"Since its establishment, Fanhan Group has been committed to opening up the world's advanced electronic industry chain. From China's first 200mm monocrystalline silicon to the first 0.5 and 0.35 micron chip production lines. ”

"Today, with the unremitting efforts of Panhan Group, we have finally completed the manufacture of the world's most advanced commercial lithography machine! The first 0.25 micron process lithography machine supplied to Intel in the United States will officially roll off the production line today! This marks that the most important front-end technology of China's chip manufacturing has finally come to the forefront of the world from this moment......"

Steve pouted disdainfully as he listened to the speech relayed by the translator next to him.

James followed Steve to China this time, and when he saw his boss's expression, he couldn't wait to start giving Panhan Group eye medicine.

"The Chinese think too highly of themselves, and the little achievements made by Tongguò in a technological speculation can't wait to be announced." Wait three or five years and see if they are still at the same level. ”

There is an intelligence mistake here, Zhou Shuo thought that Asmarc's inside line at Intel was Steve, but in fact James was really Asmarc's person. This time he came to Fanhan Group for acceptance, and he was constantly pushing Steve to put forward some excessive requirements.

Of course, it is rude to stand in the position of Pan Han Group, but Steve does not necessarily think it is too much.

The fact that a Chinese company supplies lithography machines to Intel is already a bizarre thing in itself. It's just some shit luck guys, who really think they can be on an equal footing with the world's top companies? Joke.

Don't forget that this is 1996, which is the era of cooking oil in the United States. As the top high-tech enterprise in the United States. Intel theoretically does have the ability to ignore the rules.

On the rostrum, Zhou Shuo finished his opening speech. Next, the moderator began to invite leaders and representatives from all walks of life to the stage. Hu Lao of the Ministry of Electronics Industry was the first to be invited, and there was no doubt that he was the oldest one with the most qualifications. Although the level of Secretary Tang in the province is the same as his. But there is no one who has the right professional counterpart.

Hu Lao and Song Lao said a few words on the stage, and then consciously stood aside. Today's protagonist can only be the Pan Han Group, the 0.25 micron lithography machine that has not yet come out.

With these two as role models, the subsequent leaders also consciously reduced the time for speaking. As a result, more than a dozen leaders and deputies spoke in an unprecedented only one hour! To put it mildly, such a phenomenon is more like a miracle than China's ability to produce lithography machines.

"Okay, now I invite Mr. Zhou Shuo, chairman of Fanhan Group, to close the last process of our first domestic 0.25 micron lithography machine!"

After a few words of enthusiasm, the host warmed up the atmosphere. Finally, Zhou Shuo was invited out again and asked to stand in front of a red button.

The huge red round button was placed on a display table, surrounded by flowers and ribbons, Zhou Shuo had just stood still, and the sound of a flash and shutter sounded, which almost blinded the eyes of everyone on the stage.

Before Panhan acquired Nikon's lithography machine line, few people understood what a lithography machine actually did. What is a lithography machine for the average person? Why are high-tech electronics high-tech? We don't care, we just need to use what we have anyway.

But this does not mean that China does not pay attention to lithography machines at all. But knowing that there is no hope, he naturally has an indifferent attitude. When Fanhan Group became the owner of Huajing, the chip process technology directly crossed 0.8 microns and achieved the level of 0.5 microns. Even further, it is possible to produce chips in the 0.35 micron range in small batches.

With this achievement, domestic newspapers, media and propaganda outlets. Only then did I have the confidence to tell ordinary people about this lithography machine. What is this 0.35 micron process and where exactly does the chip come from?

Our own stuff. There is also confidence in publicity, isn't it! For this kind of technology, which is at the top of the world's industry, it is really too good to boost the morale of Chinese. For those who have just experienced the nest sac. The sea crisis, for the Chinese who have experienced the Galaxy incident, it is too necessary to give a shot in the arm for national pride!

The chip process technology that began to be promoted last year has begun to popularize the lithography machine technology this year. I dare not say that ordinary people know about these things, but at least professionals, industry insiders, ordinary practitioners, enthusiasts, these people related to electronic technology, the reputation of Fanhan Group has quietly resounded.

Practical newspapers and magazines, such as computer newspapers, computer enthusiasts, and computer application digests, also spend a lot of space to report news related to Pan Han Group.

