Chapter 129: I Just Want to Ask: Is This Science?
Seeing this scene, people became more impressed with Lin Xuan, and the yield rate of 90-nanometer chips doubled to 15% in one day.
It only took one day to create such a miracle, and if Zhongxin International wanted to increase the yield rate of 90 nanometers from 7 percent to 15 percent.
I am afraid that the amount of money spent will reach at least tens of millions, which means that it will take more than 20 or even 30 or 40 times to achieve such results.
And Lin Xuan gave some suggestions for transformation, which directly increased the yield rate of the chip to a terrifying level of 15%.
To create such an achievement, Lin Xuan was not arrogant at this time, but had a calm face, and when they saw Lin Xuan's appearance at this time, they suddenly became more admired.
"Mr. Lin, thank you very much."
Professor Chen suddenly came to Lin Xuan's face, and then bowed deeply, his face full of gratitude.
Lin Xuan's achievements on this day have undoubtedly saved tens of millions of funds for Zhongxin International and saved at least two months of trial production time!
It has improved the progress of the official mass production of Zhongxin International's 90-nanometer chips, which is for Zhongxin International, which is now in financial distress.
It was no less than getting a lifebuoy when he fell into the water, so Professor Chen bowed slowly, deeply grateful to Lin Xuan.
"Professor Chen has an overreputation, and now it is only 15 percent, and at this point of yield, Zhongxin International Production is still in a state of loss, and can turn losses into profits and make money in mass production."
The yield rate of only 15 percent is not enough to meet Lin Xuan's requirements, and Lin Xuan's goal is not just 15 percent.
"Can you continue to improve your yield?"
At this time, Jiang Haizhou, vice president of Zhongxin International, looked at Lin Xuan with a shocked face.
"That's right, this is just the first step of testing, and I'll go around the production line and come up with some suggestions for improvement."
Looking at Lin Xuan's surging smile, the scene was instantly shocked!
Lin Xuan can even improve the yield rate?!
Yesterday, Zhongxin International carried out a small transformation of the equipment and improved the process steps according to Lin Xuan's requirements.
As a result, it only increased by seven percent in one day, so wait for the second transformation according to what Lin Xuan said, what kind of effect is that?
Thinking of this, people looked at Lin Xuan in shock, with disbelief written in their eyes!
"Then I'll get busy first."
In the shock and horror of the people, Lin Xuan waved his hand at Professor Yang, ready to pretend to take a look at the production line, and then write out various transformation opinions.
"Okay."
Faced with Lin Xuan's desire to improve and improve the yield rate, Professor Yang naturally nodded hurriedly.
Originally, he was going to invite Lin Xuan to eat and drink a good meal, but he didn't expect that Lin Xuan was not satisfied with the fifteen percent increase in yield.
I even want to continue to put forward improvement suggestions today, and continue to improve the yield rate of 90 nanometers.
In this case, Professor Chen naturally nodded ecstatically and agreed.
……
It didn't take long for the reporters to learn from Professor Chen, who walked out of the factory, that Lin Xuan had only taken one day.
For the 90 nanometer yield rate increased by 7 percent, the current 90 nanometer yield rate increased to 15 percent.
As soon as the news came out, the reporters on the scene were in an uproar!
Really?
Lin Xuan gave a reform opinion yesterday, but it only took a day.
Zhongxin International's yield rate increased by 7% overnight, reaching 15%, is this true or false? Is this scientific?
Hundreds of reporters at the scene showed shocked expressions.
But soon, their shock turned into surprise in an instant, and at the same time, they frantically pulled the camera in their hands!
In the evening of the same day, major newspapers and Internet media reported in the form of news headlines that Zhongxin International's yield rate had broken through to 15% in one day!
As soon as this news came out, he suddenly forcibly remembered a fire for the fading heat, and in an instant, countless people in Great Xia stopped what they were doing and looked at those reports carefully.
When they knew that Lin Xuan had really made an important contribution to the yield rate of 90-nanometer chips.
In just one day, the yield rate of Zhongxin International's 90-nanometer chips increased from 7 percent to 15 percent, and they all showed shocked expressions.
Really?
So Lin Xuan really has a wealth of knowledge in the electronics industry, and he has made a huge contribution to the yield rate of chips in one day?
At this time, after so many days of media bombardment, people have a little understanding of the yield rate of chips.
Know that there are actually thousands of processes in the chip, and each process will have an important impact on the final chip yield.
At this time, from Lin Xuan's shot to the present, it was only a day and a half to increase the yield rate of Zhongxin International's 90-nanometer chips by 7%, reaching 15%, and they were shocked and shocked.
So with the announcement of this news, reporters from all over the country have been dispatched!
They were divided into several parts, and the most important part was to go to Zhongxin International to wait for the latest news.
The other part is to go to Sichuan Province to interview Hantang Technology, or go to Boning City to interview Xu Hua, who had mocked Lin Xuan before.
