Chapter 228: Misalignment of Attack and Defense

Intel President Craig frowned, and said to the representative of Qualcomm in a heavy tone: "Correct, it's less than $550!" According to the latest news, Infinity has lowered the selling price by about $50! Now, not to mention our America, even Europe, there are many people who are moved. ”

"I have just received a notification that the French side has decided to import PU produced by some infinity companies on the basis of independent research and development for equipment upgrades. @精华\/Shuge Error-free Debut~~"

β€œ****!” The semiconductor contractors in the conference room were in a collective uproar and couldn't help but scold anymore!

Huaxia Company is a bastard! Especially Infinity Company, that bastard named Chen Jie is even more bastard!

Many people believe that Chen Jie is the real controller of Infinity Company, because people are more willing to believe that his age can make this kind of "achievement".

Their offer is already staggeringly low, and they will reduce the price again, and let their peers live!

Originally, semiconductor contractors in the United States had a chance to regain the market if they upgraded their processes and worked hard to reduce costs.

But if this continues, they will not even want to eat meat, even bones, or even soup.

Because the other party is about to turn the pot up!

Price war is a business behavior that all industry personnel are most unwilling to accept.

But it is also often the most effective for people who come from behind and want to enter the industry.

If these old semiconductor companies cannot open the technology gap with each other in a short period of time, they can only passively get involved in the whirlpool of price wars until one of them completely withdraws from the market.

In the future, the whole world will use their cheap PU, will they be able to gradually penetrate and slowly control the world's computer market by providing accessories and other methods?

Isn't this dumping? Occupy the market by dumping?!

And this, absolutely intolerable to the United States!

But for these semiconductor contractors, it's not an intolerable problem, it's even more incredible.

The purpose of dumping is to occupy the market at a low price.

Over the years, Huaxia has done this, and some cheap clothes, shoes, and light industrial products have been transported to the United States at extremely low postage to occupy the American market.

But it doesn't matter.

Because these are low-end manufacturing industries, there is no technical content.

The American people, even some enjoyment, can buy a good quality shirt for only two or three dollars.

But now, in the field of semiconductors, as the crystallization of the most high-tech technology in human beings, Infinity has sold it to the price of a pair of inverted shoes.

This is unbearable for them.

Infinity companies, their costs must be very high!

Even every time a whole machine is sold, they will lose money several times the selling price, how long can they sell it at such a low price?

Infinity Inc., why hasn't it gone bankrupt yet?

Craig, the president of Intel, a professional manager who knows little about technology, asked a representative of TSMC: "The eight-inch processing technology is very poor, I remember that we used the ten-inch manufacturing technology a long time ago." ”

"No, no! Mr. Craig, the so-called how many inches of processing technology is not the main basis for measuring technology, this only means that we can process the silicon crystal slices with a diameter of ten inches, because the diameter is larger than eight inches, so a single silicon crystal slice, the number of chips that can be produced at a time, is much more than the eight-inch process. ”

"Because we process a large number of chips at one time, we can relatively save the processing process and better share the cost." The representative of TSMC explained in plain words as much as possible.

"That's right, Mr. Craig, the level of semiconductor technology refers to how many processes are used to manufacture, and its technical indicators are usually expressed in how many micrometers and nanometers."

"Like us in the United States, in some low-level electrical products, we are using 360 nanometer technology, and in the late 80s,. (This chapter is not finished!) )

The 240nm technology is mature for commercial applications, and the 158nm technology that we use today. ”

"In other words, we can now mature for commercial use, and the smallest unit that can be processed is 158 nanometers." The representative of Company A also patiently explained to him.

Intel President Craig nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked: "So, according to what you said, in the existing ten-inch wafer production, the potential has been tapped to the extreme, and it can't be improved, so can a larger diameter wafer production line be used to reduce costs?" ”

"For example, transform your production line into 12 inches, or 14 inches, or even 16 inches?"

The contractors were stunned on the spot.

After being silent for a while, a representative of TSMC said: "This... Theoretically, this is indeed an option, but it also has many difficulties, such as production line costs. _o_m ”

"To rebuild from 10 inches to 12 inches, this cost can already rebuild a new production line, and, with the improvement of technical processing difficulty, now a 12-inch production line, the total investment will cost about 3 billion US dollars...."

The representative of General Motors, afraid that he would not understand, said from another angle: "President Craig, the wafer rod we want to process has a characteristic, that is, the larger the diameter, the more edge impurities will be when it is cut. ”

"Therefore, before the improvement of the wafer manufacturing process, we can not achieve the ideal effect of the utilization of large-size wafers, and if we want to make full use of it, we must carry out secondary processing on the cut wafer wafer, so that the surface of the wafer can grow a layer of crystal, and the semiconductor unit is manufactured on this crystal."

"Of course, as you can imagine, this adds to another cost."

The representative of Qualcomm coughed twice, attracting the attention of the audience, he said: "If you want to reduce the cost, the main thing is the yield rate, as long as the yield rate goes up, the cost will naturally come down, so the use of mature technology is the key to solving the problem." ”

"If we take a step back and adopt 180 nanometer technology, this yield rate can reach more than 50 percent, and the cost can be greatly reduced."

"How can this be! How will other people perceive us when we use more backward technology to make products? Intel President Craig pushed his chair and stood up.

A god-level trader of rebirth.
