Chapter 193: EUV Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Machine!

Neither Luo Hai nor Li Zheng, who bought A1 metal and A2 metal, realized the true value and terrifying performance of A1 metal.

The A1 Metal and A2 Metal formulas are kept strictly confidential, and it is strictly forbidden for any member of the family to discover any information without permission.

Today, the special metallurgical plant owned by Li's father is regarded as the most critical industry by the entire Li family!

The first batch of A1 metal smelted this time, after being inspected by material experts and military technicians, confirmed that the product quality was qualified, reached the performance level of the metal formula, and was being loaded and transported to the Sword Special Service Base thousands of kilometers away.

For the sake of combat aircraft, Li Tianmin has made great efforts.

However, Li Tianmin did not expect that the A1 metal developed by Luo Hai himself contained such great value and potential.

This guy is a genius!

There is enough A1 metal, as the production material of the mass-produced smart machine qìren, Luo Hai no longer has to spend time and effort to make A3 metal with time-consuming performance.

Although, A3 metal is much stronger than A1 metal.

Nuwa nodded when she heard Luo Hai's words, and then said to Luo Hai: "Well, brother, next we are going to find a room with a larger environmental space, which is used to place a series of electronic manufacturing equipment such as high-precision CNC machine tools and cutting-edge high-performance lithography machines. But before that, we have to install the assembly line of the QÌ smart machine. ”

Mass-produced the Fox Smart Machine, Luo Hai didn't want to be in the real room, day and night, manufacturing the body parts of the Fox Robot Qì people.

To this end, in addition to processing and producing the brains of the Qiangqi Intelligent Machine, Luo Hai sent the entire set of drawings of all the structural parts of the Qiangqi Intelligent Machine to the domestic military's machinery factory to produce qualified standard body parts.

Then, the entire parts are procured back, assembled by themselves, and a mass-produced smart machine is installed.

"Bigger house, well, I'll apply for a factory later." Hearing Nuwa's words, Luo Hai thought quietly and nodded,

The second floor of the Sharp Sword base is a room dedicated to the storage of industrial equipment. The space is huge, and a large number of industrial equipment and a large number of high-precision CNC machine tools are stored in each warehouse, so as to cope with the sudden outbreak of war and avoid the situation that the factory cannot be opened.

Applying for a large factory building should be able to put down a set of electronic manufacturing equipment for the production of ultra-large-scale integrated chips and an assembly line for the intelligent machine.

Luo Hai's demand for ultra-large-scale integrated chips is not large, and the output of the production line he built does not need to be too large, just to meet his needs.

50 ultra-large-scale integrated chips made of Y1 metal superconducting materials every day fully meet Luo Hai's needs.

The assembly line of the intelligent machine Qì people occupies a smaller area.

Carefully calculated, 30 meters by 30 meters of warehouse, its 900 square meters of space, should support Luo Hai to install two sets of production lines.

"It's okay, if the assembly line of the smart machine can't fit in the factory, then put it in the cave hangar, anyway, the space is big enough." Luo Hai shook his head, and then thought about how to get a cutting-edge high-performance lithography machine.

The most critical core processing equipment for ultra-large-scale integrated chips, lithography machine!

Luo Hai thought silently in his heart when Nuwa sorted out and classified the test numbers collected by Nuwa under high-intensity work:

"I don't have to worry about purification and slicing, Y1 metal is constructed from pure energy, and the purity is infinitely close to 100%. What I need, then, is a cutting-edge high-performance lithography machine that is known as the world's most sophisticated instrument known as the 'flower of the modern optical industry'. ”

Lithography machine, the core processing equipment of semiconductor manufacturing, the flower of modern optical industry, the most sophisticated instrument in the world!

A low-end lithography machine has a high price of millions of yuan. And a cutting-edge high-performance lithography machine can cost more than tens of millions of dollars.

