in terms of cost, but to say that large-scale production is obviously impossible to operate in the laboratory state, and it is necessary to invest heavily in research and development, and strive to achieve large-scale production processes to reduce costs.

"Last time, we didn't have an exact order to expand the scale of monocrystalline silicon production, which led to a huge waste of factory capacity, if there is no purchase order from you this time, the factory will soon have to transform the production line, switch to polysilicon, and gradually move closer to the photovoltaic industry. Therefore, it is almost impossible to invest in large-scale production of gallium arsenide until we have an exact order. ”

Finally, Wang Zhengguo found a little useful information, this Emei semiconductor is gradually moving closer to the polysilicon photovoltaic industry, if this continues, in the future, when the tragic photovoltaic industry winter of the Republic is encountered, I am afraid .....

Perhaps the upper-plane Emei semiconductor is because there are no orders in the monocrystalline silicon industry, so it has to fully turn to the polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic industry, and it has been going on smoothly since then.

Then until the outbreak of the photovoltaic industry in the Republic, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises rushed in, after the peak period of beating Europe and the United States, the European and American double anti-dumping investigation directly made the Republic of China's photovoltaic industry face a state of overcapacity, with the state-owned enterprise system of Emei Semiconductor at that time, it was obvious that it could not compete with a number of private enterprises in China, so as to decline and go bankrupt.

This is still a really sad story, Wang Zhengguo feels that he guessed the ending nine times out of ten this time, how can this not be embarrassing?

"You are still doing polysilicon projects, which is really extensive, and the current industrial prospects of that thing are not much better than gallium arsenide, are you so sure that you really want to invest in it and not think about it again?"

"What else to consider, involving the field of polysilicon, is because we fancy the prospects of the photovoltaic power generation industry, which is still just beginning in the world, and we are confident to gain a firm foothold in the photovoltaic industry. ”

Speaking of which, it seems that this unit fell in the industrial earthquake in the upper plane, and Wang Zhengguo can obviously feel the firmness of the other party in his heart, which cannot be faked.

In fact, it's right to think about it, in the eighties, the solar photovoltaic industry was in the middle of the industry at a glance, and in addition to the scientific research system of the professional research institute to which the unit belongs, it also cooperated with the scientific research forces of universities such as Shu University to jointly organize scientific research projects, and also came up with technical achievements.

To be fair, Emei Semiconductor is definitely the pioneer of the photovoltaic industry in the Republic, if it were not for the influx of private enterprises after 2000 and all kinds of disorderly competition, I am afraid that this Emei Semiconductor may really become a big man in the domestic photovoltaic industry.

As the most upstream industrial raw material manufacturer in the industrial system, it is constantly expanding the product coverage of the unit, and striving to develop downstream industries and make its own terminal industrial manufactured products.

The earthquake in the photovoltaic industry, Emei Semiconductor came to an end, which must be causally related to the decision of the factory to switch to the photovoltaic industry in the eighties, but to say that the reason for the final bankruptcy of the factory, it has to be attributed to the disorderly competition in the industry, and the competitiveness of state-owned enterprises in the same industry is not as good as that of private enterprises.

It is a very tragic state-owned semiconductor material factory, if the upper plane of Emei Semiconductor can still maintain some monocrystalline silicon orders when switching to the photovoltaic industry, the factory is developing in two lines, or is committed to the large-scale production of gallium arsenide materials, it will definitely be able to successfully withstand the cold winter of the photovoltaic industry and eventually become a generation of predators.

However, it is a pity that the scale of the semiconductor IC integrated circuit industry in the upper plane republic was not large before 2000, and the demand for monocrystalline silicon was too small, which led to Emei Semiconductor could only go on one leg in the photovoltaic industry, and finally could only go to the road of extinction.
