Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

While Director Qin was confused, Wang Yi took out a pen and filled in the blank space in the agreement:

"We will start mass production of 2013 nanometers by the end of December 12, and deliver a wafer fab with a monthly output of 40 wafers."

"We will start mass production of 2013 nanometers by the end of June 6, and deliver a wafer fab with a monthly output of 40 wafers."

“We will start mass production of 2012 nanometers by the end of December 12, and we will give you a wafer factory with a monthly output of 40 wafers!”

After Wang Yi filled it out, he smiled and said, "Director Qin, is there any problem with the content of the agreement?"

"!!!" Director Qin's mouth twitched, but he could only nod: "No problem."

"Then please ask Director Qin to sign it personally." Wang Yi handed over the pen with a smile.

A 120-inch wafer factory with a monthly output of 12 pieces and an annual output of million pieces!

Excited to think about it!

Although we have to purchase the lithography machines and other equipment ourselves, the land and wafer factory hardware facilities provided by the capital alone are worth tens of billions!

Director Qin took the pen and looked at the contents of the agreement with an extremely complicated expression.

Damn, this guy Wang Yi really came prepared!

The agreement is ready, all that’s left is to fill in the specific numbers!

Now, we are in a difficult situation.

It's hard to go back on your promise.

But Director Qin changed his mind and decided it didn't matter.

Chip research and development and chip manufacturing are projects that are strongly supported by the government.

If there is real output, the official investment of 10 billion yuan will be worth it. I am just afraid that there is no output, and it will be a scam like Hanxin.

Therefore, the government is more cautious and dare not invest easily.

But Xingyi Semiconductor is different. It invests only after it has output.

The 40-nanometer process will be mass-produced first before the second large-scale wafer fab is sent. If it cannot be mass-produced, it will not be sent at all!

Then there is no need to worry.

More importantly, once Xingyi Wafer Factory can really mass-produce 40 nanometers this year, it will directly surpass SMIC and become the number one semiconductor giant in mainland China!

The gap with TSMC, Samsung and Intel has also been greatly narrowed.

As the semiconductor leader in the mainland, you have done a great deed!

Even if we give away a large wafer factory with a monthly production capacity of 10 wafers, what would that do?

Just the subsequent tax payments will pay for yourself in a few years!

Moreover, the Empire and the Xia Kingdom both need such high-end technology, and the top leaders will not object.

"You!" Director Qin shook his head but still signed.

"Thank you, Director Qin." Wang Yi smiled.

Director Qin's face turned a little dark, and then he shook his head:

“Mr. Wang, don’t be too happy too soon. If we can’t mass produce 40 nanometers and the yield rate doesn’t reach 85%, not to mention that we won’t be able to get a wafer fab with a monthly output of wafers, it will be difficult to get support in the future!”

Wang Yi, however, didn't care: "Don't worry, Director Qin, you just need to prepare the wafer factory."

"Are you so confident?" Director Qin remained noncommittal. He didn't think that Xingyi Semiconductor could easily handle the 40-nanometer process that SMIC had been struggling to complete for years.

This is unrealistic.

Wang Yi, however, was full of confidence.

He had discussed this with Mr. Hu a long time ago and there was no pressure to mass-produce 40-nanometer chips before the end of the year, and it might not even take until the end of the year.

As for the reason, it is naturally that although SMIC has a large number of people, their quality is limited and they lack top talents.

At this point, Mr. Liang has not joined yet.

The train runs fast, relying on the headband.

In its previous life, SMIC experienced rapid and leapfrog development after Mr. Liang joined the company.

But now, SMIC not only has no leader, but also is fighting among itself and only caring about vying for power and profit. How can it focus on the research and development of 40nm process?

However, Xingyi Semiconductor is completely different. It not only has top experts like Mr. Hu, Mr. Liang’s mentor, but also other students of Mr. Hu and classmates of Mr. Liang.

Even though these students are not as good as Mr. Liang, they are all semiconductor talents.

The entire Xingyi Semiconductor is united in its efforts to develop 40-nanometer technology!

No matter what Mr. Hu needs, Wang Yi and the entire Xingyi Technology Group will provide the greatest support.

Compared with the infighting and power struggles at SMIC, the situation is completely different!

Under this situation, with industry experts + a strong team + full support + everyone working together, it is only a matter of time before 28nm is solved, let alone the 40nm process?

To put it bluntly, the 40-nanometer process is easy to handle for Hu's team.

The research and development over the past few months has only been about studying a new set of solutions to completely avoid patent barriers.

Why was SMIC afraid in the previous life?

It means using other people's technology and thus being controlled by them.

Wang Yi’s goal from the beginning was to bypass patented technology and come up with a completely new solution.

Then you won’t be afraid of being stuck.

In addition, with this super large wafer factory, we can also seduce Mr. Hu again.

Give Mr. Hu some encouragement and make his 40-nanometer process even faster.

Typical double-dealing!

But Wang Yi thought of the photoresist again.

We have ordered lithography machines several times and kept placing orders. Even if there is a problem in the future, the lithography machines will be barely enough.

The current 40 nanometers, the future 20 nanometers, and the 14 nanometers will all be no problem.

With multiple exposure technology, 12 nanometers, 10 nanometers, and even 7 nanometers are no problem.

But if the photoresist is stuck, then we’re doomed.

This thing has a shelf life and cannot be stored for a long time!

In this regard, Wang Yi couldn't help but ask: "Director Qin, is there any progress in the research and development of domestic photoresist?"

"You are worried... worried that if there is a bottleneck and there is no photoresist, the wafer fab will be shut down, right?" Director Qin saw Wang Yi's concerns.

Wang Yi nodded: "Yes, this is a big problem. To be honest, I want Xingyi Semiconductor to develop quickly, but I am afraid that developing too fast will lead to blockade and suppression, which will be a tragedy. After all, photoresist is a big problem."

Director Qin frowned, fell into deep thought, and sighed for a long time:

"I understand. This matter is indeed difficult to resolve. Currently, photoresist has been included in the official key R&D support project, but your concerns are correct. I will write another letter and do my best to promote R&D investment in photoresist. But I can't guarantee when it will be completed."

"Okay, thank you Director Qin." Wang Yi had an idea in mind.

It seems that official research and development of photoresist is not enough, and Xingyi Technology also needs to invest money in research and development.

With these two preparations, whether it is a breakthrough made by the official or by Xingyi Technology, the bottleneck problem can be solved.

People without thought, he must worry about.

If we don't plan ahead now and wait until it is banned in four or five years, it will be too late.

The lithography machine is too complicated for Xingyi Technology to develop it, so it can only invest in related companies.

But there should be hope for photoresist, right?

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. This has always been Wang Yi's life principle.

The most advanced photoresist technology currently is in Japan.

The largest exporter of photoresist is also Japan.

Wang Yi plans to poach people from Japan!

If we can recruit core technical personnel and make breakthroughs in high-end photoresist, there is hope.

Although this is difficult, it is not impossible.
