Chapter 173

: Self-developed chips and lithography machines

“What did you say? Lithography machine?”

Mr. Hu looked at the Zhou clan in shock.

Good guy, this guy is so brave, he actually wants to develop his own lithography machine?

The Zhou clan saw his expression clearly, nodded seriously, and said,

“Yes, the chips we developed ourselves cannot be produced using photolithography machines on the market, and

those that can be produced are prohibited from being sold to us. This kind of existence Decades of disgusting practices should have been eliminated long ago.

In this case, we must break these rules ourselves.

Back then, we were able to drive away the invaders with millet and rifles and establish our country.

Now we can also rely on ourselves to overcome the impossible. Things become reasonable.”

Hearing this.

Hu Lao was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter and patted Zhou Clan on the shoulder hard,

“Haha, good boy, it’s exactly what Lao Qian said. Not only is he extremely courageous, but he also has a bad temper. You’re

right. , Why should they set the rules? We have so many talented people in the Dragon Kingdom, damn the sanctions!”

Mr. Hu laughed heartily. He hadn’t met such an interesting young man in a long time.

He really doesn’t like the behavior of some people nowadays.

They say that if others are unkind, we must not be unjust. We must have the demeanor of a big country, respect etiquette, and return foreign friends?

But pull it down, people have never regarded us as friends. To put it mildly, we just treat us as fat sheep and work hard.

He felt that this so-called etiquette passed down from the Tang Dynasty was very bad. If you pay tribute for one point and give a compliment, you can get ten times the reward.

They are obedient to the outside world and strike hard at home.

And he admires the Zhou clan’s approach, restricting my products? That’s okay, I’m not willing to sell it yet!

Sanction my parts? Okay, I will do my own research, no one is afraid of who.

What is a young man if he is not young and vigorous?

“Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

Mr. Hu pushed Zhou Clan’s shoulders and said impatiently.

The Zhou clan followed the trend, entered the elevator, and pressed the fifth floor button.

When the elevator door opens, what comes into view is a sealed wall with changing rooms on the left and right.

The lithography machine must be in a constant temperature, dust-free space.

When changing clothes.

Hu Laojiang expressed the doubts in his mind.

“The Zhou clan, now they have a monopoly on lithography machine technology. If

we want to circumvent it, it is not easy to do so, unless it is the newly proposed electron beam lithography machine.”

“Sure enough, ginger is still hot. Yes, Mr. Hu, I am planning to start with the EBL lithography machine so as to overtake in corners.” The

Zhou clan gave Mr. Hu a thumbs up. When the Zhou clan crossed over in the previous life, the electron beam lithography machine had already passed the certification. ,

was once considered to be expected to replace EUV lithography machine technology, and even shake the status of optical lenses in the field of chip manufacturing.

But here, this point of view has just been put forward, which gives the Zhou family a lot of room for maneuver.

Enter via a dedicated channel.

There are much fewer people here than on the fourth floor. There are only more than thirty people, which is far from enough.

The fundamental reason for this situation is that it is difficult to recruit people.

Even though the Zhou clan had offered a high price, most of the news they sent out came to nothing.

Some of the responses were that they felt that they were not capable enough and needed to continue their studies, while on the other hand, they went abroad in a blink of an eye and joined the arms of the lithography giant.

Some are still waiting and watching, after all, many chip companies have collapsed.

This also made the Zhou clan feel helpless.

“Hey, Zhou Clan, why does this look so much like an ion implanter?”

Mr. Hu observed the surrounding layout while walking.

Although it is still very crude, each area has been divided and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, he saw a device that had not yet been assembled, but had already begun to take shape.

The positive ring, the ion source, and a magnetic analyzer are connected below.

He was sure that this was the ion implanter, one of the four core equipment for semiconductor wafer production.

“Yes, this is an ion implanter. It has four core equipment: ion implanter, photolithography machine, etching machine and coating machine. I am going to develop all of them myself.” The

Zhou family came to the ion implanter and answered Mr. Hu inquiry.

Technical blockade was their usual tactic. Instead of being disgusted by it, the Zhou clan simply started researching it themselves from scratch.

Anyway, when this technology was drawn,

its related equipment was all matching, and the equipment drawings and technical processes had been copied by the Zhou clan using brain computers.

“When will the assembly be completed?”

Mr. Hu walked around the equipment and found that its accelerator and decelerator, focusing scanning system and process chamber were still empty.

Hearing this, the Zhou clan gave a wry smile,

“There is no way to proceed to the next step at the moment. We need to find a parts supplier. If

we can’t find a suitable one within a week, we can only produce it ourselves. But in this way, it will cost a lot of money.” It will take more time.”

There are almost no domestic manufacturers producing these parts. They are not specialized in producing this kind of parts.

They need to add additional production lines. This huge cost stops them all.

Mr. Hu was silent. He had no access to spare parts and could not provide help.

Most ion implanters rely on imports, and no one buys domestic parts, which leads to a bad cycle.

However, the Zhou clan has already figured this out. If it doesn’t work, they can produce it themselves. No matter what, they must have a production workshop.

For example, the current high-end photolithography machine has as many as 100,000 internal parts, and the parts come from more than 5,000 suppliers around the world.

Once they join forces and give you a game, this part will get stuck, and that part will get stuck, and the day when the self-developed photolithography machine will be completed will be far away.

Fortunately, the EBA lithography machine has a relatively simple structure, and the parts are not as complex as the EUV lithography machine.

Using fewer parts to produce products with similar or even better functions is an advantage.

No matter what, the beginning is difficult.

The same is true for the development of photolithography machines, but by the time it is formed, the chip rules led by American will be shattered.

The rules of future chips will be determined by him!

“Come on.”

Mr. Hu patted Zhou Clan on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

“Hehe, of course, this little difficulty can’t defeat me.”

The Zhou clan grinned.

Afterwards, several people walked around the laboratory for a long time, and the Zhou clan informed him of the corresponding information without any reservation.

Mr. Hu has already stated that he wants to stay.

At noon, after the Zhou clan arranged a place for Mr. Hu, they originally wanted him to rest first, but the old man couldn’t help but

join in the research on the chip.

He said that after reading the information provided by the Zhou clan, his mind felt more and more active.

In this regard, the Zhou clan did not stop him and let him go.

The Zhou family estimates that it will take a year to complete this project, and it may be longer.

But it’s also good news, isn’t it?

But the news that Mr. Hu joined Dora Technology still spread.

[Let me go, it turns out that Boss Zhou is here for real. ]

[Oh, I seem to see Asmai and the others starting to panic. ]

[Haha, just tell the truth. 】

【Mr. Liu, what do you think, Mr. Zhou? Boss Zhou is a very inexperienced man and has not listened to your teachings. ]

[You guys understand yin and yang, haha. ]

[Tch, don’t be too happy yet. You see, Dora Technology is so high-profile, I’m afraid domestic companies will be affected again. 】

【You are really interesting, you are talking as if if we don’t study Dora Technology, others will give us preferential treatment. ]

[That is, only we people from the Dragon Kingdom can use the term foreign friends in this way, and they do not have this weird concept. ]

[Boss Zhou, please go to the link, I will cheer for you, hehe. 】
