Chapter 268 The Counting Unit of Local Tyrants
Liang Yuan stood up and planned to go to the cafeteria, but suddenly an idea came to his mind that the technology of direct electron beam writing can be used in supercomputers.
The supercomputing output of Hong Kong-based power collectors is already low enough. Even if the production efficiency is low, it will not be more unreliable than the current high-quality chips based on luck.
With a new direction, Liang Yuan first threw jokes and meals behind his head, turned around and sat down.
"Well, after Sister Wang Xin comes back, who will go out again? He told Fang Weilin that we can purchase one or two ~ No, at least ten electron beam direct writing lithography machines will come first, but their entire team must come to the factory. You also know the requirements for successful domestic product development~"
There is a big truth in scientific research in the Republic, which means to solve the problem first, and then consider whether it is easy to use.
Due to the weak basic technology foundation of the Republic and the review system does not involve market applications, the finalization of the 0.5 micron electron beam direct writing lithography machine brought by Fang Weilin is likely to have lithographed several 8086-level chips, and even carved several 0.5 micron lines on the wafer, and then it was directly announced that the research and development was successful.
As for how to link with other equipment in mass production, how to improve the yield rate is definitely not considered by conditions and funds.
In other words, the lithography machine that Fang Weilin strongly recommends is definitely a semi-finished product under the standard of Hong Kong-based power collection, so Liang Yuan proposed that the entire R&D team come to the factory.
"Young Master is planning~?" Liu Feiyang only said halfway.
"The supercomputer's large-traffic router uses electron beam to write a brand new process, and if possible, it also uses a brand new process."
The wafer production lines currently in operation of Hong Kong-based Power Co., Ltd. are all failed products introduced by domestic technology in the 1980s. They are pieces of pieces made of rags. They do not involve direct electron beam writing in mask templates at all. The mask film version of Hong Kong-based Power Co., Ltd. is sent to overseas foundry factories for processing. Although it is expensive, it can’t show anything when it is spread over the huge number of chip production in China.
Yuanjia Management itself has many things to do. A technical novices like Liang Yuan don’t know the processing details of the mask template at all. Therefore, when the supercomputing output was limited to process technology and could not expand the production capacity, Liang Yuan could only stare at him.
However, Su Liangyu and others know that electron beam direct writing technology can break through the capacity bottleneck of supercomputing. The problem is that the market for chip masking equipment itself is not large. Currently, the global market capacity is as high as ten units per year. This almost manual elite equipment directly leads to the high price of electron beam direct writing lithography machines. The cheapest overseas model starts at US$4 million.
What’s even more frustrating is that foreigners are not fools. Even if the electron beam direct writing lithography machine is imported, it is just like imported overseas supercomputers. It can only be used for civil projects or scientific research and teaching. Foreign technicians and factories will settle in for supervision. Su Liangyu dared not take huge risks to use this thing for mass production of supercomputers.
"The eldest young master reacts so quickly~"
Liu Feiyang gave a thumbs up and flattered him.
Liang Yuan gave Liu Feiyang a blank look and said, "The fake one has no sincerity at all. This level is at least fifty different from Sister Wang Xin~ I don't believe you have never thought of using electron beam direct writing technology to break through the bottleneck of supercomputing production capacity."
In another scenario, Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian might have mentioned to Liang Yuan that electron beam direct writing technology could be used for supercomputing production. But today, the two big bows that were swaying in front of him kept reminding the three of them that something must have happened between the boss and the boss's wife, so it would be better to run away early. The three of them all understood that even if the finished product of the electron beam direct writing lithography machine suddenly appeared in the Republic, it was almost certain that the idea of not meeting the Hong Kong-based power collection was almost certain. Sooner or later, there would be a lot of time to report, not less than the moment in front of him.
However, Nie Xiaotian, who was shot in Liang Yuan's mouth, looked at Liu Feiyang proudly. He became a unit of measurement for something, and he was fifty. I don't know what this guy is proud of.
The historical process of the entire era is in Liang Yuan's mind. After all, Liang Yuan stood on the shoulders of the future and looked back, and Liang Yuan thought clearly about the reasons why Su Liangyu and others did not mention to him the electron beam direct writing technology to change the supercomputing dilemma.
"I think about it, you didn't report this possibility of breaking through the bottleneck of supercomputing production capacity. Maybe even if you can buy it, foreigners will look very tightly at the equipment. Well, we still have a lot of shameful things~."
Although Yuanjia and Yiqian Academy were separated by Liang Yuan in reality, they were actually two sides in Liang Yuan's mind. Thinking about the things that Yiqian Academy had been tricked into, how dare the foreigners join in?
