Rebirth of Northern Technology

"I am not going to use the existing company power."

Cheng Yongxing shook his head.

"Do you want to ask the school for help again?"

Project No. 1, this is another big project of the "Full Color Project" level. There is even worse.

In the last full-color project, the University of Technology almost mobilized the entire school to support it. What about this time?

Not to mention that the University of Technology now supports wafers, even full-color projects of this level can't support it.

"No. This time the wafer project, I plan to put it in Spring City. Related forces, I will also reorganize."

Cheng Yongxing also thought about this for a long time. When wafers are placed in Ice City, they face a series of problems.

Bingcheng does not have the personnel and technology required by the wafer industry. The power of a school is ultimately limited.

Although the photoelectric cheating style has sprung up, it still cannot conceal the problem of insufficient background.

The newly born semiconductor department of the University of Technology has supported the LED and LCD industries. Both manpower and technology have reached their limits.

Finding a new support is the best way.

————————

But Spring City is different. Spring City has several units that can help a lot in semiconductors, especially in the field of scientific research.

The Institute of Optical Machinery, this need not be mentioned.

Another unit that has been overlooked is the Guangxi School. The professional setting of this school is almost for wafer preparation.

The most important one is Lin University.

The Department of Semiconductors of Lin University (renamed the Department of Electronic Science in 1983) was established very early. It was established in 1959 and was known as the "First Department in the World" at that time.

This department set up its own component factory in 1960 for internship and production of integrated circuits.

During this period (1992), its strength was not even a bit stronger than Gongda.

Its subordinate professional settings are also exceptionally complete, including a number of strong majors with master's and doctoral qualifications, such as electronics, semiconductor chemistry, semiconductor physics, semiconductor devices, and semiconductor materials.

In this era, the industrial and technological foundations of the three northeastern provinces are hard to imagine.

Bingcheng, Chuncheng, and Fengtian, any of them alone can support a piece of sky.

It is a pity that at this time, the whole country's thinking from top to bottom is to introduce them all. Investment in scientific research and education has been drastically reduced. These powers were all abandoned in the end.

Due to the declining economy of the three northeastern provinces and the spring city, the local finance cannot support so many state-level colleges and universities.

Lin University (985, 211), Lin University of Technology (211), Bethune Medical University (national key), College of Posts and Telecommunications (the only post and telecommunications college in Northeast China, with admission scores exceeding key points), and Geology College (national key), a total of five national universities, in 2000 It was forced to merge in the year and established the New Forest University.

Even if so many universities were merged together, they still could not solve the funding problem. They had to rely on borrowing to survive. In the end, it became the first insolvent university in China, which caused a sensation.

The strength of Lin University's semiconductor department, like Lin University, is declining due to lack of funds and no industrial environment support. In the end, even the Bingcheng University of Technology can't match it. It is a pity.

There are two considerations for setting up the wafer project in Spring City.

The first one is confidential. After the leak of the 12-inch LCD, Full Color has become a target of public criticism.

Opening a new base is a safer approach.

Second, after two rounds of contact with Liu Xuan, Cheng Yongxing’s biggest dilemma in this relationship is distance. In addition, Spring City itself is his hometown.

Putting the second base in Spring City is a natural choice.

————————

"Then what do you tell me to do? This No. 1 project has nothing to do with me!"

Bai Xuecheng was a little confused. If you talk about the second-generation line, it's actually more appropriate to go to the full-color company to talk about it.

"There are two things here that have something to do with Quancai, and both need your support. Why move Line 1 to Spring City? There are also considerations in this regard. I hope that this LCD production line will cultivate and nurture related industrial workers. ."

A fab cannot be put into production after it is built. Related technical personnel also need to be trained. The best way to train industrial workers in semiconductor production lines is undoubtedly through LCD production lines.

"The second one is funding. I plan to take back the equipment procurement rights of Quancai Technology to "Photoelectric Equipment". Through the equipment procurement funds of "Quancai Technology", I will provide blood for the wafer industry."

As the LCD industry has gradually gotten onto the right track and the production line has been gradually mass-produced, it will gradually gain a certain degree of profitability. But more important than profitability is its financing ability.

Due to the unique technology of "Full Color Technology", it is more convenient to attract investors. Like 2, 3, 4, three production lines, the main funds are the funds of external investors. So wiping oil from here is the best way.

This idea is a bit like the original IQ tax.

