However, the process technology of semiconductors is developing amazingly, and micron technology is about to be eliminated. In 2001, human beings officially entered the era of semiconductor nanoprocessing, and one nanometer is one thousandth of that of micrometer!

As semiconductor process technology entered the nano level, a new term "nanomanufacturing" has also become a popular high-tech term in the world. In the 1970s, scientists began to propose ideas about nanotechnology from different angles, imagining the construction of new scientific experimental systems at the molecular or atomic level. In 1974, scientist Donnikoci first used the term nanotechnology to describe his imagination of precision mechanical processing in his mind, and then began to introduce nano concepts in the fields of semiconductors and biological sciences.

In 1982, scientists invented the scanning tunnel electron microscope, an important tool for studying nano phenomena and operating them, which revealed to the public atomic and molecular worlds presented by scanning tunnel electron microscopes, and produced a milestone promotion effect for the practical use of nanotechnology.

With this tool, the first International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology was held in Baltimore, USA in July 1990, marking the official birth of nanoscience as a top scientific discipline. Subsequently, scientists around the world invested huge amounts of money and energy to achieve results in nanotechnology at the atomic level. Now this technology has finally left the laboratory and entered the field of practical manufacturing.

In terms of nanotechnology, there is not much difference between the domestic and international ones. In 1989, Stanford University used a scanning tunnel electron microscope to move away atomic groups and "write" the English name of Stanford University. In 1990, the American International Commercial Machinery Company used 36 xenon atoms to discharge "ibm" on the nickel surface. For the huge prospects of this technology, domestic knowledgeable people also caught up. Soon, the Beijing Vacuum Physics Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a scanning tunnel electron microscope to successfully write the word "China", indicating that China began to occupy a place in the international nanotechnology field.

Since nanotechnology involves the operation of single molecules and atoms, traditional macrophysics and chemical theories have been greatly challenged. Given that nanotechnology has extremely broad application prospects in industries such as materials, semiconductors, biology, and precision machinery, major countries around the world have shown great enthusiasm for nanotechnology in order to compete for a place in the high-tech field in the new century.

Many countries regard nanotechnology as the basic research of the country and invested heavily, so that a trend of pursuing nano concepts has emerged in China. Many private companies want to attract loans and sponsorships, and say that their products use nanotechnology. As a result, they even make toothpaste, wok, and beauty cream, as long as they are mixed with nano, they all claim to be nano products.

In fact, nanotechnology needs to be researched with huge perseverance and huge investment in atomic operation. Only a few international scientific and technological powers can achieve results. At the International Nano Conference, the four major major fields with the most potential for nano development, namely nanomaterials, nanodynamics, nanobiology and pharmacology, and nanoelectronics. What is truly industrialized is still the only field of nanoelectronics. Other so-called "nanotechnology" applications are just hype.

Scanning tunnel electron microscopes are themselves high-tech microelectronics products. Scientists have found that it can not only be used to observe microscopic things, but also simply use it to write, but also manipulate individual atoms to move and use "spray atoms" to process and manufacture tiny instruments.

Using molecular beam epilongation growth technology, scientists have obtained the method of making extremely thin special crystal films, creating only one layer of molecules at a time. This technology has been used on computer hard disk reading and writing heads. In addition, graphene, which is now popular, is actually a nanotechnology product used to make new material carbon nanotubes.

The most widely used nanotechnology in the electronics industry is semiconductor processes. The current development trend of electronic technology requires that devices and systems be smaller, faster and cooler. Needless to say, faster requires that semiconductor response speed should be faster, and colder means that the power consumption of a single device should be small. Now when electron beam lithography processes ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, the accuracy of 1 nanometer line width can be achieved; ion etching technology can achieve the removal of micron- and nanometer-level surface materials: scanning tunnel emblem technology can achieve the removal, twisting, addition and atom reorganization of individual atoms, which provides the possibility to achieve smaller, faster and colder semiconductors.

Because these technologies are too high-end, the manufacturing of instruments responsible for process manufacturing in the semiconductor field has always been in the hands of a few major electronic technology countries such as the United States, Germany and Japan. Even Taiwan, which has always claimed to be a world-renowned electronics manufacturer, had to wait for Japanese technicians to repair and debug the machines after the Taiwan earthquake. As a result, a few days of delays caused a chain reaction in the global semiconductor industry, giving Zhang Shengli and Yang Xingke the opportunity to not only hype memory sticks and make money, but also robbed orders from Taiwanese manufacturers, making Nebula Electronics successfully join the ranks of international electronic manufacturers.

