Chapter 252, about lithography machines

With the success of the new generation of Pangu computing research, Qin Yi's big boss smashed down a large sum of money and a large amount of bonuses, and the entire computer research institute was like a chicken blood, and the fighting spirit was expensive.

The chip research department is constantly researching the mass production of chips, and the chips of Pangu computers are completely different from the chips on the market now.

Because the working mechanism of the two is completely different, the chips in the market are all chips based on the binary working mechanism, and the chips required by the Pangu computer are the decimal working mechanism chips based on the principle of abacus operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture chips by yourself, one is that there is no such chip on the market, and Qin Yi is also for long-term consideration.

Once the virtual machine is launched to the entire market, if the core chip is subject to foreign countries, foreign countries will definitely use chips as bargaining chips to attack themselves.

This kind of thing happened a few years ago, when it threatened another well-known technology company in China with chips.

The urine sex of foreigners is now clear to everyone.

When you don't have any conflict of interest with them, they will never be stingy with their praise to show their gentlemanly demeanor.

But when you touch their interests in a certain field, they will privately put on the mask of a gentleman, first talk about cooperation, and if the cooperation does not succeed, they will find a way to acquire you, and if the acquisition does not succeed, they will directly turn the table and do everything.

Therefore, the core chip must not be controlled by others, which Qin Yi knew very early on, and he also organized people to study chip manufacturing very early.

Chip manufacturing is a real high-tech field, and on a global scale, only Uncle Sam is a real integrator, whether it is the manufacture of chip raw materials, as well as the design of chips, etc., all aspects are very powerful.

In addition to Uncle Sam, South Korea's Samsung, Singapore's Avago, as well as the crooked MediaTek and TSMC are also strong players in the chip field.

Huaxia is a rising star in this regard, although the various technologies of chip manufacturing have been touched, and they can also make good chips, but the chip cost, performance, yield and so on are still not satisfactory.

Since Qin Yi is determined to show his skills in this field, he will naturally not be willing to only do one aspect of it, and naturally he will also control the entire chip field in his own hands.

Chip manufacturing is a high-tech field, but it is also a high-investment field, all kinds of research equipment, production equipment, etc. are very expensive, and the investment is very huge.

Not to mention anything else, just the core lithography machine, any one will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and more importantly, because of the "Walsen Agreement", Huaxia is a country that belongs to the technology embargo, so the lithography machine, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

In addition to all kinds of expensive equipment, the production field of chips is basically fully automated and mechanized, and the production environment requirements are very high, and dust-free is the most basic.

Because the microcircuit on the chip is very small, contaminated with a little dust and the like, the chip will be scrapped, and the entire production process is carried out in a dust-free, fully automated, and fully mechanized production workshop.

Of course, money is a string of numbers for Qin Yi now, and some are money.

Throwing a large amount of money down, poaching people, and throwing money to buy equipment, etc., will never stop if you don't make your own chips.

In a factory under Galaxy Electronics Group, Qin Yi, who was dressed in a white coat and even wore a white hat on his head, was accompanied by Shen Xu at this time to inspect the chip production factory that was constantly being installed and debugged.

This chip production plant is currently the largest investment among many enterprises under Qin Yi's command, and even the factory under Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group that produces anti-gravity spacecraft does not have one percent of its investment.

The construction standard of the factory is very high-level, and the top construction company in China has been invited, and billions of dollars have been spent on construction alone, and a dust-free, constant temperature and humidity factory with the highest standard has been built.

Coupled with all kinds of equipment, instruments, fully automated and mechanized production lines inside the factory, Qin Yi smashed tens of billions of dollars into this factory alone, and it was completely smashed out with money.

"In 2017, our domestic chip imports in China have reached more than 2,600 US dollars, and the output value of the global chip market is about 1.5 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 2 points of global GDP that year."

"The development of our country in this area has been restricted by lithography machines, so the development of technology in this area in our country is very slow, that is, it has developed faster in recent years."

Shen Xu is an expert in the field of chips, and he is also very clear about the situation of the global chip market.

While taking Qin Yi to visit, he also introduced the situation in the field of chips at home and abroad in detail.

"Lithography machine?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi also grasped the key to the core.

