Chapter 219 Introduction and Production
Li Chengqian smiled under the eyes of everyone.
He walked under the big screen and turned on the microphone and computer.
"Welcome everyone to Shenlong Software Company! I am Li Chengqian." After Li Chengqian gave a brief introduction, he clicked the computer.
On the big screen behind him, the main parameters of Shenlong 1 lithography machine were displayed immediately!
"Shenlong-1 lithography machine can produce chips from 7 to 90nm!"
"Can accommodate silicon wafers with a diameter of 50 to 450 mm!"
"Under normal circumstances, it can process 300 pieces of 450mm silicon wafers per hour! It can process 216,000 silicon wafers per month!"
Following Li Chengqian's introduction to the Shenlong 1 lithography machine, many people stared at Li Chengqian in disbelief.
"Silicon wafers with a diameter of 450 mm can be adapted!" Most lithography machines in the world only support silicon wafers with a diameter of 300 mm.
Because with the expansion of the diameter of the silicon wafer, more stringent requirements will be placed on the control accuracy of the lithography machine console.
Even ASML has very few lithography machines that can adapt to 450nm silicon wafers, and the price is about 30% more expensive than the lithography machines that can adapt to 300mm diameter silicon wafers.
The price of an ordinary duv lithography machine is 300 million yuan, but the price of a duv lithography machine that can process 450 nanometers has soared to 400 million yuan.
"The production efficiency of Shenlong 1 lithography machine is much higher than ASML's!"
"ASML's lithography machine can only process 200 300mm silicon wafers in one hour, and Shenlong 1 lithography machine can process 300 400mm silicon wafers in one hour."
"If it is converted into 300mm, the Shenlong 1 lithography machine can process 600 pieces of 300mm silicon wafers in one hour... The processing speed is three times higher than that of ASML!"
"If what Li Chengqian said is true, the Shenlong 1 lithography machine can produce 430,000 pieces of 300mm silicon wafers a month." Many people were stunned by the production efficiency introduced by Li Chengqian.
"This data is unlikely! We have just developed a duv lithography machine, so it is more advanced than ASML?" Some people have doubts in their hearts.
"This data is too exaggerated!"
"Really, if it wasn't for Li Chengqian's introduction above, I would turn around and leave!"
After Li Chengqian gave a brief introduction to the Shenmo 1 lithography machine, he paused, seeing hesitation in the eyes of many people, he continued to speak with a smile.
"Just now, I introduced to you the parameters of the Shenlong 1 lithography machine!"
"Next, let me show you something..."
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Li Chengqian tapped the computer lightly.
Suddenly, the video began to play on the big screen.
The picture on the big screen is exactly the same as that in the factory.
The picture is facing the lithography room of the lithography machine.
In the picture, the silicon wafers on the workbench are moving rapidly.
At the moment of pause after every movement, a strong light flashes in the lens above the silicon wafer.
In a few blinks, a piece of silicon wafer was exposed and then sent out by the machine.
"This is the picture of me experimenting with the Shenlong 1 lithography machine in the morning!"
"Using 150 mm diameter silicon wafers, Kirin's 14nm chips are produced."
"The mask of the chip was borrowed from the National Chip Corporation."
Following Li Chengqian's words, a close-up of the mask appeared in the video.
"In this experimental production, a total of 1,680 chips were produced, and 1,680 were actually produced. After testing, 1,650 were good products...the actual good product rate was 98.2%."
When Li Chengqian introduced it, the picture on the big screen changed to a picture of chip testing.
"Judging from the experimental production in the morning, the Shenlong 1 lithography machine has reached the most advanced international level in the production of 14nm chips!"
"For chips of other processes, because there is no mask, I have not conducted experiments for the time being!"
After the video started, everyone’s eyes were attracted by the video. Originally, there were still some discussions and noises in the crowd.
After Li Chengqian's video showed the photolithography machine working, all the chatting stopped.
Everyone watched the video, for fear of missing a scene, and everyone pricked up their ears, for fear of missing any word Li Chengqian said.
When Li Chengqian said that the yield rate of 14nm chips was 98%, many people were shocked.
Especially the engineers of National Chip Corporation, when they heard this value, it felt like hearing a myth.
Because the national chip company produces 14nm chips, the yield rate only reaches 62%!
Don't think that 62% is very little! In fact, this is already the average score in the world! Nothing less.
However, Li Chengqian said that Shenlong 1 can increase the yield rate to 98%.
This is an extremely scary number.
Many people were shocked by the value Li Chengqian said!
