??The reporters on the scene and the online audience have no idea?
Chen Yao pulled out a strand of hair from the top of his head and showed it to reporters.
The hair conditioner I usually use is good, and my hair is black, soft and shiny.
¡°My rough estimate of the diameter of this hair is about 0.05 mm.
The engraved core lithography machine can produce chips of 500 picometers. How small is this?
It is equivalent to 100,000th of the diameter of this hair! "
100,000?
One in 100,000?
The reporters present widened their eyes and stared at that hair.
The diameter of a hair is already small enough. I¡¯m talking about its diameter!
The chip is only one 100,000th of his!
It is certain that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. What is incredible is that the lithography machine can actually draw countless complex circuit diagrams on it.
Previous photolithography machines can achieve nanometer-level ones which are already very small. The chips that can be made with the utmost care can be even smaller, leading the chip industry into the picometer era!
The advantage is that the chip's performance will run faster and its power consumption will be lower.
What is black technology?
This is black technology!
It was a surprise beyond imagination!
A female reporter with a crew cut and short hair immediately asked:
"I am a reporter from IT Digital Daily. Please tell me, why is the second-generation lithography machine of Jiguchixin 500 picometers instead of 800 or 900?"
Chen Yao put his hair back into his pocket: "You should know Moore's Law of chips, right?
The new generation of chips has twice the number of transistors compared to the previous generation, and its size is doubled compared to the previous generation.
The entire semiconductor industry basically continues to follow this law.
"Our previous generation of lithography machines has already supported the production of 1 nanometer chips. The new generation of lithography machines must be picometers. 500 picometers is 50% of 1 nanometer."
A male reporter immediately asked: "I am a reporter from Tiantian Finance. What is the price of your machine?"
ASML¡¯s lithography machine in the Netherlands, only a 5-nanometer machine, will sell for 1 billion!
Chen Yao said with a smile: "Not only did the price not increase, it actually decreased. It is only 10 million US dollars!"
¡°With stronger performance and lower price, the lithography machine industry is about to undergo a major reshuffle!¡±
¡°The biggest impact is undoubtedly ASML. Their machines are so expensive and not as easy to use as others. Hahaha"
¡°I just watched Zhou Weiming¡¯s live broadcast. It¡¯s obvious that the machine of Immortal is much smaller than ASML¡¯s, and it should also be a lot lighter.¡±
The cost of the lithography machine is saved, the price of the chip will also be reduced, and you can also save some money on buying a mobile phone.
In short, the birth of a new generation of photolithography machines is a great thing for both chip manufacturers and consumers.
The scene switched to Zhou Weiming, who smiled and said: "Okay, the launch of the new generation of lithography machines is over.
Tomorrow is the day when the company goes public. Investors are welcome to invest and always believe that good things are about to happen! "
¡¡
The Netherlands, ASML headquarters.
Almost on the same day, ASML was also holding a new product launch conference to release a new generation of lithography machines.
Before the press conference, part of the information about the new generation EUV lithography machine has been revealed to the outside world, which supports the production of 1-nanometer chips.
Journalists have high expectations for this company that affects the global chip industry. A large number of reporters rushed to the press conference early in the morning.
A pure white Mercedes-Benz slowly drove in and parked outside the building. Stuart, wearing a crisp gray suit, got out of the car.
When he saw the reporters at the scene, he greeted them with a smile.
But¡¡
The reporter¡¯s first question immediately made his smile freeze!
A fat reporter quickly asked: "Mr. President, just now, Jiujixin Company released a new generation of machines that support picometer-level chips.
? And ASML only supports 1 nanometer, do you think this conference is still necessary? "
Explosive news!
Stuart is completely?? unexpectedly said: "Where did you hear the news? I find your words unbelievable."
The fat reporter smiled and said: "Not just me, all the media reporters present watched the live broadcast.
Mr. Stuart, you have to believe me, this is true. "
""
Stuart hopes this is a lie!
Judging from the expressions of the media reporters at the scene, this is absolutely true.
"Mr. Stuart, do you think ASML is still competitive? Will it sink from here?"
"Mr. Stuart, did you underestimate your opponent and were caught off guard by your opponent?"
"Mr. Stuart"
The scene is extremely embarrassing!
Stuart had no intention of responding to their questions. He immediately got into the white Mercedes and ordered the driver to leave quickly.
Facing the bombardment of interviews with reporters is simply a disaster!
The press conference has ended before it even started.
Returned to the company headquarters.
Stuart immediately held a meeting to discuss countermeasures with the company's senior management?
I received news a few days ago that Chen Yao would release a new generation of lithography machine, but I never would have imagined that it would be picometer-level!
I thought he was just making some upgrades and improvements on the previous generation machine, but the result is that he made an era leap!
Leading the world, allowing lithography machines to enter the picometer era.
However, ASML¡¯s picometer-level machine is still in the early stages of preparation and theoretical research.
McCas also felt nervous. Some time ago, he and Stuart were discussing a new generation of lithography machines, but in the blink of an eye, the legendary trajectory has been made.
"Mr. Stuart, when is it expected that your picometer-level machine will be ready?"
This question,
It hit the vital point!
Stuart took a deep breath and said, "It will take at least 3 years."
3 years?
Being three years behind in the technology industry is equivalent to being behind an era!
McCas was very dissatisfied: "Can't it be faster?"
Although this company is headquartered in the Netherlands, it is actually controlled by the United States. Because he was angry, he spoke with the arrogant anger of a machine.
Stuart was also angry, and his face darkened: "If you think it can be accelerated, you can be the president!
Let me tell you a cruel reality. The real situation will take longer than expected.
3 years is the most optimistic estimate. In fact, it will take from R&D, design, production, testing, installation and debugging, to customer verification.
It may not be possible to make it even in 5 years! "
McCas¡¯s facial muscles suddenly twitched!
I don¡¯t want to admit it, but the reality is that I lost!
The chip coalition led by the United States suffered a disastrous defeat!
Was defeated by Chen Yao¡¯s company! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
