Chapter 2285 PHS and lithography machine
Jiang Wanxia and Hu Zhibiao sat down for a while, and both got up and said goodbye and went back.
Yang Fei sent them to the door and said goodbye to them.
"Boss, please stay, we're leaving." Hu Zhibiao laughed.
Yang Fei watched them get into the car and then turned around and came back.
This trip to the city was not long.
He came for the yield rate of his mobile phone, and he also inspected the mall and other branches.
Regarding mobile phone production, before Hu Zhibiao left, he mentioned Xiao Lingtong's production and sales with Yang Fei.
Xiao Lingtong is indeed becoming popular now!
No one expected that this communication device, which is not a mobile phone, would develop so rapidly in China that the user base has quickly increased to millions.
In fact, Yang Fei also knew that if you want to be a Little Lingtong, this year is the best year.
In the next five years, it can be said that Xiaolingtong will develop the largest number of years and has the largest market share.
It can be foreseen that within five years, Xiaolingtong's users will increase by tenfold!
However, Xiaolingtong is a product of a special period, and a helpless move by Telecom and Netcom that year did not have mobile licenses. However, before 3G was launched, it also seized a large number of users for operators.
Moreover, the shortcomings of Xiao Lingtong are also obvious.
First, there are fewer functions.
Xiaolingtong has fewer auxiliary functions, and early short messages can only be sent between Xiaolingtong, browsing the Internet, mobile games and many fashionable new functions will be improved in the later stage.
The second is poor coverage.
The network coverage is poor, generally limited to urban areas, with poor signal; there are few base stations, poor calls in local areas of the city, and even more unable to call when there is a power outage.
Third, poor performance.
The vehicle speed exceeds 40 kilometers, and the call is intermittent. Although Japan is constantly improving its technology, it is basically no longer developing in China.
Fourth, you cannot roam.
Xiaolingtong cannot roam the country like a mobile phone, so it can only be a "supplement and extension of landlines", and there is always a gap between it and mobile phones in terms of function.
Another point is that Beijing and Shanghai, the two largest cities, have not yet opened access to Xiaolingtong.
A product that knows that it is very short-lived, Yang Fei is considering whether to enter the market?
It is okay to take a bite and leave. If there is a protracted battle, there will definitely be no need to fight.
It is easy to enter the market, but it is difficult to leave the market!
Because Yang Fei wants to run Aido Company, he is preparing for long-term development.
Of course, Hu Zhibiao mentioned that a new brand can be built to develop Xiaolingtong.
Yang Fei did not comment on this.
Because he didn't know whether Xiao Lingtong could get through this muddy water?
As far as he knows, Huawei, the number one player in the mobile phone industry, was also a seven-year-old Little Lingtong, but failed in it, so that President Ren was so scared when talking about mobile phones. Later, he did not dare to involve the mobile phone production field casually. He even made a harsh statement: If anyone dares to mention producing a mobile phone to me, I will fire anyone!
Fortunately, there are many talented people around Mr. Ren. Some people are unique in their eyes and good at eloquence. In the end, they convinced Mr. Ren to invest billions to develop mobile phones, which led to the world's praise for Huawei mobile phones.
Yang Fei experienced the mobile phone war in later generations, so he still has some understanding of the various ups and downs on the road to mobile phone development.
A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.
Although Xiao Lingtong is a piece of fat, Yang Fei is not jealous.
It is impossible for a person to eat all the business.
If you really want to get all the benefits, you may bring disaster again.
Therefore, Yang Fei is not optimistic about entering the Xiaolingtong field.
As long as Aido Company can make the mobile phone product well, it will be its greatest success.
Making money is a long-term thing, don’t just focus on the immediate interests.
The little spiritual communication is quick to prosper, and the defeat is quick to defeat!
If you are not careful, you will be swallowed by the market.
Although Yang Fei is a veteran, he is not confident and can completely accurately control the entire process, and it is even more impossible to ensure that a company only makes profits and does not lose money.
With this time and energy, Yang Fei would rather devote himself to the mobile phone-related industries.
However, although the cake on mobile phones is very large, there are many and deep pits.
As we all know, the most core product of mobile phones is chips.
The research and development and manufacturing of chips integrate today's first-class technologies in various disciplines and cannot be produced by any family or enterprise.
A chip needs to be produced through 2,000 to 5,000 of the most stringent processes, and the most important process needs to be achieved through a lithography machine.
It can be said that lithography is the link between manufacturing and design.
Many of the processes for the production of mobile phone chips are carried out in independent factories, and the equipment used also needs to be manufactured by special equipment factories; the materials used include hundreds of special gases, liquids, and targets, all require special chemical industry.
In addition, the production of integrated circuits is carried out in ultra-clean rooms, so systems such as exhaust air and air purification are also required.
There are some sayings that integrated circuits are higher-tech than aerospace.
The reliability of aerospace is estimated to be 4 9s, 5 9s, and 9s, which means that during the use of the software system for one year, the ratio of the normal use time to the total time of the system. The purity of silicon wafer materials is 6 9s or more.
Global chips are almost monopolized by the United States, Japan and Europe.
According to a report from the Foresight Research Institute, global chips are still mainly dominated by American, Japanese and European companies, and the high-end market is almost monopolized by these three main regions.
In the field of high-end chips, since domestic manufacturers have not yet formed scale effects and cluster effects, their production is still dominated by the "foundry" model.
Moreover, even if domestic manufacturers can independently develop chips, they do not have the ability to produce them.
The lithography machine, named MaskAligner in English, is also known as: mask alignment exposure machine, exposure system, lithography system, etc., is the core equipment for manufacturing chips.
It uses a technique similar to photo printing to print fine graphics on the mask plate onto the silicon wafer through exposure of light.
Exposure machines are the core equipment for the production of large-scale integrated circuits. Manufacturing and maintenance requires a high degree of optical and electronic industrial foundation, which is mastered by only a few manufacturers in the world. Therefore, exposure machines are expensive, usually ranging from 30 million to 500 million US dollars.
High-end projection lithography machines can be divided into two types: stepper projection and scanning projection lithography machines, with resolutions usually between seven nanometers and a few micrometers. High-end lithography machines are known as the most precise instrument in the world, and there are already 120 million US dollars per lithography machine in the world.
High-end lithography machines can be called the flower of modern optical industry. The manufacturing difficulty is so high that only a few companies in the world can manufacture them.
Foreign brands are mainly ASMAEL from the Netherlands, which is A**L. Their lenses come from Germany, and Nikon Nikon. Intel has purchased Nikon's high-end lithography machines and Canon Canon.
And only the Dutch A**L who can laugh to the end is left.
Domestic mobile phone manufacturers, at best, are just to do assembly tasks.
Of course, assembly work is also very promising, and it also has a lot of technical work. If done well, the company can still become bigger and stronger.
However, the chip is in the hands of others. Once others cut off the supply, you will have no core and will not be able to create a mobile phone. The higher you rush, the worse you will fall.
What Yang Fei wanted to do was not a flash in the pan, but a lithography machine for the future layout!
As for how to do it, Yang Fei is already in the process of making the arrangement!
