"Welcome to Ziwei Semiconductor's press conference!"
Gao Lan walked onto the stage from behind the scenes, wearing a formal suit.
The spotlights are also shining on her, and the cameramen have already pointed their cameras.
The audience immediately burst into warm applause. After the applause, Gao Lan spoke this time:
"Thank you, viewers. Before we start our topic today, I have some prefaces that need to be introduced."
"Everyone should know about the photolithography machine, the chip manufacturing equipment. This is a crown on the industrial pearl and plays an immeasurable role in today's semiconductor field. It is what we call photolithography."
"In the development process of semiconductor technology, the feature sizes of devices are getting smaller and smaller, and the photolithography process has become more and more complex, which has also led to the increasing cost of next-generation photolithography technology. To pursue the reduction of feature sizes, it is necessary to
Reduce the exposure wavelength.
Among next-generation lithography technologies that are more advanced than DUV and EUV, electron beam lithography has been proven to have very high resolution, but its production efficiency is too low."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the audience immediately concentrated their attention.
"But in the past, some scientists also proposed other methods of making chips, such as the ice carving method."
"This method needs to be completed at minus 140 degrees, and the surrounding environment must be relatively vacuum. Moreover, it has a huge advantage, that is, it causes zero pollution to the environment."
Although this method is good, its conditions are more stringent than that of a photolithography machine, and it even costs more. Currently, the academic research community is not very optimistic about it.
“Then there is nanoimprinting technology. This technology was proposed by Zhou Yun, a Chinese scientist at the end of the last century. Different from traditional photolithography technology, nanoimprinting transfers the pattern on the mold directly to the substrate.
to achieve mass production..."
Gao Lan briefly introduced this nanoimprint technology.
"Today, our Ziwei Semiconductor has used this principle to successfully develop the world's first nanoimprint machine that can manufacture true 10-nanometer chips. It is Feixing No. 1!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the image of the Feixing-1 10-nanometer imprinting machine suddenly appeared on the big screen.
Judging from the image, this nanoimprint machine is square in shape, covered in silver-white paint, and has the unique logo of Ziwei Semiconductor.
However, its internal structure is completely different from that of a photolithography machine, but the internal structure is not shown, which is also required for confidentiality.
"Feixing 1, the entire fuselage weighs 150 tons, is mainly based on nanoimprinting technology, and is assisted by the optical system of Chongmingniao Optics. Furthermore, we also add the Baize operating system of Baize Company
, and artificial intelligence algorithms, you can issue and complete operation instructions just by speaking!"
"Oh my God! We did it!"
"Fake! They actually developed equipment that can replace the photolithography machine1"
"How is this possible?!"
There were constant exclamations at the scene, and even the big guys sitting in the front row were shaken.
"At the beginning of this century, the chip manufacturing technology at that time strictly followed Moore's Law, mainly 130 nanometers, but it took more than ten years to develop to 22 nanometers, and then now the chip manufacturing technology has entered the 7 nanometer era. This is the current
The real status of chip technology, and those so-called 5 nanometers or even 3 nanometers are just word games on naming. Even these processes may be improved from 10 nanometer technology.
Today we will strictly abide by Moore's Law and name it after actual process technology! Return to reality!"
When he said this, the camera glanced at the representatives of major chip manufacturers such as Sansang, Taimei Electric and Yingtel, which immediately made them embarrassed.
Because this word game started with Sansang.
Originally, Ying Teer was considered an honest person, but later he was led astray.
"Hahaha! Have you seen the expression on Representative Sansang's face? It's so ugly!"
"Representative of Sansang: Don't bring someone who exposes your shortcomings like this!"
The audience started making cheerful comments in the live broadcast room.
"Then I would like to ask, Mr. Gao, does your company's nanoimprint machine adopt some cutting-edge technology or equipment from Chouguo or ASML?"
At this time, a somewhat reckless blond reporter raised the microphone and asked in the language of Dragon Country.
This made Xu Li frown at the scene. Are you here to cause trouble?
However, he is not in charge of the meeting now. How will Gao Lan respond?
Now that Gao Lan is considered the president of a subsidiary company, it is also a test for the big boss Xu Li to see how she copes with this situation.
Gao Lan on the stage also had an obviously unhappy expression. Before her speech was over, someone interrupted, so she put on a smile and said to the blond reporter:
"This journalist friend, which media company are you from?"
"I'm from Pengbo Society."
"Oh? Pengbo News is also a large international news media. I think the quality of reporters should be very good. Why did you interrupt me like an anxious little old lady before I entered the question period?
Speech, this is not a good behavior, Mr. Reporter."
Gao Lan raised an eyebrow and talked to her in fluent English.
The reporter understood it instantly and his face turned red.
The audience present also understand English and naturally know what Gao Lan is asking.
As for the viewers in the live broadcast room...
"What is this young lady asking? I'm a poor English student, please help me."
"Hahaha! Let me translate it for you..."
"Well said! Why is this news agency so rude? Mr. Gao opened the microphone before he said he could ask questions."
"It seems that this is the quality of journalists from the Lighthouse Country."
Noticing the looks coming from all directions, the blond reporter had no choice but to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I was reckless."
After seeing the reporter admit his mistake, Gao Lan nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, since this is not an example, otherwise I will probably ask you to leave the venue, but since you asked the question, I will satisfy the curiosity of the audience."
She paused for a moment and then continued: "All the equipment and technology of the Feixing 10 nanometer imprinting machine are domestically produced. They do not use any foreign patents or technical equipment. They are all borrowed from my parent company Suiren Group.
Developed by mobilizing overall technical resources!"
The sonorous and powerful tone shocked many people.
"Really or fake?"
"Suiren Group? Isn't it that sanitation company that does garbage recycling?"
"The one you're talking about is Qinglan Environmental Sanitation, which is a subsidiary of Suiren Group. We confused our brothers."
"I didn't expect the Suiren Group to have such terrifying technology! It's so terrifying!"
"Doesn't this mean that we have directly entered the door of 10-nanometer chips? We no longer need to rely on imports?"
"Basically yes, if what Mr. Gao said is true, then when the 10-nanometer chip is produced, it will be similar to the 7-nanometer chip produced by Taiyuan Electromechanical!"
"My grandfather's uncle's grandfather! There is finally hope for domestic chips! As soon as the chips come out, I will burn them for you!"
"Upstairs, I'm your grandfather. You don't need a chip, just send me the money directly! (Manual funny)"
But the blond reporter obviously didn't believe it and wanted to ask again, but thinking of the embarrassing scene just now, he decided to wait until the question session.
Then, after Gao Lan introduced other matters about Feixing 1, he announced that he would enter the on-site question and answer session.
