The simplest thing is that if there is no mass production of 14nm chips, then the other party will not jump over the wall in a hurry and can hold off on the big stick.
If the 14nm process is mass-produced in 2015, it surpasses TSMC's 16nm and ranks first in the world...
Needless to say, you will definitely get hammered!
If it was fast, it would have been hammered in 2015.
If you are slow, you will be hammered in 2016, or 2017 at the latest!
There is no solution to this matter.
It can be said that no matter what Wang Yi chooses, the big stick will come, it's just a matter of time.
What Wang Yi can do is to choose to be beaten passively, keep a low profile and wait for a year or two.
It is better to prepare in advance, vigorously expand production capacity, proactively launch a price war, kill all odds, and send the Omni semiconductor giants to the sky collectively!
By then, Xingyi Technology will be hammered, and it may go through a difficult time, but it will eventually get through.
But the semiconductor giant Omni will have to die collectively.
The kind that cannot be saved.
The simplest thing is that once Wang Yi launches a price war and grabs most of the 28nm chip orders and 40nm chip orders, the semiconductor giant Omni will have insufficient orders, declining profits, and no funds to develop more advanced 14nm processes, let alone
10nm process.
But in the chip industry, once the technology stagnates, the high-end will be useless and will fall behind.
At that time, high-end technology cannot be developed, and mature technology cannot be used by Xingyi Semiconductor. All we can do is wait for death and go bankrupt...
Once the Omni semiconductor giants are collectively eliminated, the rest will be easy to say.
This matter can be fixed completely.
Wang Yi is not the type to sit back and wait for death. On the contrary, he prefers to take the initiative.
Omi put a 'Sword of Damocles' on Wang Yi's head, which made Wang Yi miserable.
Then Wang Yi also arranged a "Zhuxian Sword Formation" on top of the Omni semiconductor giant to make them bankrupt!
And sufficient chip production capacity, cabbage price, is the 'Zhuxian Sword Formation' that can kill the opponent!
For this reason, wafer fabs in Shenzhen City must be invested in construction, and wafer fabs in other cities must also be invested in construction, and they must be constructed on a large scale!
Before the end of 2014, the monthly production capacity of 300,000 12-inch wafers is completely insufficient.
Before the end of 2015, the monthly production of 500,000 12-inch wafer equivalents is not enough!
On the contrary, it will reach 800,000 or even 1 million 12-inch wafers!
Since the technology war will begin in 2015, Wang Yi must make adequate preparations in advance.
Chip production capacity is Wang Yi’s only nuclear weapon!
If the production capacity is reduced, it will be meaningless.
Only when you have enough production capacity can you be sure of victory!
To this end, in addition to investing in two very large wafer fabs with a capacity of 100,000 wafers in Shenzhen City, we can also invest in Jinmen, Jeju, and Daocheng in the north, and Sioux City, Nandu, and Hangcheng in the south.
Build a wafer fab!
First-tier cities have strong financial strength and can directly invest in the construction of large-scale wafer fabs with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 pieces.
Second-tier cities can invest in and build medium-sized wafer fabs with a monthly production capacity of 50,000 pieces.
Even if all are large-scale wafer fabs with a monthly output of 100,000 wafers, this will not be a problem.
Without him, the semiconductor industry is definitely the most golden industry, and it will remain so in the next ten or twenty years.
With the development of mobile Internet, as well as the development of smart homes and new energy vehicles, more and more chips will be needed in the future.
Wang Yike knows that in ten years, the global semiconductor production capacity will exceed the monthly production of 30 million wafers!
Yes, it's that scary.
The mainland is far ahead, with a monthly production capacity of more than 8 million pieces.
After the technology war broke out, the mainland was able to invest in and build more than ten wafer fabs a year.
At most, 18 new wafer fabs are put into operation in the mainland a year!
That's right, it's so scary and so efficient.
It is precisely because of this that chips of 14 nanometers and below have become cabbage prices.
The foundry price is 60% of that of TSMC, or even lower!
It won’t take a few years to kill the semiconductor giant Omni.
Now that Xingyi Semiconductor has broken through the 28nm process, it can completely advance this operation.
Wang Yi discussed with Mr. Hu and Zhu Changlin for a long time, but they couldn't find any other plan.
You can only use this move as a big killer to deal with big sticks.
Invest a lot in building new wafer fabs and expand production capacity crazily!
