Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

ASML had previously ignored the requirements of the security building and eagerly expressed its intention to sell high-end lithography machines to Loongson International. The most fundamental purpose was to create resistance to the next research of the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology and make it abandon the new lithography machine process. research or reduce investment resources.

But they didn't expect that this matter was completely wishful thinking on their part, and they didn't realize that the situation was completely irreversible.

Today is the photolithography machine delivery ceremony of the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology. It is very important for the global semiconductor field. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a turning point in the transformation of the industry.

Faced with such an important event, how could ASML not pay attention to it.

Therefore, even though there is a time difference between the two places, CEO Peter Wen and technical officer Tonino still choose to stay in the company and access the live broadcast signal source.

In fact, before watching today's live broadcast, Peter Wen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

It is believed that Loongson International may purchase its photolithography machines to expand the fab's high-end chip production capacity.

Although this will bring considerable competitive pressure to TSMC.

However, in order to maintain ASML's position in the industry, it can only do it regardless of the so-called influence.

However, after listening to Xu Yun's speech in the live broadcast, strong anger suddenly emerged in his heart.

I immediately regretted paying attention to this delivery ceremony.

After ASML expressed goodwill, Xu Yun still stated that he would continue to research new lithography machines, and also said that this would not take long.

In addition, the Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute will quickly produce photolithography machines to ensure Loongson International’s production capacity.

This further cuts off the possibility of Loongson International purchasing their photolithography machines.

It really goes with the saying, if you were indifferent to me at first, tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach high.

With the current 7-nanometer lithography machine technology of the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology and a defect rate of less than 2%, they have already felt great competitive pressure.

If we really conquer the 5nm process or even 3nm, we will undoubtedly surpass them completely.

At that time, other wafer factories around the world will definitely choose to purchase the lithography machine developed by Guang Xuyun in order to ensure the performance of their own chips and reduce costs.

The number of orders they have will plummet.

Unless other fab purchases are prohibited.

But facts have proven that this approach will only make the situation counterproductive.

"Starting today, the global semiconductor industry landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes."

"No one can stop it."

Peter Wen felt as if his strength had been drained away at this moment, and he sat down suddenly on the chair with a lonely expression.

I don't know if the words that came out of his mouth were expressed with emotion, or he was talking to Professor Tonino next to him.

"It's hard for me to believe that this era will give birth to such talented people who can create miracles unexpectedly. Perhaps this is a good thing for the entire human civilization."

Tonino didn't know what he thought of, and responded with a complicated expression.

Hearing this, Peter Wen fell silent.

He had to admit that Tonino was right. Xu Yun had conquered the high-end photolithography machine manufacturing technology and reduced the chip defect rate to 2%.

This is indeed a disaster for ASML, which completely destroyed the previous company's business situation.

But looking at the entire human civilization, the rapid advancement of science and technology is definitely a good thing.

As for what Xu Yun said during the live broadcast, he now has no doubts.

As long as Xu Yun is involved in the research and development of the new generation photolithography machine process, he will not be surprised at all even if it is manufactured next year.

Because this time is the best explanation.

I still remember that when the Academy of Sciences first announced that Xu Yun would take over the project, they were not aware of the danger at all.

He also arrogantly believed that Xu Yun could not build a high-end photolithography machine in a short time.

Now being slapped hard in the face by reality can be regarded as reaping the consequences.

But this also made them fully understand that Xu Yun was a special being.

Its potential is unimaginable.

As the two people in the office fell into a brief silence, the only sound left was the sound coming from the live broadcast.

Perhaps because the energy in his heart was completely defeated, Peter Wen didn't even think about breaking the live broadcast equipment.

At this moment, Tonino didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly turned his eyes and said to Peter Wen.

"Choosing to restrict the sale of high-end photolithography machines to Loongson International is really a very wrong decision."

"Those people in the security building are just short-sighted guys."

When Peter Wen heard these words, his face looked a little moved. He paused for a few seconds before speaking slowly.

