Chapter 707

Holding center international, of course, this is a joke.

Zhang Rujing doesn't want to play online games, and Chen Yu doesn't want to hold the international center.

He has little experience in chip foundry.

At this time, he still has to rely on Zhang Rujing and TSMC.

However, Chen Yu has no idea about the center international, but he is very interested in the upstream industry of chip manufacturing.

As we all know, the beginning of chip manufacturing is chip architecture design.

This one is relatively simple. You just need to design a usable chip architecture.

This is soft technology. You can hit people and money.

Of course, it's simple here. In fact, there is an arm architecture. You need to design, directly take their authorization, and then redevelop on this basis. But it's a little difficult to come up with your own architecture and let everyone around the world use it. But this piece of Huanyu technology has been laid out, and Chen Yu is not particularly worried.

The real concern is chip manufacturing.

Strictly speaking, CIMC and TSMC are not the core manufacturing departments.

In fact, they are not much different from ordinary electronic foundry.

However, they OEM more high-end products, chips.

However, in the process of chip OEM, a series of equipment need to be purchased.

Some other equipment is OK to say.

Such as single crystal furnace, oxidation furnace, polishing machine, etching machine, ion implantation machine... These can be made in China.

The performance can't be said to be the top in the world, but at least it can keep up with the team.

But among them, the lithography machine with the most complex technology can only be imported.

Of course, it does not mean that there is no lithography machine in China. Domestic electronic technology groups and Shanghai Machinery Factory can still produce lithography machines. However, this lithography machine is just in its infancy, and the chips produced can be used on DVDs at most.

High end electronic chips such as mobile phones can only use foreign lithography machines.

Among them, the most cutting-edge and top-notch lithography machine of ASML company in the Netherlands comes from them.

If it is a previous life, it can be said that it is very difficult for Chen Yu to break this situation.

Even if you want to break, you don't know how many years later.

But at present, although the lithography machine of ASML company in the Netherlands is very good, the lithography technology of several other countries is also good.

For example, Nikon's lithography machine in Japan, Canon's lithography machine, pan forest semiconductor in the United States and suss in Germany.

The lithography machines produced by these companies are one of the world's mainstream lithography machines.

As for why the lithography machine of ASML company does not dominate the world, it is entirely because the current mobile phone has not developed to a certain height.

In the era when smart phones haven't appeared, the market generally doesn't have a great demand for mobile phone chips.

This demand is not only quantitative demand, but also qualitative demand.

As now, Huanyu technology has made Tianwen chip.

To be honest, the performance parameters of this Tianwen chip are very general. The only advantage is that it integrates a multimedia system.

However, in the era of functional computers, there are not so high requirements for the performance of chips.

It's no use asking for such a high demand?

The operating system of the function machine is so simple that you can call, take pictures and play a little game at most.

Such an operating system can be developed by an undergraduate.

With such a low-level operating system, he doesn't need high-level chips at all.

Tianwen chip is very popular in such a market.

Meanwhile, as long as Tianwen chip is installed, other mobile phones can be defeated.

Similarly, Central International does not need to import such a powerful lithography machine. It can make such an ordinary Tianwen chip.

But if smart phones appear, smart phones have higher and higher requirements for chip performance. Then, chip manufacturers can only use more sophisticated chips.

Then it's time for Europe and America to pinch your neck.

Chen Yu thought carefully.

At this time, the strength of the major lithography companies is almost the same at present. At most, ASML company is more powerful, but this powerful company is not so powerful. At the same time, these companies have not really entered the field of extreme ultraviolet lithography. The lithography machine developed with this technology is the most cutting-edge EUV lithography machine in the past.

If Chen Yu enters at this time, he really has a little hope.

……

"Dean, I have something to discuss with you."

"OK, I'll come to your office."

After receiving Chen Yu's call, Li Biqing rushed to Chen Yu's office at the first time.

Li Biqing knew that generally speaking, Chen Yu would not look for him.

There must be something important to find him.

"Chen Yu, what's up?"

As soon as he entered the door, Li Biqing asked.

"Dean, why are you so serious? Come on, have a drink first."

"Your boy, you didn't ask me to come here for tea."

