Chapter 493: Mini Fab (2nd Update)
"But there are some things I don't understand. Zuo Xiaoke scratched his head and said: "Such a high degree of intensification, is achieved in this way, and how can 5 production lines be established at once in such a small place and in such a short time, and the production capacity of each one has not only not decreased, but is even much larger than the standard!
Wang Fan looked at Zuo Xiaoke's cute appearance of serious thinking, and couldn't help but say: "Xiaoke, this is the new Jingyuan factory model." ”
"The new wafer fab model?" Zuo Xiaoke's blazing eyes widened: "The existing wafer fab model, I know some, should be formulated by TSMC Chairman Zhang Zhongmou, and even the wafer foundry model is like this." Samsung, Intel, are all such models. However, your new model ......"
"Zhang Zhongmou's model is good, but outdated. Under that model, it takes a lot of time, land, manpower, and material resources to build a wafer factory, and it takes a year or two to work even if it is a day and night, several shifts, which is very difficult. ”
Zuo Xiaoke nodded: "Yes, Samsung's 18-inch wafer factory, with an investment of tens of billions, will take 3 years to complete!"
Wang Fan smiled slightly: "In 3 years, Samsung can afford to wait, hehe, it's just that they wait for the final result, and they may give up helplessly!"
Three years is too long, anything can happen.
In particular, the existence of mortal technology and the development of semiconductors will surely accelerate the development of the entire semiconductor process.
Wait until 3 years later, Samsung's 18-inch wafer factory is completed, I am afraid that it has not yet made a big splash, but I found that the world has already changed!
"3 years is quite a long time!" Zuo Xiaoke couldn't help but say, "What about your Jingyuan factory?"
Wang Fan said: "The wafer fab of Mortal Technology adopts a new model, which can be said to be a highly intensive mini wafer fab. Through the sharing of resources such as equipment and places, as well as facilities, the construction volume of the entire wafer factory has been greatly reduced, the construction period has been greatly shortened, and even many equipment are specially customized. Of course, even the lithography machine has been greatly upgraded. ”
You must know that the lithography machines used in several production lines in military factories can not only reach the top level of 14 nanometers, but also be completely backward compatible.
It can be said that these production lines are all-round production lines, which can be used to mass produce chips of 14 nanometers, 16 nanometers, 20 nanometers, 28 nanometers and other specifications.
Unlike TSMC and Samsung, there is a clear distinction between 16 nanometers and 20 nanometers, which can only produce 16 nanometers, and 20 nanometers can only produce 20 nanometers.
You know, the current market is uneven, and the tastes of several major customers are even more different.
Apple chips are 14 nanometers plus 16 nanometers, Samsung chips are 14 nanometers, Qualcomm's chips are mostly 20 nanometers, and Huawei, MediaTek's chips are mostly 28 nanometers!
Therefore, if mortal semiconductors want to develop and mortal wafer factories want to make profits, they can only swallow these major chip orders with different specifications.
Therefore, it is also necessary to meet various specifications and balance various production capacities.
However, in terms of balancing various production capacities, it is the biggest problem, and even TSMC and Samsung are prone to mistakes, resulting in a serious shortage of production capacity of some specifications, and a large amount of overcapacity of some specifications.
After all, this year's market is like this, but next year's market, no one can say.
Moreover, the chips are ordered several months in advance, and the design is a few months.
Therefore, once the budget is wrong and there is a capacity crisis, no one can do anything.
It is impossible to take a 28nm production line to make up for the 20nm production capacity, and it is impossible to use a 14nm production line to support the 28nm production capacity.
But mortal semiconductors do not have this problem.
The black-tech mini wafer field can be adjusted at any time to adapt to the production capacity of various specifications.
It can be said that with this alone, mortal semiconductors have incomparable advantages.
"Then how long will it take for your mini wafer factory to be built?" Zuo Xiaoke couldn't help but ask, as if he was full of interest.
Wang Fan said: "Because the specifications of some special workshops in this military factory can meet the requirements of the Jingyuan factory, a lot of engineering is saved, and the equipment can be paved as long as it is renovated." It will take about another week to finish, and then it will take another 3 days, and the concoction will be OK!"
This is also the reason why Wang Fan is bent on taking the military factory.
As a military factory, it also has a lot of high-precision weapons and equipment, and there is naturally nothing to say about the specifications of the plant, which has a unique and huge advantage for the current high-quality wafer factory.
"You can finish the concoction in 3 days?" Zuo Xiaoke's sexy red lips were surprised into an "O" shape, obviously completely stunned by Wang Fan's words.
You must know that the chip production line involves all aspects, even if it is a giant such as TSMC, Intel, and Samsung, after the completion of the wafer factory, it will take several months to modulate it.
And mortal technology, 3 days!
How is this possible?
Looking at Zuo Xiaoke's disbelief, Wang Fan smiled slightly: "Mortal technology, even the lithography machine upgrade can be done, do you think the modulation work cannot be completed in 3 days?"
"Uh......" Zuo Xiaoke was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
Yes, Mortal Technology was able to upgrade the 20nm lithography machine to 14nm, and also created a new model of highly intensive and efficient mini wafer fabs, so it seems that it has really become easier to complete modulation in 3 days.
…………
Leaving the wafer factory, it was already dusk.
Wang Fan drove a Lamborghini and took Zuo Xiaoke to embark on the return journey again.
This time, Zuo Xiaoke didn't have any restraints, nor did he think nonsense, but the expression on his face was still a little strange.
There is no way, today in the military factory, Zuo Xiaoke can be said to have completely subverted his previous cognition, and he has seen too many incredible, and even now he still has a dreamlike feeling.
Zuo Xiaoke recalled what he saw today and couldn't help laughing.
This made Wang Fan a little speechless, you know, a person next to him suddenly smirked for no reason, it was indeed a little terrifying.
Zuo Xiaoke suddenly turned around, looked at Wang Fan and said, "Ah, I know so many secrets today, they should all be the core secrets of mortal technology, right?"
Wang Fan nodded: "Yes." ”
Zuo Xiaoke's face changed slightly, and he said, "Then you're not afraid that if I say it, I will cause you irreparable losses?"
Wang Fan suddenly stepped on the brakes sharply, stopped the Lamborghini, and suddenly remembered that Zuo Xiaoke gave him a second, so he simply prepared to tease Zuo Xiaoke.
So, Wang Fan said coldly: "Indeed, I was careless. But now, for the sake of mortal technology, and for the sake of keeping your mouth shut, I've decided to do something necessary!"