"You're right."

If ASML had sold high-end lithography machines to Loongson so that the other party did not have to worry about being unable to manufacture high-end chips, then there is a high probability that ASML would not have invested so much resources and talents in the research of lithography machines.

In this case, they will always be the world's top semiconductor equipment manufacturing giant.

Although this will put a lot of pressure on those chip companies, it is definitely better than the current situation.

It can be said that to a certain extent, they forced the Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute to develop their own high-end lithography machines.

But the situation has become a foregone conclusion and there is no point in saying anything.

Next, the company can only take one step at a time and formulate a response plan in advance after the order reduction.

With his thoughts stuck here, Peter Wen seemed to have thought through a lot, and then he stood up with his hands on the armrests of the seat, took two steps forward and reached out to pat Tonino on the shoulder.

"Go back and rest early. We have to adapt to the new semiconductor field pattern as soon as possible."

"It's the boss."

Tonino nodded and replied solemnly.

The next second, Peter Wen took one last look at Xu Yun in the live broadcast, then turned and left without looking back.

…

No coincidence.

Qualcomm CEO Alan Lenkov, who was far away in Liga Nifoia, was also paying attention to the delivery ceremony.

But he was at home.

In the study, An Lunkov heard Zhou Xueyi announce that he had received an order for Kirin chips from Warwick Technology.

His face suddenly turned pale, and he felt even worse than eating the secret burger.

It was precisely in order to block Qilin that the security building took a series of measures.

I thought this would completely suppress the trend and ensure the company's authoritative position in the field of high-end chips.

But who would have thought that in just two years, the signs would grow into fierce flames.

Now even if I want to put it out, I can't find any water.

Now the other party not only has its own photolithography machine and photoresist, but also has formed a chip manufacturing industry chain.

No matter what measures we take, we can't stop Qilin from going online.

Coupled with the regulations they previously issued, it made it very unpleasant to have trouble with many mobile phone manufacturers.

They were forced to unite and issue a joint statement.

Now that we have Kirin chips, it is even more impossible to purchase them.

The loss of this order is already a certainty.

"How did things become like this? Did you do something wrong from the beginning?"

Anrenkov looked back emotionally, a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

After a while, his face gradually returned to calm, and then he dialed his secretary's phone number.

"Notify the company's core personnel to hold a strategy meeting tomorrow morning."

Since they knew that the situation was already very unfavorable to them, they could only try their best to find a solution.

You can't just sit back and watch the company's market value shrink.

But what is certain is that the stock price will continue to fall for a long time to come.

"It's the boss."

Almost as soon as Anrenkov finished speaking, a crisp female voice came from the microphone.

…

Xu Yun, who was still at the ceremony, naturally didn't know how Peter Weinlenkov and other related personnel behaved when facing the delivery ceremony, but he could basically imagine it.

Next, several reporters asked questions, basically about some issues in the development process of lithography machines.

With the answers from Luo Changhui and Hou Shengchang, Xu Yun felt quite relaxed.

Soon the reporter's question-and-answer session, which lasted less than twenty minutes, ended, and Luo Changhui and Zhou Xueyi also completed the delivery ceremony.

Under normal circumstances, the ceremony can be considered a successful conclusion at this point.

But the presence of the mysterious guest Ren Dong made the delivery ceremony even more valuable.

When the right to speak was handed over to Ren Dong, a mysterious smile appeared on his face facing the camera.

Then he slowly said:

"Today I take this opportunity to announce some good news."

"At this time, the domestic industrial software Yinglong EDA, which Warwick has developed for many years and cooperated with Deepin Technology, is officially launched. This will completely break our predicament of no industrial software available."

Although compared with domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, the weight of Yinglong EDA seems a bit light.

However, because this matter had not been leaked before, and now it was suddenly announced that even EDA had been successfully localized, everyone present was quite excited.

Anyone with relevant knowledge knows that although EDA is software, it is also a part of chip manufacturing.

