"Boss, the Neon Semiconductor Association has just announced that it will restrict the sales of fluoropolyimide, photoresist and high-purity hydrogen fluoride, mainly targeting Dahua and Koryo.

On the surface, the supply of raw materials is unstable, resulting in insufficient production capacity, but in fact, it is because Neon's chip industry revenue fell sharply by 23% in the Q1-Q3 quarter, a sharp decrease of 700 billion neon coins. ”

He Tingbo said in a deep voice.

The strong rise of Shanhai Microelectronics and Sanxing's step-by-step pressure in memory chips caused a great setback to the neon semiconductor industry, which triggered this boycott.

Fluoropolyimide is a special polymer material composed of polyimide monomers containing fluorine atoms, which has excellent high temperature resistance, chemical stability and electrical insulation properties, and is often used as an insulating layer or auxiliary material.

Photoresist is a photosensitive substance, which can transfer the photolithography pattern to the surface of the chip through exposure and development operations, thus forming a complex and precise circuit structure.

If the lithography machine is missing photoresist, then the lithography machine is a pile of scrap metal.

High-purity hydrogen fluoride is highly corrosive and provides efficient and precise etching and cleaning to ensure the quality and performance of chip components.

It can be said that without these three materials, the production capacity of Shanhai Microelectronics will be greatly affected, and it is still unknown whether the orders of Pinghua and Maiweida can be delivered on schedule.

"When will it take effect?"

Chen Heyu leaned back in the seat, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and asked lightly.

"October 17th."

He Tingbo immediately replied.

"Is that a week left? How long does the inventory last? ”

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, undeniable.

The photoresist material of the neon country is in an absolute dominant position in the world, accounting for as much as 52%, once it takes effect, there are only two ways left for the mountains and seas.

First, go to "neonization" and produce it yourself;

Second, find alternative new supply channels.

"Probably until the end of the year, boss, do you want to start the backup plan now? Or contact Taoshi Chemical or Dubang Materials to change suppliers? ”

He Tingbo asked.

Half a year ago, Chen Heyu began to work on the layout of photoresist and etching cleaning agent, acquired a related company, and tried to develop independently.

Now the conditions are ripe, as early as two months ago, a batch of samples were produced and sent to the chip manufacturing base for trial, and the quality and performance are extremely excellent.

It's just that it hasn't been announced, and this is also Chen Heyu's hidden backhand.

"Don't worry, let's see the attitude of Tao and Du Bang first."

Chen Heyu thought about it for a while, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

He originally wanted to rely on EDA software and process advantages in the manufacturing process to let these industry giants silently accept Shanhai Microelectronics and become a part of the global semiconductor field.

But the reality is always contrary to imagination, and the conflict in profit is only won or lost, and there is no such thing as peaceful coexistence.

"Boss, I see."

He Tingbo nodded, strengthened his belief in his heart, and agreed sonorously.

Forthwith.

Chen Heyu hung up the phone, lowered the car window, and let the refreshing autumn breeze blow in, and his mind instantly cleared up.

He pondered for a moment and called Zhang Nan: "From tomorrow, stop supplying Moss Ai glasses to the neon area."

The reason is that the production capacity is insufficient! ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

Zhang Nan did not hesitate, after she saw the news, she knew that the boss would definitely have countermeasures.

Come and don't be rude!

Chen Heyu doesn't have the habit of "being beaten and not making a sound", at least he has to give the other party some eye medicine to make him uncomfortable.

After everything was handled, the car just stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.

"Crunch"!

The red gate slowly opened, and despite not moving in for months, the yard was still spotless, apparently cleaned by a housekeeping company.

He walked straight into the room and hung his coat on a hanger.

finished washing unhurriedly, lying on the bed and chatting with Luo Wenwen, completely unaware that there was a complete uproar outside.

"Danger! The global photoresist boss has insufficient production capacity, and Shanhai Microelectronics and Sanxing may be hit hard! ”

"Tim, president of Apple, expressed concern that the delivery of A10 chips has become a mystery!"

"Up to now, He Tingbo, CEO of Shanhai Microelectronics, has not made any response to this matter for the time being!"

Netizens are worried that there will be problems with the production capacity of Shanhai Microelectronics, which will lead to order delays and compensation for large liquidated damages.

This time, the targeted enterprises are not only Shanhai Microelectronics, but dozens of semiconductor companies such as Huaxin Technology, Jinling Hi-Tech, and Huahong Integration will all be affected.

"I'll just say, we must take the road of localization, how can we just buy it? Bullied by Ames in the first half of the year, bullied by neon in the second half of the year, the leader of domestic chips with Shanhai Microelectronics being a fart? ”

"Give the neon a little color and look at it! They don't sell, don't want to enter the Dahua market in the future! ”

"Alas! Shanhai Microelectronics is in big trouble this time! ”

“……”

The discussion in the comment area became more and more intense, and the hot words were directly put on the top of the hot search, and after two hours of fermentation, they successfully occupied the top position.

