Chapter 166 130nm process

"Well, I'll go to contact Moto Gongla next and try to buy it for about 10 billion, 120 or even 13 billion is too exaggerated."

Hearing Rebus's words, Lin Chen also nodded lightly and said:

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, although there is not much hope, but do your best.

Every 100 million yuan saved can be an extra 100 million R&D funds, and every 100 million more R&D funds we can be stronger in the future, so try your best to do it. ”

"Yes."

Rebus nodded again in understanding.

Seeing this, the mood of other people at the scene was also different.

Some people feel that the pressure is great, and some people feel that Shuguang Technology is a little reckless, carrying a big burden that may make them bankrupt at any time.

But in any case, they knew that since Lin Chen had made up his mind, he would just do his best to do this well.

So whatever their mindset is, they've decided to give it their all.

At this time, Lin Chen turned his head to look at Li Qianqiang, the sales director in charge of Shuguang mobile phone sales affairs, and said:

"Has the overseas sales of Shuguang mobile phones been completed?"

This matter is in charge of Rebus and Li Qianqiang, Lin Chen has been focusing all his energy on the Shuguang R&D Center during this time, and is using his rich knowledge and the virtual laboratory of the King of Copycats system to solve many problems for the R&D Center.

Therefore, it is not clear what the specific situation of Shuguang mobile phone sales has become, and which country it is ready to sell first.

"At present, the license to sell Shuguang mobile phones in overseas countries has been approved, and distributors have also been found overseas, and our sales department is planning to officially sell them on March 25 after advertising in overseas markets."

"That's it."

Lin Chen nodded lightly in approval.

This mobile phone is not something you can sell abroad if you want to sell it abroad, if you want to sell it abroad, then you have to obtain a sales license and corresponding documents in the country.

Therefore, although Sugon Technology has released the Sugon F1 mobile phone and the Sugon A1 puls mobile phone early, with the progress of those foreign offices, it will not take more than a month to get the sales license and corresponding documents at this time.

"Rebus, then this matter will be handed over to you, the overseas sales of Shuguang mobile phones are related to whether we can be favored by the bank, and then decide whether to lend us a loan to buy a chip factory, so you have to go all out in this matter."

"yes, I see."

Rebus nodded lightly in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded lightly and fell into deep thought.

Now that it has been decided to take out a loan to buy a chip factory, it will be necessary to decide what process technology will be used for Sugon's mobile phone chips.

First of all, according to the external market situation, at the beginning of this year, the Texas Instruments mobile phone processor with OMAP 1 architecture was officially released OMAP1710 using the latest 90nm process technology.

Among them, this OMAP1710 processor is the upgraded version of the current Sugon F1 mobile phone and the OMAP710 mobile phone processor of Sugon A1 puls.

If OMAP710 is just a first-generation product that has just been born for a short time, with weak performance and imperfect functions, then OMAP1710 is a product that is officially perfect and has super performance.

Historically, Nokia has liked to use this processor, and there are more than a dozen mobile phone models using this processor.

For example, Nokia 6630, 6680, 6681, E50, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, N70, N71, N72, N73, N80, N90, N91 and N92, so this processor is really quite classic.

Among them, the mobile phone processor of this OMAP1710 uses 90nm process technology, which is actually quite advanced in the current era.

Because the world's most advanced process technology for small-scale mass production is only 90 nanometers, and the official time for the 90 nanometers of the Bay Island TSMC store is also at the beginning of March.

As for the birth of the next generation of 65nm process technology, it will have to wait until 2005.

Therefore, the 90nm process technology used in this OMAP1710 processor is actually very advanced, and the 90nm process technology will definitely be mainstream in the next year or two.

But it's a pity that this 90nm process technology Shuguang Technology has no way to obtain, because as a 90nm process technology that was officially announced this year and mass-produced on a small scale, its production cost is too high.

Declaring a breakthrough and being able to mass produce on a small scale does not mean that it can be mass-produced, and small-scale mass production is a different concept from large-scale mass production.

Because small-scale mass production means ultra-high production costs, and ultra-high production costs mean huge losses.

The reason for the loss is the yield problem, and it is a joke to think about mass production until the yield problem is solved.

Waiting for the 90nm process process to solve the yield problem, according to common sense, there is no hope for half a year or even a year.

The same is true of subsequent generations, although 90 nanometers made a breakthrough in 2003 and can be mass-produced on a small scale.

But in fact, in the second half of 2003, 90nm processors were not actually mainstream, because 90nm processors were too expensive.

The time for the 90nm process to be mass-produced was in 2004 and 2005.

Therefore, it is not a wise choice to use 90nm process technology to develop mobile phone chips, and even if 90nm is designed, the production capacity cannot keep up with the needs of Sugon Technology.

Second, the price of production is too expensive, which is not something that consumers can afford.

If Sugon Technology really wants to use the 90nm process technology, it is normal for the purchase price of a single chip to exceed 700 yuan.

Therefore, although the 90nm process technology is very advanced, Shuguang Technology really can't afford it, it is not suitable to use it, it is not necessary, and it is estimated that it is also difficult to use it.

Although the wool comes from the sheep, Sugon Technology can transfer the cost of expensive chips to consumers.

But consumers are not stupid, how can they buy mobile phones when they are so expensive?

In this case, Sugon Technology has only two choices, the first is to either use the 130nm process technology of the previous generation to develop mobile phone chips, or use the mature 180nm process technology of the previous generation to develop mobile phone chips.

"What is the process of the chip factory in Tianljin?"

Lin Chen asked about Rebus.

Rebus pondered for a moment and said:

"At present, they can mass-produce 350 nanometers and 180 nanometers, among which they also have a 130 nanometer chip production line, but they are limited by the problem of yield rate and cannot be mass-produced."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's hand fell into contemplation when he put his hand on his chin, and then quickly made a decision:

"In this case, then we will use the 130nm process technology to develop chips in the future."

Lin Chen finally made up his mind.

Although the gap between 130nm and 90nm is too big, it seems that the Sugon mobile phone chip can't beat the 90nm OMAP1710 by relying on 130nm, but how do you know if you don't try?
