Black Technology Refresher Manual

"Blue River Technology and Shenshi Microelectronics Technology have reached a strategic cooperation to jointly assemble 13.5nmeuv, and have completed the preliminary stage of simulation modeling. At the same time, Professor Zhu from Shuimu University reported that the core technology of the dual-workbench system was broken, and NTU Optoelectronics R & D The progress of the arf photoresist is rapid, and Shenshi and Chuncheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics have been undertaking the national ?02 special optical system..."

"Blue River Technology is confident that it will complete the engineering acceptance of the 13.5nm extreme ultraviolet lithography machine by the end of this year." Sheng Ming settled down, looked around the lecture hall, and asked: "Do you have any questions?"

-

The audience was quiet and no one asked questions.

Sheng Mingan raised his eyebrows, isn't the academic circle very picky?

Generally speaking, academic seminars will attract a large number of questions that sound like making things difficult. There are a lot of people raising their hands in the keynote speeches in the morning and in the later stages of the previous seminars. For a very perfunctory speech, the organizers arranged for the actors to raise their hands to ask questions in advance, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of being cold.

How come it's his turn and no one asks questions?

Could it be that his promise to complete the acceptance of the 13.5nm lithography machine project by the end of the year is too exaggerated, no one believes it?

He is usually so aggressive, but Molenkov and others are so despicable that he seldom gets angry, so he abandons the original conservative speech, and then relies on the knowledge of developing and assembling lithography machines in his previous life to temporarily enrich the speech content, It boldly predicts that by the end of the year, it will deliver a perfect answer sheet that attracts the attention of the world.

But this is not an exaggeration. In Sheng Mingan's original plan, he did plan to complete the acceptance of a 13.5nm lithography machine by the end of the year, and sell high-end euvs that can be mass-produced in the first quarter of next year.

Sheng Mingan calmly asked again into the microphone: "Is there any problem here?"

"—"

The silence lasted for two seconds, and the next moment the applause was like thunder. Most of the people sitting below stood up and applauded excitedly.

However, the senior executives of Qualcomm and ASML looked ugly and froze.

Molenkov turned his head and asked in a low voice? The ASML executive next to his left hand: "What he said? Is it true? Can Blue River Technology create an euv better than ASML?"

ASML executives are worried: "If they break through the 13.5nm light source system technology, euv, which is better than ASML, is indeed... likely to be broken!"

"!!" Molenkov: "How could the people of Huaguo, whose technology is blocked, build a complex lithography machine?"

He frowned, and looked sullenly at Sheng Mingan on the stage: "Who is he? I've never heard of him—Hua people stole our technology?!"

ASML executives shook their heads and denied: "Although they are all high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, the core technology is obviously different."

The content of Sheng Ming'an's speech did not involve the core technology, but only described the outline, but the asml executives have already been able to distinguish the difference in technology from the outline.

What's more, the core technology of ASML is controlled by enterprises in different countries, and these enterprises have been passed down for 50, [-] or even hundreds of years. Whether it is the secrecy of the core technology or the protection of patents, they are the only ones who cheat people.

When the ASML executive said this, Molenkov's face turned pale, and he shut up, but his mood fell to the bottom.

The invited guests in the first three rows were thoughtful, and someone turned to ask? Hiroshi Amano: "Mr. Amano, do you understand?"

Hiroshi Amano nodded: "He said a basic outline, is the general direction right? There is nothing wrong. If possible, I hope to go to Blue River Technology to visit the light source system equipment in person."

"You mean to say that they really broke the EUV's technology?!"

Hiroshi Amano replied with a more cautious sentence: "The future partner may be Hua Guo."

One sentence? It is enough to show that the content of Sheng Mingan's speech is at least 100% true, and the success rate of his proposal is close to [-]%.

However, if the success rate of a scientific research plan is 5%, it is enough to attract a large amount of investment.

The executives of leading domestic semiconductor companies in the front row were overjoyed. At this moment, they were thinking about how to invest in Blue River Technology, and how to join Jinshi Semiconductor Fund.

Think about how big the Huaguo chip market is?How many chips are imported each year?

2000 billion! 3000!

Not RMB, but US dollars!

This is just the money spent on imported chips every year. In addition, there are various machinery and equipment for manufacturing chips, lithography, packaging and testing, chip design software and its derivative industries...

An in-depth study of a complete semiconductor industry chain is not just a simple upstream, midstream and downstream IC design, lithography machine, and chip packaging and testing. Its derivatives and related industries have jointly created a huge microelectronics kingdom.

