Chapter 313 Etching equipment industry layout! Underestimating the enemy’s application materials!

"Related to a heat treatment equipment company called Ouda, they have developed a single crystal silicon vacuum annealing furnace whose performance is comparable to the Centura annealing furnace.

Therefore, driven by Shanhai Microelectronics, most wafer and chip manufacturers in China began to choose Ouda 1000 for the annealing process."

Barlow was well prepared and took his time to submit a detailed investigation report.

"ShanHai microelectronics? If I remember correctly, aren't they a chip foundry company? How come they are related to a heat treatment equipment manufacturer?"

The vice president was dubious, took the document and read it attentively.

The name Shanhai Microelectronics is no stranger to him. In 2015, it was once the largest purchaser of Applied Materials in Greater China.

Purchased a large amount of supporting vapor deposition, ion implantation, chemical mechanical polishing, etching, cleaning equipment, as well as thin film precursors, abrasives and polishing materials, with an order amount of up to 1 billion US dollars.

It can be said that 10% of the company's annual performance was supported by Shanhai Microelectronics.

Half an hour later.

Luo Wenshan was calm and calm, and greeted with a smile.

"OK, I understand."

Lao Hu chuckled, and Pidianpidian followed behind him. As an old friend of Chen Heyu, after joining Shanhai Film and Television, he was extremely satisfied with the film and television resources available to him.

Wu Maozhe and Xie Shengdong's astronomical dividends of 1.45 billion Chinese dollars per year strongly motivate all employees.

Hu Ge was speechless and looked up at the sky, looking inexplicably uncomfortable.

Luo Wenshan took a look at the road conditions and said helplessly. He leaned in front of the car window and looked at the surrounding environment boredly.

"Exciting! Huahong Chip is welcoming a breakthrough. Huahong Integration will invest 10 billion Chinese dollars to expand the 28nm chip production line!"

Some college students who are about to graduate have posted messages on social platforms to thank Shanhai Microelectronics for its contribution.

After that, he slowed down his pace and stopped slowly.

The vice president raised his head again, thought for a while and said: "I will report it to the board of directors. Before the big boss makes a decision, the cooperative relationship with the other party will remain as usual."

"You need to exercise more!"

The quality is pretty good and it has the potential to become a hit drama."

"Mr. Luo, we will arrive at the other party's headquarters in about half an hour."

Rushing to Shanghai from all over the country, who doesn’t know anyone, isn’t it just to get the patent authorization?

Even if Shanhai Microelectronics takes away 20% of the net profit, he is willing to do so, which is better than wandering around in the low-end market.

More than a dozen semiconductor companies purchased production lines together and frequently recruited tens of thousands of equipment engineers, automation engineers, production operators and shipping workers.

We still have to have dreams, what if they come true?

The original salary for the spring school recruitment was 6,000 Chinese dollars, but now it has risen to 9,000-10,000 Chinese dollars before joining the job.

This kind of strength is also the best in the country!

"He is indeed the new overlord of China's chip industry. I heard that there are two very large production bases in Pudong and Jinling with an annual output of 30 million wafers. It is really scary."

"It's Lao Luo, you're here too. It seems that Shanhai Microelectronics has a big plan, and the conditions must be very harsh!"

"Good news! The yield rate of blue and white purple 28nm products is tied with that of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Foreign media exclaimed: The rise of China!"

Chen Heyu replied.

The principle is to introduce chemical substances (such as gases or liquids) or ion beams into areas in contact with the chip surface, causing chemical reactions or physical interactions with the chip surface to create circuit structures and form tiny device grooves.

In this war for talent, the starting salary of graduates in related majors has unknowingly increased by 50%.

Hu Ge flattered him and threw another bottle of mineral water.

"Did you write the script?"

Chen Heyu went home, washed himself, changed into a clean suit, and got in the car to head to the headquarters of Shanhai Microelectronics.

For a time, majors such as electronic engineering, materials science, and integrated circuits became extremely popular!

As the college entrance examination is approaching, many students have already made plans to apply for a major before entering the examination room.

Chen Heyu has made magical changes based on the original story direction, retaining only the most essential core, and adding a lot of original designs, making it more brain-burning and thrilling, and people will never be able to predict the plot of the next second.

Thinking of the heat treatment equipment factories that had obtained patent authorizations a few months ago, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "There's no reason, it's impossible!"

Hu Ge's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

It has great imagination and exciting plot. After its release, it ranked first in the ratings in 13 countries and regions. It is also the first Korean drama to win the Netflix ratings list.

