Ma Yougong's brows furrowed deeply, and he said in disbelief: "This is impossible! ”

There is quality inspection at every step of the lithography machine assembly process, and there will be subsystem self-inspection after the system is assembled, and there will be a whole system inspection until it leaves the factory.

Such high-precision, high-tech equipment is to control the error from the most basic link to the smallest range. And it is impossible for the Pan Han Group to be so big, really waiting for the people from Intel to do the final inspection.

In fact, today's processes should have been just a performance, Hu Lao was worried that the process of live broadcast detection was risky, how could Zhou Shuo not know? However, before Intel's human testing, the engineers of Panhan Optics had already carried out the most detailed and comprehensive inspection of this lithography machine.

The whole system fully meets the requirements of signing a contract with Intel, which is the confidence of Zhou Shuo to dare to broadcast the detection process live.

He also believed that with such a strict matter, the people below would never dare to fool themselves. Since the previous detection has shown that there is no problem, there is no reason for Intel people to detect the problem.

This is also the reason why Ma Yougong was so surprised and shouted "This is impossible". He was responsible for the last inspection, and he supervised his subordinates to obtain detailed counts one by one.

The reading of the control zhì of the six-degree workbench is the key number jù, and the value measured before is still fresh in his memory, and it is by no means the number jù that is 10% less in front of him!

"Mr. Steve, it's impossible for our lithography machine to have this problem......"

Steve's eyes stood and he glared, "So, Mr. Ma thinks my subordinates are lying?" ”

"Nope. This ......"

Ma Yougong froze, he was just a scientist. Count up to half a manager. Dealing with this kind of unexpected event is certainly not his strong point.

But he still firmly believed. The lithography machine produced by itself has absolutely no problem in terms of performance!

"I thought, maybe some kind of misunderstanding. Maybe it's a mistake in the testing equipment, or the operation process is not standardized......" Ma Yougong tried his best to defend it.

However, Steve didn't think so, and was very dissatisfied with Ma Yougong's attitude. Chinese really can't afford to fail, obviously there is a problem with the product, but they have to find the reason from other places.

Thinking like this, some of the original good feelings for Ma Yougong are gone. He said impatiently: "This is not possible, the test equipment is precisely tuned." As for the operating specifications, will we Intel not even be able to do these little things? James, come and see! ”

James smiled in his heart, but his face was silent, and he nodded sternly: "Steve, this is Chiguoguo's slander!" The inspection process of the six-degree workbench is accurately regulated, and I certainly can't make a mistake. First of all, the detection of the six-degree workbench is divided into two parts, namely hardware detection and software testing......"

James was there to talk eloquently, showing how well he knew the workbench of the sixth. This thing is really a very sophisticated mechanical device. Complex circuit control, photo-inductive displacement measurement, instantaneous positioning compensation, and new material ceramic brakes, spherical flexible hinges and three sets of drive units are also involved.

The six-degree work platform allows the lithography machine to work with minimal vibration transmitted to the wafer. Lithography machines that work at sub-micron scales, even the voice of a human speaker. can make it produce unacceptable errors.

It is precisely by relying on the role of the six-degree-of-freedom precision positioning table that the lithography machine can work smoothly. Nikon's production line uses technology that compensates even for nanoscale vibrations. However, if the efficiency of the control system is reduced by 10%. That would mean that the yield of chips produced by this lithography machine will drop by at least 10%. Or even more.

This alone is equivalent to a death sentence for the 0.25 micron lithography machine manufactured by Pan Han Optics.

Of course, Ma Yougong can't let James unscrupulously attack the reliability of his own products. Blushing and arguing.

However, when James took out the testing equipment and recalled the measurement results, Ma Yougong suddenly fell into a situation where he had nothing to say.

If there are no problems with the product, there will be no errors in the measurement results. Technology is the most realistic, but the number is the most objective proof.

"What, nothing more?" James was a little complacent and said with a smile: "You Chinese products are actually quite good, and you can get the production line up and running in such a short time." Although there are some minor flaws, they are still worth affirming! Well, although I didn't pass this test, is there a chance for the next time? ”

James actually patted Ma Yougong on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, what should I do? Otherwise, I'll have someone arrange to send the leaders and the media away first? ”

Outside the testing workshop, on the rostrum of the factory, Dongfang Ke didn't know when he stood by Zhou Shuo's side. He doesn't know much about technology, but as James said, although some problems were detected, they were found and solved. It's only a week or two at most, and it's been delayed for a month or two, do you still care about this last worship?