Think about it, the United States can easily defeat one of the largest semiconductor companies in Huaguo with a chip and a lithography machine. Now, they see? Huaguo Technology Control the future of the right to speak?

In the not-too-distant future, maybe at the end of the year, maybe next year!

They will be able to recover all the funds that have flowed abroad in the past ten or twenty years!Can they ruthlessly curse at Qualcomm's European and American capitals with eyes on top of their heads: Fuck you!

So how can they not be excited?

The bigwigs in the semiconductor industry can't wait to get up on the spot and rush to the stage to hold Sheng Ming'an to discuss cooperation and business, and even want to make a phone call to make them invest in the Tianjin Semiconductor Fund overnight!

Because the high-end lithography machine is in Blue River Technology, and Blue River Technology is in Jin City!

The semiconductor foundation in Jin City has become a sweet pastry, and even Hongxin, which is a pool of mud, has become golden.

Thunder?Big debt and? Risk?

nonexistent.

With a high-end lithography machine, are you afraid that Hongxin will not be able to survive?

Are there any scholars in the back row? The bosses in the front row are very thoughtful, and immediately raised their hands and asked loudly: "Shengshen, please ask? Based on the particle swarm light source optimization algorithm!"

"Shengshen, do you know silicon wafer dynamics?", "Shengshen, are you interested in the structural dynamics project of lithography machines? I am working on this project, and I sincerely invite you to participate—"

The audience was chattering and enthusiastic, and Sheng Mingan took it for granted, and chose a few more valuable questions to answer.

The media reporters in the audience couldn't understand too profound terms, but they all knew the importance of EUV lithography machines, and they also understood Sheng Ming'an's end-of-year acceptance——

Regardless of whether Sheng Mingan is sensationalizing or not, this is definitely big news! !

***

The time limit for the special speech was up, and Sheng Mingan and Lin Chengjian came down one after the other, but the stage belonging to Blue River Technology was not over yet, and the curtain had just begun.

Will the next special speech be able to surpass the Snapdragon 820 chip released by Qualcomm, and it is even more impossible to surpass Sheng Ming'an's 13.5nm light source system technology. All the stars of the conference will be gathered in the two sessions of Qualcomm and Blue River Technology speech.

As soon as Sheng Ming'an got off the podium, he was surrounded by groups. Domestic semiconductor bosses, foreign semiconductor executives, enthusiastic media and the audience all came to speak and ask questions or seek cooperation. The road was completely surrounded.

Lei Ke and Lin Chengjian quickly squeezed in to separate the crowd, and first protected Sheng Ming'an to leave the lecture hall safely. Dr. Qiu arranged a quiet guest room for them to stay first, and then let the students go out to deal with the people who came here.

The students rolled up their sleeves full of energy and went out to deal with the bosses in the semiconductor industry—running around the world with their mentors, and this was the first time they politely refused the bosses' request for cooperation. It was a highlight of life.

In the guest room, Leike hurriedly asked: "Sheng Gong, do you also know how to assemble lithography machines?"

Sheng Ming'an: "Something dabbled in."

The conditions for developing a lithography machine in his previous life were much harsher than now. One person is worth ten people, so he had to take on multiple jobs to research the complex assembly of high-end lithography machines.

Lei Ke: "Damn it."

We must know that the lithography machine is not only a complex subsystem technology that is difficult to break through, but it is enough to make people want to vomit blood when assembled with tens of thousands of parts.

The assembly technology of the lithography machine is sophisticated. In addition, it is necessary to design a security program during the assembly process that automatically destroys the core system to prevent the technology from being stolen by disassembling the lithography machine without authorization.

Lei Ke: "You also designed a self-destruct security program?"

Sheng Ming'an: "I discussed it with Chen Jingqiu, and he has an idea."

Lei Ke was speechless for a long time, wondering what else he couldn't do?

On the side, Dr. Qiu's assistant looked at Lei Ke enviously. When he met such a boss, he must have stepped on shit when he went out after worshiping Buddha in his previous life!

Lin Chengjian was more cautious: "Sheng Gong, how sure are you?"

Sheng Ming'an: "I can only guarantee that the prototype will be accepted first. I'm afraid mass production of euv will have to wait? Wait?."

"Then it's stable!" Lin Chengjian took a deep breath, unable to hide his excitement: "We can try to assemble the prototype first - Blue River's research and development funds for the next quarter don't have to worry about it. I guess someone will come to block us today and tomorrow, why don't we go back first?" Tsu?"

