Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liang Yuan stood up and planned to go to the cafeteria, but suddenly an idea came to his mind. The technology of electron beam direct writing can be used on supercomputers.

    The supercomputing output of Hong Kong-based power collection is already low enough. Even if electron beam direct writing is used to produce it, no matter how low the production efficiency is, it will not be any more unreliable than the current elite chips that rely on luck.

    With a new direction, Liang Yuan first forgot about the jokes, eating, etc., turned around and sat down again.

    "Well, after Sister Wang Xin comes back later, one of you two will go out and tell Fang Weilin that we can purchase one or two~, no, at least ten electron beam direct writing lithography machines first, but their entire team must come to the factory.  , you also know the requirements for successful domestic product research and development~"

    There is a true saying in the scientific research of the Republic, which is to solve the problem first, and then consider whether it is easy to use.

    Due to the weak foundation of basic science and technology in the Republic, and the fact that the review system does not involve market applications, the 0.5 micron electron beam direct writing lithography machine brought by Fang Weilin is likely to be lithographed for several 8086-level chips, or even  A few 0.5 micron lines were engraved on the wafer, and then the success of the research and development was directly announced.

    As for how to link with other equipment in mass production and how to improve the yield, there are definitely no conditions and funds to consider.

    In other words, the photolithography machine highly recommended by Fang Weilin is definitely a semi-finished product under the standards of Hong Kong-based power collection, so Liang Yuan proposed that the entire R&D team come to the factory.

    "What are you planning to do~??" Liu Feiyang only said half of what he said.

    "Supercomputing's high-traffic routers use electron beam direct writing to use a new process. If possible, supercomputing will also use a new process."

    The wafer production lines currently in operation at Gangji Electric are all failed products of domestic technology introduced in the 1980s. They are pieces of junk and do not involve electron beam direct writing of mask templates at all.  Electrical masks are sent to overseas OEMs for processing. Although the price is expensive, it does not show much when it is allocated to the extremely huge domestic chip production volume.

    There are so many complicated things that Yuanjia manages. A technical novice like Liang Yuan doesn¡¯t know the details of mask template processing at all. Therefore, when supercomputing production was limited to process technology and could not expand production capacity, Liang Yuan could only do  Stare.

    However, Su Liangyu and others know that electron beam direct writing technology can break through the production bottleneck of supercomputing. The problem is that the market for chip mask equipment is not big. The current global market capacity is ten units per year. This kind of elitism is almost manual.  equipment, which directly leads to the high price of electron beam direct writing lithography machines. The cheapest one overseas starts at US$4 million.

    What¡¯s even more embarrassing is that foreigners are not fools. Even if the electron beam direct writing lithography machine is imported, it is the same as the imported overseas supercomputer. It can only be used for civilian projects or scientific research and teaching. There will be foreign technical personnel stationed in the factory.  Supervision, Su Liangyu did not dare to take huge risks and use this thing for mass production of supercomputers.

    "Young master, you can react really quickly to this idea~"

    Liu Feiyang gave a thumbs up and flattered him.

    Liang Yuan rolled his eyes at Liu Feiyang and said: "There is no sincerity in the pretense. This level is at least fifty Nie Xiaotians behind that of Sister Wang Xin~ I don't believe you haven't used electron beam direct writing technology to break through the bottleneck of supercomputing production capacity.  Thoughts."

    In another scenario, Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian might have mentioned to Liang Yuan that electron beam direct writing technology could be used in supercomputer production, but today the two big bows dangling in front of their eyes kept reminding the three of them that the boss  Something must have happened between them and the boss lady, so it would be better to run away early. The three of them all understood that even if a finished product of an electron beam direct writing lithography machine suddenly appeared in the Republic, it would almost certainly not be in line with Hong Kong-based power collection.  Yes, sooner or later we have to make major changes, and we have a lot of time to report, not least of which is the moment at hand.

    ¡°On the other hand, Nie Xiaotian, who was lying in Liang Yuan¡¯s mouth, glanced at Liu Feiyang triumphantly, becoming a unit of measurement for something, even one to fifty, I don¡¯t know how proud this guy is.

    The historical process of the entire era was kept in Liang Yuan's mind. After all, Liang Yuan stood on the shoulders of the future and looked back at the present. Liang Yuan thought about it and asked Su Liangyu and others to use electron beam direct writing technology to change supercomputing.  The reason for the predicament was clearly thought out.

    "Let me think about it, you didn't report the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck of supercomputing production capacity. Maybe even if you can buy it, foreigners will be very careful about the equipment. Well, we still have a lot of shameful things~"

    Although Liang Yuan tried his best to separate Yuanjia and Qiansuo in reality, in Liang Yuan's heart they were actually two sides of the same coin. Thinking about the things Qiansuo was messing with, how dare foreigners get involved.

