This young founder is so ambitious!

The boss of a semiconductor company pushed silver-edged glasses: "It is said that a one-stop company is exploring 18-inch wafers. Is the rumors true?"

Some time ago, news was circulating online, shocking the entire industry!

There is no factory in the world today, and you dare to make 18-inch wafers. Chen Yao wants to be the first to eat.

Chen Yao said frankly: "Yes, the company is already under development."

The boss was shocked and he was a little confused: "The 18-inch production line needs to be invested in tens of billions, which has a huge impact on the entire semiconductor industry. Do you really think it is necessary to do it?"

The 12-inch is pretty good now, and these semiconductor bosses don’t have much motivation to upgrade.

If you really follow Chen Yao's pace and invest a lot of money in research and development, it will lead to losses in the company.

Chen Yao said: "It is a trend that the wafer diameter becomes larger and larger. As long as you go through the pain, you will usher in a brighter future."

At the beginning, the entire industry had experienced pains from 8 inches to 12 inches, but now 12 inches is the mainstream.

Chen Yao smiled and said, "It's like 5g, many people question why we want to enter the 5g era."

"As we all know, the cost of 5g base stations is higher, the operating cost is higher, and the fees are higher than 4g. Why do you need to develop 5g?"

"The reason is the same. This is an inevitable trend. It can bring some real benefits. As for the cost, with the breakthrough of technology and large-scale promotion, the price will also decrease."

The bosses looked at each other, feeling that what he said was quite reasonable.

But, their worries cannot be eliminated.

Chen Yao said: "Our company will help you reduce costs, as long as the production equipment costs are reduced."

"We can lead the world with the mass production of 18-inch wafers!"

For nearly a hundred years, the United States has been leading the world's semiconductor industry, from 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, and then 8 inches, and now 12 inches, all of which are dominated by the United States.

Why, China can only follow others' pace to upgrade? It can only follow others' backs?

The 18-inch era is a great opportunity to overtake.

In addition to wafers, Chen Yao is most concerned about chip production technology at the moment.

At present, domestic chip production is still tightly pinned by the United States, making it difficult to produce high-end chips.

Although Chen Yao has made the best lithography machine, top chips cannot be done by lithography machines alone. If the production process is not good, it will still not be done.

Just like Samsung, they can get the best EUV lithography machine, but chips with 7nm process are not as good as those of Kuaiji.

While improving the production process, Chen Yao will also help suppliers strengthen their technical level.

The purpose is to build a production line that does not rely on the United States at all!

In the long run, we must not only get rid of dependence, but also lead the world in some key technologies and dominate the development process of the world's semiconductor industry.

It’s not that he depends on him, but that he relies on himself in turn, and then the whole situation will be reversed.

After coming out of the conference room, Chen Yao walked into the laboratory.

At this moment, Zhou Weiming, wearing a laboratory suit and a mask, was looking at the screen in front of him, monitoring the performance of semiconductor materials in high temperature environments.

The main research targets of this laboratory are third-generation semiconductors.

The material being tested inside the glass is the third-generation semiconductor, gallium nitride!

Compared with the material "silicon", many people are still unfamiliar with gallium nitride. In fact, this material has entered the lives of many people.

Nowadays, many mobile phone fast-fill chargers use gallium nitride.

Compared with silicon materials, third-generation semiconductor materials can withstand larger voltages and the volume of the charger can also be smaller.

Zhou Weiming tested in the laboratory and used a gallium nitride charging head to charge the battery, which could reach up to 1500w and be fully charged in one minute.

Of course, with such a large power, the mobile phone battery must be able to withstand it. Not to mention whether it will explode and catch fire, the battery life will not last long if it is charged like this.

Therefore, studying the new generation of batteries is also a technology that the team needs to break through next.

"Mr. Chen, you are here." Zhou Weiming turned around and found that Chen Yao was standing aside and watching him perform an experiment.

Chen Yao asked: "How is the research progress?"

"It went very smoothly." Zhou Weiming's tired face showed a smile: "The key technology has been made. I believe that the third-generation semiconductor materials will be available for production soon."

In today's world, almost all large semiconductor companies are conquering the third-generation semiconductors, which is a brand new and broad market.

Whoever has better technology can occupy the world.

In the silicon era, Japan's silicon materials were very strong and almost monopolized most of the world's markets.

In the third-generation semiconductor era, Chen Yao will take the lead no matter what!

He put on a mask, put on a laboratory suit, and kept doing tests with Zhou Weiming.

Although he likes singing and dancing, he seems to be in the entertainment industry, in fact, he spends most of his working hours in the laboratory for research.

It only took a day to make an album for Qin Yunzi.

Work and entertainment are both good.

Work is to live a better life and enjoy life.

Chen Yao is not a workaholic. Although he doesn’t spend much time working every day, his advantage lies in his high efficiency.

He can take more time to do things he likes to do more.

In fact, Chen Yao has been involved in the research and development of the third-generation semiconductor materials. Without him, the project could not have been progressed so quickly.

Don’t think that scientific research is boring, when you fall in love with this job, you will find many interesting things when you invest in it.

Especially when you make technological breakthroughs, the feeling of joy is very strong.

During the day, Chen Yao stayed in the laboratory.

In addition to gallium nitride, another semiconductor material, silicon carbide, has also made an amazing breakthrough!

Silicon carbide is also a third-generation semiconductor material. Tesla electric vehicles use this material. In the future, it has a wide range of application value in electric vehicles, 5g high-frequency transmission base stations, etc.

"How is it? Is there any new progress in laughing so happily?" Guan Xinyan, wearing a mask, walked in.

Zhou Weiming smiled and nodded: "Breakthroughs have been made in gallium nitride and silicon carbide, and we can start production of third-generation semiconductors."

Guan Xinyan's face showed joy, which was indeed good news!

"There is another great news to tell you."

Chen Yao and Zhou Weiming looked at her with anticipation.
