As one of the world's high-end industries, semiconductor factories need not only advanced technology, but also a lot of talent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Making hundreds of millions of semiconductor circuits on chips the size of a small fingernail requires ultra-high technology, which is no easier than aerospace engineering.

Making things super big and super small is challenging the limits of human industry.

Intel alone has tens of thousands of people in the semiconductor technology research and development department, 80% of which are with doctoral titles, and if you are just a graduate student, you will not even have the opportunity to go in and take out the garbage. If the average monthly salary of this R&D department is about $10,000, that is to say, Intel's R&D department has to pay $100 million every month if it doesn't do anything!

In fact, it is normal for people in this high-tech profession to earn $30,000 or 50,000 a month, and $10,000 is just the salary of those who do miscellaneous work.

Most of the company's R&D costs are eaten up by these people! Intel raises such a large group of people, the pressure is huge, but this is a happy pressure, is the embodiment of Intel's strength, in the flower family is afraid that the country will be empty and can not find so many semiconductor research and development talents, even if there is no one who has that kind of technology accumulation.

Intel is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor chips, especially CPUs! The company's strategic partnership with Gaisce's Microsoft has almost reached the point of monopolizing global hardware and software.

However, Chen Xu doesn't plan to do this, he wants to let the Panda Group do both hardware and software, and in terms of software, the Panda system has actually monopolized the world's personal computer desktop, and there is no company that can do such a smooth system, even if it is an Apple computer, and after it is born, there will be no company that can compete with it.

At the same time, Panda 3.0 appeared in front of everyone together, as well as Panda Electronics' personal computer beyond the era, powerful hardware configuration, beautiful flat LCD screen, low price, I believe it is easy to dominate the global hardware market, and Silicon Valley has no power to fight back!

The investment in semiconductor factories is huge, and Intel and Samsung Semiconductors are still insisting on the design, production, and sales of a one-stop semiconductor industry chain.

And Chen Xu not only wants to eat semiconductor manufacturing, but also has to monopolize the upstream and swallow the semiconductor equipment industry in one bite! In Xiangping High-tech Development Zone, we will establish the world's most complete semiconductor industry system, from lithography machines, etching machines, monocrystalline furnaces, packaging equipment, to central processing units, hard disks, graphics cards, displays, etc., all of which are world-class.

This is also the reason why Chen Xu wants to establish Xiangping Semiconductor under Panda Electronics.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Chinese, there will always be only a distinction between foreign countries and China, and in the industrial system of dozens of Western countries, if there is any scientific and technological product that the flower grower does not have, then the flower grower is lagging behind the world!

Even if the sales of this technology product are low in the world, as long as one company does it, it can meet the global market demand. But the Chinese just don't do it, they have to make the same product in China, and sell it at low prices all over the world, and the final result will definitely be a lose-lose situation, the foreign company was forced to go bankrupt by us, the boss swallowed a gun and committed suicide, and the flower grower laughed and ate this small cake smaller than a mosquito's leg, and the annual turnover may only be several hundred million, which is not enough to pay wages.

Although this is a bit vexatious, it also shows that the mentality of the Chinese to fight against the world's Celestial Empire has never changed.

Chen Xu wants to make a full set of semiconductor equipment, so he naturally has to sell the equipment, and if he smashes the loss in his hand, he won't even recognize his mother. The Dutch ASML spent 30 years and nearly 10 billion euros in R&D funds just to make a extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, and it is conceivable that if you want to study all the semiconductor equipment in the entire semiconductor industry chain, what a terrible number of R&D funds are needed, and Chen Xu can't bear it no matter how rich he is!

The huge scale of Panda Electronics can naturally digest part of the production capacity, but it will definitely not make money from self-production and self-sales.

Only by building an industrial chain of R&D, production and sales, becoming an international semiconductor equipment supplier like ASML in the Netherlands, and becoming a supplier of global semiconductor factories, can Xiangping Semiconductor finally survive in the fiercely competitive semiconductor industry.

By monopolizing the world's semiconductor equipment, the Dutch ASML and Nikon semiconductor departments and other semiconductor equipment factories were all destroyed, and then Xiangping Semiconductor ate alone, that is called real comfort, which can no longer be called counting money to hand cramps, but let the central bank expand the treasury tenfold to help the company put money.

Believe me, if Xiangping Semiconductor can really monopolize the global semiconductor equipment and semiconductor manufacturing industry, this company will definitely be richer than the central bank, maybe you have to build a bank to lend out the money, and spend money desperately.

