Chapter 162 Photosensitive Sensor

In the current era, the number of photodiodes in the most advanced cameras has expanded to 16.7 million pixels.

Even for a small thing like a mobile phone, the current number of photodiodes has reached the terrifying 2 million pixel level!

The first mobile phone to win the title of 2 million pixels was Sharp!

Currently, which are the strongest light-sensitive sensor companies on the market, or more accurately, which are the strongest lens companies? In fact, these can be divided into two major series.

One is the U.S. style, and the other is the island country style.

The American cuisine is mainly German cuisine and Leica or Hasselblad.

The island country series mainly sells Soni, Home Energy, Nikang and other brands, such as Vodafone, which launched the first 2-megapixel mobile phone, etc.

As for which domestic lens companies are outstanding and can steal the show?

No!

In the past few decades, faced with the impact of major overseas camera brands, the domestic camera industry has naturally been unable to sustain itself and has been in a shaky state.

At present, the only ones that can barely survive without collapse are some old brands that have been selling cameras for decades.

For example, the Phoenix company that launched the Seagull camera and the Phoenix camera!

This is very bad for other companies. Now Phoenix Company is the only leader in the domestic optical field.

But this is obviously a bit weak. As recently as 2002, they upgraded the pixels of their digital cameras to 4.13 million pixels, which is the SX-410Z camera.

As for what happened after that, they seemed to be in trouble. They hadn't launched a new digital camera product in nearly two years.

Obviously facing the impact of foreign cameras, they are not far away from bankruptcy.

Judging from the fact that Phoenix Camera disappeared from people's sight in later generations, it is estimated that their bankruptcy and collapse only took a few years.

"Let's acquire this company next. After all, this is an old brand that has been sold for decades. It has also created seagull and phoenix, two countless Chinese people. They once dreamed of owning a camera brand. We can't let it disappear like this."

Now Lin Xuan has no choice. Now with the definite reply from the island country Suoni that the shipment has been stopped.

Lin Xuan has predicted that other lens companies will definitely not sell 1-megapixel light-sensitive sensors and lenses for mobile phones to him.

For the camera's mobile phone lens, Lin Xuan actually purchased not only a 1-megapixel photosensitive sensor for mobile phones from Soni, but also corresponding customized lenses.

Phoenix Company produced a 4-megapixel photosensitive sensor two years ago and should have certain patents and capabilities.

In addition, as a factory with decades of experience, they can naturally produce corresponding mobile phone lenses, so Lin Xuan, who does not want to take advantage of outsiders, has no choice. Lin Xuan can only acquire Phoenix Company!

Although the current situation of Phoenix Company may not be optimistic, Lin Xuan can only acquire him.

After this loss, he knew that he must control an optical lens company, otherwise he would not be able to gain a foothold just by purchasing!

As for Chen He, Lin Xuan was prepared to control an optical lens company no matter whether good news or bad news came from Chen He. He didn't want to suffer the powerlessness of being blocked now!

"So the core of all the problems still has to be on the research of semiconductor manufacturing technology!"

Lin Xuan slowly said the conclusion he came to after thinking.

There is a word "diode" in the photodiode, so naturally it has something to do with the chip!

It has something to do with the chip, and it certainly has something to do with the manufacturing process!

So if people look at the graph of the evolution history of pixels, they will be surprised to find that the evolution of lens pixels has a special connection with the evolution of chip manufacturing processes.

This connection is that every time the process technology advances a step, the pixels of the camera will also advance a step!

Why Phoenix Company can't launch a camera with more than 17 million pixels? In fact, this is not their fault, but Daxia's chip manufacturing technology has restricted their development!

Because the chip manufacturing process simply cannot reach the level of manufacturing 17 million pixels!

Therefore, the current domestic process technology is generally in the state of 350 nanometer, 230 nanometer and 150 nanometer.

As for Zhongxin International's 90nm, it is actually using an innovative technology, that is, immersion technology, to forcibly upgrade it to 90nm under the 130nm process.

But after the upgrade to 90 nanometers, other things could not keep up, so the yield rate has always been in a poor state...

Phoenix Company is already in a state of poverty and money. Naturally, they cannot use the most advanced 90 nanometer in the country, and 90 nanometer has not been able to be mass-produced, so they can only build a 4-megapixel digital camera at best!

So the whole reason is that the manufacturing process is holding us back!

This is why Lin Xuan said that the core of the problem still lies in the semiconductor manufacturing process!

If Lin Xuan solves the problem of manufacturing technology, then Lin Xuan can develop powerful mobile phone chips and photosensitive sensors through advanced manufacturing technology!

However, to solve the problem of manufacturing process, Lin Xuan must obtain a chip manufacturing company.

After this big loss, Lin Xuan now wants to get it right in one step and control a chip manufacturing company. From now on, he will not be afraid of the risk of any company running out of stock.

Thinking like this, Lin Xuan began to calculate how much money he should have next. Only by knowing how much money he had could he know what he should do next.

