In order to break through the 32n process, all senior executives led by Wang Ningguo and Liang Mengsong did not take vacations. Because they were very clear about the significance of this process, almost no one complained about the overtime arrangement, and everyone wanted to cross this threshold and eat meat and drink soup together.
At this time, the day has finally come to bear fruit.
When Lu Fei, Sun Hongjun and others came to the locker room, they happened to bump into Zhang Rujing who was putting on dustproof clothing.
"Mr. Zhang, are you still used to being in Silicon Group?"
Lu Fei slowly put on his shoe covers.
"Everything is fine, everything is fine."
Zhang Rujing showed a satisfied smile.
Compared with SMIC, the working environment of Silicon Group is quite relaxed and pleasant. There is no need to bear the pressure of TSMC, a strong enemy, nor to face the intrigues of shareholders, nor the factional management. Recently, I rarely take anti-hypertensive drugs.
.
"That's good, I'm afraid you're not used to it."
Lu Fei's lips curled up.
"But Mr. Lu, the situation of the domestic photovoltaic industry seems not to be optimistic." Zhang Rujing was worried.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The domestic photovoltaic industry is mainly export-oriented and is especially dependent on Europe. Now that the European debt crisis has broken out, subsidies for photovoltaics have decreased. It is common sense that the market has shrunk and overcapacity has occurred." Lu Fei's face was clear.
Worry.
"Indeed, KeSi Group's business is upstream raw materials. If these exporting companies suffer losses or even go bankrupt, will it affect our research and development of 300 large silicon wafers?"
Zhang Rujing adjusted his glasses.
"So I have suggested to the leaders before that we take this opportunity to integrate internally, turn foreign trade into domestic demand, get rid of over-reliance on the European and American markets, march into the country, and develop towards the west."
Lu Fei laughed and said: "In the 4 trillion yuan bailout, photovoltaics will have hundreds of billions of subsidies."
"No wonder Mr. Lu placed the Silicon Group in the northwest. It turned out that he had already calculated that the photovoltaic industry would move to the west."
Zhang Rujing had to admire his long-term vision. Only such a person can lead China Semiconductor to rise!
Everyone changed into dustproof clothing and came to the factory. Employees in all links and departments were already on standby, waiting to give orders.
"Mr. Lu, shall we start?"
After Liang Mengsong confirmed it was correct again and again, he looked sideways.
"let's start!"
Lu Fei nodded.
Just look at the wafers, and after going through all the manufacturing process steps, they will enter the yield testing stage.
The wafer is the carrier of the chip. This test link is to put a complete wafer into the chip testing machine, and use the micro-needle structure of the chip test card to contact fixed points on the chip to complete the input and reading of electrical signals.
, to achieve the test effect.
Until around 5 o'clock, the statistical yield of this batch of trial production wafers for the complex core was newly released, reaching a satisfactory 41%.
"Ouch!"
In an instant, the entire factory burst into cheers and applause.
Trial production can reach 41%, which not only means the successful completion of risky trial production, but also makes it easier to complete the product rate in the future.
If the technical direction is right, then the boat can really cross the ten thousand mountains.
In addition to his heartfelt joy and excitement, Lu Fei decisively paid overtime pay, as well as bonuses, bonuses, and special bonuses!
In addition, high temperature subsidies are also issued!
What? Summer is almost over?
Is there no high temperature in autumn? Take care of your hair!
Every aspect went smoothly. According to the regulations, employees could take turns taking vacations happily, not only for the future of the company, but also for generous bonuses, and to finally have a belated reunion with their families. Applause almost resounded from every corner of the factory.
"Mr. Lu, in the future, wafer foundry will have to rely on composite cores!"
Zhang Rujing's eyes were slightly red, as if he had seen the scene of celebrating when SMIC was successful. Although he was regretful, he was also excited.
This was originally what SMIC should do, but due to TSMC's sniping, it failed to do so. Fortunately, there is still a complex core.
There is no doubt that Fuxin is currently China’s number one brother!
"It is not enough for China to rely on one Fuxin or one SMIC alone. We must work together and make progress together."
Lu Fei waved his hand.
Zhang Rujing nodded and kept saying it was amazing.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Wang, Dr. Liang and Professor Hu, as well as all the employees of Fuxin. It is all their contribution and hard work."
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Especially Dr. Liang, he is the Bill Gates of the chip industry. Having him in the complex chip industry will be even more powerful."
"No, no, no, I think the biggest contributor is Mr. Lu. He is better than Bill Gates!" Liang Mengsong raised his hand.
"You two, please don't be so humble."
Zhang Rujing asked: "What are the next steps for re-core?"
Liang Mengsong glanced at Lu Fei, saw him nodding, and said with confidence: "We have two tasks, one is the yield and mass production of 32n, and the other is the research and development of the 28n process. When these two are completed, the next step
There is only one goal, and that is to directly develop 14n, which will take 5 to 7 years!”
