Responding to the Call, the Magician I Chose to Start a Business

This is naturally a customer not to be missed for Tianhai Microelectronics, which is in a difficult situation today.

……

"Mr. Ye, do you want to order ten lithography machines in the first batch?"

In the conference room, Chen Zhenwei widened his eyes involuntarily when he heard Ye Chen's words.

Ye Chen took a sip of tea and nodded: "Indeed, ten units! Can Tianhai Microelectronics supply it?"

Chen Zhenwei nodded immediately: "Of course..."

But he hesitated immediately.

"Mr. Ye, we can only provide 90nm lithography machines, and the price is higher than foreign products!"

After that, he felt a little embarrassed himself.

Tianhai Microelectronics is the first company in China that can independently manufacture 90nm lithography machines.

It stands to reason that it will naturally be sought after by the market and sell hot.

But in reality, this is not the case at all.

In the past, foreign countries did not sell 90nm lithography machines to China.

However, after Tianhai Microelectronics was independently developed, the restrictions on Huaxia 90nm lithography machines were immediately released abroad.

The price is nearly [-] million cheaper than the lithography machine of Tianhai Microelectronics.

Domestic low-end chip factories will naturally choose foreign products.

This is actually the usual routine of foreign companies.

You can't make it or sell you.

Once you make it, dump it at a low price and steal the market.

Let the R&D company not recover the high R&D costs.

eventually closed down.

After more of this situation, who in China would dare to invest in lithography machine technology?

It is through this method that Star Flag has castrated the independent research and development capabilities of many industries in China.

And Tianhai Microelectronics is now facing this dilemma.

The cost of research and development is high, and the price of goods is naturally high.

But it couldn't sell, and now it's on the verge of bankruptcy.

……

Ye Chen smiled indifferently when he heard the words: "I already know this, but we just want to buy your company's 90nm lithography machine, not foreign ones."

"And your company's etching machine, we also want ten."

Under Ye Chen's insistence.

The two parties soon signed an agreement of intent.

Each lithography machine is [-] million yuan, while the etching machine is [-] million yuan.

The total amounted to [-] billion RMB.

This amount made Ye Chen shake his head.

Not too high, but feel cheap.

A random office building with no technical content can cost tens of billions.

A luxury high-end villa costs hundreds of millions.

However, top products like lithography machines cost only [-] million yuan.

No wonder everyone knows that there is a shortage of chips in China, but most of them do not make them themselves.

Compared to real estate, making money in the chip industry is so hard!

ps: ask for support....

Chapter 41

Tianhai Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. invested tens of billions in order to develop a 90nm lithography machine.

But the sales are not good, and now it has been barely maintained by the state's orders and subsidies.

Now that I have received Ye Chen's order of [-] billion, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhenwei was extremely grateful.

"Under the circumstance that non-domestic 90nm lithography machines are now available on the market, Mr. Ye still chooses us!"

"Thank you for your support..."

"We must provide Ye Chen with the best after-sales service!"

Chen Zhenwei's gratitude is sincere.

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Those who work hard must always be rewarded!"

"In the future, Magic Technology will probably still expand the production line, and will still find you to cooperate!"

"However, research and development can be temporarily stopped. In the future, it is very likely that foreign countries will share high-end lithography machine technology with Huaxia."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen took Lan Feifei and left leisurely after signing the contract of cooperation intention.

Chen Zhenwei sent Ye Chen to the car all the way.

Looking at Ye Chen's retreating back, Chen Zhenwei's heart was not only grateful, but also greatly confused.

That is what Ye Chen wants a 90nm lithography machine to do?

Now only some home appliances, which have low performance requirements for chips, will use such backward process chips.

Is Magic Technology about to get involved in the home appliance industry?

Chen Zhenwei was puzzled.

And Ye Chen said that foreign countries share high-end lithography machine technology, which is even more impossible.

Even 90nm lithography machines only sell finished products abroad, not technology at all.

unless……

One day, foreign lithography machine technology must rely on China.

But how is this possible.

……

And in the car.

Lan Feifei has the same confusion as Chen Zhenwei.

Lan Feifei can understand buying the Kirin chip design team.

But the 90-nanometer lithography machine is really far behind.

Such as mobile computers, the requirements for chips are getting smaller and smaller, but the performance is getting higher and higher.

Only a high-precision lithography machine can meet the requirements.

The chips made by the 90nm lithography machine, to put it a bit harsher, can only make chips for domestic home appliances with little technical content.

Slightly higher-end chargers must use 36nm and 48nm fast charging chips.

This shows that the 90nm lithography machine is lagging behind.

At this moment, only Ye Chen and Lan Feifei were left in the car.

Lan Feifei finally couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Ye, why do we want to buy a 90nm lithography machine, and also buy so much at once?"

For Lan Feifei's confusion, Ye Chen just smiled lightly.

"Can the performance of the chip really only be improved by high precision?"

Ye Chen's question surprised Lan Feifei.

As we all know, without considering the design.

For the same size chip, the more integrated circuits on it, the higher the performance and the more power saving.

Therefore, the higher the precision of the lithography machine, the higher the performance of the manufactured chip.

Of course, mobile phone chips and computer chips are a counter-example.

Now mobile phone chips are generally 7 nanometers.

Most computer chips are still 10 nanometers.

But computer chips must have higher performance than mobile phone chips. This is because computer chips are larger and have more integrated circuits.

In addition to accuracy and size, what else can chip performance be related to?

Lan Feifei thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of anything else.

The beautiful big eyes looked at Ye Chen with question marks.

And Ye Chen smiled and reminded: "Material..."

Material?

Lan Feifei's eyes widened instantly.

Today's chips are all silicon-based materials.

This is also the most suitable material for chips.

But I heard that today's silicon-based chips have almost reached the performance limit.

Many large international companies have begun to try to study graphene, thinking that graphene is the raw material for the next new era.

Could it be that what my boss said, not spelling out precision, and going the other way is saying...
