Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

"What should we do now?" Li Weiguang asked bewilderedly.

Zhao Jun was silent for a while: "Stabilize the interior first, the situation is not too bad."

Regarding Sisishe's holding of SMIC, although there are many discussions within SMIC, everyone is thinking about the best. After all, it is better to be controlled by Sisishe than to be controlled by Datang Telecom.

Moreover, Shenguang Instrument, a subsidiary of Sisishe, is a company with top-level lithography machine technology. SMIC now finds it easier to obtain lithography opportunities in the future.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. After being controlled by Siweishe, it is estimated that it will be difficult to purchase advanced foreign equipment in the future.

the other side.

Cai Zhixing rushed to Xiangjiang and completed the share transfer with HSBC.

And Gao Zhiyuan came to the SMIC headquarters in Jiangcheng, and Sisi Society immediately held a general meeting of shareholders in Jiangcheng in the name of the largest shareholder of SMIC.

Inside the conference room.

Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang, Jiang Shangzhou and others from the management team were everywhere.

Among the major shareholders, Datang Telecom, China Investment Fund, Shanghai Industrial, and TSMC all sent representatives to the scene.

Gao Zhiyuan projected the 50.36% stock certificate held by Shenguang Instrument Company on the screen behind him, and then said with a smile:

"Shenguang Instruments has officially become the largest shareholder of SMIC, and I would like to ask all shareholders and management personnel to give us your advice."

Everyone had different expressions. The representatives of China Investment Fund were all smiles, the representatives of Shanghai Industrial and TSMC were calm, and the representatives of Datang Telecom were livid.

As for the management, I don't know what to say about it.

Gao Zhiyuan continued: "As the major shareholder, I am announcing several decisions on behalf of SMIC."

Everyone else pricked up their ears.

"First, the management of the former SMIC did not adjust in principle, and Shenguang Instrument only dispatched financial supervisors."

Regarding this problem, Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang, Jiang Shangzhou and others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Shenguang Instrument did not engage in any courtiers.

"Second, Vice President Jiang."

"Yes." Jiang Shangzhou responded quickly.

"You are in charge of SMIC's delisting from the New York Stock Exchange, is there any problem?"

"no problem."

For this matter, neither the management nor other shareholders can do anything. Shenguang Instrument is the largest shareholder, and SMIC has triggered the delisting mechanism, so the delisting is a foregone conclusion.

"Third, SMIC's original plan to develop a 12-nanometer chip process remains unchanged."

"Fourth, gradually adjust the business scope of SMIC. While maintaining the overseas market, we must also actively explore the domestic market."

After a meeting, SMIC has become the talk of Shenguang Instruments.

As soon as the representative meeting of Datang Telecom was over, he walked away with an ugly face. After all, the peaches he reserved were suddenly picked by others, and everyone would be furious.

Inside the factory of SMIC.

Zhao Jun, Li Weiguang and others led Gao Zhiyuan and his group to visit the chip production line, especially the one that is experimenting with the 12nm process.

Many engineers or employees secretly looked at Gao Zhiyuan and his party.

Zhao Jun pointed to the rows of machines in the clean room and said, "Mr. Gao, this is the 12nm production line we are developing."

"What are the main challenges in the R&D process?"

Li Weiguang on the side thought for a while and replied: "The main problem is the adjustment of various equipment in the production line."

Immediately, Li Weiguang listed a lot of problems, such as foreign equipment, parameters and software cannot be modified, once it needs to be modified, engineers from foreign manufacturers must be invited.

As for domestic equipment, there are constant small problems, especially the software system, which is a mess, with failures and loopholes every three days.

Gao Zhiyuan recorded these problems one by one.

"Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li, you continue to carry out the process research and development of 12nm chips, equipment and software problems, Shenguang Instrument will find a solution"

Although Zhao Jun and others were not too impressed with Gao Zhiyuan's statement, Shenguang Instruments did not interfere with their management, which was already a great deal of face.

Zhao Jun replied with a dry smile, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your concern."

"I won't bother you here, call or email me if you need anything."

"no problem."

After Gao Zhiyuan inspected SMIC, he immediately returned to Shanmei headquarters.

And Cai Zhixing had just returned from Xiangjiang.

The two came to the small villa together and reported the relevant situation to Huang Mingzhe, especially the problems encountered by SMIC in the process of chip technology research and development. Gao Zhiyuan came together one by one.

Huang Mingzhe certainly knows some domestic situations. In terms of industrial software, professional software, and industrial operating systems, the country can be said to be blank.

Many systems are purchased directly, or use out-of-market products.

It seemed that it was necessary to carry out an integration of related industries. Huang Mingzhe expressed some of his thoughts and discussed with Gao Zhiyuan and Cai Zhixing for more than an hour.

Immediately, the two left the small villa in a hurry to prepare for related actions.

Chapter 78 Industrial Ecology

At present, the localization rate of domestic semiconductor equipment is only 16% on average, which can be subdivided into nine fields.

They are: Oxidation/Diffusion Furnace (High Temperature Furnace), Photolithography Equipment, Coating and Development Equipment, Etching Equipment, Ion Implantation Equipment, Thin Film Deposition Equipment, Chemical Mechanical Polishing Equipment, Testing Equipment, Cleaning Equipment.

The oxidation/diffusion furnace (high temperature furnace) market is mainly occupied by foreign brands, such as American Applied Materials, Dongying Hitachi, Tokyo Electron and other companies.At present, only North Huachuang is developing in this field in China.

In terms of lithography equipment, the global lithography machine market was mainly dominated by ASML in the Netherlands, Nikon and Canon in the Netherlands.In China, there are Shenguang Instruments, which have just emerged, and microelectronics before them.

In terms of coating and developing equipment, the global leaders in coating and developing equipment are Tokyo Electronics of Japan, Dience and Suss Micro of Germany.The domestically competitive company is Shenyang Xinyuanwei.

In terms of etching equipment, the top three in the global etching equipment industry are Ram Research, Tokyo Electronics, and Applied Materials.Among the domestic enterprises, there are China Microelectronics Corporation and North Huachuang.

For ion implantation equipment, the world's leading ion implanters are American Applied Materials and Axcelis, which together account for nearly 90% of the global market share.Among domestic enterprises, only Kaishitong and Zhongkexin have the R&D and production capacity of integrated circuit ion implanters.

Thin film deposition equipment is currently highly monopolized in the global market, and Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron and Ram Research occupy most of the market.Domestic enterprises include North Huachuang and Shenyang Tuojing.

In terms of chemical mechanical polishing, the CMP machine market is highly monopolized by Applied Materials and Japan's Ebara, with a market share of nearly 90%.In the domestic market, Huahai Qingke and Dianke Equipment 45 are the main research and development forces.

In terms of testing equipment, the current major global suppliers of integrated circuit quality measurement equipment are KLATencor, Applied Materials and Dongying Hitachi.The main representatives of domestic enterprises are Shanghai Ruili Science and Shanghai Jingce.
