Chapter 396 411: Shocked Zhou Self-study

After Cao Mang came back from BYD, he asked Lu Xiaolei to help him make an appointment with the chairman of Hua Hong Semiconductor and the chairman of SMIC.

See the chairman of SMIC first, and see the chairman of Hua Hong Semiconductor.

December 2015, 9.

Cao Mang took a flight to Shanghai at 8 a.m., landed at Pudong Airport at 10:11, and then drove directly to SMIC. It was already 30:[-] when he arrived at SMIC.

The vehicle was rented by members of the bodyguard team who flew to Shanghai in advance yesterday.

The area of ​​the SMIC Industrial Park is a little smaller than that of the Deep Blue Industrial Park. The SMIC Industrial Park covers a total area of ​​5.3 square kilometers.

Sun Zhonghao followed the navigation to the front of the SMIC office building.

Cao Mang got out of the car only after Shen Lidong got off the car and opened the door.

Then the two walked straight into the office building, and they stood up as soon as they entered the front desk of the building.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, what can I do for you?" Duan Qinqin asked.

Duan Qinqin looks very similar to Zhou Haimei, but her mountains are much bigger than Zhou Haimei's.

"I'm from Deep Blue Technology, and I've made an appointment with you Director Zhou." Cao Mang said.

"Mr. Cao, please come with me. The chairman is already waiting for you upstairs." Duan Qinqin smiled slightly.

The elevator was about 500 meters away from the front desk. The two of them followed Duan Qinqin and walked through time to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, Qinqin kept peeking at Cao Mang. The handsome guy was very popular wherever he went.

After entering the elevator, Cao Mang discovered that SMIC's floor was only on the fourth floor. He didn't know if it was because the floors were designed to be relatively high, so their office building was designed to be four floors high.

"Ding dong~ The fourth floor is here."

After the voice broadcast, the elevator door opened slowly, and Duan Qinqin walked out of the elevator first, and then the two followed her and continued on.

After walking about 300 meters, we arrived at the chairman's office.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Duan Qinqin knocked on the door before pushing it open, and the people in the office quickly responded, and Duan Qinqin pushed the door open after receiving the response.

After the door opened, Cao Mang saw a middle-aged man sitting at his desk.

The area of ​​the office is not very large, only about [-] square meters, which is far from Cao Mang's office.

The middle-aged man looks very honest, but half of his head is bald.

The man stood up from his seat and greeted Cao Mang with a smile.

"Mr. Cao, welcome to SMIC." Zhou Zixue smiled honestly and stretched out his hand.

Zhou Zixue, male, from Jiangshan, Zhejiang Province, began working in 1980, a doctoral student, a master of management engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, a doctor of economic history from Central China Normal University, and a senior accountant.

In January 2015, he served as Chairman of SMIC.

"Mr. Zhou, please be polite." Cao Mang shook hands with the other party.

Perhaps because people in Zhejiang Province also like to drink tea, there is also a tea table in Zhou Zixue's office.

"Mr. Cao, let's drink tea and chat over there." Zhou Zixue said as he put his hand towards the tea table.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou is also a tea lover." Cao Mang smiled.

Then the two sat down in front of the tea table. Zhou Zixue's tea table used huanghuali. Although Cao Mang didn't have much research on wood, he could tell its variety at a glance.

Zhou Zixue sat down at the main seat and started making tea.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Cao has when he visits SMIC this time?" Zhou Zixue asked after pressing the water button.

"I came here this time mainly to discuss a big business with Mr. Zhou," Cao Mang said.

"Oh, Cao always wants to find SMIC to manufacture chips?" Zhou Zixue asked.

"Yes, but I don't just want to find you as an OEM, I want to contract all of your 28nm production capacity." Cao Mang said.

Not long after Cao Mang returned to the industrial park yesterday, he received a call from the laboratory. The laboratory has already produced both types of memory.

The performance of these two new types of memory is better than that of all existing memory. These two types of memory will definitely become the first choice in the mobile phone market. Deepblue Technology wants to meet the needs of the entire mobile phone market.

Then it is necessary to contract SMIC's production capacity.

SMIC's production capacity alone may not be able to meet the needs of the entire mobile phone market.

Although SMIC has been able to mass produce 28nm chips, their yield rate is only 85%, and there are not many lithography machines that can produce 28nm.

SMIC is expected to be able to produce up to 40 8-inch wafers a month.

Zhou Zixue's heart trembled when he heard Cao Mang's words. The other party actually wanted to contract all the production capacity. You must know that SMIC's production capacity is not small.