Luo Hai thought quietly: "Nuwa, what kind of lithography machine do you think I should choose?" ”

"Brother, first of all, the characteristics of the Y1 metal material will have an impact on the liquid attack lithography machine, so we cannot guarantee its precision and accuracy. Considering the advanced and applied process, as well as the characteristics of Y1 metal materials, we need the extreme ultraviolet lithography technology from ASML in the Netherlands, which is the NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine with extreme ultraviolet lithography technology at a price of 110 million US dollars. Nuwa said Jian yì for the first time.

Due to the characteristics of Y1 metal materials, the current mainstream 193 mm wavelength liquid lithography machine will have an indelible impact on the chip when lithography, so Nuwa basically gave up the liquid invasion lithography machine.

Then, the goal is to put on the EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine developed by the scientific team of ASML in the Netherlands, one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers!

The EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is not affected by the characteristics of Y1 metal, and the 13.5nm exposure wavelength of its EUC extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is the key technology to break through the 16nm chip.

If a 16-nanometer ultra-large-scale integrated superconducting chip is used, this will definitely improve the performance of superconducting computers by several or even tens of percent.

Target - Helan ASML EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine!

"NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, this requirement is really not ordinarily high." When Luo Hai heard the information about the lithography machine given by Nuwa, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.

The NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, due to time and economic problems, has grown from $90 million a year ago to $110 million per unit!

The state-of-the-art NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine has a numerical aperture NA of 0.33 and an image resolution of 22 nm.

It can process 125 crystalline silicon wafers per hour, and the minimum continuous power of its supporting light source is 250W, and the accuracy of single machine overlay can reach 3.5 nm.

As the world's most advanced and practical ultraviolet lithography machine, the NXE-3300B is the highest level of embargoed machinery in the EU arms embargo on China and the US technical blockade on China, and it is absolutely forbidden for any extreme ultraviolet lithography machine to enter China.

Now let Luo Hai build an NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine that is not available in China, which is too difficult.

All over the world, ASML in the Netherlands has the mature technology of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, with NXW-3100 and the latest NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

"Brother, this can't be helped, the liquid invasion lithography machine with 193 mm exposure wavelength technology will cause damage to the Y1 metal when lithography, and the characteristics of the Y1 metal cannot support the operation of the liquid invasion lithography machine." Nuwa said helplessly, she didn't understand how difficult it was to get an NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

However, without the NXE-3300B extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, it is basically impossible to make ultra-large-scale integrated chips from Y1 metal without exposing Y1 metal.

"Okay, I'll try to figure it out." When Luo Hai heard this, he nodded silently, it seemed that he was going to go to Europe.

"Nuwa, you calculate the number by yourself, I'll apply for a warehouse."

After resting for a few minutes, Nuwa had sorted out and sorted all the test numbers of the entire high-intensity working state, and found all kinds of questions from them, Luo Hai said to Nuwa, then got up and left room 03, closed the door and prepared to go to the resource management department to apply for a warehouse.

With Li Tianmin's green light to Luo Hai, the Resource Management Department quickly passed Luo Hai's application requirements and successfully obtained a high-precision CNC machine tool warehouse that can be used for industrial production at any time.

After the warehouse application was successful, Luo Hai then began to call one military factory after another, placed a down payment of 30% of the deposit, and ordered the assembly line of the Qiqi smart machine.

After placing orders for several military factories, Luo Hai took his own warehouse key, followed the passage ladder to find the warehouse numbered 02, opened the alloy door, and placed fifteen high-precision CNC machine tools reasonably and neatly, and then entered Luo Hai's sight.

For the most critical high-precision CNC machine tools in the equipment manufacturing industry, Luo Hai categorically will not move them, which also has a great effect on him.

The warehouse area of 900 square meters, minus the area occupied by these fifteen high-precision CNC machine tools, accommodates a chip production line with scarce output and an assembly production line of the intelligent machine, without any problem.

Ready, only the east wind is owed!
