Chapter 191: Visiting the Wafer Fab (First Update)
After a morning in the room, Yang Lin seemed to see the infinite possibilities of the future, and his mood became unprecedentedly happy.
When he went to the hotel restaurant with Bai Hua to eat at noon, he was still smirking vigorously, which made Bai Hua shake his hand in front of his eyes again and again, and muttered: "Boss, what are you smirking at?" Everyone else is looking at you! ”
"Who? Who's watching me? ”
Yang Lin came back to his senses, turned his head and looked around, the place where he and Bai Hua ate was in the VIP room of the hotel, how could there be any other people.
"Hahaha, boss, you're so funny! I'm laughing to death! ”
Bai Hua, who was sitting across from him, was already leaning back with laughter, and the juice in his mouth almost squirted out.
Yang Lin reacted at this time, got up and picked up a fork and forked a large piece of tender beef into Bai Hua's mouth, while saying: "Okay, you little white, you dare to laugh at the boss, see if I don't block your mouth!" ”
"Oops, boss, you...... Hmmm......"
Before Bai Hua could finish speaking, he was blocked by the beef mouth.
Yang Lin laughed and said: "Don't spit it out, punish you to eat all this piece of meat, don't talk if you don't finish eating!" Otherwise, the bonus will be deducted this month! ”
Bai Hua blinked, chewed the whole piece of meat pitifully and swallowed it, and then hurriedly poured a large mouthful of juice, then patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Boss, do you know that I am losing weight and can't eat meat!" After eating such a large piece at noon, I can't eat dinner! ”
Yang Lin said nonchalantly while eating: "You are in such a good figure, what kind of weight do you lose!" ”
Bai Huaqiao's face flushed, and she was inexplicably happy in her heart. smiled and said: "What does it matter to you when people lose weight!" ”
Yang Lin raised his head and looked Bai Hua up and down, and Bai Hua was blushing at his sight. He said, "What do you think I'm doing? ”
Yang Lin shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that such a good cabbage, I don't know which pig will be arched!" ”
"you! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! ”
The white birch gave a white look at the poplar forest. Indignant.
Yang Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you, Xiaobai, what are the arrangements for today?" ”
Bai Hua wrenched his finger and said: "At three o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Ma Yun of the Forty Thieves Company will come to visit, and Mr. Lu Hongguang, CEO of SMIC, will have dinner in the evening, and tomorrow I will go to Yizhuang SMIC to visit the No. 1 production line of Juxin, and the day after tomorrow CCTV's "Face to Face" column ......"
"Stop, Stop, Stop......"
Yang Lin stopped Bai Hua from continuing to apportionment in a timely manner, rubbed his temples with a bit of a headache and said, "It's a lot better!" If I knew earlier, I would have come to the capital later! ”
Bai Hua rolled his eyes and said, "My big boss." These are all unavoidable entertainment, but I've already helped you push off 90 percent, otherwise it's more! ”
Yang Lin said: "Okay, okay, eat first, finish eating and work, the proposal has not been revised yet!" ”
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Lin met Ma Yun in the hotel where he was staying.
Although Matrix Digital has nothing to do with Ali in business, Ma Yun came to the door, and it was impossible for Yang Lin not to see him.
This is the first person on this year's Forbes China Rich List. Between the rise of Yang Lin, he was one of the self-made figures in China's Internet industry.
And with Alibaba's upcoming IPO in New York, Ma Yun's personal assets may even double again.
As reported in the media, Ma Yun is very talkative. Although Yang Lin is nearly twice as old, there is not much gap between the two of them.
However, Yang Lin and Ma Yun are only tentatively contacting at the moment, and the two sides have reached a more symbolic agreement. Matrix Electronics will open a flagship store in Alibaba's Tianmeow Mall, specializing in selling products launched by Matrix Electronics.
The rest of the cooperation is gone. However, Ma Yun asked Yang Lin with interest if he wanted to buy a football team to play, but Yang Lin just smiled and chose to decline.
We chatted for almost an hour. Ma Yun took his leave and left.
In the evening, Yang Lin met SMIC CEO Lu Hongguang.
As the world's third largest chip foundry, Matrix Semiconductor and SMIC have had a good cooperation on Moment Core No. 1, and both are relatively satisfied with each other.
Especially with the promotion of the Mix instruction set, Matrix Semiconductor's advantages in the microstructure and compiler of Mix chips are almost unshakable, and it has the potential to grow into a mobile chip giant.
Therefore, Yang Lin and Lu Hongguang's meeting this time is mainly to consolidate the future cooperation between the two sides.
Especially for Lu Hongguang, as long as he can catch the giant ship of matrix semiconductors, he will hardly have to worry about SMIC's profits in the future, which is naturally of great significance.
Although Matrix Semiconductor has started to build its own chip factory, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with SMIC under the prospect of continuous expansion of production capacity in the future.
The next day, Yang Lin, accompanied by Lu Hongguang, visited SMIC's 300mm wafer factory in Yizhuang, Beijing.
This is also the first time Yang Lin has visited this kind of precision machining workshop, the overall structure of the factory is four floors, the most critical clean room for manufacturing semiconductor products is located on the third floor, the pressurized ceiling forms a top-down airflow, and the equipment maintenance work is completed on the "SubFab" layer on the second floor.
Before entering the factory, it is also necessary to enter the clean room and pack it around, because any dust particles can have a fatal impact on the quality of the wafer.
Nearly all of the manufacturing process in the fab is automated, so most of the workers in the fab are responsible for keeping these devices up and running, calibrating lithography time, and monitoring defects in real time.
Yang Lin and Lu Hongguang entered the workshop accompanied by the person in charge of the factory, and the factory staff on the side were responsible for explaining: "
Mr. Yang, you see, the automated transport system (AMHS) at the top of the workshop transports wafers between various manufacturing stages at a speed of 13 kilometers per hour, 24 hours a day. Each vehicle is loaded with a FOUP (Open Blade Box) that can be loaded with up to 25 300mm wafers. Moreover, all holes are drilled on the ground in the factory to ensure that the air circulates from top to bottom, and the dust may be minimized. The FOUP cassette is attached to a manufacturing stage machine, and the one behind it is being hoisted by AMHS......"
Subsequently, Yang Lin visited the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) workshop and lithography workshop with great interest.
In the lithography workshop, even the lighting is limited, and all work is carried out in the dim light.
Yang Lin saw with his own eyes how the laser shrinks the mask onto the wafer, and he truly understands the whole process of wafer manufacturing.
The only pity is that these deep ultraviolet invasive lithography machines are all products of ASML in the Netherlands and Nikon in Japan, and there is no domestic one that can replace them. (To be continued......)
