Chapter 56 Academicians gathered, semiconductor giants
It is not so simple for multiple lithography machine research institutions to merge into Wujiang Microelectronics, which finally involves many things, such as technology, equipment, talents, factories, how much is it worth, and how many shares does the country occupy after merging into Wujiang Microelectronics......
In order to get more shares, Zhao Ye subsequently invested another 200 million yuan.
Now, by the end of February, the company's revenue has increased significantly, and it has enough capital to make additional investments in the company.
Soon, a plan came up that would be acceptable to all.
The state provides technology, equipment, talents, factories, land, and tax-free support policies, and Wujiang Group invested 600 million yuan to jointly establish China Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd.
Wujiang Group occupies 60% and controls the company's dominance.
The state has thrown off the burden, so that many scientific researchers have a way out, and the technology and achievements of lithography machines will not be wasted.
It's not that domestic leaders can't see the status quo of semiconductors, but they are powerless to save it before. Many areas of the country cost money, and it is really difficult to take into account all aspects.
Since Wujiang Group can stand up and shoulder the important task of revitalizing the country's semiconductors, the country will naturally push the boat along the river.
It can be said that the starting point of Wujiang Microelectronics Company has been a giant from the beginning, and it currently has one or two thousand scientific researchers, and has gathered almost all the developers of lithography machines in China.
As the saying goes, you can't put your eggs in one basket.
The headquarters of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is located in Shanghai, which is located in Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory.
Another reason is that Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory has advanced technology in the field of optical mirrors and light sources.
Optical lens is one of the core components of high-end lithography machine, and the lens with high numerical aperture determines the resolution and set error ability of the lithography machine. The light source is another core component of the high-end lithography machine, and the wavelength of the light source determines the process capacity of the lithography machine. Lithography machines require small, high-power, and stable light sources.
In addition, the plant of Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory covers a relatively large area of 30 hectares.
After the headquarters of Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. was determined, the state also granted a large amount of land around the Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory, with a total area of 80 hectares, which will be mainly used to build the R&D building of the headquarters of Wujiang Microelectronics Laboratory, as well as wafer factories and other semiconductor production equipment or production materials.
At present, the R&D building of the headquarters of Wujiang Microelectronics Laboratory is not in a hurry to build for the time being, after all, the Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory is so large, it is enough in a short time. The top priority was to concentrate efforts on improving the BG-101 step-by-step lithography machine. At the same time, a state-of-the-art fab will be built. The wafer factory has strict control requirements for the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and anti-micro-vibration of the production environment. This is something that the Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory did not have before, and it must be built quickly.
The improvement of the BG-101 step-by-step lithography machine will not take long.
Although the main components of a lithography machine include 11 modules such as measuring table and exposure table, laser, beam corrector, energy controller, etc., after all, there are one or two thousand scientific researchers in Wujiang Microelectronics Company, and many parts and components can also be purchased from home and abroad, after all, the northern power at this time has not fallen, and China is not the first thorn in the eyes of Western countries, so the West's technological blockade of China is not too serious, and the Wassenaar Agreement in 1996 is not too serious. Western countries will have extremely strict restrictions on the export of China's semiconductor technology and lithography machines and other equipment, generally two or three generations behind the most advanced technology, coupled with the delay in the approval process, China can get equipment technology will always be backward.
The improvement of the BG-101 step-by-step lithography machine and the construction of the wafer factory need to be carried out at the same time, otherwise the lithography machine is improved, but the fab is not built, so won't it delay time?
With the lithography machine, as for the other production equipment needed to establish a wafer factory, if you can buy it from China with qualified quality, you can use the domestic one, and it is really impossible to import it from abroad.
At this moment, the news that Wujiang Microelectronics is going to build China's largest wafer factory has already spread in the domestic semiconductor circle, causing a sensation.
Many scientific research institutions or factories want to get orders from Wujiang Microelectronics.
However, in terms of quality and technology, their products are a bit unable to meet the requirements of Wujiang Microelectronics.
