Eindhoven City Hall, Fujian and Taiwan Chip and AWSL jointly rented this place to hold a press conference. Any technological breakthrough will attract widespread attention, especially an immersion lithography machine that breaks through the "physical limits". Therefore, the huge city hall was filled with reporters and media from all walks of life early, and various long guns and short guns were set up, waiting for this epoch-making press conference. "Is this true? Has AWSL really broken the limits of physics so that Moore's Law can continue to extend? Why do I feel like this is a scam?" This is what the audience at the scene and in front of the cameras around the world are thinking about Issues that arise. After all, this kind of so-called "breaking the limit" press conference has not only been held once in the world. Just half a year ago, Likang also announced that its newly developed X-ray scanning machine can break the limit and realize circuit manufacturing processes below 193 nanometers. But it was later discovered that Likang was a scam. With the line width of X-rays, it was impossible to achieve such precision. The reason why Likang released such news was just to save the company's stock price. The former Likang president was dismissed after the scandal broke out. So is the current joint press conference between Fujian and Taiwan chips and AWSL the same routine? In order to make a name for the newly established Fujian-Taiwan chip? As Wang Zhongmin appeared with a group of AWSL executives, everyone sat up and waited for the answer. Wang Zhongmin did not whet his appetite and directly announced the successful development of a new generation of extreme ultraviolet immersion lithography machine. "We used to be conservative and skeptical. Some people said that bubbles would inevitably be produced in the water, which would cause the refraction of light to be uncontrolled; some said that the high-energy laser beam would heat up, causing damage to the photolithography; others said that the exposure platform needed to move at high speed and could not Keep the water on the exposure platform. ¡°I want to say that these are real problems, but they have been solved through technical means. According to our current research results, the new generation of lithography machines can already be used. Advancing to the precision of 65 nanometers." Wang Zhongmin took out a chip the size of a fingernail and told everyone excitedly: "Now we can double the number of transistors based on the past, while reducing energy consumption by 10%. times, and if we continue to invest in technology research and development, I am confident that we will continue to break through 65 nanometers in accordance with Moore¡¯s Law!¡± Huh? There was an uproar at the scene, and all the cameras were aimed at Wang Zhongmin and they took pictures frantically, because if what he said was true, then this is an epoch-making technology. The press conference was not just about announcing the success of the lithography machine. The person in charge of AWSL also announced that Wang Zhongmin and his Fujian and Taiwan chips hold 20% of AWSL's shares, and Fujian and Taiwan chips will also become the company's top priority supplier. client. Compared with the previous success of the lithography machine, the subsequent news of holding shares and supply priority did not cause any waves. After all, everyone knew that they were jointly developed, and even Wang Zhongmin and Fujian Taiwan Chip still held the key. technology, so AWSL doesn¡¯t have many options. For Wang Zhongmin to bring such a surprise, Madison brought the heads of Silicon Valley chip manufacturers such as IMB and Gaoxun to Europe as soon as possible. They rented Weisha Castle to hold a celebration banquet for Wang Zhongmin. "Mr. Wang, congratulations! You have successfully created a miracle. I have known for a long time that you are a person favored by God!" Not only Madison, but also the heads of other chip companies raised their glasses to Wang Zhongmin. congratulate. Wang Zhongmin bowed his back, responded one by one with a smile on his face, and said very humbly: "My success is inseparable from the help of all gentlemen. Without all gentlemen, even if there are ten Wang Zhongmin, I would not be able to do this." Wang Zhongmin Min Ye took the initiative to raise his glass: "Although the immersion lithography machine has been successfully developed, Fujian and Taiwan chips still cannot do without your support, because I plan to lead Fujian and Taiwan chips to take the path of a complete foundry, so I also hope that you will Sir, can you give me more help and support?" Although the atmosphere was still very warm, the heads of manufacturers such as IMB and Gaoxun all showed disdain. "I'm afraid Mr. Wang is thinking too much, right?" "We just hope that Mr. Wang can give us priority in supplying us with a new generation of immersion lithography machines." "You know that what we represent is the future of chips, so just be careful Just provide us with photolithography technology and that¡¯s it.¡± These disdainful words hit Wang Zhongmin hard, making his figure become more stooped, and the smile on his face became slightly stiff, but he still tried his best to show it. own happiness. "But gentlemen, in order to promote the research and development of a new generation of immersion lithography machines, I have invested all the funds from Fujian and Taiwan chips. I really need an order now."??Get the funds back! I hope you gentlemen can give me a chance" Wang Zhongmin's tone was almost begging. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have imagined that he was so high-spirited at the press conference today, and was hailed by the media as "single-handedly" "The man who pushed the times"? However, this result was already doomed since Wang Zhongmin accepted Madison's conditions, accepted the full control of the Yang Kee Group, and accepted the other party's leniency in the non-competition agreement. Your net worth Your life is in the hands of others. No matter how talented you are, you can only kneel down and be a dog. What's more, this is what Wang Zhongmin thinks is the best choice. Seeing that the scene was a bit stiff, Madison's mouth curled up slightly. He hooked Wang Zhongmin's shoulder to the side. "Wang, I can understand your mood. After all, you have just created an epoch-making miracle, and you can't wait to show it to the world" Wang Zhongmin was anxious to explain that he didn't mean it, but McGrady Xun interrupted him: "Wang, I hope you can understand that the answer of yes or no is not important, and regarding IMB and Gaoxun's chip foundry, it's not that I don't believe in your technical ability, it's just that I think You are not ready yet. " It was so clear what Madison meant by this. Wang Zhongmin was dumbfounded at the time. "Then what if I, oh no, it's a Fujian-Taiwan chip? There is also your investment in this, Mr. Madison! "Wang Zhongmin humbly hoped that Madison could give him a way to survive. But Madison just smiled coldly: "Of course I hope that my investment can get the best return. " This sentence made Wang Zhongmin's eyes light up and he thought there was something going on. But then Madison said: "So I need you to occupy the entire East Asian market as soon as possible. " Wang Zhongmin was confused at the time. He was a little unbelievable. Unexpectedly, after going around for a long time, didn't Madison help him convince companies like IMB and Gaoxun to hand over the designed chips to him for OEM, and instead let him develop the Asian market? "But Mr. Madison, you may not understand that the Asian market is basically monopolized by Liben's Likang Company, and Likang has been operating in the Asian market for many years. Whether it is Sansang Company or mainland semiconductor companies, they basically rely on Likang. Lithography technology, I" Madison waved his hand and interrupted: "Mr. Wang Zhongmin, I think as your investor, I am not here to listen to you complain about these difficulties, but you must complete this task! " "I know you want chip OEMs from IMB and Gaoxun, but you have also been with Texas Instruments for so many years. Don't you know that we at Yangji Enterprises always value trade secrets the most? So the only orders you can grab are in Asia. This is also the meaning of my investment! " Madison finally patted Wang Zhongmin on the shoulder: "I hope you won't disappoint me. " Madison finally added: "By the way, regarding your new immersion lithography machine, let's assemble it for our partners first. " Wang Zhongmin's face was full of bitterness. He couldn't say anything except a clear answer. On the other side, Madison and Silicon Valley executives were clinking glasses happily. They looked at Wang Zhongmin with disdain in their eyes. "It's just an old dog, even if it's a little bit You shouldn't compete with the master for bones! " When the entire Western world is immersed in the development of a new generation of lithography machines, breaking through the physical limits of locked chips, and cheering, in the faculty dormitory of Yenching University of Science and Technology, Wang Rujun is very lonely and bitter. " I am never as good as him! I had the best resources in the country, and twenty top universities cooperated in research. Even Mr. Zhou, you got me so many impossible accessories, but in the end I still failed! "Not only Wang Rujun, but also Du Peng, Ren Lujun, Ambassador Han Zhen and other relevant participants all have this regret. After all, they all thought that everyone was going to the same place, and they also took advantage of the European crisis to bypass sanctions. We got a lot of tight parts and were united, thinking we could take the lead, but who knew we would lose in the end? ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal actually. " Zhou Ming said: "You have done a good job. The semiconductor technology accumulation in Fujian and Taiwan is better than ours. What's more, they also have the support of the world's top technology. Even your original technical team from Texas Instruments , and most of them went to Wang Zhongmin. " Zhou Ming said emphatically: "You have tried your best. " "I'm sorry, I have failed you and the people of the country. Maybe I am not suitable to be the leader of the semiconductor industry. "Wang Rujun said, with pain, annoyance, and a little confusion. Zhou Ming can understand his current state.He is proud, especially with the whole-hearted cooperation from the whole country and the continuous help from his side abroad to break through the blockade. No matter how you look at it, this is a script of learning from the ancestors and working together to create miracles, but in the end it actually failed. This couldn't help but make him doubt his ability. Zhou Ming smiled: "But I don't think the current situation is that bad. On the contrary, it's better." Wang Rujun smiled bitterly: "You don't need to comfort me. I know how much I failed this time." "I'm not trying to comfort you. You are stating a fact," Zhou Ming said. Zhou Ming¡¯s confident tone puzzled Wang Rujun, who had no idea where this confidence came from.