However, Xiangping Semiconductor is still just an empty shelf, and the talents and technologies needed have to be imported from abroad, and Chen Xu can't take out so much money for a while, after all, semiconductor equipment needs more precise optical processing machines and high-precision machine tools, so he can only set up the shelf first and organize people to pull up the team of the R&D department first.

If you want to reach the level of the industry monopolist that Chen Xu envisioned, it will take at least ten years of development, and it will take a long time......

The reason why the county R&D department is because the machinery and equipment can be bought from the market at this stage, and when these machines are in place, they can start production immediately.

In short, people can wait for machines, but they can't let machines wait for people!

As for the technology of making semiconductor equipment, it is all provided by IBM, Chen Xu took the most advanced semiconductor technology and petascale supercomputers to IBM in exchange for 52 billion US dollars, and at the same time, he also reached a strategic cooperation agreement with IBM, all the advanced semiconductor equipment developed by IBM must be supplied to the flower planter, and at the same time, the chip design technology will also be sent to the Panda Group.

Most of the design drawings of petaflop supercomputers and those advanced semiconductor technologies are still in the hands of Chen Xu, and IBM will only hand over the follow-up drawings after establishing a relatively equal semiconductor industry for China and training a sufficient number of engineers.

In short, this is a reciprocal exchange of technology, and no one owes anyone.

Besides, Chen Xu will not raise tigers to make trouble, and let the United States control the upstream industry of the semiconductor industry, so that the future fate of Panda Electronics Group will be in the hands of the Americans.

If one day Americans stop selling equipment, Panda Group's semiconductor-related electronics businesses will be in the rhythm of bankruptcy.

Therefore, if you want to be independent, you must be able to produce all the semiconductor equipment by yourself and establish a complete semiconductor industrial production system.

At present, the relationship between China and Western countries is like honey blending, and everything can be bought with money, so it is not too difficult to set up a semiconductor equipment factory at all, as long as you have money in hand.

Now the international market is that IBM in the United States is investing money in the most advanced semiconductor equipment after receiving Chen Xu's technical support, and Panda Group, as a technology provider, is also directly involved in research and development.

Panda Electronics now basically has the manufacturing capacity of silicon chips, and secondly, it has a 90-nanometer semiconductor central processing unit chip production line.

Including the assembly of the equipment on this production line, as well as the circuit diagram design of the central processing unit chip, IBM is all responsible for it, and the technicians of Panda Electronics are just working on the side and learning the technology from the teacher.

Chen Xu also has no choice, he can only use this method of master and apprentice, so that IBM can lead Panda Electronics to grow up step by step.

Subject to the domestic semiconductor industry, which is almost zero now, everything is imported, even the most basic sand is melted into silicon crystals, even the sand has to be imported from abroad, and then look at the melting into large pieces of crystalline silicon, and then cut into pieces of round silicon wafers, which is the foundation of the semiconductor industry foundation.

Because of its simplicity, it is also the earliest semiconductor technology mastered by Panda Electronics, as a material supplier for all semiconductor parts of Panda Electronics in the future.

Under the leadership of Secretary Ding, Chen Xu briefly walked around the factory, which can be regarded as the first semiconductor factory under his own hands.

It's just that a single chip production line is very monotonous, but this is an excellent start, the master leads the door to practice by himself, and the group will slowly introduce more production lines to manufacture other semiconductor equipment.

Opposite this wafer manufacturing plant is the chip production line, because the silicon wafer transportation process is very squeamish, and the slightest bump is easy to damage the product, so basically the silicon wafer of the product off the assembly line will be directly sent to the chip production line for processing.

After the mid-to-late eighties, the boom in global digital consumption, the rise of personal computers, personal communication devices, DVDs, game consoles, cameras, and so on, created a profit point for the semiconductor industry.

Not to mention the global business of audio processing chips for CD players, it is enough to feed several such semiconductor manufacturers.

It can be said that Chen Xu is in the era of crazy growth of the semiconductor industry, if you don't grasp this opportunity well, and when you come back to develop in the future, the global market will be developed by Western countries, and it is already difficult to squeeze in.

Moreover, semiconductor technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, and these companies are getting bigger and bigger, and they have reached a posture of being too big to fail, that is to say, unless this industry disappears, these monopoly semiconductor companies will continue to survive and enjoy the profits brought by the monopoly continuously.