In the future, as long as the opponent's Sword of Damocles falls, or even before it falls, if there is any sign of attacking Xingyi Technology, then Wang Yi will directly give Xingyi Semiconductor a 50% discount on its wafer foundry price!
Let chip OEM become a cabbage price, rush for orders like crazy!
This will directly kill all OMI semiconductor giants!
At that time, Xingyi Semiconductor will lose 500 yuan, and the Omni semiconductor giants will collectively ascend to heaven.
This deal is a total bargain.
As for the other party's policy restrictions, prohibiting the export of Xingyi Semiconductor chips and banning Xingyi Semiconductor's foundry...
This can't be stopped at all.
As long as the price of Xingyi Semiconductor is ultra-low, half lower than that of TSMC, local companies will definitely choose Xingyi Semiconductor. In order to save costs, foreign companies will also find various ways to find Xingyi Semiconductor as an OEM.
For example, through several layers of leather bag company cover-ups, Laomi couldn't investigate them one by one.
Lao Mi cannot reach the sky with his hands. For example, where the Kirin 9010 and 9020 are produced, the other party has no idea at all and cannot find out much.
What's more, Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are not monolithic. On the contrary, they will compete with each other for the sake of interests.
In addition, Xia Guo is the largest consumer market. As long as Wang Yi's price is low, there are many operating methods.
After all, parallel-imported iPhones can wreak havoc around the world, let alone chips, which cannot be strictly investigated.
And if the other side is desperate and imposes a total blockade, then we will also block basic raw materials such as germanium, gallium, and antimony.
When the time comes when we feel uncomfortable, they will feel even more uncomfortable.
Without these basic materials, once the inventory is used up, their chips will be difficult to produce.
Even fighter planes have to be difficult to deliver.
As for the opponent’s strategy to break the situation?
In theory there is, but in practice there isn't.
To break the situation, the other party must achieve self-production of germanium, gallium, and antimony.
Gallium is produced through electrolytic aluminum. We are the world's largest electrolytic aluminum country, leading the world in technology, and account for more than 90% of the world's gallium production.
The electrolytic aluminum produced by Omega, Japan and South Korea is approximately zero.
If they want to do it, they have to start from scratch.
Not only must we develop advanced electrolytic aluminum technology, we must also spend tens of billions of dollars to establish a complete electrolytic aluminum industry chain!
In addition, electrolytic aluminum consumes very much power resources.
Whether it is OMI, Japan or South Korea, the power resources are very poor, and the electricity used for normal life is not enough, and there are frequent power outages in large areas.
How can there be so much electricity to electrolyze aluminum on a large scale?
Once aluminum is electrolyzed on a large scale, the power can be cut off for 30 days a month for 20 days.
By then their people will have to revolt!
This is completely unrealistic.
Unless the other party spends tens of billions of dollars more to build sufficient power systems and nuclear power plants to solve the energy problem of electrolytic aluminum consumption!
Is it cost-effective to spend hundreds of billions of dollars just for tens of millions of dollars of gallium?
Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea don’t want to be such a big enemy, and they don’t have the ability to do so.
Even if several parties pool their money together and actually do this, after they have spent their money and have not yet produced any output, we will immediately lift the blockade, dumping prices at cabbage prices, and Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea will collapse!
So, this is simply not realistic.
Locking up raw materials locks up their future.
It won't take two or three years until the other party runs out of inventory and the results will be seen.
Ten years later, many Omni semiconductor giants were locked down for a year and were seriously short of raw materials. In order to avoid bankruptcy, they were preparing to build factories in the mainland.
In the face of life and death, so-called prohibitions and restrictions have become child's play.
When the time comes, it might be the other party who bows his head!
Wang Yi gradually made plans. The Xingyi wafer fab must expand and its production capacity must be greatly improved.
This is the core killer weapon prepared for the opponent in the technological war!
In the future, if the other party uses EUV lithography machines and advanced processes to win over Xingyi Semiconductor, Wang Yi will use ultra-low cost and cabbage price to win over Omi Semiconductor giant!
Mr. Hu was in a good mood: "This move is completely feasible. They will be even worse off when the time comes, and they might take the initiative to beg for mercy!"
Wang Yi smiled lightly: "Then it depends on whether the ammunition we prepared is enough!"
"Next, any city that contacts us to invest in building wafer fabs, as long as the treatment is suitable, we will invest in and build them. If we build fabs widely, the price will be reduced to cabbage and they will all go bankrupt! Hahaha." Zhu Changlin said with a smile.
