Rebirth: Fight For Life

  Chapter 440 We set the rules together, and you have to abide by them too! (14 for subscription)

  Kevin Carr bought out the set of 3D flash memory patents that Toshiba had authorized for 3 years with 1.2 billion, and continued to show his edge, with 460 million US dollars to take the exclusive global authorization of DDR4 patents in the next 20 years.

   The limitation is only that Xinhuo Technology itself can also produce and sell globally.

   And some of the latter patents that are not like 3D flash memory architecture and DDR4, Kevin Carr did not shoot again.

  Although DACs and image processors are also world-leading, their monopoly advantages and profits are not that great.

   Of course, big players like Samsung have not been spared. Li Rong paid 46 million US dollars and 79 million US dollars respectively, and won the 20-year exclusive license of these two chips.

  The restrictions are even stricter. The industries under the Flint Group can only use these two chips for their own use.

  Gu Song didn't care about this, anyway, it was the first two generations of machines used by the rover.

   He even took out some core patents like 4G communication technology.

   Feng Qingyang and Ma Krypton looked at Ren Zhengfei in surprise, because in fact, Flint Technology and Huawei contributed some of their own achievements to the overall solution of 4G.

   I saw that Ren Zhengfei didn't show any expression, but when he saw them looking over, he smiled gently.

  Feng Qingyang thought about it, and seemed to understand a little.

  Perhaps, it is to let part of the patent pool go out, so that the 4G standard can be implemented faster?

  This part of the core patent of 4G, unsurprisingly, was taken away by Kevin Carr again.

   And the rest of the patents were acquired by Ericsson.

   Now it's more like that.

  Maybe... After the Ihu Conference, there will be IP companies with a complete set of patents for complete 4G communication technology. These are the shareholders.

  Then the 4G standard was successfully implemented and officially moved towards commercial use. Everyone pays the company according to a unified standard, and the shareholders divide the fruit.

  Gu Song smiled and watched the auctioneer tap the hammer and enter the most important patent.

"The 22nm process technology and the 3D tri-gate transistor technology are bundled together for a 20-year global exclusive license. The restrictions refer to the DDR4 patent, which only does not limit the production and sales of Xinhuo Technology in the world. The starting price , 1 billion US dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 10 million US dollars!" The auctioneer was so excited that he could blow it for a lifetime.

   The starting price is 1 billion US dollars. Are you hungry for art auctions? This deal is done! The auctioneer feels that after the auction is finished tonight, he must take a break! Seriously!

   In the face of this craft that has really come at least five to ten years ahead of the times, and is the most core craft, the major consortiums can no longer hold back.

  Although it is only a 20-year license, not a real buyout.

   But 20 years! Twenty years from now, how much value will the most cutting-edge and core technology in the entire integrated circuit field generate?

  The major giants spend billions of dollars in research and development spending every year, what do you want to do?

   is not just about staying ahead and maintaining a monopoly position!

  Now, save 5 years, how much money can you save? How much more can you earn?

   This is a strategic level thing!

If it is said that the previous 3D flash memory and DDR4, or 4G technology, were only half-enterprise and half-country to play like this, then the 22-nanometer process that involves the evolution of all-round process technology is properly a national strategy. things are up.

   The source of this money, who knows what percentage is the company’s own?

   Even the representative of SMC also ended up.

The price of    quickly reached 3 billion US dollars before starting to increase in units of tens of millions.

   The auctioneer's face turned red: "With 3.17 billion US dollars, is No. 7 the most powerful? He has spent more than 2 billion US dollars to win many patents, and others have a great chance!"

  Okamura, on behalf of the consortium behind it, added another $30 million, but he knew that this was just a passing game.

   However, since the Illuminati are determined to control this batch of patents, they have to spend a little more. Only in this way can everyone unite in the future, and in the situation where other parties use them to transfer such a large amount of funds together, we can get a little benefit!

  Li Rong added another 50 million backhand, and the representative sent by BSMC added another 75 million.

   Intel's representative, the old god, was present, and the sign was not raised.

   Their competitor AMD, also saw these consortiums compete with a smile on their faces.

   For them, they know that no matter what, in the end, these technologies need to be converted into benefits through them.

   Anyway, our shareholders have their shadows behind them. These specific allocations will be discussed later, it is not the first time anyway.

   After Kevin Carr called out the high price of 4.18 billion again, the bidding finally died down.

   After shouting three times, the auctioneer tapped the hammer excitedly: "$4.18 billion, sold!"

  Although the commission for this auction is not even half of the normal auction, the total turnover is really impressive! Although it is less than ten billion dollars, it is not far from it!

  Gu Song stood up and applauded: "Congratulations, Mr. Kevin."

  Kevin Carr smiled and said, "Mr. Gu Song's career deserves our support!"

Gu Song ignored his words, took over the position of auctioneer and said: "Next, there is a special plan, that is, the EUV lithography machine mentioned at the press conference. Everyone has a judgment, if the equipment and process are not The method continues to maintain the speed of iteration, and Moore's Law will soon be unsustainable. Flint Technology is embarking on the research and development of the next-generation lithography machine, and is also exploring the ideas of the next-generation process technology."

"Recently, we have made some small progress, and at the same time, we also realized that perhaps entering the 10-nanometer-level process technology, we can no longer use traditional lithography thinking to overcome difficulties, but need to be combined with material structure technology. The difficulty of a complex project, I believe that friends from Intel and other companies have already felt it in the process of participating in ASML's EUV lithography machine project."

"Now, Flint Technology is also here to ASML, as well as companies and capital interested in the EUV lithography machine project, to participate in the research and development of the EUV lithography project of Flint Technology and Huaguo Huhai Microelectronics Equipment. This cooperation The full set of patented technologies for EUV lithography machines produced by research and development will eventually be jointly operated by all participants in proportion to their contributions."

Gu Song said sincerely in the spotlight: "Friends, this may be one of the most sophisticated instruments and equipment ever developed by human beings! I think it is a symbol. The further development of civilization already requires close global cooperation. .Like the International Space Station, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor program, the Large Hadron Collider program, are the result of this development trend. Now, in the field of integrated circuits, we have also come to a position close to the limit, moving forward, There needs to be more investment, and more communication.”

"Now, the immersion lithography machine can maintain a sufficient yield under the 22-nanometer process. But two years later, once it is necessary to enter the field of the 15-nanometer process, I hope that there will be a new generation of lithography machines. To be honest, today Flint Technology is willing to come up with so many leading achievements, open authorization and even transfer to varying degrees, just hoping to try a new cooperation and development model from the closed and monopolized industry environment.”

   "After all, the global market is still very large, isn't it? Why don't we hurry up and move the world into the future?"

  The full audience was not impressed by his seemingly impassioned gesture.

   is a message he revealed.

  After two years, can EUV lithography machine come out?

  If you can, you can maintain the tradition of Moore's Law guiding the industry for a longer time, provided that...don't have such a guy to disrupt the rhythm.

  The representative of Intel said directly: "We hope that Flint Technology, as an important representative of HSIA, will participate in the formulation of ITRS, and follow the guidelines of the international semiconductor technology development blueprint to develop together with the semiconductor industry."

  Gu Song smiled brilliantly: "This is the honor of Flint Technology."

   This is to think that the technological development blueprint has been disrupted too much by flint technology.

  Want to pull Flint Technology together and sit in a row, and then you have to abide by it?

   Thanks to the owner of lgh_OoO for the reward, it will be updated every day today!