Sheng Mingan let it go: "I have to go back to the University of Science and Technology tomorrow. You will be responsible for the cooperation, and don't ask me for problems that are not related to scientific research projects."

Lin Chengjian's eyes were loving, looking at Sheng Ming'an as if he was looking at a shining God of Wealth? Like: "You can do whatever you say."

After saying this, he turned his head and told Lei Ke seriously: "I'll make a phone call later and let Ye Xie handle the investment and orders. Someone must contact the Blue River headquarters directly. I'm short of manpower, Comrade Lei, rely on you."

Lei Ke of Social Fear Research Dog started backing away after hearing the words: "I can't? I won't let you find someone else."

Lin Chengjian: "Just to let you receive clients—"

Lei Ke shook his head and refused, and Dr. Qiu next to him said, "Why don't I ask some friends to help you?"

Lin Chengjian was moved: "I told you a joke? May I ask? Who is your friend?"

Dr. Qiu smiled: "Is the CEO of Huaxin qualified enough?"

A business boss, definitely qualified! !

Lin Chengjian quickly accepted and expressed his gratitude. Dr. Qiu waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter, no? It's not a big deal. I'm not selfish. I also have a strong interest in investing in Blue River Technology. After the conference is over, I'm afraid I have to leave. A trip to Tsu."

He is frank? Selfish, but not offensive.

Moreover, Dr. Qiu has another identity as an executive of Huadian Technology, and Huadian Technology's investment in Blue River Technology has always been on Lin Chengjian's list of cooperation plans.

Lin Chengjian happily discussed cooperation matters with Dr. Qiu.

After listening to it for a while, Sheng Mingan walked to the side without being interested, and took out the tablet computer he carried with him to read the latest paper on graphene. All sounds around him were blocked, and he finally had time to start a new round of scientific research projects. .

Chapter 75 Shanwei [07] Mr. Chen is young and deep-minded, just like a thousand-year-old demon.

【The 13.5nm light source system has been breached! 】

[Blue River Technology. 】

[Sheng Ming'an & 13.5nm lithography machine. 】

[Sheng Ming'an threatened to complete the acceptance of the 13.5nmeuv prototype by the end of the year! 】

[cstic version of 'Huashan Lunjian'. 】

[Qualcomm releases 14nm Snapdragon 820 chip, its performance directly surpasses that of i7? 】

The report came out in the early morning, and the entire semiconductor circle was boiling.

People at home and abroad are eagerly looking forward to the next move of Blue River Technology. Some people analyze the 13.5nm light source system technology that Blue River Technology has broken through. There is no doubt? No lithography machine research and development company has surpassed Blue River Technology in terms of light source system.

However, there are not only many subsystems in the lithography machine, but also complex assembly. ASML once bluntly said that even if they sell a 14nmeuv to Huaguo, they will never be able to assemble it if they are allowed to disassemble it without installing a self-destruct system.

It's not that asml is dust-free, but that it's really difficult to assemble a lithography machine.

Therefore, many experts and enthusiasts in the semiconductor circle are focusing on this point to analyze whether Sheng Ming'an's speech at the conference is capable? Complete, how does the obscure Blue River Technology stand out and surpass ASML overnight.

Unexpectedly, related posts on electronic forums have sprung up one after another, and there are four or five related hot searches. The tag 'Sheng Ming'an' alone has been in the top three for a whole day.

[It turns out that I, Shengshen, didn't move for a year and didn't post a blog for half a year just to make it big? 】

[Sheng Shen is awesome, I'm tired of talking about it. 】

【So, can I look forward to using a mobile phone with a domestic chip next year? 】

【Yes.According to Shengshen, the prototype will be completed by the end of the year, and high-end euvs that can be mass-produced will be sold next year. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers should have heard the news and started cooperation. They must be the first to buy domestically produced euvs! 】

[Conservative guess, a brand new domestic chip should be released by the end of next year! 】

[Huaxing breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and offered a cooperation? Order. 】

[For some domestic mobile phones, Huaxin International followed closely behind, and I was relieved that I didn't have to suffer the same crime as my elder brother. 】

[Hahahahahaha ... I thought of the sanctions of Huaxing in the US Department of Commerce and Qualcomm came up with a new top chip developed in order to severely create Hua Guo semiconductor and crazy chip market. A ghost who played cards according to common sense, wishful thinking was smashed, I just wanted to burst out laughing. 】

