Chapter 269 Liu Sen’s Goal Is to Overthrow the Entire Industry
Mr. Coarse Lei really admires Liu Sen.
"I have to hurry up and buy the photolithography machine through a third-party company, and then buy the manufactured chips through the third-party company. There is no problem at all."
As long as you don't buy chips directly from Yidian Semiconductor, you can.
Mr. Lei knew it was too late and went directly to Yidian Semiconductor to discuss the purchase of a photolithography machine.
Various other semiconductor companies also took notice, and all came to Yidian Semiconductor as soon as possible.
"Asen, I saw your social media message. Are your semiconductor lithography machines really going to be sold?"
When Liu Sen heard what Mr. Ren said, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Ren, I will sell it soon, which can also improve your manufacturing strength. However, this lithography machine can only produce 7-nanometer chips at most, and they are conventional chips. , not our billion-point glass chips.”
"Asen, I understand. But does this mean that you can already produce 7-nanometer glass chips yourself, and does it mean that the performance can directly reach 4-nanometer conventional chips?"
"There is no problem at all. If the chip design is better, the performance will be better."
"That's really good. I don't know what the output of your photolithography machines is now, so we can order some directly."
Mr. Ren directly asked the issue he was most concerned about, if the output was low.
So this counterattack has a symbolic meaning.
"Don't worry, the production capacity of our photolithography machines is very good. We can assemble 10 units for sale every month."
Liu Sen did not directly say that his semiconductor company is now able to produce 4-nanometer lithography machines and has completed the upgrading of the factory.
The production capacity of 10 units is only announced to the outside world. If it were announced that the monthly production capacity was 100 units, it would directly scare people around the world.
You must know that the production cycle of ASML's 7-nanometer lithography machine reaches 21 months, and only about 30 units can be produced in a year.
It took decades of accumulation and countless skilled engineers to reach this production capacity.
Yidian Semiconductor directly produces 10 units a month. This efficiency is more than four times that of ASML.
Now we still need to retain some strength and fool them for as long as possible.
He had already thought about releasing ten photolithography machines every month.
It's just that there has never been a good opportunity. The sanctions imposed by the lighthouse country allowed him to directly use the opportunity to launch this plan.
This can improve China's overall semiconductor processing level.
You can basically say goodbye to dependence on foreign chips.
Otherwise, some regions are jumping up and down every day, claiming that their semiconductor processing capabilities are No. 1 in the world.
Tiantian said that he had made more or less revenue.
As a result, the demand for their processing becomes lower, which directly leads to their subsequent weakness and no more capital investment.
It will slowly decline.
Including those chip companies and photolithography machine manufacturing will also be hit hard.
The profits of these enterprises will drop significantly, and they may even end up operating at a loss.
You must know that with Liu Sen's approach, Chinese companies can produce most of the chips.
This means that the world's chip prices will be greatly reduced, and a large number of foreign chip companies may go bankrupt.
In the future, chips will be priced at cabbage prices.
Mr. Ren on the other side was a little surprised when he heard Liu Sen's words.
But when I think about the miracle Liu Sen brought, I am no longer surprised.
"Then see how many photolithography machines you can give us."
"I'll give you two units first. The price is the same at 100 million yuan each."
Mr. Ren was speechless when he heard the price.
It's not that the price is expensive, but it's too cheap.
You must know that SMIC paid US$120 million for a 7-nanometer machine ordered from ASML in 2018.
The US$120 million was sent to the other party at that time. It has been 4 years and it has not been shipped yet.
The price of Yidian Semiconductor is directly equivalent to one-tenth of ASML.
Mr. Ren fell into deep thought.
Liu Sen also thought that the other party heard that only two units were given too little, so he continued: "The rest should be given to other companies that come to buy. This can avoid being sanctioned again. After all, if I give them all to you, the Lighthouse Country will definitely send them out again directly. The ban does not allow the purchase of chips produced by you."
Hearing Liu Sen's words, Mr. Ren suddenly woke up.
"It's not that it's too little, but I think your price is too cheap."
"The price is still cheap. It's more than 100 million. I don't expect to make money from this thing. The low price can lower the threshold of this industry and let more people come in."
Liu Sen paused for a moment and then said: "Actually, the chip processing company is not a high-tech enterprise. It is just processing and manufacturing. It actually relies on photolithography machines, that stuff from Taipower Tiantian Xuan."
"I directly ship in large quantities, allowing many companies to do chip processing. Let's see what they are good at. What is really good is actually photolithography machine manufacturing and chip design. This is what real high-end technicians do. ”
After listening to this, Mr. Ren thought for a moment and realized that what Liu Sen said was really true.
The current leading companies in chip processing are actually mainly because they can quickly obtain the latest photolithography machines, and in large quantities.
In fact, the difference from ordinary contract processing companies is really not that big.
Thinking about Liu Sen's massive sales of high-end photolithography machines, chip processing will really become a common industry in the future.
Fuck, Liu Sen kicked the high-ranking chip foundry companies to the ground with his own strength.
When they thought about it, they begged for help from everyone, and they really had to look at other people's faces to get a schedule and tape-out.
Even Yu Dazui and the head of HiSilicon slept there in line, waiting for a free opportunity to tape out immediately.
"Asen, the future world belongs to you young people. No, it should belong to you."
When Liu Sen heard this, he was not humble, but just smiled and agreed directly.
"Mr. Ren, if you think it's too little, we can give you two every month in the future. If you don't need it later, tell us in advance."
"Thank you so much for this."
"It's okay, who made us an alliance."
When mentioning this matter, Liu Sen immediately thought of Dajiang. This company is also the leader in the industry. It would be better if they could be brought into their corporate alliance.
But it seems that Dajiang has some foreign-controlled companies.
Wait a minute to communicate directly with their boss Wang Tao to see if we can have in-depth cooperation.
However, the specific shareholding situation of Dajiang has not been disclosed in detail because it is not listed.
However, Liu Sen only thought about in-depth cooperation.
Liu Sen didn't care whether in-depth cooperation could be achieved in the end.
