Chapter 138 Poaching Someone Else's Corner "Ask for a Monthly Ticket"

InTeL Company attaches great importance to the arrival of Fan Wubing and his party.

Especially when the InTeL company had a problem and was in a sensitive period when everyone was shouting, it was very inspiring to have such a powerful multinational company wishing to cooperate with us to build a factory.

The president of the company went out in person and brought more than a dozen executives to welcome Fan Wubing and others at the airport. However, when they saw Fan Wubing's entourage, they were also a little surprised. Although Xindao Fan's Investment Group was newly established, Sure enough, there are a lot of talents, even those bodyguards are not ordinary people.

Of course, using retired SEALs as bodyguards was something only Fan Wubing could do. If it was an ordinary person, I'm afraid they wouldn't have such talent, especially if it cost a lot of money.

At the beginning, Fan Wubing didn't know much about this chip packaging factory, he just thought it was just an ordinary packaging factory, outsourced InTeL's products, and then sold them, but he waited until he was accompanied by InTeL's executives. Next, after visiting a packaging factory, I realized that I was very wrong.

In fact, like Fan Wubing, the outside world's impression of chip packaging factories has always been on cpu packaging. Many people think that packaging is similar to packaging, and there is not much technical content. However, after visiting the chip factory, Fan Wubing discovered that the fact is just the opposite. The packaging and testing of the cpu is definitely not as many people imagined. The whole cpu manufacturing is divided into the front-end process program and the back-end process program. Very complex silicon technology such as silicon pulling and photolithography technology produce wafers, each wafer is covered with hundreds of chips.

The chip factories responsible for wafer manufacturing are almost all concentrated in the United States, and the other is Israel and Ireland.

Generally speaking, chip factories in Costa Rica, the Philippines, and Malaysia are mainly responsible for the packaging and testing process of the back-end, that is, through wafer reflow, film attachment, cutting, patch, welding, packaging, curing, aging test, electrical performance test, laser A series of complex procedures and technical manufacturing such as marking and multi-channel inspection in the middle finally come to a complete netbsp; the chip packaging factory that InTeL wants to build in Shanghai also needs to do this kind of work.

In the workshop of the chip factory, all the machines are closed. Some even operate in a vacuum state. Fan Wubing and his team can only wear airtight work clothes like astronauts, and watch the wafers turning around on the machine through the transparent window.

In the cpu packaging workshop, few workers were seen, and the whole workshop seemed very quiet. Only the slight buzzing sound from electronic instruments. In the wafer cutting area, Fan Wubing saw that the machine took out a finished wafer from a stack of wafers next to it, and first automatically scanned the entire disk surface. The scanning results were immediately displayed. At this moment, a worker wearing special anti-static safety clothing and special safety glasses walked over to observe the wafer surface image on the display terminal in detail.

The InTeL staff who accompanied Fan Wubing and others on the tour explained to them,

"It's a visual inspection of the wafers that are about to be diced for hazards."

After the inspection, the machine sends the wafer into the sealed operating cabin for cutting. When the wafer came out of the operating cabin, it had become individual chips. Next, the chip will undergo carrier placement, welding and packaging processes, and the machine will automatically attach the chip to the carrier. After welding, it is packaged and put into a sealed carrier, which is the cpu shell that ordinary people see. At this point, a cpu basically takes shape.

"It turns out that the cpu is made this way—" In fact, except for Fan Wubing, no one has seen this kind of thing. Although they are all using personal computers, what is inside. How it works, I really don't know anything about it.

"If we can build such a factory, it will be very interesting even if we only come to visit occasionally." Fan Wubing said to everyone with a smile.

The cpu test is another important event in the entire back-end process. Through various special testing machines, it is checked whether the performance of all aspects of the cpu meets the requirements, whether the pins on the surface are normal, and whether there is any bending phenomenon. This is checked with specialized electronic equipment.

In the burn-in test area, Fan Wubing saw that the machine automatically put the basically formed cpu into a special burn-in test chamber for high-temperature baking to test whether the cpu would appear abnormal under such harsh conditions.

"This step is directly related to how long the CPU can be used after leaving the factory." The accompanying staff introduced to everyone.

"Will high temperature baking burn out the good cpu?" asked an executive beside Fan Wubing.