    Liang Yuan stood up while talking, but sat down again in the blink of an eye.

    "I stillI won¡¯t go out. Fang Weilin¡¯s mood has been ups and downs a lot today, so I won¡¯t go out to join in the fun. Liu Feiyang, go tell him about buying ten units.  "

    Hearing what Liang Yuan said, everyone in the room laughed. Wang Xin went out to attack Fang Weilin, telling him to change his career. You have no future in this. It is estimated that Fang Weilin had just accepted the reality at this time, and then Liu Feiyang went out  He resurrected the project and told Fang Weilin to come to ten units to test the waters first.

    ¡°These days, the global annual sales of electron beam direct writing lithography machines is only ten units. From Hell to Heaven, it¡¯s strange that Fang Weilin is not excited.

    Liu Feiyang nodded and went out to inform Fang Weilin to come back to life. Liang Yuan looked at Nie Xiaotian and said slowly: "I plan to find some talents in the field of heat dissipation to join your project team. Our process technology is backward, and heat dissipation of consumer products will definitely be a big problem in the future.  Let¡¯s not consider electricity for now, let¡¯s start early on heat dissipation before overseas people pay attention to it.¡±

    "We are in the military industry for air cooling. I asked my mother for technology. Brilliance's current fan strength must be the best in the world. Other water cooling, oil cooling and so on will also be developed."

    Even the ugliness of the swept fan has been solved by Li Yuanling. Liang Yuan said that Brilliance¡¯s fan technology is the best in the world, which is really not bragging. This technology has been beating the other side of the Pacific Ocean for at least three years.

    "Young Master, will you be able to get into military technology?"

    Nie Xiaotian asked a little worriedly.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just send someone to Brilliance for the latest technology, and I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡±

    Liang Yuan showed a smile that fit the character of a domineering president, which made Nie Xiaotian gasp. After hanging out with Liang Yuan for a long time, Nie Xiaotian was sure that Liang Yuan was thinking of something deceptive.

    After chatting with Nie Xiaotian for a while about equipment cooling and other messy ideas, Liang Yuan was still a little worried about electron beam direct writing technology.

    Liang Yuan smiled a little sheepishly and said, "I'm worried. I plan to go out and check out the electron beam lithography machine. I hope Fang Weilin's mental quality is extra high."

    Hearing what Liang Yuan said, the remaining people in the room looked at each other and smiled, and stood up and walked outside. Nie Xiaotian said as he walked: "Everyone's attention has recently been focused on the industrial production of domestic equipment and the introduction of new processes from the Federal Republic of Germany.  No one paid much attention to electron beam direct writing technology."

    Liang Yuan understands Nie Xiaotian's statement. The electron beam direct writing technology has not crossed the threshold of mass production since the day it was born. Hong Kong-based power collection must be based on stable mass industrial production. Domestic lithography machines will naturally  The internationally mainstream stepper lithography machine is also used.

    Fang Weilin was arranged to the conference room downstairs from Liang Yuan. It was not a particularly confidential matter. The door of the conference room was not locked. Liang Yuan and the others did not swipe their cards when they came to the door of the conference room. They pushed in lightly and walked in.

    At the not-so-large round conference table, Wang Xin and Liu Feiyang were sitting at one end. Fang Weilin and his subordinates were sitting at the other end. There was silence in the conference room. Fang Weilin was thinking with a slight frown on his face.  What, even Liang Yuan and the others didn't notice when they came in quietly.

    Liang Yuan didn't go to the conference table. He just found a chair and sat behind Wang Xin. As soon as he sat down, Wang Xin handed over a notebook. Liang Yuan took it and saw that it was a brief record written by Wang Xin himself.  , can be used as meeting minutes.

    Like what Liang Yuan said, Fang Weilin's mood was really like being on a roller coaster. When Wang Xin came out to receive him, Fang Weilin was very excited. All his hard work was finally in vain. He finally found a senior executive of Hong Kong Base Electric Power Group who could talk to him.

    Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian have all appeared in domestic electronics industry magazines more than once, and Fang Weilin recognized them immediately.

    It is said that the domestic electronics industry magazines in the Republic have almost become the exclusive corporate magazines of Hong Kong Base Electric. The technology of the electronics industry is updated very fast. The only company in China that can barely keep up with the pace of foreign updates is Hong Kong Base Electric. If it does not report on Hong Kong Base Electric, how can it go?  It is reported that a certain institute successfully imitated 80186.

    If the news about Hong Kong-based power collectors is not published, no one will read the magazine. In addition to this, there is another bigger reason that promotes the evolution of domestic electronics industry magazines into Hong Kong-based power collectors enterprise magazines.

