Chapter 523: Time Cost Is the Biggest Cost

The trading area of 1,000 and 50 acres is actually about 1,200 acres, and the surrounding greenery, roads, and bridges are not counted in it, and the mountainous area is calculated according to the plane.

Buy it here, and start construction there.

Kleist's 800-acre project has been basically capped, and the rest of the design and decoration do not need the construction company, so the construction company is almost seamlessly invested in the construction of the wafer factory.

Of course, the wafer fab is relatively special, and there are many places that ordinary construction companies are not capable of.

Fortunately, Pei Qianlong recruited more big bulls in the industry, and soon someone introduced suitable construction companies to join in, and several construction companies quickly reached a project agreement.

Version 1.0 of the science and technology gift package given by Lin Dong has relatively high-end fab architectural drawings with various parameters.

Just do it.

According to the project plan, the project will take at least seven months from start to completion, and it will take until the end of the year.

During this period, it is naturally impossible for everyone to sit there and wait.

The data in the USB flash drive can be analyzed and put into practice at the same time.

"That's not good, it's our killer feature." A tech executive couldn't help but raise his voice, wondering if there was something wrong with the general manager's brain.

When everyone was discussing how to build the lithography machine, the half-asleep general manager suddenly came and said, let's do it together.

Everyone's doing it together?

This person probably doesn't know what kind of lithography machine exists in the field of chips.

For chipmakers to succeed in making chips, they must use lithography machines. Lithography machine is the core equipment technology for the production of chips, which is very difficult, and Neon Netherlands currently occupies more than 90% of the global market share.

And the most advanced technology can only be done by the Dutch company ASML.

ASML in the Netherlands has a market share of up to 80% of the world's fab lithography equipment, and is almost in a dominant position in the market of dry exposure machines, immersion lithography machines, and EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography machines).

Manufacturers that produce chips, TSMC, Samsung, Intel and other international semiconductor giants are its customers.

In the USB flash drive given by Pei Qianlong, the most valuable is the 28nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology.

ASML claims that even if you are given drawings, you will not be able to make a lithography machine.

In fact, they're just talking.

They are stupid to take out the drawings of the lithography machine.

Now, Kleist has mastered the core technology of the lithography machine, not only the drawings, but also the principles and algorithms involved in all aspects.

This alone can suddenly open up the distance from other domestic competitors for ten years, after all, the lithography machine independently developed by domestic chip giants is still at the level of 90nm.

"I just heard you say that the lithography machine is an ultra-complex thinking system composed of tens of thousands of precision parts, hundreds of actuator sensors, and tens of millions of lines of code, and even ASML does not rely on its own efforts to build the lithography machine, since this is the ......case," Pei Qianlong paused and asked: "Why do you still want to toss our lithography machine independently?" ”

Or, this is the authorities, the obsessed bystanders, the clear bar.

It is precisely because Pei Qianlong does not understand that he can't understand how valuable a lithography machine that can etch 28nm process chips is.

He only knows that what can't be done is worthless.

The development of the chip field is changing with each passing day, and when they have the ability to independently manufacture a 28nm lithography machine - if there is really this possibility, maybe 28nm at that time will be as low-end as the current 90nm.

When the time comes, it will not be the same worthless.

The top management of several chip divisions were somewhat silent.

They hadn't been with Kleist for a long time, but they were all attracted by the vision they had drawn in their hearts - Pei Qianlong didn't depict them, and he couldn't depict them.

Dominate the domestic chip field, and then go abroad.

The first step is to make the lithography machine.

This kind of thing seems almost impossible, but everyone discusses it in a similar way.

They were all stunned.

Now Pei Qianlong woke them up with a word and made them recognize the reality.

They can't do it.

Since it can't be done, what's the point of the fab.

It is true that etching technology is not only photolithography, but also metal etching machines, silicon etching machines, and medium etching machines.

With the support of Guo Jia 02 special project, NAURA has continuously achieved breakthroughs in the field of silicon etching machines, and the advanced process technology has been rising, with breakthroughs in 28nm and 22nm, and it has been announced at the beginning of this year that it has developed a silicon etching machine with 14nm process.

But at the end of the day, lithography represents advanced technology.

SMIC ordered a lithography machine from ASML and spent $160 million.

In a purely seller's market environment, you won't find a place to complain.

"Make it, before you can talk about other things, you can screen it, find a few partners who have the ability in this area, and everyone will make the lithography machine together, remember, time cost is the biggest cost. Of course, we have to make a lot of money here. Pei Qianlong made the final decision.

Although others were reluctant, they could not find a reason to oppose it.

What's more, it's not bad to make a fortune.

"After all, it is our Chinese enterprise, and the good development of our family is not enough to drive the progress of the entire industry." So says one of the tech gurus.

"Yes, that's it, if other companies don't develop, we will make more high-end equipment one day in the future, and who will sell it to when the time comes." Pei Qianlong praised this.

"I understand, let's get this done as soon as possible, and strive to make the 28nm process lithography machine in the shortest possible time." Sun Moyu also expressed his support for this, but he immediately added: "Everyone in this industry understands that our mainland is backward and difficult in this regard, and we all have the heart to change this status quo, but since we are a member of the Kleist chip division, everything must be in the interests of the company, and everyone must not do anything stupid in a hot head." ”

Everyone listened to the training solemnly and felt that what Lao Sun said was also very important.

"In the past few years, the development of the chip field has proved that other companies can't do it, how much money to give, how many talents to give, they have not been able to completely change the current industry predicament," Chief Technology Officer Liang Renzhong also agreed: "Since this is the case, then it is up to us to change all this, and the premise of everything must be the development of our company, only with development, can we have the ability to do more things." ”

If people engage in technology, their brains may not be stiff.

The perspective of looking at the problem is also very scientific and reasonable.
