Chapter 309: The most advanced chip production technology is in the East
"Lao Ni, your semiconductor business is progressing so fast, it's really shocking! It seems that the development direction of the country is no problem, and by supporting some private enterprises, you can get rid of the stubborn diseases of state-owned enterprises and achieve better development! ”
"Elder Wang, you have won the prize." In the face of this old man, Ni Lao also seemed very respectful, after all, he is the pioneer of the domestic semiconductor industry!
We Orientals are smart and talented, and our talents are no worse than those of the West!
In that year, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a large number of talents returned to China, including a group of masters in semiconductors: Huang Kun, Xie Xide, Wang Shouwu, Gao Dingsan, Wu Xijiu, Lin Lanying, Huang Chang, etc., our semiconductor business started, and the West is almost synchronized, almost a few years.
At that time, with the power of the whole country, domestic semiconductors did not fall, but in recent years, the country has to develop the economy, so there will be a fault, and it will not be easy to catch up after that.
Wang Lao was born in 1919, is now seventy years old, still struggling in the front line, just last year, was also hired by the Institute of Semiconductors of the Academy of Sciences as a full researcher, he has compiled countless semiconductor textbooks, semiconductor textbooks used in various universities, can find his name.
Today, when he heard that the first 4M memory chip had been built here, he was even more excited and ran over in person.
"You should have got a 1M memory chip design drawing, right? How did you guys make a 4m of it? The man on the side asked.
"Their original process was 1.2 microns, and we reduced it to 0.8 microns, so according to the original design drawings, we only need to use less than half of the chip area to make the original capacity of the chip, which is a bit wasteful, so we expanded the chip area, integrated four 1m cores inside, and added a control circuit, so that it became a chip with a capacity of 4m." Ni Lao said.
Dongfang's chip design is not lagging behind, and the best talents have gathered here, after getting the design drawing, with a slight improvement, it has become a 4M memory chip, the world's first!
If it weren't for this process, the 4M memory chip would not be mass-produced until the nineties.
"Your craftsmanship is the best in the world!"
"It's all produced by our own equipment, and we are confident in our equipment." Ni Lao said, looking at the arrival of the new convoy, and then there was a burst of excitement: "Mr. Qin, you came back just in time!" ”
"What about Professor Xu?" Qin Feng looked at the crowd and didn't see Professor Xu, was he still in the workshop?
"In the packaging and testing workshop, we are still testing chips with technicians from island countries, after all, we not only need to be successful in tape-out, but also need to have a high enough yield rate, so as to show that our production equipment is mature."
The last step of the chip is packaging and testing, the early chips are not packaged, the small silicon wafer is soldered to the circuit board, and the surface is covered with a layer of plastic and the like, see the electronic table for details, there is a small pimple inside, it is this kind of packaging, but this is extremely unreliable, and it was quickly eliminated, and the chip was stuffed into black ceramic or plastic, which can better protect the chip, and the pins are connected outside, according to the different pins, there are various classification methods.
The common memory chip is the pins on both sides, if it is in-line, it is packaged in dip, and the current memory chips are SMD, using SOP packaging, small outline package, the pins are led out from both sides of the package, L-shaped, and can be directly attached to the circuit board for soldering.
During the test, there is no need to solder the circuit board, just put it directly on the test board, and each piece of the chip needs to be tested before leaving the factory, which requires a large workload and requires a special workshop.
The workshop is also clean and spotless, and the staff in full dust suits are working cautiously, and the packaged chips are flowing and testing on the production line.
"Intact!"
"Intact!"
The test results of almost every chip were perfect, and the eyes of Nobita Ida, the technical representative sent by Nikon to coordinate with Toshiba, were full of shock.
More than 100 pieces have been tested, and all of them are in good condition, and this yield rate is even better than that of their Toshiba company!
"Professor Xu, your technology is the most advanced, and we at Toshiba should purchase production lines from you!" Nobita said excitedly.
Toshiba only has a production process of 1.2 microns, and here it is 0.8 microns, which is not only advanced technology, but also has a high yield rate, so they should use Dongfang technology to quickly improve their product performance!
With the introduction of this line, they were able to go from 1m to 4m in no time!
"Reported, there is a scrap item with 1 meter of space inside that cannot be read." Just then, a technician spoke.
After more than a hundred, there is a piece of scrap, which is also normal, after all, the inside of the chip is too small, and a small change may cause the chip to be scrapped.
"Shielding this part of the space and turning it into a 3m chip." Professor Xu said.
Nobita Ida's eyes suddenly lit up again.
This kind of 4M chip is made by integrating 4 1M chips, and the advantage of this is that if one of them is broken, it can be shielded, and other good places can continue to be used, so that the waste can also be sold as a good one, and there will be almost no waste, after all, the possibility of all four parts being broken is too small.
The technology of the East is very advanced, and the thinking of the East is even more advanced!
Nobita was excited.
Jingle bells!