    The reason is money. Even in the early 1990s, chips had to go through more than 300 processes from sand to finished product. Since Liang Yuan is determined to promote the localization of process technology, in addition to the core components of photolithography machines, etching machines, and ion implantation,  In addition to components, equipment and materials such as air exchange pumps, workshop work trolleys, grinding, packaging, chemical preparations, etc. are all required.

    The launch of the Torch Project is mainly aimed at core equipment, and other small-tech Hong Kong-based power collectors are looking for partners from domestic electronic magazines.

    In the early 1990s, Republic Factory was still quite shy and embarrassed to advertise in a big way to brag about itself, soThe so-called advertising is to first publish something similar to a soft article.

    The article first talks about the development progress of the big names in the international industry, then talks about the degree of copycats by domestic friends, and finally talks about how good our technology is. There are also some touching examples of hard work interspersed in the middle, and finally, a proud expression of coming to our factory.  The negotiated partners will eat and drink for free.

    Hong Kong Base Electric just looked for partners from the advertising articles in domestic electronic magazines and found hundreds of them at once. How could such a major event that directly caused the shock to the entire industry be concealed? When someone discovered that Hong Kong Base Electric was looking for partners  After the introduction of the channel, the soft article (advertising) fees of all electronic industry magazines in the Republic suddenly increased sharply, from a few hundred yuan per issue to several thousand yuan per issue.

    Fang Weilin came to block people at the gate of Hong Kong Base Electricity Collection. To some extent, it was related to the increase in the price of advertising soft articles in electronic industry magazines. Hong Kong Base Electricity Collection was spreading money like a flood. The industry could not hide it. Fang Weilin had known about it for a long time.  Something happened.

    The problem is that the mainstream status of electron beam direct writing lithography machines within Hong Kong Base has been eliminated. Fang Weilin communicated several times by phone. Not only did he not get in touch with the middle managers, but he also failed to get in touch with him in any positive sense.  No feedback signal was received.

    Having no other choice, Fang Weilin turned his attention to soft articles in electronic magazines. As a result, he sadly discovered that the original advertising fee of a few hundred yuan had increased to more than 7,000 yuan.

    If Liang Yuan had not appeared, in the first fifty-five years of the founding of the Republic, the cumulative investment in pure R&D funds in the field of integrated circuits would have been approximately 5 billion yuan, an average of less than 100 million yuan per year.

    This 100 million yuan of funding is spread across the country to nearly 100 electronics research institutes and more than 300 integrated circuit manufacturing processes. How much money each institute and process can get is too bleak to calculate.

    The Optoelectronics Department of the 841st Institute of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery, where Fang Weilin is located, can be regarded as a typical scientific research institute in the Republic of China in the 1990s.  The dilemma of using all funds to support people.

    Excluding capitation fees, equipment renewal and maintenance, etc., we can invest one to two million in R&D every year. Of course, not all of this R&D spare money of one million is for electron beam direct writing technology. 841  In addition to photolithography machines, chip packaging equipment and Czochralski CNC single crystal growth furnaces are also the research and development directions of the 841 Institute.

    Before Fang Weilin took over the optoelectronics department, the optoelectronics department had been developing electron beam direct writing lithography machines for nine years under the leadership of the old section chief. It was not until the first successful trial operation of the equipment in the middle of this year that the old section chief of the optoelectronics department was relieved.  retire.

    Funds are inherently scarce, so everyone is naturally competing fiercely. After the electron beam direct writing lithography machine is finalized, those who should retire and those who should be promoted cannot still occupy a large amount of funds and delay the personal progress of other department staff.  Unless Fang Weilin can use the electron beam lithography machine to bring profits to the institute.

    Originally, Fang Weilin was at a loss. The global market for electron beam direct writing lithography machines was about a dozen units throughout the year, and 841 would never have thought that he could squeeze into it even in his wildest dreams.

    ¡°Then, Hong Kong-based power collection dropped a huge bomb in the electronic field of the Republic.

    As the project reached the final sprint stage, the originally small amount of R&D funds was spent a little carelessly. As a result, the annual funding of the Optoelectronics Department of No. 841 Institute was spent in the first half of the year. If the department spent several hundred yuan on soft article advertising expenses,  Everyone here can just raise funds together, even if it is ineffective and throw it into the water, it doesn't matter. Once the cost of soft advertising rises to less than 10,000, whether it is to raise funds or throw it into the water, it is not something that Fang Weilin can easily decide.

    Fortunately, Fang Weilin has very strong execution ability. After realizing that things in the office were complicated, he directly adopted the simplest, most confusing and stupidest method, coming to Hong Kong Basic Electric Power Collection to block people.

    Fang Weilin was lucky. He met Liang Yuan and the twins just two days after coming to Nanhu Science and Technology Park, and happened to overhear the three of them chatting. Fang Weilin gave it a try with a cheeky mind and unexpectedly succeeded.