Liang Yuan stood up while talking, but sat down again in a blink of an eye.
"I'm still not going out. Fang Weilin's mood has been very ups and downs today, so I won't go out to join in the fun. Liu Feiyang, go and tell him about buying ten units."
After hearing what Liang Yuan said, everyone in the room laughed. Wang Xin went out to attack Fang Weilin and told him to change careers. You have no future in doing this. I guess Fang Weilin had just accepted the reality at this time. Then Liu Feiyang went out and resurrected the project on the spot, telling Fang Weilin to come to ten units first to try it out.
Nowadays, the global annual sales of electron beam direct writing lithography machines are only ten units. It would be strange if Fang Weilin was not excited from hell to heaven.
Liu Feiyang nodded and told Fang Weilin to come back to life. Liang Yuan looked at Nie Xiaotian and said slowly: "I plan to find some talents in the direction of heat dissipation to stuff your project team below. Our process technology is backward, and consumer products will definitely be a big problem in the future. Don't consider the power consumption first. We will start early when the heat dissipation is not taken seriously overseas."
"We use military industry in air cooling, so we need technology from my mother. Huachen's current fan strength is definitely the world's number one. We use other water cooling, oil cooling and other things together."
Even the **ug of the sweeping fan was solved by Li Yuanling. Liang Yuan said that FAW fan technology is the best in the world, which is really not a brag. This technology has been at least three years opposite the Pacific Ocean.
"Young Master, will you be so good at using military technology? ~"
Nie Xiaotian asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay, just send someone to find Huachen to ask for the latest technology, I'll handle the others."
Liang Yuan showed a smile that suited the character of a domineering president. Nie Xiaotian was so angry that he had been hiding with Liang Yuan for a long time. Nie Xiaotian was sure that Liang Yuan was trying to cheat people.
After chatting with Nie Xiaotian for a while, Liang Yuan was still a little worried about the electron beam direct writing technology.
Liang Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm so embarrassed. I plan to go out and see the electron beam lithography machine. I hope Fang Weilin's psychological quality will be extra high."
After hearing what Liang Yuan said, the remaining people in the room looked at each other and smiled, stood up and walked outside. Nie Xiaotian said as he walked: "Everyone's attention has been on the industrial production of domestic equipment and the introduction of new Federal German processes recently, and he has not paid much attention to the direct writing technology of electron beams."
Liang Yuan understood Nie Xiaotian's statement that the electron beam direct writing technology has not crossed the threshold of mass production since its birth. Hong Kong-based current collector must be mainly based on stable mass industrial production, and the domestic lithography machine naturally adopts the international mainstream stepper lithography machine.
Fang Weilin was arranged to the conference room downstairs of Liang Yuan, which was not a particularly confidential matter. The conference room door was not locked, and Liang Yuan and his friends did not swipe the card when they came to the conference room door. They pushed it lightly and walked in.
At the not-so-large round conference table, Wang Xin and Liu Feiyang were sitting at one end, and Fang Weilin took his subordinates to sit at the other end. The conference room was silent. Fang Weilin was frowning slightly and his face was full of entanglement thinking, but even Liang Yuan and others came in quietly without realizing it.
Liang Yuan didn't approach the conference table, so he found a chair and sat behind Wang Xin. As soon as he sat firmly, Wang Xin handed over a notebook. Liang Yuan took it and saw that it was a brief record made by Wang Xin himself, which could be used as the meeting record.
It was similar to Liang Yuan's words. Fang Weilin was in a mood that was like a roller coaster. When Wang Xin came forward to receive the reception, Fang Weilin was very excited. His hard work was not in vain. Finally, he found a senior executive of Hong Kong Basic Electric Co., Ltd. who could speak.
Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang, and Nie Xiaotian have been on domestic electronics industry magazines more than once, and Fang Weilin recognized the person as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, the domestic electronics industry magazines in the Republic have almost become exclusive corporate magazines for Hong Kong-based power collectors. The electronics industry technology is very fast. Only Hong Kong-based power collectors can barely keep up with the pace of foreign updates in China. If they don’t report Hong Kong-based power collectors, did they report that a certain institute successfully copied 80186?
If no news about Hong Kong-based power collectors is published, no one will read the magazine. In addition to this, there is a bigger reason that has driven the evolution of domestic electronics industry magazines to Hong Kong-based power collectors enterprise magazines.
The reason is money. Even in the early 1990s, chips had to go through more than 300 to process from sand to finished products. Since Liang Yuan was determined to promote the localization of process technology, in addition to lithography machines, etching machines, ion implantation core devices, such as air pumps, workshop work cars, grinding, packaging, chemical preparations, etc., all equipment and materials are needed.
