"You continue to keep an eye on the progress of the project and reorganize the 0.13 micron process technology. Identify the immature areas and technical deficiencies of the process and improve them one by one. I went to the wafer factory to take a look at the high-tech products ordered from Fuso and the United States.
Has the equipment arrived?”
"Don't worry! Mr. Zhang, leave this to us. You're so old and you haven't had any rest for two days and one night. You're staying with us in the laboratory, so you'd better take a rest first! In case your body can't bear it."
"Okay, I'll just squint in the office for an hour."
President Zhang Zhongmou waved his hand tiredly, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
His eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely depressed.
After all, he is already 62 years old. Following young and middle-aged researchers around in the laboratory, Zhang Zhongmou feels deeply exhausted from both energy and physical strength. Age is not forgiving!
Think about those days
I didn't sleep in the laboratory for three days and nights, and drank more than 100 cups of coffee alone, and I was still able to maintain high energy.
It definitely won’t work now!
A "ding" sound
The elevator door opened, and Zhang Zhongmou, who was breathing heavily, walked out of the elevator, and met Lin Xueshan, the executive vice president, walking over in a hurry.
"Snow Mountain, why are you so anxious?"
"Oh, President Zhang, we have received the latest news from Atlantic Jinko. It is said that they have obtained the advanced 90-nanometer process and formed hundreds of unique patents. This is very bad for us.
!I am preparing to report to you."
"What?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue. Zhang Zhongmou was shocked and his body swayed. Lin Xueshan quickly stepped forward and supported him with both hands;
"You...your body..."
"It's okay. Let's talk about it in my office."
After all, he was the man at the helm who had experienced big events for a long time. Zhang Zhongmou stretched out his hand and waved it lightly.
Holding back the shock and great uneasiness in his heart, he took the lead and walked towards his office.
Lin Xueshan glanced at his back worriedly, gritted his teeth and followed closely.
in the office
Zhang Zhongmou threw his tired body into the soft sofa. The secretary brought him hot tea. He picked it up and took a sip. He felt a flow of heat enter his stomach, which relieved him a little.
When the secretary left, she closed the door.
Lin Xueshan asked worriedly, "President Zhang, would you like to take a rest first or see a doctor?"
"No, I know that my body is fine and there is nothing serious. Please introduce the situation first. This is a matter of life and death and cannot be delayed for a moment."
"Oh well."
Lin Xueshan organized his words and said;
"In the Shenzhen Science Park, in addition to American and Japanese electronics scientists, Taiwan and Taiwan have the largest number of technicians. We have always paid attention to the technological development of Atlantic Jinko and actively collected relevant scientific and technological information.
The latest news coming out shows;
Atlantic Jinko's 90-nanometer advanced process technology, which has invested heavily in research and development, has achieved great results and formed a complete patent pool, with a high level of technological maturity.
It is estimated that it has reached the level of application.
The Taiwanese researchers who provide scientific and technological information are engaged in research in sub-fields and cannot have a full view of the entire scientific and technological research project.
Because of Atlantic Jinko's airtight confidentiality measures, it has been impossible to determine the progress of the other party's scientific research and whether it has reached the level of application?
A few days ago
Big boss Wang Yaocheng inspected the Science Park
Large bonuses were also given to the scientific researchers of the project team who participated in key research. Many electronic scientists I knew also received paid vacations, and they also enjoyed free benefits in high-star hotels in tourist resorts.
The project team has been disbanded. What does this mean?
Judging from various signs, more than 80% of the 90-nanometer advanced process technology has been successful and is about to be put into use."
Lin Xueshan's words pushed Zhang Zhongmou into the abyss little by little. His body gradually became cold and he felt like he was falling into boundless darkness.
The wealthy and powerful Atlantic Jinko Group seems to be an insurmountable mountain lying on the road ahead.
over the years
TSMC is having a very difficult time in the foundry field. Although it has achieved some results and occupied nearly 20% of the international market share, it has made little profit.
To be more precise, it should be more than one can make ends meet.
Under Zhang Zhongmou’s hard work, TSMC is still stumbling along.
Although a wafer factory that has invested heavily in construction can still earn a small profit after depreciation of the equipment, this alone is not enough.
Zhang Zhongmou knew;
Companies in the electronics and semiconductor field must make huge profits to support huge R&D investments and exchange technological progress for greater market share and more profits.
This international market cannot accommodate many companies, maybe three, maybe five, and certainly no more.
Taiwan has smooth channels for scientific and technological exchanges with countries such as Japan and the United States. Zhang Zhongmou himself has inextricable connections with large European and American companies and has always been very well-informed.
What is certain is that,
TSMC's 0.13 micron process technology ranks second after Atlantic Jinko. It is already in the late stage of technological research and only needs a period of time to be perfected.
The third place on the list should be Intel, which is still in the process of technological research and it will take some time to produce results.
This pattern
It’s not that American companies are technologically backward, but that large American companies have too many product lines and cannot concentrate on this area.
Like a faltering giant, it is still developing step by step.
Texas Instruments produces everything from military radars to civilian navigation equipment, from ordinary walkie-talkies to spacecraft electronic components, from energy-saving light bulbs to automotive electronic components, covering a wide range of areas.
General Electric of the United States covers a wider range of fields, producing everything from advanced aircraft turbofan engines to hydroelectric generators, from camping RVs to computers, and its product catalog is vast and thick.
Intel and Micron are not so exaggerated, and the situation is similar.
For them, competition in the semiconductor field has nothing to do with the overall situation and is not their core business.
On the other hand, TSMC is a semiconductor chip manufacturer that specializes in the foundry field. This shocking news from the mainland sent Zhang Zhongmou into the abyss and chilled him to his bones.
Once it fails, it will result in bankruptcy and liquidation.
How can Zhang Zhongmou accept that all his hard work over the past ten years since returning to Taiwan has been wasted?
But he didn't dare to take any chances.
The king who stands tall on the top of the world's wealth has always been ruthless towards his competitors and never left any room for retreat.
Zhang Zhongmou knew that Zhang Rujing, a subordinate of Texas Instruments, was completely a technical geek in terms of personality. He was gentle, focused, and kind to others. He did not like to fight in public and only focused on technical matters.
Zhang Rujing is a very dedicated person and a qualified technical leader.
In addition, I am not good at business operations, administrative management and sales.
Atlantic Jinko Group's corporate strategic development, competitive strategy and technological progress are all controlled and promoted by Wang Yaocheng. This is a formidable opponent.
If you look at the brutal suppression of Samsung Group in the past few years, you can see the character of this person, who has always killed his competitors.
The other party has capital and technological advantages and has completely crushed TSMC. Now it has made further progress in advanced manufacturing processes. This is the biggest bad news for TSMC.
Once the bloody price is sacrificed, TSMC will be in danger and in danger.
(Good news, the network is restored and it is still updated every morning. I would like to ask for votes and recommendations by the way. I wish everyone a happy life.)