Some equipment is named the "crown jewel of industry" due to its huge manufacturing difficulty, the most mainstream is two major equipment: aero engine and lithography machine, the most advanced aero engine is currently quoted in the order of tens of millions of dollars, but the most ordinary lithography machine is currently quoted in the order of more than 100 million US dollars.

The degree of integration of the chip depends on the accuracy of the lithography machine, the lithography machine needs to achieve an image resolution of tens of nanometers or even higher, the higher the accuracy of the two core systems of the lithography machine - the optical system and the alignment system, the finer the grooves that can be engraved on the silicon wafer, the higher the integration of the chip, and the stronger the computing power.

At present, 80% of the world's lithography machine market is occupied by the Dutch company ASML, and EUV lithography machines capable of 7nm or even 5nm production are currently only available to ASML in the world.

"Yes, the lithography machine, in the past, we couldn't buy this lithography machine with money, it belongs to the embargo, but in the past two years, because of our huge breakthrough in the field of anti-gravity, foreigners for the Chinese currency, for the anti-gravity spacecraft, all kinds of embargoed, embargoed equipment, technology, etc., we can also easily buy." 、

"The lithography machine in our factory is the most advanced EUV lithography machine of the Dutch ASMl company, of course, at present, we are also making every effort to conquer the various technologies of the lithography machine, I estimate that soon, we can also manufacture more advanced lithography machines ourselves, and then we don't have to look at their faces."

When he said this, Shen Xu's face was also full of pride.

China's rapid development in the field of aviation and aerospace, especially in the field of interstellar space science and technology, has made world-renowned achievements.

If you want an anti-gravity spaceship, you need Chinese coins, because Huaxia only recognizes Chinese coins, so many things that were not sold before, technology, etc., foreigners are also scrambling to sell them, and as for all kinds of embargo agreements and the like, they have naturally become paper to wipe their butts, and no one cares anymore.

After all, even Uncle Sam has taken the lead in exporting all kinds of advanced technology and equipment to Huaxia, and the younger brother below is naturally not to be outdone.

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Qin Yi remembered that he signed a document half a year ago, and the content of the document was that the Netherlands would export several of the most advanced lithography machines to him, and his side promised to produce the anti-gravity spacecraft purchased by the Netherlands in advance, and in terms of settlement, he could use a part of the American knife to settle the settlement.

"This shows that as long as we are strong, our former enemies will also take the initiative to reach out and make friends with us."

Qin Yi smiled and said with emotion.

In recent years, the changes in Huaxia can really be described as earth-shaking, relying on anti-gravity technology, it has made brilliant achievements in the field of aerospace and aviation, so that Huaxia's strength has grown rapidly.

The attitude of all countries in the world towards China has also undergone the most obvious change, and the embargo on technology and equipment has become a dead letter, and in other countries, the Chinese people can obviously feel the many benefits brought by the strength of the motherland.

For example, as long as you hold a Chinese ID card, you can travel to most countries in the world without a visa or a visa on arrival, after all, the current Chinese currency is the world's currency, and all countries in the world urgently need it.

This was unimaginable a few years ago, not to mention it before, even to go to their own domestic Xiangjiang and Macao borders, you also need to apply for a pass, and there are restrictions on the number of times and time, and it is not even as useful as the identity of people from many countries.

"Not only did they take the initiative to reach out, they also asked us, just as we begged them at the beginning, feng shui took turns, and this year it finally came to our house."

Speaking of this topic, Shen Xu also had feelings.

He is an expert in the field of chips, and he used to go to the Netherlands to buy lithography machines on behalf of the country, and he was deliberately harassed by all kinds of people, and the feeling of grievance that money can't buy things can only be understood by those who have experienced it in person.

But now, as the person in charge of the chip field of Galaxy Technology Group, knowing that he is researching chips, the Dutch took the initiative to come to the door and send the most advanced lithography machine, hoping that he can get on the line with Qin Yi's side, so that he can buy an anti-gravity spaceship at a favorable price and conditions.

It's a really good feeling!

"You have to work hard, and strive to get the technology of the lithography machine thorough as soon as possible, we are improving, foreigners are also making progress, once the advantages of this anti-gravity technology are gone, we will return to the previous state."

"Only when we truly master these technologies will we not be controlled by others, and it is best to be able to catch up in this field and surpass them in one fell swoop."
