Chapter 133 Immersion Microcosm Technology
The technology of the islanders in the field of semiconductor manufacturing is undoubtedly top-notch.
Wang Anran looked at Nakamura and made his request.
"Mr. Murakami, your suggestion is not unnegotiable. Huaxin Technology's opinion is that in order to ensure that the technology does not spread, the production of display chips must be carried out in the mainland.
And if you invest in building a factory in mainland China, Huaxin Technology can hand over other chip foundry businesses to you."
After listening to it, Murakami felt that Wang Anran had no sincerity in cooperation.
How much does a wafer processing plant cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and according to the Batumi successor and the WASSONNA Agreement, high-precision semiconductor technology must comply with the non-proliferation agreement, which is difficult to do even if you want to.
Not to mention that a Nintendo game company does not have the ability to build a wafer factory, even if it has this ability, if it does, it means that Nintendo will be the next Toshiba.
"Wang Sang, your requirements are too high. Even if there is no interference from other factors, the funds required for a brand new 800-nanometer wafer processing plant are still something Nintendo cannot afford, so..."
Speaking of this, Wang Anran had nothing to hide.
"Mr. Murakami, you can rest assured about the financial matters. Huaxin Technology can pay the money and does not require the most advanced technology. The 1.5-micron semiconductor manufacturing process is enough. In return, Huaxin is willing to authorize the display chip technology and pay a service fee of 10% of the production line value. What do you think?"
In 1995, TSMC also entered the 800-nanometer manufacturing process. The current mainstream conquering direction is 500-nanometer. Intel has even been doing research on the 320-nanometer manufacturing process for a long time.
Technology with three generations difference is at most a third-class monitoring project in the Wassenah Agreement, and there is no major problem in procedurally.
Wang Anran saw that Murakami was moved and said hurriedly: "Mr. Murakami, the chip industry in the island country continues to shrink. Toshiba, nec, and Fujitsu have a large amount of production capacity idle. I think it should not be difficult to buy a 1.5 micron production line. If Nintendo is willing to be this lobbyist, Huaxin Technology is willing to provide Mr. Murakami with $500,000 in lobbying funds."
After hearing this, Murakami suffocated. Although he earned a lot, he was short of money.
A few years ago, like most islanders, he invested all his assets and even bank loans into the stock market and housing market. Even now, Murakami is still under heavy financial pressure.
In his opinion, $500,000 can already free him from the lock.
In addition, there is almost no big risk in this matter, and what he needs to do is simply lobby for Nintendo's senior executives to agree with his idea. After all, the company can also get a 10% commission.
Thinking of this, Murakami nodded and said, "Wang Sang, I think your suggestion Nintendo will be interested, but I have a question, that is, the 1.5 micron production process cannot meet the processing requirements of display chips..."
Wang Anran shrugged, you only need to get a production line in Zhongcun. It doesn’t matter if the display chip is given to you. After all, the future trend is the design of a full-architecture stream processor. Just like your chip production line, the backward things are not as important as outsiders think...
…………
1.5 microns. If a 1.5 micron production line can be obtained, Huaxin Technology can produce its own chips on auxiliary chips, and can even supply domestic microcontroller production.
Even Jiang Yan’s decoding chip and embedded system chip are no problem.
It can be fully invested and generate value.
Of course, this production line can also be used for teaching and research.
Wang Anran looked at the water cup on the table and even made a bolder attempt. What would happen if he realized the invasive shading technology in the 1.5 micron process?
The so-called immersion microfilm technology is to sprinkle a layer of water film of a specific thickness on the wafer. When light passes through the water film, refraction will occur, thereby reducing the originally larger projection by 30% to 40%. The significant change brought about is a significant improvement in the manufacturing process.
This technology has been studied in the 1980s, but researchers found that splashing water on wafers may have unexpected consequences, and bubbles in the water will seriously affect the yield rate of wafer chips.
In addition, during this period, the international development of light sources has made rapid progress, and the wavelength of light has quickly developed to 192 nanometers, which can meet the needs of microscopy. At this moment, there is no such urgent need for immersive microscopy technology...
Therefore, the research on this technology has been stagnated and was only picked up after 2000.
This time has been long enough.
If Huaxin Technology wants to overtake on the curve, it is not OK to use some tricks.
Immersive microscopy technology is the future development direction, and compared with lithography machines, it is undoubtedly much less difficult.
In the first batch of cooperation with Qinghai University, Wang Anran granted huge amounts of funds to study the refraction of light at various wavelengths, and the accuracy of the measurement data is required to be at the sixth decimal point.
At the same time, in-depth research is conducted on the formation of water films and the elimination of air bubbles.
Of course, Wang Anran also "guided" his work from time to time.
In his previous life, Wang Anran paid great attention to his knowledge in the chip manufacturing industry.
Thanks to the country, in 9102, our country had mastered the immersion microscope technology, and the United States' blockade has become meaningless.
Therefore, in the world, you can easily find technical books related to immersion microscopy. The difference is that the wavelength of light waves is different, and it requires long-term debugging in actual operation.
Huaxin Technology needs a chip production line, and Wang Anran has made many attempts to do this. Compared with the island countries, Wang Anran has placed more hope on Zhang Dajing.
When Wang Anran learned that Zhang Dajing would come to Yanjing in late May, he was very happy and had a bottle of Maotai with his father Wang Dongsheng at night.
At the same time, the Counter-Strike elite was generous and brilliant at the annual e3 game exhibition held by the Los Angeles Convention and Exhibition Center in the United States.
It was named "Best Game of the Year", "Most Creative Game of the Year", and "The Game Players Want to Have the Most".
The e3 Game Exhibition is the largest game exhibition among the world's three major game exhibitions, and its influence in the game industry is no match for it.
The next day, after media reports, it caused another sales frenzy, and 300,000 copies were sold across the United States on the same day.
Some unofficial organizations even held many private tournaments, with prize money ranging from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
This naturally also helped the popularity of the Counter-Strike elite.
A reporter from the Wall Street Journal commented, “There has never been a game as popular as the Counter-Strike. What’s amazing is that it comes from China.”
This naturally attracted the attention of Wall Street crocodile.