"What about 20n? If you don't plan to develop it, do you want to jump directly to 14n like 40n?"
Zhang Rujing was shocked.
"Yes, Professor Hu and Dr. Liang both think that generation skipping is theoretically feasible, so I think it is no problem. After all, if we are lagging behind in hardware equipment such as photolithography machines, we can only improve the lagging behind in terms of process technology.
Give me time to get it back."
Lu Fei showed a helpless smile.
"You are the only one, Mr. Lu, and you are the only one who can gamble like this with Logic!" Zhang Rujing was filled with emotion. After all, Logic is not listed on the market and does not need to explain to shareholders or investors.
Maybe according to what Liang Mengsong said, Fuxin needs him.
But we need Mr. Lu even more! Because he is so damn rich!
A capitalist is no longer interested in money, but is interested in chips and semiconductors. It’s so simple!
"Mr. Zhang, these are company secrets, please do not disclose them to the public." Lu Fei gave him a meaningful look.
"Understood, understood, I won't mention it to anyone."
Zhang Rujing vowed: "By the way, Mr. Lu, can I tell Shangzhou the good news about the successful trial production of 32n?"
"sure!"
Lu Fei pondered for a moment and nodded.
Originally, the news about the 32n process was not intended to be hidden like the 65n lithography machine. Not only was it not hidden, but it also had to be known to everyone, otherwise how could the re-core grab orders.
Zhang Rujing left the factory in a hurry, took out her mobile phone from the changing closet, and called Jiang Shangzhou. She was so excited that she burst into tears.
Just that night, the first breakthrough in 32n chip technology spread like wildfire, spreading from inside the complex core to the outside world, immediately triggering a big earthquake in the circle, spreading from one to ten, and then to a hundred.
Peers in the semiconductor industry, teachers and classmates in colleges and universities, and leaders of relevant departments are all seeking information from various channels.
The complex landline phone rang non-stop from morning to night.
Until the moment Fuxin officially announced it on its official Weibo account, public opinion was in an uproar and was completely boiling!
The media follows the hot topics closely and goes completely crazy!
Compared with the reserve of the media, the Internet media highlights an exciting aspect. The title can be as gimmick as it is, and it can be exaggerated as much as possible.
Keyboard warriors also became active, filling in and bragging.
[I took a closer look at Gao Yuanyuan’s appearance. She has the appearance of a prosperous husband one thousand percent. In fact, the only difference between me and Lu Fei is Gao Yuanyuan! Lu Fei has taken away my great luck! ]
[I can hear your calculations even in Tongliao!]
[Lu Fei, for the sake of 32n’s contribution, I forgive you! Although you and I have a sworn hatred for seizing my wife, I have decided to forgive you! Yuanyuan, you must be happy! 】
[Chasing Platform Semiconductor? TSMC in 2009]
[Lu Fei, please save the graphics card! Reduce the price of this special graphics card to the price of sand! Please!]
[Can you please stop bragging? It’s just that the trial production was successful. Let’s wait until mass production comes out before bragging!]
[China is still far behind. If Lu Fei was so capable, he might as well make the steel balls for ballpoint pens! 】
【…………】
The media's enthusiasm inevitably made Lu Fei and Fu Xin once again appear on hot searches, post bars, forums, blogs, portals, Q groups, and all major platforms, causing a stir.
It even made it to the Yangma of the day.
Mainland Semiconductor was certainly excited about the breakthrough in composite cores, but when the news spread abroad, they were shocked but also worried.
"I knew Liang Mengsong was a great talent, but I didn't expect that he was such a great talent. I really shouldn't have given it up to Fu Xin! Back then, I should have snatched him away no matter how much it cost!"
Li Jianxi was deeply regretful.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Li Zaiyong lowered his head in shame. He was the one who handled this matter. Not counting Lu Fei's advantage, the Jiang Shangyi he hired was still a waste whose name was bigger than his reality. He couldn't afford to be a leader of Samsung.
"It's not all your fault. It's because we, father and son, made a mistake. We didn't expect such a man of God to exist." Li Jianxi sighed with emotion.
"Dad, this bastard Lu Fei did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!" Li Zaiyong gritted his teeth, "It's not a good time to choose, but after our negotiating team comes back."
"Do you think Lu Fei will be as motivated as you are?"
Li Jianxi rolled his eyes, "But this timing is really strange. TSMC is already suspecting Liang Mengsong's breach of contract. Isn't Lu Fei afraid of irritating TSMC by doing this?"
"Is there any fraud here?"
Lee Jae-yong adjusted his glasses.
"Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, for us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. It can accelerate the intensification of the conflict between TSMC and Fuxin. However, it is a pity that the technology sharing agreement between us and Fuxin only reaches 40n.
Samsung still needs to conquer the 32n process."
