Chapter 654: Laboratory Skeleton
Zhang Ke didn't join the middle-aged and elderly teams like Tao Jin, Li Yuanhu, Ge Jiande, Yi Yunfei, Luo Jun, and Xiao Mingjian to pick up Guo Songyan, Liu Zhicheng, and Sun Shangyi. He counted the time and planned to ride a bicycle to meet Tan Yunsong and his wife .
Arriving with Tan Yunsong in Jianye, there are also four engineers invited by him from Singapore, Malaysia and other places as the basic laboratory of microelectronics technology. They are all elites who have made achievements in the field of microelectronics technology research. Recruited Chinese scientists and engineers. Novel chapters are updated the fastest
Since Tan Yunsong was appointed as the chief scientist of the basic laboratory of microelectronics technology, he had to be entrusted with the right to form a scientific research team. As long as he was a candidate approved by Tan Yunsong, he only had to go through the form of employment in Kumho and Oak Park. Of course, Tan Yunsong also fully consulted Kumho's opinions, especially Dong, who has a deep understanding of the field of microelectronics technology research in Asia.
These people are the backbone of the future Kumho technology research system, and they are needed to support the bones of the Oak Park project. Zhang Ke will not hesitate to show his face.
The time was urgent, and Tan Yunsong was given less than 20 days. However, Tan Yunsong's extensive and deep network in the field played a huge role. These four people are still candidates for the batch, and there are seven or eight people who have to wait until the end. The work entrusted by the employer may continue to Jianye to take up the job. ^^^^ "Fiction" novel chapters are updated the fastest
There is Tan Yunsong, and there are more than a dozen senior researchers recruited by Tan Yunsong from Southeast Asia. Kumho has also cultivated a group of technical backbones in recent years, and dispatched a group of people to serve as assistants to these senior researchers. Colleges and universities such as Dongda University have tried to implement the postgraduate training mechanism of double tutors. Each senior researcher is assigned two assistants and two to four graduate students, which can almost support the framework of the microelectronics biotechnology laboratory.
It can take two to three years for the laboratory's technical team to mature initially.
The main reconstruction project of Oak Park’s second Pioneering Park has also come to an end; in order to distinguish the second Pioneering Park that has been rebuilt to the end in the east, internal personnel usually call it Lifeng Garden, and the Pioneering Park in the east is called Yanshui Garden. Before riding to Lifeng Garden, I just caught up with Zhao Peng and Zhao Zilin leading Tan Yunsong and his wife and a few people who looked like overseas Chinese engineers out of Lifeng Garden.
"Where is this going?" Zhang Shuan asked Zhao Peng and the others in a supportive manner. Before Zhang Ke came over, he didn't say hello to them, and came here by himself.
"Teacher Tan said that he wanted to go to Yanshui Garden to take a look first..." Zhao Peng ran over to pick up Zhang Ke's bicycle. Zhang Ke couldn't let Zhang Ke push his bicycle and follow them to Yanshui Garden.
The laboratories are all newly built buildings, and it is quite good to finish the main project before October. It will take some time before it is actually built and the infrastructure is installed. Although the examination and approval of venture capital projects was stepped up in October, only eight projects passed the examination and approval in October.
It will take quite a while to fill up the Lifeng Garden; after the Yanshui Garden is completed, the preparatory office of the Oak Garden will be moved there first, and Tan Yunsong and others will first recruit local scientists and engineers, and they will first place their work places in the Yanshui Garden Here, after the basic laboratory is completed. Then move it out for subsequent start-ups to settle in.
Tan Yunsong introduced to Zhang Mi the Chinese engineer who followed him to Jianye to participate in the Oak Park project, and said with a smile: "Back to Singapore, it is difficult for me to describe Ke's young achievements to them. Fortunately, Kumho has made great achievements again. There is no need for me to explain this jaw-dropping action. I have also met Liu Zhicheng a few times by fate, but I did not expect you to be dragged to Jianye...Why didn't I see Ke Shao at the airport?"
"What am I going to join in the fun?" Zhang Ke heard Tan Yunsong talk about the fab project. He smiled and said, "Dong was supposed to come to receive you today, but he rushed to Japan for me, but Su Jindong was able to come here before dinner. Don't you go to the place where you have been arranged to have a rest first?"
Dong is the overall person in charge of Kumho's entire technology research and development system.
"After sitting on the plane for five hours, I still need to exercise my legs and feet, so I should go to Yanshui Garden to see the working environment first. ^^^^" Tan Yunsong said.
Zhang Ke didn't think others were too dedicated, so he accompanied Tan Yunsong and others to visit Yanshui Garden. On the way, he also explained some details of the fab project to Tan Yunsong.