"Mr. Li, is this true?" Even Wang Yizhi, who had always been elegant and elegant, widened his eyes when he heard the number Li Chengqian said, and then he couldn't wait to ask.
Seeing Li Chengqian nodding his head confidently, Wang Yizhi made another request, and he said cautiously, "Mr. Li, can you let us test the performance of this machine!"
"President Wang, no problem!" Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.
At first, he still felt that what Li Chengqian just said was exaggerated to a certain extent, but Li Chengqian agreed to the experiment without hesitation, which proved that Li Chengqian had extremely strong confidence in this machine.
Before Wang Yizhi could speak, Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, because the experimental production takes a long time!"
"Experimental production can only be carried out at the end."
"Let me introduce the relevant matters first!"
Wang Yizhi nodded, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, "That's natural!"
He came prepared this time. Not only did he bring all the relevant engineers from the National Chip Corporation, but he also asked the engineers to bring silicon wafers ranging from 120mm to 300mm.
also brought 10nm, 14nm, 28nm, 45nm chip masks.
He brought some other raw materials necessary for chip production!
As long as Li Chengqian agrees to experiment, he can use the things he brought to test the true level of the Shenlong 1 lithography machine.
"Everyone, just now, we played the video produced by Shenlong 1 lithography machine!"
"And published the data on the yield rate of production."
"Next, I want to tell you a piece of news that will make everyone feel more at ease."
"Shenlong 1 lithography machine is a 100% domestic lithography machine!"
After Li Chengqian said these words, everyone looked at Li Chengqian incredulously.
Even more shocking than hearing 98% yield.
Because, a 100% domestic lithography machine cannot do it at all!
Lens, light source, ultra-precision motor!
This is a mountain that domestic lithography machines cannot overcome, and it has always hindered the development of lithography machines.
"What does this sentence mean?"
"It means that the most critical components in this lithography machine, the lens, light source, and motor, are all made in China!"
"The ultra-precision motors used in lithography machines are produced by Inovance, a subsidiary of Shenlong Software."
"The high-power light source equipment used in the lithography machine is produced by Shenlong's aviation light source company."
"The glass lens of the lithography machine used in the lithography machine is produced by Shenlong's special optics company."
"Other non-critical components are all purchased from domestic companies!"
"From the inside to the outside, 100% domestic!"
"And, all parts can be mass-produced..."
"If we start production at full capacity, we can produce hundreds of machines a year, and there will be no problem at all."
Actually, the lithography machine market is not very big, with sales of only one or two hundred units a year.
There is no operating system business to make money.
However, lithography machines are not just business! It is still the key to chip production, so Li Chengqian bothered to develop and produce lithography machines.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he stopped and looked at the shocked Wang Yizhi calmly.
The scene was silent for a full minute, as if the mute button had been pressed! Without a sound, everyone looked at Li Chengqian in shock.
In everyone's mind, there was only one sentence Li Chengqian said just now, which deeply shocked everyone.
"From the inside to the outside, 100% domestically produced! And can produce hundreds of units a year!"
Then, another thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Asmail, I'm afraid it will be over this time!
"Mr. Li, is what you just said true?" Wang Yizhi finally regained his strength, and said in a trembling voice, looking at Li Chengqian nervously.
Others will only think that Li Chengqian is powerful. As for how powerful he is, he has no idea what impact it will have on the entire chip industry.
Only Wang Yizhi knows how important what Li Chengqian is saying and what he is doing now!
As long as what Li Chengqian just said is true, the pattern of the whole world will change because of what Li Chengqian said and what he did.
This time, it broke through the most critical bottleneck technology in the chip industry, after the DUV lithography machine.
No country can limit the development potential of Shenlong Kingdom in integrated circuits.
The Dawei chip, which has been banned from production, will reappear and lead the world!
Moreover, a large number of chips that originally needed to be imported can be produced in Shenlong in the future. After the cost is reduced, at least 80% of the funds used to purchase chips can be reduced.
With its own chip production capacity, it is likely to change the pattern of chips in the world.
In the future, the chips produced by Shenlong will be sold worldwide, bringing a large amount of wealth from other countries into Shenlong.
Moreover, Li Chengqian just said that hundreds of DUV lithography machines can be produced a year...
The world's total annual consumption is less than 200 units!
Judging from the production efficiency of Shenlong 1 lithography machine, as long as the price does not exceed ASML’s lithography machine,
In the future, in the field of DUV lithography machines, there will really be no such thing as ASML!
