Chapter 221 High-end chemical industry and super soft and hard linkage!

High-end electronic chemicals are all monopolized by chemical giants with foot pot chickens.

The providers that can be found in the market are either Mitsubishi Chemical or giants like Shin-Etsu Chemical.

At present, China has become a big country in the electronic information industry, and the huge scale of the market has faintly marched towards the world's first.

But the tragedy is that the domestic electronic information industry is mainly concentrated in the middle and late stages of the entire industrial chain, manufacturing, assembly and other links.

In the early stage of the industrial chain, such as design, process, wafer raw materials, equipment, and electronic chemicals, these important links are still controlled by countries such as Europe and the United States, and foot basin chicken.

Of course, this is not to say that there is no complete industrial chain in China, although the domestic industrial level is very rare and sophisticated, but it is large and full of our advantages, but it has not yet caught up.

It is self-righteous to say that the various links, processes, designs, raw materials, etc., that the entire industrial chain can provide are controlled by others, but ...... All in the low and mid-range.

Once the supply is cut off, the consequences are serious, because the profits of the whole industry are concentrated in the high-end.

However, Zhong Zixing had calculations before acquiring the fab.

In terms of microelectronics design, neutron star technology has caught up, which is the least need to worry, although the level of process is not high, but the Gemini chip has not reached the high-end ranks, and currently only needs to occupy the mid-range.

In terms of the supply of wafer raw materials, if you do not purchase from sticks, foot basin chickens, and lighthouse countries, there are also supply places such as Lift, Hucheng, Shancheng, and Northwest Ningxia, anyway, the current wafer factory of Neutron Star is only 8-inch wafers, and I don't care if there is a gap.

Manufacturing equipment, this does not need to worry, high-end equipment has been monopolized by foreign countries, there is no way to import, neutron star technology has already ordered a batch of low-end equipment companies such as Shanghai microelectronics, plus he led the extreme precision department to overcome difficulties, improve the process, step by step to solve the most cutting-edge link in the lithography machine.

At most, they stay in the mid-range for a little longer, and they have the money and time.

What company would dare to invest all its profits in R&D like them, without capital constraints?

In addition to the above steps, there are coping strategies, and Neutron Star Technology has not yet started to do it at the stage of electronic chemicals.

Domestic cutting-edge electronic chemical products, 90% rely on imports, only 10% of self-produced and sold, it seems desperate, but the hope of this industry to catch up is the greatest.

Why do you say that, those who study chemistry know that although this industry also has to eat the industrial level, the precipitation and accumulation of knowledge are more important.

Unlike lithography machines and engines, the design drawings are powerless in front of them, and it is very easy for chemicals to understand the principle, understand the knowledge, and have technical precipitation, and the key is technology and knowledge.

And Zhong Zixing, the most important thing is knowledge!

He has already studied related majors and can understand the relevant aspects of knowledge in his mind.

If you give him time and space, it doesn't take many people to get photoresist, fluoropolyimide, and high-purity hydrogen fluoride, and it is only a matter of time before he catches up with the technical accumulation of footbasin chickens.

The whole world is dependent on these three major electronic chemicals, and they can't get rid of it if they want to, but Neutron Star Technology is the least worried.

Take a closer look, after the establishment of the Element Evolution Department, if Neutron Star Technology does not enter the field of high-end semiconductors for the time being, it will completely get rid of foreign constraints.

......

In order to stop the loss in time, give an explanation to shareholders and banks.

In the end, Chen Fukang of Shiwei Semiconductor still sold two wafer factories and a packaging and testing factory to Neutron Star Technology.

After all, the offer of Neutron Star Technology is too tempting, and the 20 billion wholly-owned acquisition does not want to be more frustrated on funds at all.

The interest rate of the bank is rising every time there is a delay, which is not a small amount, and ordinary people simply cannot bear it.

Compared with the neutron star, the price of the semiconductor company is relatively much lower, and there are only these two giants in the market at present in the acquisition of the wafer factory, they have no other way out than to make a choice between the two, of course, choose the neutron star with a higher price.

Witnessed by the relevant departments and banks, all the executives of Shiwei Semiconductor and Neutron Star Technology signed an agreement in the wafer factory on behalf of the two parties, and it is expected that all the acquisition funds will be remitted within one month.

The handover work was completed very smoothly, and within a few days, the Extreme Precision Department took over the wafer factory and the packaging and testing plant, and immediately began large-scale debugging and procurement of some precision instruments, to improve the current process to the limit that can be achieved, and then start to move forward to the next process.

Lasers, lenses, and mechanical accuracy are not something that can be overcome in a while, and the wafer must be upgraded from 8 inches to 12 inches and 18 inches.

Although the 8-inch specification has lower technical requirements, the pass rate that can be produced is inevitably reduced, and the reduced yield rate means that the production cost will increase.

Thinking about it this way, there are too many things to do next, and there are too few people, so it needs to be greatly expanded, and at the same time, the Elemental Evolution Department needs to be established to produce chemicals.

There are also more things to do in the personnel department......

However, when the people of the precision department and the information technology department work together to complete the industrial automation, the demand for manpower will decrease.

......

After completing the acquisition of the fab, the time entered the beginning of June.

Information Building.

Zhong Zixing worked with thousands of technicians to complete the writing of the galactic operating system in the shortest possible time, and at the same time, he was also responsible for completing the combination of all modules together with Andromeda.

The power of Chinese programming is vividly demonstrated in large-scale information engineering, because the logic is simple and efficient, dozens of times faster than English programming.

Just a few months later, the galaxy has entered its mid-to-late stages.

The kernel, drivers, and interface libraries are almost complete, and only the embedded Andromeda and peripheral programs are still in progress.

The Information Technology Department couldn't wait to do several tests and found that the Galaxy system is very strong in terms of storage allocation, sharing, and protection.

What's more, if the processor and memory of the Gemini architecture are used, the system has a qualitative improvement in the function allocation and transmission control of the device.

The combination of the two has achieved a perfect coordination between hardware and software, so that the performance of Gemini chips, which is far beyond the same process, has completely exploded!

"There is software control, which fits perfectly with the Gemini, which is ...... There has been an incredible change, it's a miracle! ”

"Hahahaha, with our help, the performance of a mid-range configuration mobile phone can be comparable to that of a top mobile phone, Niu Pi!"

The group of technicians who got the test data jumped up and down excitedly, and the entire operating system group was smiling.

Hardware and software fit perfectly, Apple is walking on this road, the project team found after testing, even Apple at this stage is far from being as strong as the galaxy operating system and Gemini chip super linkage.
