Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wind Rises

Galaxy Technology's official website also announced part of the press conference.

Of course, this is also indispensable to the online media who like to add fuel to the fire.

[Shocked!] Astound! Shocking! His appearance frightened Sanxin! Taiji trembles! Intel is afraid! —UC News

[The first company to realize a 5-nanometer chip turned out to be ...... —Penguin News

[Galaxy Technology has successfully developed a 5-nanometer chip production line, and domestic chips are just around the corner.] —Neck Bulletin

[Another masterpiece of the Black Technology Emperor]—NetEase News

[A 5nm chip production line that doesn't even have a lithography machine?] The Eastern Tang people once again blew the cowhide to the moon. —The British Times

[ASML was interviewed by the Wa Association Committee on suspicion of investigating the export of lithography machines.] —Global Times

Obviously, ASML has suffered an unwarranted disaster, after all, the world's top lithography machine is produced by ASML, and now someone has announced the development of a 5nm chip production line, and it is also a restricted country.

The Tile Association Committee had to wonder if ASML was secretly selling lithography machines to countries with technological limitations.

And ASML does have a motive, because they have been yelling at the WAA Committee that the restrictions are too strict and that their company can't make money or something.

Therefore, the WA Committee hastened to initiate an urgent investigation procedure.

At the same time, even some domestic official media have expressed their opinions.

[Galaxy Technology breaks through 5nm chip technology]—Yangcheng Daily

[Another "Hanxin"??? — Legal Daily

[On the difficulty and equipment of 5 nanometer chips]—Science and Technology Daily

Obviously, the official media is quite cautious, and even directly poured cold water, after all, the Hanxin incident in 2006 is vividly remembered.

So the National Daily, the country's largest media outlet, also chose to remain silent.

And many people know that Galaxy Semiconductor did not obtain ASML's lithography machine, and even domestic lithography machine companies did not get orders from Galaxy Semiconductor.

After their investigation, they found that Galaxy Semiconductor not only did not purchase lithography machines, but also did not even purchase etching machines, ion implanters, dicing machines and photoresists.

This has to make people think about it, after all, a lithography machine has not been purchased, and it can be said that it has been successfully developed, is it possible that thousands of equipment on this chip production line are developed by themselves? Or was it developed in just four months?

Obviously, three-year-old children don't believe this kind of ridiculous thing.

Therefore, some official media had to come out and pour cold water, lest it be a scam to embarrass the Eastern Tang Kingdom.

The attitude above is also quite silent, as if it is not about themselves, obviously they are waiting for the results of the press conference of Galaxy Technology.

After all, this matter is a laughing stock if it is not done well, and they have to be cautious.

And the official website of Galaxy Technology is in a semi-paralyzed state at this time.

Because hundreds of millions of people are paying attention to Galaxy Technology all of a sudden, and the official website of Galaxy Technology can withstand 30 million traffic.

did not expect to rush into hundreds of millions of traffic at once, and the person in charge of the official website hurriedly rented a cloud server from a cloud service company after consulting Li Jianhua.

However, this traffic is so terrifying that even the official websites of other subsidiaries are crowded and stuck.

Looking at the average traffic of more than 60 million, the person in charge of the official website couldn't cry or laugh, if Galaxy Technology was an Internet company, these traffic would simply make a lot of money, but they weren't.

However, there is a lot of discussion on the official website, or there are polarizing views on the 5-nanometer chip production line of Galaxy Technology.

"Galaxy Technology is mighty!" —Shanmei users

"@汕美用户, there's a hole in my brain." — Chicken noodle soup

"@鸡汤面, you just have a hole in your brain, why invite people from the semiconductor industry if Galaxy Technology is fake? Are they so confident that they can fool the entire industry?" — sour grapes

"Galaxy Technology is very good in terms of silicon wafers, but this chip really needs to be discussed." — Siberian cold wind

"I'm sure Galaxy won't disappoint." — Centaurids

"I'm really looking forward to the chips that haven't been made with a lithography machine, I wonder if it has reached 5 centimeters?" — Manual funny

"You don't have to argue upstairs, you don't know the press conference of Galaxy Technology on November 11." — Eating melons for the masses

"If Galaxy Technology really has a 5-nanometer chip production line, I will live broadcast and eat Xiang." — Bragging doesn't cost money

"@吹牛皮不用钱, there are already several eaten, I took a screenshot and followed you, if there is no Xiang by then, I can express ten catties to you!" — Do not do not die

"Everyone, be sensible, I don't know if this matter is true or not, let's wait until after the press conference." — There is only one truth

……

Hangzhou, the headquarters of Alibaba.

Ma Jack looked at the Galaxy Technology conference on the same day as Double 11, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"What does Mr. Ma think of Galaxy Technology's press conference this time?" Zhang Xiaoyao asked suddenly.

"If you succeed, you will reach the peak, otherwise you will be ruined." Of course, Jack Ma knew that if Galaxy Technology lied in this matter, it would definitely be ruined.

"However, Huang Haojie can't be looked at with the eyes of ordinary people."

Hearing Ma Jack's addition, Zhang Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

"Can they really develop a 5-nanometer chip production line in four months?"

"Nothing is impossible, who knew they could complete the innovation of a large silicon wafer in two months?" Majack asked rhetorically.

Zhang Xiaoyao also reacted when he heard it, and it was also incredible that Galaxy Technology could complete the technological innovation and mass production of large silicon wafers in two months.

Now Shin-Etsu and LG Chem are already crying for their fathers and mothers, and about 70% of the entire silicon wafer market is dominated by Neutron Star, and even price reductions and promotions are very difficult.

In particular, Huaxin International, which has been using neutron star silicon wafers for trial production, obviously the quality of neutron star silicon wafers is very amazing.

Zhang Haijun looked at the chip quality inspection report after the trial production.

The CTO on the side said in a complicated tone:

"Compared with the quality of neutron star silicon wafers and Shin-Etsu and LG Chem, they can be killed in seconds, and the two sides are not opponents of the same magnitude."

"Yes! This 15N monocrystalline silicon purity is not something that Shin-Etsu can achieve, and when I visited the silicon wafer factory of Neutron Star, I found that their silicon wafers are very large, and the 30 centimeter square wafers we use are cut from them. Zhang Haijun sighed.

"In addition, the quality of neutron star silicon wafers is very uniform, Mr. Zhang, you see, the yield rate of our mass production of 28-nanometer chips was about 87% before, and now it is about 93%, and the proportion of excellent products accounts for 80%."

Don't underestimate the yield rate of 1% in chip manufacturing, if you manufacture 100 million chips, 1% is 1 million chips, and at a cost of 10 US dollars, 1 million chips is 10 million US dollars.

What's more, the cost of Huaxin International's chips is not so low, and their production cost is about more than 20 US dollars a chip.

In this way, even a thousandth of an increase is a saving of millions of US dollars, that is to say, after the use of neutron star silicon wafers, Huaxin International can produce 100 million chips, which can save at least 100 million US dollars.

In this case, to buy Shin-Etsu's silicon wafers can only be said to be a hole in the brain.

Even Sanxin, who has always been arrogant, has recently been negotiating with Neutron Star to buy silicon wafers, because the advantages of Neutron Star silicon wafers are too obvious, and the consequences if you don't buy them are very serious.

They also want to support LG Chem, but the problem is that your LG Chem skills are not as good as others, and the mentality of capitalists is often to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Don't you see, now the whole world is shorting the Big Five such as Shin-Etsu?

This is the cruelty of the market, not only do the losers not get sympathy, everyone thinks about how to make a fortune on their corpses, who will save them.