Hu Ge panted heavily and followed Chen Heyu on the right. After running a few laps, he quickly waved his hand and said:

In the Greater China market, including neighboring countries such as Korea, when purchasing etching equipment, Weiner Technology will not be included in the purchaser list.

"31 minutes and 12 seconds! At your pace, you can get an excellent place in a half marathon. Are you interested in signing up together next time?"

"I see."

Weiner Technology is one of the few dry etching equipment manufacturers in China, but due to its research and development level, it is still unable to compete with Neon and Meiguo's equipment supply companies.

In just one week, Chinese netizens were shocked to discover that domestic semiconductor companies seemed to have taken some "miracle medicine" and made breakthroughs one after another!

The process level of 28nm chips per capita!

"There is a long way to go, we must strengthen ourselves, China, come on!"

The gold content of the scripts written by my boss has been tested in the industry, and every film he makes is a hit!

He doesn't care about other resources. If Chen Heyu wrote the script himself, he would definitely be reluctant to let it go.

Barlow nodded without arguing. He knew very well that even if the matter was brought to the management, it would be settled.

He Tingbo walked out of the elevator, saw the two people chatting in front of the door, and walked over with a smile.

"..."

"Huaxin International has greatly improved its competitiveness and achieved large-scale mass production of 28nm chips!"

Chen Heyu joked.

Chen Heyu smiled, then packed his sports bag and Shi Shiran walked home.

Luo Wenshan couldn't help but feel itchy and wished the driver would drive faster so he could know the result earlier.

What's more, KA customers of this magnitude are also closely watched by Edo Electronics, PSM and Kapton. Who is willing to offend them with just a word? Give up the financial owner?

In the future, he will control RTP furnaces, polysilicon growth furnaces, silicon rod furnaces and large-area electron beam irradiation furnaces one by one.

He could not imagine where Shanhai Microelectronics obtained these advanced technologies.

"Industry insiders revealed a little bit that the source of the process is definitely not independently developed!"

"I can't do it anymore. Let's go over and rest for a while. You can continue."

In two weeks, I abruptly increased my daily jogging from five kilometers to ten kilometers.

He didn't join the team recently and stayed at home like a deadlock. Naturally, Chen Heyu caught him and made him a young man. He goes running with his boss every day.

Chen Heyu invited him to come to Shanghai to talk about it, which obviously had extremely important matters.

But he keenly discovered that the technology patents that were bought were not at the same level as the processes licensed by Shanhai Microelectronics.

Hu Ge smiled, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a shy face.

Sure enough!

Shanhai Microelectronics' licensing behavior was not concealed at all, and it announced to the outside world that it would officially reduce its 28-nanometer chip foundry business starting from the Q3 quarter.

…

"The main reason is that I didn't have a good script. If I had known that "The Long Season" would be a big hit, I should have auditioned in the first place."

the other side.

This production capacity is ten times that of Huaxin International and three times that of Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Company before. It is second to none in the entire Yazhou region.

Chen Heyu smiled, ignored him, and strode forward along the plastic runway.

Previously, he asked someone to inquire and investigate, and found out that some of Shanhai Microelectronics' patented technologies were purchased through legal channels.

"Does he really have it in his hand?"

Observing this software park carefully, there are a total of 8 skyscrapers, all of which are the office areas of Shanhai Microelectronics.

I took my assistant with me and walked straight to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as I walked up the last step, I saw an old acquaintance.

"I wonder what the yield rate is? If the scrap rate is too high, there will be no competitiveness at all!"

Coupled with the wild gossip and two-phase confirmation, the melon-eating public instantly understood the source of confidence and confidence of companies such as Huaxin International, Jinling High-tech and Jiangdian Technology.

"Thank you. Does this count as taking the back door?"

Chen Heyu caught it steadily and asked casually.

The slight disturbance did not arouse the vigilance of these front-end equipment giants!

…

Lao Hu opened a bottle of mineral water, drank most of it in one gulp, and explained with a smile.

He knew very well that the competing companies coming to Shanghai this time were not only Huadian Technology and Hongtang Semiconductor, but also nine etching equipment companies including New Microsource and Hualin Technology.

The driver replied.

"Ten kilometers a day is better than 99% of my peers. Please tell me to slow down. I used to run five kilometers."

Luo Wenshan curled his lips and said.

