This young founder is so ambitious!
A CEO of a semiconductor company pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses: "It is said that One-stop Company is exploring 18-inch wafers. Are the rumors true?"
Some time ago, news circulated on the Internet, shocking the entire industry!
There are no factories in the world today that dare to make 18-inch wafers, and Chen Yao wants to be the first to do so.
Chen Yao said calmly: "Yes, the company is already developing it."
The boss was shocked. He didn¡¯t understand: ¡°The 18-inch production line will cost tens of billions and will have a huge impact on the entire semiconductor industry. Do you really think it is necessary to build it?¡±
The current 12-inch ones are pretty good, but these semiconductor bosses have little incentive to upgrade.
¡°If we really follow Chen Yao¡¯s lead, we will have to invest a lot of money in research and development, which will cause the company to lose money.
Chen Yao said: "It is a trend for the diameter of wafers to become larger and larger. As long as it goes through the pain, it will usher in a brighter future."
At the beginning, the entire industry experienced pains when upgrading from 8 inches to 12 inches. Now 12 inches has become the mainstream.
Chen Yao smiled and said: "It's like 5g. Many people question why we have to enter the 5g era."
"As we all know, the cost of 5g base stations is higher, the operating costs are higher, and the tariffs are higher than 4g. Why should we develop 5g?"
"The principle is the same. This is an inevitable trend. It can bring some real benefits. As for the cost, with the breakthrough of technology and its large-scale promotion, the price will also decrease."
The bosses looked at each other, feeling that what he said made sense.
However, it still cannot eliminate their worries.
Chen Yao said: "Our company will help you reduce costs, as long as the cost of production equipment is reduced."
¡°With the mass production of 18-inch wafers, we can lead the world!¡±
For nearly a hundred years, the United States has been leading the world's semiconductor industry. From 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, to 8 inches, and now 12 inches, it is the United States that leads.
Why can China only follow other people¡¯s steps to upgrade? You can only follow others behind you?
The 18-inch era is a great opportunity for overtaking in corners.
Apart from wafers, what Chen Yao is most concerned about right now is the chip production process.
¡°Currently, domestic chip production is still strangled by the United States, making it difficult to produce high-end chips.
Although Chen Yao has made the best lithography machine, top-notch chips cannot be produced by lithography machines alone. If the production process is not good, it still cannot be made.
Just like Samsung, they can get the best EUV lithography machine, but the chips in the 7nm process are not as good as Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
While improving the production process, Chen Yao will also help suppliers strengthen their technical level.
The purpose is to create a production line that is completely independent of the United States!
In the long run, we must not only get rid of dependence, but also lead the world in some key technologies and dominate the development process of the world's semiconductor industry.
It¡¯s not that you rely on him, but that he relies on himself in turn, and by then the whole situation will be reversed.
Coming out of the conference room, Chen Yao walked into the laboratory.
At this moment, Zhou Weiming, wearing a lab coat and a mask, was looking at the screen in front of him, monitoring the performance of semiconductor materials in high-temperature environments.
The main research object of this laboratory is third-generation semiconductors.
The material being tested inside the glass is the third-generation semiconductor, gallium nitride!
Compared with the material "silicon", many people are still relatively unfamiliar with gallium nitride. In fact, this material has already entered many people's lives.
Many mobile phone fast chargers now use gallium nitride.
?Compared to silicon materials, third-generation semiconductor materials can withstand greater voltages, and the size of the charger can also be made smaller.
Zhou Weiming tested in the laboratory and used a gallium nitride charging head to charge the battery. The maximum power can reach 1500w and it can be fully charged in one minute.
Of course, the mobile phone battery must be able to withstand such a large power. Not to mention whether it will explode and catch fire, the battery life will not be long if it is charged like this.
Therefore, researching a new generation of batteries is also the next technology that the team needs to break through.
"Mr. Chen, you're here." Zhou Weiming turned around and found that Chen Yao stood silently watching him do the experiment.
Chen Yao asked: "Researchhow is the progress? "
"It went very smoothly." A smile appeared on Zhou Weiming's tired face: "The key technology has made a breakthrough. I believe it won't be long before the third generation semiconductor materials can be put into production."
In today¡¯s world, almost all large semiconductor companies are conquering the third generation of semiconductors, which is a brand new and vast market.
Whoever has better technology can take over the world.
In the silicon era, Japan¡¯s silicon materials were very strong and almost monopolized most of the world¡¯s market.
In the third-generation semiconductor era, Chen Yao must seize the opportunity no matter what!
He put on a mask and a lab coat, and kept doing tests with Zhou Weiming.
Although he likes singing and dancing, he seems to be in the entertainment industry. In fact, he spends most of his working time in the laboratory doing research.
Making an album for Qin Yunzi only took one day.
Work and entertainment are both available.
Work is to live better and enjoy life.
Chen Yao is not a workaholic. Although he does not spend a lot of time on work every day, he is more efficient.
He can spare more time to do things he likes to do more.
In fact, Chen Yao has been involved in the material research and development of third-generation semiconductors. Without him, the project would not have progressed so fast.
Don¡¯t think that scientific research is boring. When you fall in love with this job and get involved, you will find many interesting things.
Especially when you make a technological breakthrough, the feeling of joy is very strong.
During the day, Chen Yao stayed in the laboratory.
In addition to gallium nitride, another semiconductor material-silicon carbide has also made amazing breakthroughs!
Silicon carbide is also a third-generation semiconductor material. Tesla electric vehicles use this material. In the future, it will have wide application value in electric vehicles, 5G high-frequency transmitting base stations, etc.
"How is it? Is there any new progress when you smile so happily?" Guan Xinyan walked in wearing a mask.
Zhou Weiming smiled and nodded: "The most critical technologies of gallium nitride and silicon carbide have achieved breakthroughs, and we can put into production third-generation semiconductors."
Guan Xinyan¡¯s face showed joy, it is indeed good news!
"I have some great news for you."
Chen Yao and Zhou Weiming looked at her expectantly.
She smiled happily and said: "The Micro Jinglong team has made a key breakthrough in the 1nm production process. We will soon be able to achieve the production of 1nm chips!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
