Chapter 1150 The Great Significance of the Successful Development of the Photolithography Machine!
In this world, no one realizes the importance of lithography machines in the future more than Yang Ming, and no one attaches more importance to lithography machines than Yang Ming.
It can be said that in recent years, a lot of funds have been invested in Xiangjiang Science City, and it has been completely researched from scratch to now.
At this time, in the global lithography machine market, Nikon of Japan is still the overlord, and ASML, the future overlord of lithography machines in history, has only been established for three years. The lithography machine company under the Empire Group was established earlier than ASML.
In other words, what Yang Ming has to do is not only to replace the status and market of Nikon and other lithography machines, but even to be like ASML, the overlord of lithography machines in history.
By that time, whether ASML will still be like the ASML in history is hard to say.
"Sir, shall we go to Xiangjiang Science City after breakfast?" Alina asked.
"Yes, let's go and see our lithography machine later."
Alina, Yingla still doesn't understand why Sir Yang attaches so much importance to lithography machines, as if the emergence of this lithography machine is more worthy of joy than the acquisition of Huifeng Bank by the Empire Group.
After breakfast.
Yang Ming, Alina, Yingla and others took a car to the Hong Kong Science Park again.
Yang Ming just got off the car.
He Chaoxuan and Lin Xiuzhi have already arrived.
It is really very convenient to come here now.
In addition to the highway, the subway is all open.
Yang Ming just came here, and Dr. Liu, who is responsible for the development of the lithography machine, has come to greet him.
Dr. Liu is also a Chinese doctor who graduated from Stanford University.
At the beginning, it was Yuan Tianfan who dug him back.
After Dr. Liu returned to Hong Kong and Yang Ming met him, Dr. Liu at that time did not expect that Sir Yang knew much more about lithography machines than many people.
In addition, Dr. Liu did not expect that Sir Yang attached so much importance to the development of lithography machines.
Soon, Dr. Liu led the team to officially develop lithography machines.
It can be said that their team needs funds, and the Empire Group provides funds, and they also provide talents as much as possible.
It took nearly six years.
Today, the first lithography machine that is close to the world's advanced level and can be used has been successfully developed.
After Yang Ming and others came to the changing room of the laboratory, they changed into clean laboratory work clothes and went inside.
Yang Ming saw the huge machine in front of him.
He knew that it was a commercial lithography machine jointly developed by multiple laboratories of the Empire Group.
Among them, it was Dr. Liu's team that made the greatest contribution this time.
"Boss, according to the most advanced lithography machines we purchased from Nikon, GCA and other lithography machines, our current lithography machines are at most half a generation behind them, which is about two or three years. However, as long as we are given time, we will definitely catch up and surpass them before the 1990s." Dr. Liu said on the side.
Yang Ming nodded.
He knew that the lithography machine is a carrier for the lithography process, and the chip is the most critical step in the production process, so the lithography machine is an indispensable equipment in chip production.
And now the lithography machine and the chip are actually much worse than those in the next thirty or forty years.
Even if the current lithography machine is only two or three years behind the world's most advanced level, it is actually basically enough.
Including various electrical products, as well as chips in game consoles, etc., all need to use these lithography machines for production.
And in the future.
With the improvement of mobile phone performance and efficiency, the importance of chips will be greater.
And the role of lithography machines will be greater.
For Yang Ming, lithography machines must be available, otherwise, by that time, if Europe, the United States, and Japan want to ban you, they will inevitably be like Huawei and other companies in history.
Now, when Yang Ming saw this lithography machine, he was indeed very excited.
"Dr. Liu, the successful development of lithography machines is now a key part of the success of Xiangjiang Science and Technology City. Without lithography machines, there will be no future Xiangjiang integrated circuit manufacturing companies."
Just like Moss Electric in the Wanwan Xinzhu Science and Technology Park, if there was no support from ASML lithography machines, Moss Electric in history would not have been able to monopolize the global high-end chip market.
In other words, Yang Ming asked people to develop lithography machines, even if they were not sold to other companies at that time, his own company would also use them.
As for the domestic aspect?
Although Yang Ming and the old man reminded him many times, whether the old man and the country can seize this opportunity and truly break through the historical suppression and blockade of domestic technology by Europe, America and Japan, Yang Ming does not know.
However, in any case, the Empire Group and the Hong Kong Science Park must exist.
Now that the lithography machine has been successfully developed, other related industrial chains will follow.
It won't take long.
The Hong Kong Science Park can be said to be the place where Hong Kong creates exports and earns the most.
Even if it is not as good as San Francisco Silicon Valley, it will surpass the Xinzhu Science Park in Taiwan in the future.
Dr. Liu and others were there to introduce and demonstrate to Yang Ming. Yang Ming knew that with the addition of more and more talents from Su Lian, and even some talents from Nanfei, even if it would be difficult to dig other talents from Japan, Europe and the United States, Yang Ming knew that many technologies in the Hong Kong Science Park would appear under his promotion and affect the entire Hong Kong, Asia Pacific and even the world.
Come here today.
Yang Ming came here just to see the commercial lithography machine developed here.
However, Empire Group and Xiangjiang Science Park do not intend to announce it to the public, but first cooperate with companies related to Empire Group, and wait until the world's most advanced lithography machine technology is truly broken through, and then Yang Ming will export these lithography machines to the world.
Before leaving Xiangjiang Science Park, Yang Ming commended and rewarded Dr. Liu and other team members. In addition, their salaries and benefits were further improved.
At noon.
Yang Ming, He Chaoxuan, Yingla, Lin Xiuzhi, Alina and others accompanied Dr. Liu and others to have lunch here.
In the afternoon.
Yang Ming took a car to leave here again.
When returning to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, Alina asked: "Sir, why do you value lithography machines so much?"
"Because it is a very important part of future technology."
It can be said that this is not only the future of Xiangjiang, but also the future of Empire Group.
However, Alina, Yingla and others still don't understand.
They don't understand because they don't know that the chips produced by lithography machines in the future will involve all aspects. For example, the annual import of chips in China alone involves hundreds of billions of US dollars and trillions of RMB. You can imagine how terrible it is.
Even so, it's nothing.
In the most difficult time, when China had money, Europe and the United States still didn't agree to sell lithography machines to China.
