At present, the localization rate of domestic semiconductor equipment is only 16% on average, which can be subdivided into nine fields.

They are: oxidation/diffusion furnace (high-temperature furnace), lithography equipment, gluing and developing equipment, etching equipment, ion implantation equipment, thin film deposition equipment, chemical mechanical polishing equipment, testing equipment, and cleaning equipment.

The oxidation/diffusion furnace (high-temperature furnace) market is mainly occupied by foreign brands, such as 米国Applied Materials, Toei Hitachi, Tokyo Electron and other companies. At present, only NAURA is developing in this field in China.

In terms of lithography equipment, the global lithography machine market was mainly dominated by ASML, Nikon and Canon in the Netherlands. In China, it is the newly emerging Shenguang Instrument, as well as the previous microelectronics.

In terms of gluing and developing equipment, the global leading gluing and developing equipment are Tokyo Electron, Deans and Susmicro of Germany. The most competitive company in China is Shenyang Xinyuan Micro.

In terms of etching equipment, the top three in the global etching equipment industry are Ram Research, Tokyo Electron, and Applied Materials. Among the domestic enterprises are China Micro Corporation and North Huachuang.

Ion implantation equipment, the world's leading ion implanters are 米国Applied Materials and Axcelis Corporation, which together occupy nearly 90% of the global market share. Among the domestic enterprises, only Kaishitong and Zhongkexin have the R&D and production capacity of integrated circuit ion implanters.

Thin film deposition equipment is currently highly monopolized in the global market, with Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron and Ram Research accounting for the vast majority of the market. Domestic enterprises include North Huachuang and Shenyang Tuojing.

In terms of chemical mechanical polishing, the CMP machine market is highly monopolized by Applied Materials and Dongying's Ebara, with a market share of nearly 90%. In the domestic market, Huahai Qingke and Electric Technology Equipment 45 are the main R&D forces.

In terms of testing equipment, the world's main suppliers of integrated circuit quality measurement equipment are KLATencor, Applied Materials, and Dongying Hitachi. The main representatives of domestic enterprises are Shanghai Ruili Science and Shanghai Jingce.

In addition, testing equipment, as well as electrical testing equipment, the current electrical testing equipment market concentration is very high, of which the testing machine is mainly monopolized by Advantest and Teradyne, the sorting machine is monopolized by Advantest, Kexiu Semiconductor, Epson and other enterprises, and the probe station is monopolized by Tokyo Electron, Tokyo Precision and Yizhi.

Changchuan Technology, a leading company in China, has laid out the testing machine and sorting machine market, and actively developed probe stations. The main product of Huafeng Measurement and Control is the testing machine, and the main product of Shanghai Zhongyi is the sorting machine.

In the last area of cleaning equipment, the global cleaning equipment leaders Deanshi, Tokyo Electron and Ram Research, of which Deanshi accounts for more than 50%, is the absolute leader. Among domestic enterprises, Shengmei Semiconductor is an excellent representative of domestic cleaning equipment.

From the above nine subdivisions, are there two company names that appear intensively.

That is, the United States Applied Materials and Dongying Tokyo Electronics, ASML can only dominate the lithography machine, but Applied Materials has six areas of advantage, and Tokyo Electron also has six areas of advantage.

At present, only the lithography machine of Shenguang Instrument has reached the world's top, and the etching machine of China Micro Corporation has reached the world's first-class.

At most, the rest can only occupy a part of the mid-end market, and most of them are low-end markets.

But Huaguo has one advantage, that is, comprehensiveness.

No matter how powerful the opponents in this field are, there is at least one corresponding company in China.

Since mid-June, the Thinking Club has secretly and quickly contacted various domestic semiconductor equipment manufacturers, and these manufacturers are not having a good time.

And the Thinking Society is now waving banknotes to the door, for these domestic semiconductor companies to invest or merge and acquire.

As the most important lithography machine in semiconductor equipment and the world's top lithography machine manufacturer, SG Instrument Group has a huge cash flow.

