Technology: Breaking the monopoly global hegemony

Chapter 93 Eighteen Inch Wafers
There are talents, land, and factory equipment, but after all, [-] million is only enough for the initial consumption.

Substantial capital investment will be required later.

As for the remaining holes, how to fill them reasonably, Gu Qing already has an idea.

Xiawei and Yijia, the two mobile phone manufacturers that have deeply bundled the use of [Boundary Monument], have really seen their sales take off this year.

In the mid-to-high-end market, Xia Wei even sells better than Apple.

In the low-to-mid-end market, Yijia has already been able to compete with Rice.

The sales of rice's mobile phone business have also increased this year. These three companies have harvested the world and seized the mobile phone market at various prices.

At the beginning, they did not expect that the price/performance ratio and strong privacy protection could not be ignored. For users in the European and American markets, it was like a kitten met with freeze-dried and dried fish, and everyone couldn’t stop.

Due to the sharp increase in sales and slow production ramp-up, in many places, it is even hard to find a machine, and it is easy to make money by reselling it.

The good friends have made a lot of money, and the little brother wants some money, will it be difficult?
Especially for some good partners who want to crack the [Boundary Monument] but have not succeeded in cracking it, what should they do if there is no [Boundary Monument] blessing in the second half of next year?

The bait that was put down at the beginning can finally be reaped a little profit today.

In fact, this is like some loans. The lower the initial price, the higher the price later.

Friends, get some here. If it is not enough, it is not difficult for units with confidentiality qualifications to find banks to loan some money.Moreover, semiconductor is an industry that Daxia vigorously cultivates, so it is not difficult to ask the Chengdu City Government to give some "help".

With a solution, Gu Qing felt much more relaxed.

After sending his parents on the bullet train back home, he took An Hetang to transfer to Rongcheng Airport.

For the sake of his waist and sleep quality, boss Gu bought the first-class cabin this time.

After catching up on sleep on the plane and eating something, Pengcheng arrived.

As a prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province, a city specifically listed in the national plan, a megacity, a Daxia Special Economic Zone approved by the State Council, a national economic center city and an international city.

Gu Qing felt that Pengcheng was fast.

As soon as they got off the plane, people were in a hurry, even Xia Wei who came to pick him up from the plane, when he spoke to Gu Qing, he spoke faster than people from other places.

Since he didn't bring any luggage, Gu Qing asked the receptionist to take him directly to Xia Wei's headquarters.

After getting out of the car, Yu Chengdong, who was busy with work, unexpectedly appeared downstairs in the company.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see."

"Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you still have the same demeanor."

Yu Chengdong, who was born in the [-]s, warmly embraced Gu Qing, who was born in the [-]s.

After completing the formalities at the door, Yu Chengdong brushed his face all the way and brought Gu Qing and An Hetang to his office.

Both parties are old friends, and it was Xia Wei who took the initiative to invite Gu Qing and other partners to discuss matters in Pengcheng, so the atmosphere in the office is not bad.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yu Chengdong asked: "Mr. Gu came to Pengcheng ahead of time, do you need any help? We Xia Wei dare not say anything else, but we will still find ways to help our friends."

Gu Qing nodded.Said: "In 16, the annual shipment of smart phones increased by 2.3% year-on-year. Based on our cooperation, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have accumulated a lot of money. I predict that the annual shipment of smart phones in 17 should increase by more than 10% year-on-year.

But this time, Mr. Ren suddenly invited our important partners to discuss matters. I don't think it's to give us big red envelopes, right? "

Hearing this, Yu Chengdong's expression froze for a moment.

"Sure enough, he is indeed a genius with meticulous logic."

After speaking, Yu Chengdong looked at An Hetang behind Gu Qing.

Gu Qing waved his hand, and An Hetang walked out of the office.

Asking his secretary to go out and look at the door, Yu Chengdong sighed and said, "Oh, Gu boy, you can see it, but do you think those bosses can't see it?"

Gu Qing shook his head and nodded again.

Some of the bosses in Daxia are very shrewd, but they always do some stupid things, and some are very stupid, but occasionally they do some shrewd things.

"The better the mobile phone business develops, the more alarmed we are, and the higher the sales volume, the more cautious we are. However, this time Hanxing's acquisition of GlobalFoundries has sounded the alarm for us."

After talking for a long time, he finally got what he wanted to hear.

Gu Qing was not in a hurry, he said: "From chip manufacturing to software design, operating system, foreign countries are far ahead of us.

This time, I'm here for it. "

He handed Yu Chengdong a document he carried with him.

Yu Chengdong's expression was quite peaceful at first, but the more he looked at it, the more his brows were furrowed.

After he read the document from beginning to end, his hands even trembled a little.

"Do you have the technology to make wafers now? Or have you broken through [-] inches to [-] inches?"

Yu Chengdong was astonished. If it wasn't for the fact that the young man in front of him was a genius he recognized, he might have already asked security to throw the liar out.

Now the most high-end wafer manufacturing plant is only [-] inches. Just like this, the yield rate of Daxia manufacturers is pitifully low. Isn’t it a lie to make an [-]-inch wafer now?

It is well known that the larger the silicon wafer, the more chips it can produce. Wouldn’t it be better to just make the silicon wafer bigger?Has the manufacturer not considered it?

Of course not, and the manufacturer has not considered it, but the characteristics of the wafer itself will limit the size that the manufacturer can make.

In the production process, the farther away from the center of the wafer, the more prone to dead spots.Expanding outward from the center of the silicon wafer, the number of dead pixels will gradually increase.

Therefore, when the technology is immature, manufacturers will not easily expand the size of the wafer.

If the [-]-inch wafer technology in this document is true and feasible, chip manufacturers will save a lot of cost.

It even caused the production of Xiaxin Technology to soar directly!

This will slow down the external core problems of domestic mobile phones a lot. After all, not all mobile phones and high-tech products use the highest-end 10nm chips. The chips with the largest shipments are those after 12nm and 14nm.

Xiaxin Technology has been able to manufacture chips of this level, but the yield rate is not high, resulting in high costs.

The production scale and output expectations described in this document made Yu Chengdong's brain a little bloodshot. If this can be realized, it will simply be the cheapest and best gunpowder for domestic chips and let them play!
Can the yield rate increase?

We have a lot of raw materials!You just give birth!Work hard!
"Is the technology on this document real?"

Gu Qing nodded.

"Can we use this technology?"

Gu Qing nodded slightly: "The technology on this document is mine."

Yu Chengdong only felt that his blood pressure was slightly elevated.

"Do you know what that means!?" he said excitedly.