"Of course it's something, but don't be so serious."

At this time, President Li Biqing has no specific responsibility in Huanyu technology.

He Tingbo is responsible for the chip. More often, Li Biqing acts as a senior technical consultant for Huanyu technology.

For example, the layout of the chip and handling a small number of public relations affairs.

"Come on, if you don't, I'm not interested in drinking tea."

"Dean, you are really..."

Chen Yu can't help Li Biqing.

"In fact, there is nothing. Dean, have you studied lithography?"

"There's a fart study."

Li Biqing shook his head directly: "I am a retired Dean of the computer department of Shencheng University. Do you think I have research on all technologies?"

"Well, Dean, I'm just asking you what you think of the lithography machine."

"If you think about lithography, that's pretty much the same."

Li Biqing said, "why, Chen Yu, do you want to make an idea of a lithography machine?"

"I called Zhang Rujing in front. He said that he spent hundreds of millions just buying a lithography machine. I don't love money. If we can get a lithography machine, do you think these hundreds of millions will be saved?"

"I'll go. You have a big appetite. You want to build a lithography machine."

Li Biqing was extremely surprised.

It's just that Chen Yu wants to make chips and operating systems.

It seems understandable to engage in the upstream industry lithography related to chips.

"I think forget it. There is too much difference between us and foreign countries in lithography technology. We just want to do it, and there is no play."

Although there is not much technical research on the lithography machine, Li Biqing still knows about the lithography machine.

"Dean, the difference between us and foreign countries is too big, so I want to do it. If the difference is not big, I don't want to do it."

Chen Yu's thinking has always been different from others.

Li Biqing originally wanted to persuade Chen Yu, but suddenly he felt that Chen Yu's words were really reasonable.

"That's reasonable, but this one is not so easy to enter. I'll contact several domestic enterprises manufacturing lithography machines later."

"No, I'm not interested in them."

It's not that Chen Yu is really not interested in those enterprises, but that Chen Yu knows.

Even in the previous life of 2020, these enterprises have not produced a decent lithography machine.

"What do you mean?"

Li Biqing asked puzzled.

"I mean, look at some foreign lithography enterprises. Do they need to invest?"

"Investment... Chen Yu, if you come again, how can you get so much money. These lithography enterprises have to invest tens of billions of dollars at any time. You still owe so much foreign debt, bank and Central International. In addition, the chip is still under development and research. Don't make the stall too big. If the capital can't be turned around at that time, the problem will be big."

In fact, Li Biqing is also worried about huanding technology.

There was no problem with the Internet.

There's no problem switching from the Internet to mobile phones.

But from mobile phone to chip, from mobile phone to operating system, to computer, to chip OEM... Although it can't be said that there is a problem. But at least, these require huge funds. Moreover, each of these areas requires huge investment, but it is difficult to get any return in the early stage.

Like the OEM business of Central International, although the current business of Central International is so good, it has not made money.

Not only did they not make money, but they also lost money.

An expansion of production capacity will cost 3 billion.

In the future, technology upgrading will have to be carried out. I don't know how much investment there is.

When you really make money, you don't know it's monkey years and horses.

Chen Yu naturally knows this.

Seeing Li Biqing's worry, Chen Yu said, "Dean, you don't have to worry about capital. Since I want to enter these fields, I naturally have a way to raise money. Otherwise, I also know that if I step too far, it's easy to pull the egg."

"Pull the egg... You boy, swear in front of my old man."

Li Biqing smiled and scolded.

"Well, Dean, that's what it means anyway."

"Now that you have considered it clearly, I can help you understand it first. However, don't have too many ideas. Foreign companies that can produce lithography machines are one in Japan, one in Germany and the other in the Netherlands... Even if you have money, they may not accept your investment."

"This is not necessarily. Let's see how the market is."

"OK."

Discuss with Li Biqing.

Chen Yu went to the Huanyu technology game department.

At present, Huanyu technology has some great financial pressure. Chen Yu attaches great importance to the game.

Although he has made a lot of money now, Chen Yu thinks he can make more money.

The way to make money is the most classic strategy in the game: encircling the city from the countryside.
