Chapter 752 Clean and Hygienic

"Warmly welcome the directors of Jiuzhou Semiconductor to visit for inspection and guidance"

"Safety first, prevention first, comprehensive management"

"People-oriented standardized management to ensure safe and harmonious development"

"Building a modern technology enterprise and creating global high-quality products"

…

With red banners, flowers on the roadside, and welcoming crowds, when Li You and his party arrived at the Hanxing Semiconductor Factory in Korea, they almost thought that they had not gone abroad, but had gone to a partner company's factory in Daxia.

"Hello, I am Li Zairong. Due to limited time, there are some deficiencies in our arrangements. Please forgive me."

Li Zairong spoke in Daxia Mandarin, which was a little stiff, but the pronunciation was still clear, which made Li You and others take a second look at him.

Although Li You has been in the semiconductor research and development environment all year round, he also worked in foreign companies, so his communication skills are not bad.

"Your Mandarin is very good. This time you came in a hurry because our laboratory found that our first-generation silicon-based technology had some flaws. In order to prevent our partners from suffering losses, we asked me to lead the company. The R&D team came to check on the situation.”

After shaking hands and communicating, Li You also saw the conduct of this head Li.

The head of a large multinational tycoon has a sincere attitude toward an "unknown" engineer like himself, even a little humble. He bows at every turn, which is more neon than neon.

But that's it. The more humble and friendly Li Zairong behaves, the more wary Li You becomes.

"I heard that some time ago, Uncle Sam visited your company's Korean Electronics semiconductor factory in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province?

This move was even cited by your country's media as announcing the launch of the "U.S. High-Tech Alliance". Mr. Yin also used this to emphasize his willingness to build an "economic security alliance" with Uncle Sam. "

Li You was wearing the work clothes handed over by Jiuzhou Technology's expatriate employees in the factory, and while walking, he seemed to talk about this incident accidentally.

Li Zairong glanced at the man with the same surname and adjusted his glasses awkwardly.

"The factory over there uses the traditional craftsmanship of our Korean Star Electronics, so Mr. Yin is here to gain more profits, nothing more. I can guarantee that there is absolutely no leakage of the technology authorized by your company to us!"

Li You just nodded to Li Zairong's sworn assurance.

Under the guidance of the person in charge of the factory, a head of the Goryeo chaebol and a vice president of Daxia Enterprise inspected the second production line currently being started and the third production line under construction.

"Maybe, but that Uncle Sam just wore a suit and entered the dust-free workshop of your company's core project in the factory. It is simply anti-science."

Li You's complaint made Li Zairong afraid to talk to him.

The dust-free workshop of a semiconductor factory is an artificial dust-free environment, and the particles contained in it are far lower than the general environment.

Due to the development of nano-process semiconductor chip technology, the critical dimensions of semiconductors continue to shrink, and the concentration of integrated circuits continues to increase. Dust particles are more likely to cause chip failure or deterioration in reliability. For example, when metal dust particles fall onto metal wires, they may cause a short circuit in the metal wires. In addition, if acidic ionic compound dust particles fall on metal wires, they may corrode them, so dust-free workshops are an indispensable element for integrated circuit manufacturing.

In the semiconductor dust-free workshop, what has the greatest impact on the dust-free environment is not mechanical equipment, but people, because people will come in from the dirty outside world and bring countless garbage particles and dust to pollute the dust-free environment, and these are very important for nanometer units. It is fatal for the chips produced by the process.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li You was wearing work clothes to complain about Uncle Sam, but Li Zairong was unwilling to talk to him.

Because after Uncle Sam's cool visit to the factory, Korea Hansung Semiconductor did indeed conduct a very thorough cleaning of the dust-free workshops.

Wearing SR1 glasses, the specific conditions of each operation workshop are presented to Li You with the help of various sensors.

The light source inside the lithography machine workshop is very airtight and there are no minor problems.

However, in some small links, he saw some "apprentices" arranged by Han Xing Semiconductor, staring at them like thieves. Some of the values ​​set by their own engineers, the apprentices would also write down seriously.

However, this is a normal phenomenon, and the same applies to those who steal from traditional industries and put them into high-precision industries.

Numerical values, link processes, machine equipment adjustments, and even the addition of some special materials are like "ancestral secret formulas" that are not revealed to others unless they are personally passed down.

However, after entering this factory, Li You felt much more at ease.

There is the security team of our own company, as well as special parts in certain equipment on the production line. If there is a safety problem, it can only be said to be a fate.

After the inspection, he said: "The technical loopholes and upgrade plans of this factory will be sent to your company in a week. At the same time, we will transfer back a group of engineers to train them and then send them over."

Li Zairong followed the stick and said: "Can you allow our company to also send some engineers to study with your company?

Don’t worry, they can speak Daxia Mandarin and can skillfully operate Jiuzhou Industrial software and the equipment they need for their work.

Moreover, our company will also subsidize their study and living expenses. As for training expenses, your company can give you a reasonable figure. "

Li You did not refuse this somewhat unreasonable request.

He replied calmly: "For personnel training, our company has rules and regulations. For semiconductor engineers, the training cycle ranges from one million to ten million Xiayuan.

If you want engineers from which projects to study in Daxia, you can submit a report to our president's office, and we will generally get a reply within seven working days."

After inspecting the factory, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Our company arranged a small welcome party for the popular idol group S1M in Gangnam, and there will be some entertainment sessions afterwards so that everyone can relax."

A senior executive of Goryeo Korean Star had a warm face and spoke fluent Daxia Mandarin while making arrangements.

In its view, this group of "wooden idiots" who have been engaged in research and development for many years must also be curious about the kind of life of luxury, and with the participation of popular idol groups, who knows who might like this?

But the warm face of this Korean star senior executive was met with a cold fart 0 butt.

Li You rejected these arrangements and said seriously: "We also need to report the specific situation of this factory to the company headquarters. The company also needs to contact the person in charge of the factory and then arrange for personnel and equipment to come. If we delay for one night, it will waste thousands or even tens of thousands of people's time."
