Chapter 135: Spin-off Plan

Ye Kai sat in the office of the general manager of Fairchild, flipping through the internal information of Fairchild. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The internal information is very complicated, and the data is not good-looking, after all, if the data is very good-looking, it will not be Ye Kai's turn to sit here.

However, Ye Kai doesn't care about these ugly data, what he cares about is how many departments this company has? What are the businesses? Where did the company go? These are the most important things, because he will provide a reference direction for Ye Kai's plan.

Fairchild has wafer fabs in the United States, South Korea, and Singapore, as well as fabs, test and packaging fabs, as well as assembly and test fabs in Cebu, Philippines, and Penang, Malaysia. The most important lithography machine R&D team is inside the wafer factory, and these are the most important basic industries in the semiconductor industry.

Secondly, the chemical raw material factories required by the wafer factory are all set up overseas, that is, South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia, and there are dozens of large and small supporting factories. It's no wonder that Fairchild's finances are tight.

In addition, Fairchild also has its own CPU design department, but their CPUs are all developed for game consoles, and the demand is not very large. In addition to this, it also produces memory integrated circuits and some transistor-related power devices.

What surprised Ye Kai even more was that Fairchild was still engaged in the research and production of CCD cameras, this project was in 71 years, in order to find a project, Fairchild Company specially invited Gerry and Gami, one of the inventors of CCD, to join, and established a studio for them, and also produced some cameras, as the 'eyes' of the monitoring system.

After the birth of CCD at Bell Labs, several companies continued the invention and began to conduct further research, including well-known companies such as Express Semiconductor, American Radio Corporation, and Texas Instruments.

However, due to the complexity of the CCD technology production process, only Sony, Philips, Kodak, Panasonic, Fujifilm and Sharp 6 manufacturers can be mass-produced, and the most important suppliers should be Sony, Philips and Kodak, among them, in terms of the market share of each manufacturer, Sony has become the market leader with a market share of 50%. Since the development of CCD in the 70s, Sony has widely used it in professional cameras and other equipment such as video cameras and radio and television, and the current research and development level of Sony is still ahead of other companies.

Therefore, there are no products from Meiguo Company in the global market, but small and exquisite sun goods, and this time, Ye Kai decided to carry forward this technology in a separate company established by himself, not to mention competing with others, at least to be self-sufficient.

In addition, what interests Ye Kai the most is that there is also an artificial intelligence research and development team.

Speaking of artificial intelligence, the science popularization in the previous life was very powerful, even the aunts and uncles walking on the streets know what this thing is, and they are also very interested in this machine that can replace people to work, especially in the 21st century, children have gone out to work, leaving parents alone at home The elderly, especially yearning for such a can accompany themselves to chatter, add to the smell of the family's propaganda in the 'housekeeping robot' interested.

It's a pity that until Ye Kai crossed, such wishes were still wishes, and more existed in laboratories and scientific research institutions.

As far as Ye Kai knows, these so-called artificial intelligence are more used in factories, such as automobile assembly plants, steel industry, aircraft manufacturing and other intensive industries.

Of course, in the manufacturing industry, it is not called artificial intelligence, but automation, after all, it still requires people to intervene and guide them to work, and it is completely impossible to reach the point of autonomy.

However, this is also very good.

You must know that after the 80s, almost all large companies, their factories are equipped with automation equipment.

The automobile factories and wafer factories that Ye Kai is about to acquire will install automation equipment into manufacturing machinery in the future to replace the role of manpower in the tedious and dangerous processes.

The most important thing about automation equipment is that it needs a computer with a specially customized operating system, working software, parameter settings, as well as a variety of complex robotic arms and detection devices, so that the automation equipment can complete the processing and assembly work accurately, accurately and efficiently in the pre-set software.

The operating system, working software, and parameter settings need to be completed by artificial intelligence experts, so the computer does not have to worry at all, and its own computer company can provide the hardware of the industrialized computer for the factory.

Then, this time, I left Meiguo and went to Deguo, so I could take them all with me and participate in the reconstruction of the Aodi factory and the factory construction of the joint venture company, so as to accumulate rich work experience for future work.

You know, in the previous life, when the Fairchild company was acquired and sold, the artificial intelligence team was stripped away, and after the acquisition, this team also existed independently, and was not placed under the name of the Fairchild company, which shows that the company's acquisition of Fairchild also has another purpose, perhaps the intelligent team is their ultimate goal, after all, they are oil companies, and they are not involved in the industry and plans of the electronics industry, and the oil company is also the most in need of automation equipment.

Thinking of this, Ye Kai browsed the information of the Fairchild Company again, and at the same time thought about how to separate the Fairchild Company in his heart.

First of all, the CPU team will be spun off from Fairchild and joined Carey's chip company, and the F8 CPU they developed will continue to exist, and after modifying certain instruction set circuits and parameters, it will be used as a CPU in the automotive ECU. Therefore, the ordinary R&D personnel of this team will belong to Kailuo's chip company, and the core members will also be brought to Germany by Ye Kai and enter Ye Kai's industrial company.

The memory integrated circuit team will also be assigned to the chip company to better cooperate with the CPU research and development of the chip company.

The CCD team will form a new company to develop CCD-based camera equipment and broadcasting equipment.

Transistor power devices will also be brought by Ye Kai to industrial companies in Germany, responsible for designing power devices that drive various mechanical components for ECU circuits.

As for the wafer factory, it is even simpler, directly independent, and specially manufactures chips and components for Ye Kai's own chip companies, industrial companies, etc.

At the same time, the most important CPU production line, Ye Kai will not be placed in Meiguo, but will be transferred overseas, and the same is true for the research and development of lithography machines. The remaining wafer and rod factories will also be established overseas, and the wafer factories in Meiguo will only produce power devices and some memory integrated circuits, as well as corresponding testing and packaging factories.
