Chapter 128: Lithography Machine
Wang Fan was rarely busy, holding his mobile phone, admiring Lin Lin's daily welfare.
Since the beginning of the large-scale project, the reputation of mortal technology has been heard, but life can no longer be peaceful.
Every day, the media come to the door, apply for interviews, and there are small officials, who come here to pretend to be X.
In this regard, Wang Fan directly blasted away.
Especially those petty officials, who put aside their business and don't do anything, come here to find a sense of existence.
Wang Fan was very disgusted by this kind of corpse vegetarian meal.
Maybe before, mortal technology was good enough to give them some face, but now, there is no need to think about it at all.
Officials and businessmen, officials are in front of business, but they are also relative.
With the current status of mortal technology, no matter which city you settle in, you will be warmly welcomed and all kinds of discounts.
And how can those petty officials point fingers?
As for those older officials, they will not be so boring, nor will they be so reckless.
What's more, there are a lot of doorways inside, which involves the problem of standing in line, Wang Fan is too lazy to take care of it, it is better to appreciate the exclusive benefits given by Lin Lin.
Lin Lin's dance is even more vigorous, with a weak and boneless figure and sexy outfits, the picture is not too beautiful.
Wang Fan was admiring it with relish, when suddenly the phone rang.
"The chairman of the board of directors and the president of Intel Huaxia came to visit. ”
"Take them to the conference room. Wang Fan couldn't help frowning.
It's not good, it must be for the CDMA technology.
Intel's group of nearly ten people is obviously an all-round team, intending to reach an agreement directly and complete the signing immediately.
After the greetings, Wang Fan and Lu Kaicheng, president of Intel Huaxia, sat opposite each other.
"Wang Dong is fast enough, but it's a little rude to snatch love with a knife, right?" Lu Kaicheng asked, still holding back his anger in his heart.
For this matter, the whole Intel is very uncomfortable.
After a year of hard work, the negotiation was almost over, and the contract was finally signed, but it was cut off by others! It is also a new small enterprise in China!
Wang Fan smiled and teased: "In the business field, you and I are willing, no matter what politeness or impoliteness, both parties are suitable." You Intel have a lot of money, and it's not easy to get CDMA, and if you directly acquire the high tube, then it's over. At that time, across PCs and mobile phones, the entire semiconductor industry was dominated by you!"
Lu Kaicheng's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Wang Dong said that he was laughing, and we can buy it, but if Wang Dong is interested, mortal technology, we ......"
"Stop!" Wang Fan interrupted him: "If you have something to say, don't mention those useless dream words." ”
Lu Kaicheng's face was a little unbearable, and he straightened his clothes and said: "We are here for CDMA technology." ”
"Yes, be specific. ”
"Intel has a leading process, as well as a top wafer factory, a dominant company in the field of PC chips, and is about to vigorously enter the mobile phone market. There is only one CDMA technology missing, and I hope that Wang Dong will be perfect. Of course, the price code is absolutely sufficient, and Wang Dong wants to make a mobile phone, but he is not happy with Gao Tube and Four-Star, so it is better to cooperate with us to fight against Gao Tube, Four-Star, and TSMC. Lu Kaicheng said with a smile.
Wang Fan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Intel to have so many enemies.
It is no wonder that Intel not only has the world's leading process fab, but also has excellent chip design capabilities, and is a well-deserved leader in the field of PC chips.
Once you enter the mobile phone chip market, whether it is TSMC or four-star or high-tube, you will be extremely afraid.
Wang Fan said: "CDMA authorization is possible, but sale is impossible. Cooperation is also possible, it depends on your sincerity. ”
Although it can't be purchased directly, if it is enough to get a few years of authorization, Lu Kaicheng said: "What Wang Dong needs, he will do his best to meet." ”
"NXE: A 3350BEUV lithography machine, CDMA technology will give you a 7-year license!" Wang Fan said.
In order to completely get rid of restrictions and develop independently, a wafer factory that mass-produces chips is indispensable. The most important thing in the fab is the lithography machine and etching machine.
Wang Fan did some investigation, although Huaxia started late, was more restricted, and was relatively backward, but the relevant industrial chain was complete.
In many areas, it has reached a certain level.
For example, the etching machine of Modu Semiconductor can process chips of 14nm and above, and the etching machine of North Microelectronics has already achieved 28nm and is testing 20nm.
But there is still one field that is very backward, and it is the most important and complex lithography machine!
This year, Huaxia's 65nm lithography function has achieved industrialization has been good, and the current international advanced ones have reached 14nm, or even 10nm, which is too far and too far.
The lithography machine is most advanced in the Netherlands' ASML, followed by Nikon and Canon in the island countries.
But with the continuous development, Canon took the lead and basically abandoned high-end lithography machines.
And Nikon, with the support of the Mitsui chaebol, still persists, but life is not good, its share continues to decline, and it can't make ends meet.
Only the ASML family is the only one who dominates the game.
The three semiconductor giants Intel, Four-Star, and TSMC have monopolized the world's most cutting-edge process technology, and all of them have invested in ASML.
So ASML not only has money, but also a market.
As a result, more than 70% of the profits of the global chip industry chain are controlled by ASML, Intel, Four-Star, and TSMC.
Even ARM is nothing more than a small thing in front of them.
Therefore, Wang Fan's lithography machine can only rely on them.
Lu Kaicheng smiled, and he smiled helplessly: "Wang Dong, don't be joking. The lithography machine is still the most advanced, and this belongs to the strict blockade and embargo! It can't even be re-sold!"
Wang Fan shook his head: "Of course I know this, otherwise what else do you need to do? Intel, as one of the major shareholders of ASML, will definitely have a way to do it, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it." ”
Lu Kaicheng was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
Rules are dead, people are alive, and if the interests are big enough, anything can be done. As for the rules, they are just excuses.
But this issue is very sensitive, and it is not at all for him to decide.
"I don't embarrass you. Wang Fan said: "You can't do this master, so you go back and wait for the headquarters to reply." This is the only condition, if they don't agree, the CDMA patent authorization will go to Gao Tube to ask for it!"
How is it possible?
The high-barrel anti-Intel is like an anti-wolf, and they want to keep it out, so how can they authorize CDMA and let Intel grab their market?
Lu Kaicheng wanted to say more, but was ruthlessly sent out by Wang Fan.
In the empty conference room, Wang Fan sighed alone.
Without a lithography machine, everything is in vain, and you can only be controlled by others.
But the lithography machine is too difficult, especially the advanced, and the blockade of Europe and the United States is too strict.
As for doing it yourself, even if you use black technology, it is very difficult, and this kind of ultra-high precision instrument needs a series of other industries as a foundation.
It's not like you have a drawing, you can find a few people, and you can do it. Otherwise, Huaxia would not be so backward, even if ZF strongly supports it.
Even ASML, the overlord of lithography machines, is a joint support of several giants, which has led to today's situation.
And some key components are even more dependent on other companies. For example, optical lenses from Germany.
Just as Wang Fan sighed, someone came in to report that someone from the tall tube was coming!
Wang Fan couldn't help but shake his head, what's wrong today?
