Chapter 258 Sanxing’s request, the second stop for Moss overseas authorization!

"Apple and Shanhai Microelectronics have reached a huge chip foundry cooperation, and the production can soar!"

"Shanhai Microelectronics won Apple's US$6 billion chip foundry contract, starting a new growth cycle!"

"Apple has become the first international manufacturer to obtain the authorization of Moss's second-generation smart phone system, and may launch a challenge to Sanxing in overseas markets!"

"..."

Park Changcan, the person in charge of Sanxing Dahua District's demonstration business, was browsing the trending news and smelled the unusual smell of Ye Chang.

Could it be that Future Technology has relaxed licensing restrictions?!

Isn’t it true that Apple can only impress Chen Heyu by using sky-high prices for chip manufacturing orders?

In the past two years, Sanxing Shiwang's sales in the Greater China region have continued to decline, with only one-third of its market share, and its shipments even dropped to eighth place.

Rice firmly ranked first, followed by Huayao, Apple, Weiwo, Opal, Zhongxin and Kupai, and Sanxing was crushed without any temper.

He made unimaginable sacrifices to keep that job. Every time he thought about that experience, his body would shake unconsciously, leaving him with a severe stress reaction.

"Chief Cui, Zhang Nan, who is helping him connect Future Technology, is going to visit us in person."

Park Changcan ordered.

"No, Sir Minister!"

Cui Youzhen nodded in response, then turned around and fled the office to deal with that matter. She didn't dare to stay there for a long time.

The minister's recent requests have become more and more outrageous and perverted.

…

"Sorry, only Mr. Chen has the authority to authorize the Moszhiko voice system."

After Zhang Nan understood Hong Pu Changcan's intention, he smiled and refused.

"When will Mr. Chen return to Yancheng?"

Park Changcan did not give up and continued to ask.

"He is just a working man, so he has no right to ask about the boss's schedule."

Zhang Nan shrugged and replied lightly.

"If it's convenient, can you tell me Mr. Chen's contact information? He wants to communicate with him in person."

Park Changcan bowed his waist with the bucket and said with a smile on his face.

"Without the boss's approval, he is not allowed to reveal his private number at will. Bu Nao, he can help me convey the intention of cooperation, or Mr. Pu can go to Shanghai."

Zhang Nan pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.

During that time, Chen Heyu had been staying at the chip R&D center of Shanhai Microelectronics, leading the team to improve the wafer polishing and chemical mechanical polishing processes, hoping to improve the flatness of the wafers and lay a solid technology foundation for Dongyi's process breakthroughs. Base.

"Thank you very much. Please tell Mr. Chen that he will leave immediately to visit Shanghai."

Pu Changcan immediately begged for help without any hesitation.

…

"Sanxing wants to ask Moszhike for voice authorization? He wants to see what kind of bargaining chips they can give."

Chen Heyu couldn't help laughing when he received Zhang Nan's call.

He does intend to open licensing to non-domestic popular brands, but it will not be without cost. Whether Apple will come up with a $6 billion chip order replacement, Sanxing's talk of cooperation is purely a fool's dream.

He shook his head, suppressed his thoughts in his heart, and once again immersed himself in research and development work. He already had some preliminary plans for shrinking the integrated circuit process.

First, purchase a more advanced chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) machine, which is a device used to flatten the surface of silicon wafers. It usually consists of a rotating disc, a grinding fluid supply system, a grinding disc and a grinding head.

During operation, the silicon wafer is placed on the rotating disk, and pressure, abrasive fluid and abrasive particles are applied at the same time.

The friction between the rotating disc and the grinding disc causes the uneven areas on the surface of the silicon wafer to be cut and ground by the abrasive particles, thereby achieving a smoothing effect.

In that field, the CMP machines produced by Huawei Semiconductor have reached the top level in the world. This is not the first time that Shanhai Microelectronics has purchased domestic equipment.

Second, reducing the line width of semiconductor devices, improving photolithography technology, purchasing higher-resolution exposure equipment, and using new materials with higher anti-reflective properties will all have certain effects.

Chen Heyu needs to conduct many repeated experiments to find the best materials and improve the process.

Third, ultra-deep ultraviolet lithography (EUV), because EUV uses a light source with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers, while DUV has a wavelength of 193 nanometers or 248 nanometers, which can achieve higher resolution and smaller line width.

.

