Chapter 654: Laboratory Skeleton
readx;
Zhang Ke did not mix in the middle-aged and elderly teams of Tao Jin, Li Yuanhu, Ge Jiande, Yi Yunfei, Luo Jun, and Xiao Mingjian to pick up Guo Songyan, Liu Zhicheng, Sun Shangyi and his party, he counted the time and planned to ride to the Oak Garden to pick up Tan Yunsong and his wife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tan Yunsong arrived in Jianye with four engineers he invited from Singapore, Malaysia and other places as a basic laboratory of microelectronics technology, all of whom are elites who have made achievements in the field of microelectronics technology research and development, and are also Chinese scientists and engineers to be recruited by Oak Park's "100 Talents Action" program.
Since Tan Yunsong has been appointed as the chief scientist of the Basic Laboratory of Microelectronics Technology, he must be entrusted with the power to form a scientific research team, as long as he is a candidate approved by Tan Yunsong, he only needs to take the form of hiring in Kumho and Oak Park. Of course, Tan Yunsong also fully consulted Kumho's opinions, especially Chen Xinsheng and Ding Huai, who have a deep understanding of the field of microelectronics technology research and development in Asia.
These people are the backbone of Kumho's technology research and development system in the future, and they need to support the skeleton of the Oak Park Project, and Zhang Ke will not hesitate to show any of them.
Time was a little shorter, and Tan Yunsong was given less than twenty days, but Tan Yunsong's extensive and deep connections in the field played a huge role, these four people are still the first batch of candidates, and there are seven or eight people who will have to wait for the work entrusted by their employers before the end of the year before they can come to Jianye to take up their jobs.
With Tan Yunsong and more than 10 senior R&D personnel recruited by Tan Yunsong from Southeast Asia, Kumho has also cultivated a group of technical backbones in recent years, and transferred a group of people to act as assistants to these senior R&D personnel. Each senior R&D staff is equipped with two assistants, and then two to four graduate students, which can almost support the framework of the microelectronics basic technology laboratory.
In two to three years, the technical team of the laboratory can initially mature.
The renovation project of the second entrepreneurial park of Oak Park has also come to an end; In order to distinguish the second Pioneer Park in the east that has been rebuilt to the end, insiders usually call this place Lifeng Garden, and the Pioneer Park in the east is called Yanshui Garden.
"Where is this going?" Zhang Ke asked Zhao Peng with his feet on the ground, and before Zhang Ke came over, he didn't greet them, and he came over with time.
"Teacher Tan said that he wanted to go to Yanshui Park to have a look first...... Zhao Peng ran over and picked up the bicycle that Zhang Ke stepped on, and he couldn't let Zhang Ke push the bicycle and follow them to Yanshui Garden.
The laboratories are all newly built buildings, and it is quite good to complete the main project before October, but it will take some time before it is actually completed and the infrastructure is installed. Although the approval of venture capital projects was increased in October, only eight projects were approved in October, and it will take a long time to fill up the Rich Fung Garden; After the completion of Yanshui Park, the preparatory office of Oak Park will be moved to the past, and the scientists and engineers recruited by Tan Yunsong and others will also work on this side of Yanshui Park first, and then move it out for subsequent start-ups to settle in after the basic laboratory is completed.
Tan Yunsong introduced Zhang Ke to the Chinese engineers who accompanied him to Jian Ye to participate in the Oak Park project, and said with a smile: "When I go back to Singapore, it is difficult for me to describe to them in words that Ke is a young man, but fortunately, Kumho has made this jaw-dropping action, and I don't need to explain anything." I also had a chance to meet Liu Zhicheng a few times, but I didn't expect you to come to Jianye...... Why didn't you see Ke Shao at the airport? ”
"What am I going to do with that fun?" Zhang Ke heard Tan Yunsong talk about the wafer factory project, and said with a smile, "Ding Huai should have come to receive you today, but he rushed to RB for me, but Su Jindong was able to come over before dinner." Why don't you go and rest in the place where you are arranged? ”
Ding Huai is the head of Kumho's entire technology R&D system.
"After sitting on the plane for five hours, if you want to move your legs and feet, let's go to Yanshui Garden first to have a look and understand the working environment first." Tan Yunsong said.
Zhang Ke didn't think others were too dedicated, so he accompanied Tan Yunsong and others to visit Yanshui Park, and also explained some details of the wafer factory project to Tan Yunsong on the way.
Liu Zhicheng's departure from TSMC to Jianye to be responsible for the preparation of the wafer factory is the most sensational news in the industry recently, in the current situation, there is a certain impact on several Asian wafer manufacturing companies, after all, there is another potential competitor, and some things do not need to be kept secret from everyone as top secrets.
