Chen Yao really misses you and dare not think about it.
He dares to make 18-inch wafers?
¡°The most powerful chip foundries in the world don¡¯t dare to make it. Samsung, Intel and the like are only 12 inches.
Technology is not the main reason. International giants basically have the strength to conduct research and development.
The biggest problem is funding.
Investing in an 18-inch production line requires a huge investment.
A 12-inch wafer production line costs about 3 billion US dollars, but an 18-inch wafer production line costs 10 billion US dollars!
With the cost increasing significantly, major international manufacturers are afraid to do it.
Once upon a time, Musk, the president of Tesla Motors, said that if it were not for cost reasons, humans could already immigrate to Mars.
This is real.
The technology to immigrate to Mars is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the cost.
Some technologies look cool and cool, but you also have to consider costs and benefits.
A male reporter asked: "No company in the world dares to make 18-inch wafers. Have you ever considered the cost issue?"
Chen Yao nodded: "Cost is the biggest obstacle, but cost can also be solved through technology. Next, in the exploration of 18 inches, solving the problem of excessive production equipment costs will be the focus of the company's technical team."
With that said, the interview ends.
Subsequently, Xu Weidong and his team evacuated and left in a car.
The new team moved in, and Chen Yao dispatched a large number of elite talents in the semiconductor industry.
This group of talents comes from the Micro-Jinglong Army. They have developed photolithography machines and are the best in the semiconductor industry.
The president of the company is Guan Xinyan.
She once served as an executive in a well-known foreign chip company and is very familiar with the chip industry. She is most suitable to serve as president.
Don¡¯t think that making chips is only for men. There are also very powerful women in the chip industry.
Hua Wei is the president of HiSilicon Qilin, a woman who is called the Queen of Chips.
Of course, Huawei only does design and does not produce. Being strangled by the United States means that it is just producing.
The fab acquired by Chen Yaoxin is to solve chip production problems.
Although the company has successfully developed the most advanced lithography machine in the world, if you want to produce the best chips in the world, not only the lithography machine, but also the production process must keep up.
Just like Intel, it can get the best EUV lithography machine from ASML in the Netherlands, but its production process is not good and it still cannot make the best mobile phone chips.
Among so many foundries, chip foundry is definitely the most powerful one.
Currently, 80% of the factory¡¯s employees are technicians.
After Guan Xinyan becomes the president of this factory, Legend Company will arrange for another interim president to take office.
In the evening, the president¡¯s office.
Chen Yao, Sun Zhennan, and Guan Xinyan sat together to have dinner.
¡°Brother Yao, do you want to change the name of this factory?¡± Sun Zhennan picked up a big radish and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It must be changed." Chen Yao said firmly.
It¡¯s so awkward to give a Chinese chip factory a foreign name, Maxwell.
Now that it has been fully acquired, you have the right to change the name of the factory.
Guan Xinyan drank the chicken soup in small spoonfuls: "What do you think is better to call it?"
Sun Zhennan suggested: "It is better to call it Zhongjing International, or Huaxin International."
"No." Guan Xinyan decisively rejected it.
When many domestic bosses change the name of their company, they like to add a Chinese or Chinese character, regardless of whether this is equivalent to patriotism.
But this name is outdated.
It¡¯s like the older generation changing their children¡¯s names to Jianguo, Guohua, Jianhua, etc. There are a lot of people in the same school with the same name.
??How many modern parents would change their children¡¯s names to such a name?
Chen Yao has always had a principle in choosing names, which are simple, easy to remember, and connotative.
"I've already thought of a name."
Chen Yao picked up a red ballpoint pen and wrote a line of large characters on the white paper.
One-stop semiconductor company!
"One dragon?" Guan Xinyan and Sun Zhennan looked at the white paper and were confused.
Chen Yaofang?Ballpoint pen: "The company's name is Yilong."
"Does it have any connotation?" Guan Xinyan can roughly guess that the name is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Chen Yao smiled: "There will be a staff meeting later, and I will tell everyone then."
Sun Zhennan nodded slightly and changed the subject:
"I just listened to the press conference. You said that in addition to making 12-inch and 18-inch wafers, you will continue to make 8-inch wafers. Why? I feel that the 8-inch wafers are almost eliminated."
"Not yet." Chen Yao said: "Fingerprint recognition, power management, etc., these chips are relatively cost-sensitive and do not have high requirements on process technology, so they are suitable for production in 8-inch wafer fabs."
Of course, 8-inch is indeed not mainstream anymore. Nowadays, major international manufacturers are making 12-inch. If you want to bring the wafer factory back to life, you must rely on 12-inch.
Wafers are not the biggest problem. Domestic chip production lags behind that of the United States. The biggest reason is the chip production process.
The development trend of wafers is that the bigger the better.
The chip is just the opposite, the smaller it is, the better.
The most powerful chip foundry in China can only achieve 14nm, while the most advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has achieved 5nm, and 3nm is almost ready for mass production.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the all-staff meeting was held.
All technical personnel from the fab were present and took their seats one by one.
Chen Yao stood on the stage and said with a smile: "Good evening, classmates!"
A simple opening statement immediately resonated with everyone, and applause immediately broke out.
No matter how old you are or how experienced you are, you are still a student in the chip industry. Only by continuous learning and exploration can you achieve breakthroughs.
This is what Chen Yao has always emphasized, the company¡¯s classmate culture.
Chen Yao quickly tapped the keyboard a few times with his fingers, and then the text was projected on the big screen behind him through the projector.
A one-stop semiconductor technology company.
Chen Yao said with a smile: "When we were eating just now, the senior sister and classmate Sun Zhennan were asking why it was called this name?"
"Actually, the answer is very simple, and you may have already guessed it."
Chen Yao raised his voice: "The industrial chain involved in chips is very long. Our company is not just engaged in the production of chips.
From chip architecture, design, production, packaging, and testing, we have to do everything ourselves. "
His meaning is very obvious, that is, to finish from beginning to end!
Huawei is strong in chip design, but it does not have the ability to produce high-end chips.
Although Semiconductor Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has strong chip production capabilities, it is unable to design high-end chips.
There are only two companies in the world, Samsung and Intel, that can complete the design and production of mobile phone chips.
One-stop semiconductor is to challenge Samsung and Intel¡¯s dominance in the semiconductor field! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
