Reborn 80s

The back-end lithography machine is mainly used for chip packaging and LED production.

Mota Microelectronics' technical strength in back-end lithography machines is naturally transmitted to industrial development.

For example, Jingfang Company!

Jingfang Company is the number one LCD panel manufacturer in the world. This number one is not only the number one in production, but also the number one in technology.

In addition to producing LCD panels, Jingfang also produces displays, which occupy a fairly high market share in both domestic and foreign markets.

Of course, the core of Jingfang Company is still in the production of LCD panels.

Compared with Neon's enterprises that are hesitant about plasma technology and liquid crystal technology, Jingfang Company is fully focused on liquid crystal technology.

All the company's resources are also focused on liquid crystal technology.

Jingfang Company is a listed company, a listed company that will raise funds on the stock market every one or two years.

With continuous financing, Jingfang Company has also ensured its layout in R&D and new production lines.

Mota Microelectronics' competitors are mainly in Neon and Europe.

As for North America?
In the field of lithography machines, North America seems to have already been out of the game.

It is not to say that there are no lithography machine companies in North America. The two lithography machine companies, SVG and Ultratech, still exist.

It's just that as early as the 80s, it was already beaten to pieces by Nikon, and now it belongs to the stage where the mud can't support the wall.

Last year, North America led the establishment of the EUV LLC Alliance, which has quite a few well-known companies Iter, Motorola, AMD, IBM and the three major laboratories.

The EUV LLC alliance excludes neon lithography machine companies. Of course, Mota Microelectronics is naturally not among them.

EUV technology has been regarded by the other side of the Pacific Ocean as the core technology for the development of its semiconductor industry.

Since it is a core technology, then naturally you have to master it yourself.

At the beginning, the lithography machine companies in the alliance belonged to SVG and Ultratech, but the situation of the two companies...

The whole spine has been broken, and it can't be straightened.

Iter makes its own lithography machine?

Not to mention Iter, they did make lithography machines themselves.

Of course, it was many years ago. At that time, the lithography machine technology was not too difficult. It is not too difficult for Iter to assemble a lithography machine with a lot of parts.

However, it is easy to assemble, but it is difficult to adjust it well.

Especially with the continuous improvement of precision, a little vibration will affect the photolithographic effect.

Professional things, in the end, have to be done by professional people.

In terms of technology, it would be best if Nikon or Mota Microelectronics joined the EUV LLC alliance.

Human affairs are not something that can only be solved by technology.

At this time, the EUV LLC alliance needs a lithography machine company that can be absolutely controlled and has development potential.

Although ASML is a small company in the Netherlands, they keep their status very low!

Anyway, it's already like this, in order to survive, I can agree to any conditions.

After learning about the current development of Mota Microelectronics in detail, Chen Huaiqing thinks it is quite good.

Now Mota Microelectronics still has to improve the reliability of its products.

As for the EUV LLC alliance...

At this time, the EUV technology solution is an extremely radical solution, and the technical difficulty is extremely high.

Compared with radical technical solutions, there is a more secure route to take, which is to steadily promote technological progress on the previous generation of technology.

For example, a 157nm F2 laser is used.

Chen Huaiqing is very clear that the traditional lithography machine technology solution can only achieve a process technology of more than 10 nanometers.

In 2010, the immersion lithography machine with 193nm light source could also produce chips with 11nm process technology.

If Mota Microelectronics continues to follow the current technical route, it is certain that the production of 10-nanometer chips can still be achieved.

However, Chen Huaiqing is not just satisfied with this.

In fact, Mota Microelectronics has already been advancing the technology research and development of EUV lithography machines.

Indeed, Mota Microelectronics cannot do the EUV LLC alliance to gather the power of North America and Europe.

But what Chen Huaiqing firmly believes in is that there are so many smart people in Huaguo!
As long as there is a clear technical path and sufficient R&D investment, it will definitely be possible.

After getting it out, slowly improve it.

Anyway, in terms of the actual demand for EUV lithography machines, it is not so urgent. It has been used for more than 20 years, and this is always no problem, right?
In the end, Chen Huaiqing still felt that it was more important to satisfy Mota Semiconductor first.

The demand of Mota Semiconductor alone is enough to meet the development needs of Mota Microelectronics.

Mota Semiconductor purchases lithography machines, but naturally not all of them are purchased from Mota Microelectronics.

I will still purchase a certain amount of lithography machine products from Nikon, and even purchase some from other manufacturers.

There is no other purpose, just use it and feel it.

Build a car behind closed doors and go out!

But under normal circumstances, the products built behind closed doors have various problems.

Therefore, everyone is very opposed to building a car behind closed doors.

Mota Microelectronics also needs to constantly absorb technical inspiration from the outside world. Sometimes, a problem directly gets people stuck.

But this is your problem. For others, this problem may have already been solved.

At this time, if you can learn from the previous one, then it will be even better.

The lithography machine has three core technologies: light source system, optical lens and workbench.

The research and development of the workbench is carried out by Mota Microelectronics itself, and the light source system and optical lens are carried out by other companies.

The light source is called Kedao Hongyuan.

As for making optical lenses, Seagull Camera is doing it.

Optical lenses are made by Mozi Optics.

After Chen Huaiqing left Mota Microelectronics, he went to Kedao Hongyuan.

Kedao Hongyuan is not a big company, and even in the outside world, not many people know about this company.

But this little-known company is the focus of some foreign institutions.

The lithography machine light source produced by Kedao Hongyuan is the confidence of Mota Microelectronics.

Even if the access to some components is restricted, it will indeed be troublesome for Mota Microelectronics.

But that doesn't mean it can't be overcome.

Kedao Hongyuan is more of a laboratory than a company.

Because there are more than 460 people in the whole company, and there are more than 440 technical R&D personnel.

The remaining 20 people are administrative staff.

The existence of administrative personnel is to protect the work and life of technical R&D personnel.

Chen Huaiqing focused on the research and development of EUV light sources.

The study of light sources is very difficult, that's for sure.

Many people believe that EUV lithography machines cannot be produced by relying on the strength of one country.

Regarding this, Chen Huaiqing can only say that he did not meet us.

Huaguo has enough intellectual resources to do any research on known human technology.

Of course, there is still a big shortage of Huaguo's intellectual resources.

In other words, the potential of intellectual resources has not yet been fully exploited.