[Shengshen is mighty!My rabbit is mighty! 】

[Feng Shui turns, this year? My house——tomorrow the U.S. Department of Commerce said that the sanctions list was wrong, everything was a misunderstanding, and everyone’s harmony makes money [狗头]. 】

[Don’t forget the time difference, then I’ll bet that the announcement on Qualcomm Huaguo’s official website in the early morning is all the fault of the American political parties. We are actively communicating—wow!The communication is successful, and the chip supply continues!So dear friends, don't engage in research and development of lithography machines, and continue to buy our chips, don't be ignorant of good and bad. 】

[6666... ​​perfectly figured out the psychology of white men. 】

……

In the global information age, the news is fleeting, and what happens in China is transferred to the Internet. It doesn’t take a moment to make a sensation in the foreign semiconductor circles, especially after the report by a reporter stationed in China who went to the International Semiconductor Conference in Shanghai that day. certificate.

Screenshot of the external network Sheng Ming'an's speech at the speech meeting: [...The acceptance of the 13.5nm lithography machine prototype will be completed by the end of the year. ], [13.5nmeuv core technology has been overcome. ]

The news was widely reported and disseminated. The bbc even gave up a special section to report the matter directly in the regular magazine. The Sun newspaper was even more unprecedented. It did not use the sensational headlines that attracted people's attention in the past, but reported the Huaguo in a serious manner. lithography machine.

As for the New York Times, there are only a few words involved, and the rest of the article describes the latest chips released by Qualcomm.

The follow-up development was as expected by some domestic netizens. The chip sanctions imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce on China were quickly revoked. Huaxing successfully purchased Qualcomm’s chips and resolved the crisis on the verge of bankruptcy.

Leading companies such as Microelectronics Technology, Huadian Technology, and Huaxin International have successively injected capital into Blue River Technology. Under the premise of sufficient R&D funds, Blue River Technology has restarted many scientific research projects that had been put on hold for a long time, and at the same time recruited talents, expanded its territory and Build factories, etc.

On the other hand, established companies such as Samsung, Nikon, and Canon contacted Blue River Technology. Although they missed the opportunity for capital injection, they also reached cooperation with material suppliers.

In addition to established semiconductor companies, there are more than a dozen national semiconductor-related companies that have settled in Jin City to investigate the development of the semiconductor industry chain in Jin City and seek friendly cooperation.

The semi-dead semiconductor industry chain in Jin City, which was originally half-dead due to Hongxin's thunderstorm, has been revived and has burst into a strong and vigorous vitality. Its development momentum is so fierce that people all over the country can see it.

And all this? All rely on? Blue River Technology!

Some pessimistic small companies who thought they would go bankrupt at the end of the year heard the news? This? The news immediately shocked them. Before they could react, they were stunned by a series of preferential policies issued by the Tianjin government to support the development of semiconductors.

If you carefully inquire about those preferential policies, they are all aimed at the bankruptcy crisis encountered by small and medium-sized companies like them!

With the preferential policies of the Tianjin Municipal Government and the support of the Tianjin Semiconductor Foundation, small and medium-sized companies that would have gone bankrupt are able to survive the Spring Festival this year safely.

When Jin City develops a domestically produced euv, the entire semiconductor industry chain in Jin City will be completely revitalized.

At the same time, Chen Tianhe, who heard the news, smashed his beloved tea table on the spot, and immediately contacted Zheng He to order him to rush back to Tianjin City overnight and return to Hongxin.

Zheng He euphemistically reminded: "Chen Dong, I have already resigned, and it is impossible to go back? Besides, Hongxin's account is empty. We transfer billions of dollars in private, unless we put the money back? Go?, put It's a good deal, but it's too conspicuous to do this at this critical moment. Besides—"

Besides, the lithography machine belongs to Blue River Technology, not Hongxin. They abandoned Hongxin and ran away without a trace. Now that the situation is better, they will go back. Who would value them?Who dares to trust them?

If he hadn't been in a hurry to run back then, or if Blue River Technology had announced the news that they had conquered the light source system earlier, maybe Hongxin could have followed suit.

This? He didn't say it clearly.

"Hongxin's mines are still there, and whoever takes over will have to dig mines at the risk of being killed."

Chen Tianhe calmed down and realized that what Zheng He said was right, but he was unwilling to give up semiconductors, a field with huge profits, and business was not doing well recently, and the latest policies issued by the state somehow Looking back, several items are not conducive to the development of Tenghui Group.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you still have any record of Ji Hai accepting bribes?"

