Reborn 80s

Chapter 968

The most advanced photolithography machines rely on international advanced industrial chains for manufacturing, but Mota Microelectronics does not completely rely on foreign industrial chains.

Especially the United States, Europe, and neon.

In other words, the most advanced industrial chain in the world is really inseparable from these regions.

As for Northern Russia, the second most powerful country in the world...

North Russia inherited most of the industrial and technological heritage of the former alliance, but after the disintegration of the former alliance, North Russia's economy was in a not-so-good situation for a long time.

At its lowest, the annual GDP was less than US$2000 billion!
In 2004, GDP reached the level of 1989. In other words, there was no development at all in the intervening 15 years.

Neon disappeared for 10 years, and Northern Russia also disappeared for 15 years!
The economic situation is not good, so naturally there is very little investment in scientific and technological research and development.

Between 1992 and 1994, the number of R&D personnel and technicians in North Russia dropped from 122 million to 64.

Attrition is divided into internal attrition and external attrition. Internal attrition means changing careers, and external attrition means going abroad.

Most of them went to the United States.

In this life, China owned Mota Holdings, and although the benefits offered were not as high as those of the United States, Hans and Israel, they were not much worse.

Moreover, China and the former alliance have the same roots.

With a large amount of brain drain and insufficient investment in research and development, North Russia's science and technology has actually fallen into a stage of slow progress.

Either there is no progress, or progress is very slow.

It is also possible to develop a technology using water milling skills, but it is a bit slow.

Looking around the world, China does not have a single reliable friend in the field of science and technology.

I originally placed my hope in Europe, but Europe is also a little bitch.

Hua Guo deeply understands that when it comes to technology, others cannot be relied on, and you still have to do it yourself.

Once you master it, it belongs to you.

Mota Microelectronics' current most advanced lithography machine is called the Mota60 lithography machine, which can directly lithography 60-nanometer chips. If lithography is repeated, it can reach 40 nanometers.

There is no need to repeat photolithography, the cost is too high.

Of course, it is not impossible to manufacture some chips in small quantities.

For example, some unreleased chips from Sixiang Technology.

Now Sixiang Technology belongs to the model of releasing one generation, storing one generation, and developing one generation.

Anyway, the chips released will not be as advanced as the mainstream chips on the market. What is important is to maintain a slight advantage and achieve a steady flow.

At present, China's strength is still insufficient. Chen Huaiqing is worried that if it surpasses a certain country in the semiconductor field, a certain country will directly overturn the table.

You have to control it and make it feel like everything is still under control. Although you have lost your absolute advantage, the relative advantage is in your hands.

As long as I have the advantage, I won't go to extremes.

The products of Sixiang Technology mainly have a high market share in the domestic market. In the international market, they have a relatively free attitude.

Don’t take the initiative to grab the market and don’t refuse customers to buy.

The Mota60 lithography machine has 80.00% local components, which is already a very high proportion.

In addition, half of the parts purchased from overseas belong to Tengen Co., Ltd.

Tianyuan Co., Ltd. has extremely huge interests in China. This is a matter of course.

Since it is a matter of interest, no one will doubt anything if they show closeness.

Ensuring the controllability and stability of the supply chain is undoubtedly an extremely important matter.

"Is it possible if all parts are localized?"

"It's okay, but the cost will increase and the yield rate of the chip will be affected." After Mota Microelectronics experienced what happened that year, it has a deep defense against this matter.

When signing a contract, there are strict delivery time requirements, and the compensation for breach of contract is also quite high.

Compared to having one's lifeline in the hands of others, it is naturally better to have one's life in one's own hands.

Chen Huaiqing pondered for a moment and said nothing more. Mota60 lithography machines are not only supplied to domestic semiconductor companies, but also to foreign semiconductor companies.

For example, Itel.

Itel had started to purchase Motta Microelectronics' lithography machines before. In addition to Motta Microelectronics' lithography machines being sufficiently advanced and priced appropriately, it also wanted to take advantage of opportunities for balance.

However, as Mota Microelectronics became more and more technologically advanced and was able to compete with Neon's two lithography machine companies, Itel placed fewer and fewer orders for Mota Microelectronics.

Now we are fully supporting ASML in the Netherlands.

ASML is also from a well-known family. Its original lithography machine came from Philips. In 1984, ASM International and Philips jointly established ASML.

ASML, which was not well-known in the early days, used the Philips logo in its recruitment advertisements.

ASML has grown quite rapidly in the past few years.

Because it has completely hugged the thigh.

In the study room of the Chen family courtyard, Chen Huaiqing was flipping through information on the current semiconductor industry.

Domestically, the semiconductor industry goes without saying.

The local semiconductor manufacturing company is Motta Semiconductor, but PSM has also set up factories in the mainland.

In this regard, Motta Semiconductor has not set up obstacles or anything like that.

Although PMC was the first company to engage in semiconductor foundry, Motta Semiconductor (MSC) is now number one in the global semiconductor foundry industry.

There are quite a few semiconductor manufacturing companies now, but there are already quite few manufacturing companies that manufacture photolithography machines, the core equipment of semiconductor manufacturing.

There are only three companies standing in the first echelon of technology.

Neon's Coney, China's Mota Microelectronics (MME) and Europe's ASML.

As for the United States...

There are still photolithography machine companies in North America, but they are already in the market and have been ignored.

In terms of technical capabilities, there are still some.

However, the market share has been declining year by year. If we do not actively transform and engage in other industries, we may go bankrupt at some point.

Chen Huaiqing tapped the table gently with his hand, his eyes wandering over the names of the three companies.

Asmai has completely surrendered to a certain country and is said to be a raised dog, so there is no problem at all.

If you want to take refuge, then naturally you have to submit a certificate of surrender.

ASML has committed to building a factory in North America and sourcing 54% of its parts from North America.

In this way, they accepted this little brother.

The eyes finally fell on Connie. Connie is still the world leader in the field of lithography machines and is extremely powerful.

"Connie cannot be defeated. Having this guy in front to attract firepower is the most beneficial thing for Mota Microelectronics."

Otherwise, Mota Microelectronics will have to compete directly with ASML.

In fact, now there are three companies competing, which is quite good.

An inexplicable balance is formed.
