Chapter 875 The Pursuit of Advanced Chip Technology

Ludao, Optical Core Industrial Park, T1 Super Factory. "Is it something about Samsung?" "Yes," Liang Yiqing, who accompanied Chen Hao during the inspection, asked puzzledly: "I just don't understand why the principal wants to cooperate with Samsung?" Speaking of Samsung, Liang Yiqing's eyes were a little complicated. In February 2009, Liang Yiqing left TSMC, where he had worked for 17 years. In this period of being hit hard and frustrated, Liang Yiqing was shaken by Samsung, which he had invited for several years. So Liang Yiqing took his family to South Korea to teach at a university. But in fact, he was invited by Samsung. Because there was a non-competition agreement with TSMC at the time, he could only use a professor from Sungkyunkwan University to cover up. The place where Liang Yiqing actually teaches is the Samsung Semiconductor Institute of Technology, a corporate training university within the Samsung Group. The students taught by Liang Mengsong are all senior semiconductor senior engineers of Samsung Group. Two months after the end of the non-compete agreement in 2011, Liang Yiqing announced that he would join Samsung. As soon as he came to power, he stopped the research and development of the 20nm process that had not kept up with the times. He directly jumped from 28nm to the 14nm process and completed the three-generation and four-level processes at once. Process iteration. Finally in 2014, Samsung's 14nm process was the first to successfully mass-produce. In August 2015, TSMC won the lawsuit, and Liang Yiqing had no choice but to obey the verdict and leave Samsung. Joined SMIC in 2017. Join Guanghua Electric Power Collection in 2021. He changed jobs four times in his life, each time causing shock in the industry. He has stayed at Samsung for six years, which is neither long nor short. He still has some impressions of Samsung Semiconductor in his memory. As the head of a chip manufacturing company, he is naturally willing to sell optical cores to Samsung. But from a national and national standpoint, he does not want to cooperate with Samsung. "A dead camel is bigger than a horse," Chen Hao smiled and added: "And if Samsung wants to cooperate with us, the price they need to pay will not be small." "As long as they can't make an optical core, then Samsung will "You have to listen to us." "An obedient Samsung is more valuable than a crazy Samsung." Samsung Electronics is the most important part of the Samsung Group, just like Huaxing, but it doesn't mean that it can't survive without its mobile phone business, it just won't survive. Better off. Tying Samsung and Apple onto the warship will also be of great use to China. After all, these two are giant companies that can influence local country decision-making. Liang Yiqing looked at the confident Chen Hao and couldn't help but be infected. "The principal should urge Professor Ren to ensure that I have perfect control over chip manufacturing, but the subsequent product iterations of Optical Core will depend on the Optical Core Research Center." There are too many technical problems involved in chip manufacturing, and there is no such thing in the world. Several people dare to guarantee "foolproof", but Liang Yiqing is different. This is a natural chip wizard, a man who can continue to create miracles and make TSMC, Samsung, and Huaxin International both loved and hated. "I believe in Professor Ren, just like I believe in you, Dr. Liang." Chen Hao looked seriously at Liang Yiqing, the several engineers beside him, and the thousands of busy workers in the super factory. In front of the big machine called a chip, everyone seems to be a part of it. Some people have become bearings, some people have turned into screws, and some people have been engines. They are all devoting their energy and life to the chip. "Optical core is a great project. A great project cannot be achieved by just one person, but by the hard work of Dr. Liang, Professor Ren, thousands of engineers, researchers, and tens of thousands of workers day and night. "I am just one of them." China has become the world's second largest economy in just thirty years because of the perseverance and dedicated research of these people with faith and ideals. the spirit of. Liang Yiqing was slightly moved when he heard this. What really moved him and made him come here was his passion for technology, his pursuit of advanced chip technology, and his ambition to realize his ideals. Judging from his experience at TSMC, Samsung, and then Huaxin International, what he has always sought is not money and position, but the leadership of the most advanced high-end chip development projects. At Guanghua Jiedian, he gained true dominance for the first time. When he met such a chairman who was willing to delegate power but also understood them and gave them strong support, his feelings were summed up in an old saying: If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman. \bNot only Liang Yiqing, but also several other accompanying executives of Guanghua Electric were also worried. \bIn their hearts, they felt more and more that the right choice for them was to join Guanghua. The next day, it was around 9 o'clock in the morning. A bus with the name "Guanghua University School Bus" on it drove from Gaoqi International Airport to Guanghua University. Li Yurun was sitting in the front row of the bus, by the window. Through the window, he looked out at the cityscape in retreat, and fell into a trance. He graduated from Seoul National University, South Korea's top university in the sky. Before graduating from university, he had already joined Samsung and became the main backbone of Samsung Semiconductor's technology development when it was first established. Later, because of his talent, he was constantly reused. From engineer to production manager, head of R&D department, and now CEO of Samsung Electronics, he has experienced too much. Samsung is a great company. Needless to say, its status in South Korea remains the same even in the world. But now, he has to lower his head and go to China to discuss cooperation. To put it harshly, it is a beg for cooperation. Thinking about this, Li Yurun felt terrible. Why have Samsung been so humble? What a shame! But if you do this, the future future of Samsung Electronics will be slim. "Alas." Li Yurun sighed heavily. Twenty minutes later. "Chi-" The bus stopped in front of a majestic building with a very scientific feel. "Everyone, the Optical Core Research Center has arrived, you can get off the car.

"A young man wearing a shirt, trousers, and a work permit finished speaking in Korean and got off the bus first. Feeling the looks from beside him, Li Yurun sighed secretly, and followed the staff to get off the bus. South Korea, like Neon Country, has a strict hierarchy within the company. These engineers and others were not allowed to walk in front of Li Yurun before the boss got off the car. But as soon as Li Yurun got off the car, his eyes glanced towards the door, and he felt in his heart " "Ding". As expected, Dr. Liang is here too! Samsung Semiconductor's current impressive status is inseparable from the years when Dr. Liang was in charge of the semiconductor business at Samsung. Not only Li Yurun, but also many senior engineers and chip engineers who got off the job later. The technical experts looked a bit unnatural. After all, most of them had listened to Dr. Liang’s teachings at Samsung Semiconductor Institute of Technology before the non-competition agreement was over. In a sense, Dr. Liang was also them. Teacher. Thinking about Dr. Liang's current achievements, I have to sigh. Dr. Liang is always at the forefront of chips. It's just a slightly awkward scene. ps: I should be able to write two chapters tomorrow afternoon. The factory is holding a new product launch conference, so I can write the second chapter at the same time as the launch conference. ------- Off-topic --- My health has improved recently, but my sore throat has worsened, and I have a bit of a cough. The lockdown was scheduled to be lifted for another three days yesterday, ending at 24:00 on the 7th. Oh, I’m so tired. In addition, I was diagnosed with dry eye syndrome when I saw a doctor on the 1st. I’ve been suffering from severe eye pain and headache for the past few days. I took ibuprofen to relieve the pain. It was because of eye pain and headache that I didn’t update for the past two days. It was really bad. Finally, there was an earthquake in Chengdu at noon, with a magnitude of about 3.8. , I live on the 27th floor, it’s so scary, the whole house is shaking, the water glass fell to the ground, this is the first time for a foreigner to experience this in Chengdu, my legs are so scared! oo.
