Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology

After hearing Wang Xiang's words, Kosiros felt a little stunned. What does this mean?

What is a 65nm lithography machine with a yield rate of more than 90%?

What is this kidding?

Is Changtian Technology selling lithography machine products to Ames?

Kosiros couldn't help laughing, and did not hide his playful expression in the slightest.

What company is ASML?

The world's largest lithography machine provider, and even the only high-end lithography machine provider.

Now Changtian Technology is actually asking Corsiro if he is interested in a 65-nanometer lithography machine.

Isn't this playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong?

Kosiros felt that Wang Xiang's group came here to make himself happy.

Although he didn't know what Wang Xiang's purpose was, he felt that the purpose of Wang Xiang's visit this time should have something to do with the judgment of the US court.

Kosiros didn't want to spend his energy playing games with Wang Xiang, so he shrugged and said, "Mr. Wang Xiang, I really don't understand what you just said."

"I'll take it as if you need to buy ASML's lithography machine, but I'm very sorry, as I said just now, we have no way to sell your company's lithography machine products, we have to abide by the relevant international trade rules . . "

This so-called rule is the relevant policy specified by the West in order to prohibit the sale of high-tech products to Xia, and of course it is valid for high-end lithography machines.

Wang Xiang knew that Kosiros did not understand what he meant.

Wang Xiang wasn't angry because of Kosiros' playful expression.

As the world's largest lithography machine company, a company that almost monopolizes the entire high-end chip manufacturing lithography equipment, Cosiros does have the capital to play.

Wang Xiang leaned on the seat and took a sip of coffee and said, "Is there any tea?"

As a traditional Xia people, Wang Xiang does not have the habit of drinking coffee.

This request of Wang Xiang made Kosiros very angry, and he said angrily: "I'm sorry, there is no tea here."

Wang Xiang nodded, put the coffee cup on the table, and said, "At present, there are only two companies in the world that can produce 65-nanometer chips, one is a chip factory under Intel, and the other is Tire Electromechanical."

In order to consolidate its monopoly position, Intel retains its own chip processing factory even if most of the chips are handed over to the tire electromechanical foundry.

And Intel's chip production plant is even stronger than the tire electromechanical in terms of technology and strength.

Wang Xiang added: "However, the current mainstream chip registration in the world is still 130nm, and Intel's 90nm chip has just started mass production. It is expected that it will not be applied to commercial computers on a large scale until the beginning of this year or even next year."

Kosiros listened to Wang Xiang's words very seriously, he frowned, wondering what Wang Xiang meant by so many opening remarks?

Does this help Changtian Technology to buy a lithography machine?

Obviously not!

Wang Xiang said: "Why can't 65nm chips be mass-produced? The main reason is that the yield rate is not high."

"Even if the lithography machine of Amax is used, the probability of successful lithography is not more than 70%, and the yield of other equipment is not high, so the comprehensive yield of 65nm chips is less than 60%. "

Even Kosiros was very tired of Wang Xiang, but at this time he had to admit that Wang Xiang's statement was completely correct.

Less than 60% yield, which is quite a scary number.

Chip production is high-end production, and the cost is quite high. If the yield rate is less than 60%, then the chip cost will definitely be pushed up, and the cost will be high to a certain range, and consumers will never pay.

So in this case, even if Intel has 65nm technology, it will not produce it, and it will not be handed over to the tire electromechanical production, because the technology does not meet the standard.

"With this yield rate, any chip company will lose money in production, so mass production cannot be achieved."

"Since mass production can't be achieved, how about large-scale applications, what do you mean by Mr. Kosiros?" Wang Xiang looked directly at Kosiros, not afraid of Kosiros' gaze.

This time, Kosiros couldn't sit still.

Wang Xiang's every sentence basically got to the point.

ASML's 65nm lithography machine is not technically mature at all, it can only be said that it is barely enough.

But why does Intel know that the 65nm lithography machine is not accurate enough, and still buy it?

