In the following period, although Dahan Silicon and Silicon Technology did not have a formal exchange from beginning to end, both sides tacitly and secretly competed and frantically accelerated the research and development process of the single crystal furnace.

"Part 2589!"

In the assembly workshop of Dahan Silicon, Kangchi is installing every part in an orderly manner.

He didn't even have to look at the drawings, he just popped out the numbers of the parts one by one from his mouth,

The ten part-time assistants only need to go to the corresponding warehouse to transport the boxes to the assembly workshop according to the part number said by Kangchi.

Then unpack, hand it to Kangchi, clean the package,

It's as easy as moving bricks on the construction site!

Of course, when encountering large parts that one person can't hold and even needs to be hoisted by a crane, Kangchi still needs them to help install them.

Half of these ten migrant workers are responsible for the hoisting of the construction site, so after a few days of familiarization, they can basically operate these installation equipment proficiently.

With the successful installation of one part after another, a single crystal furnace with a diameter of five meters and a height of eight meters gradually takes shape.

It looks like a big oil drum with several windows,

If you just look at the surface, no one can imagine the cost of this thing, which is as high as tens of millions, let alone how complex its internal structure is.

The feelings of several migrant workers during this period may be the same as Fang Qiming's mood when he helped Kangchi build a lens production line.

At the same time, he is also full of curiosity and respect for Kangchi.

……

While building a single crystal furnace, Kangchi did not forget to convene a "special operation team" from time to time.

While discussing problems with them, give them a little pressure appropriately and create the illusion that they are a little anxious.

As for the key components, he did not slack off, and often went deep into the work of each team to help them give advice and promote the overall progress of the project to the greatest extent.

However, no matter how fast the progress of Dahan Silicon Industry is, they are still the newcomers who started from scratch after all.

Compared with companies like Silicon Technology that already have semi-finished monocrystalline furnaces and only need to improve their structure, the speed is a beat slower after all.

Good news! A major breakthrough has been made in domestic silicon wafers, and Silicon Technology has successfully conquered the 12-inch monocrystalline furnace! 》

On March 8, Women's Day, a piece of news quietly appeared in the semiconductor industry media.

Because the popularity of the 'Queen's Day' hyped up by e-commerce companies is too high, this blockbuster news has been pressed to the death in the industry and has not broken the circle.

Although the news did not break the circle, it caused a lot of discussion in the industry.

At present, there are dozens of companies in the world that can manufacture 12-inch semiconductor silicon rods.

However, the only companies that can really manufacture monocrystalline furnace equipment by themselves are Shin-Etsu Chemical and Swisskovac in the island country!

But starting today, the landscape will be completely changed!

This will be an important milestone in the localization of silicon wafer manufacturing equipment!

It is the first major success of the domestic semiconductor industry after the New Year.

"Sure enough, you still have to rely on silicon to make silicon chips!"

"After all, it is a veteran silicon wafer company, and its technology accumulation is deep enough, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, so it is normal to make such a major breakthrough."

"Hmm...... No, who is this Fang Qiang? Why didn't you see Yan Hui's name? ”

"Huh? I'll take a look at ...... Hey, it doesn't seem to be? What's going on? ”

These industry insiders quickly smelled something unusual from the news, and then through searching, they finally found an inconspicuous piece of news in the announcement of Silicon Information Technology.

"Dr. Yan Hui stepped down as the chief technical advisor of Silicon Technology for personal reasons?"

And the time of this announcement is February 25, the day before the Lantern Festival.

So the industry insiders who had a relationship with Yan Hui called one after another to inquire about the situation, and Yan Hui just replied uniformly:

He was unwell and needed to recuperate for a period of time, and he did not participate in the follow-up research and development of the single crystal furnace, and he had no idea about this technological breakthrough.

In addition to caring about his body and letting him recuperate with peace of mind, his friends sighed more.

After all, Yan Hui has worked hard in the field of silicon wafer research and development for so long, but he fell ill at this most critical moment, and the peaches were picked by a subordinate......

How hard did this hit him?

At the same time, the Ministry of Science and Technology also received the application report of Silicon Sys Technology, and then immediately arranged an expert group to start the results review and verification process.

