Chapter 232: Look, can you?
"But there is a problem with the production capacity of this screen. After all, it is a new technology and uses new materials, so the new production line and equipment are still being debugged. If we want to stabilize shipments, we have to wait until the end of the year. Your company's machine this year
Hasn’t the emperor already ordered specifications and supplier products?”
"It's okay, we can use this screen on the mate x2 next year."
"Is that so?" Boss Gu nodded.
"Yes, we at Xiawei can make full reservations as long as we can maintain the quality of the rollable screen." Yu Chengdong was now in a very intense mood.
"But, Mr. Yu, what do you think is the difference between this monitor in your hand and a smartphone?"
"..."
Yu Chengdong was stunned by Gu Qing's rhetorical question.
The monitor in my hand is made of unusual materials. It can play videos smoothly and even has its own operating interface...
Boss Gu, on the other hand, sighed and said: "You also know that Jiuzhou Technology has only been established for a short time, so many of the licensing agreements for mobile phone processing chips, communication modules and mobile communications are in a blank state."
"So, Mr. Gu, what do you want?"
Gu Qing poured half a cup of tea for Yu Chengdong.
"We have all seen your company's achievements in the field of communications. We can even praise it as being the best in the world, and HiSilicon Kirin is one of the top three smart chips in mobile phone chips.
Now we at Jiuzhou Technology have such a good screen, top-notch color adjustment and strong compatibility that can support independent operating systems of Android and Pingguo software.
So, can we work together to benefit both parties?”
Gu Qing's voice fell.
Gong Xiangdong felt that he must be dreaming.
What is the young man in front of me saying?
Does he also have an independent operating system?
How is it possible!? We, Xia Wei, have been working on our Hongmeng system for so many years before we can make some achievements. Your company has been developing the system for several years? You just want to join forces to benefit both parties?
But then I thought about it, it's not impossible that someone could make their own system and claim it to be highly compatible.
The operating system is really easy to make.
But if you want to do it well, with few bugs, strong scalability, and strong compatibility, so that Android or Pingguo software can be easily switched to other systems, that is simply a fantasy.
But who is this Gu Qing in front of me?
A ruthless person who knows the Android system better than the Android system developers and the top five mobile phone manufacturers in the world, and can bypass gray permissions and optimize the two major mobile phone systems.
Yu Chengdong did not drink the tea in front of him, but after careful consideration, he asked: "So, what kind of combination can benefit both parties?"
"A new mobile phone brand uses our domestically produced memory, domestically produced chips, domestically produced screens, and domestically produced mobile phone systems to create a nationally produced high-end mobile phone."
"Nationwide production? This dream is a bit far away. Just chip manufacturing cannot get around it."
Yu Chengdong is referring to TSMC. This is a point that cannot be bypassed. Xia Wei can design top-notch chips, but there is no foundry in China that can produce chips with this process.
Xiaxin Technology is not good either, and domestic optical technology has just conquered 28 nanometers. To make the world's top chips, such as Xiaxin Kirin 980, it needs to be manufactured using a 7-nanometer process.
Although TSMC's 7nm is not a real 7nm, at worst, domestic lithography machines have to conquer 14nm to be qualified to think about other people's fake 7nm.
In response, Gu Qing shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Yu, I, Gu Qing, never aim without aim. You are not deeply involved in the front line of OEM, so you may have forgotten some things."
"I'd like to hear the details." Yu Chengdong didn't believe it. The boy didn't understand his polite refusal.
"Lithography machines are divided into DUV and EUV, which are used in 7nm and pre-7nm chip foundry processes.
TSMC and Hanxing used to use DUV, which is a deep ultraviolet light source.
Of course, with the advancement of your chip designers and the market, DUV light sources can no longer produce more sophisticated processes, so now Korean Star, TSMC, and Shanghai Microelectronics are using EUV extreme ultraviolet light sources.
You and I also know that when we talk about a few-nanometer process chip, we do not mean that the transistor of this chip is really that few nanometers in size. It is usually just a "generational" name used to indicate a relative generation.
The minimum feature size of 22nm is not 22nm. Even because of the emergence of Korean stars in the past two years, even the name x-nm cannot accurately measure the generation of each technology.
For example, Korean Star's 5nm is the same generation as TSMC's 7nm and Intel's 10nm.
Of course, I need to remind you that our Jiuzhou Technology is the top light source equipment provider of Shanghai Microelectronics. Its ss1mb light source has shorter and thinner wavelength characteristics than Korean and TSMC light sources. Therefore, after multiple exposures, Shanghai Microelectronics
The 28nm lithography machine can produce 7nm chips that are better than the current TSMC 7nm technology.
The reason why Xiaxin Technology cannot do this is
It’s just because we currently limit some performance of the light source equipment for system stability and light source purity, that’s all.”
"hiss……"
Yu Chengdong's expression changed from calm at the beginning to solemn, and now it is almost a mixture of sluggishness, contemplation and solemnity.
He believes 80% of what Gu Qing said, 40% of which is based on the performance of Kyushu Technology over the years, and the other 40% is based on part of the report of HiSilicon Semiconductor in the domestic substitution plan when Xia Wei internally discussed the crisis.
Chips are getting smaller and smaller. When Moore's Law reaches its limit, traditional transistor size and component distance can no longer describe the several-nm process. TSMC's 7-nanometer process technology is indeed not a true 7-nanometer process.
But why did Gu Qing reveal the information about the light source equipment to him?
Could it be that the background of Jiuzhou Technology is not just camouflage, but actually a red color?
At this moment, Yu Chengdong's mind was racing with thoughts, including every move made by Jiuzhou Technology since its establishment, each process and product, and this time entering Jiuzhou Park, the security checks encountered on the road, the special police patrols outside the park, and the warning reminders of restricted air zones.
…
Reminiscent of Rabbit's consistent low-key and development-stealing style.
Thinking back to Xia Wei's participation in relevant department leaders and some major confidential meetings in recent years, it is of course also due to his own scientific research skills and his ability to make a name for himself in the world.
So this time, cooperation will benefit both parties?
Is this another Rabbit operation?
After thinking about it again and again, Yu Chengdong drank the cooled tea in front of him and said solemnly: "Mr. Gu, this matter is not something I can unilaterally discuss with your company on behalf of Xia Wei. If possible, please allow me to contact the company.
Headquarters.
We, Xia Wei, will come up with a charter as soon as possible and discuss it with your company.