Wang Yi nodded: "But we must also make all-round preparations. Large silicon wafers must break through as soon as possible within two years!"
"If a war breaks out the year after next, the chip factory is sufficient and the technology is sufficient, but there are no large silicon wafers and the substrate is stuck! That would be funny!"
Mr. Hu solemnly said: "This is very important. Don't worry, Director Wang, I am always paying attention. They have been developing it for half a year. In another year, it should be about the same."
"Then the middle of next year? This pace is okay!" Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
The Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Shenzhen silicon wafer factories will all be completed and put into use in the next year.
However, the first phase of the project will be completed in the second half of next year.
If the 12-inch large silicon wafer production process breaks through in the middle of next year, the first phase of mass production will happen in the second half of the year.
"What about photoresist?" Wang Yi continued to ask.
Hu Lao sighed: "The progress of photoresist is not so smooth. KRF photoresist is easy, but it is generally used in the 250nm-130nm process, and we can't use it."
Last year, after Wang Yi and Mr. Hu discussed it, they began to lay out large silicon wafers and photoresist.
Mr. Hu used his connections and influence to poach people from all over the world.
Wang Yi is responsible for investing money!
It's just that KRF photoresist is easy to develop and can be produced in one or two years, but Xingyi Semiconductor cannot use it.
Xingyi Semiconductor does not have a 130nm production line at all. The worst ones are 40nm, and the advanced 28nm ones all require ARF photoresist!
"To this end, we directly develop more advanced ARF photoresists, which can be used in all process nodes from 130 nanometers to 7 nanometers!"
"However, it is very difficult to develop such an advanced photoresist. It is estimated that it will be difficult to break through next year. It is very difficult and the fastest will be the year after next!"
"The year after next at the earliest, that is, 2015..." Wang Yi nodded:
"Mr. Hu, 28nm photoresist must be accelerated, no matter the cost, hire more people, invest more, and stock up more goods at the same time!"
The shelf life of ARF photoresist is one year. Stock up more before the war in 2015. If you stock up for at least one year, it will last until 2016!
In this way, we can make a breakthrough in 2015 and achieve the best self-production of ARF photoresist.
If you can't break through, you can still hold on for a while with stockpiles until 2016, and you can break through the ARF photoresist in 2016.
If we can’t break through in 2016, we will be in big trouble!
"Okay, then I will increase my efforts to recruit people and recruit more people from Neon Country!" Mr. Hu said solemnly, knowing the seriousness of the situation.
Photoresist, Neon Country is at the top of the world.
Not only does the production capacity of ARF photoresist rank among the world's, they have also developed EUV photoresist that can be used below 7 nanometers!
In fact, EUV lithography technology was first invented by Neon, but they felt that this road had no future and gave up.
On the contrary, the United States is still optimistic about EUV lithography technology, continues to research and develop it, and finally makes it...
Of course, if Neon Country continues to develop EUV lithography technology, then Laomi will probably pursue other routes.
In a word, we can’t take the lead of Neon Country!
For example, in new energy, Neon Country has a near-monopoly on most of the patented technologies of hydrogen energy. Xia Guo and Lao Mi directly gave up on hydrogen energy and went all out to develop electric vehicles, leaving Neon Country to play with hydrogen energy on their own.
After twenty years, when most of Neon Country’s hydrogen energy patents have expired, Xia Guo and Lao Mi will vigorously develop hydrogen energy!
The same is true for EUV. Neon Kingdom gave up, but Laomi and the European Union supported ASML and made it happen.
Neon Country decisively turned around and continued to engage in EUV, but after ten years there was no output.
However, in the field of photoresist, Neon Country is unique in the world.
Mr. Hu is poaching people in Neon Country. I can only say that his idea is correct, very correct.
Wang Yi nodded: "Go ahead and do it, no matter the cost. As long as a core figure from the Neon Kingdom is willing to come, we will give him three times, no, five times, or ten times the treatment!"
As long as ARF photoresist can be produced and photoresist strategic security can be achieved, Wang Yi really doesn't care.
Just give him 100 million!
Read the error-free version in 69 Book Bar! 6=9+ Book_Bar publishes this novel.
The premise is that it can be done!
"Okay, Director Wang, I will make arrangements quickly."
