Chapter 682 14-Nanometer Process Technology Lithography Machine

Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, research base center.

conference room.

Ding Yue convened his best group of teachers and students of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to hold a meeting here, and he will discuss and decide on showing the strength of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences in semiconductor research.

At the same time, it is also to solve the problem of the shortage of chips for new energy vehicles in the future.

"Principal Ding, the phone number of President Wang of Guoxin Technology Group."

Just when Ding Yue was about to hold a meeting, secretary Wen Ruohan suddenly came to his side, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

After Ding Yue heard the words, he nodded slightly, and then said to everyone in the conference room, "Wait a moment, big guy, I'll take a call here."

After all, it was the call from President Wang Liwu of Guoxin Technology Group, which may be of great importance, so Ding Yue decided to hold the meeting after answering the call first.

After that, Ding Yue took the phone from secretary Wen Ruohan's hand, then turned around and walked out of the conference room, choosing to answer the phone in the corridor.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, I'm Ding Yue."

"Principal Ding, congratulations, you leap forward, the wave of new energy vehicles in the future can be said to have created a miracle in the history of automobiles."

On the phone, Wang Liwu smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, but I can't be happy now, Mr. Wang, you should understand what I mean?" Ding Yue said calmly.

"Chip problem?"

Wang Liwu basically didn't need to guess, he made the call himself to talk about this matter.

"At present, we only have an order of 200,000 chips in NationalCore Technology Group, which is far from enough." Ding Yue said with emotion.

"Principal Ding, I really can't do anything about this matter. The last time the board of directors agreed to these 200,000 chips, it was not easy. Later, we also paid Penguin Motor Group a lot of liquidated damages."

Wang Liwu said he could do nothing.

After all, there are countless companies that need chips, and orders are already lined up for next year.

"Do not,

In this matter, you have to help from Guoxin Technology Group. "Ding Yue said suddenly and seriously.

"Ah? President Ding, what can our Guoxin Technology Group do to help you?"

When Wang Liwu heard the words, he was a little stunned.

What Guoxin Technology Group can do is to manufacture chips, but now the production capacity has reached its peak. To put it bluntly, all equipment has turned on the production mode at full power, and it can no longer provide chips for Ding Yue.

Could it be like the last time Penguin Auto Group defaulted?

This is obviously impossible, because Guoxin Technology Group cannot offend or give up the business of other large manufacturers just for Feiyue Group.

"If we can provide you with lithography machines and other equipment, can NationalCore Technology Group be able to produce chips for us?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile.

"what?"

When Wang Liwu heard this, he was even more stunned.

But not completely dumbfounded, but surprised, very shocked.

"Didn't I say it last time, we have a lithography machine experimental project at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. At present, the project has achieved certain results. Maybe we can independently develop and manufacture lithography machines and other equipment."

Ding Yue said confidently.

As long as it is not a lithography machine with a 7nm or 5nm process technology, such as a lithography machine with a 28nm or 14nm level process technology, Ding Yue is still very confident.

"Principal Ding, are you serious?"

Wang Liwu felt incredible.

This Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is really unusual. Even the lithography machine can be independently developed and manufactured?

"certainly."

Ding Yue replied.

"Principal Nading, what level of process technology is it, is it 32 nanometers? But now the competitiveness of 32 nanometers in the market is not very strong."

Wang Liwu asked again.

The process technology of the lithography machine is closely related to the chip level. For example, a 32-nanometer level chip needs a lithography machine with a 32-nanometer level process technology to produce.

The lower the nanometer level, the higher the difficulty of chip production technology or lithography machine.

At present, the advanced chip technology abroad has reached the 7-nanometer level and has been widely commercialized. The 5-nanometer level can also be produced, and the technology is even relatively mature.

Domestically, taking Guoxin Technology Group as an example, the current mainstream chips and orders are still at the 14-nanometer level. Although the 7-nanometer level can also be produced, the number of orders is obviously lower than that of the 14-nanometer level.

