If lithography is regarded as the second major problem in modern integrated circuit devices, then there is absolutely no other technology that dares to claim the first.

The function of lithography is to project the shape of the photolithography plate onto a photoresist with only a dozen nanometers or even higher precision, so as to "copy" the circuit structure onto the silicon wafer.

The chip process is commonly known as the flat printing process, which is easy to understand and the same as printing, which is why the chip is produced in large quantities, and the larger the quantity, the cheaper.

Due to the great influence of interference and diffraction on graphic projection, the requirements for light sources and lenses are extremely high, and it can be said that the lithography machine is the most critical and difficult equipment in the production process of semiconductor chips.

The unit price of a high-end lithography machine is already a sky-high price of 100 million euros, and you have to queue up to buy it, and Huaxia is even more queuing to spend money, and people don't sell it.

This is due to the restrictions of the "Wassenaar Agreement" dominated by US imperialism, and high-end lithography machines will basically not be exported to the Chinese, and they can only buy ASML's low-end products, and no matter how high the bid is, they cannot buy the most advanced.

For example, Intel, Samsung, and TSMC were able to buy ASML10 nanometer lithography machines in 2015, while Huaxia could only buy ASML32 nanometer lithography machines in 2015.

5 years is enough for the semiconductor industry to update the market more than 3 times, plus Intel's squeezing toothpaste.

Until now, Huaxia can only buy 12 nanometer lithography machines, and in fact, the most advanced lithography machines have reached 5 nanometers, which is still three or even four generations behind.

Originally, in 2018, ASML was going to deliver a 7nm-level EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, but an "accidental" fire was stirred up, and then it was delayed, and it was delayed for more than two years.

In contrast, among the lithography machines that have been mass-produced by the best lithography machine manufacturers in China, Shangdu Microelectronics Equipment (SMEE), the best performance process can only reach 90 nanometers, which is equivalent to the level of the Pentium four CPUs listed in 2004, while foreign countries have now taken out 5 nanometer chips due to the emergence of PHC.

The gap is not a star.

Because of this, the high-end lithography machines required by domestic wafer factories are completely dependent on imports, and they have to look at the faces of foreigners.

This time, Shangdu Microelectronics also joined the Semiconductor Industry Alliance to become a member of the CSAC system, if ASML's lithography machine level is the king rank, then SMEE is a silver level, at most a gold rank can not be higher.

In fact, in Ye Hua's team, except for a few such as Huawei HiSilicon, dozens of other companies ...... To be reasonable, it's basically a bastard who paddles, just wait for the great god to lie down, and then take off.

The team is not easy to lead, and there is no better way for Ye Hua, otherwise what else can I do.

can only be short and tall, these gold and silver are relatively the best, don't have a better one, and the back group is bronze, scrap iron, and can't be counted on, even if you can shout 666, you don't bother to pay attention, just like that.

Alas, it's not easy to bring the team.

It can be said that Ye Hua's team is only one king of him, plus three masters, two of whom are still water masters, and the rest are a group of gold and silver ranks.

Then you have to take such a team and a group of teams composed of kings to PK......

It's no wonder that the outside world is not optimistic.

However, for the optimistic Ye Hua, it is not all bad, there are still good things, teammates are too vegetables, at least they know their own dishes, and they will obey the words of the gods.

……

A villa area next to the Zifeng R&D Center, Ye Hua was more frequent in the Zifeng R&D Center during this time, and naturally arranged a temporary residence here, but the time to live there was not too long.

It's night, and Ye Hua will stay on Zifeng's side tonight.

In the living room, Kitagawa Ayako made a cup of hot tea and put it on the table next to her, and then sat beside him with a curious look at him to operate the floating screen in front of him, she knew a little about technology but it was not at the professional level, after all, her specialty was not technology development, but she also saw that the holographic display in front of Ye Hua was a mathematical model.

"What is this?" Kitagawa Ayako held her chin and said casually as if bored.

"Logical Architecture." Ye Hua said a word, thought for a moment in his heart, and then looked sideways at her and smiled: "The chip design that is being conquered is reduced in size and power consumption by 98%...... Think about it, wouldn't it be brutal to use a PHC server-level chip on a watch or mobile phone? The integrated super CPU chip overturns Intel. ”

However, as soon as Ye Hua said this, she didn't care at all, and immediately changed the topic, and said coquettishly: "It's not early, go to bed." ”

She is wearing a silk nightdress, sexy and charming, and still sultry.

There was an undisguised charm here, which successfully aroused Ye Hua's appetite.

But at this moment, the phone rang, Ye Hua opened it and looked at it quite unexpectedly, it was Bob Swan, the head of Intel Corporation, called, before answering the phone, Ye Hua, who had a plan, briefly operated on the holographic display for a moment, and then looked sideways at Ayako Kitagawa: "Answer the phone first, and then have supper." ”

"I hate it~~ It's not your supper." Kitagawa Ayako is weird.

However, Ye Hua had already gotten up and left the living room and ran to the balcony to answer the phone, and suddenly, she secretly glanced at it, and immediately took out a small special USB flash drive from the heel of her high heels.

Connected to the port of PHC, quickly and skillfully called up a few floating panels, and then began to download materials.

Time passes, and the speed of 5G networks is not as fast as usual.

She also secretly glanced at the balcony from time to time, and glanced at the past every second or two, and Ye Hua's unclear conversation came from the balcony, as if she was arguing fiercely with the other end of the phone.

"Hurry up, hurry up ......" Kitagawa Ayako is very weak now, and finally waited for an opportunity, Haoya bit her lower lip and muttered in her heart, at this moment she could feel her fluttering heart.

She understands legal affairs, and she understands the laws of Huaxia, and knows that if this matter is revealed, she could face more than 20 years in prison and a fine of more than $100 million, either of which she cannot afford.

On the balcony, Ye Hua said into the communicator: "...... Mr. Swan, you want me to dismantle the CSAC system? I'm sorry, but I'm sorry. Everything else can be discussed, this issue is not negotiable, I have to give an explanation to my partners...... You say they will be forced to quit automatically due to force majeure? That's not much to say, that's their business. ”

The other end of the phone: "Unfortunately, we had to deal with it accordingly...... Listen to Mr. Ye, we really don't need to be so stiff, you really overreacted to this matter recently, the news will soon subside, and the matter will be settled, the most ......"

Before Bob finished speaking, Ye Hua hung up the phone directly and walked to the living room, his eyes fell on Ayako Kitagawa and sat down in his original position, Ayako Kitagawa next to him was as quiet as a virgin, as always.

Ye Hua suddenly patted her buttocks: "Go and warm the bed, I want to eat hot." ”

"Obey~~" Kitagawa Ayako threw a charming sultry look at her coquettishly, but she also got up obediently and walked to the bedroom.

Watching her leave the living room, Ye Hua retracted his gaze and immediately called up a display panel, entered the hidden background, and a string of information came into his eyes, and the data record showed that the "TSI" file was downloaded once a minute ago.

Ye Hua couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and sighed secretly: "This sexy stunner is really not polite to me, a full 47.5 G of information." ”

is really good at seizing opportunities, as long as she is given a chance, she will definitely take advantage of the opportunity, and she is also very bold.

Interrupting the link to the private server in the cloud and turning off the holographic display, Ye Hua got up and walked to the bedroom, he couldn't bear to steal so many things, he had to punish her harshly.

Xiao Hua, who hasn't eaten for a few weeks, eats directly into Fang Hua tonight's supper...
