In an office, Zhang Dongning and Anron met with Mr. Seg Holden, senior technical consultant of Intel.

Compared with the generally younger team in Silicon Valley, Intel, a veteran technology company, has a relatively large average personnel age.

Mr. Holden is in his forties and is getting fat. His desk is full of family photos taken by him, his wife, and his two daughters at Disney.

Through his mentor at MIT, Anron contacted Mr. Holden, who is also a graduate of Massachusetts and a senior at the same school as Anron.

Mr. Horton has long heard of this genius who received a double doctorate in Massachusetts at the age of 23.

There is another reason, which is that Mr. Holden attaches great importance to Enron, that is, Xingchen Technology represented by Enron.

Nowadays, anyone who is involved in the technology circle knows the name of this Chinese company. Their successive achievements this year can be described as miracles. Not only has it shocked the Chinese technology circle, but it has also caused a serious sense of crisis to Silicon Valley across the distant Pacific Ocean.

Mr. Holden and An Ran talked about their professors at MIT. After sighing about their careers in that year, they turned to the topic.

An Ran took out an English version of the test report and placed it on Mr. Holden's desk.

"There are all rumored in the technology circle. Xingchen Technology wants to be the upstream semiconductors. It seems that this should be your research result." Mr. Horton said politely.

"Please give me some advice," An Ran said.

Mr. Holden quickly looked through the report, and after his eyes were fixed on a string of complicated data, he could never take it back.

The facial expression changed little by little, becoming more and more serious. After he read the last few pages and fully synthesized photoresist's actual measurement data, An Ran noticed that his legs were shaking rapidly under the desk.

Mr. Holden pulled out a tissue from the tissue box and wiped his forehead.

"So that's how it is..." He sighed, then stood up suddenly and walked out with the report, "You two, wait for a moment, I'll go and invite cto."

An Ran nodded, cto means the chief technology officer, the big boss in R&D.

Currently, Intel's chief technology officer is Dr. Mike Marbury, who is also the head of Intel Labs, specializing in quantum computing, neural computing, and semiconductor research and development.

How high is Dr. Marbury's status in Intel?

Before him, the position of CTO was vacant for five years, because there were too many big names in this company. It was difficult for anyone to take this position to convince the public. It was not until Dr. Marbury took over that Intel finally had a leader in R&D.

"It seems there is a chance." Zhang Dongning and An Ran looked at each other and whispered, An Ran nodded slightly.

It was not long since Dr. Marbury, who had silver hair, came to the office. His face was kind and had a bit of a female appearance. When he smiled, the corners of his mouth would rise sharply.

After all, in the technology world, most of the time it is still a gentle technical occupant. Companies like Star Technology are actually quite rare.

At present, An Ran and Zhang Dongning walked like the wind. An Ran, who was originally thin, had started to exercise for more than three months and had a small muscle mass on his arms.

The meeting between the president of Star Technology hardware and Intel's chief technology officer, the super big bosses of the two companies, was unexpectedly accompanied by a little gunpowder smell.

Mr. Marbury did not directly mention the photoresist, but talked about his most concerned issue, energy wave wireless charging.

Since Xingchen Technology launched the epoch-making super wireless charging, it has set off a butterfly effect, and the whole world is accelerating research to try to catch up with Xingchen Technology's footsteps in this regard.

However, so far, no second company has been able to succeed.

Although Mr. Marbury has a good temper, he holds his breath in his heart. He doesn't understand why with Intel's strength, he can't create a wireless charging module like Star Technology?

Marbury and Anran spoke very quickly. Anran's fluent English surprised Zhang Dongning who came with him. Zhang Dongning was also a genius and could speak fluent English and German. Anran's English level was obviously several levels higher than him.

Marbury has read the latest December issue of Star Journal. He and An Ran had a fierce confrontation over the fluctuations in the energy field.

An Ran had long been accustomed to this level of confrontation, because when he was in the company, Luo Jia would always pull him up and brainstorm.

Luo Jia will gather the smartest brains of the company, and everyone is fully thrust. The crazy thinking intensity is definitely not comparable to office-level conversations like today.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the tough guy group, Xingchen Technology's higher-level brainstorming group has gradually gained fame and has become the target of imitation by countless technology companies.

After a while, the high-speed conversation between the two gradually eased.

People with technical backgrounds have relatively simple thinking. If you want to gain the respect and trust of the other party, please show your true skills.

Marbury finally understood that the young man with dark hair and dark eyes was much stronger than he thought.

At this time, Holden added another sentence next to it, "Mr. Enron is my alumnus in Massachusetts. He was only twenty-three years old when he obtained a doctorate in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering."

Marbury was slightly stunned, and the look that looked at An Ran, there was a significant change.

The United States is different from my country. It is easy to enter and exit colleges, but it is difficult to graduate. An Ran is able to obtain a double doctorate degree at the age of 23. He is definitely a genius among geniuses.

Dr. Marbury turned his attention to the photoresist detection report on the table. He had already read the content of the report, a fully synthetic modified photocolloid.

According to research by Xingchen Technology, if semiconductor factories use this new photoresist, they can increase the chip yield by 2%.

For all semiconductor factories, yield rate is the most troublesome problem.

When the chip is made by the wafer fab, it will enter the testing stage. The engineer will use the ate automatic tester to run the program given by the chip design party and divide the chip into two parts: good and bad.

If the bad ones cannot be used, they will naturally be abandoned directly. Every time a chip is discarded, it is money!

After passing the test, the wafer will be cut and sent to the packaging factory for system-level testing, that is, Slt. During this process, scrap will still be detected and a second discard will be performed.

Moreover, as the process grade increases, the yield rate is getting lower and lower. This is an objective law that the semiconductor industry cannot avoid. Even Moore's Law has its limits, let alone complex semiconductor manufacturing.

Anyway, for those engaged in the semiconductor industry, how to improve the photoetching accuracy and thus improve the yield rate is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

Let me put it this way, if the yield rate of which semiconductor factory can exceed 90%, it will basically set off firecrackers for three days and three nights to celebrate wildly.

Although the newly developed photoresist of Xingchen Technology has only increased the yield rate by 2% on average, the value of this two percent is even more expensive than gold!

When the technology is approaching its limit, it can still increase by 2%. Every year, Intel sells hundreds of millions of various chips around the world, and two percent, but only hundreds of millions of chips!

However, as an American company and a giant in the global semiconductor industry, it is not easy to convince Intel to believe in a Chinese company, so this home visit between An Ran and Zhang Dongning was made.

"We will arrange the test as soon as possible," said Dr. Marbury.

"But it's Christmas holiday soon." Holden frowned.

Americans attach great importance to Christmas, which is the biggest festival of the year, equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. It is very inhumane to ask employees to work overtime during Christmas.

Dr. Marbury's eyes firmly looked, "Our largest overseas factory is in Malaysia. They are only Christmas, so they are there to test."

An Ran and Zhang Dongning looked at each other. It was not easy to get to this point in the context of the increasingly serious game between great powers.

If Xingchen Technology had not had the excellent photoresist performance, it would have been impossible to enter Intel's supply chain.

An Ran and Zhang Dongning stood up and shook hands with Dr. Marbury to say goodbye.

When they walked out of Intel Building, the sunshine in California was still bright. They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling endless comfort all over their bodies.

Unlike the four Xinyang companies that are fighting from low to high, Xingchen Technology is fighting from high to low, and directly attacking Tianwangshan, Intel Corporation, the semiconductor industry! Collect Xinyue Chemical is the base camp of those international giants!
