Chapter 623: Equipment Problems (Subscription Requested)

Regarding the manufacturing equipment of chips, Shen Qing is seizing the time to contact. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the chip industry, production equipment is the top priority and the most difficult problem to solve.

In China, due to the blockade of Western countries, it is difficult for Zhenguo enterprises to obtain chip production equipment, let alone some advanced production equipment, which is a difficult problem to solve.

The technical fields involved in the production of chips are very complex, and the types of equipment used are naturally very large.

It can be said that no manufacturing equipment company can take care of all the equipment, in Zhenjie, several of the largest semiconductor equipment manufacturers, in their respective segments of the advantages are very obvious, for advanced technology chip manufacturers, leaving any semiconductor equipment manufacturers, it is difficult to operate.

For example, during the earthquake in Japan, Nikon's Scanner could not be delivered on time, and Intel's 22nm R&D and mass production were greatly affected.

In Zhenjie, the United States, Japan and the Netherlands are the main players in semiconductor equipment, or monopoly countries, in this technology and capital-intensive industry, some emerging manufacturers without technology accumulation can not play this industry at all, and the cooperation between these semiconductor equipment manufacturers is also very common.

For example, Applied Materials, the largest manufacturer in the United States, merged with Japan's TEL, while Intel, Samsung and TSMC have all invested in ASML, and these manufacturers are not very clear in terms of country definitions.

In the Zhenjie semiconductor industry, although the five major semiconductor equipment manufacturers are not well known to the public, they almost monopolize the entire market, and all semiconductor companies must cooperate with them, otherwise they don't want to play in this industry.

Chip manufacturing roughly includes lithography, etching, thin films, ion implantation and diffusion, and the rest is cleaning measurement, etc., and the types of equipment involved are very large.

Because these devices are monopolized by several major manufacturers, and this is a product with extremely high technical difficulty, the price is naturally very expensive.

Because of the strategic significance of semiconductor equipment and technology, the countries to which these five major manufacturers belong have strict export restrictions on these equipment, and it is not possible to buy these equipment with money.

For example, Zhenguo can't buy the most advanced equipment and technology, or the same thing, which must cost more than others to get, which is also the reason why domestic chip manufacturing technology can't keep up with the international advanced level, not only because of its own problems, but also because of the import restrictions by these countries, which is also the biggest reason for questioning.

In Zhenguo's chip companies, even at any cost, it is difficult to buy the most advanced equipment, even if some equipment has been behind for several years, it is very difficult to obtain, and it needs to be obtained through some more tortuous ways.

Even an American company like Intel, when it was mass-producing 32nm, its factory in Zhenguo could only produce 65nm in accordance with the regulations, and could not achieve mass production of 32nm, because it was worried that the 32nm production equipment would be obtained by Zhenguo, which was all aimed at on the surface.

Is Lightyear Technology a Zhenguo enterprise? There is no doubt about this, and Su Rui will not deny it.

This time, it is not easy for Lightyear Technology to get a set of chip production equipment, which is the same as other Zhenguo enterprises.

The most important thing is that some Zhenguo enterprises with capital cannot get a set of advanced complete equipment even at any cost, let alone a company that does not have much capital like Lightyear Technology, and it is even more difficult to get it.

Therefore, as for the advanced production equipment, Lightyear Technology Company can directly ignore it, and it is impossible to get it at all.

You can't get it if you have money, and you can't even think about it if you don't have it.

However, it doesn't matter, Su Rui never thought of the most advanced production equipment, but just wanted complete production equipment, that's all, there are no too high requirements for production equipment, just need to be complete and complete.

Even if these production equipment is backward, it doesn't matter, as long as it is complete, this is the most important point.

In this regard, Su Rui has already explained to Shen Qing that as long as it is complete and complete, even if it is backward, or if it is a technology that has been eliminated, or even after a few hands of production equipment, it doesn't matter if it is broken, even if it is acquired, it would be better if it could save some money.

He already plans to upgrade or upgrade these devices with life modifiers after obtaining them, so as to transform these backward equipment into the world's most advanced production equipment, and even more advanced than the five major manufacturers.

Of course, if he could, Su Rui naturally wanted to get the most advanced production equipment directly, instead of upgrading or upgrading through life modifiers, so that he could also save faith points, and he would not have to spend so many faith points to be able to play a role in other places.

It's just that Lightyear Technology has no way to get it, even if he wants to save a little faith value, there is no way, so he can only buy these obsolete production equipment.

This is because when the Life Modifier upgrades an item, it will not only make the item more advanced, but at the same time, it will also make the item change from old to new.

This way, even if these devices are broken, or even unrepairable, there is no problem, as long as they are upgraded or upgraded by the life modifier, these devices will look brand new, and they will directly become brand new, and there will be nothing bad or bad.

Therefore, Su Rui's requirements for production equipment can be described as extremely low, only requiring that the production equipment must be complete, and there are no other requirements.

And according to this requirement, if Shen Qing wants to get these devices, there is still hope that he can do it.

Because the equipment required by Lightyear Technology is extremely backward and has been eliminated, the five major manufacturers basically have no more, and only some chip manufacturers may have it, but it must be thrown aside and there is no way to use it.

And Shen Qing does not plan to cooperate with the five major manufacturers, but plans to purchase directly from chip manufacturers.

It is precisely because the equipment required by Lightyear Technology is extremely backward and not within the scope of export restrictions, and even domestic manufacturers can provide it, so naturally there is no difficulty.

The most important thing is that these devices are also a pity to be abandoned by chip manufacturers, and they are useless to stay, if they can be sold and exchanged for a little money back, they are still willing to do so, and naturally they will not refuse the cooperation of Lightyear Technology Company.

Therefore, Shen Qing is still relatively easy when purchasing production equipment, and her job is only to find all the types of equipment, and then compare them and purchase them at the lowest price.