Visitors to the 12-inch wafer factory of Nebula Electronics noticed through the thick observation window that in the clean wafer factory, busy workers were using automated high-precision instruments to cut wafers, preparing for the next step of producing chips, memory, etc., and many of them were printed on the surface of the 12-inch wafer equipment. Zhongxing Group and Xingchen Manufacturing, Nebula Electronics' corporate logo, which means that the nanotechnology that was previously controlled by Western countries has been mastered by Zhongxing Group.

Contact the factory fully automated production line I just saw and the chips, memory, memory cards and other products exhibited at the World Congress, which means that the three major indicators of high-end manufacturing, precision processing, CNC automation and design and research and development have been quietly broken by Zhongxing Group. Although Zhongxing's manufacturing level is still far from companies specializing in a certain technology, Zhongxingsheng seems to have all been involved in the fields of comprehensive technology and high-tech processing.

Once China Star leads to break through the technical difficulties and transfer non-core patents to domestic supporting enterprises, once such a technological monster grows up, it cannot be restricted by technical barriers. Combined with China's unique low labor cost advantage, the prospects are really that will make Western manufacturing competitors not optimistic.

And how did all this be done under the Western technology blockade against China? Many competitors carefully recalled Yang Xing's little things along the way before they suddenly realized that every step of this young man had a deep meaning. With the help of the Asian financial storm, he accumulated strength, mastered a large amount of liquidity, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the storm to severely hit Japanese and Korean companies to acquire Japanese and Korean manufacturing giants. The 10 billion dollar cooperation agreement reached with Hitachi and swallowed South Korea's Daewoo Group were all efforts to break through the technology blockade.

When Zhongxing first started the wafer production line, it was difficult to obtain even a six-inch wafer production line. Now, not only is the twelve-inch wafer production line started to be built, but most of the wafer production equipment can be produced by itself, which is meaningless to blockade of Zhongxing technology. And its breakthrough in nanotechnology is far beyond everyone's expectations. The representative of Taiwan's largest wafer foundry TSMC saw that the circuit boards that reached the nanoprocessing level in the wafer factory were unlucky, and it was obviously difficult to accept the fact that the opponent was one step ahead of him.

If the technical strength demonstrated by Zhongxing at the World Congress made the Japanese worried, the announcements of the newly formed National Strategic Resources Administration, in conjunction with many domestic resource suppliers such as Xingwei Resources, shocked Japanese manufacturers. The National Strategic Resources Administration officially announced that the restructuring of the domestic rare earth industry has basically ended. In view of the situation where the domestic rare earths are heavy in the south and light in the north, the State Council decided to form two major rare earth industry alliances, one in the south and one in the north. Among them, the Northern Rare Earth Group was relatively smooth due to the intervention of the military and large enterprises, while a great storm broke out during the establishment of the Southern Rare Earth Group.

Although the rare earth reserves in the five southern provinces of my country are only about 1.5 million tons, most of them are very precious medium and heavy rare earths, especially Jiangxi Province, with the highest quality rare earth quality. However, the national rare earth mining indicators given to Jiangxi every year are only 8,500 tons, and the survey found that Jiangxi's rare earth production is more than 30,000 tons per year, of which 20,000 tons are naturally stolen. Because the cost of digging rare earths is very low, you only need to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan after finding the mine, and you can make a profit of one million yuan in one month. Many people with gang backgrounds cannot withstand the temptation of this high profit, stole rare earth mines, and do their best to bribe officials at all levels to act as protective umbrellas.

However, the National Strategic Resources Administration, which understands the importance of rare earth resources, took a heavy blow and cracked down on a large rare earth gang in a city where rare earth concentrations were concentrated. Dozens of political officials, including the mayor, were arrested, and the underworld group that had been entrenched for many years was disintegrated and eliminated. Several leaders were sentenced to shooting and life imprisonment, effectively curbing the local trend of rare earth stolen.

When checking the flow of local rare earth stolen harvests, many domestic units noticed that a company called Mitsui Products contributed to the fire behind the scenes of rare earth stolen harvests. Since China is the world's largest rare earth country and its neighbor Japan has no rare earth resources, Japan naturally became the main target of China's rare earth exports. Statistics show that Japan's 83 rare earths all come from China, and after Japan obtains a large amount of rare earths, in addition to using them, it will also store the rare earth resources that have been used for 20 years on the seabed to make reserves for future generations to use.

After Mitsui Products established its first office in Beijing in 1980, it began to penetrate deeply into the domestic mineral market. Japanese Mitsui institutions in China at all levels have condoned and promoted domestic rare earth mining through various legal trade behaviors, and set up factories in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia to conduct rare earth re-export trade through various foreign trade channels. In order to deal with the strengthening supervision of the rare earth industry in China, Mitsui Products’ brilliant method is to import a large amount of special broken glass from China to extract the rare earth elements contained in it.
