Chapter 1404

With 100 million US dollars in place, Huaqing Computer Research Institute ushered in the busiest time since its establishment.

For two whole days, no one has been idle since Li Xueqian, director of the Institute, and down to ordinary researchers.

Everyone is preparing for the coming transformation.

Lithography machine, a necessity of computer chip manufacturing, once the transformation is successful, Huaxia's chip manufacturing level will make breakthrough progress.

In the laboratory, Li Xueqian pushed in the door and brought good news to Lin Qinglan.

"Professor Lin, we have contacted the ASML supplier kemais, who has promised to provide us with parts. Now the parts are on the way and are expected to arrive in Huaxia this afternoon." Li Xueqian said with a smile.

In order to get these parts and components as soon as possible, Li Xueqian can be said to have spent $65 million on the parts. He spent an extra $5 million to get the parts quickly and complete the research.

It's true that money can't buy time, but money can shorten it.

Hearing the speech, Lin Qinglan nodded and picked up the folder on the experimental platform: "Professor Li, this is the transformation plan that I have come to sort out these two days. Look, if we can, we will implement it in this way."

"No, no, I'm a layman for lithography technology. You are the expert in this field." Li Xueqian waved his hand and said with a smile, "we will do what you say."

Li Xueqian is an expert in computer materials science, but he doesn't know much about lithography.

In this regard, Lin Qinglan is the expert among the experts.

"Well, Professor Li, I'll give you a brief account to see if there is any improvement." Lin Qinglan nodded and said with a smile: "this time, we mainly improve the light frequency of the lithography machine, as well as the optical lens and alignment system and other parts. In an ideal situation, once the transformation is successful, this infrared lithography machine can be transformed into a UV photolithography machine, and its accuracy can be greatly improved..."

Infrared light source, one of the first generation products of ASML company, but with the increasing demand for chips, infrared light source recording has been unable to meet the needs of manufacturing industry, followed by ultraviolet light source, which has high energy, can greatly improve the accuracy of recording.

Due to the international blockade, let alone ultraviolet light source, even an infrared light source lithography machine is extremely rare in China.

A UV light source lithography machine, which Li Xueqian did not dare to think of.

"Professor Lin, can we really have our own UV light source lithography machine?" Li Xueqian tried to resist the excitement in his heart and cautiously tried.

"If I'm right, I think so." Smell speech, Lin Qinglan nodded.

As the chief researcher of ASML, I worked for ASML for 6 years and participated in the iterative work of all products of ASML.

He is familiar with every detail of the lithography upgrade.

If her plan doesn't go wrong, the upgrade should go well.

"Thank you. Thank you, Professor Lin. Huaxia will remember your contribution." Li Xueqian said excitedly.