The phone on the table rang, Professor Xu picked it up, and listened to the voice inside: "Okay, okay, let's go over right away." ”
After speaking, Professor Xu looked at Nobita Ida: "Mr. Ida, we are going to hold a celebration party, do you want to go together?" ”
"Go, go, go together!" Nobita Ida nodded, he was already very satisfied with this batch of tape-out products, he stood up, then thought of something, and continued: "Professor Xu, don't stop the production line, keep running, we will have as many as we want." ”
"Okay."
High-tech base meeting room.
The glass windows are newly replaced steel windows, well sealed, the glass is wiped clean, and the bright sunlight shines down on everyone's face.
Most of them are excited, and a few have complicated expressions.
A group of people from Shougang came, and Pan Hongmin and Shao Jun also came, and the two looked at each other, and then squeezed out a smile.
"Okay, Professor Xu and the guests from the island country are here, our meeting has officially begun, first of all, please ask the guests from the island country to announce the results!" Elder Ni presided over the meeting and spoke.
Nobita walked up to the microphone and began to speak, and every time he said a word, someone translated it.
"Today, October 9th, is a big day! On this day, we at Toshiba finally mass-produced the world's first batch of 4 trillion memory chips using Dongfang's chip production equipment! Not only is the technology advanced, the yield is also quite high, and the chip production equipment of Dongfang is world-class! ”
There was applause below.
"Before coming here, I was skeptical, after all, in my impression, the technology of the East is backward, and the chip needs high-tech, but when I came here, I found that under the blockade of the outside world, the East is self-reliant, and has come up with the world's advanced level of products, starting from the single crystal furnace, all the equipment can be produced independently, which makes me unbelievable, the East has grown into a leader in the field of chips unconsciously! We, Toshiba, are also looking forward to introducing chip production lines from the East. ”

Pan Hongmin's face turned completely black.
The big guy feels that the domestic technology is backward and wants to introduce advanced chip production lines from the island country, but the company in the island country is praising the advanced technology in the country and wants to introduce it from the country! If that's the case, then it's a joke that you imported it from abroad!
I've been talking to NEC for so long, and it's all in vain! Shao Jun helped to say so many reasons, and they were all in vain, after all, foreign imports cost foreign exchange, and domestic purchases cost RMB, even if the factory passes it, the superiors will not pass it.
It's over, this introduction project is completely finished! My future is over! Pan Hongmin was extremely discouraged.
Leader Zhou was very excited, he was still undecided, but now, what else to say? Sourcing directly from the country!
Nobita Ida's speech won bursts of warm applause, and the eyes of countless people were moistened...... Even Wang Lao's eyes were shining with something shining.
"Next, please Mr. Qin speak!" Mr. Ni continued to preside.
"Elder Ni, let the leaders speak first." Qin Feng hurriedly waved his hand, didn't you see so many leaders present? For example, Elder Wang, but he is an old man in our field.
"No, Mr. Qin, it's better for you to come, this achievement belongs to your Pacific Group, you can introduce the experience to the big guy." Wang Lao spoke.
"That's right, Mr. Qin, you can tell the big guy a few words."
Qin Feng could only walk up and look down: "The old leader said, science and technology is the primary productive force, only the development of high-tech products, in order to embark on a benign development path, we in the East not only to export agricultural products and light industrial products, but also to develop heavy industry and high-tech industry, after the country opened, many enterprises began to swarm from abroad to purchase production equipment, here, I want to say, we Oriental people are smart, creative, our own production of equipment, no worse than foreign countries!" ”
There was a round of applause below.
Pan Hongmin and Shao Jun looked at the excited crowd around them, and also clapped their hands a few times, but in their hearts, they still disagreed.
"At present, I also see that many companies have begun to march towards chips, and we are planning a lot of chip projects in China. Qin Feng said: "The biggest feature of the semiconductor industry is the cyclical law. ”
"Mr. Qin, are you talking about the law of Moore's Law?"
"Yes, Moore's Law determines that once you enter the chip, you need to keep moving forward, one step behind, you will fall behind step by step, especially state-owned enterprises, if you want to build, you must be fast, negotiate for two or three years, approve two or three years, build a factory for two or three years, and when it is put into production, seven or eight years have passed, then it will be lost."
This celebration will definitely be reported, and the whole country will know about it, so taking this opportunity, Qin Feng wants to tell everyone the laws of the chip industry and save some companies from losing their money.
"As for DRAM, that is, the memory chip we just taped out, the battle in this field is even more intense." Qin Feng continued: "If you make money for a year, you may lose money for two years, if you want to enter this industry, you need to think clearly, what to do when you lose money, whether it ends in a gloomy end, or you still have to lose more money, and boil your opponent to death, so that you can make more money." ”
Leader Zhou frowned.
If they want to enter the chip industry, they plan to introduce NEC's memory chip production technology and manufacture memory chips, and he would never have thought that the battle in memory chips would be so fierce.
The leaders of state-owned enterprises have to bear a lot of pressure, and when they make money, they can say that they lose money. Do you still have the courage to continue throwing money into it?