Zheng He: "Yes. What do you mean?"

Chen Tianhe: "It's time for him to play a role."

Zheng He: "I understand."

***

The air conditioner in the room buzzed, and Ji Hai who hung up the phone still felt that he was outside in the glittering July, with a thin layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and Zheng He's threat to "steal out" echoed in his mind. Otherwise, you will be charged with various crimes such as prostitution, accepting bribes, and selling Blue River Technology's business secrets.

Ji Hai doesn't even have half a bucket of water in his stomach, so he has no access to the core laboratory of the R&D department, even if he gets in by luck, he may not even be able to understand the core technical information!

But if he didn't secretly take out these technical materials, Zheng He would certainly be able to denounce him.

He doesn't want to go to jail.

What should he do?

etc--

Ji Hai caught a glimpse of a stack of documents beside his right elbow, and on the blue leather cover were written two bold words: Du Song!

Yes, find Du Song!He also accepted the bank card he gave him back then!He also took bribes!

The rare and clever Ji Hai immediately found Du Song, and repeated what Zheng He had said to threaten him, using it to threaten Du Song.

Du Song didn't show any clues, he only said that he needed time to prepare. Ji Hai has always looked down on Du Song, so he didn't doubt it, and even warned: "Don't play tricks, I have evidence of your crime. But as long as You cooperate with me to steal the information, and I promise you will get a satisfactory reward."

Du Song nodded: "I see."

Looking back, he told Lin Chengjian the whole story. At that time, he was on the video call, and the opposite was Sheng Ming'an and Chen Jingqiu who had returned to HKUST.

Sheng Ming'an couldn't believe it: "Chen Tianhe and the others haven't found out that Ji Hai is an idiot? Is this how Ji Hai directly threatened Du Song?"

Is this theft of trade secrets? What a trifling matter?

Chen Jingqiu coughed twice to remind him: "Ji Hai is the deputy director of the R&D department. If he has real materials, participated in the R&D process, and was really instigated, then our core technology may have been leaked? .and,"

After a pause, he smiled, and there was a bit of contempt and sarcasm in his eyes, "When I entered Blue River Technology, I made drastic moves immediately? After a little inquiring, I found out that projects that make money and people who are just waiting to die are cut off. Up to the ceo, down to the head of the research and development department, it was updated and replaced, but Ji Hai was the only one left."

"Ji Hai can stay in my hands and continue to hold such an important position as the deputy director of the R&D department. It is a matter of course that he is an outstanding talent."

Chen Jingqiu always had a gentle smile on his lips, as if he was just chatting with everyone.

It's just that the last sentence inadvertently reveals that he seems to have done it on purpose. Think about it before Blue River Technology got into the fight with Hongxin. Ji Hai, who has no skills and is a relative of the former CEO, is very weird in the first place.

But at that time, they all thought that Chen Jingqiu stayed with Ji Hai to stabilize people's hearts. After all, he just took over the position, and his actions were too big. Cooking, that's why I left one? The waste will be kicked away after it stabilizes.

However, Lin Chengjian and Du Song now found that the truth was not what they had guessed. Perhaps Chen Jingqiu had anticipated the occurrence of such a situation as a commercial espionage.

——Mr. Chen is young, with a deep mind, and his kung fu of calculating people is the same as that of a thousand-year-old demon.

Lin Chengjian and Du Song thought at the same time, not to offend Mr. Chen.

Sheng Mingan turned his face to the side? Looking at Chen Jingqiu.

The latter's heart tightened, fearing that his image would become even worse with Sheng Ming'an.

So he pondered for two or three seconds, and re-explained: "The main reason is that Chen Tianhe is conceited and doesn't bother to understand the fields he is not good at. He looks down on? Me, Zheng He? Ji Hai, Ji Hai? Du Song, they They all think that they are smart people playing tricks and tricks, while the masses are idiots. That's how they are fooled."

Chen Jingqiu explained to the right position, Sheng Mingan listened and nodded.

Chen Tianhe and the others are conceited and arrogant on the one hand, and I am afraid that Chen Jingqiu deliberately calculated it.

Sheng Ming'an thought about it loosely, Chen Jingqiu thought he believed it, and felt relieved.

Lin Chengjian: "So, should we call the police?"

"Let them steal it." Chen Jingqiu relaxed, with a half-smile, and said lightly, "Tell Secretary Cao."

Lin Chengjian: "Understood."

Du Song also knew what to do.
