Chapter 210

The graphene fab is separated from the graphene manufacturing plant!

Zhou Feng, the person in charge of the fab, came from Beijing University of Technology. He used to work for the two major semiconductor giants Intel and TSMC. He spent most of his time in the silicon fab, and was later dug into Beichen Technology by Luo Yang.

Compared with Xu He, Zhou Feng’s internal authority in Beichen Technology is lower.

Luo Yang, the graphene factory, will firmly control it and will never allow the synthesis process to leak out!

In contrast, the manufacture of graphene wafers does not need to be strictly confidential, because the Microsystem Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an 8-inch graphene wafer at the end of last year!

The equipment for producing graphene wafers is improved on the basis of silicon wafer equipment, involving single crystal furnaces, vapor phase epitaxial furnaces, oxidation furnaces, magnetron sputtering stations, etc. After modification, the final crystal produced The circle is not made of silicon, but graphene as the main body!

In the case of the same area, graphene has more powerful performance and performance!

Then Zhou Feng showed Luo Yang a brand new graphene wafer!

“Mr. Luo, this 12-inch wafer is entirely produced by equipment in our factory, and can be used to make graphene chips and graphene flexible memory!”

“According to the comprehensive test in the laboratory, the manufacturing level of this wafer can be said to be leading the world! And with the cost of graphene synthesis in the laboratory reduced, we can already put the wafer into large-scale production!”

12-inch graphene wafer!

Luo Yang didn’t make a move, as soon as he made it, he surpassed the Institute of Microsystems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, skipping the 8-inch graphene wafer directly, and directly reached the 12-inch level!

Unlike transistors, the smaller the process, the more powerful the transistor is, while the larger the area of ​​the wafer, the higher the manufacturing process requirements. The yield and utilization of 12-inch wafers are higher than 8-inch wafers. The same Profits are also higher!

When the current fabs are being built, most of them are willing to produce 12-inch wafers. This is the reason!

Similarly, 12-inch wafer fabs are more profitable, but the initial investment is also greater, and companies without certain financial strength cannot be built at all!

“Very good! It didn’t cost me more than 100 billion in vain!”

Luo Yang nodded in satisfaction. He spent so much time and invested more than 100 billion yuan in funds to support the graphene industry!

The total amount of investment and construction of this 12-inch graphene wafer plant alone has reached 55 billion yuan!

About 8.59 billion U.S. dollars!

As for the graphene manufacturing plant, the overall investment has reached RMB 60 billion!

About 9.375 billion US dollars!

The total investment amount of the two totaled RMB 115 billion, which can be said to be the two largest investment projects in the history of Beichen Technology!

In addition to the land price, infrastructure construction, the purchase of a complete set of equipment and production lines for wafer production, plus subsequent debugging and improvement, as well as various aspects of labor, scientific research funds, daily consumption and other expenditures, all cost money!

Some people may say that Luo Yang can completely license the synthesis process to reduce the investment in physical assets, but this does not conform to Luo Yang’s idea.

The graphene industry is a terrorist market with a market value of more than one trillion US dollars. By then, global companies and all parties will join in. As the most upstream link in the graphene industry chain, Luo Yang must be firmly committed to the graphene synthesis process. Keep it in your own hands!

At that time, Luo Yang will have the power of life and death in this industry chain!

Don’t want to get rid of him and go it alone!

In this case, investing and building a factory by yourself is a decision that must be made!

Moreover, the amount of investment of 115 billion is not excessive, because the 12-inch wafer fab jointly established by Godson International and Jingcheng has already reached 50 billion Dragon yuan in investment alone, and there are more than a dozen wafer fabs under Godson International!

As the world’s largest chip foundry, TSMC has invested in the establishment of a 12-inch wafer fab, the largest investment amount has exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars!

The physical industry is always the most expensive. As real estate, once a factory is built, it means that money is poured into it, which is difficult to cash out.

If you are not willing to spend money, the industry will never develop!

In particular, as the foundation of the chip and memory industry, wafer production cannot keep up, and the production capacity of chips and memory will be affected!

The current graphene fab is the first phase of the project. Luo Yang plans to place the second phase of the fab at the junction of Suzhou and Shencheng to further reduce the cost of land and electricity.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The current phase I graphene wafer fab will support the early supply of graphene wafers.

In the future, as other fabs of Longguo will be built one after another, only a few changes on the original equipment will be needed to produce graphene wafers!

Similarly, the most critical graphene manufacturing plant will also undergo the second and third phase expansion, and the investment amount will continue to increase by then!

However, these are all worthwhile. At present, only Beichen Technology can produce graphene on a large scale!

The money invested will be earned back soon!

Once the factory is built, as long as the production line is running, it will be a steady stream of income!

At least in the next 10 years, Luo Yang is sure not to be caught up with the progress of graphene development by others!

10 years, enough to make the future semiconductor become a super giant!

At that time, even if other forces have overcome the process of large-scale graphene synthesis, Luo Yang, who has made enough money by then, can also reduce the price of the other party to suppress the living space of the other party!