Li Jianxi said with a straight face, "I'm falling behind."
"Dad, don't worry, we won't be far behind. We can also complete the trial production of 32n within this year, and although the re-core is earlier than us, mass production may not be faster than us."
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Lee Jae-yong's eyes, "TSMC will definitely not allow complex cores to successfully complete mass production so easily."
At the same time, the news reached Baodao.
TSMC immediately held a high-level meeting. Faced with the indisputable facts, Zhang Zhongmou had to sigh: "I knew that Fuxin was chasing us, but I didn't expect that it would be so fast!"
"Mr. Zhang, the key to Fuxin's ability to complete 32n trial production so quickly lies in Hu Zhengming and Liang Mengsong, especially Liang Mengsong!"
Cai Lixing gritted his teeth.
"I finally understand why Fuxin can grow from a layman who knows nothing to surpassing SMIC so quickly. I thought it was just Hu Zhengming's credit, but I didn't expect that the root is Liang Mengsong. It all makes sense.
It makes sense."
Zhang Zhongmou was already regretting it in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang, I think the information Samsung handed us has become more credible. Although Fuxin denies it, Liang Mengsong must have breached the contract. Even if he did not violate the competition agreement, he must have violated the confidentiality agreement and stole TSMC's technology.
.”
Cai Lixing tried hard to find reasons for himself.
Before Zhang Zhongmou could say anything, the entire conference room was filled with anger, and everyone kept bombarding Liang Mengsong.
"Liang Mengsong is a provocation, this is definitely a provocation!"
"He is a traitor! A traitor to TSMC! A traitor to the entire Taiwan semiconductor industry! I want to report him!"
"Mr. Zhang, let's do it. We can't indulge Fuxin over and over again just because of logical orders. We should deal with Fuxin as hard as we did with SMIC! Deal with Liang Mengsong!"
"Can we file a judicial prohibition of employment lawsuit against him? Liang Mengsong must be allowed to resign from Fuxin!"
Looking at Luo Weiren, Cai Lixing and the others, Zhang Zhongmou snorted coldly, "I've been talking for a long time, do you have any evidence?"
Suddenly, the whole place fell silent.
"It's empty talk and just relying on gossip from Samsung. How can it be brought to the table? How can it be brought to court?"
Zhang Zhongmou's face darkened: "What if it's Li Jianxi's plan to create a wedge between TSMC and Fuxin?"
Everyone looked at each other with awkward expressions.
Seeing this, Luo Weiren said, "Mr. Zhang, I think Samsung's news is credible. In the past few years when Liang Mengsong has been teaching in the Mainland, the composite core manufacturing process has advanced rapidly from 65n to 32n, and the speed has even surpassed Samsung's alliance of four franchises.
"
Cai Lixing was excited and added: "Yes, and according to the engineers sent by Samsung to Logic Exchange, Liang Mengsong went to Shuimu University to teach, and the people he taught were not students. In fact, he has been helping Fuxin train senior engineers in semiconductors."
"Let people collect evidence, especially that Liang Mengsong violated the non-competition agreement and leaked technical secrets to Fuxin."
Zhang Zhongmou said seriously: "No matter how much it costs."
"yes!"
Luo Weiren, Cai Lixing and others spoke in unison.
"Must be quick!"
Zhang Zhongmou murmured: "We cannot let Fuxin develop like this anymore." Then he told Luo Weiren, "Go to Bangzi. Jiang Shangyi has resigned from Samsung. Recall him to continue to preside over TSMC's technology research and development."
"Mr. Zhang!"
Cai Lixing was so excited that if Jiang Shangyi returned, his position would not be secure. He immediately hinted that Jiang Shangyi's performance in Samsung was mediocre, which proved that he was not the best.
Rather, TSMC’s platform is fine!
"Haha, what do you know."
Zhang Zhongmou smiled coldly, "That was the agreement I made with Jiang Shangyi in advance. Taking into account the development of TSMC, I asked him to go to Samsung and try to have as little contact with related competitive technologies as possible. He agreed, so I let him go to Samsung and only work.
, if we don’t contribute, otherwise Samsung will not be overtaken by Fuxin in terms of technology.”
"Hiss~"
Everyone took a breath, no wonder Samsung has been lagging behind in foundry manufacturing. Co-author Jiang Shangyi, a technical leader, is a hidden stake for TSMC to penetrate into the enemy.
"Do you want Father Jiang to deal with Liang Mengsong?"
Luo Weiren understood it heartily.
"right!"
Zhang Zhongmou's purpose of recruiting Jiang Shangyi back was to hunt down the "traitor general" Liang Mengsong. Jiang Shangyi was the knife in his hand. Let Lu Fei and Liang Mengsong dance around for a while longer.
Let’s see how long Fuxin can be arrogant!
After get off work, I felt a little unwell, so I sent it in advance.
