Chapter 54: Groundbreaking Ceremony
[A major breakthrough has been made in the purification technology of monocrystalline silicon in China - after the Ministry of Science and Technology released the special support fund for silicon wafers, the first support fund has been famous! 】
On the day Kangchi just finished the interview, an industry news caught his attention.
Boy
He's already trying to speed things up,
I didn't expect these people to be faster than him.
Although he had been mentally prepared for this, when Kangchi had already regarded this cake as his own, anyone who preemptively cut a piece of it from it would inevitably have some pain.
Well
On the greed of human nature......
Kangchi is just a layman, although he has a lofty ambition to benefit the masses, but in the face of this huge profit temptation, he also has his own 'small belly chicken intestines'.
He took a closer look at the content of this news, which reported that Silicon Technology used a self-developed monocrystalline furnace and successfully used the chaikoraski pulling method to pull out a 12-inch monocrystalline silicon rod - although this 1.5-meter silicon rod only meets the semi-conductive requirements of 11 9 purities with only the first 5cm.
But it's a breakthrough.
The Ministry of Science and Technology finally issued a special scientific research subsidy of 30 million yuan to Silicon Technology.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's only 30 million, it's only 1% of 30 billion!"
Kangchi can only comfort himself like this, lest he can't sleep tonight......
And on the night of the release of this text news, the technology channel also broadcast a video version of this news.
The host in it conducted a video interview with Dr. Yan Hui, the chief technical advisor of Silicon Technology.
In this interview, the reporter borrowed the mouth of Dr. Yan from shallow to deep, and popularized the production process and technical difficulties of a wave of monocrystalline silicon rods to the audience.
At the same time, the principle and process of the chaikolasky tila method are emphatically explained.
"The principle of the lifting method is actually very simple, a bit similar to the principle of pouring water into ice in our north, as long as the polysilicon is heated to 1,700 degrees in the crucible made of quartz, smelted into a liquid state, and then the monocrystalline silicon rod prepared in advance is inserted as a crystal seed, and slowly pulled up, a large-size monocrystalline silicon rod can be pulled."
"Although the principle is very simple, that is, the small stick goes in and the big stick comes out, but there are a lot of technical difficulties in actual operation, so I won't go into detail here......
On the TV, Dr. Yan vividly demonstrated the principle of the lifting method through some small props around him, even if ordinary people can know a rough idea after watching it once.
Towards the end of the interview, the moderator suddenly changed his mind and asked Dr. Yan another question:
"I heard that in addition to the lifting method, there are also suspension methods and floating belt methods that can also make monocrystalline silicon, especially the floating belt methods that have attracted wide attention in the industry because of the three papers in "Electronics and Computers" some time ago, may I ask Dr. Yan, what do you think of them?"
Yan Hui was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the host to ask this question.
He sorted out his thoughts a little before he replied: "I have also read those papers, and there is really no big problem in theory, but in fact, the floating belt method has always been controversial in the industry, and silicon wafers cannot be created by writing a few papers." ”
"Even Shin-Etsu Chemical, which has the deepest research on the floating zone method, has publicly admitted that this technology is still immature and there is still a long way to go before it can be applied in practice."
The host nodded and continued to ask: "So do you think it is unrealistic for Dahan Silicon to make monocrystalline silicon rods by improving the floating belt method?" ”
"Hmm...... At least in the short term, I think the hope of success is a bit slim, especially when their investment in research and talent pool seems to be a little far from enough. ”
In the face of the unrelenting host, Dr. Yan was also outspoken and said his truest opinion,
"Of course, according to probability, nothing in the world is absolute, and personally, I still hope that they can achieve corner overtaking on the floating belt method and break this technical barrier for domestic silicon wafers."
"Okay, thank you Dr. Yan for the wonderful science ...... I brought me"
After this news was broadcast, it quickly attracted a lot of attention in the semiconductor field.
Previously, everyone speculated that there would be a major breakthrough in domestic silicon wafers, and the breakthrough point was in the manufacture of silicon rods.
But after Dr. Yan's analysis, everyone couldn't help but doubt it, thinking that Dr. Yan's analysis was not unreasonable.
After all, in the field of domestic silicon wafer manufacturing, the most influential person is not Academician Wu, but their silicon technology.
Of course, it is not excluded that there is peer competition and deliberately devaluing the opponent.
In short, after the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a document announcing this year's semiconductor-related policies, the entire domestic semiconductor industry was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Among them, the silicon wafer manufacturing field has increased its support.
After all, in this field, sitting on the cold bench for too long......
Now that I'm finally cared for by the above, I can't do it well?
In the following period, in addition to Silicon Technology, more than a dozen companies and scientific research teams have announced their latest achievements, involving silicon rod purification, chamfering, slicing, polishing and other links.
In the end, eight of them passed the review of the Ministry of Science and Technology and received a total of 140 million yuan in support funds.
In this way, more than 200 million yuan of special scientific research support of 300 million yuan has been divided.
But Kangchi didn't panic,
Because he knows very well that these are the fruits they have accumulated before, and after this period of time, they want to come up with breakthrough results to share the cake, but it is not so easy.
The Ministry of Science and Technology set up the three billion support funds, and it certainly did not plan to distribute them all at once......
This was originally a tug-of-war in months, or even years.
On January 18, the sixth day of the lunar month, Gangcheng High-tech Industrial Development Zone.
With the sound of salutes, the groundbreaking ceremony of the first phase of Dahan Silicon Industry began.
On the land that has been leveled, a red background board prepared in advance stands behind the foundation stone.
In front, hundreds of invited guests from all walks of life and all employees of Dahan Silicon Industry were clustered.
As the chairman of Dahan Silicon Industry and today's protagonist, Kangchi is also dressed up extraordinarily brightly today, with shiny leather shoes, a straight suit, and neat hair, which is similar to his previous casual and casual temperament.
Kangchi originally refused this, but Zhang Qing repeatedly emphasized the importance of today's occasion with him.
When he came to the scene, he was immediately glad that he had listened to Zhang Qing's words, otherwise he would stand like a leopard in the middle of so many important leaders......
It's really ungraceful.
"Mr. Kang, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Vice Mayor Huang, if it weren't for your full support during this time, how could our progress be so fast!"
"Haha, it should be, it should be, this is our Secretary Yuan and Mayor Lu......"
"Ah, Secretary Yuan, Mayor Lu, thank you for being so appreciative......"
"Where, where, this is a great event in the steel city, as the host, how can we not come by ourselves?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Kang, I wish your company will continue to innovate in the future and climb ......new heights forever."
"There's still a lot of money rolling in!"
"Haha, thank you leaders for your blessings......"