The most important reason is strategic deterrence.

Regardless of whether the yield rate is high or not, we will do it first.

It came out to tell the world that Intel has been able to produce chips at 65nm, and the technology is the most advanced in the world.

This strategic deterrent is very powerful.

And the lithography machine is not a cheap product, nor is it a one-shot deal.

The price of a lithography machine similar to 65nm is close to one billion meters, and there is strict after-sales.

In the future, ASML has conquered the technology and has a better yield rate, and will give Intel free updates.

Intel, of course, felt that buying it sooner or later would buy it sooner or later, so it bought it.

Cosiros said, "Mr. Wang Xiang, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Xiang asked Luo Ning to take out the materials from the file bag, and handed the materials to Kosiros and said, "Sir, you can take a look at our materials, I think you should be very interested."

Cosiros is very curious about what this material is.

After opening the material, Kosiros was stunned!

what material is this?

This is the 65nm lithography machine production technical guide written and translated by Chen Xiao himself.

Just a guide, not a complete production technique.

Complete production technology is not something that can be installed with just such a small amount of information.

However, it is only a production guide, and the above has more completely explained the key technologies and points of attention in the production process of 65nm lithography machine.

There are some points of attention that ASML has been unable to address for a long time.

This is also why the accuracy of the 65nm lithography machine has not been able to meet the requirements of ASML.

This time, Kosiros was shocked.

[Influence +300]

Kosiros hurriedly turned to the corresponding page according to the directory.

Pages are also not specific technologies, but rather descriptions like a technical outline.

The layman can't understand what these descriptions mean, but Kosiros is not only the vice president of the company, but also the head of the technical department.

I really understand the key technologies in the production of lithography machines.

By looking at the contents of the file, Cosiros was absolutely sure.

Changtian Technology's mastery of lithography machine technology is no worse than that of ASML.

And all these solutions to the problems that ASML has been unable to solve for a long time are solutions that the professional and technical personnel of ASML never thought of.

Cosiros can even conclude that if he can get the detailed technology.

Then the accuracy of ASML's 65nm lithography machine can definitely be improved to more than 99.9%.

The improvement of the precision of the lithography machine can also absolutely improve the yield of 65nm chips.

It can even directly lead to the mass production of 65-nanometer chips from companies such as Intel.

Cosiros swallowed, although Changtian Technology has a semiconductor business, and Ames is a leader in semiconductor equipment.

But the two sides have not had any contact before this.

It is a pity that ASML has dealt with Intel, AMD, etc., and does not have much energy on a small Xiaguo enterprise.

Therefore, Kosiros' understanding of Changtian Technology is limited to media reports.

It took Kosiros about 20 minutes to check the information handed over by Wang Xiang in detail.

Afterwards, Kosiros apologized to Wang Xiang again, and took the information to the technical department for discussion.

The technical department spent an hour analyzing the information in detail.

Then the entire tech sector boiled over.

"Where did this information come from? How could there be such a subtle solution to the problem?"

"Is there a detailed technical operation guide? I think that according to this method, the precision problem of our 65-nanometer lithography machine will be solved!"

"Sir, where did the technical information come from? Was it organized by the technical side of our department? Are there more details?"

Seeing the reactions of the technicians, Kosiros said with emotion: "This is not the relevant information compiled by our technicians, but from Xia Guochangtian Technology."

After detailed analysis by Cosiros and technicians, they agreed.

Changtian Technology is absolutely capable of producing 65nm-level, high-precision lithography machines.

Since then, Kosiros has not dared to neglect.

On the one hand, the matter is reported to the company's board of directors.

On the other hand, he hurried back to the conference room and urgently answered with Wang Xiang.

Because Kosiros didn't know what was the purpose of Wang Xiang's visit this time?

Wang Xiang was not idle at this time.

Instead, people walking back and forth in the corridor observe the working environment of ASML.

At this time, Wang Xiang actually had some emotions.

