Chapter 919 Immersion Lithography Machine
"Hello distinguished gentlemen, my name is Lin Benjian, and I am an engineer at TSMC!" Lin Benjian looked at the Fuso man in front of him and said in broken Japanese.
"I'm from Huaxia, not from Fusang!" Boss Jia said lightly in standard Mandarin, Lin Benjian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the person who called him from the front desk to the Mercedes-Benz business car was actually a Chinese.
"You are Taipei, and Kaohsiung ......"
"I'm from Huaxia!" Boss Jia repeated, Lin Benjian's eyes immediately revealed a different taste, and there seemed to be a trace of contempt in his tone, he shook his head and said, "It seems that this gentleman, you are looking for the wrong person, please let me get out of the car, I still have important things to do." ”
"I am Jia Yapeng, the chairman of Daqian Group, I can help you!" Although Boss Jia was very unhappy in his heart, he also knew that in the eyes of the Wanwan people in these years, all the Chinese people were poor people.
Well, it's not this year, even in 2020, the vast majority of Wanwan people still think so.
"I don't know any Daqian Group, please let me get off!" Lin Benjian shook his head and insisted on getting out of the car.
Seeing that Lin Benjian's face was still full of disdain, Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You really don't know our Daqian Group?" ”
"What, any small company in Huaxia, do I need to know it?" Lin Benjian said in a slightly mocking tone.
"Let him go down!" Boss Jia waved his hand, and Boss Jia's bodyguard asked Lin Benjian to get out of the car.
"You guys keep an eye on this guy and don't leave your sight for a moment!" Boss Jia ordered the bodyguards, and the two bodyguards immediately got out of the car and went to keep an eye on them.
"You go to the company to find someone with good acting skills, let him ...... like this" Boss Jia said a few words to his secretary, the secretary nodded, and the car left the door of Nikon's company.

"These damn Fuso people...... I can't imagine that even mainlanders can afford to sit on Mercedes-Benz now, and they are still playing in front of me, and I don't know if it's rented. Lin Benjian borrowed wine to kill his sorrows in a tavern, he originally wanted to get himself drunk, but unfortunately Fuso's sake was not intoxicating at all, and the more Lin Benjian drank, the more painful he became.
"This gentleman, it's not a good thing to drink alone, we are both lonely and poor people, why don't we be together!" A middle-aged man walked up to Lin Benjian's side and said in Japanese.
Someone drank with him, but Lin Benjian didn't refuse, the two of them drank like this, and then they started chatting with each other.
The middle-aged man was about to drink too much, and he took the lead in telling his story, saying that he was an engineer at Nikon, but he was not valued by the company's top management, and many research results were ignored.
This made Lin Benjian feel the same way, and then said, "I'm the same, the above is not optimistic about my project, I have to negotiate with those damn companies myself, but they don't even want to see me, and now I really have no choice but to go to the Netherlands!" ”
As soon as Lin Benjian unfolded the conversation, he immediately began to talk endlessly.
It turned out that Lin Benjian was originally a researcher at IBM and worked at IBM for 22 years, but later because he was excluded from IBM, he jumped to TSMC and became an assistant R&D manager of TSMC.
Lin Benjian really wanted to do a career, he knew by chance that the technology of the lithography machine was stuck at the 70nm level, so that the current giants of the lithography machine industry, that is, Nikon, Canon, and South Korea's Samsung, were stuck at the 70nm level and could not progress.
Because at this time, the limit of the traditional dry imaging method is 70nm, which is a physical limit, and it is too difficult to exceed this limit.
In the face of this dilemma, almost all lithography machine manufacturers have begun to invest huge sums of money in dry imaging, believing that they can only continue to make breakthroughs in dry imaging.
Lin Benjian learned about this by chance, and combined with the immersion imaging method he was studying, Lin Benjian suddenly felt that this was the way to continue to improve the lithography machine.
So Lin Benjian proposed to TSMC to study immersion lithography machines.
As a result, TSMC was taken aback, although they are one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the world, their main job is production, research and development is secondary, and they do not want to develop lithography machines, which are important tools of the country.
TSMC very simply rejected Lin Benjian's suggestion, and did not even approve the research funds to Lin Benjian, and then drew a picture cake for him, telling Lin Benjian that as long as he can find a lithography machine manufacturer who is willing to cooperate and let them fully accept Lin Benjian's plan, TSMC will consider cooperating in the design of lithography machines.
So Lin Benjian first went to South Korea and found Samsung.
Later, he came to Fuso to go to Nikon and Canon to sell his immersion imaging method, but as a result, he was humiliated and kicked out, just like the treatment Hayashi received at Nikon.
Nikon and Canon, as well as Samsung, not only did not have any praise for Lin Benjian's idea, but reprimanded Lin Benjian very harshly, and Lin Benjian even heard that these two companies put pressure on TSMC at the same time, so that they could fire Lin Benjian, a guy who disrupted the market, although TSMC did not reply, but Lin Benjian already had a bad premonition.
"I just can't figure it out, I'm doing scientific research well, why don't everyone recognize me!" Lin Benjian lamented, and the whole person couldn't even help crying.
"Hey, I understand you very well, those Nikon bastards, they don't understand technology at all!" This Nikon engineer also said with empathy.
"Friend, you wait a while, I'll go to the toilet, we'll talk later!" After the Nikon engineer finished speaking, he went to the toilet.
It's just that he was still drunk just now, but as soon as he entered the toilet, he immediately became shrewd, and then made a phone call to Boss Jia, and told Boss Jia all the news he got from the name book.
"Immersion imaging to make lithography machines!" Boss Jia groaned, in his previous life, he didn't know anything about the lithography machine, only knew that Huawei was severely pinched by the lithography machine, but the specific principle of the lithography machine, Boss Jia did not know.
I don't know the story of Lin Benjian, a legendary figure.
But fortunately, Boss Jia himself is a scholar, when he studied with Ni Guangnan, he more or less mastered some knowledge of lithography machines, he is not a novice, on the contrary, he is very familiar with the current situation of lithography machines, and he also clearly knows the current dilemma of dry imaging.
"Soak in water to imaging, is that okay?" But even the genius Boss Jia was completely out of line when he heard the idea of completely abandoning tradition and immersing the lens in the water for imaging.
"Hurry up, call the teacher's house and let Teacher Ni answer the phone!" Boss Jia immediately instructed his secretary, but Ni Guangnan's wife answered the phone and said that Ni Guangnan was still in the laboratory.
"This old man is dead!" Boss Jia muttered, then continued to call the laboratory, connected the phone with his teacher, and quickly told Ni Guangnan the idea of the immersion imaging method.
Then, for a full 10 minutes, there was complete silence on the other end of the phone.
"Teacher! What do you think? Boss Jia couldn't help it and asked.
"I don't know...... this is Boss Jia has never heard, the blank voice "From a theoretical point of view, this is a certain truth, this road may work, but it may be a dead end, if you take this road, you may spend billions of dollars smashed into it, and all of them will be scrapped, without any results!" ”
"Can you go?" Boss Jia asked.
"I don't know...... It's better for you to make a decision......" Ni Guangnan himself was also instigated, so he threw the decision back into the hands of Boss Jia.
The old man is also afraid of taking the blame.
