Homecoming of Rebirth

Paulson poured cold water on it, "Effect? ​​I don't see any effect. EUV LLC doesn't take it seriously!"

Qi Lei, "Didn't take it seriously? How do you say it?"

Paulson, "As soon as the news became hot, CNN interviewed Intel and scholars from the three major laboratories."

"On the surface, I want to learn about new technologies through news channels. After all, lithography technology has been stuck at 193 nanometers for several years. Moreover, the next technological breakthrough is nothing more than two, one is extreme violet lithography technology, and the other is x Photolithography."

"Each one is epoch-making."

"However, I read the interview, and it is not so much an inquiry as it is a large-scale performance of EUV LLC!"

"Oh?" Qi Lei seemed more interested.

Paulson, "There are interview videos on the Internet, watch it yourself!"

Qi Lei, "Let me see."

After speaking, Qi Lei hung up the phone.A search on Penguin Video came up.

I clicked on the video, and after waiting for a long time due to the limited network speed in China, it was finally broadcast.

how to say?

The English video was not difficult for Qi Lei and Li Hanhan, and sister Hanhan was furious after watching it.

"It's so annoying! What are you pretending to do!?"

If the people from EUV LLC were in front of Sister Hanhan, she would want to go up to scratch them and vent her anger on Qi Lei.

To put it simply, the video has two main contents, "One is to pretend to be B; the other is to pretend to be B against Sanshi Company."

First of all, experts from EUV LLC admitted that they are publicizing a new type of lithography technology, which is of epoch-making significance.

Although it is not admitted that there has been a key breakthrough in the extreme violet lithography technology, the meaning inside and outside the words is to lead to the extreme violet light, which makes people daydream.

This part is nothing, only Qi Lei knows they are setting off smoke bombs, fart purple light?dream you!

It was another part that drove Li Hanhan crazy.

The news came from Paulson, and Paulson didn't hide it.Paulson really didn't bother to hide such a small matter.

I was the one who exposed it to you, what the hell! ?What can you do with me?

But the problem is that after Paulson was exposed, people all over the world knew that Qi Lei was quarantined.

Therefore, people have to think that Qi Lei instructed Paulson to do this, after all, the two are bound together.

That naturally reminds me of Sanshi, the demand for high-end chips for smartphones, and the war between Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

Well, when facing CNN's microphone, experts tout their own technology as well as publicize the progress of their own smartphones, and they don't mind stepping on their opponents.

It is vowed in it that the new technology will greatly improve the chip manufacturing process and enter the era of 130 nanometers, or even 90 nanometers!

At that time, EUV LLC will completely dominate the field of chip manufacturing and become the well-deserved king.

Companies such as Microsoft and Intel, which are closely related to EUV LLC, are bound to enjoy the first wave of benefits.

As for Sanshi, they will be temporarily excluded from the supply list.

This is not over yet, there is a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked expert sneering at the camera, "Mr. Paulson is experiencing a failed investment, and his biggest mistake is trusting a Chinese!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Li Hanhan barked his teeth and claws, "It's too disgusting! Isn't it just a little more technical? Isn't it amazing!?"

Staring at Qi Lei, "What should I do? How can I bear this? They have already hit the door of the house!"

Qi Lei thought deeply, and nodded, "I really can't bear it, I have to mess with them!"

Li Hanhan, "Go!"

Qi Lei opened his personal account in the Penguin community, and wrote an eloquent article...

"Technology analysis post!"

"A Technology Blind's Conjecture on the New Technology of the EUV LLC Alliance"

Well, the focus is on "technical blindness".

……

……

At the same time, in every corner of the world, many people are paying attention to this news event.

Needless to say, Paulson picked it up by himself, that is, let EUV LLC install a 13, which made Paulson very unhappy.I've always been the one who mocks others, why is it the other way around this time?

The second is the EUV LLC alliance itself, which is secretly delighted.

Now the whole world thinks that their new technology is extreme ultraviolet lithography. This smoke bomb is big enough, and no one knows that they have got a genius idea, which can easily achieve a breakthrough.

This not only saves costs, but also takes the opportunity to defeat Japan's Sony and Canon in one fell swoop, and completely regain its international dominance in the field of lithography machines.

More importantly, they also took the opportunity to suppress the damned Wall Street and Qi Lei.

You know, once the expert interview was broadcast, the repercussions were huge, and even caused turmoil in Desheng Capital and Sanshi Penguin stocks.

Penguin stock fell by as much as 10% at one point, and although it recovered afterwards, it really suffered heavy losses.

Make Penguin shares surpass Microsoft in one fell swoop, becoming the IT stock with the largest decline this year.

That's really... double happiness! !

Finally, the most depressing ones should be the two Japanese lithography giants, Nikon and Canon.

In recent years, EUV LLC has put a lot of pressure on them, and they have tried their best to maintain their leading position in the lithography machine market.

