No matter how you divide it, it is impossible for the wafer to be 100% utilized.

There are always leftovers.

There is also the issue of yield.

Even if a wafer produces 600 chips!

年产150万片12英寸的晶圆,一个晶圆600枚芯片……一年150万?600=9亿!

Hongxin Semiconductor now produces 9 million chips annually!

This... is still the first phase of the project!

The second phase of the project consists of two production plants, one power plant and related supporting buildings, with a construction area of ​​47 square meters.

The construction area of ​​the completed Phase I project is 65.4 square meters, including two production plants, one power plant, two office buildings and related supporting buildings.

The first and second phases of the project are similar, except that there are corresponding office areas, laboratories, etc. together.

Of course, the first phase of the factory has not been fully put into use at this moment.

Mainly not so many orders.

If the entire Hongxin Semiconductor is put into use, it can produce 18 billion chips per year!

Most of the domestic mobile phone business and vehicle chip demand are sufficient.

However, except for Xiawei Company in China, other mobile phone manufacturers use Qualcomm chips...unless they snatch Qualcomm's chip foundry!

Or Hiace Semiconductor licenses the chips to domestic mobile phone manufacturers.

Then find Hongxin Semiconductor as an OEM.

Otherwise, Hongxin's chip production capacity is surplus.

So the second phase of the factory has not started yet!

First, the current production capacity is sufficient, and even only one factory will be used in the first phase.

The second is that there is no money to invest in the second phase of the project, and tens of billions will be invested in the second phase of the project. How can there be so much money.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. He, welcome to visit Hongxin!"

Lu Ping received Yu Dong from Xia Wei Company at Hongxin Semiconductor in Bincheng, and Lu Ping's old boss: Sea Lion Semiconductor CEO He Xiaobo.

Just as Yu Dong promised before, Xiawei will not let the fourth person know about Hongxin's mastery of the 7nm lithography machine.

At present, only Yu Dong himself, He Xiaobo, and Mr. Ren know.

Mr. Ren has something to do recently, and he pays more attention to himself. He didn't come over in person, but Yu Dong and He Xiaobo came over.

"Hongxin's construction standard is very high, you missed it!"

Entering Hongxin Semiconductor, Yu Dong and He Xiaobo took a look. Hongxin Semiconductor was originally a big project in Bincheng, with an estimated investment of 1500 billion!

The scale is large and the construction specifications are high.

At that time, it was directly aimed at 7nm, and it was to catch up with Taipower.

It's a pity...it's all a picture, it's a scam.

But the entire project construction was indeed planned according to the highest specifications.

It is reasonable to say that Li Hao missed it....

Lu Ping doesn't think so: "Aside from us, whoever takes over Hongxin is picking up the loopholes?"

"If Xiawei Company or Hiace Semiconductor were to take over Hongxin, would you be willing?"

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo shook their heads at the same time: "I don't want to..."

Except that Haoding Laboratory has mastered the 7nm lithography machine, whoever takes over Hongxin will be taken advantage of.

Maybe Li Hao was willing to take over Hongxin. At that time, the research on lithography machine in his hand had already broken through to 7nm.

When there is a formal lack of supporting fabs.

It just so happened that Hongxin didn't finish well...it was just prepared for him.

"This is Hongxin's production line, which is currently producing 40nm automotive chips..."

After changing his clothes, he entered Hongxin's interior.

You can see the manufacturing process of the chip.

The entire chip manufacturing process is highly automated.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo have been to Taipower, and both have seen Taipower's fab.

"You guys... are stronger than Taipower!"

The entire chip production process, even at Taipower, requires a lot of manual intervention.

On Hongxin's side, there is no one involved in the lithography machine here, and they are all operated by robotic arms!

High degree of automation!

But think of Hao Ding Laboratory - "Miss Candle Dragon"!

Now everyone knows it, and it can be said... that it is the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world!

Especially when Li Hao released the video of "Candle Dragon" manipulating multiple octopus robotic arms to build a car.

There is no doubt about the power of Candle Dragon!

Lu Ping said: "This lithography machine is a 7nm lithography machine. For the sake of confidentiality, no one is involved in the whole process of the lithography machine, and everything is taken over by 'Zhulong'."

Hongxin did not take other chip orders, only the on-board chip needs of Huazhong Automobile and Huada Group's hydrogen energy vehicles.

This 7nm lithography machine can only be used to make 40nm automotive chips.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo, who were watching aside, were speechless for a while.

It is simply a cannon to beat mosquitoes, overkill! !

