Interstellar Industrial Age

Chapter 252, about the lithography machine

With the success of the new generation of Pangu computing research, the big boss Qin Yi smashed big and big bonuses, and the entire computer research institute is like a chicken blood, and each and every one has high fighting spirit.

The chip research department is constantly researching the mass production of chips. The chips of the Pangu computer are completely different from the chips on the market today.

Because the working mechanisms of the two are completely different, the chips on the market are all based on the binary working mechanism, while the chips required by the Pangu computer are based on the abacus operation principle.

Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture the chip by himself. One is that there is no such chip in the market, and Qin Yi is also here for long-term consideration.

Once the virtual machine is launched to the entire market, if the core chip is subject to foreign countries, then the foreign country will definitely use the chip as a bargaining chip to attack itself.

This kind of thing happened a few years ago, when the chip was used to threaten another well-known technology company in China.

The urine of foreigners is now clear to everyone.

When you don't have any conflict of interest with them, they will never be stingy with your compliments to show your gentlemanly demeanor.

But when you touch their interests in a certain field, they will pretend to be gentlemen in private. First, they talk about cooperation. If the cooperation fails, they will find a way to acquire you. If the acquisition fails, they will directly overturn the table.

Therefore, the core chip must not be controlled by others. Qin Yi knew this very early and organized people to study chip manufacturing very early.

Chip manufacturing is a real high-tech field. On a global scale, only Uncle Sam is the real master. Whether it is the manufacture of chip raw materials, or the design of chips, etc., all aspects are very powerful.

In addition to Uncle Sam, Samsung in South Korea, Avago in Singapore, and MediaTek and TSMC are also strong players in the chip field.

Huaxia is a rising star in this regard. Although various technologies of chip manufacturing have been touched, and good chips can be produced, the aspects of chip cost, performance, yield, etc. are still unsatisfactory.

Since Qin Yi is determined to show his skills in this field, he will not be content to do only one aspect of it, but he also wants to control the entire chip field in his own hands.

Chip manufacturing is a high-tech field, but it is also a high-investment field. All kinds of research equipment, production equipment, etc. are very expensive, and the investment is very large.

Not to mention anything else, it is the most core lithography machine alone, and any one costs hundreds of millions of dollars. More importantly, because of the "Walsen Agreement", China is a country that belongs to the technical embargo, so light The engraving machine is something that even money can't buy.

In addition to a variety of expensive equipment, the production field of chips is basically fully automated and mechanized. The production environment requires very high requirements, and dust-free is the most basic.

Because the microcircuit on the chip is very small, if it is contaminated with a little dust or the like, the chip will be scrapped. The entire production process is all carried out in a dust-free, fully automatic and fully mechanized production workshop.

Of course, money is a string of numbers to Qin Yi now, and some are money.

Large sums of money are poured down, people are poached, money is spent to buy equipment, etc., and there will be no rest until they come up with their own chips.

In a factory under the Galaxy Electronics Group, Qin Yi, who was wearing a white coat and a white hat, was inspecting the chip production factory, which was constantly being installed and debugged, accompanied by Shen Xu.

This chip production factory is currently the one with the largest investment among the many companies under Qin Yi's command. Even the factory investment under the Galaxy Aerospace Industry Group that produces anti-gravity spacecraft does not have one percent of its investment.

The construction standard of the factory is very advanced. The top construction company in China was hired. The construction alone cost several billions to build a dust-free, constant temperature and humidity factory of the highest standard.

Coupled with the various equipment, instruments, and fully automated and mechanized production lines in the factory, Qin Yi has invested tens of billions of dollars in this factory alone, and it was completely out of money.

"In 2017, China's domestic chip import value has reached more than 2,600 US dollars, and the output value of the global chip market is about 1.5 trillion US dollars, accounting for about 2 points of global GDP that year. about."

"Our country's development in this area has always been constrained by lithography machines, so our country's technology development in this area is very slow, that is, it has only developed faster in recent years."

Shen Xu is an expert in the chip field and is very clear about the global chip market.

While taking Qin Yi to visit, he also introduced the situation in the chip field at home and abroad in detail.

"Lithography?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi also grasped the key to the core.