The accompanying person immediately explained, "All the test procedures in the test workshop are formulated according to the normal standard that the CPU can withstand. The phenomenon of damage to cpu products occurs. Take this aging test as an example, the temperature and humidity in the test cabin are strictly controlled, and there will be no netbsp; In awe, it is really not easy to be the leader in the industry. If someone thinks that they can easily copy this technology and pass InTeL, they will be laughed out of their teeth.

Of course, after reading this, Fan Wubing can also understand why Godson has not succeeded in making it for so many years, and the so-called Hanxin is even a fake chip polished with sandpaper. The breakthrough does not rely on pure chip design technology or huge funds, but also requires a lot of underlying technology to support. This is exactly what is lacking in China. Things like castles in the air can only exist in jokes. .

In the Hanxin incident that year, Chen Jin, an engineer who was doing testing at Motorola, bought an -a1e56800 chip from the United States and hired others to remove the original logo. Then add its own Hanxin logo, transformed into the so-called Hanxin No. 1 with completely independent intellectual property rights, applied for a number of patents, and used it to become the dean, doctoral supervisor and Changjiang scholar of the ** Microelectronics College. /\

With the help of Hanxin-1, Chen Jin applied for dozens of scientific research projects. Defrauded hundreds of millions of scientific research funds.

After an insider revealed the matter, some media with a keen sense of smell quickly intervened and carried out a difficult pursuit and verification. With the joint efforts of whistleblowers and the media. The investigation team of the incident concluded that the Hanxin-1 fraud was basically true.

Due to the gap in the field of chip manufacturing and the expectations of the domestic chip industry, there is a great need for breakthroughs in the field of high-tech in China. Independent research and development of high-performance chips has always been a major dream of the domestic science and technology community.

Chen Jin took advantage of the anticipation psychology of the Chinese people, defrauded countless funds and honors, and made Hanxin No. 1, which was supposed to bring pride to the Chinese people. It became a major incident of scientific research fraud.

Thinking of this, Fan Wubing couldn't help shaking his head. Back then, the Hanxin incident was full of turmoil, but in the end it was nothing more than nothing. No one was even jailed for it, it seemed. I don't know whether the country is too lenient to counterfeiters, or the counterfeiting forces behind it are too large.

basically. Fan Wubing felt that the atmosphere in academia at that time had been completely broken. People who can do practical things will never be as prosperous as those who can fake. And the government probably can't afford to lose this face and is unwilling to expose it. short.

After visiting the factory, Fan Wubing and his party returned to InTeL headquarters and started the first meeting on building a chip packaging factory.

"Mr. Fan, to tell you the truth, our previous negotiations with Shanghai have reached a critical juncture. If it wasn't for the sudden emergence of the floating-point calculation problem, or the contract had already been signed." The president of nTeL said to Fan Wubing, "According to what we know I know, now the mainland of China has expressed great distrust of our InTeL processors, I wonder why Mr. Fan insists on cooperating with us?"

Fan Wubing also pretended to say, "I always believe that a noble person cannot be perfect, and it is not shameful to have some shortcomings. And a noble company cannot be seen by the public just because of a little flaw. Disgusted! Anyone who understands the chip industry should see the great contributions made to the entire chip industry in the past!"

"Mr. Fan, you are very good at talking." The president laughed. "Our company executives believe that cooperating with a powerful company like you is beneficial to our development in mainland China. After all, you are as sharp-sighted and There are not many company leaders with decisiveness and financial resources, we should not pass up this opportunity, should we?"

"Thank you, I can assure you that InTeL will never feel any regrets because of this cooperation." Fan Wubing knew that the other party had only his choice now, and if he wanted to enter the Chinese mainland market, he had to find a reliable ally , in some cases, the other party's government is unreliable.

It was as if Fan Wubing had never had anything to do with the US government.

The two sides talked here for three consecutive days, and finally reached a consensus on most of the issues, and Fan Wubing also decided to return to China, but left some staff here to discuss the details.

When sending Fan Wubing on the plane, the president of InTeL said to him with a smile, "Mr. The high-level decided to recall all defective netbsp; Fan Wubing smiled, he already knew this result, otherwise InTeL would not be InTeL, but he just said in his mouth, "To be able to and, it is Fan's Pleasure of the investment group! "

The two looked at each other and smiled, Fan Wubing thought in his heart, this time he finally succeeded in poaching someone else's corner.