If all goes well, Silicon Technology can win almost 500 million special subsidy funds with this single crystal furnace technology!

Compared with the joy of the industry, Dahan Silicon Industry is somewhat gloomy.

After the news of the technological breakthrough of Silicon Technology was spread in Dahan Silicon Industry, everyone's enthusiasm for work immediately faded.

This news not only means that Dahan Technology, which is currently focusing on monocrystalline furnaces, will not have a chance to pay special subsidies, but also fall into a passive situation in the follow-up division of the market cake.

Even......

Whether Dahan Silicon Industry can build a single crystal furnace has to draw a big question mark.

Not to mention ordinary team members, even several team leaders are also full of worries about the company's prospects.

At this juncture, Kangchi couldn't reveal anything to them, so he could only say a few words of encouragement to them, and then let them be depressed for a while.

Fortunately, most of the key components have been overcome, and the remaining few have also roughly figured out the direction, and it is estimated that the manufacturing of all parts can be completed in a week at most.

The rest is to look at the assembly progress.

is the so-called drama to do a full set, after comforting everyone, Kangchi convened the special operations team again, and was furious with them, complaining that their progress was too slow, and they hadn't eaten the drawings for so long, and came up with a practical and effective project plan......

"You're not going to expect me to work out the manufacturing of each part, or even help you figure it out, do you? So what do I want you to do? ”

Looking at Kang Chi with a gloomy face, several people were also aggrieved in their hearts.

Although they are all technicians who have participated in the research and development of single crystal furnaces, those research and development have either failed or have not been exposed to the core technology at all.

At this time, it is difficult to understand the drawings given by Kangchi.

At the end of the day, it's still not up to their level.

Give them a specific part drawing, and they may be able to analyze it and come up with a practical manufacturing plan.

But if you are given a complete schematic and ask them to split the parts, they will be completely confused.

If they are given enough time, they may be able to grind something out and gradually complete the promotion from technician to researcher.

But the reality is that there is no time for them to improve themselves.

Thinking of this, Hu Wenjun suddenly had an idea, and felt that this was a good opportunity to make a plan!

Anyway, their task in Dahan Silicon Industry has been basically completed.

Why not take this opportunity to resign and quit on the grounds of limited work capacity?

However, when Hu Wenjun took the lead and euphemistically proposed that his ability was limited and he was not qualified for the job, Kangchi suddenly changed his attitude and tried his best to retain them, constantly emphasizing their importance to Dahan Silicon.

Anyway, they won't let people go.

Hu Wenjun was worried that the intention of running away was too obvious and would arouse Kangchi's suspicion, and it was not good to be too tough, so the resignation could only be temporarily abandoned.

After the pacification work, Kangchi re-engaged in the assembly of the monocrystalline furnace like no one, which made the employees feel puzzled and somewhat restored their morale.

-----------------

Pingjiang City.

The expert group sent by the Ministry of Science and Technology rushed to Pingjiang on the third day after receiving the application of Silicon Info Technology.

After passing the technical review of the drawings, they personally inspected the equipment again to confirm whether the independent research and development rate of the equipment was up to standard.

Subsequently, the engineers of Silicon Technology successfully pulled out a 12-inch monocrystalline silicon rod in front of the expert group for eight hours.

After a simple surface grinding, field testing with professional instruments was used to determine the purity of this silicon rod reached 11 9s!

The scene immediately applauded!

The members of the expert group congratulated Liu Xingdong one after another.

Liu Xingdong was happy, but suddenly found that Wu Lihong, the leader of the expert group, was still looking at the design plan with a frown, so he couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Academician Wu, do you still have any questions?" ”

Wu Lihong raised his head, glanced at Liu Xingdong, and then shook his head and said: "The principle of process design is very ingenious, and the results of the on-site test are also in line with the standard, and I haven't found any problems here for the time being, but ......"

"But what?"

This is the word that Liu Xingdong is most afraid of hearing......

"But I think it's a donkey or a horse, and you still have to pull it out for a walk, so my suggestion is that you first cut and polish the silicon ingot, and then we distribute the silicon wafer to different fabs and labs for final lithography verification."

Liu Xingdong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This purity has already been clearly up to standard, what else can there be a problem?