"Does Mr. Cao know what SMIC's monthly production capacity is?" Zhou Zixue asked curiously.

"Our monthly production capacity is 40 pieces of 8-inch wafers. This production capacity may not be enough for me, because our demand is more than you imagined. If necessary, I have to find another foundry. " Cao Mang replied.

Hearing Cao Mang's words, Zhou Zixue couldn't believe it. What kind of chips was Deep Blue Technology going to produce? There was such a huge demand. You know, few companies in the world could capture this production capacity.

"I don't know what chip Cao always wants to generate?" Zhou Zixue put a sterilized cup in front of Cao Mang and asked.

"I want to generate memory particles. Deep Blue has the most advanced technology in the world. Our memory is the best in the industry. Once our products are launched, I believe that friends will rush to buy them." Cao Mang finished speaking. Hands raised.

Shen Lidong took out a document from his briefcase and put it in Cao Mang's hand.

It is full of force.

Bangzi's chaebols are all so pretentious.

Cao Mang handed the information in the memory to the other party, and Zhou Zixue also extended his hand to receive the information.

5 minutes later
The boiling water in the kettle has been boiling for a long time.

Zhou Zixue was obsessed with Cao Mang's report.

The performance of HMBSR memory and kos storage memory launched by Deep Blue Technology is really powerful.

Zhou Zixue swallowed involuntarily. If these two products were launched on the market, other memory manufacturers would not have to live anymore, because the performance of these two types of memory is too powerful.

The capacity of a single layer of HMBSR memory is 2GB, the memory bandwidth reaches 307Gbps, the operating frequency reaches 6800MHz, and a maximum of 8 layers can be superimposed to achieve a capacity of 16GB.

After being superimposed to 16GB, the memory bandwidth reaches 680Gpbs, and most importantly, its latency is 4% lower than that of DDR25.

Overall, its performance is 4 times that of DDR2.7.

It’s strange that such performance doesn’t sell well.

The performance of kos storage memory is even more exaggerated. The most advanced usf2.0 is only 11.6 Gbps, and the speed of kos reaches 30Gbps.

Maybe you don't know much about how fast the speed of 30Gbps is.

The usf4.0 in the previous life was only 23.2Gbps.

The maximum read speed can reach 6.8GB per second, and the memory write speed can reach 4GB per second.

Of course, if you want to achieve such a fast speed, you need the support of the CPU or memory master chip.

This is only the most basic HMBSR and kos. If it is produced with 14 nanometers, the performance can be improved by about 40%, but it is not used now.

In addition, the 14nm production capacity is very tight, and most of the production capacity is taken up by Qualcomm and Fruitbag. It is basically difficult for Deep Blue to continue supplying.

"I don't know when Mr. Cao wants to give birth?" Zhou Zixue asked.

"Of course, the faster, the better." Cao Mang replied.

"Mr. Cao, I don't know if you have brought the chip source files. I have to ask the people below to estimate the price first. As for the production schedule, we will wait until the price is estimated.

It's getting late, how about we have lunch first? "Zhou Zixue said.

"No problem." Cao Mang nodded.

Cao Mang took a USB flash drive from Shen Lidong and handed it to Shen Lidong.

After taking the USB flash drive, Zhou Zixue returned to his work station, sent the chip source files to the sales department, and then returned to the tea table again.

"Mr. Cao, our place is quite far from the city. Would you mind eating in the cafeteria? The food in our cafeteria is quite good." Zhou Zixue asked.

"I don't mind." Cao Mang replied.

After ordering, the two found a random place in the cafeteria and sat down.

Although the food in the SMIC cafeteria is a little worse than that of Deep Blue, it is much better than the cafeterias of other companies.

Cao Mang chose three meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes and ordered two bowls of rice. Shen Lidong ordered five meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes and four bowls of rice. Cao Mang felt that this guy was no different from a rice bucket.

"Deep Blue Technology can bring surprises to everyone every time, but there are too few companies like Deep Blue Technology, otherwise our semiconductor industry would have taken off long ago." Zhou Zixue said while eating.

“It’s so easy to make money in China, so they are unwilling to invest in semiconductors, which are too risky.

I had long expected that one day, Deep Blue would grow too fast and it would inevitably conflict with foreign capital, so when I was making mobile phones, I was already doing related research and development.

It is impossible for them to allow a Chinese company to surpass them.

As early as half a year ago, foreign memory manufacturers had cut off the supply of Deep Blue Technology.

If I hadn't prepared earlier.