The fact that Liu Zhicheng left TSMC and went to Jianye to be responsible for the construction of a fab is the most sensational news in the industry recently. Under the current situation, it will have a certain impact on several wafer manufacturing companies in Asia. After all, there is one more potential competitors, some things do not need to be kept secret from everyone.
"We intend to introduce a 0.35-micron wafer manufacturing process, but this 0.35-micron-level integrated circuit design, except for some foundations built by Kumho in the past two years, is almost blank in China. I am looking forward to the laboratory's related After two or three years, the work is driven. A group of high-level engineers can be trained..." Zhang Ke said to Tan Yun while walking.
"I think Kumho's development in the next two or three years may feed this fab..." Tan Yunsong said.
Tan Yunsong predicts that when Jianye’s wafer fab is completed, almost all mainstream wafer fabs in the world will be replaced with 0.18 micron or even higher level technology. Jianye’s wafer fab can just meet Kumho’s low-end consumer electronics products. In recent years, the chips needed for high-end products have been entrusted to companies such as Texas Instruments as OEMs. It is undeniable that low-end consumer electronics products have huge market potential in emerging markets. This area is precisely the main direction of Kumho's attack in the next two or three years. Even if Kumho launches two mobile phones, it will still be the low-end i08 mobile phone.
Of course, Zhang Ting did not discuss with Tan Yunsong the possibility of supplying components to OEM mobile phone manufacturers. These mobile phone components will also generate a huge demand for low-end integrated circuit chips.
It seems that the technology of 0.35 microns was not considered a low-end technology in 1997.
The chip design of 0.35 micron level is almost blank in China. If there is no chip design company of this level in the domestic market, after the fab is completed, it will go to the international market to win customers, and the competition will undoubtedly be cruel.
Liu Zhicheng finally made up his mind to come over to take charge of the fab project, and he also saw Kumho's true technical strength and future market potential from the few small gifts Sun Shangyi brought him when he arrived in Taiwan. Indeed, with just an eight-inch line, Kumho may fill the fab in the next two to three years. He will undoubtedly be less stressed when he comes to Jianye to prepare for the construction of the fab project.
After the construction of the fab project is completed, Kumho's vertical production system will take a prototype, and it will take a lot of effort to make this system full^^
Unlike the well-established technology markets in Europe and the United States, the domestic electronic technology level is too far behind. If Kumho only focuses on making end products, almost all the components and parts needed for first-class products will be purchased in the international market. Tariff barriers between countries , Technical barriers, in addition to desperately squeezing the labor force of workers and reducing the cost of human resources, Kumho has almost no advantage at all with those overseas electronics industries.
This is also the key factor for Kumho to build a complete vertical production system on its own.
Zhang Ke also believes that with the passage of time, people will gradually realize that this vertical production system is shining brighter and brighter in emerging markets.
Su Jindong arrived at Jianye by car at five o'clock in the afternoon to meet with Tan Yunsong and others. Tomorrow, Ge Jiande, the deputy director of the Planning Commission, and his party will come to visit the Oak Park, and they must be received by a heavyweight. Only Su Jindong is left at home; In the Aida Group system, he is somewhat nondescript when he comes forward.
The youth apartment is hurrying up to renovate the four buildings in front of it, but it will not take a day or two until the renovation is completed. Zhang Ke asked people to rent out an annex building of Donghua Hotel on the west bank of Yangui Lake, and arranged for Liu Zhicheng and his entourage to stay - the preparatory office of the fab was also located in Yanshui Garden. They also arranged for Tan Yunsong and others to sit in Donghua Hotel temporarily. First, Tan Yunsong and others were invited to Donghua Hotel for a rest, and dinner was arranged at Donghua Hotel.
On the way to Donghua Hotel, Su Jindong talked to Zhang Ke about Kewang Hi-Tech's consideration of the supply of mobile phone accessories, and said: "We can't expand too much at once, which will have a greater impact on Kumho's entire management system. On the other hand, once we aggressively enter the mobile phone assembly and accessories supply market, it will have a considerable impact on foreign suppliers of mobile phone assembly factories. In the past two years, the tariff barriers on mobile phone assembly and accessories will provide us with a layer of protection, and also One is that the low cost of human resources is also our advantage, but once overseas mobile phone component manufacturers enter the country to build a large number of factories, these two advantages will be quickly resolved. If during this period of time, we cannot make up for the technical gap Disadvantage, competition in the later stage, will fall into a disadvantage instead. We need to make this process as long as possible to win more time. After all, it will take a while for the Oak Park plan to take effect... I think the supply of Kewang Hi-Tech The price of China should be maintained at a relatively high level, and gradually enter the mobile phone assembly and accessories supply market in a planned way."
