Chapter 434 Ultra Precision Optical Engineering Center

Chapter 434 Ultra Precision Optical Engineering Center
After not sitting in Zhang Xiao's room for too long, Hu Yang and Chen Jialin said goodbye and left together.

"Brother Hu, since you still have something to do here, why don't Jiajia and I go to Baishan first. After you finish your work here, you can go to us with Zhang Dong."

Chen Jialin has nothing to do with the high-end lithography machine project, so it is impossible for him to go to the Institute of Optical Machinery with Hu Yang.

"That's fine too. Tomorrow you, Jiajia, Sichun, Lu Dacheng and Ade will go to Baishan first, and Assistant Lin and Ajie will stay. I will go to Baishan to find you later."

What Zhang Xiao meant was to get in touch with the Institute of Optics and Mechanics first, and then go to Baishan for a skiing vacation.

Hu Yang didn't care, but there was no need for a group of people to stay here and wait for him.

After deciding on the next itinerary, Chen Jialin rented a car from the hotel and headed straight to Baishan with a large group of people early the next morning.

Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao came to the Optical Mechanics Institute after going to work in the morning.

"Mr. Hu, let's wait at the door for a while. I have a friend who is an employee of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics. He will come out to pick us up later."

As an important domestic research institution, it is naturally impossible to enter and exit at will like a vegetable market.

Zhang Xiao's friend is the deputy director of the Ultra-Precise Optical Engineering Center of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics. This time he came to discuss things with the Institute, and he was introduced by him.

Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao waited for less than 5 minutes, a car drove out from the gate, and then stopped at the side of the gate.Immediately afterwards, the two saw a middle-aged man in a woolen overcoat getting out of the car and walking over.

"Mr. Hu, let me introduce you. This is my friend, director Lin Qianxiang of the Ultra-precision Optical Engineering Center. Qianxiang, this is the head of the Huijia Department I told you about, Hu Yang, Mr. Hu .”

Zhang Xiao introduced the two, and Lin Qianxiang shook hands with Hu Yang enthusiastically.

"Hehe, it's the deputy director. Mr. Zhang, please don't shout. Mr. Hu, you are welcome to visit the Institute of Optics and Mechanics! Both of you, please follow me."

Lin Qianxiang is very considerate in dealing with people, which is even better than Zhang Xiao.

"Qianxiang, we have told you about our reason for coming this time, do you think the problem is serious?"

Although Zhang Xiao has a good relationship with Lin Qianxiang, such a cooperation involving two units cannot be decided by just one person.

"Well, this question is not easy to answer. It just so happens that Director Liao of the center is here today. I will take you to meet him now. If you have any ideas, sit down and talk slowly."

Lin Qianxiang laughed and asked Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao to get in the car, and then drove them to the Ultra Precision Optical Engineering Center.

The optical machine occupies a large area, covering an area of ​​54 square meters.According to Lin Qianxiang, the institute has more than 2000 employees and nearly 1000 graduate students.

Walking into the building of the Center for Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao not only had to show their IDs, but also filled in detailed personal information.

After registering their personal information, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao were allowed to follow Lin Qianxiang into the building.

"Old Zhang, Mr. Hu, please don't mind. The security level of the unit is relatively high, and the identification of outsiders is a necessary procedure."

Even if it is led by the deputy director of the center, the security procedures are also very strict.

Hu Yang felt that he should also learn from others, and let Hanwen improve the security level of each research department of Huijia Department later.

Lin Qianxiang led the two of them to the conference room to sit down, and someone brought tea.Not long after, a middle-aged man with a little baldness and glasses walked in.

"Director Liao, this is Chairman Zhang Xiao of Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. This is Hu Yang, the boss of Huijia International Investment Company and Huijia Holding Company. Director Zhang, Mr. Hu, this is the director of my center , Liao Zheng."

Lin Qianxiang introduced everyone to each other with a smile, and Liao Zheng came over to greet Zhang Xiao and Hu Yang one by one.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Hu, on behalf of the Ultra-Precision Optical Engineering Center, I welcome you both. Microelectronics is currently engaged in high-end lithography machines? It's amazing, this is very cutting-edge technology."

Director Liao is certainly no stranger to lithography machines. In fact, the first contact lithography machine was successfully developed in China in the 70s, and there is an important contribution from the Institute of Optics and Mechanics.

At that time, AMSL, the world-renowned company in the future, had not yet been established.

However, in the 80s, due to various reasons, the country gave up the continued research and development of lithography machines, which cannot but be said to be a pity.

"Director Liao, Deputy Director Lin, Mr. Hu and I came to your unit this time to ask for help. The research and development of high-end lithography machines has a long way to go, but the problem of light sources must be solved first. In this field, Our Checheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics is undoubtedly a leader in the domestic industry, and I hope to get your support."