Maybe Deep Blue Technology will not be able to launch products tomorrow.

During this period, Qualcomm and MediaTek also cut off the supply to Deep Blue. If it weren't for Mr. Ren's support for Deep Blue, Deep Blue would not be able to support it now. "Cao Mang replied.

"That's right. After all, the core technology is in the hands of others. The foot pot chicken is a good example. What we want to develop is self-improvement." Zhou Zixue said.

"Mr. Zhou, I wonder how the research and development of SMIC's lithography machine is going?" Cao Mang asked.

"Mr. Cao is not afraid to tell you that there is no problem in producing a 130-nanometer lithography machine, but a 90-nanometer lithography machine is still a little far away. There are too many problems that need to be solved. The light source and lens are both big problems." Zhou Zixue replied.

The 130nm lithography machine is not very useful. Even if it is equipped with multiple exposure technology, it can only produce 65nm chips at most. Such a backward technology cannot be exported at all.

Because 65nm lithography machines can be bought anywhere.

Even if the research and development is successful, it will only make foreigners laugh. This is why SMIC has not announced it to the outside world.

"Maybe I can help with the light source lens problem. Our laboratory has been studying this kind of thing for a long time, and now we have some ideas there.

The person in charge of the project told me that it will be available by the end of next year at the latest.

The light source is a 14nm EVU light source. As for the advanced technology of the lens, what we are researching is a graphene lens, which can achieve the required precision without polishing.

The lens angle error is basically 0, whether it is a lens or a mirror, it can be realized by this technology.

The working principle of this lens is a bit like a liquid lens. The lens angle is adjusted through electric ions. At present, we can mass-produce ordinary graphene lenses.

Deep Blue Technology will use this technology in the next generation of mobile phones. "Cao Mang said.

Hearing Cao Mang's words, Zhou Zixue was stunned. He looked at Cao Mang like a monster.

Nima.

The young man in front of me must be cheating. A company that was established less than two years ago can come up with so many black technologies.

Not to mention Moore's Law, Newton's coffin board can't hold it down.

"Mr. Cao, the surprise you gave me is even more amazing than a chicken sinking in a foot basin. If Deep Blue can really solve the problem of light source and lens, SMIC will be able to make a 14nm lithography machine within a year.

That is, we can make chips of 7nm and 5nm for you. "Zhou Zixue said excitedly while applying pressure.

However, before Shenlan brought out these technologies, Zhou Zixue still wanted to maintain a neutral attitude. After all, the information given by Cao Mang was too shocking.

It's not that no one in China is researching these things, but no one can produce results. What if the people in the laboratory fooled Cao Mang.

Although Cao Mang said that it will be available by the end of the year, who knows if there will be any accidents in the middle, if there is an accident, it will not be in vain.

In fact, Cao Mang really wanted to tell him that we still have NIL nanoimprint technology.

This technology laboratory will be able to achieve mass production next year. After mass production, the cost of 28nm will drop significantly, and the chip will drop to the price of cabbage by then.

"President Zhou is waiting for my good news." Cao Mang smiled.

It was one o'clock in a blink of an eye.

After eating in the canteen, the two returned to the office to drink tea.

When Zhou Zixue was making tea, his cell phone rang. Zhou Zixue took out his cell phone from his pocket. The cell phone he used was the Deep Blue 1S produced by Deep Blue.

[Ding Changyuan: Chairman, the price has been estimated. 2GB of HMBSR memory is priced at US$1.55, 4GB is priced at US$1.87, 8GB is US$1.99, kos memory is priced at US$8 for 1.97GB, 16GB is US$2.67, and 32GB is US$3.47]

Ding Changyuan worked overtime after receiving Zhou's self-study information to complete the chip evaluation.

Because chip prices follow international trends, they also use U.S. dollars as the unit.

"Mr. Cao, the price of a chip is US$1.765. Because there is still a problem with the yield rate, the cost is three points higher than abroad. The current price is..." Zhou Zixue said.

Because more than 8GB of kos memory requires the use of superposition technology, the manufacturing cost is relatively high.

Cao Mang was quite satisfied with the price, it was only a difference of three percentage points.

"If there is no problem, just settle at this price. I will send someone to contact you later." Cao Mang nodded.

"If Mr. Cao can accept this price, then we have settled on it." Zhou Zixue said and poured the brewed tea into Cao Mang's cup.

Cao Mang has rounded up the production capacity of the 28nm process, so Zhou Zixue doesn't have to worry about the performance in the second half of the year.
