Global Monopoly of Technology

Luo Sheng came to Xiongxin Electronics and entered the chip manufacturing factory. Accompanying him was Liu Yixuan, who is currently in charge of Xiongxin Electronics.

"In the past year, ASML has produced a total of 27 immersion lithography machines with 45nm node technology. Xiongxin Electronics has already won a second order contract and can deliver this year."

Liu Yixuan, who accompanied Luo Sheng around the super factory, walked and introduced. What I have to say is that, as a wafer foundry manufacturer with pure blood of Huaguo, it is extremely rare for people to cut in. Even friends do not dare to think.

The next-generation Huaxin International is as difficult as it is to get one, and it doesn't sell it to you. It hasn't been for so many years.

In the final analysis, Luo Sheng has mastered some core technologies in the semiconductor industry. It is not necessary to master all of them. One part is enough, but it must be missing. Others can't play it.

It is for this reason that it has a decisive right to speak.

Of course, there is another important reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the 45nm node technology lithography equipment is not the most advanced in the world.

You know, lithography machines such as high-end equipment, wafer foundries around the world are queuing up and waiting for purchases at ASML's doorsteps, and the year with the highest ASML production capacity is only 30 lithography equipment. There are more than 30 foundries.

At this moment, Luo Sheng was watching from the room of a lithography machine equipment. 80% of the staff were foreigners. Most of them were operators assigned by ASML. Some lithography machine operation procedures forbid males. The engineers of the core electronics participated, and they did not even watch them. Even indirect participation was closely guarded by them. It was their people who really solved the problem.

ASML's leak-proof secrets of such high-end equipment are a strictly guarded rhythm, for fear of leakage.

It is impossible for engineers at Xiongxin Electronics to say that they are not angry, but they are helpless and the contract is so stipulated.

Luo Sheng has no waves. When the extreme ultraviolet lithography technology comes out, hunters and prey should be exchanged.

After watching it for a while, I left here and went to other workshops to see that the birth of a chip didn't just require lithographic equipment.

During the processing of the chip, the lithography machine shoots the light beam through the circuit diagram through the light source and shape control method, handles the optical error, reduces the scale of the circuit diagram, and engraves the circuit diagram on the silicon wafer by chemical method.

Various tiny spaces are implanted on the wafer to implant ions, generate PN sections, and build tens of millions of components. After these process flows are completed, the prototype of the chip can be formed on a wafer.

In addition, cutting, packaging, pinning, testing and other processes are required to complete the final chip to market.

Luo Sheng is holding a processed 8-inch wafer streamer with a large number of uncut chips on it. Looking at the orderly circuit texture, he can't help but admire: "The victory between square inches is the most important factor for technology. Praise. "

After looking at it for a while and returning it to the staff, Luo Sheng turned his head and asked Liu Yixuan, who was in parallel with him, "how many wafers can the maximum production capacity of the current factory reach?"

Liu Yixuan: "Based on the peak working value, each lithographic equipment can process 2400 pieces per day."

The daily production capacity is 2400 wafers, and the total production capacity can output approximately 72,000 wafers per month, and the annual output can reach 864,000 wafers.

Luo Sheng estimated for a moment, and could not help but nodded: "That is to say, under the condition of ensuring the standard yield, each wafer can cut about 60 chips, and the annual output can exceed 50 million pieces ... Well, that's enough. "

I glorious mobile phone for the terminal brand, which is an independent terminal brand, is basically everything, only the chip.

Because to a certain extent, the prepared mobile phones are more complete than Xiaomi. To know the birth of the brand of glory, it is largely that Lei always awakened Xu Zhijun, who was in charge of Lansi Semiconductor at that time. It can be said that the brand of glory and the brand of Xiaomi It's almost time to start, but Xiaomi's first-generation mobile phone has been on the market for a long time.

Honor has not launched its own first-generation terminal products so far, because it is waiting for the chip of the male core electronics. If you also choose the path of Xiaomi and follow the path of Qualcomm, the first-generation terminal of Honor may be faster than Xiaomi.

Luo Sheng added to Liu Yixuan and added: "As a reminder to ASML, we must deliver the second immersion lithography equipment on time this year. Do n’t do anything to catch fire and delay the delivery time, including its supporting and chemical industry. The materials are all ready. "

Liu Yixuan nodded.

An additional lithography equipment will be added this year, and the increase in the output of 45-nanometer chips will make the overall production capacity of male core electronics reach more than one in 2012.

The current production capacity can cope with the recently launched Honor mobile phone, but another year may be insufficient production capacity. The Honor brand uses the unnamed Azure mobile phone elimination technology. Luo Sheng is very clear that this product is definitely in the low-end brand. It is very capable, the shipment volume will inevitably go up, and the annual sales volume is more than 10 million. It has great potential.

Luo Sheng, who has the memory of the previous life, knows even more that such low- and medium-end equipment can easily exceed 60 million to 70 million units in the next few years, and even exceed 100 million.

The wafer foundries of Xiongxin Electronics will not be able to meet the increasing demand for supply in the market without expanding production capacity. Moreover, Luo Sheng's biggest ambition is to replace Xiongdian and Samsung with Xiongxin Electronics.

No matter how bad it is, it must become a parity with TSMC and Samsung Electronics in the field of chip foundry in the world.

Now HeJianDian is in the honeymoon period, but Luo Sheng's heart has never been lowered.

In fact, it's not that silly to lift up the power. Although there are cooperation, they all provide solutions in some of the edge technology, backward technology and other links they can't use.

However, this is exactly what the newly-developed XIONGXI needs most. To gain a firm foothold in the field of chip wafer foundry, we can seek the next layout.

Not to mention, first of all, the original chip wafer foundry in China must be handled by Huaxin International, and the status of the largest domestic chip wafer foundry will be determined.

Luo Sheng walked around inside the chip production line and visited the super factory for twenty minutes before leaving the super factory. As soon as he came out, the accompanying Liu Yixuan said:

"Mr. Luo, people from Huaxin International came to me again yesterday to discuss mergers and acquisitions."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was not surprised at all, and Qin Weimu, who was also present but not talking, also said:

"Huaxin International's recent market value has been falling and is about to fall below the issue price. Following this trend, it may face the fate of forced delisting."

Luo Sheng looked at Liu Yixuan and asked, "How are they going to acquire?"

For the current Huaxin International ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, it is really lacking in interest, but as long as it is not too much, it is not impossible to acquire. This is not determined by IQ, but the result of EQ.

Liu Yixuan replied: "The other party wants to complete the merger in the form of cross-shareholdings by Xiongxin Electronics."

Hearing such a condition, Luo Sheng directly threw away the EQ operation, negating neatly: "If they continue to insist, then they still reject it. Don't hesitate to merge only one line, then complete the whole of Huaxin International For the liquidation of assets, we take cash delivery acquisitions and wholly-owned acquisitions. The money is divided between them. As for the dispute between their shareholders, don't bring it to Xiongxin Electronics. "

Having said that, Luo Sheng thought about adding: "We can make acquisitions at an appropriate premium."

It's not enough to get rid of EQ completely, after all, this company of Huaxin International is different from overseas companies.
