Luo Sheng came to Xiongxin Electronics and entered the inside of the chip manufacturing factory, accompanied by Liu Yixuan, who is currently in charge of Xiongxin Electronics.

"In the past year, ASML has mass-produced a total of 27 immersion lithography machines with 45nm node technology, and Xiongxin Electronics has won the second order contract, which will be delivered this year."

Liu Yixuan, who accompanied Luo Sheng around the super factory, introduced while walking, and it has to be said that Xiongxin Electronics, as a wafer foundry with pure Chinese blood, can forcibly cut the queue, which is extremely rare in the eyes of people in the past, and even friends dare not think.

It is difficult for Huaxin International next door to want one, and it will not sell it to you if you give money, and it has not been talked about for so many years.

In the final analysis, Luo Sheng has mastered some core technologies in the semiconductor industry, and if you don't have to master them all, some of them are enough, but you must do that if you miss this part, no one else can play it.

Because of this, it has a decisive voice.

Of course, there is another important reason that cannot be ignored, and that is that the lithography equipment of 45nm node technology is not currently the most advanced in the world.

You must know that the high-end equipment of lithography machine, the world's wafer foundries are queuing up at the door of ASML to make an appointment to buy, and ASML's highest production capacity is only 30 lithography machine equipment in a year, and there are more than 30 wafer foundries in the world.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is watching from a distance in the room of a lithography machine equipment, 80% of the staff are foreigners, most of them are operators assigned by ASML, and the operation process of some lithography machines prohibits the engineers of Xiongxin Electronics from participating, and they don't even look at it, and even indirect participation is very closely guarded by them, and if there is a problem, it is their people to solve it.

ASML is simply guarding against the leakage of this high-end device, for fear of leaking something.

It is impossible for the engineers of Xiongxin Electronics not to be angry, but they are helpless, and the contract is so stipulated.

Luo Sheng is unwavering, and when extreme ultraviolet lithography technology comes out, the hunter and the prey should be exchanged.

After watching for a while, I left here and went to other workshops to see that the birth of a chip does not only require lithography equipment.

In the process of processing the chip, the lithography machine emits the beam through the circuit diagram through the method of light source and shape control, handles the optical error, and then reduces the proportion of the circuit diagram, and engraves the circuit diagram on the silicon wafer by chemical methods.

Various tiny spatial implantation ions are created on the wafer, PN nodes are generated, and thousands of components are constructed, and after these processes are completed, a prototype of the chip can be formed on a wafer.

In addition, it is necessary to go through the processes of cutting, packaging, inserting pins, and testing before the final chip can be sold to the market.

Luo Sheng was holding a processed 8-inch wafer tape-out, which was densely covered with a large number of uncut chips, looking at the orderly circuit texture, and couldn't help but admire: "The victory of every inch is the best praise of capital for technology." ”

After looking at it for a while and handing it over to the staff, Luo Sheng turned his head and asked Liu Yixuan, who was parallel to him: "How many wafer tape-outs can the maximum production capacity of the current factory reach?" ”

Liu Yixuan: "According to the peak work, each lithography equipment can process 2,400 pieces per day. ”

With a daily production capacity of 2,400 wafers, the total production capacity can produce nearly 72,000 wafers per month, and the annual output can reach 864,000 wafers.

Luo Sheng estimated for a moment, and couldn't help nodding: "That is to say, under the condition of ensuring the standard yield rate, each wafer can cut about 60 chips, and the annual output can exceed 50 million pieces...... Well, that's enough. ”

Huawei's independent terminal brand Honor mobile phone is basically ready for everything, only the chip is owed.

Because to a certain extent, the preparation is more complete than Xiaomi's mobile phone, you must know that the birth of the brand of Glory, to a large extent, is that Mr. Lei woke up Xu Zhijun, who was in charge of Lens Semiconductor at that time, it can be said that the brand of Glory and the brand of Xiaomi started at about the same time, but the first generation of Xiaomi's mobile phone has been on sale for a long time.

Glory has not launched its own first-generation terminal products so far, because it is waiting for the chip of Xiongxin Electronics, if it also chooses the path of Xiaomi, take the route of Qualcomm, and the first-generation terminal of Honor may be faster than Xiaomi.

Luo Sheng looked at Liu Yixuan and added: "Remind ASML that the second immersion lithography equipment must be delivered on time this year, and don't play any tricks on me to delay the delivery time, including its supporting facilities, chemical materials, etc." ”

Liu Yixuan nodded.

This year, one more lithography equipment will be added, and the increase in the output of 45 nanometer chips will make the overall production capacity of Xiongxin Electronics reach more than one piece in 2012.

The current production capacity can cope with the glory mobile phone that has just been launched, but in another year it may be that the production capacity is insufficient, the glory brand uses the technology that has not been named Azure mobile phone elimination, Luo Sheng knows very well that this product must be very capable of playing in the low-end brand, and the shipment volume will inevitably go up, and the annual sales volume will exceed 10 million is very potential.

And Luo Sheng, who has the memory of the previous life, knows better that such low-end equipment can easily exceed the shipment of 60 or 70 million units in the next few years, or even exceed 100 million.

If Xiongxin Electronics' wafer foundry does not expand its production capacity, it will definitely not be able to meet the increasing supply demand of the market, not to mention that Luo Sheng's biggest ambition is to want Xiongxin Electronics to replace Semiconductor Manufacturing and Samsung.

No matter how bad it is, it must become an existence that is on par with TSMC and Samsung Electronics in the field of chip wafer foundry in the world.

Now he is in the honeymoon period with TSMC, but Luo Sheng's heart to replace him has never been lowered.

In fact, Lift Semiconductor is not so stupid, although there is cooperation, but they are all in some edge technologies, backward technologies and other links that they do not use.

However, this is exactly what the fledgling Xiongxin Electronics needs most, and it can gain a firm foothold in the field of chip wafer foundry in order to seek the next step in the layout.

Not to mention anything else, first of all, we have to solve the original domestic chip wafer foundry, and then talk about it, and then determine the status of the largest domestic chip wafer foundry.

Luo Sheng walked around the inside of the chip production line and visited for about 20 minutes before leaving the super factory, and just came out, Liu Yixuan, who accompanied him, said:

"Mr. Luo, people from Huaxin International came to me again yesterday to discuss mergers and acquisitions."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was not surprised at all, and Qin Weimu, who was also present but didn't speak much, also spoke:

"Huaxin International's recent market value has been falling, and it is about to fall below the issue price, and if this trend continues, it may face the fate of forced delisting."

Luo Sheng looked at Liu Yixuan and asked, "How do they plan to merge and acquire?" ”

For the current Huaxin International, there is really a lack of interest, but as long as it is not excessive, mergers and acquisitions are not impossible, this is not determined by IQ, but by emotional intelligence.

Liu Yixuan replied: "The other party wants to complete the merger by cross-shareholding of Xiongxin Electronics. ”

Hearing such conditions, Luo Sheng directly threw off the emotional intelligence operation, and simply denied it neatly: "If they continue to insist, then it is better to refuse, don't hesitate, there is only one route to merge, then complete the liquidation of the overall assets of Huaxin International, and we will deliver the acquisition in cash and it is a wholly-owned acquisition, and the money will be divided among them, as for the entanglement between their shareholders, don't bring it to Xiongxin Electronics." ”

After speaking, Luo Sheng thought for a while and added: "We can acquire at an appropriate premium." ”

It's not okay to completely get rid of emotional intelligence, after all, Huaxin International is a company that is different from overseas companies.