    Wang Xin and Fang Weilin said that when they changed careers, Fang Weilin was really desperate. He finally saw the thigh right in front of his eyes and could hang it on his thigh with his hand. Suddenly he was informed that the screws you brought were of the wrong type and the thigh refused to carry it.  The mood is simply amazing.

    Fang Weilin and Wang Xin, who were shocked, kept talking about how strong the research and development power of the Optoelectronics Department was and how economical it was. As long as some funds are given, the existing electron beam direct writing lithography machine can be improved to the level of industrial production.  .

    Out of politeness, Wang Xin listened quietly. After listening for most of the time, Liu Feiyang came in again and announced a surprising and explosive news that made Fang Weilin shut up. Hong Kong Base Electric Power Collection changed its plan again and decided to purchase ten pieces from the 841st Institute.  Liu Feiyang readily asked Fang Weilin to quote an electron beam direct writing lithography machine, and signed a cooperation contract without any problems.

    Happiness came so suddenly, Fang Weilin stopped talking. Before he came?Weilin never imagined that he would be able to sell ten photolithography machines at once. Originally, Fang Weilin thought that he would be satisfied if he could sell just one so that Hong Kong based power collection could test the waters.

    How should I quote this price? Ten lithography machines were sold at once. If the price was too high, I would be the sinner of the entire office. Fang Weilin was struggling when Liang Yuan came in.

    After reading Wang Xin¡¯s written record, Liang Yuan had a general understanding of the situation in the room. After watching Fang Weilin¡¯s silent entanglement for a while, Liang Yuan whispered to Liu Feiyang in front of him.

    "Liu Feiyang, didn't you give us a rough purchase price?"

    ¡°No one from the Actuarial Department and Data Department of the Logistics Support Center came, so I don¡¯t even know how much it was reported.¡±

    Liu Feiyang answered Liang Yuan's question in a low voice.

    Because Liang Yuan intends to cultivate related industrial chains, the prices given by Hong Kong Base Electric Power Collection when purchasing domestic equipment are relatively loose. In order to avoid the possibility of profit transfer, the actual purchase price is determined by the Actuarial Section, Data Section, and Hong Kong Base of the Logistics Support Center.  The four departments of Jiji Electric Purchasing Department and Hong Kong Jiji Electric¡¯s corresponding technical department jointly confirmed.

    It was too quiet in the conference room. Liang Yuan and Liu Feiyang's whispers finally attracted Fang Weilin's attention. Only then did Fang Weilin realize that the young man he called his great nobleman had also come to the conference room to watch the fun.

    Fang Weilin vaguely heard a few words about price, purchase, etc., and finally made a decision in his heart. If the lithography machine cannot be sold, what future will the optoelectronics department have? Making money or not is secondary, surviving first is the most important thing.  .

    Fang Weilin calculated the institute's investment in the lithography machine project over the years. The average annual investment in the nine years was 400,000 yuan. Including the capitation fee, equipment maintenance probably cost less than 5 million. If the lithography machine can produce ten units, Fang Weilin has  We are confident that the cost will be reduced to less than 2 million per unit. After all, the lithography machine has been finalized and has overcome the big trouble of trial and error. The rapid decline in production costs is certain.

    "If the cost can be quickly reduced to less than two million, and the technical capabilities of the institute are squeezed, the optoelectronics department may be able to make a small windfall and receive a year-end bonus. Fang Weilin gritted his teeth and decided to quote a unit of two million.

    After taking a long breath and calming down, Fang Weilin attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. However, when Fang Weilin opened his mouth to say the number two million, his throat was dry due to nervousness and Fang Weilin did not utter any syllables.

    Realizing that everyone was watching him give the answer, Fang Weilin was so anxious that he stretched out two fingers and paused vigorously in front of him, indicating that there were two million lithography machines.

    Liang Yuan looked at Fang Weilin's dry lips and knew that this person was so nervous that his throat was dry and temporarily speechless. He turned around and motioned to Ning Wanjia on his right to get a glass of water.

    Seeing Fang Weilin stretch out two fingers forcefully, Liang Yuan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out:

    "Twenty million for one unit? It's so cheap."

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s quite cheap~¡±

    ¡°Much cheaper than those abroad~¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s still more cost-effective to purchase in bulk~¡±

    As Liang Yuan¡¯s words of 20 million came to light, Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian successively confirmed the price.

    Fang Weilin was dumbfounded. In Fang Weilin's eyes, the 20 million that Liang Yuan blurted out was nothing. Later, the approval of Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian made Fang Weilin extremely shocked.

    ?? If nothing else, the R&D funds that these three people can mobilize together will definitely exceed 1 billion, which is more than the R&D funds of the electronics industry in the Republic for the whole year. The price of 20 million for these three people is almost certain.
