Chapter 5: Mysterious Mail

"At present, the only way is to spend money, at all costs, to break through the bottleneck of high-end chips and realize the supply of independent chips."

"This is also the final decision that has been discussed by the headquarters, and we have specially invited Professor Long, an expert in this area, to give relevant guidance."

"It may be a tough battle, and I don't know how long it will take, but it seems to be the only option right now."

The heavy words fell, and Shen Qiuyuan looked at everyone present, everyone had a different kind of thought in their hearts.

It's easy to say, if you want a high-end chip, it's just a matter of one sentence, but it's really that easy to do.

Not to mention anything else, there is not even a high-end lithography machine, is it possible to make high-end chips?

"The chip manufacturing industry chain is very long, involving a lot of parts, and at present, no country in the world can completely independently produce all the parts needed in the chip manufacturing process."

At this time, Gao Xiaolong, who was sitting on the side of the conference room, spoke, he actually understood the purpose of this meeting, but there are some things that should be said as a technical director, after all, someone must always put ugly words in front, "I will say that most of the components of the world's most advanced chip manufacturers, such as TSMC, Samsung, and Intel, are purchased externally, which can greatly improve their production efficiency." ”

"Including some of the current mainstream chip manufacturing factories in major countries, like SMIC, Huahong, many of their parts are also purchased from outside."

"For example, the most typical is some lithography machines, most of which are purchased externally, and there are some core components, many of which also rely on external imports."

"Completely independent as Director She's ...... you said"

"To be honest, I think it's whimsical."

After finishing speaking, Gao Xiaolong relaxed his body, leaned directly on the back of the seat, and flexibly turned the pen with his right hand.

Everyone looked at each other, and then Gao Haifeng, the production director, waved his hand and said with a sneer, "Alas, Mr. Xiaolong, what you said is right, and it is not right." After all, it is a strategic deployment, and it is also the way that must be taken, and it is always to be done, so how can you be afraid of these difficulties before you start. And didn't Huhai's microelectronics say it on the news before, they are already working on a 28nm lithography machine. If the 28-nanometer lithography machine is successfully produced, 90% of the chip manufacturing in the big countries will be self-sufficient. ”

Gao Xiaolong snorted coldly, "Hayes also announced that he is ready to manufacture and produce 5nm chips." But you look at the present, is there a little? ”

Gao Haifeng was speechless.

"I think Haifeng is right, forge ahead and catch up, this is the consciousness that we Hayes people should have." The people around him chimed in.

Vice President He Qingsong also bowed slightly, "Hmm." He made a statement.

Long Weiguo's face was deep and he didn't speak.

Gao Xiaolong just smiled, his expression still relaxed.

This is actually one singing red face and the other singing white face.

Whether it is Gao Haifeng or Vice President He Qingsong, in fact, they all know that this kind of strategy is impossible to complete, but it is a high-level meeting, and it is an instruction from the headquarters.

You have to say that at this stage, 5nm chip packaging is not impossible.

If you don't have a high-end lithography machine, you can't mold it at one time, so you can expose the wafer a few more times, and it's not impossible, but in terms of quality, it can't keep up with the production efficiency.

But there is always an explanation.

Anyway, the people above are going to make some big noise, so that the leader knows that they are not idle.

When this meeting was over, Long Weiguo was not in a hurry to return to Beijing University of Science and Technology, after all, he still had to guide the work.

He actually has nothing to say about this Hayes internal meeting, and he has a long way to go to evaluate it.

As usual, Long Weiguo was dealing with emails on his computer after returning to the hotel arranged by Hayes.

Although checking your email is a tedious task, many important work items require him to guide your decision-making.

Generally, he chooses to hand over unimportant documents to the people under him.

"It's ...... Drawings of some parts of 1.5nm lithography machine laser? ”

Seeing the title of the email, Long Weiguo laughed absurdly.

Laser, that is, light source, is one of the core equipment of lithography machine.

At present, most of the applications in the market are mainly fiber lasers, which are also the light source generators of the most mainstream laser equipment, and have an unshakable position in the field of laser equipment.

It can be said that lasers are one of the cores of lithography machines.

He was a little displeased.

As a professor at Beijing University of Science and Technology, his students often send him emails to guide research and the like, so his emails are not secret, even if they are people outside the school, they can find them with some effort.

Of course, the average person can't be so boring, so I hardly ever receive any spam.

But isn't the title of this email clearly deliberately tricking him?

Originally, Long Weiguo wanted to throw this email directly into the trash, but he wanted to see it.

"That's it, I guess one of the students under my command wants to make a joke."

"I want to know what's in there."

Long Weiguo clicked in, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look directly makes Long Weiguo sluggish.

The content of the drawings is very detailed and very professional, just a first glance, you can see something.

And this closer look is even more incredible.

This one, dozens of pages of drawings, is actually all process drawings of disk lasers.

The various annotations are extremely detailed, and even the design of a screw is presented.

However, what really suffocated him was not that the content of the email was true.

It's that the technology of the content display is very advanced!

It is important to know that the photoelectric conversion rate of fiber and disk laser is almost between 30% and 35%, and the output power is also between 0W and 20KW.

From the perspective of beam quality, the continuous output of 200W in the field of small power is still a certain advantage of fiber lasers, but in the field of high power above 200W, such as cutting, welding and other fields, it is the solid-state laser of disk that has more advantages.

As far as Long Weiguo knows about the German TRUMPF, take a single disc 6KW as an example, its beam quality has reached 6mm*mrad, which will have more technical barriers than the 10,000-watt IPG laser market and master the high-end market!

This is mainly because the disk laser directly solves the bottleneck of the traditional solid-state laser, even in the case of high power, the beam quality is still not bad, and the photoelectric conversion rate is high, and the cost consumption is low, so that it plays an indispensable role in the industrial field.

In the field of laser processing in ultra-short pulse and ultrafast applications, disc is still superior to optical fiber.

And the disk laser presented in this drawing is actually half the quality of the speed of light of the German TRUMPF! Reached 3mm*mrad!

It can be said that this is not only a breakthrough in lithography lasers in the world, but also a great contribution to other industries!

"It's definitely a talent!"