And 10 years, enough time for future semiconductors to continue to optimize and launch new synthesis processes!

This is the case in the industrial field. A technological breakthrough means that it can eat the biggest piece of cake!

After checking the progress of the graphene manufacturing plant and the wafer manufacturing plant, Luo Yang is completely relieved, and the time to officially promote graphene is ripe!

Then Luo Yang returned to Beichen Building. The headquarters building will not be able to move in until August, and there is still a month left.

After exiting the gate, head all the way to the west. On the west side of the headquarters building is a large construction site. You can already see the high-rise building under construction. This is the staff dormitory building of Beichen Technology!

The construction teams of Vandal and Lin’s Real Estate are rushing to make progress. As the first cooperation between Vandal, Lin’s Real Estate and Beichen Technology, they naturally dare not sloppy in terms of quality. Even so, Beichen Technology still dispatched different The personnel in charge of supervising the quality shall check the construction quality and material standards at any time!

After passing the staff building construction site, the car passed through a large group of villas and finally drove to the Beichen Building on the Bund!

After returning to the headquarters, Luo Yang looked at the schedule and made a decision!

“It happens to be here for the Longguo Semiconductor Alliance. The regular meeting for the first half of the year is about to be held. At that time, I will officially announce the news of the mass production of graphene. ‖!”

“The first breakthrough will be the memory industry!”

Luo Yang’s eyes are twinkling!

For the memory industry, he can be said to be coveted for a long time!

This is his last major area in the semiconductor field that needs a breakthrough!

Once the memory industry is resolved, the hardware business of Beichen Technology will no longer have any obstacles in the supply chain!

“Sansang, Hailis, Micron, Dongzhi, Sanchi, Hyundai, Infineon! These memory particle manufacturers that dominate the world, it’s time to end!”



“And is dead, it is waiting for your arrival in hell!”

A conspiracy against the global memory industry is in full swing!

On July 7, Shenkeng Hotel in Shencheng.

This five-star hotel converted from a quarry pit can be said to be a unique building in the world!

The regular meeting of the Longguo Semiconductor Alliance for the first half of the year is held here!

The reason for choosing to convene on July 7 is that this number is the day when Beichen Technology was formally established!

Since its establishment in 2019, Beichen Technology has gone through a full two years. During this period, Beichen Technology has created a series of miracles and broke countless impossible!

Over time, one after another luxury cars arrived here!

At 10 o’clock in the morning, the regular meeting was officially held in a large conference hall!

A series of heavyweight members are all present!

“.” Now the regular meeting is officially started. First of all, let’s announce a series of results achieved in the first half of the year! ”

A series of decisions made by the Dragon Semiconductor Alliance are the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the Alliance.

The Secretary-General is jointly elected by many members of the Semiconductor Alliance for a one-year term. Luo Yang will serve as the first Secretary-General. Naturally, everyone has no objections!

It’s just that Luo Yang is busy with his affairs. Most of the positions of the secretary-general of the alliance are named. In fact, the four deputy secretary-generals selected by Warwick, Loongson International, Yangtze River Memory, and Shencheng Microelectronics are responsible for handling alliance affairs. There is also one. Deputy Secretary-General in charge of financial audit supervision.

The deputy secretary-general is also elected once a year. In addition, there are industry representatives elected by different sub-sectors who exercise the power of suggestion and supervision.

Because of the interest-free loans provided by Future Semiconductor to members of the alliance, the financial supervision agency of the alliance is assigned by Future Semiconductor to audit the financial expenditure of the alliance!

The report is now Luo Yang (Li’s).

In the position of deputy secretary-general, Mr. Ren occupies a seat.

“In the past six months, Longguo Semiconductor Alliance has achieved a series of achievements!”

“First of all, we issued a total of 100 million yuan of interest-free loans to all members! At the same time, we also issued a total of 7.6 billion yuan of interest-free loans and subsidies for students in science and engineering schools across the country!”

Luo Yang disclosed a heavy figure!

Everyone in the audience also picked up the white paper report in front of them, which contained more detailed data.

“Among them, the first phase of 100 billion Longyuan interest-free loans provided by Beichen Technology have all been issued, and the 50 billion Longyuan loans invested in the second phase have also passed most of the approvals!”

“At present, Beichen Technology has launched the third phase of loan, the amount is also 50 billion Dragon Yuan, and it is expected that approval will be opened in the middle of this month!”

The billion Dragon Yuan loans that have been issued cover more than 235 members of the Longguo Semiconductor Alliance, ranging from semiconductor giants such as Warwick HiSilicon and Loongson International to small companies developing home appliance chips, all of which have been provided by Luo Yang. Loan support!

More than two hundred companies, large and small, do not need to consider the plight of scientific research funds. After the use of funds has been investigated and approved by the Semiconductor Alliance, they will be distributed on the spot!

In order to support the development of Longguo’s semiconductor industry and industrial software, Luo Yang can be said to have taken great pains! .