The launch of the torch plan is mainly aimed at core equipment, and other small-tech port-based power collectors are looking for partners from domestic electronic magazines.
The Republic Factory in the early 1990s was quite shy and embarrassed to brag about it with great fanfare. The so-called advertisements were all about posting something similar to a soft article.
The article first talks about the development progress of the awesome bigwigs in the international industry, and then talks about the degree of copycats of domestic friendly competitors. Finally, it is the technology of our firm. There are also some touching examples of hard work interspersed in the middle. Finally, I would like to express my boldness to come to our factory to discuss the free food and drink of partners.
Hong Kong Major Corporation used to find a partner through the advertising soft articles of domestic electronic magazines and found hundreds of companies in one go. How can this major event that directly caused the turmoil in the entire industry be hidden? When someone discovered that Hong Kong Major Corporation's search for a partner channel, the soft articles (advertising) fees of all electronic industry magazines in the Republic suddenly rose sharply, from a few hundred yuan per issue to a few thousand yuan per issue.
Fang Weilin came to the gate of Hong Kongji Electric Co., Ltd. to block people, which is also related to the price increase of soft articles in electronics industry magazines. Hongji Electric Co., Ltd.'s money-spending behavior like a flood of money cannot be concealed by the industry. Fang Weilin had known about this matter for a long time.
The problem is that the mainstream position of electron beam direct writing lithography machines in Hong Kong-based current collector has been eliminated. Fang Weilin communicated several times over the phone not only did not even contact middle-level managers, but no feedback signal was obtained in any positive sense.
Fang Weilin, who had no choice, made up his mind to the soft articles of electronic magazines, and was sadly discovered that the advertising fee of several hundred yuan had increased to more than 7,000 yuan.
If Liang Yuan had not appeared in the first 55 years of the founding of the Republic, the cumulative investment in the field of integrated circuits was about 5 billion yuan, an average of less than 100 million yuan per year.
This 100 million yuan fund has been distributed to nearly 100 electronic research institutes and more than 300 integrated circuit manufacturing processes across the country. How much money can each institute and process be dismal and embarrassed to calculate.
The 841 Optoelectronics Department of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery, where Fang Weilin is located, is a typical scientific research institute in the Republic in the 1990s. It is not as good as the top and the bottom. Although there is no key R&D projects that the state attaches importance to, it has not fallen into the dilemma of all funds to support the people.
Apart from the head fees, equipment update and maintenance, etc., the Institute can invest one or two million free money in the R&D field every year. Of course, this one-hundred-million free money is not all given to electron beam direct writing technology. In addition to lithography machines, chip packaging equipment and direct pull CNC single crystal growth furnaces are also the R&D direction of the Institute.
Before Fang Weilin took over the Optoelectronics Department, the Optoelectronics Department had been working on the electron beam direct writing lithography machine for nine years under the leadership of the old section chief. It was not until the equipment was successfully trial operation in the middle of this year that the old section chief of the Optoelectronics Department retired with relief.
Funding is already small, so everyone is naturally competing hard. After the electron beam direct writing lithography machine is finalized, the ones that should be retired and the ones that should be promoted cannot still occupy a large amount of funds to delay the personal progress of other departments, unless Fang Weilin can use the electron beam lithography machine to bring profits to the institute.
Originally, Fang Weilin was also at a loss. The market space of electron beam direct writing lithography machines in the world is about ten Taiwans all year round. In the 841st Institute, I would never dream of thinking that I could squeeze in.
Then, Hong Kong-based Power Co., Ltd. threw a super big bomb out in the Republic's electronics field.
Since the project reached the final sprint stage, the originally small R&D funds were spent a little careful. As a result, the annual funds of the Optoelectronics Department of the 841 Institute were spent in the first half of the year. If the soft article advertising fee of hundreds of yuan was raised, it would be enough to raise funds. Even if there was no effect, it would be fine. Once the soft article advertising fee increased to less than 10,000 yuan, it was not something that Fang Weilin could simply decide whether it was fundraising or throwing it into the water.
Fortunately, Fang Weilin had a very strong execution ability. After realizing that the matter in the institute was complicated, he directly adopted the simplest, ethereal and stupidest method to come to Hong Kong base to collect electricity and come to block people.
Fang Weilin was also lucky. He only came to Nanhu Science and Technology Park for two days and met Liang Yuan and the twins. He happened to hear the three of them chatting. Fang Weilin tried it with shameless thoughts but unexpectedly succeeded.
