Rebirth of science and technology academic master

The National Day holiday is finally over!

On October 8, the company went to work normally and the school officially resumed classes. The National Day atmosphere gradually cooled down. Qin Yuanqing also asked his parents to take a private plane back to Ludao.

Qin Yuanqing also shifted the focus to schools and scientific research.

"Now that Huaxin has almost developed, it's time to exchange for top-level lithography machines!" Qin Yuanqing focused on lithography machines.

As we all know, the lithography machine is one of the core equipment for chip manufacturing. Without the lithography machine, chips cannot be manufactured. Lithography machines have always been China's biggest shortcoming in semiconductor equipment manufacturing. The high-end lithography machines required by domestic wafer factories are completely dependent on imports.

High-end lithography machines are the biggest shortcoming of China's semiconductor equipment manufacturing. Naturally, everyone hopes to solve this problem and make China truly a semiconductor manufacturing power. However, until now, China still suffers from lithography machines.

Because if you want to develop a photolithography machine, you need two foundations - a top-notch light source and a lens.

Therefore, Europe, the United States and Japan have the foundation to develop lithography machines. To this day, the only company that can provide lenses for EUV is Zeiss, and only American Light Source can meet EUA requirements.

Another more important prerequisite is the promotion of chip companies. In the years when Japan's semiconductor industry was booming, Nikon and Canon's photolithography machines were once the mainstream of the market. Intel's 45nm process still uses Nikon's photolithography machines.

Japanese manufacturers declined due to some reasons. In 2009, ASML received a total of US$5.2 billion from Intel, Samsung and TSMC to support ASML. ASML needed money and resources, so it quickly became a monopoly giant in the industry.

Therefore, judging from the development of ASML, lithography machines are already an industry in which the entire industry chain is deeply involved. Money alone is not enough, but must be closely integrated with lenses, light sources and wafer factories.

Those Internet giants claim to invest tens of billions in semiconductors, but no one is optimistic about it, just because this thing does not require money!

"It's totally unreasonable to get stuck on a high-end lithography machine!" Qin Yuanqing sneered.

China has already mastered lithography machines and mid- and low-end lithography machines, so China has never been short of mid- and low-end chips. China's self-produced mid- and low-end chips are also very low-priced and have very thin profits.

What China lacks is high-end lithography machines. This part of related technology is still within the patent protection period, and ASML has already established a patent ratio. The price of a high-end lithography machine is 5000 to 500 million U.S. dollars, and it is not possible to have money. To buy it, you have to submit an application, and you have to queue up after the application is approved.

For some reasons, the price of a high-end lithography machine in China is often US$300-500 million.

Therefore, the production capacity and price of high-end chips have always remained high.

For others, it would be difficult to bypass patent barriers and develop new light sources and lenses, but for Qin Yuanqing, it couldn't be easier.

There are so many kinds of light waves, the EUV light source wavelength is 13.5nm, and the process node is 7~3nm. It is entirely possible to choose other light sources, further shorten the wavelength, and shorten the process node to 1nm.

The 1nm process is the theoretical limit of silicon chips.

Don’t forget, that’s a silicon chip, not a carbon-based chip. With the same process, carbon-based chips are much more advanced than silicon-based chips. Even carbon-based chips can reach 0.1nm!

Qin Yuanqing couldn't understand no matter how hard he thought about it, China had already submitted a batch of quantum computers. How could anyone think that China couldn't produce high-end lithography machines and high-end chips?

After thinking for a while, Qin Yuanqing exchanged ASML's full set of lithography machine technologies. After a little research, he found that after slight improvements in the light source and lens, the new lithography machine technology was even more advanced than ASML's most advanced lithography machine today. many.

This most advanced lithography machine has a process that can reach 1nm, which can be said to be a big step ahead of ASML's EUA lithography machine.

"Even without the big killer of carbon-based chips, the 1nm chips produced by this photolithography machine alone are enough to sweep ASML into the garbage dump of history." Qin Yuanqing was full of confidence in this, as if he saw a company with a market value of more than 3,000 The billion-dollar technology giant once again staged the collapse of the Nokia empire, losing in a confused and unclear manner.

When ASML issued that announcement, Qin Yuanqing had already sentenced ASML to death.

Who gave him the courage to think that he could do whatever he wanted without paying the price?

Qin Yuanqing believed that many people would see the general trend of history clearly and make wise choices. But facts have proven that a small number of people who can see the historical trend clearly are the real heroes, while the majority of people are actually just confused.

There are so few century-old stores in the world. A very important reason is that the times are changing.

Qin Yuanqing solved the problem of lithography machine technology and then updated a WeChat Weibo update:

"The most advanced photolithography machine technology in the world has been officially conquered by me!"

As soon as Qin Yuanqing's WeChat account was updated, it immediately caused a shock wave and the information spread rapidly.

