Chapter 240: Equity

The equipment of lithography machine is too high-precision, and the global production capacity has always been tight, such as the lithography machine giant ASML after 2000, which has actually monopolized the global high-end lithography machine market, but its production capacity still can't keep up. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

The key lithography machine workpiece table requires ultra-precision machining capabilities, and the low yield rate is terrible, and the core lithography machine luminescent crystals are produced by human character, which shows how difficult the production of these equipment is.

Fortunately, these problems will be encountered in the production of ultra-precision lithography machines after 2000, and the production of JK-micron lithography machines in the eighties probably does not need too top materials, as long as skilled workers are in place, the production capacity problem is naturally quickly solved.

"How to solve it, you can talk about it first. ”

"Now the institute does not pay much attention to the lithography machine, adaptive optics research in the first half of the year has produced very good results, Jiang Chief Engineer put the focus of work there, the funds and resources in the institute have been transferred accordingly. ”

It's really heart-wrenching news, after hearing this, and Wang Zhengguo's previous questions about the lithography machine where Shudu Optoelectronics is located have also been properly resolved.

The reason why the Shudu Institute of Optics and Mechanics in the upper plane failed to continue to develop products with higher precision after developing JK- in 8 years is that JK- did not bring actual income to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, and on the other hand, because the Institute has made breakthroughs in the field of adaptive optics.

Think about it, JK-can't bring economic effects in a short period of time, and the institute happens to achieve world-class scientific research results in adaptive optics, after comparison, of course, it is necessary to invest limited resources in advantageous areas, so as to maintain sufficient scientific research investment.

In the eighties of the upper plane, there was no progress in the semiconductor integration industry in China, and there was naturally no demand for lithography machines, and it was normal for Shudu Optical Machinery to choose to give up this piece, after all, who could guess what would happen after 2000.

After understanding the situation, Wang Zhengguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, just know the cause of the problem, and he can completely prescribe the right medicine to solve it!

"I understand, that is to say, the lithography department of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics has been overwhelmed by the adaptive optics part, and it is impossible for the institute to provide enough funds to develop in this area?"

Walking out of the dim exhibition hall and feeling the warmth of the sun, since they are already very clear about the situation, in fact, they don't have to worry too much, they all walk casually.

Xu Guangcheng had already introduced the situation to the same extent, led Wang Zhengguo to an office, and pointed to the small number of office desks inside, which probably accommodated more than ten people.

"When I came to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, you and Sanshi both said that lithography is a very important core industry, so I jumped into the lithography department. It's true that I'm very much valued in the department, because the whole department is now just me as a newly assigned college student, and the rest of the people who came at the same time are all on the adaptive optics side. ”

The truth is very cruel, just looking at the situation in this office, it is clear that the lithography machine department is doing very badly, if there is no order for fifteen lithography machines from Kaiyang Semiconductor, maybe there will be fewer and fewer people in this office.

As for the order of these fifteen optical machines, it can be seen that Xu Guangcheng is determined to win this, maybe he will have some different ideas, after all, this department has been broken, and the so-called extreme thinking about change is exactly this reason.

"Say, I can see that you still have ideas, and to solve the dilemma that the lithography department is currently encountering, you must have breakthrough thinking. ”

As long as there is money, the initial stage can be maintained, and the first product will be profitable after delivery, and the follow-up will naturally develop slowly.

Stretched out five fingers: "I need a sum of money now, about 500,000 yuan, with this money, I can persuade the institute to separate the lithography machine, I know that you Kaiyang Semiconductors are not short of money, and you will definitely be able to get it." Correspondingly, Kaiyang Semiconductor can also account for 20% of the shares in the project. ”

This is already the best way that can be thought of at present, except for getting money from other channels, Xu Guangcheng no longer has much hope for the institute.

It should be known that the chief engineer of the institute is a pure scientific existence, and it is unlikely that he will be interested in lithography machines anymore because he has devoted himself to adaptive optics.

To put it bluntly, the lithography department of the Shudu Institute of Optics and Mechanics has fallen out of favor, and they need to support themselves, and the introduction of external capital injection in this case is the best solution.

So, is it necessary to take a stake in a company that produces lithography machines, and from the perspective of Kaiyang Semiconductor, is it necessary to bear an additional expense now when the company itself has not yet achieved profitability?

Before thinking about the problem, the first thing that comes to someone's mind is actually the famous ASML company in the future, what is the situation of the company's shareholding structure, and whether it is worth referencing.

ASML's shareholding structure is very clear, Intel, TSMC, and Samsung are its major shareholders, and the three important giants in the semiconductor integrated electronics industry spend a lot of money to support ASML, and all three companies have dedicated technicians stationed in ASML.

There is no doubt that in the lithography machine, which is related to the core equipment of the semiconductor industry upgrading, it must be focused on by major manufacturers, relying on the identity of shareholders to obtain equipment production capacity, or to get better and more comprehensive services.

Almost all of the giants in the semiconductor industry have their own say in lithography machines, and only in this way can they ensure that the equipment they use can not lag behind other competitors.

At present, Kaiyang Semiconductor has not yet developed and is very weak, and the same is true of the lithography department of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics, both of which are properly new.

But Wang Zhengguo also knows very well that with the best-selling Yaoguang type, all kinds of expansion cassettes will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and correspondingly, the market demand for JK-lithography machine is absolutely indispensable.

In the eighties on the upper plane, no one opened the cassette market, and even the Hanka device was only available on a large scale in the late eighties, and at that time, JK-, I'm afraid they were all completely starved to death.

However, the current situation is very different, the cassette market has been opened in advance, and the market demand will definitely not be less, JK-this equipment will definitely be able to get a large number of orders, and the output will exceed three digits is inevitable.

In this way, investing in lithography machine is definitely not a loss, and this is also the only opportunity for the domestic lithography machine industry.

"Okay, I support you, the investment of 500,000 yuan can be put in place, and since Kaiyang Semiconductor is already a shareholder of your lithography machine department, we will pay the equipment deposit in advance when necessary. ”
