Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

When conducting analytical derivation of SS1MB radiation theory and cooperating with engineers in the semiconductor department to start developing relevant numerical programs, Gu Qing also asked Li You to supervise relevant departments to build the largest optical research platform in Daxia, for no other reason than to cultivate Optical talent.

From the perspective of practitioners in other semiconductor-related industries, photolithography is the most complex and critical process step in integrated circuit chip manufacturing. After all, photolithography machines require light source equipment, lighting equipment, projection objectives, machinery and control systems. Each Each generation of technology change requires reducing the wavelength of the light source, reducing the process factor, and increasing the numerical aperture of the objective lens.

For more than half a century, the wavelength of lithography machine light sources has gradually evolved from the initial visible light to 13.5 nm extreme ultraviolet lithography and the smaller SS1MB light source.

Currently, the only EUV lithography machine supplier in the world is still the Dutch ASML company, but this company is no longer the most powerful lithography machine supplier in the world.

The lithography machine of Pudong Microelectronics is equipped with the SS1MB light source of Jiuzhou Technology and the photoresist and polishing process specially developed by Jiuzhou Technology. Now Pudong Microelectronics is the world's top lithography machine supplier.

Therefore, when Pudong Microelectronics learned that Jiuzhou Technology wanted to upgrade its light source and needed money and resources, it immediately mobilized its capital backers.

As one of the core cities of global finance, Pudong's urban capital has always been very wealthy.

Initially, Pudong City’s investment capital was very greedy when watching Jiuzhou Technology’s venture in the aerospace field, but did not dare to actually invest large sums of money to follow the investment. Moreover, Jiuzhou Technology has not opened up investment channels for external capital, so there is no I took the initiative to give money.

But this time when there was an opportunity, Pudong City Investment Capital immediately "generously donated" and allocated 20 billion in semiconductor development funds to Jiuzhou Technology.

There are not many requirements, I simply want Jiuzhou Technology to implement more projects and projects in Pudong.

It was originally planned to support the Blue Star Second Center of Jiuzhou Technology among the Qingpu office R\u0026D centers. With the help of Pudong City Investment Capital, Gu Qing also cooperated very cooperatively and moved part of the project to Qingpu.

“The research project of SS1MB light source with high average power, narrow bandwidth, high collimation, high stability of continuous wave output, clean radiation, and strong scalability is settled in Qingpu, which will bring new development vitality to the entire Pudong City. "

On December 1, 1025 in the Yin calendar, at the 1025 Daxia Integrated Circuit Summit, Li You, director of the semiconductor department of Jiuzhou Technology, told the summit guests that the Jiuzhou Semiconductor 2.0 plan would be implemented in the new year.

“The production capacity of the 8-inch line of the semiconductor factory we cooperate with Chengdu Urban Investment Company has reached 120,000 pieces, the production capacity of the 12-inch line has reached 30,000 pieces, and the production capacity of the 18-inch line has exceeded 20,000 pieces.

In 1026, the production capacity of 12-inch lines will reach 50,000 pieces, and the production capacity of 18-inch lines will break through to 40,000 pieces.

Chengdu Semiconductor is our major semiconductor and integrated circuit industry hub, occupying three-fifths of the world's high-end production capacity.

As the global information technology industry and semiconductor industry enter a period of adjustment and transition, we, Jiuzhou Technology Semiconductor, will closely focus on the overall strategic deployment of the Daxia Government, accelerate the upgrading of outstanding shortcomings in the design, manufacturing and other chains, and rely on market advantages to improve industrial security.

Therefore, Jiuzhou Technology will focus on developing the semiconductor industry in Dongguang Pengcheng and Pudong Qingpu, and strive to achieve the world's largest share of silicon-based chips, carbon-based chips, and quantum chips! "

This is the first time that Jiuzhou Technology’s senior management has spoken out in public about its development plans and technological ambitions.

Some media reporters even said in a very spoof: "This is a death knell for technology companies such as Intel and IBM that have been developing quantum chips."

Ten years ago, European semiconductors were developing rapidly in the fields of EDA, automotive-grade chips, and industrial-grade chips. However, ten years later, these fields were beaten to the ground by Daxia's semiconductor companies.

Companies such as Texas Instruments, General Motors, and American Semiconductor were once the strongest semiconductor companies in the United States. They were unrivaled in the fields of EDA, high-end chip design, manufacturing processes, and equipment.

But now, they can only succumb to Daxia Semiconductor and Korea Hansung Semiconductor and become the third batch of team players.

It was at this summit that people were surprised to find that the once famous Neon Island semiconductor company seemed to have disappeared. In many project discussions, not even a word of Neon was heard.

Gu Qing was watching Li You's speech in the office, but the screen in front of him was densely packed with "transcripts."

Since he went to the semiconductor department, Kyushu Semiconductor has begun a new round of take-off, and this time it is very different from the previous cooperation model.

In the past, Jiuzhou Technology developed technology and then found semiconductor companies with Xia Zi background to cooperate. Both parties held shares, but in terms of technical solutions, Jiuzhou Technology must take the lead.

As for the current Jiuzhou Semiconductor 2.0 industrial upgrade, those semiconductor companies that have cooperated with it have not had time to increase their capital. Urban investment companies in various regions of Daxia have already rushed into the market waving banknotes.

For a time, the number of 120 million seemed like "embarrassing" and could not be spoken. Only when it reached one billion could one be able to speak normally.

The content on the screen in front of Gu Qing is the list of banknotes waved by urban investment companies with Xia Zi background during this period.

"In 2021, the total revenue of the integrated circuit industry in the three cities represented by Pengcheng City in Dongguang Province was only 197.2 billion yuan. Last year, their revenue rose to 300 billion yuan. No wonder they dare not directly invest 25 billion yuan. Come down."

Faced with Gu Qing's emotion, Xuanwu was very sensible and listed a group of companies on the cooperation list in Dongguang.

Among them, there are 200 chip design companies and only ten semiconductor material manufacturing companies, accounting for a pitifully small proportion.

Seeing this list, Gu Qing felt even more sad. "In doing so, they are still subtracting. The most troublesome things are all left to our cooperation and self-production. Of course, the design is simple, but it is difficult for a clever woman to do something without rice. It seems that they still believe in us too much."

After many years of cooperation with Daxia officials, Gu Qing has now become an "old fritter", maintaining a pessimistic attitude but working actively.

That's why Li You went on a business trip to attend the summit in order to "make money" and "make friends."

And now, Jiuzhou Technology relied on this trip to make friends and obtain a small amount of hundreds of billions of funds.

In the eyes of other companies, this is simply a fantasy, and they even dare not think about it.