The CEOs of domestic chip companies are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, after they have mastered the 28-nanometer chip process of Shanhai Microelectronics, they have received a large number of orders at home and abroad, and if they cannot be delivered as promised, they will definitely lose a lot of money.

"Little neon of the dog! Daddy! ”

"Isn't this pushing people to a dead end?"

"Without photoresist and hydrogen fluoride, how can chips be produced?"

A group of people lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and finally Gao Lexian, the chairman of Huaxin International, couldn't bear it anymore and made an appointment with He Tingbo overnight.

"Mr. He, you are the optimus prime of our Huaguo Semiconductor, you have to come up with some ideas, right? What's next? ”

Gao Lexian said with a sad face.

"I'm Optimus Prime, so what is Mr. Chen? Mr. Gao rarely came to kill me, do I still want to work in Shanhai Microelectronics for a few more years? ”

He Tingbo waved his hand and said with a smile.

Gao Lexian is a smart person, an old fox in the business world, and he knows at a glance that He Tingbo must have a solution, otherwise at this time, how can he still be in the mood to joke?

"Mr. He, are you prepared? Tao or Du Bang? ”

Gao Lexian asked suspiciously.

"Taoshi refuses to cooperate with Shanhai Microelectronics, Du Bang is only willing to provide fluoropolyimide, and photoresist is also useless."

He Tingbo shook his head and sighed.

"And you can still laugh?"

Gao Lexian was stunned and smiled wryly.

"Mr. Gao, I came out to see you so late, I want you to help me convey it, all orders will continue to be produced, and the supply problem of photoresist will be solved by Shanhai Microelectronics."

He Tingbo said succinctly.

"Can Mr. He reveal a thing or two? It's good for me to get some sleep. ”

Gao Lexian hurriedly asked.

"Shanhai Materials has been established for six months, and Mr. Gao thinks, what are we busy with during this time?"

He Tingbo raised his eyes and said indifferently.

"I see, I said, how can Mr. He be confident? That's good, that's good, haha. ”

Gao Lexian grinned, his sorrow dissipated, and he was full of joy.

"Other partners, you can inform me."

He Tingbo admonished.

The partner refers to the boss of the semiconductor company who accepts the authorization of Shanhai Microelectronics' 28-nanometer chip manufacturing process.

"No problem, I'll do it, save this group of people from being frightened, and do a little thing, like a fly without a head, without the slightest concentration."

Gao Lexian had a disdainful expression on his face.

“……”

He Tingbo smiled, Gao Lexian a few minutes ago, how could he not be a headless fly?

The next day.

What makes social media feel uncharacteristic is that domestic semiconductor companies, as if they have not been affected in any way, have turned a deaf ear to this regulation.

800 kilometers away from the Goryeo Peninsula.

Sanxing Electronics Headquarters.

Liu Guixian sat in the office, with a deep sense of fatigue in his eyes, he contacted Tao's and Du Bang, and all of them refused to cooperate with Sanxing.

He knew that the last time he did not join the "10nm process technology sharing meeting" initiated by Bethemia, the Bedley Foundation was dissatisfied, and this time Sanxing was also removed from the "white list" by Neon.

There are only two paths in front of him.

The first is to go back and kneel down and beg Bessemai to let him use the energy of the Foundation to help Sanxing solve this trouble.

The other is to face neon, actively save yourself, and break through this technology.

"How do you choose?"

Liu Guixian felt confused, Sanxing's hydrogen fluoride imports from neon accounted for 51% of all imports, and the import volume of photoresist reached an astonishing 94%.

"Since you can't rely on outsiders, it's all up to you."

After a long time, he made a decision.

It's just that at this time, a phone call suddenly came in: "Mr. Liu, He Tingbo, CEO of Huaguo Shanhai Microelectronics, asks to communicate with you, do you need to help you transfer?" ”

It's his personal secretary!

"Yes, you can."

Yoo Gye-hyun pondered for a moment and agreed.

Competition aside, Shanhai Microelectronics is also one of Sanxing's chip foundries, and before Sanxing failed to fully master the 10nm process, he had to maintain a good cooperative relationship with He Tingbo.

"Mr. Liu, how does Sanxing plan to deal with this crisis?"

He Tingbo asked with a soft chuckle, in a tone of indifference.

"Of course you have to fight back, only a few photoresist materials, can Sanxing still produce them?"

Liu Guixian didn't know why, and he couldn't figure out He Tingbo's intention, so he could only say hard.

In fact, not to mention Sanxing, the whole of Goryeo does not have the technology to manufacture high-purity, impurity-free hydrogen fluoride, and the storage technology of hydrogen fluoride is also a major difficulty.

"Oh? It seems that I am self-inflicted, I thought that the two families would be separated by water, and I was also ready to provide photoresist for Sanxing Electronics. ”

He Tingbo teased.

Photoresist?

What do you mean?

