Chapter 164 KrF 248nm UV lithography machine
"An Ran, I must explain this to you in person. Although these seven sets of equipment are manufactured in 1.5 microns, four of them are somewhat different from others."
Wang Anran suddenly became interested.
“What’s the difference?”
"Three of them use high-pressure mercury lamp i-line 365 nanometer light source, and the other four..."
"Professor Zhang, you said it!"
Zhang Dajing smiled at Wang Anran and said, "Anran, I always thought you were more calm than other young people. Now it seems that I just haven't found something that you are interested in!"
Wang Anran gave Zhang Dajing a blank look and said, "Professor Zhang, if you don't say anything, I'm going to turn against you!"
"Okay! OK!" Zhang Dajing shook his head and said, "Anran, there are four units that use krf248 nano excimer laser light sources."
Well, Wang Anran felt that his breathing was a little rapid. There are two wavelengths of the KRF excimer laser light source, one is 248 nanometers, and the other is 193 nanometers.
This is different from high-pressure mercury lighting sources. High-pressure mercury lighting sources are still visible, while krf excimer lasers have entered the category of ultraviolet rays.
Although research on KRF excimer lasers has been started in China and corresponding results have been achieved, the 248-nanometer light source suitable for lithography requires high power at the 100-foot level and particle uniformity must be within the range of 0.3% by 1,000.
The threshold is here.
In fact, ibm used KRF excimer laser light source for semiconductor lithography as early as 1980, and fifteen years later, it is still an unfathomable technical threshold for China.
Unexpectedly, this thing was actually brought to Zhang Dajing...
Wang Anran hurriedly asked: "Professor Zhang, I remember that laser light sources are banned from trade in the Vasenna Agreement. Why are you...?"
"An Ran, you're wrong, the list of restrictions on exports in the WASSENA Agreement did not include 248nm KRF in this year.
However, it should be noted that this laser cannot be used for military purposes, so they will send people to supervise and inspect them regularly."
My own news is still lagging behind!
Wang Anran shook his head. If the embargo of 248-nanometer lithography machine is lifted, foreign countries have made great progress in the application of 193-nanometer lithography machines, and even made breakthroughs in deep purple light.
The reason is very simple. The core of the Wassenah Agreement is the n-2 policy. The basis for the West to approve exports is that the equipment exported to China must be two generations behind.
In fact, the approval procedures are very complicated. When the equipment is really obtained, it is almost the third generation, which is basically about 10 years behind the mainstream international technology.
There was nothing we could do about this. Wang Anran took a sip of water. He thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Professor Zhang, this chip production line can..."
Zhang Dajing interrupted Wang Anran and said, "Anran, this is another thing I want to say. The 248-nanometer laser light source lithography machine can be modified to be used for chip production in a 1-micron process. However, it involves a series of complex optical exposure technologies, and these patents must be converted into capital investment!"
Wang Anran has no objection. If it can be transformed into an immersive lithography machine, the 320-nanometer process will be fine.
Zhang Dajing took out a document and handed it to Wang Anran.
“Equity structure?”
Zhang Dajing nodded.
Wang Anran opened it and was stunned.
The 700 million US dollars accounted for only 35% of the shares. Zhang Dajing's team invested in technology, accounting for 15% of the shares. Zhang Dajing took 5% of the shares, followed by a large number of investors.
Wang Anran also saw the old friend Goldman Sachs, Singapore Investment Group, Wandao International, etc., and so many companies, only invested US$300 million in total, plus some patent authorization, accounting for 45% of the shares.
"An Ran, you know that it is to bring Goldman Sachs in to get our equipment approval faster. After all, Goldman Sachs still has a set of PR."
Wang Anran is not a headache for Goldman Sachs to join the company. He has made a large portion of the funds for Huaxin Technology, and he really only accounts for a little more than one-third of the shares.
The only thing that comforted Wang Anran was that he was still the largest shareholder of the company.
Because it has promised that his shares and voting rights have been handed over to Zhang Dajing, and Zhang Dajing's team and Zhang Dajing's own shares have 20% of the shares.
Together, it is 55% of the shares, which can completely allow Zhang Dajing to keep his word in the new company.
But Huaxin Technology is losing too much!
"But who made me not have the skills! I deserved to be slaughtered."
Wang Anran shook his head. At this time, if you want to play with someone, it will definitely not work without giving a meeting gift.
"Anran, there is another thing I need to clarify. First, the employee stock pool is, which needs to be distributed by each shareholder in proportion. The tentative requirement is 3% now
In addition, this company will eventually go public!”
Wang Anran nodded. Zhang Dajing brought so much capital in, and capital pursues profits. If he doesn't go public, how can he cash out his shares...
"Professor Zhang, regarding the investment of patents, I need my team to evaluate the value of each patent. For the rest, I have no problem here. By the way, Professor Zhang, has the factory been settled?"
