Many people in the company couldn't stand such slander and attacks, and wanted to release the relevant data and information immediately, but Wu Hao refused. In Wu Hao's words, let them jump first, jump now
The higher the height, the harder the fall will be.
Moreover, at this stage, the focus of the media and the public is on lithography machines and chips. The effect of releasing it now is not great. It is better to wait for the attention of news on lithography machines and chips to subside before releasing it.
The plane landed smoothly at Anxi Airport and was delayed for about forty minutes. This is the biggest problem with taking civil aviation flights, that is, flight delays.
This type of control is mainly about entry and exit. There are too many flights and they need to land in an orderly manner. The flights that arrive later will have to wait in line while circling in the sky.
Private jets will also encounter this problem, but one advantage of private jets is that they can take off and land first, which can save them a lot of time.
Fortunately, he was traveling in first class, and the environment was relatively more comfortable, so if there was a delay, let's just delay it.
After coming out of the VIP aisle, Wu Hao immediately got into the waiting vehicle and left the airport.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky in Anxi had darkened, with a red sunset still remaining on the horizon. Wu Hao did not take the time to rest, but began to answer and reply to his calls and messages. Today's activities are over
After that, countless people called him to message him, but he was busy a lot of the time and didn't care. Now that he has time, he has to reply quickly.
After answering several important calls, he immediately dialed the number of Director Wang Lianggong of the Science and Industry Bureau. He made several calls to Wu Hao today, but Keke ignored them all.
As the immediate leader above, Wu Hao certainly did not dare to neglect and quickly returned.
The phone didn't ring twice, and Wang Lianggong immediately answered the call: "You're willing to call me back now."
Because they had many conversations and it was a private call, the two of them seemed more casual.
Haha, I'm sorry, boss, I'm too busy today, so I only have time to call you back now. Wu Hao explained quickly.
On the phone, Wang Lianggong laughed and said: "Haha, you can imagine it. After such news comes out, you can calm down.
I said, you kid, you have dropped a nuclear bomb again this time. The shock of your news is no less than the loud noise in Lop Nur."
You are giving too much credit. There is no comparison between the two. Wu Hao quickly said modestly: "And I know that the progress of several other leading lithography machine projects is not slow. We are just one step ahead of others."
Wang Lianggong smiled and said: "One step faster is also faster. If such an important weapon of the country is developed one second earlier, it will be able to break the enemy's iron wall one second earlier and win victory one second earlier."
What's more, you are not a second early. Several other project teams are making good progress, but progress in the core light source and lens groups is slow.
But you have perfectly solved these two problems and developed your own technical solutions, which is very commendable.
And I’ve seen that your lens set and light source are more advanced than Helan’s, which is very good.”
After saying this, Wang Lianggong immediately asked: "How about it? I know that you have built a 12-inch wafer factory in Shudu with chip production capacity. When will this equipment be shipped to Shudu and when will it be officially launched?"
Put into production.”
This is what Wang Lianggong is concerned about. In recent years, due to the chip dilemma, Wang Lianggong has also been under great pressure as the leader of the Bureau of Science and Technology. But this time, the success of Wu Hao and the others can be said to make him feel proud.
However, Wang Lianggong is not satisfied with this. What he wants to know now is when this photolithography machine will be put into production and when they will be able to produce their own domestic 5-nanometer chips.
Hearing Wang Lianggong's question, Wu Hao smiled. He had answered this question countless times today, so he immediately answered it.
"You are well-informed. This lithography machine will stop at Shanghai for a while, and then it will be transported directly to Shudu through land transportation.
After arriving in Shudu, the installation and debugging work will be carried out immediately. After the debugging work is completed, the relevant trial production experiments can be carried out. If it is actually officially put into production, I am afraid it will take some time. But this time should not be long, I predict.
Production capacity should be initially in place by the end of this year or early next year."
Okay, so I feel relieved. Wang Lianggong said happily: "You know that not only our major domestic enterprises, but also our scientific research departments and even some important projects have been seriously affected by the lack of advanced process chips. It can be said that we are hungry.
I have been thirsty for a long time, waiting for this 'timely rain'.
Your 5-nanometer EUV lithography machine is a timely development. You don’t know that after your press conference this morning, many people were asking me for information. They have been waiting for this lithography machine for too long. Call me
Everyone inside was so excited that they cried with joy."
Hearing Wang Lianggong's words, Wu Hao nodded and responded seriously: "Don't worry, we will definitely urge the Shudu factory to work overtime so that this photolithography machine can be put into production as soon as possible. Let's moisturize everyone's throats first and wait for the photolithography machine later.
Just do it one after another, and we will be able to open the supply for everyone. By then, let everyone drink to their fill."
Hahahaha, Wang Lianggong laughed, and then asked: "What is the current production capacity of such photolithography machines in Shanghai? Can mass production be achieved?"
Wu Hao gave a very definite answer: "No problem at all. We were based on mass production at the beginning of research and development, so the entire equipment adopts a modular design and all specifications are unified. As long as the standard specifications are determined, subsequent production will be
It just needs to be produced according to standards and then assembled like Lego.
Because the manufacturing process and technology are not mature enough, we can only produce two or three more units in a few years. When the relevant production technology and manufacturing process mature next year, we will achieve an annual output of ten units, which can basically satisfy the domestic demand.
need."
It’s still too little. Our country’s demand for high-end lithography machines and high-end chips is huge. You can be bolder in this area. Wang Lianggong was a little dissatisfied with this number.
Wu Hao explained with a smile: "Of course we know this, but the entire production plan still needs to follow the company's overall market development and operation strategic plan. It is also a good thing to be more prudent.
What's more, the five-nanometer lithography machine is just the beginning. Our goal is to achieve a process breakthrough in the 3-nanometer process within two to three years and start pre-development of the 2-nanometer process lithography machine."
Ha, your tone is quite good. Wang Lianggong said in surprise.
