- Chen Yao¡¯s idea is really bold!
Zhou Weiming couldn¡¯t even think about it.
Chip factories around the world dare not do it even if they dare to think about it.
Because it¡¯s too difficult!
If you want to make chips, you need a wafer rod. The larger the wafer rod is, the more wafers will be cut out.
Chip giants around the world want to make wafers larger, but the maximum they can achieve now is only 12 inches.
Upgrade from 4 inches to 6 inches, to 8 inches, and then to 12 inches.
Wafer rods have not been upgraded in 20 years. Yes, 12-inch wafer rods are already a technology from 20 years ago.
It has been stuck for 20 years and has not been upgraded.
The technical difficulty is indeed very high, but this is not the main reason, but the cost is too high!
An 18-inch wafer rod production line costs 10 billion U.S. dollars, yes 10 billion U.S. dollars.
This is only the cost of the wafer fab. All production equipment suppliers in the industry, both online and downstream, will upgrade together, and they will have to invest at least 100 billion U.S. dollars, yes hundreds of billions, U.S. dollars.
Even people as wealthy as Samsung don¡¯t dare to play with 18-inch wafer bars.
Zhou Weiming was surprised and stared blankly at Chen Yao for a long time.
Chen Yao put down the 12-inch wafer rod in his hand and said with a relaxed expression: "What, are you surprised?"
"Can you not be surprised? The cost is hundreds of billions of dollars." Zhou Weiming frowned.
No joke, if you really do this, the company will be brought down in minutes.
Although Legend Track has sufficient financial reserves, it cannot afford such a huge amount of funds.
Chen Yao walked in the production workshop and said: "The so-called cost of hundreds of billions of dollars is just Western statistics. In our country, the cost can be greatly reduced."
China has the most complete industrial system and complete supply chain system in the world. The cost of producing the same goods in China is much lower than that in Western countries.
A large ocean transport ship costs 100 million U.S. dollars to produce in the United States, but can be completed in China for 10 million U.S. dollars.
Chen Yao has carefully estimated that the actual cost is really not as much as hundreds of billions.
In the past few decades, the United States has dominated the development of the world's chip industry, from 6 inches, to 8 inches, and then to 12 inches.
Chen Yao will reverse this situation and strive to build the world's first 18-inch production line.
??What technology product can not be upgraded for 20 years?
Wafer rods have not been upgraded for 20 years, which is abnormal. The question is which company dares to take the lead in doing this.
Intel, Samsung once thought about it and tried it, but in the end they were frightened by the terrifying cost, and the project ultimately aborted.
Chen Yao ordered: "Contact all domestic upstream and downstream chip production equipment suppliers, and I will hold a meeting."
Do what you say, and Zhou Weiming also knows his style. As long as he decides, no one can change it.
Besides, he has never failed in anything he has the confidence to do.
Zhou Weiming ran back to the office and made a phone call.
Chen Yao walked out of the factory, took off his mask, and looked at the time to have lunch.
Half an hour later, he was sitting silently in the office, with a cup of green tea on the table and a faint smoke coming from the tea cup.
After taking a sip of tea and putting down the cup, Chen Yao immediately opened the Universe USB flash drive on his phone and searched for data in it.
A big reason why the cost is high is the cost of research and development. A lot of money is invested in manpower and time, and the research and development process is long.
Many chip production equipment suppliers are not large in scale and are unwilling to spend huge sums of money on research and development.
Scientific research does not yield results just by spending money. If you invest so much, it may end up in vain, and suppliers will have even less incentive to upgrade.
Therefore, Chen Yao is now looking for scientific research data in the USB flash drive, not only for himself, but also to help suppliers make technological progress so that they can produce results as soon as possible.
Although Legend Track makes chips and controls the entire industry chain from design, production to packaging, it is impossible to make all equipment by itself.
Hundreds of equipment, such as wiring machines and testing machines for packaging chips, must be supplied by suppliers.
After searching for a long time, Chen Yao found all the technical information of all 18-inch production lines in the Leo partition of the universe USB disk.
The data is huge, in addition to text descriptions, there are also detailed and clear drawings.
ListYao nodded and was very satisfied. He spent all his points and obtained all the scientific research materials.
Then, part of the file was printed out through the printer, and the other part of the data was imported into the super fast learning platform.
In the afternoon, the sun shines high.
Cars drove into the factory one after another, and CEOs from 500 chip suppliers across the country came to participate in the legendary chip ecology conference.
In the domestic manufacturing industry, no matter what parts you want, you can find suppliers quickly, efficiently and at low cost.
China is the only country in the world with a complete industrial system, which is unmatched by any country in the world.
The international industrial system is divided into 39 major categories, 191 medium categories, and 525 small categories.
The complete industrial system is to have production and R&D capabilities in all 525 categories.
Chen Yao shook hands with them one by one: "Welcome all the big guys to the scene."
Boss Li Yunlong pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "You are the real boss, and we are just your little brothers."
Chen Yao¡¯s status in the chip industry is unparalleled, and his every move can shock the entire industry.
This time, he said that a chip ecology conference was held, and the supplier¡¯s boss did not dare to neglect and rushed over immediately.
The bosses walked into the conference hall and sat down one by one.
Chen Yao stood in front of them, cleared his throat and said:
¡°The purpose of letting everyone come here is very simple, it is to upgrade the next generation wafer.¡±
Li Yunlong was a little confused: "Wafer rods have been developed for 20 years and the technology is very mature. Is there anything else that needs to be upgraded?"
"Yes, we need to increase the size of the wafer rod!"
Chen Yao held a piece of white chalk and wrote a line of words on the blackboard behind him.
18 inches!
A few words shocked all the suppliers.
?? Upgrading from 12 inches to 18 inches is not just as simple as adding six inches, it is a cost investment of hundreds of billions.
Li Yunlong was a little confused: "Is it really necessary to make such a large wafer rod?"
"Yes." Chen Yao said with certainty: "The initial investment may be relatively large, but in the long run, the price of chips can be reduced."
Li Yunlong frowned: "American companies all over the world dare to do it, are we too risky?"
Chen Yao wrote another line on the blackboard.
Dare to be the first in the world, 18-inch production line!
His face was more serious than ever before: "Just because no company in the world dares to do it, we can do it boldly." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
