Chapter 709: The Hope of China's Lithography Machine

"There are some big guys in asml ahead."

"This is from Texas Instruments."

"And Philips."

"As for the one on the left...you recognize Mr. Zhang from TSMC."

As soon as he entered the seminar site, Zhang Rujing introduced a group of bigwigs in the chip field to Chen Yu.

At this time, Zhang Rujing was probably also seen, but Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC came over slowly.

"Little friend Chen Yu, stay safe."

Zhang Zhongmou first greeted Chen Yu, and then looked at Zhang Rujing: "Rujing, you are here too."

"Mr. Zhang, how could I not come to such a global conference."

Although Zhang Rujing was tricked by Zhang Zhongmou, he was introverted and always good at hiding the front.

He knew that even if he broke up with Zhang Zhongmou, it wouldn't do him any good.

"Hehe, I knew you would come."

Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile: "Ru Jing, you have found a good collaborator. Your Tianwen chips are very good. However, I think the current production capacity of the center may not keep up with the market demand."

"This is not something President Zhang should worry about."

It's just that although Zhang Rujing answered like this, Zhang Zhongmou looked at Chen Yu: "I think little friend Chen Yu should have his own judgment."

obviously.

It doesn't matter whether Zhang Rujing refuses or not.

What matters is Chen Yu's attitude.

Center International is just a foundry, and it manufactures chips for others.

That is to say, the chips produced are from Huanyu Technology.

How many orders Huanyu Technology places for the center, how many chips the center can produce.

If the international production capacity of the center is not enough, it is entirely possible for Universal Technology to place some orders to TSMC.

"What Mr. Zhang said is, I will consider it."

Chen Yu did not refuse, nor did he agree.

But Zhang Zhongmou was extremely satisfied with this answer.

"Chen Yu, don't be fooled by Zhang Zhongmou."

When Zhang Zhongmou left, Zhang Rujing said with some displeasure.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we are allies."

Chen Yu used his eyes to signal Zhang Rujing to relax: "However, sometimes, it's not that we can't trick him."

After being calculated by Zhang Zhongmou, Chen Yuke was always upset.

It is not Chen Yu's character to have revenge without retribution.

"Oh, Chen Yu, you are quite vengeful."

"I'm not a saint, so I must hold revenge."

Chen Yu said: "Last time you were tricked, but it was actually because of me. Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed."

"Don't mention the past. It's not your fault at all. If you want to blame, it's our weak strength."

At this point, both of them were silent.

How can they not want to revitalize the domestic chip industry when they participate in this global chip development conference.

It's just that both of them know that although they have incomparable ambitions, the road ahead is extremely bumpy.

"Okay, don't talk about this, listen to what they have to say first."

Pointing to the front, Zhang Rujing said: "This is the chief technology officer of Philips. Their chip technology is very powerful. The asml of the year was actually split from Philips."

Chen Yu nodded and listened carefully.

But unfortunately, Chen Yu is not very good at technology.

In addition, although Chen Yu's English is OK, but when it comes to such professional terms, Chen Yu's head is too big to hear.

Sure enough, I knew from the beginning that it was the same as not coming.

Even if he came, he still couldn't understand.

However, Zhang Rujing, who was on the side, clapped his hands from time to time. Seeing that Chen Yu had nothing to do, he asked, "How do you feel?"

"no feelings."

"Why don't you feel it?"

"Can't understand."

"This is also, the technology may be too complicated. After all, you are not a professional chip maker."

"Mainly because I couldn't understand what he was saying in English."

"puff……"

Zhang Rujing was stunned.

But that too.

With such professional knowledge, let alone English, even if the English is very good, it feels like a scripture.

However, since he came, Chen Yu didn't leave early, although he didn't understand a little.

"Is this the tech giant from Canon in Japan?"

As the speeches of the great tech leaders came to an end, at this time, Chen Yu saw an Asian with yellow skin and dark eyes walking on the podium.

"No, he is a Vietnamese Chinese, his name is Lin Benjian, and his ancestors seem to be Hakka people. TSMC's technology is great, and he has a lot of research in the lithography machine."

"Oh."

Chen Yu nodded.

Isn't the purpose of his coming here to listen to the seminar this time just for the lithography machine?

He originally thought that as long as the lithography machine was involved, it was either the Netherlands, Germany, or Japan.

Unexpectedly, there is still a Chinese leader in the field of lithography.

This time, he had to listen carefully.

But a pity.

Although Lin Benjian can speak Chinese, at such a global seminar, the speech is still in English.

As before, Chen Yu also felt that he was listening to the scriptures.

After listening for a while, Chen Yu only heard dry, wet or something.

"Mr. Zhang, what does Lin Benjian mean by dry and wet?"

"It's talking about a technical process for producing lithography machines. At present, most of us generally use dry lithography machine production processes. That is, air is used as the medium between the lens and the wafer, so that the patterns on the mask can be Imaging on wafers. However, this Lin Benjian felt that a wet process could also be used.”

"What is wet?"

"The name of the wet type he mentioned is called immersion type, which is similar to the wet type. But the medium used is different. We generally use air now, and Lin Benjian proposed water as the immersion medium."

"water?"

Hearing the word water, Chen Yu and Chen Yu were a little excited.

Remember the previous life, in fact, at the beginning, the strength of the Dutch aslm and Germany, and the Japanese lithography machine companies were similar.

Why aslm is dominating the world later is completely related to the route chosen by these lithography machine companies.

At that time, some lithography machine companies such as Japan, Germany, and the United States chose the wrong route.

However, aslm has spent a lot of money to develop another lithography machine production process.

This process involves water, which is the immersion type that Lin Benjian is now referring to.

"Do you think his craft has a future?"

Chen Yu does not understand technology very well, but he knows that this is the moment that determines the fate of future lithography machines.

After 2008 in the previous life, more than 90% of the chips produced in the world used the wet lithography process proposed by Lin Benjian. Moreover, it is precisely because Lin Benjian proposed this wet process that the chip has been made from 190 nanometers to 130 nanometers, 90 nanometers, 65 nanometers, 40 nanometers, 28 nanometers, 20 nanometers, 16 nanometers, 10 nanometers, 7 nanometers nanometers, and 5 nanometers. Even the most cutting-edge 3 nanometers use Lin Benkan's wet lithography technology.

"This, I'm not sure, it is theoretically possible, but there are still a series of problems to be solved. For example, will the water produce bubbles, will the water pollute the equipment, how to waterproof it, and how will the water heat up? Expansion, the index of refraction will change, how can this be solved..."

Zhang Rujing told Chen Yu about the problems faced by this wet lithography process.

However, at this time, Chen Yu's eyes were already fixed on Lin Benjian.

he knows.

None of these problems will be a problem for years to come.

If you catch this Lin Benjian, then there is hope for the Chinese lithography machine.