Or go to Bay Island to interview Cai Jie of Lianyu Branch or TSMC Store, which is also the overlord of the daigou industry.
It's just that this time they don't know if it's bad luck or what, no matter which of the bosses who had mocked Lin Xuan before, they couldn't find any of them, as if they were all hiding.
……
Hantang Technology, at this time, Ni Guangnan put down the newspaper in his hand, and there was a relieved expression in his eyes.
Lin Xuan was really able to put forward various suggestions on the yield rate of chips, and the effect was not bad, just one day to double the yield rate of Zhongxin International, reaching 15%.
At this time, Ni Guangnan had confidence that Lin Xuan wanted to rely on a one-stop solution to defeat Lian Yuke and defeat Podao mobile phone!
……
Bay Island, Hsinchu Industrial Park, in the office of the president of TSMC stores, the core of the entire Hsinchu Industrial Park.
"Dongdong."
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Chen Damou inside said softly, and soon, his female secretary walked in with a graceful body, and at this time she had a trace of worry on her face:
"Boss, there's the latest news from Zhongxin International, which you asked me to focus on."
"Hmm."
Chen Damou hummed softly, then took the newspaper handed over by the female secretary and looked down at it.
"What?!"
The newspaper in Chen Damou's hand could no longer hold it and fell on the table.
What did he see?!
He saw Zhongxin International, the strongest opponent of TSMC, which is currently the world's fourth largest chip foundry company.
They were able to increase their 90-nanometer process from 7 percent to 15 percent in one day.
"How is this possible?!"
Chen Damou showed a shocked and surprised expression!
Before founding TSMC, Chen Damou had worked for many years at Dezhou Instruments, and he was also an entrepreneur who came up from the front line.
So he even knows how difficult it is to improve the yield rate of chips, and he led the team to improve the yield rate of Texas Instruments in the US Empire, which was really a road of blood and sweat.
At this time, although he founded TSMC, he also broke away from his front-line position and became the leader of TSMC.
And although TSMC has a top talent named Liang Guoshi, even so, improving the yield rate of chips is also a road of blood and sweat.
Although TSMC claims to have mastered the 45nm process technology and achieved mass production of chips, mastery is mastery.
Although TSMC has mastered the 45-nanometer process technology, the yield rate of 45-nanometer chips is also very worrying, with a yield rate of less than 38%.
Just like Zhongxin International now, they claim to have mastered the 90-nanometer process technology, but the actual mass production is indeed a problem.
They are like Zhongxin International, which can't make money at all when producing 90-nanometer chips, and the production is a loss!
If you don't produce that kind of expensive chip, it will be difficult to mass-produce 45nm chips!
Unless there is an old man for TSMC to bear the loss of this improved process to improve the yield rate, otherwise in the current state of TSMC stores.
"Heaven Descends"
Mass production will not be available until the end of 2005 at the earliest.
But at this time, Chen Damou didn't know that he was thinking too much, because according to history, shortly after the new year passed, that is, next year, there would be a high-level incident in TSMC!
Because according to history, Chen Damou will resign from the position of CEO in a few months!
High hanging in the air!
According to the history of the previous life, TSMC would have carried out a high-level incident of high-level power struggle.
Subsequently, Liang Guoshi, who is now responsible for improving the yield rate, a talent in the field of chip production and manufacturing, will eventually be refrigerated by TSMC due to the unsatisfactory position of the top, and will be transferred to a position that has nothing to do with improving the process technology!
With the transfer of Liang Guoshi, the mass production of 45nm at TSMC was naturally delayed.
Historically, TSMC stores finally reached the yield rate of 45nm mass production in 2007.
It can be seen that the high-level incident of TSMC a few months later had a serious impact on the manufacturing process of TSMC, which directly delayed the landing of 45nm for nearly 2 years!
And this is not the most serious, because this high-level incident caused Liang Guoshi's competition for the position of vice president of R&D to be refrigerated, and Liang Guoshi was also disheartened.
Historically, Liang joined Sanxing Electronics after leaving TSMC in 2009.
After joining Sanxing Electronics, it can only be said that Liang Guoshi is worthy of Liang Guoshi, and he directly let Sanxing Electronics surpass TSMC's 16nm in terms of process technology!
As soon as the 14nm process technology came out, it directly snatched the chip orders from Paste Tong and Apple, which belonged to TSMC stores, which made TSMC stores grit their teeth with hatred, and then TSMC stores bit Liang Guoshi like a mad dog.
The subsequent incident was naturally that Liang Guoshi reluctantly left Sanxing Electronics, and finally joined Zhongxin International after a while.
Let the yield rate of Zhongxin International's 28-nanometer chips jump from 3% to 85%! It directly allowed Zhongxin International to take off in situ, and then made Zhongxin International's process technology jump all the way to 14 nanometers.
It can be said that a high-level incident a few months later had a far-reaching impact on TSMC.
It has even had a profound impact on the semiconductor production pattern of the entire world, especially in East Asia.