"11.4 billion!"

Lin Xuan slowly spoke out about the disposable funds he could obtain by the end of January.

Of the 11.4 billion, 500,000 S1 mobile phones from the Han and Tang dynasties contributed 11.2 billion.

The remaining 200 million yuan in cash comes from funds accumulated from the Han and Tang Glory generation mobile phones, Tang Feng chip platform and electronic foundries.

The reason why a total of more than 200 million yuan was deposited at the end of January is because the special funds for the new factory were paid last month.

So starting from this January, Hantang Technology will not have any pressure to pay anything.

So starting from January, Lin Xuan will be able to freely use the nearly 200 million plus funds accumulated from these three major profits!

With more than 200 million in funds plus 500,000 Han and Tang S1 mobile phones, Lin Xuan has 11.4 billion in disposable funds at the end of this month.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt very regretful. It would have been better if he had not taken an order of 500,000 per round, but had directly placed an order of 1 million per round.

In this case, Lin Xuan may have more than 20 billion in disposable funds, and it will be much easier for Lin Xuan to solve the chip problem.

But it's too late to say anything now. Lin Xuan needs to face the current problem, which is how to use this mere 11.2 billion to acquire a chip manufacturing company.

Then use this negligible amount of money to improve the chip's manufacturing process, so that the chip's manufacturing process can reach 65 nanometers or 45 nanometers.

Finally, Hanfeng first generation chips and 1 million pixel photosensitive sensors were produced!

In addition, Lin Xuan also wants to use the 11.4 billion to acquire Phoenix Company, buy their entire company, and then carry out modern corporate transformation.

Finally, create an advanced lens, and then solve the lens components among the two blocked core components!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan started working, and Hantang Technology Company was instantly activated, like a huge machine starting to move.

At this time, the company's senior executives and core backbones of Hantang Technology Company were divided into several parts under the command of Lin Xuan, and they were pursuing their goals at the same time.

Some senior executives and key personnel went to Phoenix Company for negotiations, while some senior executives and key personnel went to Zhongxin International for share acquisition negotiations.

In addition, senior key employees are also responsible for contacting other companies.

For example, lens companies or chip companies, see if they can OEM Hanfeng first-generation chips or provide 1-megapixel non-mobile phone lenses.

It can be said that since New Year's Day, the entire technology of the Han and Tang Dynasties has fallen into a state of high-speed rotation...

…

January 3, 2005.

When Hantang Technology fell into a high-speed rotating gyro state, good news came from Deutsche Cuisine Company.

The good news is that they have agreed to sell 1 million pixel mobile phone photosensitive sensors to Hantang Technology, and are also willing to accept customized photosensitive sensors from Hantang Technology.

After receiving the news, Hantang Technology jumped up with joy, and countless employees cheered with excited smiles on their faces.

The fact that Suoni Company suddenly ran out of stock of 1 million pixel photosensitive sensors made them feel filled with anger and worry!

And after that, employees who were responsible for contacting other lenses received news that other companies were unwilling to sell 1-megapixel photosensitive sensors, which made many people feel infinitely aggrieved.

This time Deutsche Cuisine is willing to sell a 1 million pixel photosensitive sensor, which means that the lens problem in the two core components that plagued the production of Hantang S1 mobile phones has been solved!

After receiving this surprising news, how could the employees not cheer for joy? How could they not jump up happily, with a look of excitement on their faces?

However, Lin Xuan was not too happy at this time, because only one of the two major components that troubled the production of Hantang S1 mobile phones had been solved.

The core and most important Hanfeng second-generation chip is still out of stock, but no matter what, it is a good thing to have a mobile phone lens.

Although Lin Xuan was ready to acquire Phoenix Company, Deutsche Cuisine was willing to provide photosensitive sensors and was also willing to let Hantang Technology customize the style of the photosensitive sensors.

That means that Lin Xuan can first use the light-sensitive sensor from Deutsche Cuisine to respond to emergencies. It is a customized light-sensitive sensor anyway. In the future, it will only be a matter of words for Lin Xuan to replace it with his own company's lens.

So Lin Xuan personally made an overseas phone call and contacted the top president of the German Cuisine Company.

After nearly a day of meetings in German and repeated breaks, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

That is, Lin Xuan will customize a total of 1 million 1 million pixel photosensitive sensors and corresponding customized lenses from Deutsche Cuisine Company, which can produce 1 million Han and Tang S1 mobile phones.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that because the 1-megapixel photosensitive sensor and mobile phone lenses are customized, the price is naturally relatively high.

Therefore, the final comprehensive purchase cost of Deutsche Cuisine's 1 million pixel photosensitive sensor and corresponding customized lenses reached more than 80 yuan!

The purchase price of a 1-megapixel photosensitive sensor and customized lenses reaches more than 80 yuan, so the purchase cost is naturally very high.

It is nearly 20 yuan more expensive than the 1-megapixel photosensitive sensor plus lens that Lin Xuan purchased from Soni Company before!
Chapter completed!
