As the most important and critical link in the semiconductor industry, China has been stuck in the lithography machine field for nearly half a century.

Because optical technology has been unable to make breakthroughs, 90% of high-end chips such as memory and processors in the downstream industrial chain rely on imports.

From 2017 to 2018, China's chip imports exceeded US$300 billion, reaching US$310 billion.

From 2019 to 2021, due to the decline in the industry cycle, although the import amount has decreased, the average annual rate remains around US$280 billion.

According to the current exchange rate, it is close to 2 trillion yuan.

An unimaginable astronomical figure.

You should know that in 2021, China's total oil imports will only be 1.7 trillion yuan.

Because of this, after hearing that Xinghai Technology has mastered the complete set of technologies and preparation processes, how could He Tingbo not be excited?

If all 10nm chips can be produced domestically and can be exported to earn foreign exchange, at the speed of Chinese manufacturing, there will be no problem in the global mid- and low-end chip market in the future.

Just when He Tingbo was extremely excited, Chen Xu took advantage of the situation and said: "I am planning to invest in the construction of an integrated circuit memory industry base. I want to ask you Warwick if you want to do it together?"

The investment in industrial bases of this level is very large, at least about 50 to 100 billion yuan.

Although Xinghai Technology and its subsidiaries have made a lot of money in the past two years, their expenses are also high, including scientific research, education, and various industrial chain layouts, etc., and each of them is burning rapidly.

So you have to be more at ease recently and can’t do it quickly as before.

Having said that, unlike translation software and biological cornea, the chip industry has a great relationship. Xinghai Technology is not good to eat alone, so that domestic capital and the country can participate in it better develop.

When He Tingbo heard Chen Xu's words, he said in a great manner: "As long as you have good technology and we are responsible for helping you with the funds."

Chen Xu laughed, "Mr. He is happy."

...

...

Three days later, Xinghai Technology and Zhonghai Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. reached a strategic cooperative relationship.

Then the two parties jointly established [Zhongxing Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd.], with Xinghai Technology + symbolic 10,000 rmb accounting for 51% of the shares, while Microelectronics Company invested 999.99 million rmb accounting for 49% of the shares.

During the company's preparation period, Chen Xu led more than 30 doctors to carry out intensive training in the preparation process.

These doctors are well-known scholars in the field of lithography machines in China, and are also seed players selected by Xinghai Technology and Microelectronics Corporation.

The working principle of a lithography machine is to transmit the light beam through a series of light source energy and shape control means to draw the light beam through the mask with the circuit diagram, compensate for various optical errors through the objective lens, scale down the circuit diagram and map it onto the silicon wafer, and then develop it using chemical methods to obtain the circuit diagram engraved on the silicon wafer.

Now light source equipment is second to the next. The main problem is that the lens and mechanical accuracy are insufficient. There is a slight curvature on the surface of the lens or the impurities in the lens are diffracted and refracted. The image defect after focusing will be enlarged exponentially.

In addition to the preparation process and other issues, another very big problem is talent.

Take the lens as an example. The three generations of the polishing workers of Zeiss in Germany are responsible for this process. If the same lens is replaced by other workers to polish, the accuracy will be very different!

Foreign experts once said: Even if we are given a complete set of drawings, we cannot make products of the same quality!

And these were almost unsolvable for Chen Xu before.

It is not a matter of money to train a polishing worker like Zeiss.

However, after implanting a biological computer, he came up with a way to let the robot controlled by Xiaobai polish the lenses.

Of course, this is not an easy task. When making lenses, the robot has very strong control and speed, and even 100 German Zeiss workers are not as good as those of them.

But the problem is that the robot itself is not mechanically accurate enough, which leads to a deviation from the preset program accuracy of Xiaobai.

So he used 3D bioprinting technology to create a batch of high-precision bionic robots.

These bionic robots are far more accurate than ordinary robots, solving a series of problems encountered when making lenses.

Chen Xu was like a teacher who preached and learned from the teachings, while those doctors were students. He taught them the preparation technology in the 10nm lithography machine one by one.

A month later, after everything was on track in Zhongxing Electronics, Chen Xu was finally able to take a break from his busy schedule.

On Saturday, March 12th, Arbor Day, it is also the day when the headquarters of Zhengfeng Technology Entertainment Group was completed.

The headquarters is located on the west side of Zhangjiang High-Tech Park and the south side is the University Town.

This is a building full of science fiction. Looking down from a high place, it is like a spreading star petal, surrounded by various evergreen trees and colorful flowers, lush and colorful.

The total area is 52,000 square meters, the building covers an area of ​​31,000 square meters, and the building area is 120,000 square meters. A large number of solar panels are used to maximize the use of solar energy;

In addition, in order to better save energy and reduce emissions, the designer also designed an atrium in the building, which opened in summer to achieve natural ventilation of the public parts of the building.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the building's inauguration ceremony was held with colorful fireworks.

The guests invited to attend the inauguration ceremony entered the building under the leadership of General Manager Yang Siyan.

There are many people lingering around the building, most of whom are students from the university town.

Unlike other companies, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, where every inch of land is valuable, I wish I could build the building on the moon. The Zhengfeng Technology Headquarters includes two underground parking lots with only six floors.

In addition to the building covering an area of ​​31,000 square meters, the remaining 20,000 square meters are all used as public areas. Not only are trees and flowers planted, but there are also pavilions, seats and public toilets.

In addition, the Zhengfeng Entertainment Group building can also be accessed by face swiping. Of course, you can only enter designated areas.

It will officially open from today.

At this time, there were hundreds of meters of long rows at the entrance on one side of the building, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Zhengfeng Technology is now the dominant company in the world's gaming industry. With the Taixu game engine, it has almost swept the domestic and foreign gaming industry in less than two years!

"There is a recruitment for our school. Do you want to register?"

"Of course! But I heard that the requirements are very high. Our major is not the best in China Overseas. I don't know if I can get an offer. I hope God will bless you."

"Your grades are much better than mine, so there should be no problem..."

Just as the crowd queuing downstairs was talking, Yang Siyan, who had just chatted with the guests on the floor for a while, came over and whispered: "The Chairman is here."

Yang Siyan accused several guests and then hurriedly took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Chen Xu got out of the car over there.

"boss!"

Chen Xu nodded and said "Yes", turned his head and looked around in the brightly lit underground parking lot, and said with a smile: "Wow, it's pretty."

From the construction to the completion of the Zhengfeng Technology Headquarters Building, Chen Xu only came once, took a quick look and left.

Yang Siyan smiled and said, "The above is more beautiful. Let's go, boss, I'll take you to visit."
Chapter completed!
