Tech empires start with knockoff systems

Chapter 162 Optical Sensors

In the current era, the number of photodiodes in the most advanced cameras has expanded to 1670 million pixels.

It is a small thing like a mobile phone, and the current number of photodiodes has reached a terrifying 200 million pixel level!
And the first to win the title of 200 million pixels is Sharp's mobile phone!

At present, the strongest photosensitive sensor companies in the market, or more precisely, which are the strongest lens companies, can actually be divided into two categories.

One is the American style, and the other is the island style.

Acura is mainly German dishes and Leica or Hasselblad.

On the other hand, the Daoguo series mainly include Soni, Jianeng, Nikang and other brands, such as Vodafone, which launched the first 200-megapixel mobile phone, and so on.

As for which domestic lens companies are more outstanding, can they stand out?
No!

Over the past few decades, in the face of the impact of major overseas brands of cameras, the domestic camera industry has naturally been unable to support and has been in a precarious state.

At present, the only ones that can barely survive without collapse are some old brands that have sold cameras for decades.

For example, the Phoenix company that launched Seagull Camera and Phoenix Camera!
It would be very bad for other companies, and now Phoenix Company is the only leader in the domestic optical field.

But the handle is obviously a bit weak. It was not until 2002 that they increased the pixel of the digital camera to 413 million pixel level, that is, the SX-410Z camera.

As for the aftermath, they seem to be in trouble, and they haven't launched a new digital camera product in almost two years.

Obviously facing the impact of foreign cameras, they are not long away from bankruptcy.

Judging from the disappearance of Phoenix cameras from people's sight in later generations, it is estimated that they have gone bankrupt and collapsed in the past few years.

"Let's buy this company next. After all, the old brand that has been sold for decades has also created countless Chinese people, Seagull and Phoenix. I once dreamed of owning a camera brand. I can't let him disappear like this."

Now Lin Xuan has no choice, and now with the definite reply from the island country Suo Ni to stop the shipment.

Lin Xuan has already predicted the result of other lens companies, and he will certainly not sell himself a 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor and lens for mobile phones.

For the mobile phone lens of the camera, in addition to purchasing a 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor for mobile phones from Suo Ni, Lin Xuan actually purchased the corresponding customized lenses.

As for Phoenix Company, they produced 400-megapixel photosensitive sensors two years ago, so they should have certain patents and strength.

In addition, as a decades-old factory, they can naturally produce corresponding mobile phone lenses, so Lin Xuan, who doesn't want to make cheap for outsiders, has no choice. Lin Xuan can only buy Phoenix Company!
Although the situation of Phoenix Company may not be optimistic now, Lin Xuan can only buy him.

After this loss, he knew that he must hold an optical lens company in his hands, otherwise he would not be able to gain a firm foothold just by purchasing!
As for Chen He's side, Lin Xuan is going to control an optical lens company regardless of whether there is good news or bad news from Chen He's side, and he doesn't want to suffer from the powerlessness of being blocked now!
"So the core of all problems still has to fall on the research of semiconductor manufacturing technology!"

Lin Xuan slowly expressed the conclusion he came to after thinking.

There is a word "diode" in the photodiode, which is naturally related to the chip!

It cannot be separated from the chip, and naturally it cannot be separated from the process technology!
So if people look at the graph of the evolution history of pixels, they will be surprised to find that the evolution of lens pixels has a special relationship with the evolution of chip process technology.

This connection is that every time the process technology advances, the pixels of the camera will also advance one step!
Why Phoenix can’t launch a camera with more than 1700 million pixels, in fact, it can’t be blamed on them, but Daxia’s chip manufacturing process limits their development!
Because the manufacturing process of the chip simply cannot reach the level of manufacturing 1700 million pixels!
Therefore, the current domestic process technology is generally in the state of 350 nanometers, 230 nanometers and 150 nanometers.

As for Zhongxin International's 90nm, it is actually under the 130nm process, using an innovative technology, that is, the immersion technology is forcibly upgraded to 90nm.

But it has been upgraded to 90 nanometers, but other things can't keep up, so the yield rate has always been a poor state...

As for Phoenix Company, they are already in a state of poverty and have no money. Naturally, they cannot use the most advanced 90nm in China, and 90nm cannot be mass-produced for a long time, so they can only produce a maximum of 400 million pixel digital cameras!
So all the reasons are that the manufacturing process is lagging behind!

This is why Lin Xuan said that the core of the problem still falls on the semiconductor process technology!
If Lin Xuan solves the problem of manufacturing technology, then Lin Xuan can develop powerful mobile phone chips and photosensitive sensors through advanced manufacturing technology!
However, in order to solve the problem of manufacturing process, Lin Xuan had to obtain a chip manufacturing company.

After this big loss, Lin Xuan now wanted to get it right in one step, holding a chip manufacturing company in his hands, and never afraid of the risk of any company's out-of-stock.

