Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

After the investment was finalized, Wujiang Microelectronics Company immediately began preparations to build a larger wafer fab.

At this time, TSMC has not yet been officially established, but the founders may already be making preparations.

However, Zhao Ye will never give TSMC a chance to rise.

The most valuable asset of a company is its talent.

Therefore, after Wujiang Microelectronics received an investment of 50 billion yuan from Wujiang Group, it once again launched a global talent poaching model to grab semiconductor talents before TSMC.

University of California, Berkeley, USA.

"Professor Hu Zhengming, hello, I am Meng Lianhan, Director of the Human Resources Department of Wujiang Microelectronics. Our company sincerely invites you to join Wujiang Microelectronics. At this moment, the development of China's semiconductors is at a critical juncture. Catch up with Western countries, or fall behind the world! Youdao is to 'rejuvenate the country through science and technology'. I hope Professor Hu can join us in witnessing the great rejuvenation of the motherland!!!" Meng Lianhan knew that many Chinese are quite patriotic, so Xiao Using reason and emotion, in the name of the country, he persuaded Professor Hu Zhengming to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company.

Hu Zhengming is a microelectronics scientist and an academician of the National Academy of Engineering. He has made significant contributions to the development of semiconductor devices and future miniaturization.

And his students are also very good. One of them is a chip wizard named Liang Mengsong. In his previous life, he and Hu Zhengming, a master and apprentice pair, joined TSMC. After continuous experiments and research, the two decided to adopt a new fin-type chip. Long-effect transistor, this unprecedented technology not only shocked everyone, but also broke through the process bottleneck that was a headache for the world at the time, directly skipping 150 nanometers and successfully reaching 130 nanometers. It was precisely because of the bold innovation of the two and Excellent knowledge and technology not only allow TSMC's semiconductor technology to be on par with IBM, but also get rid of dependence on related technologies in the United States.

However, TSMC did not pay attention to Liang Mengsong, which led Liang Mengsong to switch to Samsung to help Samsung improve its chip manufacturing technology and overtake TSMC.

"World Magazine" commented on Liang Mengsong, "The choice of one person can influence the growth and decline of the semiconductor industry in both places."

I have to say that this chip wizard Liang Mengsong is very awesome!

At this time, Hu Zhengming obviously listened to Meng Lianhan's words, and without much hesitation, he said solemnly: "Since the motherland needs me, then I decided to go back. I have heard a lot about the name of Wujiang Microelectronics Company in the United States. People have said that this is a very powerful and great company, and I am honored to join such a company!"

Meng Lianhan did not expect it to be so easy to persuade Hu Zhengming to join the company, "Professor Hu, welcome to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company. Being able to join our company will be even more powerful for you!" Meng Lianhan couldn't help but show a bit of excitement on her face, Shake hands.

Hu Zhengming smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. If I can do my little bit and make a little contribution to the motherland's semiconductor industry, that will be enough!"

Meng Lianhan asked: "Professor Hu, there should be many semiconductor talents among your disciples. Can you contact them to join Wujiang Microelectronics? Our company urgently needs more semiconductor talents. Of course, the salary is no worse than in the United States. !”

Hu Zhengming nodded: "Yes, I will try my best to persuade them to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company!"

"That's great, thank you Professor Hu!"

"Haha, you're welcome."

……

In 1987, the semiconductor industry had reached the stage of 193nm dry lithography technology.

At a seminar a few days ago, Lin Benjian proposed immersion lithography technology, but was ignored and ridiculed by everyone.

"Lin, the meeting is at 10 o'clock, don't be late!" An IBM employee said to Lin Benjian simply and indifferently before leaving.

Lin Benjian frowned slightly. Ever since he proposed immersion lithography technology a few days ago, he seemed to have been isolated by other people in the group.

I looked at my watch, it was already 9:45.

Lin Benjian stood up and immediately walked towards the conference room.