If anyone else, even a well-known Chinese professor, had said this, everyone would just sneer at it, thinking that someone was trying to gain attention and traffic through grandstanding.

But this is what Qin Yuanqing said, so it's different.

After ten years of accumulation, Qin Yuanqing is more than just three words, more than just a person's name, it represents authority and trust!

"Damn~~ I read that correctly, right? The high-end lithography machine was just conquered like that?"

"When I woke up, I found that the world was different!"

"Why didn't Academician Qin study lithography machines earlier? If he had solved it earlier, he wouldn't have spent tens of billions of dollars every year to import lithography machines!"

"AMSL is doomed this time, I have sold the stock! (gloating)"

"You can still live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own! It perfectly explains this sentence!"

"When I saw Academician Qin saying that the lithography machine technology has been solved, I relaxed physically and mentally. I didn't even have any doubts at all!"

"Upstairs, you don't have to doubt, you are right to choose to trust!"

"Woo~~ The country's destiny is prosperous, and no one can stop it! Our goal is the stars and the sea!"

"I have decided to join the semiconductor manufacturing industry! I will borrow a billion from my dad later to start a business!"

"."

It has to be said that the start of the fourth industrial revolution has indeed brought unimaginable development opportunities to China. The entire society is full of vitality, and the industrial structure is improving and improving at a speed that can be seen with the naked eye.

A large number of new companies are born every year, and young entrepreneurs step onto the stage of history one after another. At the same time, a group of factory owners who are too late to adapt to this rapidly developing and changing society have poor management and have gone bankrupt.

The mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry has become a major taxpayer and a major profit-maker. The proportion of mid-to-high-end manufacturing industry has been significantly increasing rapidly, and its role in China's economy has become increasingly obvious.

The upgrading of the manufacturing industry has led to the improvement of national power, and the improvement of national power has led to the improvement of national self-confidence.

China is rejuvenating, and every Chinese person is full of firm confidence.

Qin Yuanqing had just updated his WeChat and Weibo. As a result, his phone was exploding with calls one after another. Qin Yuanqing was so annoyed that he turned off his phone and went into his study to practice calligraphy.

"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!"

Qin Yuanqing picked up the brush and wrote these two sentences on the rice paper.

After Qin Yuanqing waited for the ink to dry, he hung it up. Qin Yuanqing kept some of the characters he was satisfied with, while destroying some of the characters he was not satisfied with.

"You still have time to practice calligraphy, but everything is in chaos outside!" Jingtian came back and saw Qin Yuanqing admiring his handwriting, and said angrily: "You turned off your phone, but all the calls came to me. One hundred Multiple phone calls are really annoying.”

Qin Yuanqing turned off the phone and felt at ease. In addition, the home was heavily guarded and no one could enter.

But this was a pain for Jingtian. His landline and mobile phone kept ringing with people asking questions and trying to build relationships.

Jingtian was completely confused, and the people who could call her were either high-ranking or business tycoons, and they couldn't be offended easily.

After working on it for a long time, she learned that Qin Yuanqing had launched a large satellite, conquered high-end photolithography machine technology, and caused a tsunami in the semiconductor industry.

A WeChat post caused a tsunami in the industry, and only Qin Yuanqing had this ability.

"Have you really conquered the lithography machine?" Jingtian couldn't help but ask.

"Well, actually the lithography machine is not that difficult!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "You will know when you have applied for all the patents."

Once the technology has been conquered, the next step is to apply for a patent and build your own patent barriers to lock in others.

The dragon-slaying warrior finally becomes a dragon!

"Oh, overseas semiconductor-related stocks are probably going to plummet!" Jingtian can already imagine that when overseas stock markets open, those semiconductor stocks will continue to fall.

"You can live if you do evil by God, but you can't live if you do evil on your own! Since you have done something wrong, you have to pay the price!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

He doesn't care about the life and death of those companies. They have made a lot of money in recent years, and none of them has become fat and rich with huge profits.

But now, the world is upside down and the situation is changing. It's time to pay the price.

"If you have friends who hold stocks in this area, you should sell them as much as possible. Wait for Huaxin to go public after a while, and then transfer to Huaxin shares!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Huaxin finally turned a profit this year. Relying on the huge demand for Chinese chips and chip foundry, Huaxin became the world's third largest semiconductor manufacturing company in one fell swoop. If nothing unexpected happens, it will surpass Samsung this year and become the world's third largest semiconductor manufacturer. The second largest.

Naturally, Huaxin wants to go public to raise more capital investment, and it is destined to become a giant with a market value of more than 500 billion yuan.

Qin Yuanqing now holds 10% of Huaxin's shares, so he naturally knows about Huaxin's listing plan.

And his photolithography machine technology is also planned to be licensed to Huaxin. After all, the good news will not go to outsiders.