"Not yet, our people are coordinating with the Hong Kong government. At present, we have not found a suitable land."
Wang Anran didn't say anything, so he kept Zhang Dajing for public relations!
After he hits a wall, he will know that building a factory in the mainland is also a good choice.
…………
Just when Wang Anyran and Zhang Dajing were entangled, the official discussion started on whether it was Huaxin Technology to lead the development of lithography machines."
For this purpose, the official specially invited a group of scientists and academicians and high-tech state-owned enterprises to participate in the discussion.
It was also here that Liu Chengzhi learned that Huaxin Technology actually extended its tentacles to the field of lithography machines and also reported it to the High-Tech Department of the Development and Reform Commission. This will make you do it. In the future, the domestic IT/IC industry and fantasy technology will have a place?
"I oppose that Huaxin Technology leads the research and development of lithography machines. I have also read the report just now. Huaxin Technology requires the country to support the project in terms of technology.
This is to use the country's resources to make profits for his private enterprises..."
Ni Guangnan was so angry that he couldn't slap the table on this occasion. He waited patiently until Liu Chengzhi finished speaking, and said, "I agree. As for why, I think everyone knows the difficulty of developing a lithography machine.
Even if the whole country is in power, it may not necessarily develop a world-class lithography machine. This is obviously a money-burning project. Only idiots will think about taking advantage of the country from here!”
Liu Chengzhi's old face turned red, and his eyes were a little resentful when he looked at Ni Guangnan.
"You are immortal, you just want to go against labor and capital, right..."
The following speeches are probably mixed with support or opposition, or more oppositions. After all, many people are not at ease with Huaxin Technology.
When it was Mr. Su's turn, he knocked the crutch on the floor twice.
Here, only Mr. Su has this guide, and the old demon child’s majesty is not something that can be seen.
"I also heard that the reasons everyone opposed just now were nothing more than two. One was because they were afraid that Huaxin Technology would take advantage of the country, and the other was because they were afraid that Huaxin Technology would not do well and that they would not be able to bear this responsibility."
"Let me talk about the first reason first. Mr. Liu, you also came from the Academy of Sciences. You haven't seen how many topics Huaxin Technology has invested in academic research, and how many topics can make profits.
I have participated more or less. I remember that there are some basic research projects in mathematics and physics. Huaxin Technology has free support. I would like to ask Mr. Liu, you fantasy technology has funded several projects and how much money has invested in this area..."
Liu Chengzhi was stunned. Why did Old Su point his gun at him as soon as he came up?
"Old Su, this is not the same thing. Moreover, Fantasy Technology has also paid a lot of profits to the Academy of Sciences. This is also supporting scientific research!"
"But, that's what it should be. The Academy of Sciences is your major shareholder. Are you still thinking about not paying the profit?"
Liu Chengzhi was choked and couldn't say a word. He only hoped that Mr. Su would finish his words early and end early. Here, he would be suffering.
Mr. Su scolded Liu Chengzhi, then turned to look at everyone, and continued, "Forget it, let me say one more thing. You will know if Huaxin Technology will use this project to make money."
"You said Mr. Su!"
Su Qingsen stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Huaxin Technology took out nearly 800 million yuan of national tax refunds, plus Huaxin Technology Co., Ltd., which is worth 5 billion yuan, and used this money to establish a science and technology award fund. Anyone who is doing it may become the beneficiaries of this fund..."
"call!"
"Fifty-eight billion!"
"What are you going to do..."
Mr. Su glanced at the audience and continued: "I can guarantee responsibly that Huaxin Technology will never make money from this project."
Bu Xiangdong, general manager of Yanjing Optical Equipment Company, shook his head. In his opinion, letting himself be like a big state-owned enterprise follow a private enterprise will be unable to bear the weight.
Seeing Mr. Su say, he hurriedly said, "But Mr. Su, this doesn't mean that Huaxin Technology has the ability to undertake such a big project!"
"Don't have this ability?" Su Qingsen shook her head.
"I don't know what it means to be capable. Many people should be using the eta software developed by Huaxin Technology.
Someone has definitely seen the operating system they developed.
You should have used small computer servers and graphics cards that are at the top of the world.
Not to mention the CPU that is about to be released..."
Whispering from the audience.
"I didn't expect that Huaxin Technology has developed so many heavyweight products, and almost none of them fills the gap in China. There are also CPUs. Have they developed CPUs? How are the performance?"
"I just know that they want to develop CPUs. Has their CPU produced a finished product?"
Most of the people present didn't know about this.
Su Qingsen looked at Liu Chengzhi and said, "Xiao Liu, tell me, Huaxin Technology's CPU, you know the best."
Everyone's eyes turned to Liu Chengzhi, and he stood up and said to everyone reluctantly: "Huaxin Technology has indeed produced CPU, and its performance has reached the world's advanced level..."
"Well!"
Chapter completed!
