In terms of lithography machines, amsl of Holland is the dominant company, accounting for the vast majority of high-end lithography machines in the world, and the highest process has reached the level of 3nm process.

At present, only Yudu microelectronics is doing domestic lithography, and the process is still at the level of 90nm more than ten years ago.

However, according to relevant rumors, Yudu microelectronics has secretly developed a generation of deep ultraviolet lithography machine, which is expected to be released next year, and its production process has reached 28nm.

It is rumored that industrial chips with a maximum of 7Nm can be produced by using multiple optical refraction technology, which is very good news.

As for the domestic EDA software industry, it now has technology, but it will waste a long time cycle and energy to re organize talents to do this.

Therefore, Lu yunqi also has his own consideration. Among the domestic EDA software companies, Miao Honggen is really doing it and has already done it.

Longtian is the largest EDA software in China. At present, its customer range has covered nine of the top ten IC designs in China. It is preparing for IPO injury and logging in to the big a gem.

With the team and the domestic lithography machine, it's time for Lu yunqi to show his strength.

According to the current market situation, 28nm process chips have occupied the vast majority of the market share. In addition to computer chips and mobile phone chips, 28nm chips are enough to meet the needs of most chips.

For example, 28nm is enough for some car chips, electrical appliances and chips for daily use.

The semiconductor industry has always been a cold door in China, where capital pursues higher profits. In the Internet industry, if it were not for the blockade of the United States in recent years, most people in China would not turn to semiconductors.

Without technology accumulation, investing in the semiconductor industry is really no different from throwing money into the water.

Even if 100 billion is thrown in, it won't bubble.

Although Lu yunqi is not short of money, he doesn't have so much time to waste.

So now he either directly buys companies in the semiconductor industry or directly spends money to buy the whole technical team.

He never thought of setting up a technical team from scratch, because it took too long, and there are not many talents in China to dig for him.

Talents in the semiconductor industry are very scarce. Many top talents have gone abroad, and those left at home are basically provided by major domestic semiconductor companies.

So he certainly won't do such thankless things that may offend people.

Among the three difficulties, the lithography machine, as the hardest bone to bite, has made a new breakthrough in Yudu microelectronics company. In this way, Lu yunqi doesn't have to develop the lithography machine from scratch.

In terms of computer chips, Intel, which squeezes toothpaste every year, the latest chip technology is only 14nm, while Wannian's and has adopted 7Nm technology.

From this point of view, the lithography machine developed by Yudu microelectronics can be used in front of us if it can achieve 7Nm. Of course, Lu yunqi has other plans. Once it is completed, he can get rid of higher technology.

For example, the limitation of 3nm lithography machine.

If the mobile phone has cos, it is still a little worse. The Kirin chip of Warwick company adopts the 5nm process, which can not be done by the lithography machine of Yudu microelectronics.

However, on the premise that he does not intend to do so, Lu yunqi will consider taking a direct stake in Yudu microelectronics.

After all, in this world, the scientific research funds of Yudu microelectronics have not been much, and only 600 million in ten years.

Amsl, the world's No. 1, has invested billions of euros only in the scientific research funds of extreme ultraviolet lithography. In addition, it has also led Intel, sansang and TSMC to jointly undertake the R & D funds, which makes it the most advanced lithography machine in the world.

If compared according to investment, Yudu microelectronics has actually done very well.

Their 28nm lithography machine has fully realized domestic self-development in all links, and no technical pass is stuck by the crooked fruit giant. This is what Lu yunqi likes very much.

Taking a stake in Yudu microelectronics has two advantages. On the one hand, it can accelerate the R & D speed of the lithography machine, so as to solve the chip threat of winter alliance, and also share part of the profits of the lithography machine.

With the rapid expansion of Polaris system, Chenxing technology has sufficient cash flow. It is not a problem to provide some scientific research funds for Yudu microelectronics.

Lu yunqi actually wants to buy Yudu microelectronics directly, but the government won't allow Yudu microelectronics to be sold, and now they have made achievements and won't agree.

But it's OK to take shares. After all, Lu yunqi doesn't say his identity. What Chenxing technology needs and faces now are the giants of crooked fruit, and the officials naturally know that the power of a company is limited, but everyone's cooperation is infinite.

Therefore, if Lu yunqi takes a stake in Yudu microelectronics as Chenxing technology, there is still no problem. Of course, the most important thing is that Lu yunqi can provide Yudu Microelectronics with a lot of funds for their R & D.