Of course, it is to transform into a gold owner's father, and buy and buy in China.

Among them, North Huachuang, China Micro Semiconductor, Zhongkexin, Shanghai Ruili Science, and Huafeng Measurement and Control are five shares.

Xinyuan Micro, Kaishitong, Shenyang Tuojing, Huahai Qingke, Shanghai Jingce, Changchuan Technology, Shanghai Zhongyi, Shengmei Semiconductor, and Shenguang Instrument Group have reached a controlling stake.

Finally, after the completion of this large merger and acquisition on August 11, Shenguang Instrument Group held a seminar on Huaguo semiconductor equipment at its headquarters in Shanmei.

In the venue, a group of domestic semiconductor equipment CEOs and R&D personnel were discussing in a whisper.

Zhang Houde, the boss of North Huachuang, whispered to Zeng Zhangwu, the boss of China Micro Semiconductor: "Lao Zeng, what do you say Shenguang Instrument wants to do?"

"What for?" Zeng Zhangwu thought for a while: "I guess I want to integrate various companies!" ”

Zhang Houde raised his eyebrows and said, "That one is really ambitious!" ”

Looking around, Zeng Zhangwucai muttered in a low voice: "It's just young and vigorous, semiconductor equipment is not that simple." ”

Regarding Zeng Zhangwu's statement, Zhang Houde was noncommittal, after all, Huang Mingzhe could develop the world's top lithography machine with Shenguang Instruments, and his strength was beyond doubt.

However, among the other seven fields, to be promoted to the world's top or world-class, I am afraid it is not so simple, otherwise Huaguo would not have been stuck in the neck for so many years.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and it turned out to be Gao Zhiyuan and his party coming.

At this time, the place where they met was the Computer Programming Institute of the Thinking Club, Gao Zhiyuan stood on the podium, and pressed his hands slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.

"First of all, thank you all for coming over and joining us in your busy schedule."

Bang Bang Bang ...... Whatever you're going to do, it's right to start with applause.

Gao Zhiyuan said a lot on the podium, mainly about the problem of domestic semiconductor equipment: "...... In the final analysis, we are currently facing three major problems: mismatch between hardware and software, backward industrial design software, and backward materials. ”

Zhang Houde and others nodded in agreement, these three problems are indeed big problems in the domestic semiconductor equipment industry, and they are also common problems in the domestic high-end precision instrument industry.

Gao Zhiyuan clicked the mouse, and the curtain behind him showed these three problems, and he clicked on the material problem again.

"The Materials Research Institute of our Thinking Club is the most advanced materials science research institute in the world."

The CEOs and engineers secretly thought in their hearts, is this selling melons and boasting about themselves?

"In order to deal with the material problem, we have reached cooperation agreements with various universities in the Creeper Alliance, and in addition, in the Materials Research Institute of Shanmei, it has been expanded to 15 related materials laboratories." Gao Zhiyuan said as he clicked on the materials laboratory.

[Photosensitive materials, elastic materials, high-temperature resistant materials, low-temperature resistant materials, capacitive materials, carbon materials, superconductor materials, semiconductor materials, high-strength materials, foam materials, high-energy materials, magnetic materials, memory materials, optoelectronic materials, temperature difference materials. ］

"The fifteen laboratories you see can currently accept the ...... of material research and development commissions"

[Photosensitive materials, elastic materials, high-temperature resistant materials, low-temperature resistant materials, capacitive materials, high-strength materials, magnetic materials, optoelectronic materials]

Gao Zhiyuan continued: "It is the above eight laboratories, and these laboratories can be entrusted if necessary. ”

In fact, these eight materials laboratories all have models of material special effects in computational materials science, which is the confidence of the Thinking Society.

Coupled with the cooperation with various universities, the Thinking Club has been greatly expanding the number of researchers, and there are more than 2,100 researchers in the eight laboratories, as well as a large number of auxiliary staff.