In order to get orders, it is necessary to improve the technology of the product itself, and under the leadership of the state, the semiconductor industry chain will be merged and integrated.
"As long as it is not a cheating fund, the integrated scientific research institutions or enterprises, as long as they have the ability to improve the technology of their own products, we can consider supporting, and the main means of support is investment."
In the director's office of Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory, Zhao Ye said to Huang Kun, Qin Guogang, Wang Shouwu, Wang Wei, Ni Diannan and others.
In front of these people, Zhao Ye was very humble and polite.
These people are all bigwigs, all academicians!
Huang Kun is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the founder of China's semiconductor technology, an academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences, a researcher and honorary director of the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Academician Qin Guogang has been engaged in the research of semiconductor materials and device physics for a long time.
Wang Shouwu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a semiconductor device physicist.
Academician Wang Wei is a pioneer of semiconductor lasers in China, and has worked hard and achieved profound attainments in the field of semiconductor optoelectronics, and has made a series of important scientific research achievements.
Such a configuration is simply invincible!
Zhao Ye couldn't help but be full of confidence in the future of Wujiang Microelectronics.
At this time, Zhao Ye proposed to support the development of other semiconductor industries in the form of "investment", and if the investment is successful, you can share the profits and increase your influence in the semiconductor field.
After the meeting, Zhao Ye began to hurriedly design chips, and the production of chips was taken care of by these bigwigs, but the design of chips was Zhao Ye's strength.
Zhao Ye also merged the company's CPU design team into Wujiang Microelectronics Company, and all the team members moved to Shanghai Optical Machinery Factory.
Under the leadership of Zhao Ye, the CPU design team is working hard to develop a microprocessor based on Reduced Instruction Set (RISC).
There is a saying that "easy first and then difficult", first design 8-bit processors, then 16-bit and 32-bit.
Since March 1st, Zhao Ye has almost lived in the factory, working overtime every day to design the CPU, and fighting at night. Moreover, every few days, Zhao Ye will also give lectures to team members to improve their skills and understand their own design concepts.
Although Zhao Ye does not know much about the specific technology of this piece, he at least knows the direction, which will greatly reduce the trial and error cost of Wujiang Microelectronics, save a lot of money and manpower, and speed up the development of new lithography machines.
Now, Huang Kun and other bigwigs like to chat with Zhao Ye the most, just because they can always hear some whimsical ideas from his mouth, which makes people suddenly enlightened.
Should I say it or not, Zhao Ye's days are busy and fulfilling, and they are more "enviable" than 996, but this year's major event that the United States is preparing to sign the "Plaza Accord" has naturally become the focus of Zhao Ye's next special attention!
The core content of the "Plaza Accord" is to depreciate the dollar and increase the competitiveness of US products in exports, thereby improving the imbalance of the US balance of payments.
Who is the United States looking for?
Undoubtedly, RB, of course. RB people are clamoring to "buy the United States", and even the Empire State Building in the United States has become the industry of RB people.
On September 22, 1985, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the United States, RB, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York, and reached an agreement on the joint intervention of the five governments in the foreign exchange market to induce the exchange rate of the US dollar to depreciate against major currencies in an orderly manner, so as to solve the problem of the huge trade deficit of the United States.
Because the agreement was signed at the Plaza Hotel, the agreement is also known as the "Plaza Agreement".
After the signing of the "Plaza Accord," the above-mentioned five countries began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market and sold a large number of dollars in the international foreign exchange market, which then formed a selling frenzy among market investors, resulting in a sustained and substantial depreciation of the dollar.
In less than 3 months, the U.S. dollar fell rapidly, from 250 yen per dollar to 200 yen per dollar, a drop of 20%.
The dollar plummeted and the yen appreciated.
As long as Zhao Ye used leverage in the foreign exchange market before the signing of the "Plaza Agreement" and bought a large number of yen, he could make a lot of money in just three months!
If this one is done well, why worry about the development of China's semiconductor industry.
It's March, and there's still some time until September 22nd.
It was enough for Zhao Ye to raise a huge amount of money.