After all, since the release of Polaris system, Chenxing technology has now become one of the enterprises that China focuses on. Chenxing technology is willing to take out what it makes, such as pressing, and smash it into the bottomless semiconductor industry. China is absolutely happy to see it.

At least officials will not worry about the situation that Chenxing technology will directly get one vote and leave after taking a stake in Yudu microelectronics.

Therefore, for other capital in the market to take shares in Yudu microelectronics, the officials directly refused.

However, with the influence of Chenxing technology and the support of Yudu local and j party, Lu yunqi is very confident that he can take a stake.

In this way, the problem of the lithography machine is temporarily solved.

In terms of EDA software, Lu yunqi plans to directly acquire Longtian company. As the largest EDA software provider in China, Longtian has very good potential.

With regard to chip architecture, what Lu yunqi needs is to directly buy the whole technical team, and then add his own technology redeemed with advanced technology card on the basis of their exquisite core team.

There's basically no problem.

Moreover, as long as the officials see the determination of Chenxing technology to take a stake in the semiconductor industry and agree to them to take a stake in Yudu microelectronics, the acquisition of the other two companies will be much more convenient.

Today's Chenxing can still be a fast-growing boat. It can turn around anytime and anywhere, and Lu yunqi's cash flow is very abundant. The absolute profits earned will be invested in the semiconductor industry.

It is a very good investment for chenxingkiji and solves the concerns of the semiconductor industry for China.

Therefore, this is a win-win situation.

Although Chenxing technology has never disclosed the financial report and the specific situation of system installation, Chinese officials must know that after all, the capital flow needs to pass through the bank.

Therefore, in this regard, officials don't have to worry at all. Lu yunqi's Chenxing technology money is not enough.

With the convenience of EDA software, Lu yunqi has absolute confidence in making a breakthrough.

As for the risc-v architecture, Lu yunqi did not intend to adopt it from the beginning. He planned to directly use a chip architecture given by the system, named "Kunlun".

According to the introduction of the system.

Kunlun architecture is a reduced instruction level architecture, which can perfectly replace aim architecture in the field of mobile SOC.

In the server field, the Kunlun architecture is also not shy in the face of the RISC architecture with reduced instruction set.

In the field of computer chips, after the improvement of the system, Kunlun architecture can be said to be very powerful. The performance of computer chips with Kunlun architecture has reached the top level in the world.

As long as it is produced, it can be said that it has strong advantages over the major mainstream chips now.

In this regard, Kunlun architecture can be said to be ahead of other companies.

After all, who makes those companies without a protagonist?

If China wants to overtake in the corner in the chip industry, there is another shortcut.

That's graphene technology.

The current chip industry uses silicon-based chips. The chips use silicon wafers, and the silicon used in them is put forward from the sand.

Graphene is composed of carbon atoms, so it can also be called carbon based chip.

The development of silicon-based chips has always followed Moore's law, which was summarized by the founder of Intel. Now it has come to the end.

At present, the world's highest level extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, in which the highest process has reached 3nm, but the more sophisticated attack without the network takes a step further, the higher the difficulty is, and the silicon-based chip has actually come to the end.

Where is its limit? If you want to go further, the silicon base can't bear it.

Therefore, we know that silicon-based chips will come to the focus, but the global semiconductor industry is already fully maintaining the status of silicon-based chips.

But even so, many semiconductor manufacturers themselves have quietly considered the future.

The only option is graphene chip.

The chip made of graphene material has very strong performance. Under the same process, the performance exceeds that of silicon-based chip several times. The new energy of blind 3nm process silicon-based chip is roughly similar to that of 28nm process graphene chip.

Therefore, graphene chip will become the gravedigger of silicon-based chip.

The importance of graphene is far more than that.

For example, it can also be applied in other fields in the future, but Lu yunqi's purpose is to do a good job in the Internet industry first and then.

As long as the graphene chip is made first, the industrial chain of Chenxing technology will all revolve around graphene.

Graphene can be used to make graphene mobile phones, graphene computers, operating systems, chip architectures, EDA software, lithography machines, etc.

This is also the reason why Lu yunqi doesn't develop the lithography machine from scratch.

With the 28nm lithography machine of Yudu microelectronics, it is enough. Through the 7Nm light refraction process, Lu yunqi is sure to make the graphene chip of 7Nm process explode the silicon chip of 1nm or even higher process in performance.

Lu yunqi's future is beginning to lay out around his original heart, and all this will move forward in the direction he booked.

The advanced technology card of the system has been used up. One is the mobile phone operating system and the other is the graphene chip architecture process.

If we do these two things well first, we can deal with the next giant blockade.
