Chapter 565: Shocking the West, crushing by technology!
Kosilos felt a little confused after hearing Wang Xiang's words. What exactly did he mean?
What is a 65nm level photolithography machine with a yield rate of over 90%?
What kind of joke is this?
Is Changtian Technology selling lithography machine products to Ames?
Corsilos couldn't help but laugh, not hiding his joking expression at all.
What kind of company is ASML?
The world's largest provider of lithography machines, and even the only provider of high-end lithography machines.
Now Changtian Technology is actually asking Corsillo if he is interested in 65-nanometer level lithography machines.
Isn't this a show of force in front of Guan Gong?
Kosilos felt that Wang Xiang and his group came here to make himself happy.
Although he didn't know what Wang Xiang's purpose was, he felt that Wang Xiang's purpose of coming this time had something to do with the judgment of the American court.
Corsilos didn't want to spend energy playing games with Wang Xiang, so he shrugged and said, "Mr. Wang Xiang, I really don't understand what you just said."
"Let me just think of it as, you need to buy ASML's lithography machine, but I'm very sorry, as I just said, we have no way to sell this kind of lithography machine to your company."
Wang Xiang knew that Kosilos did not understand what he meant.
Wang Xiang was not angry because of Kosilos's joking expression.
As the world's largest lithography machine company and a company that almost monopolizes the entire high-end chip manufacturing lithography equipment, Kosilos does have the capital to tease.
Wang Xiang leaned on his seat, took a sip of coffee and said, "Is there any tea?"
As a traditional Xia man, Wang Xiang does not have the habit of drinking coffee.
Wang Xiang's request made Kosilos very angry. He said angrily: "Sorry, there is no tea here."
Wang Xiang nodded, put the coffee cup on the table, and said: "Currently, there are only two companies in the world that can produce 65-nanometer chips. One is a chip factory affiliated with Intel, and the other is Tire Electromechanical."
In order to consolidate its monopoly position, Intel has retained its own chip processing factory even though it has handed over most of its chips to Tiedong Electrical and Electronics OEMs.
Moreover, Intel's chip production factory is more powerful than Tire Electromechanical in terms of technology and strength.
Wang Xiang added: "However, the current global mainstream chip registration is still 130nm, and Intel's 90nm chip has just begun mass production. It is not expected that it will be widely used in commercial computers early this year or even next year."
Kosilos listened to Wang Xiang's words very seriously. He frowned. He didn't know what Wang Xiang's opening remarks meant.
Does this help Changtian Technology purchase lithography machines?
Obviously not!
Wang Xiang said: "Why can't 65nm chips be mass-produced? The main reason is that the yield rate is not high."
"Even if AMES's photolithography machine is used, the probability of successful photolithography is not more than 70%. In addition, the yield rate of other equipment is not high, so the overall yield rate of 65nm chips is less than 60%.
"
Even though Kosilos was fed up with Wang Xiang, he had to admit that Wang Xiang's statement was completely correct.
The yield rate is less than 60%, which is a pretty scary number.
Chip production is a high-end production, and the cost is quite high. If the yield rate is less than 60%, it will definitely drive up the cost of the chip. When the cost reaches a certain range, consumers will never pay the bill.
So under this situation, even if Intel has 65nm technology, it will not produce it, let alone produce it, because the technology does not meet the standards.
"With this kind of yield rate, any chip company will lose money in production, so it is impossible to achieve mass production."
"Since mass production can't be achieved, how can we talk about large-scale application? What do you think, Mr. Kosilos?" Wang Xiang looked directly at Kosilos, not afraid of Kosilos' gaze at all.
At this time, Corsilos could not sit still.
Every word Wang Xiang said was basically to the point.
ASML's 65nm lithography machine is actually not technically mature at all and can only be said to be barely adequate.
But why does Intel still want to buy the 65nm lithography machine despite knowing that it is not accurate enough?
The most important reason is strategic deterrence.