Some equipment has been dubbed the "Pearl of the Industrial Crown" due to its huge manufacturing difficulty. The most mainstream statement is two major equipment: aero-engine and lithography machine. The most advanced aero-engine is currently quoted in the amount of tens of millions of dollars. level, but the current quotation for the most common lithography machine has exceeded 100 million US dollars.

The degree of integration of the chip depends on the precision of the lithography machine. The lithography machine needs to achieve an image resolution of tens of nanometers or even higher. The two core systems of the lithography machine, the optical system and the alignment system, have higher precision The finer the grooves engraved on the silicon wafer, the higher the integration level of the chip and the stronger the computing power.

At present, 80% of the world's lithography machine market is occupied by the Dutch company ASML, and the EUV lithography machine that can be produced is currently only available in the world by ASML.

"Yes, lithography machine, we couldn't buy this lithography machine with money in the past, it belongs to the embargo, but in the past two years, due to our huge breakthrough in the field of anti-gravity, foreigners have bought Chinese currency for the , for the anti-gravity spaceship, all kinds of embargoed, banned equipment, technology, etc., we can also easily buy it.\

,""The lithography machine in our factory is the most advanced EUV lithography machine from ASMl in the Netherlands. Of course, we are also working hard to overcome the various technologies of the lithography machine. I estimate that we will soon be able to manufacture more advanced photolithography machines ourselves. When the machine is engraved, you won't have to look at their faces."

Speaking of this, Shen Xu's face was also filled with pride.

Huaxia's rapid development in the fields of aviation and aerospace, especially in the field of interstellar space science and technology, has made world-renowned achievements. In order not to fall behind in the new era, foreigners naturally want to get anti-gravity spacecraft as soon as possible.

If you want an anti-gravity spaceship, you need Chinese currency, because Huaxia only recognizes Chinese currency, so many things, technologies, etc. that were not sold before, foreigners are also scrambling to sell them, as for various embargo agreements and so on. Naturally, it has become a piece of paper to wipe the buttocks, and no one cares anymore.

After all, even Uncle Sam has taken the lead in exporting various advanced technologies and equipment to China, so the younger brother below is naturally not to be outdone.

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Qin Yi just remembered that half a year ago, he signed a document. The content of the document was that the Netherlands would export several state-of-the-art lithography machines to him, while his own side promised to The anti-gravity spaceship purchased by the Netherlands is produced in advance and can be settled with a part of the US dollar in settlement.

"This shows that as long as we are stronger, the former enemies will also take the initiative to reach out and make friends with us."

Qin Yi smiled and said with emotion.

Huaxia's changes in the past few years can really be described as earth-shaking. Relying on anti-gravity technology, it has made brilliant achievements in the fields of aerospace and aviation, allowing Huaxia's strength to grow rapidly.

The attitude of countries around the world towards China has also undergone the most obvious change. This technology and equipment embargo has become a dead letter. In other countries, Chinese people can clearly feel the many benefits brought by the strong motherland.

For example, now, as long as you hold a Huaxia ID card, you can travel to most countries in the world without a visa or a visa on arrival. After all, the current Chinese currency is the world currency, something that is urgently needed by all countries in the world.

This was unimaginable a few years ago. Don't say it before, even if you go to Hong Kong and Australia in your own country, you need to apply for a pass, and there are restrictions on the number of times and time, and it is not even as good as the identity of many countries. it works.

"Not only did they take the initiative to reach out, they also asked us, just as we asked them at the beginning, the feng shui took turns, and this year finally came to our house."

Speaking of this topic, Shen Xu was also moved.

He is an expert in the field of chips. He also represented the country in the Netherlands before to buy a lithography machine. He was deliberately made things difficult by various people. The feeling of suffocation that money can't buy things can only be understood by those who have experienced it in person. .

But now, as the person in charge of the chip field of Galaxy Technology Group, knowing that he is researching chips, the Dutch took the initiative to come to the door and send the most advanced lithography machine, hoping that he can get on line with Qin Yi so that he can Get anti-gravity spaceships at great prices and terms.

This feeling is really cool!

"You have to work hard, and strive to understand the technology of the lithography machine as soon as possible. We are making progress, and foreigners are also making progress. Once the advantages of this anti-gravity technology are gone, we will return to the previous level. "

"Only if we really master these technologies, we will not be controlled by others. It is better to be able to catch up in this field and surpass them in one fell swoop."