There are not many workers and technicians in ASML.

But it has created the world's most advanced technology products.

what does that mean?

It does not mean how powerful the technical personnel of ASML are, but behind ASML, there is a strong technology supply system.

ASML is just one reaction to the power of Western technology.

The current dilemma that Xia Guo is encountering is that the technology supply chain is too weak, and the technology environment is also very bad.

There are not many companies in Quanxiaguo that dare to innovate like Changtian Technology.

There are not many innovative technology companies, which means that the supply chain of Changtian Technology is very poor.

Every supply chain needs Changtian Technology to open up or even do it by itself.

This not only increases the time cost of Changtian Technology, but also increases the economic cost.

Seeing Wang Xiang walking in the corridor, Kosiros quickly said, "Mr. Wang Xiang is really sorry, I've made you wait here for a long time."

"Please come to the office!"

For those unfamiliar or less important guests, Kosiros usually met him in the conference room.

But for those key guests.

Cosiros would invite each other to sit in his office for a long time.

"Mr. Wang Xiang, what do you mean by the cooperation you just proposed?"

Wang Xiang smiled and asked Luo Ning to take out another document.

In fact, at this time, Wang Xiang was still a little shocked.

He also did not expect that the power of the technical document just now would be so powerful.

As for the production technology of the optical science machine, it is entirely the credit of Chen Xiao.

Wang Xiang even thought that without Chen Xiao, Changtian Technology would not have developed to today's experience.

"This is our cooperation plan, please take a look at it sir."

The content of cooperation is very simple.

Changtian Technology provides optimized, 65nm-level optical technology technology.

ASML is responsible for production.

But Changtian Technology has two conditions.

The first condition is that the lithography machine is first handed over to Changtian Technology for use.

Changtian Technology is purchased at 50% off the market price.

This condition is that the lithography machine is not allowed to be sold to Intel within one year.

Intel is available for purchase after a year.

At the same time, Changtian Technology will share 30% of the profit for each lithography machine sold.

Seeing such conditions, Kosiros was shocked.

How could he agree to this first condition.

Because this condition is to completely rank Intel as a second-class citizen.

You must know that Intel is an important shareholder of ASML.

When Wang Xiang said such conditions, he did not actually hope that ASML would agree.

Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang to negotiate, and Wang Xiang didn't know what Chen Xiao's original intention was.

How could anyone agree to this condition?

Sure enough, Kosyros' face turned black.

He is very nervous and confused now.

He definitely can't decide this kind of thing alone, and he must submit it to the board of directors for discussion.

"Any more detailed technical information?" Kosiros said.

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Of course! Your company will see it soon."

Wang Xiang is fine anyway, just like Chen Xiao said, he can take a look at the tulips in Holland and wait for the news here.

At this time, Jiangzhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.

Song Yi has published the 65nm lithography machine production technology, 65nm ten-etching technology, and 65nm chip production technology (non-confidential, public papers) in accordance with the company's instructions. in the magazine.

And also submitted to related computer academic journals in the United States and Europe.

If other companies submit manuscripts, they may not be valued by the relevant journals.

But this time it was Changtian Technology, and at this time, Changtian Technology already had an important influence on a global scale.

This time the global semiconductor industry was shocked.

Changtian Technology actually has a complete 65nm lithography machine production technology!

And it is a production technology with a yield rate of more than 99%!

how can that be?

Hasn't the U.S. handed down a verdict?

It is very clear that Yanjiang Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, has infringed on the patented technology of TSMC~www.readwn.com~ Even 130nm is stealing TSMC, how can it be possible to produce 65nm?

But judging from the papers published by Changtian Technology.

All content stated by Changtian Technology is true.

This time, the semiconductor industry in the West was stunned in an instant.

Who is stealing whose technology?

ASML has also seen relevant papers published directly by Changtian Technology.

I'm in a hurry!

If Changtian Technology cooperates with other lithography machine companies, what will be the consequences?