Regardless of whether the yield rate is high or not, get it done first and then talk about it.
This was done to tell the world that Intel is already able to produce 65nm chips, and its technology is the most advanced in the world.
This strategic deterrence is very powerful.
Moreover, photolithography machines are not inherently cheap products, nor are they a one-time purchase.
A lithography machine similar to 65nm costs close to one billion dollars and has strict after-sales service.
In the future, if ASML conquers the technology and has a better yield rate, it will provide free updates to Intel.
Of course Intel felt that sooner or later it was necessary to buy it, so it bought it.
Kosilos said: "Mr. Wang Xiang, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Xiang asked Luo Ning to take out the information from the document bag, handed it to Kosilos and said, "Sir, you can take a look at our materials. I think you will be very interested."
Kosilos was very curious about what this material was.
After opening the material, Kosilos was completely stunned!
What material is this?
This is a 65nm lithography machine production technology guide written and translated by Chen Xiao himself.
Just a guide, not a complete production technique.
Complete production technology cannot be contained in such a small amount of information.
But it is just a production guide. It has already relatively completely explained the key technologies and points of attention in the production process of 65 nanometer lithography machines.
There are some points to note that ASML has been unable to solve for a long time.
This is why the accuracy of 65-nanometer lithography machines has not been able to meet ASML's requirements.
At this moment, Kosilos was completely shocked.
[Influence +300]
Kosilos quickly turned to the corresponding page according to the catalog.
The page is not a specific technology, but a description similar to a technical outline.
A layman may not understand what these descriptions mean, but Kosilos is not only the vice president of the company, but also the head of the technical department.
I really understand the key technologies in the production of photolithography machines.
Kosilos was able to determine it completely by looking at the contents of the file.
Changtian Technology's mastery of lithography machine technology is no worse than ASML.
Moreover, all these solutions to the problems that ASML has been unable to solve for a long time are solutions that ASML's professional and technical personnel have never thought of.
Kosilos can even conclude that if the detailed technology can be obtained.
Then the accuracy of ASML's 65nm lithography machine can definitely be improved to more than 99.9%.
Improving the accuracy of photolithography machines can also absolutely improve the yield rate of 65-nanometer chips.
It can even directly lead to the mass production of 65nm chips by companies such as Intel.
Kosilos swallowed. Although Changtian Technology has a semiconductor business, Ames is a leading company in semiconductor equipment.
But there was no contact between the two parties before this.
Unfortunately, ASML, which has been dealing with Intel, AMD, etc. for a long time, does not have much energy to focus on a small Xiaguo company.
Therefore, Kosilos’ understanding of Changtian Technology is limited to media reports.
Kosilos spent about 20 minutes carefully reviewing the information Wang Xiang handed over.
Kosilos then apologized to Wang Xiang and took the information to the technical department for everyone to discuss.
The technical department spent an hour analyzing the information in detail.
Then the entire technical department was boiling.
"Where did this information come from? How could there be such a sophisticated solution to the problem?"
"Is there a detailed technical operation guide? I think according to this method, the accuracy problem of our 65-nanometer level lithography machine will definitely be solved!"
"Sir, where does this technical information come from? Was it compiled by the technical side of our department? Is there any more detailed content?"
Seeing the reaction of the technicians, Kosilos said with emotion: "This is not the relevant information compiled by our technicians, but comes from Xia Guo Changtian Technology."
After detailed analysis, Kosilos and the technical staff agreed.
Changtian Technology is absolutely capable of producing 65-nanometer level, high-precision photolithography machines.
Since then, Corsilos did not dare to neglect.
On the one hand, the matter will be reported to the company's board of directors.
On the other hand, he quickly returned to the conference room and answered urgently with Wang Xiang.
Because Kosilos doesn't know what the purpose of Wang Xiang's coming here this time?
Wang Xiang was not idle at this time.
Instead, people walking up and down the corridors observe the working environment at ASML.