Why don't you change the direction and stop engaging in memory chips? If that's the case, then there's no need to work with NEC.
Nobita Ida was also silent, he knew that Qin Feng was right, the fight in the chip industry was even more bloody, in fact, if it was just a fight for technology, they would not be afraid of the island country, but the Yankees would be biased!
"Next, I would like to invite Leader Wang to speak!"
Wang Lao came up: "On behalf of the electronics department, I would like to congratulate the Pacific Group, you have successfully mass-produced the world's most advanced memory chips, which has inspired our morale and set an outstanding example. ”
The meeting lasted for half an hour, the applause was almost continuous, many people's hands were swollen and still didn't know it, a new era in the East has arrived, and the chips in the East will soar from now on!
At the end of the meeting, the big guy didn't disperse, the time was just noon, of course it was time to eat, the Pacific Group family had a big business, and they couldn't eat a meal, so the big guy came to the cafeteria from the conference room and continued to celebrate.
Between the staggered discussions, Leader Zhou came over with a wine glass: "Mr. Qin, I am from Shougang, just call me Lao Zhou, listen to your words today, I am like a Daigo empowerment, we Shougang want to enter the chip industry, is it a bit risky to take the road of memory?" ”
"For the uninitiated, entering the chip industry is a risk, after all, I said, the chip industry must continue to invest and upgrade, are you ready to keep throwing money?" Qin Feng looked at the old man in front of him, and he was also full of respect, after all, it was not easy for Zhou Lao to develop and grow with Shougang until now, he shouted out the slogan of Shougang's future without the surname Gang, and actively transformed, but in the end failed, Shougang finally transformed into a real estate enterprise.
The chip industry is not so easy to enter, take the production of memory chips as an example, at the peak, there were forty or fifty companies in the world, Intel is still the boss in this field, and what happened later? Later, there were only three left in the world, and at that time, it was finally a monopoly position, and when the price was low, then set a fire to yourself, or cut off the electricity, artificially causing production interruptions, the market was in short supply, and the price was swishing up.
Since Shougang wants to get involved in this industry, Qin Feng will put forward some pertinent suggestions according to the vision of those who have come before.
"Mr. Qin, if we cooperate with NEC, then we can get a steady stream of technical support from NEC, and their technology can be upgraded and delegated to us." Pan Hongmin followed behind Leader Zhou and came over to toast together, and when he heard Qin Feng's question, he immediately spoke.
This is your last chance! They have to hug NEC's thighs, so they can synchronize with NEC!
"Decentralization?" Qin Feng glanced at this guy: "Have you negotiated with NEC and discussed these conditions?" In the future, NEC has a new product, and I will hand it over to you as soon as possible? Ask them, will they be willing? ”
Pan Hongmin stopped talking.
"I'll give you a prediction, you are now spending a lot of money, the introduction of NEC's technology, at most is synchronized with the present, and when you are approved, it will take 91 years, put into production 93 to 94 years, then the technology will be outdated, you will find NEC to ask for new technology, they will have to ask for licensing fees, if you don't have money, then take the shares in exchange, don't look at your current shares, so after a few operations, you will be squeezed out." Qin Feng said: "It also depends on how NEC's global business is, if the business is sluggish, then NEC's own factory orders are insufficient, will you still be allowed to produce?" ”
Pan Hongmin's face turned red: "Mr. Qin, NEC Company will not do this, they are our friends!" ”
"There are no fathers and sons in the mall, and friends are fart." Qin Feng pushed the other party back with a word: "They will make friends with you at most, and it is impossible for them to make friends with Shougang." ”
"Pan Hongmin, go back." Leader Zhou naturally heard the meaning of Qin Feng's words, asked his subordinates to go back, and then continued to look at Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, please give me some directions." ”
"In the field of computer chips, graphics cards are a rising star, and there is not too strong competitiveness, if you get involved in this industry, you should be able to kill a piece of the sky."
The fierce battle in the field of memory is entirely because there is no technical content, but it is some MOS tubes specially used for storage, plus some control circuits, after the technical standards are formulated, many manufacturers can produce, just like the current Pacific Group chip factory, four in one, to create a 4MB memory chip.
The graphics card is much more complicated.
At the beginning, there was no graphics card, the display chip of the computer was directly soldered on the motherboard, and then gradually became the form of the board, generally speaking, IBM pushed out the 5150 computer in 81 years, which is considered to be the first to use the 2D graphics acceleration card, but at that time, it mainly processed text data, and the performance was very poor to meet the use, but in the era of graphics display, the graphics card will become more and more important, and even later, the graphics card will be more popular than the processor. Look at how good Lao Huang is in later generations, he doesn't play games at all.
It is very appropriate to lay out this field now. If it weren't for the fact that Ni Lao and the others were too busy, Qin Feng would have wanted to enter this industry.
"But we don't have the ability to design."
"None? Then dig a team and come over, anyway, you Shougang has money. ”