He tried his best to restrain himself at this speed and did it deliberately, otherwise he could easily break the world record and still be shocked by Lao Hu's jaw.

This spot happens to be the morning rush hour, and the four wide lanes are crowded with commuter cars.

The assistant reminded.

In order to master the core technologies of heat treatment and etching, the energy he had accumulated over the years was almost exhausted. Therefore, during this period of time, he deliberately increased the intensity and length of his exercises.

Although the salary is still far different from that of Shanhai Microelectronics, it has made them extremely satisfied. They want to accumulate a few years of experience before jumping to Shanhai Microelectronics and entering the holy land of China's semiconductor industry.

Is the R&D center of Shanhai Microelectronics so awesome?

Luo Wenshan pondered for a long time, still confused, but that didn't stop him from looking forward to the next meeting.

According to the needs of the chip manufacturing process, different methods are used, mainly divided into wet etching and dry etching.

Luo Wenshan urged.

"Where do I have time? However, I provided the plot outline for the first season, and the editorial department expanded and rewritten it based on it.

If, as expected, Chen Heyu invited him here from Yancheng, it must be to discuss licensing cooperation in etching technology.

“Why didn’t we make a breakthrough early or late, but why did we all break through together?”

"If you don't like it, you can refuse."

"Boss, we just got off the elevated highway. There is still one kilometer to go. We will arrive in about five minutes."

After passing another intersection, the "Shanhai Microelectronics" building was vaguely visible, with the company's sign hanging on the facade of the top floor.

Questions gradually appeared in the comment section of Weibo Hot Search.

The etching process is a critical step in the chip manufacturing process, used to remove material on the chip surface or change its shape.

"Can you play Gong Biao or Ma Desheng?"

Hu Ge sighed.

A mere loss of profits in a single crystal silicon vacuum annealing furnace market is not a big deal to the company as a whole.

"Only a fool wouldn't like it."

Products from Applied Materials and Edo Electronics are their first choice!

"Is it almost there?"

Chen Heyu took a sip of water and teased.

Even Sanxing Electronics can’t compare!

"..."

Zhang Boyuan of Hongtang Semiconductor expressed his thoughts.

"Huchi~huchi~!"

Should we cut off cooperation with Shanhai Microelectronics?

How is that possible!

It turns out that I bought the process of Shanhai Microelectronics!

at the same time.

"Jinling Hi-Tech is developing 28nm chips and creating mature processes to block Bay Semiconductor's retreat!"

"Don't act like this in front of me. Everyone knows in their hearts that according to the cooperation model between Shanhai Microelectronics and the heat treatment equipment industry, there is no need to be cynical. As long as there is basic hardware strength, Mr. Chen will not refuse."

"Come on, you've been resting for so long, why don't you think about filming new movies?"

Barlow received a notice from the vice president, and the result was exactly as he suspected. The group chose to treat it coldly to please Shanhai Microelectronics.

A few days later.

A black top-grade Audi car drove slowly towards Guanglan Electronic Port. In addition to the driver, there was also a personal assistant in the car who was responsible for the boss's daily schedule.

"Shanhai Video International Department will have a self-made drama in the second half of the year. You can ask Zhang Peng for the script. I think there are several roles that may be suitable for you."

"Not bad, not bad. It has caught up with Sanxing and the level of Bay Semiconductor two years ago!"

After finally getting through the most difficult five minutes, Luo Wenshan waited for the driver to park the car and then eagerly opened the door.

The two looked at each other and asked.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so early."

Luo Wenshan said at first glance.

Chen Heyu thought for a moment and said to him.

How did they know that Chen Heyu's goals were not limited to single crystal silicon vacuum annealing furnaces.

"I'm sorry to be so far away. I am He Tingbo, CEO of Shanhai Microelectronics. Please follow me."

This is the company's core major customer. If it is shaken, everyone's year-end bonus will be affected.

"Mr. He, you're welcome!"

Luo Wenshan rubbed his sore temples, glanced out the window, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Squid Game"!

In the previous life, this hit Korean drama released in 2021 was produced by Netflix. The content was about hundreds of people who were trapped in life and participated in 6 life and death escape games for a prize of 45.6 billion Korean coins.

"Okay."

"I would like to ask, is Mr. Chen here today?"

"Of course it's coming. The heads of other companies have already arrived. Mr. Chen is receiving them upstairs. We'd better go there first."

He Tingbo replied with a smile.

"Mr. He, please come first!"

Luo Wenshan and Zhang Boyuan said politely.