At this time, Wang Xiang actually had some emotions.
ASML does not have many workers and technicians.
But it has created the most advanced technological products in the world.
what does that mean?
It does not mean that ASML's technical personnel are very powerful, but that behind ASML, there is a strong technology supply system.
ASML is just a reaction to the power of Western technology.
The current dilemma that Xia State is encountering is that the technology supply chain is too weak and the technology environment is also very bad.
There are not many companies in the Xia Kingdom that dare to innovate like Changtian Technology.
There are not many innovative technology companies, which means that Changtian Technology's supply chain is very pitiful.
Every supply chain needs to be opened up or even built by Changtian Technology itself.
This not only increases the time cost of Changtian Technology, but also increases the economic cost.
Kosilos saw Wang Xiang walking in the corridor and said quickly: "Mr. Wang Xiang, I'm really sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."
"Please come to the office!"
For those unfamiliar or less important guests, Kosilos usually met him in the conference room.
But for those key guests.
Corsiros would invite the other party to sit in his office for a long time.
"Mr. Wang Xiang, what do you mean by the cooperation you just proposed?"
Wang Xiang smiled and asked Luo Ning to take out another document.
In fact, at this time, Wang Xiang was still a little shocked.
He didn't expect that the technical document just now would be so powerful.
As for the production technology of Guangke Machinery, it is entirely due to Chen Xiao.
Wang Xiang even thought that without Chen Xiao, Changtian Technology might not have developed to the experience it has today.
"This is our cooperation plan, sir, please take a look at it."
The first condition is that the lithography machine is first handed over to Changtian Technology for use.
Changtian Technology purchased it at a 50% discount on the market price.
This condition is that the lithography machines are not allowed to be sold to Intel for one year.
Intel will be available for purchase after one year.
At the same time, Changtian Technology will share 30% of the profit for every lithography machine sold.
Seeing such conditions, Kosilos was shocked.
How could he agree to such a first condition?
Because this condition completely ranks Intel as a second-class citizen.
You must know that Intel is an important shareholder of ASML.
When Wang Xiang stated such conditions, he actually had no hope that ASML would agree.
Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang to come over for negotiation, but Wang Xiang didn't know what Chen Xiao's original intention was.
How could anyone agree to such conditions?
Sure enough, Corsilos's face turned dark.
He is feeling very nervous and confused now.
He definitely can't decide this kind of thing alone. It must be submitted to the board of directors for discussion.
Kosilos said: "Is there any more detailed technical information?"
Wang Xiang nodded and said: "Of course! Your company will see it soon."
Wang Xiang is fine anyway, just like Chen Xiao said, he can take a look at the tulips in Holander and wait for the news here.
At this time, Jiangzhou Changtian Technology Headquarters.
Song Yi has followed the company's instructions and published the 65-nanometer photolithography machine production technology, 65-nanometer etching technology, and 65-nanometer chip production technology (non-confidential, openable paper materials) in the relevant computer science journal sponsored by the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences
in magazine.
And also submitted articles to related computer academic journals in the United States and Europe.
If other companies submit articles, they may not be taken seriously by relevant journals.
But this time the contributor was Changtian Technology, and at this time Changtian Technology already had an important influence on a global scale.
This time the global semiconductor industry was shocked.
Changtian Technology actually has complete 65nm lithography machine production technology!
And it is a production technology that can achieve a yield rate of more than 99%!
How can this be?
Hasn’t the United States already issued a verdict?
It is clearly informed that Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology, has infringed on TiMC’s patented technology.
Even 130nm is stolen from TiMC, so how can we have the ability to produce 65nm?
But judging from the paper published by Changtian Technology.
All contents stated by Changtian Technology are true.
This time, the Western semiconductor industry was instantly confused.
Who stole whose technology?
ASML also saw relevant papers published directly by Changtian Technology.
I immediately felt anxious!
What will be the consequences if Changtian Technology cooperates with other photolithography companies?
