Chapter 84 1VS17!
The photoresist was launched online and started overnight under the auspices of Tang Boyun. Luo Jia and Zhang Dongning were also very fortunate to be invited to visit the workshop.
The two of them changed into white dustproof suits and stood under the huge exhaust fan.
The fan roared, completely cleaning the whole body to ensure that no dust could be brought into the workshop.
Then Luo Jia entered the semiconductor chip production line through another sealed glass door.
It feels a bit like the Virus Laboratory of the Parasol Company in Resident Evil, it looks quite nervous and quite cìjī.
In the workshop of SMIC, there are many large equipment and a strong industrial atmosphere.
Nikon, Canon, Asml, Applied Materials, Colin R&D, Tokyo Electronics, and all imported machines in the workshop.
Most machines and manufacturers of these machines have never heard of them. However, it is the giants in these professional fields that dominate the top technology and equipment in the global technology industry.
Luo Jiaxin sighed that in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the gathering of giants is beyond imagination. Almost no Chinese companies participate. We are even unable to even followers of advanced technology and have not really started.
If you want to know where my country's technology industry has the biggest gap with foreign countries, you will find out when you look at it in the workshop of SMIC.
In any case, Luo Jia was still very excited to be able to visit the world's most advanced semiconductor factory.
But the testing process is very boring. Cleaning, making masks, lithography, cleaning, ion implantation, cleaning for the third time, and etching begins...
After standing in the workshop for a few hours, Luo Jia witnessed the complete manufacturing process of the chip for the first time, which is a rare experience.
SMIC's semiconductor process is not the strongest in the world. If it is a factory of TSMC or Intel, its complexity will be even more serious.
......
After the experiment was completed and the complete semiconductor chip was manufactured, SMIC fell into a cheer.
After actual testing, compared with the current top-notch products in the world, the data is not bad, and it is even a little bit smarter.
Luo Jia and Zhang Dongning had breakfast in the SMIC employee restaurant, and countless people were talking excitedly, and Luo Jia and his Star Technology were naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.
"When will you officially supply the goods?" Tang Boyun asked excitedly while gnawing a bun.
Luo Jia calculated in his mind, "Small batch supply can be at the end of this month, and the capacity climbing will be completed and the formal large-scale supply will be officially launched until mid-next month."
Tang Boyun nodded slightly. Industrial production has its objectivity. People and machinery must be run-in before they can finally release all production capacity.
"It's just one month, we can afford to wait!" Tang Boyun laughed and said, "After all, we have been waiting for the domestic products to be replaced for many years. It's not a day or two. Do I want me to contact you with my colleagues in China?"
Luo Jia smiled and said, "It's naturally the best. If you endorse the product, you will be more confident when you talk to colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce."
Tang Boyun disagreed and said, "It should be, let me leave this. I will call the bosses of the company in the same industry to tell them the good news."
"Photoresist is an important basic material in the semiconductor industry. Your technological breakthroughs will definitely be recorded in history in the future!"
Luo Jia shrugged, "The basic R&D costs a lot, but the profit is not high, and even if it succeeds, it will not be very good."
"A while ago, my father asked me what I was doing. I said I was using photoresist. My father frowned and said, "Aren't you a technology company? Why do you still make glue?"
After hearing this, Tang Boyun and Zhang Dongning almost burst into laughter.
But looking back, it's quite sad.
Ordinary people don’t understand basic materials in the technology industry and don’t care. Luo Jia does energy wave wireless charging. Once the product comes out, the world will be filled with excitement. Photoresist, a few people in the industry, understand its value.
It is really rare for Luo Jia and his Star Technology, as a private enterprise, to be willing to invest heavily in basic materials projects.
Tang Boyun smiled and said, "You really don't have a reputation for basic materials, but you can still make money. I know very well in this regard. Once your photoresist project is full, it will immediately become another cash cow from Xingchen Technology. If you can make a lot of money, you don't have to get cheap and behave like it."
Luo Jia smiled and said nothing.
There is no need to hide it. Business investment is just for rewards. The greater the investment, the more rewards it will be.
Luo Jia is not a charity person. If you don’t make money, wouldn’t you be a fool? The photoresist made by Xingchen Chemical will not be more expensive than imported goods, but it will never be cheaper.
According to the current development speed and staffing configuration of Xingchen Technology, money will never be enough to spend. After all, in the field of high-tech, any action means astronomical investment.
......
Tokyo, Shingotsu Chemical Co., Ltd.
President Takeda Kuchi got the latest report from the China Headquarters a few hours ago.