The Institute of Optoelectronics Technology has conquered high-end lithography machines and may be able to use Kirin chips to support them in the short term. However, if you want to design a new generation of chips with stronger performance, it will not work without the assistance of EDA.

Originally, everyone didn't want to ruin everyone's good mood, so they didn't mention it.

Unexpectedly, Warwick has already laid out this aspect.

Completely realizing the closed loop of the domestic high-end chip manufacturing industry chain.

The key point is that the reporters present also keenly captured a key point, that is, this Yinglong EDA also involves the participation of in-depth technology.

In the public's mind, as long as any product involves in-depth technology, it is equivalent to being certified as a high-quality product, and its quality will never disappoint.

What's more, according to Ren Dong, this was developed by Warwick for many years.

The next second, a male reporter from overseas stood up and asked: "Chairman Ren, how does the performance of your company's EDA industrial software compare with that of Xinsi Keden?"

Now that Yinglong EDA has been launched, Director Ren will definitely not be as conservative as before.

Without much organization of words, he blurted out confidently:

"Our Yinglong EDA improves software autonomy through Deepin Technology's artificial intelligence support, increases integrated circuit design efficiency, and shortens the chip development cycle."

“Extreme speed is guaranteed in terms of fast data extraction model, hot spot detection in layout, and circuit simulation timing verification.”

"I can tell you personally that the overall performance of our Yinglong EDA is far ahead of the products of the giant company Xinsi Keden."

As Director Ren finished speaking, many people in the audience showed excitement and surprise in their eyes.

There is only one possibility for the dignified chairman of Warwick to say these words himself.

Yinglong EDA has indeed achieved a leading position among similar products.

After all, there is deep technology behind this industrial software. If the performance is not good, Director Ren will never dare to be so sure.

It can be said that this is something worthy of everyone's congratulations.

At this moment, Xu Yun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth and added a special sentence.

"You may not know that our artificial intelligence laboratory under Deepin Technology has cooperated with Huawei to design a smart car chip."

"This chip is named Lingsi, 7nm process."

"Currently, these produced chips have been applied to the Pioneer Inspiron series of new energy vehicles that will be officially put on trial sale next month. With the help of the chips, we have successfully realized intelligent driving."

"For specific information, you can go to the Trail Blazers official website to learn more and make an appointment offline."

Xu Yun took the initiative to bring up the Linsi chip, not only to prove the efficiency and performance of Yinglong EDA for Ren Dong, but also to warm up the Lingyue series of solid-state battery new energy vehicles in advance.

Sure enough, after he said these words, the reporters in the audience immediately exploded.

I never expected that Yinglong EDA had not just been developed, but had already produced excellent products.

In addition, the news about Pioneer's solid-state battery new energy vehicles also made everyone excited.

Originally I was just reporting on the delivery ceremony of domestic lithography machines, but I never thought there was a good thing about buy one and get two free.

You must know that since the establishment of the Pioneer new energy vehicle brand, everyone is looking forward to this first vehicle equipped with a solid-state battery, especially the latest motor technology and shaping fluorocarbon polymer coating materials.

However, there has been no new news since then, leaving many car owners who want to buy new cars hesitant.

Now that we know that it will be officially launched for sale next month, this is indeed exciting news that makes people excited.

Although it is piloted in individual cities, it is enough to satisfy everyone's appetite and expectations.

What's more, according to what Xu Yun said, Deepin Technology's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory specially designed a smart chip for this car, and even realized intelligent driving.

In the new energy vehicle industry, intelligent driving has always been a technology pursued by major manufacturers.

Among them, Tesla is the leader.

But I didn’t expect that the first car brand to implement intelligent driving functions would be a newly established car brand.

Faced with so much inside information, the scene was a bit chaotic. Many reporters focused their attention on Xu Yun and asked questions.

Want to get more forward-looking news.

"Professor Xu, what level does the intelligent driving function you mentioned reach?"

"Can you tell me more about the specific functions of this car?"