Wang Yi nodded and changed the topic: "The research and development of photoresist is not enough, we also need to build a factory. Mr. Hu, please inform the photoresist department to start the factory construction simultaneously. They are responsible for the planning. I will take care of the site and funds.
.Our photoresist factory will start construction at the end of the year and will be delivered before the end of next year.”
"As long as they develop ARF photoresist in the next year, it can be put into production immediately!"
"Let's build the factory and wait for their technological breakthrough."
"Yes, these must be prepared in advance. If there is a technological breakthrough and there is no factory, it will be embarrassing." Mr. Hu agreed with Wang Yi's idea.
Wang Yi has always done things this way, planning and laying out things in advance.
There has been no breakthrough in silicon wafer technology, but large-scale construction of silicon wafer factories has already begun.
Once large silicon wafers are broken through, they can be put into production directly.
Photoresist has not yet made a breakthrough, and photoresist factories must start preparations in advance.
"You make plans well, and when there are some breakthroughs in technology, I will go and support you!" Wang Yixiao said.
Once there are some breakthroughs in ARF photoresist, as long as there is some sound, the place will start to sprint.
These high-end projects are not only GDP and high-end employment, but also brilliant political achievements.
No one can help but feel jealous.
The simplest thing is to build a car factory and the top management won't care.
But if you build a 28nm wafer fab or an ARF photoresist factory, leaders at all levels will come to inspect it, and CCTV news will report it!
The gold content is different!
"Mr. Hu, there is also the matter of purchasing photolithography machines. We are pushing forward with all our strength. We have so many wafer factories and we need to stock up in advance."
"Okay!" Mr. Hu responded.
After arranging these, Mr. Hu and Zhu Changlin left respectively, but Wang Yi fell into deep thought.
Now that 28nm has broken through, there will be no big problem with Mr. Hu at 14nm.
After all, the core of breaking through the 20nm curse in the semiconductor industry is Hu’s innovative fin field effect transistor!
It is precisely because of this that Mr. Hu's student Mr. Liang, with Samsung, a poor student, achieved a corner overtaking, surpassing TSMC, an excellent student, and took the lead in breaking through the 14nm process in 2015.
However, Wang Yi feels that Mr. Hu is more efficient as the founder.
Maybe even faster than Samsung.
This is a battle between master and disciple!
Mass production of silicon wafers will be achieved before the end of next year, and mass production of ARF photoresist will be achieved the year after that, which will basically be much safer.
As for the lithography machine...
Wang Yi sighed, this thing is too complicated and difficult, so it needs an official layout.
What Wang Yi can do is invest and promote.
ARF photoresist and large silicon wafers are all the kind that can be produced by spending money and recruiting people.
However, the tens of thousands of components of the lithography machine are not finished after they are developed. Instead, tens of thousands of upstream and downstream industrial chains must be built, and most of them are high-precision industries.
This is so difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Wang Yidu was helpless.
Even old rice can't play.
real!
Let Laomi independently develop lithography machines without relying on other countries. Let alone EUV lithography machines, even DUV will be difficult for them to produce.
Even ASML was created by the joint efforts of many countries and dozens of semiconductor giants.
It is really difficult to do it independently. Only an industrial power like Xia State and a power in the entire industrial chain can have hope.
But it is also very difficult.
"It is unrealistic for Xingyi Technology to develop lithography machines. Let's make an official layout. We will also invest in a group of talents and funds to speed up the entire process!" Wang Yi murmured to himself.
All he can do is invest money and people to do it together!
Doing it alone would be a dream!
However, EDA industrial software is already under development.
To be precise, it started in October last year, but it was also very difficult and we had to continue to burn money and endure.
Wang Yi estimates that it will take at least three years, or even longer!
But it doesn’t matter, just take your time.
No matter how bad it is, it is much better than the previous life, much faster!
Even if it takes three years, that is, it was completed in 2015, it is enough!
However, when it comes to the purchase of lithography machines, it is not enough for Xingyi Technology and Mr. Hu to come forward alone.
This is too concentrated.
Although they are all relatively backward DUV lithography machines, they are too concentrated.
Thinking of this, Wang Yi dialed Mr. Zhao's phone: "Mr. Zhao, I need to trouble you if I need anything."
"Dr. Wang, it's no trouble or no trouble, just say it!" Mr. Zhao said cheerfully.
"It's like this. We are developing too fast. It is expected that a technological war will break out in 2015, and then the lithography machine will be a problem."
