139 One-stop semiconductor, take off together with suppliers

Obviously, the supermarket owner is a fan of the album and Qin Yunzi.

Until now, Chen Yao doesn’t think he is a star. He inexplicably shot an MV with Qin Yunzi, why did he become popular?

When the boss lady heard that there were stars here, the eyes of the people around her were casting over.

Chen Yao was a little uncomfortable with this feeling, and was embarrassed to accept the boss’s wife’s gift, so he bought an extra bottle of facial cleansing, turned around and walked out of the supermarket and went home.

When I got home, I put the shampoo and facial cleanser I had just bought on the shelf, then turned on the showerhead of the water heater and started washing my hair and taking a shower.

20 minutes later, Chen Yao walked out of the bathroom with a refreshing look and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Looking at the TV, the album has been played.

Music is just a hobby, not a profession. Chen Yao's real profession is still a scientific and technological worker.

I opened the email client on my phone and checked the email.

Just now, Guan Xin has created an email.

She said that the fab's first 12-inch wafer production line will be put into production tomorrow and the chairman must go back.

The speed is quite fast. The previous fab could only produce 8-inch ones. Now it has been upgraded to 12-inches shortly after it was acquired.

Chen Yao quickly clicked on the keyboard to reply to her - he would definitely go back tomorrow.

...

One-stop semiconductor company.

Chen Yao walked in the factory's production workshop wearing a mask and an anti-static worker uniform.

There was also a beautiful girl walking beside her, who was also wearing a mask, and she was still so beautiful and charming even in the worker's uniform.

The production workshop is busy, and workers are operating a laser cutting machine to slice the wafer rod.

During this period, Guan Xinyan has been busy with the 12-inch wafer production line. Fortunately, everything is going well and the 12-inch wafer is finally successfully put into production.

Chen Yao turned his head and looked at her: "Thank you for your hard work, senior sister."

"I often can't see you, and I don't know where to go?" Guan Xinyan glared.

Chen Yao did not respond to her and took a wafer rod from the blue-collar worker, which was cylindrical and just 12 inches.

If you want to make chips, the essential thing is wafers. The most mainstream sizes in the world are 8 inches and 12 inches. Theoretically, the larger the wafer, the better.

What's the good thing? It can reduce production costs and make chips lower.

With a mobile phone, the chip cost often accounts for a large proportion, and semiconductor manufacturers will try every means to reduce the cost.

Now 70% of the world's wafers are 12-inch, but 8-inch has not been eliminated yet. The reason is that the 8-inch technology is low and it still has great market value in some areas.

"The successful production of 12-inch wafers means that our company has achieved world-class wafer production."

Guan Xinyan felt a little proud.

This is not an easy task. I finally got good results after working hard for so long.

The most 12-inch semiconductor giants in the world today, Intel, Samsung, etc., can achieve.

As for larger wafers, which are 18 inches in diameter, the entire semiconductor industry is currently quite pessimistic and feels that it will be difficult to produce quantified within ten or twenty years.

Technology is not the biggest reason, the biggest reason is that the investment is too large.

An 18-inch wafer production line is expected to cost 10 billion US dollars.

With the upgrade of wafers, equipment manufacturers in the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry have to invest a lot of money in research and development and upgrading, and the investment of the entire industry is at least 100 billion US dollars.

Such a huge investment of capital cannot afford any giant.

Once upgraded from 8 inches to 12 inches, the entire semiconductor industry has gone through a painful process.

Although I finally saw that the upgrade was successful, 12-inch is now mainstream and the most profitable.

But this painful process is a bit long, and no one in the industry dares to do it now.

And Chen Yao dares to do it and wants to be an industry pioneer!

For nearly a hundred years, the United States has been leading the process of the world's semiconductor industry.

Today, it is time for this pattern to be reversed!

As for cost issues, Chen Yao has set up a special laboratory to study the cost issues of 18-inch wafers to minimize the costs of upstream and downstream of the industry.

The so-called hundreds of billions of investment in production lines and hundreds of billions of industry investment are all Western data.

As long as many equipment are domestically produced, the cost can be greatly reduced.

Just like the highest-end EUV lithography machine of Asml, one costs 120 million US dollars.

After realizing domestic production, Chen Yao directly reduced the price of lithography machines to less than 30 million US dollars, only one-quarter of his.

Chen Yao asked while walking: "Senior sister, how is the current order quantity of Jinglong lithography machine?"

Guan Xinyan said: "The world's top five chip foundries are already our customers, and it is expected that the orders for lithography machines our company will receive this year will exceed those of Asml."

When everyone around heard this, everyone showed a happy smile on their faces. It was really not easy for national industry to reach this point.

Jinglong's lithography machine is not only low in price, but also has high technology and high production efficiency. It takes 18 months for Asml lithography machine to place an order before it can get the goods.

The Jinglong lithography machine will arrive in half a year.

Naturally, manufacturers are more willing to use Jinglong's lithography machine.

Of course, in order not to be surpassed by opponents, the team is also accelerating research and development, and lithography machines that support 1nm chips are about to be mass-produced.

Afterwards, Chen Yao and Guan Xinyan walked out of the factory, took off their masks, and replaced them with workers' uniforms.

Conference room.

Business owners from the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor industry have all come. At this moment, they are blowing air conditioners in the conference room waiting for Chen Yao to come.

Today, his position in the industry is very noble.

Chen Yao pushed open the glass door and walked in with Guan Xinyan.

The CEOs of semiconductors stood up one after another and walked over to shake hands with him.

"Hello, big guy, hello!" One by one, the bosses in their forties and fifties, greeted Chen Yao one after another.

Chen Yao smiled faintly: "I am too young in this industry, you are the big guys!"

"No, you are the real boss!" The boss said seriously.

Chen Yao’s semiconductor operations not only strengthened his own company, but also helped domestic semiconductor companies to improve upstream and downstream companies.

Take this 12-inch wafer for example, all production equipment and parts have been fully domestically produced.

It is a production line completely controlled by the Chinese people and has got rid of the dependence of the United States.

Turning around the world is the beginning of a new era!

Chen Yao cleared his throat and said, "We have made amazing breakthroughs in some key semiconductor devices!"

"In the future, our country will dominate the world's chip development, industrial power, you and me!"
