I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

What Boss Lin considers is that research and development must take the lead.

Once R\u0026D stops, the company will focus on profitable chip applications.

In fact, Boss Lin’s consideration is not unreasonable. If the 28nm process has not been digested, and the 14nm process is followed, it will really cause indigestion.

The first is the technical basis.

Domestic technology is very backward, but he is not without technology.

Shencheng Microelectronics can mass-produce 90nm process lithography machines, covering 60% of the global low-end market, and the mid-to-high-end market coverage is 0%.

They have Zheng Ce's support, no shortage of funds and talents, and they have always wanted to rise.

28nm is not a global leader, but it is indeed the highlight of the application field, so it has always been the target of their strategy, but there are still many technical problems that cannot be overcome.

The technology provided by Kleist solves all the troubles.

With everyone's concerted efforts, a 28nm lithography machine was quickly manufactured without spending a billion dollars.

But the 14nm process is different.

Theoretically speaking, a 28nm lithography machine can also lithography 14nm chips on the basis of double exposure, but the defective rate will greatly increase, which is not worth the candle.

The 14nm lithography machine is still a mid-to-high-end technology for now.

In the case of double exposure, it can lithographically engrave chips with a 7nm process, and even quadruple exposure...

28nm belongs to the low-end technology, and 14nm has already touched the edge of high-end.

Some people may say that ASML in the Netherlands is already developing a 5nm lithography machine and has made important progress, but its development and wide application are not the same thing.

Currently the most widely used, or 28nm and 14nm.

To develop a 14nm lithography machine, higher-end technology, more talents, and more funds are needed.

In the case of relatively weak foundations in technology and talents, without tens of billions of funds, it is impossible to develop a 14nm process lithography machine.

For the 28nm lithography machine, the conclusion given by the alliance scientists is that it will be shipped in August, and the result is a few days ahead of schedule.

Change to a 14nm lithography machine...

Sorry, scientists don't know, they have to cross the river by feeling the stones.

This is what Lin Dong wants, and he also knows that as long as this thing is thrown out, Miaoxin's research and development will not be able to stop.

Just obediently help Lao Tzu lose money and it's over.

There are still 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, 2nm waiting for you.

As for whether ASML will cry or want to sue him to death, Lin Dong doesn't mind being a shaker, not afraid of everyone's jokes.

Actually, Lin Dong has another misunderstanding here.

He mistakenly believed that if the 14nm technology is released, the previous 28nm technology will be useless.

All the previous research and development have been done in vain, so it has been lost money in disguise.

This is the cognition of laymen.

In fact, even if 14nm technology is in front of us, 28nm will not be eliminated.

Many companies simply do not use higher-end lithography machines.

And companies that can use high-end lithography machines, even if they buy higher-end lithography machines, low-end ones will not be eliminated, and even in the 90nm lithography field, their share will not be greatly affected.

It is the chip foundries outside that are really cheated.

They have been pinching the neck of China's chip industry. No matter what company you are, your chips will come out of my factory.

I not only want your tickets, but also your time.

They all lined up obediently.

The more arrogant ASML claims that you can't make the blueprints even if you give them, but I haven't seen them give the blueprints.

The emergence of 28nm lithography machines is a crisis and a blow to them.

But this is not fatal. The production of high-end chips is still in their hands. The money lost on mid-range chips can be made up for by adding some money to high-end chips.

But once the 14nm lithography machine appears, it will be completely different.

It can be said that the entire chip industry will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The 28nm lithography machine is announced to be successfully developed, and their stock price may drop by 15%.

They will use various shameless tactics to prevent China's 14nm chips from appearing.

Where... where did it come from? Pei Qianlong held this thing and felt that he was holding a big Ivan in his hand, and he would blow himself up if he was not careful.

I still wanted to dominate the world, and it turned out that the world was in my hands.

Yes, there is no need to dominate the rivers and lakes.

We are abroad and have a secret research institute. Lin Dong yawned and ate up Pei Qianlong's snacks, but he felt even hungrier.

The rabbit he saw in the company before reminded him.

In fact, he can set up a rabbit factory, and raise some rabbits in the park, and then he can catch them and roast them at any time.

Having said that, the rabbit named Tiao Tiao is quite fat ︿(￣︶￣)︿.

This is too hypocritical. Pei Qianlong didn't quite believe it.

But it doesn't matter.

In such things as lying, the lie itself is not important, what matters is whether others are willing to believe you.

For example, I'm just friends with her, Give me another chance, if you don't want to believe it, it doesn't matter how beautiful the words are.

For example, I slept with all the boys in the class, and I finally found out that you are the best. In this case, if you are willing to believe it, there is no need to doubt its authenticity.

Our Pei Qianlong is the second type.

Not to mention that there is a research institute abroad, even if Lin Dong said that he had placed dozens of undercover agents in ASML, he would still believe it.

In fact, this is the most reasonable explanation that everyone thinks.

Several other companies participating in the chip alliance basically stand at this conclusion.

Even Bay Semiconductor and ASML think so. Last month, on May 23, Bay Semiconductor carried out a round of personnel adjustments—in fact, layoffs.

Seventeen technical experts from the Mainland were all fired.

Two also face lawsuits over trade secrets.

In recent years, ASML has been increasing its investment and support for the Chinese market. In this year's Q2 financial report, the mainland region is becoming more and more important in ASML's revenue. In the Q1 quarter, lithography machine sales in the mainland region accounted for 20%. Q2 19% in the quarter.

Of course, what they sell are relatively low-end goods, mainly concentrated in the field of memory chips.

In fact, they don't have many Chinese employees, mainly from the Wanwan side, and there are only three mainland employees.

They probably didn't want to lose the Chinese market, so their actions were very secretive. It took more than two weeks to fire the three employees from the mainland.

Their tricky operation is that in addition to firing these three employees from mainland China, they also fired several engineers from Wanwan. One of them even served ASML for more than nine years, and it was ASML in 2007. Acquired the senior technical experts who joined Mi Guorui when he was in the early days of science and technology.

We write this, more or less a bit self-indulgent, but the novel, as long as everyone is happy, we can only make it look logical as much as possible
