Peter Bernard, who was panicked, couldn't help but shout on the spot: "Damn the magnesium people, I knew that such a blockade would only accelerate the speed of their technological explosion and breakthrough!" ”

A series of blockade measures formulated by North America in order to crack down on Xingyu Technology have accelerated the research and development of domestic lithography machines.

Peter Bernard now understands the light source scheme of the new micro semiconductor company, the output power of the accelerator is greater than 1KW, and this whimsical "evil way" can only stay at the PPT level under normal circumstances, at most only in the laboratory.

However, the new microsemiconductor, which has received massive financial support and almost all the resources that can be given, has launched the idea of saturation research and development, so that it can be quickly implemented, no matter what way, give me the horse, not afraid of your whimsical nor afraid of how wild your path is, I am afraid that you do not have the courage to go on.

At present, the new micro-semiconductor is to drive multiple routes at the same time, knocking to the death.

There is the orthodox route, that is, the ASML route;

There is a joint project with the Institute of Intelligent Machines of Xincheng University and the University of Science and Technology, which is characterized by replacing the light source with X-rays;

There is also the current "wild road" plan with a major breakthrough, which is characterized by a miracle.

Isn't it difficult to miniaturize the light source? But there is no law of physics that says that light sources must be miniaturized, right?

Magnify! Power up! Then the light source is directly elongated, and there is no need to dim the ultra-long distance, so that the light of different wavelengths can directly tune itself out, and then find the light source of the corresponding wavelength.

This means turning the lithography machine into a lithography factory, first building a super-power light source, and then directing the light source to the chip factory, which is equivalent to building a steam factory if you can't build a steam engine, and then transporting the steam to the factory in need through pipelines.

If this path is successful, it will directly overturn the previous routes.

Of course, the risk can also be said to be the biggest among all routes, but no matter how big the risk is, it can't be stuck in someone's neck.

Peter Bernard was shocked by this matter, this is the rhythm of the lithography machine to the point of madness, and it can be said that it will cost nothing to break through the technology.

In the future, this kind of "lithography factory" with several or even dozens or hundreds of units of an accelerated light source, Peter Bernard feels more and more that it is likely to be the key to surpassing ASML in the lithography machine of the eastern powers.

At this moment, the president of ASML, under the introduction of the technical specialist, has figured out the general principle of this "evil path" of the new microsemiconductor.

Because ASML's lithography machines need to be marketed all over the world and need to be transported over long distances, the lithography machine cannot be too large, and the light source of the lithography machine must also be miniaturized.

The idea of the new micro semiconductor is that it can't be sold anyway, and it doesn't expect to be sold abroad, so it is simply treated as an infrastructure and used it completely by itself.

Directly divide a large piece of territory, level up a super-large high-energy light source, as soon as it is turned on, it is the same as the start of the Death Star of "Star Wars" on the horse, a high-energy light source flies multiple lithography factories, what process accuracy of the light source is needed, and you can find the corresponding output port on it.

……

Fang Hong took the initiative to release some rumors about this matter, but he didn't just want to stimulate the opponent, and it soon took effect, the contradictions and differences within the sanctions groups in Europe and the United States suddenly became bigger and bigger.

For example, the lithography machine giant ASML can't sit still now.

Once the eastern powers break through, and break through with this "evil way" that finds another way, the future of ASML is absolutely dark, although the current ASML does not rely on selling lithography machines to manufacturers in the eastern countries to make a living, relying on things to sell to other so-called allies.

But don't forget that the world's largest chip consumer market is in the Greater China market.

When the domestic lithography machine technology of the eastern big country breaks through, the future chips will be directly engaged in the mainland, and foreign manufacturers will have no orders, how to share their R & D costs? If they can't sell their products, will they buy your ASML lithography machine? If your lithography machine can't be sold, how can the cost be recovered? Do you dare to continue to spend money on research and development?

At that time, if you don't throw money, you will die, and if you do, you will die faster, and there will only be a dead end, and it is no wonder that Peter Bernard is in a hurry now.

In the afternoon, he held an impromptu video conference with the members of the North American Semiconductor Association to discuss the breakthrough of the Eastern powers in the field of lithography machines.

Shortly after the meeting, Peter Bernard gave an interview to a local media outlet whose tone turned 180 degrees, saying: "There is little hope of trying to isolate the Chinese to curb their technological development, they have 1.4 billion people, and there are many smart people." They can think of solutions that we haven't thought of, and lockdown them will only force them to innovate. They work harder, more focused, and faster, and we're so self-righteous......"

……

Saturday, November 15th, afternoon.

At this moment, Fang Hong, who was sitting in the living room, was holding a tablet in his hand and sliding on the screen, he was browsing an information report quoted by CCTV News.

In an interview with a media outlet, the president of the North American Semiconductor Association said: "North American semiconductor companies cannot be absent from the Greater China market, which is our largest market, and we are not the only industry that has made this proposition. The Greater China market is very important to the North American chip industry, and in addition to being an important customer of North American chip companies, it also plays an important role in the supply chain......"

After a while, Fang Hong browsed a report interviewed by the president of ASML, and after reading it for a while, he suddenly glanced at the beautiful assistant next to him and smiled: "I smell compromise between the lines, but I still like to see their unruly appearance before." ”

At this time, Tian Jiayi couldn't help but say with a smile: "The collection of speeches by a number of manufacturers associations of European and American semiconductors in recent times is almost a perfect reproduction of DABDA. ”

Fang Hong moved the tablet in his hand away, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

Tian Jiayi immediately replied: "In 1969, Elizabeth Rose, a Swiss-born psychologist of Magnesium origin, in her book "Wheel of Dying and Death", for the first time divided human grief into five stages when facing a major moment, namely: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, abbreviated as DABDA. ”

Hearing the beautiful assistant say this, Fang Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, it does have that smell." ”

Looking back at the relevant news since this year, this is really the case, for example, at the beginning, the president of ASML swore ruthlessly that even if you were given complete drawings, you would not be able to build a lithography machine; Then he said that it is unlikely that the Chinese will independently develop top-level lithography technology, but they will definitely try; After that, he angrily said that Huaguo's self-developed lithography machine was destroying the global chip industry chain......

In the last two days, it has begun to be said that it is absolutely necessary for ASML to enter the Greater China market.

And the president of the North American Semiconductor Association next door also jumped out and said that North American semiconductor companies cannot be absent from the Greater China market.

ASML President Peter Bernard yesterday reversed his previous rebelliousness and said in frustration that "we are too self-righteous".

Looking at their recent speeches, isn't it a perfect reproduction of DABDA, from denial to anger, to compromise, to frustration, to acceptance.

Now it's time for the final "acceptance" stage.

But I have to say that if the key technologies of the semiconductor industry chain such as chips and lithography machines are broken through in China, it will be a major disaster for them.
