1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan and Chen Jianguo looked at each other and smiled.

"The stupid bird will fly first." Su Yuanshan chuckled and said: "We are indeed working on it. As you guessed, the problem of defects after vapor deposition is difficult to solve. We are now looking for solutions all over the world."

"Then... it may take a long time." Liang Mengsong nodded: "But if it can be launched at the right production node, the advantages will be considerable. If it encounters a process bottleneck, the advantages will be even greater. "

"Yes. So Yuanxin's point of view has always been to be the first to take the lead. Don't wait until you encounter a bottleneck before breaking through it." Su Yuanshan looked at Liang Mengsong and smiled: "As a party that is lagging behind in technology, the bottleneck in the industry is that we overtake in corners. Opportunity."

Liang Mengsong smiled slightly: "But before the bottleneck comes, we don't know where the bottleneck is or where the direction is."

"Yes... For example, I know that the light source will encounter bottlenecks." Su Yuanshan also smiled slightly: "The current process technology is still guided by lithography machines, from g-line to i-line to today's ultraviolet optical fiber. As long as the lithography machine is installed, the rest is nothing more than the process.”

Liang Mengsong opened his mouth, wanting to refute Su Yuanshan, but finally closed his mouth.

Because Su Yuanshan is right in a sense... the current process technology is indeed exposed to the light of the photolithography machine. To be precise, it is the light from the light source - to put it simply, the finer the light, the The more precise the carving.

"However, Telecore has two light source research departments. Now technology exploration has reached the deep ultraviolet field. The two departments agree that there is a limit to the wavelength linewidth of deep ultraviolet light, and the farther it reaches the limit, the harder it will be to achieve. Therefore, in the future The improvement of manufacturing processes will revolve around craftsmanship."

To put it bluntly, the benefits of lithography machines will always be exhausted. By then, how to use the fixed lithography machines to create chips with the smallest process will be purely technical.

Hearing this, Liang Mengsong's face bloomed with a smile again.

Su Yuanshan's words speak to his heart - he also believes that technology and process are the core competitiveness of a wafer factory.

Because these are not patents in a sense, but technical know-how - you can't learn it or buy it unless you steal it.

An afternoon passed quickly. Su Yuanshan did not live up to his reputation as a "genius". Perhaps he was indeed a layman in terms of fab technology, but once it came to chip design and the corresponding process fields, he showed his ability. An impressive talent.

More importantly, Su Yuanshan showed an extreme enthusiasm for technology.

And Liang Mengsong did not hold back. After confirming that Su Yuanshan was really willing to invest money in the process technology of the wafer fab, he also expressed with great enthusiasm that he had absolute confidence to beat the current leading companies such as Intel and Texas Instruments in the process. An established wafer fab.

Now that the talk has come to this, the two parties no longer hide and tuck in. While Zhang Rujin was there, they decided that night that Liang Mengsong would be the technical director and be fully responsible for Deyuan Semiconductor's process projects.

At the same time, Liang Mengsong also made a list of "poaching people", saying that if he wanted to get into the state as quickly as possible and figure out the process, he would poach these people.

Although TSMC is still small, there are many people with potential in it - these are Liang Mengsong's original words.

…

After dinner, Su Yuanshan and Chen Jianguo returned to the guest room.

"I thought he had to get the position of vice president before he would come." Chen Jianguo was sitting on the sofa. He drank some wine tonight and his face was a little flushed. He was holding a tea cup and looking at Su Yuanshan with a confused look on his face.

"It was indeed intended to be given to the vice president at the beginning." Su Yuanshan has also become accustomed to drinking tea recently - mainly because drinking too much coffee is a diuretic. He drinks coffee violently and takes a big gulp without paying attention. After that, he has to go to the toilet... …

Blowing the tea foam, Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "But it's hard for Lao Zhang to explain. He had a hard time recruiting Italian partners. We can't just give up the technical vice president before work has officially started. Alright?"

"What did you say next?" Chen Jianguo stared at Su Yuanshan, knowing that he and Liang Mengsong had been chatting alone for half an hour.

Su Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and said softly: "For a person like Liang Mengsong, it is one thing if Yuanxin can give him a platform, but it is also necessary to give him checks and balances and let him do what he does. He has a skill on his head. Vice President, you have to make up for it in other aspects.”

"so?"

Su Yuanshan smiled slightly: "So I gave him the technical title of Yuanxin."

"..."

Chen Jianguo breathed out softly and laughed: "It seems that this person is not the kind of madman who only knows about technology. He knows what works best."

"Yeah, who doesn't want to pursue it?" Su Yuanshan also smiled.

The technical title given to Yuanxin means that Liang Mengsong's unit is directly affiliated with Yuanxin Technology Park - in fact, the same is true for Zhang Rujin.

Yuanxin's dual system has brought extra honor, belonging and... benefits to big guys with a technical background. This allows them to take on lower positions in affiliated companies without becoming frustrated by a lack of recognition.

To give the simplest example, Chen Jianguo is.

As the senior brother of Su Yuanshan who was the first to join Yuanxin, his current position is just a minor technical supervisor. But his professional title and level in the science and technology park are the same as those of several other seniors, and his salary is also the same.

It's just that the number of people who are responsible for things that are in charge varies.

The most important thing is that those powerful bosses who have obtained the professional titles of science and technology park are all from the founder team of Yuanxin.

As a member of the founder team of Yuanxin, Liang Mengsong said that he was completely able to accept the role of technical director responsible for comprehensive technical work at the subsidiary Deyuan Wafer Fab.

"But speaking of it, Lao Liang is indeed a boss." After laughing, Chen Jianguo said seriously: "I just found out today that TSMC also has a talent scouting department."

"Well, this department is actually our internship department, which rates and summarizes interns based on their abilities. But TSMC is much more professional here. Moreover, Liang Mengsong's technical field is comprehensive enough, so he also has a very good eye for people. allow."

Su Yuanshan thought of the list Liang Mengsong released and smiled softly: "If we dig in with our hoe... I'm afraid we will hollow out TSMC."

"It's a small business, so just dig it out." Chen Jianguo smiled nonchalantly.

"No..." Su Yuanshan squinted, looked at the void in front of him, and said softly: "History has changed, senior brother."

Chen Jianguo was slightly startled, and he subconsciously understood "what history has changed."