For this reason, Chen Heyu specially ordered an EUV lithography machine from AMSL. The equipment was just born and the manufacturing process was very immature. In the first three quarters of 2015, only one was sold.

The second unit is an order from Shanhai Microelectronics Co., Ltd. Each unit is priced at 70 million euros. After conversion, it is 480 million Chinese dollars!

He instantly felt that Apple’s licensing fee was not enough!

In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the gap between photolithography machines is most obvious.

The ASME-5600 i-line lithography machine developed by Hucheng Microelectronics lags behind by three technological gaps and can only support processes above 90 nanometers. It is of no use to Shanhai Microelectronics.

In addition, there is also huge room for improvement in terms of silicon wafer quality and high dielectric constant materials, low resistance impurities, and metal materials.

Spending a lot of money to recruit so many materials science experts, of course, should not be wasted, so we can dig out talents. Several headhunting companies that Chen Heyu cooperated with stayed in the east of the building of Applied Materials, Edo Electronics, and Dow Materials all month long.

Picking up cars every day, and playing the emotional card with the Chinese technicians in foreign countries, and then using high salary inducements to "fool" a large number of employees to join Shanhai Microelectronics.

Driven by money, the company has made rapid progress in silicon ore purification and material optimization. After all, it is very reasonable to make strides forward by stepping on the industry giants.

When Park Changcan came to find him, he was very much in the R&D center, concentrating on AB experiments on high dielectric constant materials.

"Boss, Park Changcan, the person in charge of Sanxingshiwang Dahua District, is waiting for you in the conference room."

He Tingbo came over and informed him.

"Let him wait."

Chen Heyu looked focused, working on his legs, without raising his head, and said calmly.

"No, boss."

He Tingbo stepped aside and looked at her boss curiously. Seeing him skillfully using various instruments, she couldn't help but feel in her heart: "Geniuses are still in the minority after all."

It is said that Chen Heyu has participated in several artificial intelligence and core technologies of Future Technology. In the past few months, the boss has been constantly reading and frequently participated in exchange meetings and process research and development meetings in the foreign semiconductor industry. It is understandable that he will not achieve tomorrow's achievements.

An hour later, Chen Heyu recorded the experimental data on the computer, then took off his anti-static jacket, put on a gray suit jacket, and walked to the conference room with He Tingbo.

When he saw Park Changcan's appearance, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. His kidney-deficient look was completely different from that of Park Changcan two years ago.

He seems to be seven or eight years old!

That stick was played too hard!

"Mr. Chen, you are here. Please leave. It's been a long time."

When Park Changcan saw him walking in, he stood up with a smile, pulled out the chair next to the main seat, and signaled Chen Heyu to go away. For someone who didn't know, he thought Park Changcan was his assistant.

"Oh, Mr. Park, you're welcome."

Although Chen Heyu said that, Da Ma Jin Dao came to the east and looked at him calmly.

"Mr. Chen, he wants to obtain authorization for the Moss second-generation Zhike voice system. If you have any conditions, just ask them."

Pu Changcan saw that Chen Heyu had no intention of speaking, so he gritted his teeth and took the initiative.

Regardless of whether it is a knife!

He asked if he could negotiate for that business, which would be considered as a good thing. Otherwise, an Apple equipped with a Moszhiko voice system would be the most terrible mistake for Sanxing International Market.

"Don't Sanxing have his own Zhi Ke to help him?"

Chen Heyu asked knowingly.

In 2015, the Galaxy S6 smart phone released by Sanxing introduced the smart phone "S Voice", which allows users to use voice commands to perform operations or obtain information.

Despite the mediocre response, China's enthusiastic users have long been accustomed to Moss's highly intelligent products.

In their view, "S Voice" is more like a mentally retarded system.

Even young people in Korea secretly buy the international version of Rice Show Wang to experience the achievements of the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world.

If Rice Technology fails to enter the Korean market, the consequences will be disastrous!

Before coming, Park Changcan had obtained the corresponding authorization and planned to pay some price to make up for the shortcomings of the software.

"Mr. Chen was joking. In terms of product performance, there is no comparison with Moss."

Park Changcan said awkwardly.

"Can I make the decision? Whether Apple can take chip foundry orders from the global market in exchange for his friendship.

So, Sanxing, what can you give in exchange?"

Chen Heyu said with a look of disdain, a smile rising from the corner of his mouth.