Even Popular Software magazine, which was preparing for its first issue, urgently dispatched reporters to set aside a large page to report on the news of the supply of Intel lithography machines by the Pan Han Group.

Zhou Shuo's hand was already on the big red button, of course, this was just a ceremony, in fact, the finished product of the lithography machine had already been assembled. When he presses this button, the lithography machine placed on the production line will be moved to the inspection workshop by the conveyor qì person.

However, human feelings always have to be taken care of, and propaganda and rituals are useless, but in fact, they really don't have much meaning. But if it is useful, it is indeed indispensable for the operation of human society.

“5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1！ ”

As the slow countdown ended, Zhou Shuo pressed the red button in his hand hard. In the display screen behind it, a machine full of sci-fi colors appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Steve, Vice President of Intel Corporation of the United States, and the members of the acceptance delegation to conduct a quality inspection of the first lithography machine delivered by Panhan Group!"

The bilingual welcome speech was said twice, and Steve glanced back at James, nodded and said, "Okay, let's see what these Chinese have to brag about." ”

Intel's acceptance team, led by the staff, entered the testing workshop in turn. The entire production hall of the lithography machine is the highest level of clean room, and the inspection workshop is no exception. Steve and his men walked inside, dressed in full dust-free suits and carrying ventilators on their waists.

Outside the workshop, in the display screen on the rostrum, they also appeared at the same time. A slightly electronic noise came out of the stereo, and it turned out to be a real-time broadcast of Intel's acceptance process.

"Xiao Zhou, it's a bit risky to do this, right?" Hu Lao was a little worried beside Zhou Shuo, frowned and whispered: "If there is any problem during the test, this will have a big impact......

"Don't worry, I have confidence in our products." Zhou Shuo smiled faintly and looked confidently at the big screen of the broadcast.

On the screen, Intel's acceptance team has already started its work. Seeing them methodically surrounding the lithography machine and unfolding various equipment to test the lithography machine, Zhou Shuo couldn't help but quietly clench his fists.

He said he didn't care, but how could he not be worried? No matter how confident you are in your own products, nervousness is inevitable.

This is a contract involving $1 billion, and Intel's recognition is even more positive for the domestic market, no matter what, Zhou Shuo can't take it lightly.

As the minutes ticked by, it was clear on the big screen that the various test numbers were gathering in Steve's hands. Their dust suits are equipped with wireless communication equipment, and the sound of conversation is constantly coming out.

Ma Yougong, as the general manager of Panhan Optical Manufacturing, appeared at the scene as the person in charge of Party A at this time. Whenever Steve raised an objection, he was responsible for explaining.

"Steve, I think you should look at this number." James frowned and walked over with a stack of forms in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Steve didn't pay much attention to it, after all, this is a new generation of devices, and it is normal for some new devices to be different from the previous generation.

"The self-damping six-degree-of-freedom workpiece table of this lithography machine, and the nonlinear decoupling control reading of multi-dimensional damping damping, I think may not meet the design requirements."

James handed the form in his hand to Steve's and pointed to the number of lines on it. The self-damping table is the main equipment used to undertake silicon wafers, and its balance and stability requirements are very high. Six degrees of freedom means that it has six dimensions of adjustment and balance, and each additional dimension increases the difficulty of mechanical equipment by one level.

"I'll see." Steve took the form and looked at it with a frown. The self-damping sixth-degree workbench is half of the core technology of the lithography machine, and the requirements for the level of mechanical manufacturing are very high. Whether the Chinese can really do such a good job of such equipment when they are new to learning, he actually put a question mark in his heart early on.

Preconceived notions are often the beginning of prejudice. Although Steve didn't really mean to find fault, he unconsciously developed prejudice.

This kind of delicate mechanical structure should be impossible for the Chinese to master. In fact, the Americans themselves have done this technology, but it has never been as accurate as the equipment of the Japanese. But the technical principles are all those things, and the final accuracy of the same design is different, so it can only be said that there is some kind of trick that has not been left behind by the Japanese that has been mastered by the Japanese, right?

"Mr. Ma, can you explain the problem of this number jù? If I'm not mistaken, your device has 10% fewer readings than the previous generation Japanese Nikon device. ”

Steve's words were transmitted through the microphone on his body to the stereo outside, and the faces of almost everyone in the room suddenly became gloomy...... (To be continued......)