Wang Xin and Fang Weilin said that when Fang Weilin changed career, he was really desperate. He finally saw his thighs in front of him and could hang them on his thighs. Suddenly, he was notified that the screw model you brought was wrong and his thighs refused to be equipped. This was a feeling of silhouette.
Fang Weilin and Wang Xin, who were hit, kept introducing how strong the R&D power of the Optoelectronics Technology is and how much money it is. As long as you give some funds, you will definitely improve the existing electron beam direct writing lithography machine to a level that meets industrial production.
Out of politeness, Wang Xin listened quietly, after listening to it for half, Liu Feiyang came in and announced the news that Fang Weilin was shut up and was surprised to explode. Hong Kong Capital Electric Co., Ltd. changed its plan again and decided to purchase ten electron beam direct writing lithography machines from the 841st Institute. Liu Feiyang readily asked Fang Weilin to quote the price, and signed a contract for cooperation directly without any problems.
Happiness came so suddenly that Fang Weilin stopped talking. Before coming, Fang Weilin had no idea that he could sell ten lithography machines at once. Originally, Fang Weilin felt satisfied that he could sell one and let the Hong Kong base collector try the waters.
How to report this price? Sell ten lithography machines at once. If the report is high, he will become a sinner in the entire institute. Fang Weilin was struggling when Liang Yuan came in.
After reading Wang Xin's written records, Liang Yuan had a general understanding of the situation in the room. After reading Fang Weilin's silence and entanglement, Liang Yuan whispered to Liu Feiyang on the side of his body.
"Liu Feiyang, haven't you lost the approximate purchase price?"
"The people from the Actuary Office and the Data Office of the Logistics Support Center did not come, and I didn't know how much I reported it."
Liu Feiyang whispered to Liang Yuan’s question.
Because Liang Yuan intends to cultivate related industrial chains, the price codes given by Hong Kong-based Electric Co., Ltd. when purchasing domestic equipment from abroad are relatively loose. In order to avoid the possibility of profit transfer, the actual procurement price is jointly confirmed by the Actuary Department of the Logistics Support Center, the Data Department, the Hong Kong-based Electric Co., Ltd. Procurement Department, and the relevant technical department of the Hong Kong-based Electric Co., Ltd.
The conference room was too quiet. Liang Yuan and Liu Feiyang whispered to each other and finally attracted Fang Weilin's attention. Only then did Fang Weilin realize that the boy who could be called his great nobleman also came to the conference room to watch the fun.
Fang Weilin vaguely heard the price, purchase and other words, and finally made a decision in his mind that if the lithography machine cannot be sold, there is no future for the photoelectric technology, whether to make money or not is secondary, and living first is the most important thing.
Fang Weilin calculated the investment in lithography machine projects over the years. The average annual price of 400,000 yuan in nine years, plus the cost of the head cost, the equipment maintenance cost is about 5 million yuan. If the lithography machine energy is produced, Fang Weilin is confident that the cost will be reduced to less than 2 million yuan per unit. After all, the lithography machine has been finalized and has overcome the big trouble of trial and error, and it is certain that the production cost will drop rapidly.
If the cost can be quickly reduced to less than 2 million and squeezed out the technical capabilities of the institute, the optoelectronics department may make a fortune and pay the year-end bonus. Fang Weilin gritted his teeth and decided to report it to two million per unit.
He let out a long breath and calmed down his mood. Fang Weilin attracted everyone in the conference room to look at him. However, when Fang Weilin opened his mouth and planned to say the number two million, his throat was so nervous that Fang Weilin didn't emit any syllables.
Realizing that everyone was looking at him giving the answer, Fang Weilin immediately stretched out his two fingers and paused hard in front of him, indicating that there were two million lithography machines per unit.
Liang Yuan looked at Fang Weilin's skinny lips, and knew that the man was so nervous that his throat was dry and temporarily lost his speech. He turned around and signaled Ning Wanjia on his right to take a glass of water.
Seeing Fang Weilin stretching out two fingers vigorously, Liang Yuan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and blurted out:
"Is it 20 million per unit? It's so cheap."
"Yeah, it's quite cheap~."
"It's much cheaper than foreign ones~."
“It’s still a good deal for bulk purchase ~.”
With Liang Yuan's 20 million words finished, Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang and Nie Xiaotian successively confirmed the price.
Fang Weilin was all stupid. In Fang Weilin's eyes, Liang Yuan blurted out 20 million. Later, the recognition of Wang Xin, Liu Feiyang and Nie Xiaotian made Fang Weilin extremely shocked.
Chapter completed!