"Pioneer New Energy Vehicles uses so many advanced technologies in its first product. What is the approximate price range?"

"Tell me a few more words, Professor Xu."

…

Xu Yun on the stage felt tired while listening to the reporters' questions.

I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

However, this also proves from the side that the Blazers have a high degree of attention. I believe that the pilot sales next month will not disappoint.

Of course, Xu Yun couldn't reveal all the suspense right now, so he had to respond briefly to this situation.

"As for the specific situation of the Trailblazer Inspiron, you can go to the official website to check the first batch of pilot cities. I think a press conference will be held as soon as early next month to officially announce all the parameters of the vehicle."

"I hope everyone can wait patiently for a while. Don't worry about being late for a good meal."

"If I continue talking, the person in charge of the Blazers will blame me on this matter."

Xu Yun finished these words in a half-joking manner, which made the reporters in the audience laugh out loud. He finally stopped asking about the Trailblazer Inspiron New Energy Vehicle and shifted all his energy to what Director Ren wanted. Dig out as much news as possible.

The popularity of major domestically produced extreme ultraviolet lithography machines is already high enough, and no matter how you report it, there won’t be much content left.

But the two pieces of news that broke out at today's delivery ceremony were previously unknown to the outside world.

Trailblazer Inspiron is not online yet, so in-depth content cannot be learned.

Then you can only choose Yinglong EDA.

Fortunately, Director Ren was very happy with the enthusiasm of the reporters and answered many questions in the following time.

During this period, he also mentioned deep technology many times and pointed out the powerful role of artificial intelligence models in software development.

In addition, Director Ren also said that he will arrange for personnel to be interviewed specifically to answer questions about Yinglong EDA.

In this way, the time gradually came to noon. As Zhou Xueyi delivered his final speech, everyone left the scene one after another, and it was announced that the delivery ceremony of the first domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine was successfully concluded.

And when everyone gradually left, the live broadcast room, which was still open, was still very popular.

The audience is still digesting the information they received today.

The number of barrages shows no sign of decreasing.

"What a magical day today is. Not only has our first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine been delivered, Warwick has also launched the far-leading Yinglong EDA. The key is that the solid-state battery new energy vehicle I am most looking forward to is about to be launched."

"I just logged out and took a look. Warwick's official account has released the promotion of Yinglong EDA."

"Watching this live broadcast is not in vain, it can be called a grand event in multiple fields."

"Why are there only five pilot cities in the first batch? How long will it take to launch nationwide sales?"

"Recently I have been hesitating whether to buy a transportation vehicle first, but now I can finally wait for the Trailblazer with peace of mind."

"Is what Professor Xu said true or false? Does the Trailblazer really have intelligent driving functions?"

"It's a specially designed smart chip. It's probably true."

"With so many advanced technologies, I'm afraid the price won't be too cheap, right?"

"I'm so happy to be friends with Professor Xu. Dapingzhou is one of the first cities to be piloted. This time, I want a whole Trailblazer. There are many solid-state battery replacement stations in the city."

…

The live broadcast, which lasted for several hours, was announced to be over until the reporters came out of the delivery ceremony.

However, many people still chose to stay in the live broadcast room temporarily and continue to discuss the news they received today.

It was obvious that he was too emotional and could not calm down for a long time.

Journalists who can enter the scene for interviews will undoubtedly have first-hand news in their hands.

After the delivery ceremony, in order to be the first to report before others, I could say that I didn’t even bother to eat and just started writing the manuscript on the spot. After I finished it, I sent it back directly to upload the report.

So while the outside world was having lunch, I was suddenly shocked to find that the major official media accounts I followed had changed their usual style and launched diarrhea-style updates.

And the content of the reports is different.

It is no exaggeration to say that in normal times, any of these news items would reach the top of the hot search list and arouse public discussion, but now they appear inconspicuous among other explosive news.

Many people did not expect that in addition to the semiconductor field, the new energy automobile industry would also usher in a new earthquake.

The one who feels the most pressure about this is naturally Tesla.