Zhang Xiao knew that he was usually very busy, and it was because of Lin Qianxiang's face that he could meet today, so he spoke directly.

Hu Yang sat quietly without making a sound. He was invited to cooperate with Zhang Xiao this time, and he is not needed to play yet.

"Mr. Zhang, currently our center has a number of national key research projects under development, and we can't devote too much energy for the time being. However, the research on major integrated circuit equipment is also in line with the country's policy orientation. We will try our best to find ways to strive for Set up a project team for lithography equipment light sources in a short period of time.”

Director Liao also has difficulties, it's really not bureaucratic.

Now some research institutions can't get projects at all, and they don't have research topics, so naturally they don't have much funding.The Institute of Optics and Mechanics is different. The major scientific research projects in the institute are too busy, and there is really no motivation to accept cooperation projects entrusted by other units.

This was introduced by Lin Qianxiang, otherwise Director Liao wouldn't have said so much nonsense.

Zhang Xiao smiled and expressed his thanks, but even Hu Yang could see the disappointment in his eyes.

Lin Qianxiang couldn't say anything, so he could only cheer Zhang Xiao up and ask him to wait patiently for a while.

"Director Liao, you must know better than me how important high-end lithography equipment is to the domestic integrated circuit industry. We have submitted a report to the higher authorities and hope to get support from the national level.

In my opinion, once the country considers vigorously supporting microelectronic equipment companies, in the end, the light source will still fall on your company's head. It's really better for us to start early together, which can save time for research and development. "

At this time, Hu Yang said with a smile, his words were not persecution, but just stating a fact.

Hearing Hu Yang's words, Zhang Xiao applauded secretly, and Lin Qianxiang was thoughtful.

Director Liao thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Hu, your proposal is also very reasonable. I still have some understanding of the current international lithography equipment. Most of the current lithography equipment can develop The company has given up the 157nm light source and switched to 193 (nm) ArF light source.

For the 193 (nm) ArF light source, we have actually done in-depth research, and it is not difficult to produce results.However, I heard that ASML has joined forces with several chip manufacturing giants to start developing 35 (nm) EUV light source technology.For this technology, our accumulation is almost zero. "

"Director Liao, we need 193 (nm) ArF light source now. If you can help us solve this problem, domestic high-end lithography machines may be born as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhang Xiao heard Director Liao say this, he knew that the other party had found a step, so he hurried down the steps to smooth things over for the few people present.

At this time, Lin Qianxiang also smiled: "Look, there has been some misunderstanding after a long time. Director Liao, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Hu are not easy, why don't we spare some manpower to help the 193 (nm) ArF light source Did they work it out?"

"Okay, let's try it then."

Director Liao finally spat out and promised to get the light source out as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Director Liao, and Deputy Director Lin. Please rest assured, both of you, we can absolutely guarantee the funding for the research and development of the 193 (nm) ArF light source, and Director Zhang will send a special person to discuss specific matters."

Hu Yang knew that the R&D work must be guaranteed with sufficient funds, so he quickly expressed his opinion.As for the remaining technical issues, there will naturally be other people to negotiate, and today only the principles will be finalized.

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Hu is the big sponsor. The two of you have come from afar, and we will visit the center later. I will treat you to dinner at noon."

Director Liao took another look at Hu Yang and thought, this young man looks very rich, otherwise he would not have dared to boast just now.

To be honest, he really didn't know which onion the "Huijia Department" was. After all, the Institute of Optics and Mechanics is different from private research institutions.

Afterwards, Director Liao and Lin Qianxiang accompanied them around the center, and they were not taken to places involving secrets, but even so, it opened Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao's horizons.

At noon, Lin Qianxiang took the opportunity to introduce the "Huijia Department" to Director Liao.When Director Liao learned that the assets of Populus euphratica include many listed companies, as well as Xiangjiang and some overseas companies, he couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.

"Mr. Hu, I heard that your company has R&D institutions overseas? This is really not easy. However, like your Huijia International Investment Company, which is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, it is said that you have also registered an offshore company, which is convenient. Your overseas development.

We can’t do it like we do. We belong to the national team, and foreign exchanges and cooperation are greatly restricted, let alone having our own laboratories overseas. "

Director Liao is telling the truth. The West is very wary of companies and research institutions with state-owned backgrounds, especially Laomei.

Of course Hu Yang knew this. He wondered if he was looking for an opportunity to acquire an ultra-precision optical engineering research institute abroad?

But if you think about it carefully, forget it. The technology in this area is very sensitive, so don't cause trouble if things don't get done.

But if it is to set up such a research institution with its own funds, it is not a big problem, and this matter still needs to be carefully considered.

After dinner, Hu Yang and Zhang Xiao bid farewell to Director Liao and Lin Qianxiang, and returned to the hotel.
