If you cheat, money will follow

But in the eyes of outsiders.

Huahong Semiconductor is a typical company that does not want to make progress and is serious about science.

The 90nm process was mass-produced last year.

At the same time, SMIC has experienced several ups and downs in the 28nm process;

TSMC and Samsung are "fighting" each other in the 10nm process.

As everyone knows, Liang Qingsong has formed a team with the supply of SMEE lithography machines and quietly entered the advanced process.

Because there is financial support from the parent company Leda Investment, there is no pressure to make profits.

They are focused, dedicated, and committed to advanced manufacturing processes.

8年时间，从微米级工艺，连续攻克90纳米、65纳米、45纳米、32纳米、28纳米、22纳米等关键节点，进入14纳米工艺范畴。

It keeps pace with industrial giants such as UMC and Intel, and is only one step away from TSMC and Samsung.

"Boss, we plan to increase the yield rate of the 1nm process to more than 14% within one year, and then develop the 90nm process."

"What is the yield rate of TSMC and Samsung's 10nm process?" Chang Le asked.

"Their technology is also immature, and the yield rate is probably between 50% and 70%."

"Without EUV lithography machines, the gap between us and them is not as big as the outside world thinks."

Liang Qingsong was poached by Leda Investment, which had a great impact on TSMC.

The research and development breakthrough time of several process nodes has lagged behind.

Samsung, without Liang Qingsong, is still stumbling on the 22nm process.

By poaching many core and key figures from TSMC, we were able to reach 10 nanometers.

While the two companies are fighting over the 10-nanometer process, they are also engaged in legal battles.

The law firms hired by both parties sent legal letters flying around like snowflakes flying all over the sky.

noon.

After eating, Chang Le wanted to take a look inside Huahong Semiconductor.

Zeng Xi called Chang Le and called him away in advance.

He urgently took Leda No. 1 and flew to Jiangzhou in the afternoon.

Then, take Lecheng at the airport and rush to Changning.

In the car, Zeng Xi said:

"Boss, I received a call from Yang Yongning at noon. He told me that Changning Storage's 3D NAND FLASH research and development project was successful."

"We won't know the specific situation until we get to the scene."

"On the phone, I could tell that there were a lot of people there and they were very excited."

Chang Le couldn't help but clapped his hands: "What an exciting news."

More than three years ago, Chang Xueqin forcibly poached the entire Jiangcheng Xingxin team.

It also joined hands with Leda Investment and Renaissance Capital to form Changning Storage.

After that, the first phase of the National Team Semiconductor Fund entered the market, which strengthened the company's financial strength and promoted further acceleration of research and development.

Later, more capital entered the game, increasing its financial strength.

Thought it would take some time.

Unexpectedly, it will bear fruit now.

This is Chang Xueqin’s gift to the sustainable development of Changning City.

10 pm.

Le Cheng drove into Changning Storage Company, Anning District, Changning City.

The company's R&D building is brightly lit, and there are many people standing on the front porch.

After Le Cheng stopped at the front platform and Chang Le and Zeng Xi got off the car, the group of people gathered around and shook hands with Chang Le and Zeng Xi warmly.

Judging from the strength of the handshakes, they were very emotional and their words were very encouraging.

Among this group of people were Yang Yongning, CEO of Changning Storage, and Gao Qiming, COO;

There are Changning City W Secretary Zhou Yuming and Mayor Su Xiaolin;

There are also Anning District Secretary Liu Jianjun, district mayor, and deputy district mayor Yang Yong.

"Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's so hard for you to come all the way here."

"Mr. Chang, welcome to Changning to guide our work. You haven't been here for a while." Zhou Yuming said with a smile.

"Haha, it's true that I haven't been here for a while. However, after today, I will definitely come less often." Chang Le said.

"Then you must come more! This project was successfully developed, and I felt a lot better." Zhou Yuming said with a laugh.

"Yes, this project is really exciting." Su Xiaolin smiled.

The happiest person is undoubtedly Liu Jianjun.

When it came time to allocate funds to undertake the project at the original study discussion meeting, other counties and cities were timid.

Only Liu Jianjun asked for 40 billion.

In addition, it is also responsible for land supply, supporting facilities, energy supply, financial support and other guarantee work.

It was almost a struggle.

Many people joked behind his back that he was a foolish young man who was only interested in excellence rather than practicality.

Is technology research and development so easy to develop?

just now……

Many people must be speechless.

He asked Yang Yong beside him: "Have you reported to Director Chang?"

Yang Yong nodded and said softly: "I've reported it. Director Chang has important matters and cannot come. It's the same as he said Mr. Chang would come."

Liu Jianjun nodded.

Then, Chang Le and Yang Yongning walked together and asked, "Mr. Yang, would you like to introduce me?"

"Okay, boss, let's go to the conference room and watch the PPT, and the introduction will be more intuitive!" Yang Yongning suggested.

"no problem."

meeting room.

Yang Yongning introduced to everyone.

"Traditional 3D NAND chips usually process memory units and logic units together on one wafer..."

"As the layers continue to be stacked, the area of ​​the peripheral logic circuits becomes larger and larger. When reaching higher layers, the storage density will be significantly reduced."

"Our method is based on the Xtacking architecture, where the memory cells and logic circuits are processed separately on two wafers..."

"Each of them chose the most advanced manufacturing process and connected it with millions of metal channels."

“In this way, the research and development cycle can be greatly shortened, at least by more than three months;”

"It can also shorten the production cycle by 20%, and the storage and reading speed can also be greatly improved."

"Specifically in terms of storage density, our 64-layer 3D NAND Flash flash memory chip has higher density and faster speed than 64-layer chips from other manufacturers."

"More importantly, we have overcome the confusing period of exploration and entered the overtaking lane of ever-increasing speed."

Yang Yongning introduced this, and all the participants were delighted.

The Xtacking architecture is Yang Yongning’s own idea, and through practice, it was finally successfully developed.

High energy density and fast transmission speed are certainly important technical features.

But more importantly, it is all independent intellectual property rights.

Having independent intellectual property rights means having a brand new track.

Changning Storage can run all the way on this track without tabooing any patent traps and patent obstacles.

If other manufacturers want to take this track, they must leave tolls.

Otherwise, we can only return to the traditional 3Dnand track, set up obstacles and compete with each other.

Yang Yongning continued to introduce:

"Currently, we can mass-produce 64-layer 256GB TLC-3D NAND flash memory based on the Xtacking architecture."

"The 96-layer flash memory chips from other manufacturers have not yet been launched."

"According to relevant information, Samsung's fifth-generation chip, 96-layer V-NAND, will not be launched until the third quarter."

"Micron's 96-layer is still under development and is currently facing many difficulties. We plan to bring Intel in to supply research and development."

“SK Hynix’s 96-layer chip aims to be launched by the end of 2018.”

"In this sense, our Changning Storage has at least reduced the time generation gap by half."

When Yang Yongning said this, Chang Le couldn't help but applaud, and others couldn't help but applaud as well.

There was thunderous applause and thunderous cheers.

Yang Yongning finished the introduction.

Chang Le said: "So, our storage industry has already set sail?"

"Yes, boss, we have definitely set sail, and we have sailed a long distance." Yang Yongning said with certainty:

"Our next step is to skip the 96 layers and directly develop and mass-produce 128 layers to achieve the role transformation from a chaser to a leader."

"After that, we continued to widen the gap and consolidate our advantages."