Because 14-nanometer chips can be applied to many fields, such as CPUs of computers and mobile phones, and other electronic smart devices.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, it's not a 32-nanometer-level process technology."

Ding Yue replied with a smile.

"That? Is it 28 nanometers?"

"Neither!"

Ding Yue stopped playing nonsense with President Wang, and said directly: "Let's talk about it, President Wang, our lithography machine experimental project at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences should currently have a lithography machine that can develop and manufacture a 14-nanometer-level process technology. "

"What! 14 nanometers!"

After Wang Liwu heard the words, he was instantly shocked!

Chip technology is already difficult enough. Many domestic technology companies and technology research institutions have spent many years of hard work and invested a lot of money to develop their own domestic chips, such as 14 nanometers, 7 nanometers, or even 5-nanometer chips are already being worked on.

But with a lithography machine, it's not that easy.

Because the R&D chip technology is different from the lithography machine, the lithography machine is a very compact and complex machine, and the lower the nanoscale of the chip, the higher the precision for the lithography machine, such a high-precision mechanical technology , So far, no technology company in China can handle it.

Even national-level research institutions cannot do it.

However, President Ding said that their lithography machine experimental project of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences can do it.

"Principal Ding, we are also old friends, you don't want to joke with me!" Wang Liwu said in disbelief.

"Mr. Wang, I also treat you as a friend, so of course I won't be able to deal with it. To be specific, I need to hold a meeting to confirm it later, or I'll give you news later?"

Ding Yue said with a calm smile.

"Okay, Principal Ding, hurry up and confirm, if...if it really works, it will be a great moment for our domestic lithography machine!"

Wang Liwu said very excitedly.

You must know that many of the lithography machines and etching machine equipment of Guoxin Technology Group were originally purchased from abroad. It is difficult to get a lithography machine.

Without machinery and equipment, what will be used to produce chips?

It is precisely because of this that Xia Guo is now facing a very difficult crisis of core shortage!

"Okay, then you wait for my message."

After Ding Yue finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Ding Yue returned to the conference room.

Looking around the entire conference room, Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, Luo Peng, Subeilin, Xu Bin, Yang Jie, Ding Xiaoyou, and a group of some of the most powerful figures in their own Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, all gathered here.

"Everyone, sit down, we're going to have a meeting."

After Ding Yue came to his seat in the conference room and sat down, he said to everyone: "Everyone of you here is the elite of the most elites of our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, the ace of the trump cards, everyone gathers together, for the sake of the light The cutting machine experiment project is working hard, and I have seen all the hard work and hard work over the years."

Everyone is quiet.

"Okay, I'll just tell the truth."

Ding Yue began to get serious and continued: "Everyone knows that our Feiyue Future new energy vehicle pre-sale was very successful, and now the auto factory is about to be completed, and the mass production plan is about to be officially launched, but we are in China. Chip Technology Group only has orders for 200,000 chips, but we have already pre-sold close to one million Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles."

"In that case, we still have a huge gap in chip demand."

Teacher Luo Peng said.

"Principal Ding, do you mean..." Tong Yihang seemed to understand what Principal Ding meant.

If there is a shortage of chips, then you need to build chips, and if you want to build chips, you will naturally need the extremely critical lithography machine.

"That's right."

Ding Yue nodded immediately and said with a serious face: "Our school has developed the lithography machine experimental project for so many years and invested so much money. I think you all know what you can do, right? "

"Principal Ding, let me summarize."

Mr. Luo Peng, as the main person in charge of the lithography machine experimental project and the most authoritative person, stood up and said.

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

Ding Yue immediately motioned to Teacher Luo Peng to sit down and speak.

Luo Peng nodded slightly, and after sitting down, he said, "President Ding, we are currently working hard to develop a lithography machine with a 5-nanometer-level process technology, as well as the exploration of a 3-nanometer-level process technology. If it is a 7-nanometer-level process technology, we will I have mastered it too, but I think it is not very mature. We can already master the application technology of the 14-nanometer process technology lithography machine and manufacture the lithography machine with the 14-nanometer process technology. I don’t think it is a problem.”