"2015!" Mr. Zhao's expression changed drastically, but he had no doubt about Wang Yi's words.
He knew that although Wang Yi was young, his judgment on these matters was more accurate than anyone else's.
"We are laying out the lithography machine and going all out to tackle the problem, but it is very difficult. Director Wang, in 2015, if we can't make it domestically, there is no hope."
Wang Yi nodded: "I know that, so we have to buy as many lithography machines as possible before the technology war! But it all falls on Xingyi Semiconductor. So many lithography machines are a bit glaring."
Mr. Zhao instantly understood what Wang Yi meant: "This is easy to talk about. In this way, I will arrange for SMIC, Huahong, and some other companies to place orders for you! Spread out the orders!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, this is safe. As for the funds, we will transfer them to them in advance!"
"That's all easy to say."
Mr. Zhao was very efficient and immediately arranged for people to set up a special team to contact several major semiconductor giants to deal with this matter.
Of course, this cannot be hidden from Asmai.
But Asmai would only pretend not to know.
They wish Xingyi Technology would place more orders, sell more goods, and make more money!
EUV lithography machines have insufficient production capacity and are currently mainly used for experiments and have not yet been commercialized on a large scale.
But DUV lithography machines, which are one generation behind, have good production capacity.
It’s just that when TSMC and Samsung purchase DUV lithography machines, they all need the 1970i DUV lithography machine just released this year, or even the next generation 1980i, which is not as good as the old 1960 DUV.
But unfortunately, as the latest model, 1970i has tight production capacity.
But the production capacity of old models like the 1960 DUV is abundant, and the production lines cannot be stopped. They can only continue production. Unfortunately, neither TSMC nor Samsung want them!
Now it's fine, Wang Yi has pawned the 1960 DUV, and Xingyi Technology wants them all.
As much as you want, take it all according to the order.
Asma was smiling from ear to ear.
Regarding the future form, ASML is even more aware that once it is restricted, Xingyi Technology will not be able to buy lithography machines, and they will also lose a lot of money.
Therefore, when it could be sold, ASML shipped frantically and gave priority to Xingyi Semiconductor.
Even so, problems can easily arise if the quantity is large.
It is more reasonable to place subsequent orders dispersedly like this. ASML has seen through it all and won't say anything.
On the contrary, we will cooperate well!
After all, the more goods you sell, the more money you make.
Asmai doesn’t want to lose a big sponsor!
In this way, by spreading out orders and stocking up on more photolithography machines, Wang Yi would be able to handle it even if the technology war broke out in 2015.
After arranging these things, Wang Yi looked at the time and saw that it was already very late, so he decisively got off work and went to find the little rich woman.
But as soon as he left the house, he received a call from Jian Ziyan: "Chairman, something big has happened again."
"What's wrong?" Wang Yi frowned.
"It's like this. Four very prestigious experts publicly accused us of our monopoly, saying that we have a de facto monopoly, which will cause endless harm."
"Oh? Are you here to seek death again?" Wang Yi laughed angrily: "Send it to me."
"I sent you your cell phone."
Wang Yi turned on his phone and looked at it carefully:
[No matter how Xingyi Technology pretends to be peaceful, there is still a de facto monopoly, and there are monopolies in many fields. 】
[Facts speak louder than words. Xingyi Technology’s monopoly behavior will lead to extremely serious consequences. While the company is developing, it must also maintain a good reputation!]
[If the monopoly is not punished, it will only make Xingyi Technology more aggressive and unscrupulous.]
[Gong is merit, fault is fault. Achievements are achievements, and monopoly is monopoly. The merits and demerits cannot be offset, nor can a monopoly go unpunished.]
…
As soon as these remarks came out, they immediately caused an uproar.
Many netizens have been led astray:
"It makes sense. A monopoly is a monopoly. It is a monopoly no matter what, and monopolies must be punished!"
"Learning from history, monopoly can cause endless harm. Although I like Xingyi Technology very much, we still need to pay attention to the issue of monopoly."
"The four professors are still very good, and they can keep their heads clear at all times. I used to think that Xingyi Technology was the hero, and it didn't matter... Now I see, I still have to be cautious."
"That's right, one code equals one code, we have to look at the problem critically!"
…
Looking at the sudden change in the situation, Jian Ziyan couldn't help but said: "Chairman, this wave is more powerful. The four experts are more energetic. How should we deal with it?"
Chapter completed!