"Academician Wu is still thoughtful, then do what you say."

Although Liu Xingdong was unhappy, he still agreed, and quickly issued new instructions to various departments.

So the expert group stayed in Pingjiang for one more day,

On the third day, the freshly baked silicon wafers were packed in sealed boxes filled with nitrogen.

Then the expert group took them and flew to SMIC, Huahong, Lion Microelectronics, and the Institute of Microelectronics Technology of Sioux University, which have wafer manufacturing capabilities.

As Kangchi was excited, after installing the last part, the familiar panel finally popped up!

In fact, last night, he had already completed an assembly, but I don't know why there was no elastic panel.

So Kangchi carefully checked the drawings and equipment again, and sure enough, he found that there was a mistake in the installation step.

Fortunately, after today's disassembly and assembly, the panel finally popped up.

This makes Kangchi have to sigh again, this system is so easy to use, and it can also automatically detect equipment problems!

If this is used to build airplanes and rockets, wouldn't it be able to achieve a 0% accident rate?

Well

It's hard to say,

Some accidents are not necessarily caused by equipment problems, such as accidental factors such as aircraft hitting birds.

"Mr. Kang, that's all right?"

More than a dozen migrant workers around Kangchi always felt unreal when they saw that Kangchi had finally completed the installation of this big guy.

Although they don't understand this thing at all, they know that Dahan Silicon Industry has invested 100 million yuan to make this thing.

At that time, when Kangchi asked them to come over as temporary workers to help assemble, they thought that Kangchi was joking,

No one could have imagined that less than a month had passed, and Kangchi had really completed the R&D and manufacturing of a 100 million project with their assistance......

It's kind of magical.

"It should be fine, but we will not know until after the experiment...... It's been a hard time for everyone. ”

Kang Chi smiled at them: "Later, you remember to go to the finance to settle the salary, and you don't have to come over tomorrow." ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Kang."

As soon as they heard about the payment of wages, these migrant workers immediately showed a smile, but after hearing the sentence that they didn't need to come, they were a little melancholy.

"Mr. Kang, that, I want to ask ......"

A tanned young man finally mustered up his courage and asked in a low voice, "Are you still recruiting?" ”

Hearing this question, everyone immediately cast expectant glances at Kangchi.

They worked here as temporary workers for a month, and they were envious of the various benefits of Dahan Silicon.

If you can change to a full-time job, it won't be too cool.

Kang Chi pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "There is no demand for non-technical positions on my side for the time being, but after the completion of the second phase of the project, there will definitely be many non-technical positions recruited." ”

"If you want to join Dahan Silicon, you can pay more attention to our recruitment announcements when the time comes, and I will give priority to you."

"Well, I know, thank you Mr. Kang!"

Although Kangchi did not keep them now, which made them somewhat disappointed, Kangchi also promised that they would be given priority to non-technical posts in the future.

That's enough!

As these temporary workers left the assembly workshop, Kangchi summoned all the technicians to the assembly workshop.

When the employees of Dahan Silicon Industry stepped into the most mysterious assembly workshop of Dahan Silicon Industry for the first time and saw the single crystal furnace erected in the middle, they were all stunned.

"It's ...... Single crystal furnace?! ”

"Mr. Kang has finished assembling?"

"Am I right?"

"What does the floating-belt single-crystal furnace look like this?"

"Really?"

“……”

While the other groups were recovering from their surprise and starting a heated discussion, one group was still stunned.

What's going on?!

Doesn't it mean that we are the real hope of Dahan Silicon Industry?

What the hell is this single crystal furnace?

The five innocent technicians who made up the numbers were just simple foolishness,

They don't understand why Kangchi has named them 'saviors', but he has such a hand behind them.

The other five rats felt a chill from their scalps to their toes, so cold that they couldn't help but shiver......

At this time, Kangchi was also very intimate and threw them a meaningful smile.

In Hu Wenjun's eyes, this smile was like a demon crawling out of hell, opening its bloody mouth towards them.

Hu Wenjun subconsciously wanted to run away, but his trembling legs couldn't move away.

At the same time, Liu Xingdong is still thinking about how much support the Ministry of Science and Technology will give them Silicon Technology this time.

As a result, I suddenly received a call from the expert group......
