  Chapter 798 My products are cheap and good

   It’s a little bit better, because of the emergence of Xinghai Group, the salary of Huaguo’s R&D personnel has improved a lot. At least within the group, although the working hours are relatively long, the wages are definitely well paid, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting the whole family.

  Once you get good results, your life will improve dramatically.

   Even directly achieving financial freedom is fine.

  Looking at Shenwei's chief engineer who is also the general manager.

   Although Shencheng Microelectronics Equipment Company is a company, it is better to say it is a research center with its own factory.

  Everything in Shenwei revolves around the research and development of lithography machines.

   As for other things, it doesn't matter.

   There are only two main customers of Shenwei at present, Synder Technology and Jingfang Technology!

  The biggest customer of Synder Technology is Xinghai Yangfan, which is the largest and strongest chip design company in China.

   As for whether Jingfang Technology also needs to use a lithography machine?

   Really need it.

  What is the biggest difference between a lithography machine for screens and a lithography machine for chips?

   SIZE!

  The lithography machine for making LCD screens does not have high requirements for resolution, but has high requirements for panel size.

   Compared with the chip, the screen panel is many times larger.

  Shenwei did not encounter too many difficulties in developing and manufacturing screen lithography machines.

   Jingfang Technology gave Shen Wei a big milk for Shen Wei's purchase of lithography machines.

  SW2002 still looks quite huge, this thing is called the most sophisticated industrial product of mankind.

  Han Songlin could not help but smile: "Now, compared with foreign countries, the gap between us is narrowing, not bad, very good."

  Before, the gap was as much as seven years!

  Seven years!

  Electronic products have been updated several times.

   Now the gap has been shortened to two years, and it has caught up with the international mainstream chip manufacturing process.

  Xie Yiyun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Long-term study and research made Xie Yiyun's degree of myopia as high as 800 degrees.

   "The gap is still quite big, and we still have to work hard." Xie Yiyun said, looking at Han Songlin involuntarily. He was a little worried that Han Songlin would not be satisfied with his current achievements.

  As the nominal general manager of Shenwei, Xie Yiyun knows exactly how much Shenwei has spent in the past few years.

  In Huaguo, many projects were cut because of money matters.

  And now there is an unhealthy trend in the whole country, thinking that it is better to buy it than to make it yourself.

   Don't you know that Huaguo can achieve its current achievements by relying on self-reliance.

  Han Songlin didn't know what Xie Yiyun was thinking. For him, a 130nm lithography machine was not enough.

   What is needed is a lithography machine of 10 nanometers, or even lower 7 nanometers, or even 5 nanometers.

  As for the increasing physical limit of silicon-based chips, this is not something that lithography machine manufacturers should consider.

  Silicon-based chips have reached the physical limit, and there are graphene chips too!

   As for when graphene chips can be produced, or even never?

   Anyway, there is no rush, and alternative materials can always be found.

   Otherwise, it is also possible to engage in quantum computers.

  “Our goal is not only to catch up with foreign countries, but also to go beyond. To become the industry leader and a well-deserved overlord.”

  Xie Yiyun: "We will work hard!"

   Next, I went to see SW2003 again.

  SW2003 still uses the deep ultraviolet light source, but this is just a prototype, and there are still many problems in the formal mass production.

   It is expected to be officially mass-produced in the next year.

  SW2003 lithography machine is one of the most advanced 90nm process lithography machines in the world today.

  SW2003 lithography machine is the fourth-generation step-time scanning projection lithography machine. It uses ArF light source and has a wavelength of 193nm. It is the mainstream lithography machine in the world today.

   "I remember, there is also an immersion step-scan projection lithography machine, how is the research going?"

   No matter how much research is done on SW2003, it can only reach the 65nm process and there is no way to improve it.

  The highest process node of the immersion lithography machine can reach 45-22 nanometers.

   That is to say, if the 22nm continues to go down, only EUV lithography machines can be used.

  The person who proposed the immersion lithography machine is in Synder Technology.

   "It is expected that a prototype will be produced next year. If mass production is to be realized, it will probably take until 2005." Speaking of this, Xie Yiyun was quite helpless.

  The further down the lithography machine goes, the more difficult it becomes.

  Shenwei also encountered great difficulties in the development of EUV lithography machine, but ASML can claim to launch EUV lithography machine next year.

   According to the latest information received, ASML has also encountered difficulties in developing EUV lithography machines. It is obviously unrealistic to launch EUV lithography machines next year.

  But for Shen Wei, the pressure is still quite high.

  Han Songlin nodded lightly. In 2005, it's not that he can't afford to wait.

   Next, naturally visited the workshop.

   "Hey, is this one?"

   "This is a photolithography machine specially used for the production of liquid crystal displays, and it is exported to Heesung Company in South Korea."

  South Korea Lexi Jinxing Company, involved in chemical energy, electronic appliances, communications and services, is the second largest group in South Korea.

  As for the number one company in South Korea, let alone the three-pointed star.

  Heesung Corporation is a standard chaebol in South Korea, but it also had problems during the Asian economic crisis in 1997.

  Speaking of which, THC Investment has some relationship with Xixing Company.

   Speaking of exporting to South Korea, Xie Yiyun seemed very happy.

  Being able to export to foreign countries shows one thing, our products have gained international recognition.

   Earning foreign exchange is something everyone wants to do.

   It is recognized that doing foreign trade orders can make more money than domestic orders.

  And this kind of high-tech equipment can also receive subsidies for export.

   In order to support the development of Shenwei, Shencheng is exempt from tax for five years.

  South Korea Heesung Company!

  Han Songlin naturally knew about this company. In China, Xixing Company also has business.

   In the field of liquid crystal displays, Xixing Company can be regarded as a global giant.

  Compared with Jingfang Company, which has just entered the LCD display field, they have been working on the industrialization of LCD displays for several years.

  Of course, Jingfang Technology is not alone at this time, with the support of Shenwei, at least it is not bad in terms of manufacturing equipment.

   "Does South Korea's Heesung order a lot?"

   "Ordered ten."

  Han Songlin nodded slightly, but did not speak.

  Be able to export, good thing.

  It can bring back a lot of blood for Shenwei, and for Shenwei's R&D personnel, it can also share the profit dividend of the product, which is a very good thing.

  The most feared thing about the products developed is that there will be no market.

  Suddenly, Han Songlin discovered that Shenwei had an advantage in the field of LCD lithography machines.

   In terms of technology, Shenwei is no worse than its international counterparts.

  The most important thing is that Shenwei's products have an advantage in price.

  Only four-fifths of the price of similar international products!

   As for the continued price cuts?

  It depends on how the international "friends" respond.

  Anyway, Shenwei's cost is low enough, even if the price is reduced by half, there is still profit.

   "We are talking with a manufacturer in Taiwan, and they are very interested in our LCD panel photolithography machine!"

  If someone buys it, there is no reason not to sell it.