After entering the conference room, more than ten people doing X-ray technology were arranged to sit on one side of the conference table.

"Lin, sit on the other side!" the IBM employee said.

Lin Benjian was arranged to sit on the other side alone.

This is simply an isolated act by Chi Guoguo.

Lin Ben endured the anger in his heart and walked to the other side of the desk to sit down.

At present, the research on X-ray lithography technology is the mainstream. Lin Benjian’s proposal of immersion lithography technology is simply heresy.

After a while, the meeting started.

Lin Benjian looked at everyone's heated discussion on X-ray lithography technology with a blank expression.

Soon, IBM executives decided to give the X-ray technology team a large amount of research and development funding.

Lin Benjian stood up at this time and said loudly: "Mr. Harrison, at this stage of dry lithography, there is no hope for the future. Immersion lithography technology is the hope of future lithography technology. You just need to give me X With only one-tenth of the funding of the technical team, I can make something!"

Harrison shook his head and said: "Lin, your idea is deviant and contrary to mainstream thinking. IBM will not spend a penny on researching immersion lithography technology! Okay, don't talk anymore, this matter is settled. IBM’s research direction is X-ray lithography technology!”

When Lin Benjian heard this, he sat back on his chair with a disappointed look on his face.

……

As the sun set, Lin Benjian walked out of the IBM building, feeling very depressed.

At this time, a voice not far away shouted: "Mr. Lin Benjian!"

Lin Benjian turned his head and looked at the man in confusion: "Hello, who are you? Do you have anything to do with me?"

Meng Lianhan took out his business card from his bag and handed it over, saying, "Hello, Mr. Lin Benjian, I am Meng Lianhan, Human Resources Director of Wujiang Microelectronics Company."

Lin Benjian took the business card and looked at it, then looked at Meng Lianhan and asked: "Hello, Ms. Meng, what may I do for you?"

Meng Lianhan said: "Mr. Lin, this is not a good place to talk about things. How about we go to a nearby coffee shop to chat?"

"Okay, I happen to know that there is a very good coffee shop nearby. How about we go to that coffee shop to discuss things?" Lin Benjian nodded and said.

Meng Lianhan nodded and said, "Okay!"

Soon, the two of them arrived at the coffee shop. Meng Lianhan said straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, you must know my purpose of coming. We sincerely invite you to join Wujiang Microelectronics! Our company is very interested in immersion lithography technology. Interested, willing to spend huge sums of money to develop immersion lithography machines!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Benjian was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, a company was willing to invest in the idea I proposed at the seminar a few days ago.

When Lin Benjian thought about his isolation at IBM, he felt a surge of anger that was hard to get rid of.

If you don’t want to stay here, you will have a place to stay!

If you don’t value my research, then I will go to companies that value my research!

Lin Benjian immediately said to Meng Lianhan very readily: "Okay, I am willing to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company!"

Meng Lianhan was stunned when he heard this. It was so easy to recruit talents specifically designated by the boss. He couldn't believe it. Does this need a human resources director like me to personally take action?

There was no way, Meng Lianhan was really lucky, Hu Zhengming was a relatively patriotic scientist and educator, and Lin Benjian was at a low point in his life, being ostracized and isolated by his IBM colleagues.

In addition, Wujiang Microelectronics is relatively well-known in the industry and has the ability to provide a satisfactory research environment.

The parent company Wujiang Group is a well-known overlord in the gaming industry.

Therefore, both of them are more willing to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company.

……

The next day, Lin Benjian submitted his resignation to IBM.

A few days later, Professor Hu Zhengming also brought Liang Mengsong and several students to Meng Lianhan and expressed their willingness to join Wujiang Microelectronics Company. After the handover of their work was completed, they immediately left for China.

At this time, TSMC was still in preparation and the company had not even been established yet.

TSMC never expected that a large number of employees who originally belonged to TSMC would now be poached by Wujiang Microelectronics...
