Chapter 375: Nashi (4)
The symposium lasted for a long time, and many semiconductor-related talents came to consult, including Professor Ge Shouren, former dean of the School of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, academician of the American Academy of Engineering, one of the main founders of modern electronic circuits and system theory, and a pioneer of CAD for microelectronic circuits.
The professor proposed that Kaiyang Semiconductor can provide the world's top integrated circuit layout and wiring algorithm technology, and provide the best CAD software in the current field of microelectronic design: SEC.
It turned out that this was a big guy engaged in computer CAD, and Wang Zhengguo was excited.
Although there is a certain difference between professional microelectronic circuit design CAD and 3D CAD software, but the same computer-aided design software, there must still be some similarities, and then introduced the new generation of 3D CAD software based on the ABC-PC system based on the ABC-PC system in China, hoping that Professor Ge can give technical support.
It was also the first time that the professor learned that the domestic 3D CAD design scheme idea had evolved to prepare for the development of the module architecture and to integrate the CAD design work in various fields.
Also an old professor-level big man, Professor Zhuo Yihe of Bell Labs said that he would also cooperate with Kaiyang Semiconductor to take out the molecular beam epitaxy technology developed and gradually improved by Bell Labs in the 70s and authorize Kaiyang Semiconductor to use it at a low price.
Molecular epitaxy technology, which can greatly reduce the thickness of semiconductor films, and the manufacturing accuracy of the process has increased from a few microns to a few tenths of a micron, and has a very good effect in the manufacture of gallium arsenide semiconductor components.
If the CMOS RF chip can meet the basic RF communication needs, then in the era of wireless cellular phone (mobile phone), the most critical mobile phone antenna can only be made of gallium arsenide with better microwave power performance, especially after the mobile phone antenna is built-in, the demand for gallium arsenide antenna module will be greater.
But then again, it is impossible to launch the mobile phone project in a short period of time, and if we really wait until there is a demand for mobile phone antenna modules in the future, the gallium arsenide manufacturing process has also made great progress, so this molecular beam epitaxy technology is really chicken ribs now.
However, Wang Zhengguo still chooses to get the technology first, after all, the gallium arsenide T/R module designed by Kaiyang Semiconductor and 607 has been engineering designed, and Emei Semiconductor is also working hard to improve the purity and bar size of gallium arsenide single crystal.
All the situation shows that the domestic gallium arsenide T/R module industry has reached the eve of a breakthrough, if the molecular beam epitaxy technology can be mastered again this time, the T/R module under design can be integrated with more circuit modules, so that the overall performance of the module has been further enhanced.
At the end of the whole symposium and after all the participants had a meal, after half a day, seeing that everyone had almost left, Wang Zhengguo received a message from the staff.
......
In a café in the middle of nowhere, I finally saw the person who didn't say a word in the symposium, but left behind after everyone had left.
"Yu Youcheng, the general head of Intel's CPU business, is in charge of the development of all CPU project departments of Intel, and I am currently the first person in the company after Grove, and now I am interested in the CEO position of Kaiyang Semiconductor. ”
The words are not shocking, and they come up and say that they are interested in the position of CEO of Kaiyang.
But it's right to think about it, people have already said that they are above 10,000 people under Intel Corporation, and they manage all of Intel's CPU business in a unified manner, which alone is enough to show that they are awesome, and this qualification and experience are really old-fashioned.
"Intel?Very gorgeous resume, since you are a peer, I believe you also have a certain understanding of Kaiyang Semiconductor, can you tell me your opinion on Kaiyang?"
The questions raised by Wang Zhengguo are very normal, and almost all companies must have them when interviewing newcomers, but now this is obviously not coming for an interview, and the two parties are at most willing to sit down and get to know each other.
"Attack on all fronts, diversify products!"
Yu Youcheng's views and insights are very simple, but they are very in line with Wang Zhengguo's taste, and then he talked about his work experience, which is also very interesting.
"I actually resigned from Intel once in 79 years, when the mainland had just reformed and opened up, I thought that the opportunity could not be lost, so I went to the imperial capital, Huadu as a computer product agent, recruited more than 200 users to set up a training center in Xiangjiang to take classes, and later found that the sales of PC products in the United States in the mainland were bleak, so I returned to work in Intel in March 81, it should be said that I still know more about the mainland market. ”
It turned out that in 79 years, I was able to resign from the United States to promote PC computer products in the mainland, and this vision was indeed long-term enough.
Being able to see the huge potential of the mainland market, but choosing the wrong time to enter, I have to say that this experience is too dramatic.
One went to the mainland to work on the ground for two years, and then returned to Intel to oversee all the CPU business, so far, it seems that this Yu Youcheng is indeed quite suitable for Kaiyang Semiconductor.
"Your resume and experience are indeed a good fit for Kaiyang Semiconductor, but there is one thing I am puzzled about, I would like to know why you chose to leave Intel, now that you are in a position that you are bright enough, after Grove retires, you have a good chance of taking over the company, so can you tell me why you chose to leave?"
Faced with such a sharp question, Yu Youcheng knew that he couldn't avoid it, and after a slight pause for a few seconds, accompanied by a wry smile, he slowly said the truth.
"It's still the ceiling effect, maybe you think that I can do this far, and I have successfully broken through that diaphragm, but in fact it is far from that simple, in addition to strength, there is also a large part of the luck factor in this step today. ”
"I start with Intel's business data in previous years, the company actually 86 years ago, 40% of the turnover and 100% of the profit came from the CPU department, but more than 80% of the research and development expenses were spent on memory, at that time memory was the company's core business, so I can have the opportunity to lead all the CPU business with my own ability, because I lead the CPU business can make money for the company and transfuse blood to the storage division. ”
Recalling his glorious moments back then, he still feels a little emotional, after all, Intel's CPU business is developing and growing in his own hands.
However, not all heroes can enjoy their due treatment, Yu Youcheng was obviously unfair, and then his words were even full of sadness.
"In 1986, the company's storage war with Japan ended in failure, and Intel had to abandon the storage division and fully transform into the CPU business, at which time the CPU business was the focus of the company, and Grove did not want to see me still in charge of everything related to the CPU business. In the last two years, I can already feel that he is making things difficult for me. ”