Previously, because they did not want to accept the replaceable mode of the unified solid-state battery standard formulated by Deepin Technology, they did not announce that their own brand would be equipped with all-solid-state batteries, and still chose to cooperate with Panasonic.

It believes that with its advanced technology in the field of new energy vehicles, it can bridge the battery gap.

Now the solid-state battery new energy vehicle brand pioneer jointly created by Deepin Technology and Ningde BYD has directly realized intelligent driving technology. This means that even their last technical advantage has disappeared. I am afraid that the market share they have will gradually be lost to the pioneer. snatch away.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yun was originally invited by Zhou Xueyi to hold a grand celebration banquet to congratulate the successful delivery ceremony.

However, in order to return to Jingzhou City as soon as possible, Xu Yun only showed his nakedness and left midway.

In the afternoon, news about domestically produced extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, Yinglong EDA and Trailblazer Inspiron cars were still being reported. It can be said that the topic discussion on the entire network is getting more and more popular.

Among them, Qiu Bin, who was already a big UP, saw that his guess was wrong.

The first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is not a 5-nanometer process.

But he was still in a good mood.

Because he found a reason for ASML and other semiconductor giants to make concessions nervously.

It is that chip defect rate of less than 2%.

"This is really amazing. Professor Xu can actually guarantee that the chip defect rate is less than 2%. No wonder ASML immediately issued an announcement and chose to compromise."

"Such good video material, I need to post more in the next few days."

In a community in Yangcheng, Qiu Bin sat in front of the computer screen and screamed. He did not expect that the live broadcast in the morning would give him such a big surprise.

He attributed ASML's concession to the fact that the process level of domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines has reached 5 nanometers, and he did not speculate on the chip defect rate, which shows the difficulty of optimization in this area.

Even ASML, which is as powerful as the world's top giants, guarantees a defect rate of 5% at most.

Xu Yun's ability to achieve less than 2% has indeed reached a level that ordinary people cannot imagine.

It is normal for him not to predict correctly.

Fortunately, the delivery ceremony also revealed hot news about Yinglong EDA and intelligent driving technology, which was enough for him to update the machine schedule video.

——

When the time comes to night, it is dawn for those overseas.

Although overseas news reports about the delivery of lithography machines and Yinglong EDA are not as popular as domestic ones, they have also successfully aroused extensive discussions on many platforms.

Among them, the biggest response is undoubtedly from senior EDA industrial software giant companies such as Xinsi Kaiden.

ASML, Qualcomm and other companies previously made concessions without warning, which led them to hold an emergency meeting.

The final conclusion is that the impact is not significant, and we will wait and see.

Anyway, in their opinion, although the Institute of Optoelectronics Technology has conquered high-end photolithography machine manufacturing technology, it does not have the matching EDA software.

To a certain extent, if you want to design a chip with stronger performance, you cannot do without their software.

In this case, they originally thought that after the delivery ceremony was over, the security building would release software restrictions so that they could still have a stable user base that would not be affected.

Compared to other companies in this supply chain, the results are arguably the best.

But what was unexpected was that at this moment, Warwick suddenly announced the launch of Yinglong EDA industrial software at the ceremony, which caught them off guard.

At the same time, I felt a little worried.

I am afraid that this is Xu Yun's deliberate back-up. After all, the development of this industrial software involves deep technology.

If, as Director Ren said at the ceremony, the comprehensive performance of Yinglong EDA industrial software is already far ahead, it will undoubtedly be nightmare news for them.

If its own EDA industrial software is really replaced, the original market share will inevitably decrease rapidly.

You need to know that these industrial software giants basically occupy more than 90% of the global EDA market. Who is willing to give away the market if they are used to delicacies from mountains and seas?

So the first thing they have to determine is whether the Yinglong EDA developed by Warwick is ahead of them.

…

"Where did this Yinglong EDA come from? Why was there no news before?"

