"There are some big guys in ASML ahead."
"This is Texas Instruments."
"And Philips."
"As for the one on the left... You know, president Zhang of TSMC."
As soon as he entered the seminar, Zhang Rujing introduced a group of big men in the chip field to Chen Yu.
At this time, I probably saw Zhang Rujing, but TSMC Zhang Zhongmou came slowly.
"Chen Yu, you're all right."
Zhang Zhongmou first greeted Chen Yu, and then looked at Zhang Rujing: "Rujing, you're here too."
"President Zhang, how can I not come to such a global conference?"
Although Zhang Rujing was cheated by Zhang Zhongmou, he is introverted and has always been good at hiding the front.
He knew that even if he broke his face with Zhang Zhongmou, it would not do him any good.
"Hehe, I knew you would come."
Zhang Zhongmou said with a smile, "Rujing, you have found a good partner. Your Tianwen chip is very good. However, I think the current production capacity of the center may not keep up with the market demand."
"This doesn't allow Mr. Zhang to worry."
Although Zhang Rujing answered in this way, Zhang Zhongmou looked at Chen Yu: "I think Chen Yu Xiaoyou should have his own judgment."
Obviously.
It doesn't matter if Zhang Rujing refuses.
What matters is Chen Yu's attitude.
Center International is just a foundry. It manufactures chips for others.
In other words, the chips produced are from Huanyu technology.
How many orders can Huanyu technology place for central international, and how many chips can central international produce.
If the international production capacity of the center is insufficient, Huanyu technology may place some orders with TSMC.
"What Mr. Zhang said is that I will consider it."
Chen Yu neither refused nor agreed.
But Zhang Zhongmou was extremely satisfied with this answer.
"Chen Yu, don't be trapped by Zhang Zhongmou."
When Zhang Zhongmou left, Zhang Rujing said with some displeasure.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, we are the alliance."
Chen Yu indicated with his eyes that Zhang Rujing was relieved: "however, sometimes we can't pit him."
After being calculated by Zhang Zhongmou, Chen Yu has been unhappy.
It's not Chen Yu's character to take revenge.
"Oh, Chen Yu, you still have a grudge."
"I'm not a saint. I must take revenge."
Chen Yu said, "last time you were cheated, you actually got up because of me. I'm a little embarrassed when I say it."
"Don't mention the past. It's not your fault at all. If you want to blame, it's our weakness."
Both of them were silent.
How can they not want to revitalize the domestic chip industry when they participate in this global chip development conference.
But they both know that although they have incomparable ambitions, the road ahead is extremely bumpy.
"Well, don't say that. Listen to what they say first."
Pointing to the front, Zhang Rujing said, "this is the chief technology officer of Philips. Their chip technology is very powerful. The ASML in those years was actually separated from Philips."
Chen Yu nodded and listened attentively.
Unfortunately, Chen Yu is not very good at technology.
In addition, although Chen Yu's English is OK, Chen Yu has a big head when it comes to such professional terms.
Sure enough, I knew it was the same as it was not.
Even if I came, I couldn't understand it.
But Zhang Rujing on one side applauded from time to time. Seeing that Chen Yu had something to do, he asked, "how do you feel?"
"No feeling."
"Why don't you feel it?"
"I don't understand."
"This is also true. The technology may be too complicated. After all, you are not a professional chip maker."
"The main reason is that I can't understand what he says in English."
"Poof..."
Zhang Rujing was stunned.
But so is it.
Professional knowledge like this, let alone English, even if English is very awesome, I feel like listening to God's book.
However, since he came, although he didn't understand, Chen Yu didn't leave in advance.
"This is the technology boss of Canon in Japan?"
With the end of the speeches one after another, Chen Yu saw an Asian with yellow skin and black eyes on the podium.
"No, he is a Vietnamese Chinese. His name is Lin Benhan. His ancestors seem to be Hakka. TSMC's technology master has a lot of research in lithography."
"Oh."
Chen Yu nodded.
Isn't the purpose of his coming here to listen to the seminar just for the lithography machine?
Originally, he thought that as long as the lithography machine was involved, it was either the Netherlands, Germany or Japan.
Unexpectedly, there was a Chinese magnate in the field of lithography.
This time, he will listen carefully.
But it's a pity.
Although Lin Benhan can speak Chinese, he still speaks English at such a global seminar.
As before, Chen Yu also felt listening to the heavenly book.
After listening for a long time, Chen Yu only heard dry and wet.
"President Zhang, what does Lin Benhan mean by dry and wet?"
"It's a technical process for producing lithography machines. At present, most of us generally use the dry lithography machine production process. That is, air is used as the medium between the lens and the wafer to make the graphics on the mask image on the wafer. However, Lin Ben feels that a wet process can also be used."
"What is wet?"
"The wet type he said is called the wet type, which is almost the same as the wet type. But the medium used is different. We usually use air now, and Lin Benhan takes water as the wet medium."
"Water?"
Hearing the word water, Chen Yu was a little excited.
I remember my previous life. In fact, at the beginning, the strength of Holland aslm, Germany and several major lithography companies in Japan were almost the same.
The reason why aslm dominated the world later is entirely related to the route chosen by these lithography companies.
At that time, some lithography companies in Japan, Germany, including the United States, made mistakes in route selection.
Aslm has spent a lot of money to open up another production process of lithography machine.
This process involves water, which is the infiltration type mentioned by Lin Benhan now.
"Do you think his craft has a future?"
Chen Yu doesn't know much about technology, but he knows that this is the moment to determine the fate of the lithography machine in the future.
After 2008, more than 90% of the chips produced in the world use the wet lithography process proposed by Lin Benhan. Moreover, it is precisely because Lin Benhan proposed this wet process that the chip has been changed from 190 nm to 130 nm, 90 nm, 65 nm, 40 nm, 28 nm, 20 nm, 16 nm, 10 nm, 7 nm and 5 nm. Even the most cutting-edge 3nm adopts Lin Benhan's wet lithography technology.
"This, I'm not sure. It's possible in theory, but there are still a series of problems to be solved. For example, whether water will produce bubbles, whether water will pollute the equipment, how to be waterproof, water will expand when it meets heat, and the refractive index will change. How to solve this..."
Zhang Rujing told Chen Yushu about the problem faced by this wet lithography process.
However, at this time, Chen Yu's eyes have been fixed on Lin Benhan.
He knows.
In the next few years, none of these problems will become a problem.
If we seize this difficulty, there is hope for China's lithography machine.
