On December 8, according to the scheduled plan, the battle of photoresist was in full swing.

Xinyang, Boyue, Ruihong, Kechuang and the four major domestic factories took the lead in starting to distribute goods, and the first wave of offensive to the domestic market.

As a semiconductor filament, the war in the photoresist industry is completely different from the rhythm of the mobile phone industry.

After all, photoresist has no way to advertise, fight marketing, and not to hold a new product launch conference, and ordinary consumers will not know about the existence of this war at all.

However, within the science and technology circle, the news that the four major domestic factories began to release goods was like a depth charge, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

After all, this is photoresist, a typical high-precision product, without photoresist, don't want to make any chips, is the lifeblood of the semiconductor industry and the display industry.

Moreover, this is the first time in the history of Chinese manufacturers to enter the upstream of semiconductors.

For a while, the number of online people in major professional forums skyrocketed, and everyone was nervously waiting for news.

"SMIC has officially received supplies from the four major factories and is doing testing!"

"BOE also received it, the laboratory is working overtime tonight!"

Netizens who work in major semiconductor factories or panel factories began to report the situation to the onlookers, and whenever a new piece of news came, the forum would frantically swipe a wave of posts.

Products that have really reached the pinnacle of the technology industry have never had a second way except for performance and price.

It is useless to play the sign of domestic goods, if the performance is not up to standard, even if it is said to break the sky, SMIC will not buy even a ton of products, in this field, the fight is strength!

"Huaxing Optoelectronics has received the goods!"

"YMTC starts testing!"

"Minnan Jinhua starts testing!"

As more and more of the latest news came, the major forums completely exploded.

Although Xingchen Technology, which everyone is most concerned about, has not yet officially entered the market, the four major photoresist factories have taken the lead, and in just one day, all the domestic factories that use photoresist have all arrived.

After the arrival of the goods is the on-line testing, which is the key one, if the test performance is up to standard, the domestic manufacturer is happy to carry out domestic replacement.

The four major domestic factories are different from Xingchen Technology, they have mature production lines and labor, there is no cost problem, and the cost is even lower than that of overseas manufacturers, and the price is advantageous.

In the next week, domestic semiconductor people feel as happy as the New Year.

The test results show that the performance of the six grades of photoresist produced by the four major factories is not weaker than that of imported goods, and even in some technical indicators and prices, it is better than that of imported goods.

Originally, according to business logic, even if the test was passed, it was impossible to replace the imported goods on the production line with domestic ones in such a short time.

But there are exceptions to everything, and domestic manufacturers really can't find a reason not to support domestic products, so they have signed supply contracts with the four major photoresist factories.

The timing is also a coincidence, usually like this kind of high-precision raw material supply, to sign a contract in advance, the contract is valid for one or two years, as short as a quarter.

The time for the release of the four major factories is just stuck at the end of the year, the old contract is about to end, and the new contract has not yet been signed.

More and more good news is coming, led by SMIC and BOE, domestic customers who use photoresist have signed supply contracts for the next year with the four major manufacturers led by Xinyang.

Although it has long been expected that domestic manufacturers will support domestic photoresists, such good news has come one after another, which still makes the domestic science and technology circle crazy excited.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the four major factories tried to kill the international market after completing the domestic large-scale distribution, but in the international market, they all suffered a fiasco.

Even though the price is slightly lower than that of international giants, overseas manufacturers are still reluctant to replace the neon goods they are using with products from Huaxia.

TSMC, Taiwan Union Power, Zhonghua Picture Tube, etc., all of them said that they should be cautious and cautious in changing suppliers, follow the process, and conduct a small batch trial first.

Their prudence can also be understood, after all, domestic manufacturers have no experience in global supply before, and they have not said anything to death, everything can not be rushed, but take your time.

The most fierce reaction is the Korean manufacturers, Samsung, LG, Hynix, these big manufacturers, have said that even if they die, they will not use Huaxia photoresist, in the field of photoresist, they only use Dongjin Chemical and LG Chem products.

Although the attempt to enter the international market has been thwarted, in any case, the domestic at least full flowering, colleagues in the science and technology circle are still very proud.

The only thing that puzzles them is where did they go, Xingchen Technology, the initiator of this war?

......

Santa Clara, California, USA.

When An Ran and Zhang Dongning came here, it was December 20, Western time, and Christmas was a few days away, and the streets were lit up with lights on both sides of the street, and Christmas trees were lit up at the entrances of major technology companies.

The only downside to the festive atmosphere is that there is no snow in California and no reindeer pulling sleds.

An Ran and Zhang Dongning rented a Lincoln car at the airport, and they didn't even go to the hotel to store their luggage, and went straight to Silicon Valley.

He interned in Silicon Valley for a period of time and received offers from many world-renowned companies, but in the end, he chose to return to China.

Thinking about it now, it was probably the wisest decision in An Ran's life, as soon as he returned to China, he met Sha Zhan and Gu Pengdong, and the two deans introduced him to Luo Jia.

An Ran held the mentality of trying it out, and did it, and now he is Luo Jia's right-hand man, and he is the number one figure in the domestic and even global science and technology circles.

The car stopped in the parking lot, An Ran pointed to a white building a few hundred meters away, and said to Zhang Dongning, "Look, that's AMD's headquarters, the building on the right is NVIDIA, and the parking lot under our feet belongs to Intel." ”

Zhang Dongning was slightly stunned, "These three companies are also rivals, they are so close that they can see each other in the office!" ”

An Ran smiled, "This is Silicon Valley, the flagship of the global high-tech industry, where we stand, there are more than 40,000 high-tech companies, and the GDP created by Santa Clara alone accounts for 4.7 percent of the entire United States." ”

"The average age of the people living here is only 29 years old, but it is the place with the most millionaires in the world, and every square kilometer of land here can create an output value of 80.5 billion!"

Zhang Dongning was surprised at first, and then the whole person became excited, "According to what you say, today is a memorable day, after all, this is the first time since the establishment of our company that we have killed the base camp of the science and technology industry from eastern China!" ”

An Ran laughed, he and Zhang Dongning walked side by side, came to the outside of Intel's global headquarters, and were stopped by two fat black guards.

Perhaps because Christmas was approaching, they wore blue police uniforms, a Colt pistol at their waists, and red Santa hats on top of their heads.

"Gentlemen, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment? The guards stopped An Ran and Zhang Dongning.

"Please inform SEG. Mr. Holden, Huaxia Xingchen Technology came to visit. Enron replied in proficient English.
