Since domestic chip manufacturing companies have been engaged in the production of low-end products before, the demand for high-end lithography machines is a bit embarrassing.

After all, it is impossible to buy a top-level lithography machine for 1.5 billion to produce low-end chips! High-end chips cannot be designed in a short time.

For a time, they were also weighing the pros and cons. After all, a chip production line not only requires a lithography machine, but also a series of other equipment.

This is a large amount of money, and they cannot be careless.

Go to Shanghai.

Microelectronics Equipment Group is the only lithography machine research and development and production company in China before.

At this time, a intensive negotiation is underway.

There are four parties involved in the negotiations, namely Shanghu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Microelectronics, and parent company Shanghu Electric and Siwei Society.

Cai Zhixing and Gao Zhiyuan came to Shanghai to participate in this negotiation on behalf of Siwei Society.

The reason for this negotiation is mainly because Huang Mingzhe hopes that Microelectronics can carry out a restructuring. Microelectronics' products are lithography machines above 100 nanometers, and the 40-nanometer lithography machine under development is also a half-dead state.

The reason why this company survived was mainly because the country was worried that Westerners would cut off supply of lithography machines and used the money to create backup plans.

However, with the rise of Shenguang Instrument Company, the role of microelectronics is already minimal.

"Mr. Cai, if reorganization is carried out, how should microelectronics be reorganized?" asked Qin He, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

"Our plan is to be supervised by the private sector. In terms of equity division, Siwei Society requires 40% and management rights. The official can send personnel to supervise financial and major events, but it cannot interfere with daily management."

After Cai Zhixing finished speaking, he took out another drafted rights and obligation clause, and the assistant beside him copied the documents and handed them to everyone present.

Qin He looked through pages and found that from the documents, Siwei Club made many concessions, but also many requirements.

For example, the state-owned assets of Microelectronics will no longer be affiliated with Shangshanghai Electric and other state-owned units, but will be directly affiliated with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

In addition, very detailed regulations and divisions are made on the possible situations in management. This is a very strict management model, mainly to avoid excessive interference in the company's daily management.

Especially in terms of personnel appointments and removals, salary and rewards, the Mind Society will not allow those people to do it.

In fact, simply put, it is equivalent to the official selling microelectronics to Siweishe, but the official holds 60% of the B-shares.

In this case, it is indeed a test for the SASAC and Shangshanghai Electric. After more than a week of negotiations, the plan was finally implemented.

March 16.

Sifang completed the transfer of shares, and Siweishe immediately carried out drastic reforms to the microelectronics company.

Gao Zhiyuan didn't expect that after walking around, he finally became the boss of Microelectronics. He could only say that luck was a mess.

At the internal microelectronics conference.

Thousands of people under the table on Gao Zhiyuan were black and yelling: "Many people know me, but I'll introduce myself. My name is Gao Zhiyuan, and I'm very happy to come here."

Papa... Regardless of whether you are willing, the applause continued to sound.

"I won't speak official language anymore. The rules of microelectronics will be changed in the future. Those who want to eat a big pot, those who want to fill their pockets, and those who want to work hard can think about the consequences." Gao Zhiyuan seemed murderous when he said this.

Many people below have looked ugly, especially those who have ghosts in their hearts.

After Gao Zhiyuan held a meeting, he took the file bag given to him by Huang Mingzhe and cleaned the borers and rats in the microelectronics.

Then some managers were transferred from the Shenguang Instrument to fill it, and the personnel recruited from outside were greatly improved.

After taking down microelectronics, Shenguang Instruments will use microelectronics to produce low-end x-ray lithography machines.

Shenguang Instruments concentrates on the research and development and manufacturing of high-end lithography machines, and provides comprehensive coverage of the lithography machine market.

...

In order to meet the needs of companies such as Unigroup, Huada Semiconductor and Yangtze Storage, Shenguang Instruments launched the Shenguang 0.5x-ray lithography machine in mid-March.

The Divine Light 0.5x-ray lithography machine mainly has three models: 12 nanometers, 14 nanometers and 16 nanometers.

Since there are already top lithography machines of 10 to 2 nanometers, it is very handy to produce high-end lithography machines now.

Shenguang Instruments only need to consider how to reduce costs and reduce accuracy, mainly for those lenses, electronic controls, and detection equipment, which can reduce costs.

In addition, due to the development of top lithography machines, R&D costs have also dropped significantly.

The top version comes out first, and then develops a low-end version. I can only say that this weird model is the first time everyone has encountered it.

After comprehensive evaluation, the Shenguang 0.5-12x-ray lithography machine (12nm level) is priced at 800 million; the Shenguang 0.5-14x-ray lithography machine (14nm level) is priced at 600 million; the Shenguang 0.5-16x-ray lithography machine (16nm level) is priced at 400 million.

Although there was only design plan and no prototype was produced, the Shenguang 0.5x-ray lithography machine was immediately popular among domestic companies as soon as it was announced.

Unigroup, Huada Semiconductor, Yangtze Memory and the previous SMIC immediately booked a lot of orders.

The three models of Shenguang 0.5x-ray lithography machine have received a total of 24.6 billion orders, and these orders have been scheduled to 2014.

In addition, HiSilicon Company and Zhang Rujing, who has just returned from the mountain, are also negotiating with Shenguang Instruments to prepare to purchase a lithography machine.

...

The capital of Hubei Province - Jiangcheng.

Everyone at SMIC's chip factory was very nervous, even President Zhao Jun and Chief Technology Executive Li Weiguang were present in person.

The engineers of Shenguang Instruments are installing a lithography machine, which is the second Shenguang 1x-ray lithography machine produced by Shenguang Instruments Company and the first lithography machine officially delivered and used.

After buying a precision equipment like a lithography machine, there is no way to use it immediately. Without the adjustments made by the original engineer, chip manufacturing companies dare not do anything randomly.

All lithography machines sold by Asmay not only do not allow chip manufacturing companies to change their parameters and locations randomly, but also install positioning systems and networked monitoring.

In other words, the chips, chip design drawings, parameters produced by chip manufacturing companies are all clear.

The same is true for the divine light instruments.

After the engineer adjusted for three days, the lithography machine was finally ready for trial operation.

"Thank you very much." Zhao Jun quickly signaled to his assistant, who gave more than a dozen engineers a red envelope.

"Then thank you Mr. Zhao." The engineer captain smiled and took the red envelope. This kind of red envelope thinking society does not prohibit it, but if you receive it, you must register with the Finance Department.

The trial operation began, but the engineers of Shenguang Instruments still left five people, because the chip production line is not only lithography machines, but also other equipment, and the lithography machines must continue to be adjusted during the trial operation.

Li Weiguang personally led the people to constantly test and adjust the production line.

As a top lithography machine, Shenguang Instrument Company has given a backward compatibility benefit, that is, it can not only produce chips of 10-7 nanometer levels, but also chips of 30-10 nanometer levels.

SMIC now has only a 16-nanometer overall process, so it can only kill chickens with a stinger.
Chapter completed!