In this explanation, the Huaxia headquarters received amazing news.
Xingchen Chemical, a subsidiary of Xingchen Technology, located in Qidong, has completed the research and development of photoresist and is in full swing to put into production.
Moreover, they are negotiating with many domestic display companies and semiconductor companies and preparing to become new suppliers.
"It's Xingchen Technology again!" Takeda Bear frowned and murmured in a low voice.
In just half a year, Xingchen Technology has risen at a high speed like a rocket, and has completed four major projects, including system optimization, optical, wireless charging, and display, which have caused a heavy blow to the technology industry monopoly system led by Japan, South Korea and the United States.
Shinyue Chemical is also one of the companies that have been severely impacted. Their products in the LCD field are being completely defeated and have reached the point where they are about to completely withdraw from the market.
Takeda Bear Ichi hates Xingchen Technology so much that he grits his teeth.
Now, Xingchen Technology has inserted their black hands into the field of chemistry.
Photoresist is one of the most profitable projects of Shinyue Chemical. If it is replaced by Xingchen Technology, it will bring them a heavy blow.
mì shū cháng Tanibe Makoto knocked on the door and walked in, stood beside Takeda Kuchi, waiting for the president's instructions. He was very nervous and afraid that the president would be furious.
But Hasegawa Makoto observed quietly and found a smile on the corner of President Takeda's mouth. At this time, he was still laughing?
Makoto Hasegawa was confused, but he did not dare to ask.
"Hasei," said Takeda Kuchi, "What do you think is our biggest advantage in the field of photoresist?"
Makoto Hasegawa thought about it, "It should be a cooperative relationship. Our company was established in 1926. It has a long history and strong strength. Since the semiconductor industry and photoresist in the world, we have always been one of the largest suppliers in this field, and customers trust our products very much."
Takeda Huichi shook his head, "Naughty! The reason why Chinese customers buy our products is not out of so-called trust, but because they have no choice."
"Now, there is a local Chinese company that has created first-class photoresist of the same level. They have no reason to continue to cooperate with us."
Hasegawa was frightened and the company had withdrawn from competition in the LCD field. If it lost the photoresist field again, the loss would be too serious.
The topic suddenly changed, and Takeda Bear's eyes became sharp.
"Our biggest advantage is actually cost," said Takeda Kuchi. "After all, our factory has been operating for many years, and the equipment and personnel are in an extremely skilled state. At the same cost, we can produce two tons of photoresist, while new companies entering this industry can only produce one ton."
Makoto Hasegawa was stunned.
What the president said is indeed the truth. The cost of an established company with mature production lines and mature craftsmanship is by no means comparable to that of a new company.
After making money from photoresist for so many years, R&D expenses have long been back. Xinyue Chemical's photoresist cost is actually very low.
Takeda Kazuichi said lightly, "Not only us, but all the giant companies that have been working in the photoresist industry for many years have costs that are incomparable to new companies. This will be our killer weapon to suppress new companies."
"Other colleagues, tok, jsr, Asahi Kasei, have they done anything?"
Makoto Hasegawa hurriedly lowered his head, "There is no action yet, but it is estimated that they have learned the same information as us and are urgently discussing countermeasures."
Takeda Kuchi shook his head slightly, "There is nothing to discuss. The best way to suppress new companies is price war! Use the price advantage and destroy the opponent in one go!"
"After notice, the company's photoresist products will be fully reduced from now on!"
Makoto Hasegawa nodded, "President, how much is it appropriate for us to drop?"
Takeda Kuchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "We will reduce the cost as much as the price."
Makoto Hasegawa was shocked, "I am worthy of being the president! If we sell photoresist at cost prices, we believe that companies that enter the industry will not be able to stop our price storm!"
It is difficult for people who have never been engaged in business to understand the cruelty and bloodiness of business.
In mid-November, just one week after Xingchen Technology officially entered the photoresist field, the war officially began!
The three major American giants in the field of photoresist, Dow Chemical, DuPont, and Huntsman.
The 11 giants of Neon Kingdom, jsr, Nobuo, Tokyo Ekima, Fuji, Sumitomo, Tok, Mitsubishi Chemical, Asahi Kasei, Hitachi Kaise, Shinniter Chemical, Sun Ink.
Korean two heroes, LG Chemistry, Dongying Chemistry.
Italy's last seedling in the field of photoresist, Morton Chemical.
All these giant companies that once dominated the photoresist field launched an extinct price war against the newly born Star Technology subsidiary, Star Chemical!
Chapter completed!