"Very well, so we can build a 14nm process lithography machine?"

After hearing the words, Ding Yue asked very satisfied.

"Yes!"

Teacher Luo Peng's answer is very positive.

"The lithography machine with the 14-nanometer process technology is not challenging, but the 5-nanometer and 3-nanometer are more challenging, hahahaha."

At this time, Ding Xiaoyou said with a smile.

Although Ding Xiaoyou is only one of the participants in the lithography machine experimental project, Ding Xiaoyou is very clear that his team is very strong, and everyone is a genius, conquering the 5-nanometer or even 3-nanometer process technology Lithography machine and chip, that is a matter of time.

"That's good, it's enough for our leap forward new energy vehicles to use 14-nanometer chips, but we don't have much time, so we need to work closely with NationalChip Technology Group."

Ding Yue nodded.

At this time, if you build a factory to manufacture lithography machines and then manufacture chips, it will take a long time.

too late.

Moreover, although 14-nanometer chips are the mainstream chips for many electrical appliances, in a few years, 7-nanometer chips, or even the latest 5-nanometer chips, will become the new mainstream. Large-scale use of 7-nanometer chips.

Such as fruit mobile phone!

Therefore, Ding Yue does not plan to open his own 14-nanometer chip factory for the time being, which is strongly supported by Nationalchip Technology Group.

If he wants to lay out the semiconductor industry, Ding Yue is ready to take the high-end route. In this way, he will have the strength to compete with foreign companies.

For example, the Almes Group, which is very good at making lithography machines, and the Shima Semiconductor Group, which is very powerful in making chips, etc.!

In addition, if you do it yourself now, it will be too late to supply Feiyue and future new energy vehicles, so Ding Yue will prepare a 14nm-level process lithography machine and cooperate with National Core Technology Group.

"I agree with that."

In the conference room, An Yujia took the lead in supporting Principal Ding's idea.

"Well, that's a way."

Xu Bin also nodded and said: "We provide the technology of the 14nm process lithography machine, and NationalCore Technology Group provides manpower, material resources and even funds. In this way, the domestic 14nm process process lithography can be quickly realized. The machine is in production.”

When you think about this matter, you know that you should cooperate with Nationalchip Technology Group first.

Because of the lithography machine, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Group are still in the research stage, and it is not so simple to lay them out.

At the beginning, it took almost a year to establish the graphene industry, and now the new energy automobile industry, the automobile factory has just been completed, if the 14nm process technology lithography machine industry is established, it will take another At least a year and a half.

But the delivery of Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles cannot wait for a year and a half.

"Okay, then it's decided. We will use the 14nm process lithography machine technology to work closely with NationalChip Technology Group. In the future, we will lay out the high-end chip field. Mr. An, you have to start working on this one. get ready. "

Seeing that everyone agreed, Ding Yue looked at An Yu Jia An and ordered.

"Okay Principal Ding."

An Yujia nodded immediately after hearing this.

"In terms of specific arrangements, Mr. Luo Peng, according to the specific situation, divides our team into two groups, one group is responsible for the production and manufacture of 14nm process lithography machines with Guoxin Technology Group, and the other group is responsible for the production and manufacture of lithography machines. It is possible to continue to research our 5-nanometer level, and strive to make our domestic high-end chips as soon as possible, do you think there is pressure to be divided into two groups?"

Ding Yue made some arrangements, and then asked Teacher Luo Peng.

"I think the pressure is not too big. After all, we have matured the manufacture of lithography machines with 14nm process technology. After I go back, I will make corresponding arrangements according to what you said, Principal Ding."

Luo Peng thought for a while and answered seriously.

Because Luo Peng also felt that the method of dividing the troops into two paths as mentioned by Principal Ding would indeed be more efficient.