Thinking like this, Lin Xuan began to figure out how much money he should have in the future. Only by knowing how much money he has can he know what he should do next.

"114 billion!"

Lin Xuan slowly spoke about the disposable funds he could obtain by the end of January.

Among the 114 billion, the 50 S1 mobile phones in Han and Tang contributed 112 billion.

The remaining 2 million yuan in cash came from the funds accumulated by Hantang Glory generation mobile phone, Tangfeng chip platform and electronic foundry.

The reason why more than 1 million funds were accumulated at the end of January is because the special funds for the new factory have been paid last month.

So starting from this January, Hantang Technology will not have any pressure to pay.

So starting from January, Lin Xuan will be able to freely control the nearly 1 million funds after the superposition of these three major profits!
More than 2 million funds plus 50 Hantang S1 mobile phones, so Lin Xuan has 114 billion disposable funds at the end of this month.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt very sorry. It would have been better if the order had not been a round of 50, but a round of 100 million.

In this case, Lin Xuan may have more than 200 billion disposable funds, and it will be much easier for Lin Xuan to solve the chip problem.

But it's too late to say anything now, Lin Xuan needs to face the current problem, how to use this mere 112 billion to acquire a chip manufacturer.

Then use this negligible money to improve the chip's process technology, so that the chip's process technology can reach 65 nanometers or 45 nanometers.

Finally, the Hanfeng first-generation chip and a 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor were produced!
In addition, Lin Xuan will also acquire Phoenix Company out of the 114 billion, buy their entire company, and then carry out modern enterprise transformation.

Finally create an advanced lens, and then solve the lens parts in the two core parts that are blocked!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan started to work, and Hantang Technology Company was instantly activated, like a huge machine started to move.

At this time, under the command of Lin Xuan, the senior executives and core backbones of Hantang Technology Company were divided into several parts at high speed, and they were carrying out their goals at the same time.

Some high-level executives and backbones went to Phoenix Company for negotiations, and some senior executives and backbones went to Zhongxin International for share acquisition negotiations.

In addition, high-level backbone employees are also responsible for contacting other companies.

For example, lens companies or chip companies, see if they can make Hanfeng first-generation chips or provide 100 million like non-mobile phone lenses.

It can be said that since the day of New Year's Day, the entire Han and Tang Dynasty technology has fallen into a state of high-speed rotation...

……

2005 1 Month 3 Day.

When Hantang Technology was caught in a high-speed spinning top state, good news came from Deutsche Bausch.

The good news is that they agreed to sell 100-megapixel photosensitive sensors for mobile phones to Hantang Technology, and are also willing to accept Hantang Technology's customized photosensitive sensors.

After receiving the news, Hantang Technology jumped up with excitement in an instant, and countless employees cheered, with excited smiles on their faces.

The fact that Suoni Company suddenly ran out of stock of the 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor made them feel full of anger and worry!
Moreover, the employees who were in charge of contacting other lenses sent news that they were unwilling to sell 100-megapixel photosensitive sensors when they contacted other companies, which made many people feel extremely aggrieved.

This time Deutsche Cuisine is willing to sell a 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor, which means that the lens problem of the two core components that plagued the production of Hantang S1 mobile phones has been solved!
Upon receiving this surprising news, how could the employees not cheer, how could they jump up unhappy, with excited expressions on their faces?
But at this time, Lin Xuan's face was not too happy, because only one of the two major components that plagued the production of Hantang S1 mobile phones was solved.

It is still a big problem that the core and most important second-generation Hanfeng chip is out of stock, but no matter what, having a mobile phone lens is a good thing after all.

Although Lin Xuan is ready to acquire Phoenix Company, Deutsche Cuisine is willing to provide photosensitive sensors and is also willing to let Hantang Technology customize the style of photosensitive sensors.

That means that Lin Xuan can first use the photosensitive sensor from Deutsche Cuisine to respond to emergencies. Anyway, it is a customized photosensitive sensor. In the future, Lin Xuan can replace it with his own company's lens.

So Lin Xuan personally made an overseas call to contact the top president of the German cuisine company.

After nearly a day of meetings in German and repeated breaks, the two parties finally reached a consensus.

That is, Lin Xuan will customize a total of 100 million 100-megapixel photosensitive sensors and corresponding customized lenses from Deutsche Brasserie, and can manufacture 100 million Hantang S1 mobile phones.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that because the 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor and the lens of the mobile phone are custom-made, the price is naturally relatively high.

Therefore, the final comprehensive purchase cost of Deutsche Cuisine's 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor and corresponding customized lenses reached more than 80 yuan!

The purchase price of a 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor and custom lenses has reached more than 80 yuan, and the purchase cost is naturally very high.

Compared with the purchase cost of the 100-megapixel photosensitive sensor and the lens purchased by Lin Xuan from Suo Ni before, it is more than 20 yuan more expensive!