Hu Lao, who had been standing next to him, also nodded quietly when he heard this: "Yes, it's normal for something to have an accident with such a high-tech device." Don't worry, I'll solve the official problem for you. ”

Although the Panhan Group has lost some of its chains this time, Hu Lao still decided to maintain it. Maybe the Americans are more demanding, or they really don't have a good grasp of the technology. But it doesn't matter, as long as there is progress. Anyway, China's electronics industry will not be worse, even if the yield rate is 10% lower, compared with the original, how can it not be a huge progress?

It's just that Zhou Shuo is still young after all, and he is a little unreliable in doing things. As the minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, he still has the courage to shelter the younger generations.

"Nope."

To the surprise of Dongfang Ke and Hu Lao, Zhou Shuo actually rejected the two of them. Shaking his head firmly, he said: "I believe in our engineers, since they think that the lithography machine has reached the technical level to be signed for the contract, they will never lie to me." ”

Seeing that Dongfang Ke and Hu Lao wanted to speak and stopped, Zhou Shuo was unmoved, took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone.

In the testing workshop, Ma Yougong was still trying to explain, but even if he operated the testing equipment himself, he couldn't get a satisfactory number. Although I also suspected that it was a problem with the device, there was no error prompt when I restarted the self-test.

"There must be something wrong with your equipment!"

Ma Yougong gritted his teeth and insisted: "I ask to re-test with our equipment, and our products are absolutely no problem!" ”

"No, no, since you suspect something wrong with our equipment, how can you be sure that there is nothing wrong with your equipment?" James objected vehemently: "Our equipment is carefully tuned and there is no possibility of a problem. On the contrary, you, as Party A, have the motivation to do something on the device! ”

"How can we do it on the device!" Ma Yougong's face turned red with anger, and he shouted: "If our equipment also detects the same value, I will eat this lithography machine!" ”

"Okay, okay, Mr. Ma, I know you're very unwilling." Steve separated James, who was still about to say something, and said calmly: "I understand your unwillingness, but we won't use your equipment." And even if your device has been tested, it cannot be used as a basis for testing. Intel will only believe in its own technology, and there is not that deep trust between our two companies yet. ”

"Well, since the Panhan Group's lithography machine cannot meet the contract requirements, I declare that this inspection is over......"

"Hashito Madai!"

Before Steve could finish his words, a Japanese sentence suddenly came from the entrance of the inspection workshop!

"Huh?" Steve turned his head to look at where the voice came from. Of course, he couldn't understand Japanese, so he subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

“Pleasewait！”

Jasmine Shiraishi walked over briskly and repeated it in English. Of course, even if she didn't say anything, the people on the scene understood what she wanted to say.

"You're you, Ms. Shiraishi, aren't you?" Steve was stunned for a moment and asked, "I remember, aren't you the head of Nikon's lithography division?" How did it end up here? ”

"Hello, Mr. Steve." Shiraishi Jasmine nodded faintly and said, "I am now the CTO of Fanhan Optical Manufacturing Company, responsible for the operation of the lithography machine production line. ”

When James saw Shiraishi Jasmine, his face couldn't help but change, and he shrank back a little nervously.

Jasmine Shiraishi glanced at him and didn't say anything more. Instead, he greeted Steve and said with a stern face: "Mr. Steve, I think there may be some misunderstanding here. This lithography machine was supervised by me throughout the whole process, and it is impossible for such a strict mistake to occur. ”

"I'm not suspicious of Ms. Shiraishi, but now there is a real problem with the measurement readings......"

"Let me retest, no problem, right?"

Jasmine Shiraishi looked at Steve, she still has some status in the field of lithography machines in the world. After so many years, the head of Nikon's lithography machine division has become an authoritative title in the industry. Steve can ignore the infamous Ma Yougong, but he won't even give this little face to Jasmine Shiraishi.

"Okay then, but we have to use our equipment."

"Of course."

Jasmine Shiraishi walked up to James and stretched out her hand: "Mr. James, please hand over the testing equipment to me." ”

James swallowed and handed over the device to Jasmine Shiraishi under the gaze of everyone. I saw that she neatly installed the testing equipment and lithography machine, and then operated on the testing equipment, and then pressed the button to start the inspection! (To be continued......)