"We plan to introduce a 0.35-micron wafer manufacturing process, but this 0.35-micron level integrated circuit design, except for Kumho has built some foundations in the past two years, there is almost a blank in China, I look forward to the laboratory can drive the relevant work, two or three years later, can train a group of high-level IC engineers to ......," Zhang Ke said to Tan Yun as he walked.
"I think Kumho's development in the next two or three years may feed this fab ......," Tan said.
Tan Yunsong expects that when Jianye's wafer factory is completed, the world's mainstream wafer factories will almost have to replace the process of 0.18 microns or even higher, and Jianye's wafer factory can meet the needs of Kumho's low-end consumer electronics products for chips, and the chips required for high-end products will still be entrusted to these companies in recent years, and it is undeniable that low-end consumer electronics products have huge market potential in emerging markets. This piece is precisely the main direction of Kumho in the next two or three years, even if Kumho launches two mobile phones, the volume is still the low-end i08 mobile phone.
Of course, Zhang Ke has not discussed with Tan Yunsong the possibility of supplying components to OEM mobile phone manufacturers, and these mobile phone components will also have a great demand for low-end integrated circuit chips.
It seems that the technology of 0.35 microns is not a low-end technology in 97 years.
0.35 micron level chip design, in the country is almost blank, if the domestic market does not have this level of chip design company, after the completion of the wafer factory, it will have to go to the international market to win customers, the competition will undoubtedly be very cruel.
Liu Zhicheng finally decided to come over to take charge of the fab project, and it was from the few small gifts that Sun Shangyi brought him when he arrived in Taiwan that he saw Kumho's true strength in technology and future market potential. Indeed, with just an eight-inch line, Kumho may be able to feed the fab in the next two or three years, and he will undoubtedly have a lot less pressure to come to Jianye to prepare for the fab project.
After the completion of the fab project, Kumho's vertical production system will have a prototype, and it will take a lot of effort to make this system plump.
Unlike the perfect technology market in Europe and the United States, the level of domestic electronic technology is too backward, if Kumho only focuses on making terminal products, almost all the components required for first-class products have to be purchased in the international market, and the tariff barriers and technical barriers between countries are almost no advantage in addition to desperately squeezing the labor force of workers and reducing human resource costs.
This is also a key factor in Kumho's need to build a well-established vertical production system on its own.
Zhang Ke also believes that with the passage of time, people will gradually realize that this vertical production system will shine more and more brightly in emerging markets.
Su Jindong arrived at Jianye by car at five o'clock in the afternoon to meet Tan Yunsong and others, and tomorrow Ge Jiande, deputy director of the Planning Commission, and his party will come to visit the Oak Garden, and a heavyweight will come forward to receive them, and Su Jindong will be left at home; Zhou You is not from the Aida Group system, and his appearance is a bit nondescript.
The youth apartment is seizing the time to renovate the four buildings in front of it, but when the renovation is over, it will not be a day or two of work. Zhang Ke asked people to charter an annex building of the Donghua Hotel on the west bank of Yangui Lake and arrange for Liu Zhicheng and his entourage to stay -- the preparatory office of the wafer factory was also placed in Yanshui Park, in short, Liu Zhicheng and the others had to accept the warm hospitality of the Planning Commission, provincial, municipal, and other government departments at this time; also arranged for Tan Yunsong and others to temporarily stay in Donghua Hotel, first invited Tan Yunsong and others to go to Donghua Hotel to rest, and dinner was arranged in Donghua Hotel.
On the way to Donghua Hotel, Su Jindong talked to Zhang Ke about his consideration of Kewang Hi-Tech's supply of mobile phone accessories, and said: "We can't expand production too much at once, which will have a greater impact on Kumho's entire management system." On the other hand, once we enter the mobile phone accessories supply market, it will have a considerable impact on foreign mobile phone assembly manufacturers. In the past two years, the tariff barriers of mobile phone accessories will provide us with a layer of protection, and the low cost of human resources is also our advantage, but once overseas mobile phone accessories manufacturers enter a large number of domestic factories, we will quickly resolve our two advantages, if during this time, we can not make up for the technical disadvantages, the later competition, but will fall into disadvantage. We want to make this process as long as possible and gain as much time as possible, after all, it will take a while for the Oak Park Project to work...... I think the price of Kewang Hi-Tech should be maintained at a relatively high level, and gradually enter the mobile phone accessories supply market in a planned way. ”