With the opening of the TFT-LCD market, the production capacity of TFT-LCD will also usher in a process of full-scale explosion.

In the original history, by the end of 1994, 21 TFT-LCD production lines had been built in the world, with a total production capacity of 630,000 pieces per month. Among them, the newly added capacity is 540,000 pieces.

The vast majority of this gap in the market needs "Full Color Technology" to fill. Taking the current line 2 as a reference, even if its yield rate is 100% and double-shift production, 54 new lines are needed! And the purchase of equipment for each line is as high as 150 million yuan.

The purchase of semiconductor equipment due to the explosion of LCD production capacity has reached RMB 8 billion! This is still a conservative estimate that does not take into account the higher cost of the second-generation line and other factors.

Investment in the wafer industry is about to land here.

————————

"Project One, do you have any specific goals?"

"The initial idea is to build a small 2-micron wafer fab between 1993-94, and then gradually upgrade to a 1-micron process through technological advancement."

After several months of hard work, Ye Jing finally selected the LELE route as the next technology evolution direction for optoelectronics.

In this era, "Multi-Pattern Technology" is not a little bit less difficult than the nano era. After the decimal point, the accuracy of two zeros is missing, which leads to the most headache diffraction and alignment problems in the nanometer era, which are not major problems.

Compared with SAMP, LELE has its own advantages. The main drawback of LELE is that it has the problem of sub-picture calibration.

SAMP is a self-calibration technology, so in the initial stage, its advantages are still very obvious. But it is only suitable for symmetrical graphics, and the applicable surface is very narrow.

Its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, which is also the main reason why intel took the lead in 14nm, but was unable to clear customs at 10nm. Believe that intel will eventually go to LELE this road.

The investment in the fab also has a lot to do with production capacity and wafer size. Because the core purpose of this fab is to verify the application of the "multi-pattern technology" technology on the actual production line. There is no need to make it too big. The design technology goal of this production line is only 2 micron, 3 inch wafers, and only 10,000 wafers per month.

As for the process design of this production line, Cheng Yongxing is not allowed to intervene. After all, the domestic technology for this level of wafer is fully mature.

————————

"Then in 1995-96, another official line will be built. Its technical indicators aim at 0.5 microns."

In fact, in Cheng Yongxing's mind, the real target is 0.25-0.35 microns.

1996 is another critical time point.

With the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, Sino-US relations have rapidly deteriorated. The "Wassenaar Agreement" opened the prelude to China's decades-long technological suppression. Can you imagine? China is actually treated the same with Iran and North Korea!

If the optoelectronic wafer industry can achieve a complete overtake of the world's semiconductor industry in 95-96, it is not certain who will block the technology for whom.

The confidentiality of multi-pattern technology is easier than ODF, because it does not have new equipment. At least, it will not be leaked by a photo.

For optoelectronic wafers, as long as the secrecy work is done well, the wafer industry in other countries can be upgraded and stopped with one generation or two generations higher than the world's level of chips!

Just like yesterday’s LED, today’s LCD.

At worst, the two sides have the capital to sit down and talk.

Sanctions are like this. I will not sell you things that you can't make. What is the significance of the embargo that you can create? Therefore, although the volume of optoelectronics itself is small, it opens a vast door for the country.

Another side effect of the Taiwan Strait crisis is that China's negotiations on resuming customs are completely shelved. This wave of sanctions lasted for 5 years, until 2001, the resumption of customs also became entry.

It seems that there is only one word difference between resuming customs and entering customs, but the conditions are far worse. At least later generations have been arguing, the treatment of market economy countries is not a problem at all.

Anyway, multiple patterns will be leaked sooner or later. At this time, two generations of advanced wafer technology are used in exchange for reconciliation negotiations. This requirement cannot be overstated.

————————

"Okay. I agree with this."

After thinking for a while, Bai Xuecheng still agreed to this suggestion.

From the company's point of view, "Optical Equipment" and "Full Color Technology" are two completely different entities of interest.

But in the face of big right and wrong, he still made concessions.

From the day when "Photoelectric Research" separated, he knew that LCD had fallen out of favor in Cheng Yongxing's heart.

The LED industry contributed the first start-up capital for LCD. Now it's the LCD industry's turn to transfuse the wafer industry.

But this conversation also cast a shadow in his heart. Will the booming LCD industry also face the same fate as LED?