Now suddenly there is such a news that EUV LLC is tackling new technologies?Moreover, Paulson said that there will be a breakthrough soon?This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

You know, Nikon and Canon are also very sober. Although they are still number one and number two, they are already in a state of waiting to die. It will be a matter of time before they are replaced.

Because they clearly know that extreme ultraviolet light technology is the direction of the future, but they do not have the ability to develop their own extreme ultraviolet light technology.

As mentioned earlier, this technology is too cutting-edge, and it needs to gather all the power of the Western world, plus the three major laboratories in the United States and the military to complete it.

Even so, it took 18 years from project approval to industrial mass production.

It is conceivable that others really can't play at this time.

Therefore, we can only wait to die!

Originally, Nikon and Canon thought that this process of waiting for death would be very long, and they might still be able to dominate the field of lithography machines within ten years.

But now it's all right, will there be a breakthrough in the short term?

In other words, their brilliance will soon be gone, can you not worry?

But it's useless to worry, it's still the same sentence, I can only wait for death!

However, at this moment, a personal blog by a capitalist who was blind to technology and not even considered an industry insider quietly entered the field of lithography machines, detonating the battlefield.

"A Technology Blind's Conjecture on the New Technology of the EUV LLC Alliance"

Dear friends, long time no see.

As the report said, I am experiencing an epidemic outbreak in China, and unfortunately, I have become a subject that needs to be isolated and observed.

I'm here to tell everyone that I'm safe, I'm fine and strong.

Recently, although I can't leave my residence, I have been paying attention to the changes in the world.

In particular, I noticed the exclusive interview of the EUV LLC Alliance, and heard Dr. James' comments on Sanshi and the field of lithography machines in the future.

Go straight:

Dr. James, I think, is a little... a little bragging.

The following are some of my views and conjectures on the field of lithography machines. If I am wrong, I hope Dr. James can correct me.

My point of view is: EUV LLC is simply impossible to achieve a breakthrough in extreme violet lithography technology in a short period of time!

Popular science, extreme violet light is a light source wavelength between ultraviolet and infrared.This is the limit of the ultraviolet wavelength, and the shortest wavelength is the band of infrared light.

At present, there is no commercial patent for any extreme violet light source, so why talk about a lithography machine using extreme violet light?

Moreover, the light source is only an insignificant part of the lithography machine, and a lithography machine requires tens of thousands of parts.

According to the target parameters released by EUV LLC, each part must meet the design parameter requirements, which is not achievable by the current technological level.

Note that it is not that there is no commercial support, but that even the demonstration in the laboratory has not been completed.

Talking about extreme purple light at this time is like setting off smoke bombs!

If you want me to say, instead of using extreme purple light to deceive the public, it is better for me to help you think of a technical direction.

You pour water into the lithography machine!

Light will be refracted in water, thereby shortening the wavelength, and it will soon be able to break through the 193 nanometer barrier!

How simple is it?

It is more reliable and operable than Extreme Purple Light!

"I puff!!"

This is Paulson, "He he he he he he, he just let this big secret out?"

"I puff puff!!"

This is EUV LLC, "Something went wrong!! How did he get out?"

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!!"

This is Nikon and Canon, brothers and sisters in a dilemma.

Inject water?

Bageya Road! !

Why didn't we think of it! ?

It's simple!

One post, the lithography machine industry is in chaos!

……

Chapter 573

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

To be honest, Nikon and Canon are really stupid.

Sometimes, seemingly complex technological breakthroughs actually only require a simple principle that cannot be simpler.

Fill the lithography machine with water?Is it possible?It is theoretically possible.

Although in the eyes of Nikon and Canon engineers, water injection will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of making lithography machines.How to note?How to ensure the working condition of the components in the water environment?This is another big problem, because there are alkali leeks.

However, one thing is for sure, it is definitely much simpler than studying extreme violet technology.

Moreover, it can indeed further improve the current level of lithography machines and greatly improve the chip manufacturing process.

At this moment, both families felt a little enlightened.

In fact, not only the two lithography machine companies in Japan, but also lithography machine companies all over the world were inspired by this article, which can be called science and technology blindness.

It can only be said that Qi Lei was really right!

However, the reality is not an utopia. It is one thing to be enlightened, but it is another thing to make these companies invest a lot of money in research and development and join the competition just because of Qi Lei's blog.

The reality is far from that simple.

Not to mention, business and technological progress are two completely different things.

Even if Canon and Nikon have been cornered and have no way out; even if they think of a lot when they see the word "water injection", it is not so easy to make up their minds.

Say a simple reason, that is:

After all, Qi Lei is not an insider, and even if he is an insider, he is not a member of the EUV LLC alliance.His guess may be right, but it does not mean that EUV LLC is working on the solution of injecting water into the lithography machine.

What if... they are really trying to tackle the extreme purple light?What if...their extreme purple light really has a technological breakthrough?

If this is the case, let alone injecting water, it is useless to inject gold water.
