Chapter 447: High-end photoresists
As for what that big move is?
That big move is that they officially announced that the Meditech Semiconductor Alliance will cooperate to jointly develop the 45nm process technology and the next generation of 32nm process technology!
As soon as this news came out, it naturally triggered a big sensation and heated discussion in the global media again.
After all, this has just been established for a long time, and it is actually almost equivalent to the super alliance composed of global Amid semiconductor companies.
At this time, they announced that they would work together to develop the next generation of 45nm technology and the next generation of 32nm process technology.
This also means that in the coming time, the process will be progressed faster, and it may break Moore's Law.
After all, more people is more powerful, and after many semiconductor companies around the world join forces, the speed of research and development will naturally be accelerated.
Maybe it will take a year and a half or even a year to complete the development of the next generation of process technology, which is really good for consumers around the world.
So as soon as these news came out, they directly caused a sensation in the global media and made countless people excited.
They excitedly claimed that the Semiconductor Alliance is a great alliance, and its birth will greatly promote the development of the semiconductor industry, accelerate the change of human life, and make human life better.
And such exuberant remarks were almost the mainstream of the world in the following time, and even the same remarks were made on the side of Great Xia.
After all, not to mention anything else, the Meditech Semiconductor Alliance will jointly develop the next generation of process technology.
It will surely speed up the implementation time of the next generation of process technology, and finally let everyone enjoy more powerful computers or mobile phones and even game consoles!
Of course, the establishment of the Meditech Semiconductor Alliance is not all welcome and praise, and many people are even quite disgusted with the Meditech Semiconductor Alliance.
Because after the establishment of the Meditech Semiconductor Alliance, the landing time of 45nm process technology and 32nm process technology will be greatly accelerated.
Considering the 65nm chip manufacturing process of Sugon Technology, I don't know when it will be launched now.
With the news that the Medico Semiconductor Alliance has joined forces to develop 45nm process technology and 32nm process technology, this will once again widen the gap between Eastern and Western semiconductor process technology.
In the face of this situation, how can this not make people worry about the future of Sugon Technology and Daxia semiconductor industry.
But their worries don't help, after all, they can't stop the Medigo Semiconductor Alliance from cooperating in the development of 45nm process technology and the next generation of 32nm process technology.
The bad news came one after another, and many fans of Dawning Technology were extremely depressed.
In such a situation, the market value of Sugon Technology also quietly declined, quietly falling below the $500 billion mark in just one day.
However, when Sugon Technology thought that the crisis was just like this, Professor Zhang Rujing, the head of Sugon Semiconductor, directly brought Lin Chen and even a group of senior executives of the Sugon system together for a meeting.
"At present, the island nation of Shin-Etsu Chemical has unilaterally interrupted the supply of our photoresist, and the situation is even worse because all the companies around the world that can produce qualified photoresist refuse to supply us with lithography machines!
According to the current storage of photoresist in the warehouse, if we can't solve the photoresist problem in 16 days, Sugon Semiconductor will not be able to produce even a chip after 16 days. ”
At this time, the speaker was Professor Zhang Rujing, the head of Sugon Semiconductor.
Speaking of which, Professor Zhang Rujing has been joining Shuguang Technology for almost a year, because the patent infringement lawsuit between Zhongxin International and TSMC last year has finally come to an end.
The final result was naturally the same as in the previous life, according to the compromise contract between the two parties, Zhang Rujing was forced to leave Zhongxin International after losing a sum of money.
Professor Zhang Rujing, who was out of the game, finally joined Sugon Semiconductor, which is stronger than Zhongxin International, at the invitation of Lin Chen's phone.
So in some ways, Lin Chen is really grateful to the shareholders behind Zhongxin International and TSMC, if it weren't for them, how could Shuguang Technology have a qualified head of the chip factory.
On the other side, the scene that heard Professor Zhang Rujing's words at this time was instantly furious, and the scene fell into a sea of anger for a while.
"How dare they ?!!"
"Are they crazy?!"
"How so? Damn it! ”
"It's really ruthless to directly stop us from producing chips." ……
Many senior executives of the entire Shuguang system at the scene felt panic and deep anxiety in addition to anger.
After all, if they can't solve the problem of qualified photoresist after 16 days, then they won't be able to produce a single chip.
As long as they thought of such consequences, the senior executives on the scene only felt a chill behind them.
However, in a state of panic and deep anxiety, Lin Chen, who was the head of the entire Dawn System at this time, was the first to calm down, only to see him turn his head to look at Ni Guangnan and ask:
"Mr. Ni, where has we reached the research and development of high-end photoresists applied to the 65nm process process?"
Ni Guangnan, who heard this, pondered for a moment, and then replied slowly:
"We have actually developed high-end photoresist formulations for 65nm process technology, and now we are facing the problem of how to produce high-end photoresists in large quantities.
This problem was not a problem in the first place, because we have already completed the construction of the photoresist factory building, and we are waiting for the installation of the photoresist production machines transported from abroad for trial production.
However, since the establishment of the Medigo Semiconductor Alliance, Fuji Corporation, the island nation that sells the production machinery, has directly refused to cooperate with us.
Therefore, many of the photoresist production machines we purchased were directly stuck in the customs of the island country and were not moved, and it was said that they would be sent back to Fujifilm.
Although the photoresist production machine sold by Fuji in the island country is not a machine that cannot be independently developed and replaced, otherwise we would not be able to procure it.
But we have to admit that it does take some time to bypass their technical patent barriers and then develop a photoresist production machine of the same level.
So if nothing else, we may not be able to solve the photoresist problem this year.
Even if we are now fully committed to developing a production machine for photoresist, it will be early next year at the earliest. ”
"How so?"
"Damn! The Semiconductor Alliance is really hateful! ”
"Damn, if we can't beat us, we will engage in these despicable methods, does this Meidi Semiconductor Alliance still have a little backbone?
Don't they dare to fight us hand-to-hand, but only dare to do these tricks behind our backs?! ”
"What do we do next? It will be early next year at the earliest that photoresist can produce chips, do we really have to accept our fate? ”