In the conference room of the Synaptics headquarters building, Chief Operating Officer Sahin did not hide his anger when facing several senior company consultants in front of him.

I couldn't accept that such a big thing happened in the industry after I had not felt at ease for two days.

A nearly roaring voice fell in the office, and there was a pause for a few seconds before a consultant opened his mouth to answer.

"We are constantly paying attention to the EDA software developed by them, but they are basically too immature to pose a threat. As for Yinglong EDA, it should be developed secretly."

"It was released deliberately at this time, probably to cooperate with their first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine."

These words were also recognized by others around him, and as the chat box was opened, they began to analyze it.

"Based on what we know so far, the development of this EDA is supported by in-depth technology. I'm afraid Xu Yun was considering this when he decided to develop a lithography machine."

"The other party obviously wants to completely complete their autonomy. This time they are definitely prepared."

"This guy is really scary."

Sahin glanced at the ambitious consultant and took a deep breath to calm down a little.

Then ask about the most critical things.

"Who can tell me what the overall performance of this EDA is, and whether it can be ahead of us?"

"The staff of the technical department are analyzing it, and the results should be available soon." The consultant in front of him replied immediately.

After hearing this, Sahin had no choice but to temporarily control his temper and wait patiently for the final analysis results from the technical department.

The main reason is that they are still not sure of the true performance of this EDA software, and they certainly cannot listen to all the propaganda. Who knows if there is any deliberate exaggeration.

Even if it involves deep technology.

Only by understanding the specific situation can we develop appropriate solutions.

If there is indeed exaggeration, then there is nothing to worry about.

Even if they do nothing, Warwick will reuse their EDA products sooner or later.

Unless you don't want to improve the performance of the chip.

But if they are as far ahead as advertised, they will end up no better than other companies in the supply chain.

It could even be worse.

In this way, Sahin and several senior consultants from the company waited patiently for the final result in the conference room.

Although I felt increasingly anxious during this period, I had to stay calm in order not to cause panic.

About half an hour later, a technician hurriedly pushed open the conference room door from outside, forgetting even the etiquette of knocking on the door.

Of course, Saxin was not in the mood to care about such a trivial matter at this time. When he saw the other party's figure, he stood up suddenly and quickly asked about the specific situation.

"Have the analysis results come out?"

"Say it."

"What is the overall performance of this EDA?"

Facing the boss's inquiry, the technician did not dare to hesitate or delay.

In the next second, he will truthfully report what he has learned.

"According to the analysis of our technical department, this EDA contains intelligent modules that are highly autonomous. It also uses cloud technology to improve the efficiency of circuit production and save chip design time."

"Compared with our products, they can speed up project completion and reduce design costs."

"In addition, the software also contains some proven and mature modular designs that can be directly applied to the chip, which can effectively avoid the huge sunk costs faced in chip design."

"In short, this is a very mature and complete EDA industrial software."

This designer seems to prefer Yinglong EDA, and his eyes become brighter and brighter as he talks about it.

It seems that I was attracted by some of the functions inside.

But when he said the last sentence, his tone was obviously much softer.

Because he noticed Saxin's gloomy face.

This result was definitely not what Sahin wanted to see, but things did not develop for the better.

After hearing these words, he still didn't want to believe it. He immediately raised his eyes to look at the technician in front of him and asked, "Are you sure these are true?"

"It's all true."

The technician nodded and answered, then handed over the report in his hand.

If Sahin could still lie to himself just now, then after seeing the data in the report, he could only accept that Yinglong EDA developed by Warwick was already far ahead of them.

Although this is a very heavy topic.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He raised his gaze to look at the senior consultant of the company in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice about his next plan.

"From now on all usage restrictions on our products will be removed and free cycle compensation will be issued."

"Perhaps our biggest opponent in the future will be this Yinglong EDA."

After Saxin finished speaking, he sat back on the chair like an eggplant beaten by frost. Compared with the confident state of the previous few days, he was completely different.

Unexpectedly, after these days, they would still make the same concessions as Asmai.