Envy and jealousy...that really arises from my heart!

It is really the death of drought and the death of waterlogging!

Some companies want a 7nm lithography machine but can't get it...Here, a 7nm lithography machine is used to produce 42nm on-board chips.

Chapter 131 Top-secret cooperation, OEM Kirin core (2 more)

The production and manufacture of chips needs to go through hundreds of thousands of processes.

It will take two months for this process to go down!

In other words, it takes two months to manufacture a chip, from the very beginning to the final packaging of a chip that can be used normally.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo will definitely not wait for two months when they come over.

A few days ago, they sent the EDA data of Kirin 980 to Hongxin and made preparations in advance.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo came over, and Hongxin Semiconductor had prepared the wafer.

'Candle Dragon' also enters the relevant circuit diagrams of the Kirin 980, and controls the lithography machine to start lithography directly.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo could see that the precision of the lithography machine in front of them had been adjusted to 7 nanometers.

I have visited the production process of Taipower.

Yu Dong and He Xiaobo looked at the production process of Hongxin. They are all DUV lithography machines, and the principle and method of use are actually similar.

The DUV lithography machine is between 90nm and 7nm. Limited by the light source, it refracts light. Only by using multiple exposure technology can 7nm chips be produced.

However, what is visible to the naked eye is that Hongxin has a higher degree of automation.

The speed and process of the entire production are very smooth, which is more than a little better than that of Taipower.

This is visible to the naked eye.

The reason is also very simple.

According to Yu Dong and He Xiaobo, this is because Hongxin's 7nm lithography machine has a more powerful automation program.

Because of the advanced artificial intelligence Zhulong.

In fact, there are many reasons why Hongxin's DUV7nm lithography machine has better production speed and quality than Taipower's DUV lithography machine.

First of all, the DUV7nm lithography machine currently used by Hongxin.

Many of its technologies and research and development goals are actually 5nm lithography machines.

Its exposure technology, calibration system, and lithography system... all come from 5nm lithography machines.

Regardless of precision and technical aspects, it is very precise and powerful.

Coupled with the control of Zhulong, this is unmatched by other automation programs.

Manpower is definitely not as good as Candle Dragon!

It is also a DUV lithography machine. The manufacturing cost of Hongxin's 7nm chip is lower than that of Taipower's first-generation 7nm process! !

Xia found Teclast for the company to add an order for Kirin 980 chips, and the price must be higher than that of Hongxin.

Finding Hongxin as an OEM can further reduce costs.

Even if the price of mobile phones using the Kirin 980 chip is reduced in the future, the profit margin will be greater.

Just wait quietly, the pre-process is completed, and the test can be carried out directly.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. He, do you need to take it back for relevant tests?"

Looking at the photoetched chip, Lu Ping asked Yu Dong and He Xiaobo.

This thing needs to be tested, which is actually very simple.

Hongxin can do it, the key depends on whether you trust Hongxin or not.

"Just do the test!"

Since we want to find Hongxin as an OEM, we must trust each other.

Besides, isn't it a waste of time to fly back to Guanshi from Bincheng after getting the wafer?

Li Hao also urged related cooperation to be kept secret.

Taking the wafer back for testing increases the risk of leaks and is unnecessary.

'Candle Dragon' directly tests the produced chips.

可以看到,夏为公司为麒麟980设计的4*A76+4*A55的八核心架构,所有的设计性能都完美展现出来。

The software used for testing is from Xiawei Company.

This made Yu Dong and He Xiaobo even more speechless.

"outstanding!"

"This is real!!"

"We have really mastered the 7nm process!!"

Look at the results of the test.

Both Yu Dong and He Xiaobo clenched their fists, their bodies were shaking...

The excitement and excitement from the heart is hard to suppress!

This is a 7nm process!

In addition to Taipower, we have also mastered related crafts ourselves!

Even if Teclast has launched the 7nm process of the second-generation EUV lithography machine this year.

Now to catch up, it is not completely hopeless.

At least not as desperate as before!

Think again about Li Hao and his Haoding laboratory, which quietly pulled out high-performance hydrogen fuel cells, high-energy-density batteries, artificial intelligence technology... and 7nm lithography machines.

Will the EUV lithography machine be difficult for Li Hao and his Haoding laboratory?

The place of Haoding Laboratory has become extremely mysterious in the hearts of Yu Dong and He Xiaobo at this moment.

It feels like the next moment, this laboratory will be able to pull out a 7nm lithography machine with EUV light source.
