When it comes to the semiconductor industry, the island nation must be a key player that cannot be avoided.

Since the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, with the financial support of my father M, the little books have vigorously developed the semiconductor industry.

At their peak, they even surpassed their fathers and occupied half of the global semiconductor market.

It's really bearable, dad can't bear it,

Seeing that his sons had climbed on his head, Lao M directly summoned all the younger brothers and successively signed agreements such as the Plaza Agreement and the Semiconductor Guarantee Agreement, and directly divided the semiconductor industry of the small book into four parts.

Among them, the design returned to the old M, the OEM was given to Baodao, the most cutting-edge equipment was in the windmill country, and Huaguo was responsible for the assembly.

The trembling little book found that he was left with photoresist, substrate insulation, and some manufacturing equipment......

But the dead camel is bigger than the horse,

After the dismemberment, the island nation still provides 50% of the world's semiconductor materials and 30% of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

And Shin-Etsu Chemical is one of the important players who survived this food.

Shin-Etsu Chemical has always been a global leader in the fields of photolithography materials, substrate insulation materials, and silicon wafer manufacturing equipment, both before and after eating.

It's been a long time since they've looked up at the stars and experienced the untouchable pain.

The picture of the news shoot is very clear, and the photographer, with the permission of Kangchi, even boldly took a close-up shot of the heating rod working,

Just highlight one word:

Arrogant!

But this time, Huaguo does seem to have arrogant capital......

The engineers of Shin-Etsu Chemical stared for a long time, stunned and didn't see the name inside.

This seems to be no different from the floating belt method single crystal furnace they are developing?

Why does the silicon crystal solution flow everywhere uncontrollably as soon as they are melted?

They even caused several experimental accidents as a result......

Although they didn't want to admit it, the news screen playing in front of them made them have to admit it,

They did lose to Huaguo in the field of floating belt method!

"Another feature of the floating belt method is that the silicon rod can achieve a 100% yield rate through repeated smelting."

Kangchi in the camera continues to explain to the audience the advantages of the floating belt method single crystal furnace.

"For example, in the quality inspection, if the purity of the silicon rod is found to be not up to standard, we only need to analyze the main components of the impurities, and then do a targeted purification, which usually takes only ten minutes."

"However, the traditional lifting method single crystal furnace, once there is a defective product, it can only be rebuilt in the whole furnace, which takes eight hours for this!"

"Yaga!"

Looking at the explanation of the Chinese man's eyebrows dancing in the picture, Nohara Takehiro finally couldn't help it and turned off the projector directly.

Everyone at the venue immediately straightened their backs and focused their eyes on the chairman of the group.

"Fukuhara-kun, you are the head of the silicon wafer department, tell me your opinion."

Koji Fukuhara hurriedly got up, bowed to everyone, and said, "Judging from the news footage just now, I think this single crystal furnace should be real...... However, it may remain to be seen whether the performance of the silicon rod made by this method is satisfactory or not, and whether it can be qualified for chip manufacturing. ”

"Observation?" Takehiro Nohara suddenly snorted coldly, "What if you are not qualified?!" ”

"Over the years, I have given you so much money to develop the floating belt method, but you can't even make a single substandard silicon rod!"

"If we continue to observe, our big island nation will not even be able to keep the last piece of land in the semiconductor industry!"

Koji Fukuhara was scolded so much that he lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

In fact, as everyone here knows,

Fukuhara Koji's words just now are actually to comfort everyone.

With the scale of the silicon wafer market, Huaguo simply cannot use the credibility of authoritative media such as Huaguo News and Huaguo Daily to release such low-level smoke bombs......

Takehiro Nohara leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and exhaled deeply,

When he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to normal.

"Dr. Nitta, do those images just now have any inspiration for your research?"

Kosuke Nitta, who was named, quickly stood up and shook his head.

If you can get inspired by the video, then countries all over the world will build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers......

Kosuke Nitta silently complained in his heart, and then said:

"Although we can't see what technology they used through the video, at least they helped us verify that the floating band method is a completely feasible and advantageous technical route, and I think the company can continue to increase its investment in the research of the floating band method."

Takehiro Nohara nodded: "Then from today, stop all R&D and improvement projects of the Lifting Method Single Crystal Furnace and concentrate on conquering the floating belt method Single Crystal Furnace!" ”

"Huh?"

"Wouldn't that be too hasty?"

The books present were a little surprised.

But after calming down a little and thinking about it, they knew that Takehiro Nohara was actually right.

They Shin-Etsu Chemical is still a global leader in the lifting method, and the temporary suspension of the excavation of the lifting method will not have any impact.

And the lifting method is already a relatively mature technology, at this time, every step needs to pay a considerable price.

It is better to focus time and energy on the floating belt method that has been proven feasible in China.

At this time, it is irrational not to change the direction and still stubbornly knock on the technology that is destined to be eliminated.

Reason is such a reason,

But it still takes a lot of courage for Takehiro Nohara to accept that the technology he has painstakingly studied for many years is about to be eliminated in such a short period of time, and then make such a major decision to change direction.

"Actually, we don't have to, for a single crystal furnace to mess up."

Takehiro Nohara, who has completely calmed down, analyzed,

"The monocrystalline furnace is supersurpassed, anyway, it is only one part of the silicon wafer manufacturing, even if they can build more monocrystalline furnaces, the follow-up chamfering, cutting, and grinding equipment are not the same, and we have to rely on us?"

"If we don't sell them these processing equipment, then the silicon rods they produce will be a bunch of broken copper and iron, and they will not be able to make silicon wafers at all!"

After listening to Takehiro Harano's analysis, the others gradually calmed down.

"That's right, isn't it just a single crystal furnace, anyway, they all make 12-inch silicon rods, but they are just advanced."

"It's still the big picture of the directors of the field, so the matter is far less serious than we think."

"Well, but we still can't underestimate the enemy, and we have to think about the countermeasures we should have."

Soon, they came up with a series of countermeasures.

First, make every effort to overcome the floating belt technology,

Second, dispose of the stock of lifting method single crystal furnace as soon as possible.

Third, stop selling all silicon wafer manufacturing and processing equipment to China.

Fourth, find a way to buy a floating belt single crystal furnace of Dahan Silicon Industry and conduct reverse research.

Fifth, we will work with Goldman Sachs Group to reduce wafer prices and increase wafer exports to China, so as to discourage them from R&D of wafer manufacturing equipment.

Among these countermeasures, the fifth can be said to be the most ruthless!

Originally, most of Huaguo's wafer factories have been working for island countries at a loss, and they can barely survive with the help of policies.

If Shin-Etsu Chemical really started wafer dumping, I don't know how many Huaguo's wafer factories would go bankrupt.

The closure of the wafer factory will inevitably put the R&D companies and institutions of wafer manufacturing equipment into a dilemma that no one pays, so that the R&D plan will be stopped......

This is a vicious circle for market economies.

Fortunately, Huaguo is not a country dominated by a market economy, and the lethality of this move must be reduced by at least fifty percent.

Because because the more this is the case, the greater the policy support!

The fourth update, 2+2 is finished, and the rest depends on whether the first order data is given or not~