"Mr. He, does Shanhai Microelectronics want to resell the materials of Tao's and Du Bang to Sanxing at a high price?"

Liu Guixian quickly made up for it, and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

The photoresist I am talking about is completely independently developed and produced by Shanhai Materials, and the resolution, contrast and sensitivity are not lost to Xinyue Chemical.

I don't know, is Mr. Liu interested? ”

He Tingbo asked rhetorically.

In my heart, I was shocked, Sanxing's decision was exactly the same as the boss predicted, and I thought about it myself for the first time.

Chen Heyu will not give Sanxing this opportunity, he has the idea of "sending charcoal in the snow", and asks He Tingbo to win Sanxing's material supply.

I just don't want the other party to take this opportunity to embark on the road of material research and development.

The longer the delay, the more difficult it will be for Sanxing to master this technology in the future, and it can only slowly change from relying on neon to relying on Shanhai Microelectronics.

"Mountains and seas have this technology?"

Liu Guixian was secretly frightened, this opponent, far stronger than the neon semiconductor company, quietly ate these technologies early.

"If Mr. Liu doesn't believe it, you can buy a batch of products first and compare the effectiveness."

He Tingbo said confidently.

Liu Guixian was silent, knowing that the other party had no need to deceive him, and this kind of boring lie would be easily exposed.

Being able to spend money to buy it is, of course, better than independent research and development, after all, every technological breakthrough requires a lot of investment in scientific research manpower and funds.

"What do you want?"

Liu Guixian asked coldly, he didn't believe that Shanhai Microelectronics would be so kind.

"On the basis of Neon's offer, it will rise by 10% again."

He Tingbo replied.

Making money is secondary, and the core is to let Sanxing dispel the idea of independent research and development, and interfere with the localization process of Goryeo semiconductor industry.

"I need to report to the board of directors, and within two days, I will give Mr. He a reply."

Liu Guixian thought for a while, and said frankly.

"Then let's do it first, I'll wait for Mr. Liu's good news."

He Tingbo said with a smile.

Liu Guixian, who ended the call, sat in the boss's chair, stunned, before reporting to the board of directors, he needed to think clearly about whether it was better to cooperate with Shanhai Microelectronics or advocate investing in material manufacturers.

"Di Ling Ling~!"

The phone on the desktop rang suddenly!

"Yes, I'll be there soon, please wait."

Liu Guixian said respectfully.

Without having time to think about it, he hurriedly sorted out useful existing information and walked towards his boss's office.

Five minutes later, he came to the door of a lavish office, exhaled heavily, and raised his hand to knock lightly.

"Come in!"

A neutral male voice came from inside the house.

Liu Guixian pushed the door and walked in, only to see a beautiful and graceful girl group artist, busy sorting out his clothes, bowing his head and passing by him.

A fragrant breeze swayed, and a large area of snow-white and plump skin came into view.

"What are your plans for this?"

The middle-aged man in the position asked.

Yoo Gye-hyun raised his head and looked at the boss two meters away, that is, Lee Jae-myung, the eldest prince of the Lee chaebol.

This man on the Goryeo Peninsula has a monstrous power.

"He Tingbo, CEO of Shanhai Microelectronics, revealed that they have the strength to produce photoresist and hydrogen fluoride, but the price requires a 10% increase."

Liu Guixian bowed and replied.

In the end, he decided to persuade his boss to buy the materials of Shanhai Microelectronics.

Because investing in a material manufacturer is more like a big gamble, and everything will be fine if you win, but what if you lose?

Who is responsible?

It must have fallen on him, so he chose the safest path, which is more in his own interests.

"Really?"

Li Zaiming pushed the lenses, his face showed a touch of relief after release, and he thought about it repeatedly in his mind.

In R&D, there must be output if there is input, and there may be no harvest.

In the big family of Sanxing, once family affection is mixed with money and power, it will all change its taste.

The slightest wrong decision will affect his status in the family.

"Let's do it first."

Lee Jae-myung's face tensed, and he made up his mind.

Since there is a better choice, why bother asking for hardship, it is nothing more than paying 10% of the material cost, in his opinion, it is just a drop in the dime.

"Yes, boss."

Liu Guixian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded briskly.

On the same day, Sanxing signed a procurement contract with Shanhai Microelectronics, the largest semiconductor company in Yazhou, decided to join hands with Shanhai Microelectronics to boycott the neon chip industry.

"Poof! Go for wool and come home shorn! It turned out that Shanhai Microelectronics had been prepared for a long time, and the neon operation was completely disappointed! ”

"A total of 17 companies in Dahua and Gaoli have signed a cooperation agreement and will no longer use neon Guoguang resist!"

At this time, Chen Heyu smiled lightly and looked at the skyscraper not far away.

It is a seven-star luxury hotel, and the façade looks resplendent and magnificent, and it is extremely luxurious.

Kaka Group has an office in Dahua, but he can't figure out why the other party has to set the meeting in the hotel.
