Technological Hegemony

A subsidiary of Star Technology, the lithography machine experiment center.

Shua~

A beam of light pierced the air and appeared in front of everyone. The power controller was constantly adjusted. The beam passed through layers of lenses, and finally landed on the reciprocating triple linkage machine in the form of ultra-ultraviolet mixed laser. With the perfect angle, millions of transistors are engraved in just 0.001 seconds.

Everyone, including Luo Jia, was very excited. At the same time, Fang Yuanchu, the project leader, kept reporting the data generated by the lithography machine.

As expected by Luo Jia, the data is accurate and the progress is very smooth. Although the company has been secretly promoting the optical technology plan since the establishment of the company, the real progress of this project is only after Luo Jia fainted for the third time.

With the high-intensity transmission of the golden dome, Luo Jia obtained the elementary semiconductor technology.

The rest of the matter was relatively simple. Luo Jia mobilized the strength of the entire company and invited the Wen family brothers to gradually realize the semiconductor technology of the golden dome.

Anyone who has worked in mechanical engineering knows that blueprints are not enough. A lot of research on details and final assembly is required, and the full cooperation of the material department is needed to realize the blueprints.

For a long time, what Luo Jia got from the golden dome were books and blueprints. Through reading and thinking, Luo Jia understood the books and blueprints, and then recruited top scientific researchers and engineers like An Ran to deliver the blueprints Various realizations, thus achieving the legend of Star Technology.

This time is the same, the optics department led by Zhang Yuechuan conquered the German lens technology, the laser department of Wen Chengling conquered the fourth-generation light source technology, the newly invented ultrasonic motor endowed the machine with strong stability, and the supercapacitor in the electrical department technology to ensure that the instantaneous power of the machine is strong enough, and the software department has written a complete set of control programs required by the machine.

In short, this fourth-generation lithography machine is the two trump card departments of the company. In addition to Luo Jia, the inheritor of the extraterrestrial civilization, it took more than three years to work hard and devote countless energy to it. Simple and easy.

An Ran, who walked out of the laboratory, took off the protective glasses and still placed them on the table, grabbed the water cup and sipped.

"The test was successful. Our fourth-generation lithography machine technology is reliable. What should we do next?" An Ran asked.

Luo Jia smiled, "Of course it will be announced to the world as soon as possible. Let Star Media do it. Make more interviews, special features, and documentaries. Through the exclusive release of the lithography machine, we will strengthen our right to speak in the media."

An Ran nodded,

He said with emotion, "In this way, the technology circle is afraid that it will be fried again. Mingxiu Plank Road secretly hides Chen Cang. Who would have thought that we directly won the most shining pearl in the crown of semiconductors."

...

North America, California, Silicon Valley.

In October, a semiconductor global summit is being secretly conducted in Silicon Valley.

Although it was a global summit, there were no Huaxia companies among the participants of the conference, and the reason why Huaxia companies were excluded was because the breakthrough of Star Technology in the field of passive components made those semiconductor overlords feel the crisis one after another. .

After all, it is Xingchen Technology, a miraculous company. Since its establishment, it has never failed, and it has profoundly changed the whole world time and time again.

IBM, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, TSMC, amd, Nvidia, Applied Materials Group, too many giant-level super companies participated in the meeting, including Intel, which has been using Star Technology to modify photoresist.

"Please rest assured, Intel Corporation is the largest manufacturer in the semiconductor field and the global leader in general-purpose CPUs. Out of our own responsibilities, this time, we will join hands with you to force Xingchen Technology to give up their semiconductor plans." Before the start of the meeting, Intel's new CEO, Swan, said vowedly.

Everyone is very satisfied with Intel's statement. In fact, it is not only Intel, Star Technology's arch-rival Samsung Group, Hyundai Group, Wanwan foundry giant TSMC, storage giant Micron Group, etc. These western companies have good cooperative relations with Star Technology.

This is also where Luo Jia is cunning. He doesn't like global siege, but prefers to use technology to kidnap the whole world on his chariot.

In fact, the West has long sharpened their knives and prepared to kill Xingchen Technology, but when they wanted to do it, they found that many people refused to agree.

A giant like Intel refused to agree. A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises used Star Technology’s industrial software, which was so cool. Suddenly, Star Technology was sanctioned. There will be no free industrial software in the future, and these companies will not agree.

The world is inherently complicated. What Luo Jia did was to make it a little more complicated. No matter in North America or the European Union, it is not easy for any country in the world to sanction Xingchen Technology, because Xingchen Technology is fighting on multiple fronts. The tentacles are extended very long, and many dog ​​legs have been cultivated all over the world.

However, this time is different. Intel is determined to break with Xingchen Technology and never speak for them again.

In the past, we cooperated because Star Technology does not make semiconductors, and everyone does not violate the river water.

Now Star Technology has shown its determination to attack the semiconductor field, and the passive component war is still in full swing. Neon TDK, Murata, and Taiyo Yuden are still fighting fiercely with the China Passive Components Alliance. Electronics, even because of Luo Jia's banning order, almost went bankrupt and liquidated.

This scene was watched by Intel and Micron. After a year and a half, after Murata was killed by Xingchen Technology, they should attack wafer manufacturing again, attack Shin-Etsu Chemical, or engage in masking technology. Charge to Colin Technology?

Although semiconductors are the king of technology and have a very long industrial chain, according to Star Technology's tough style and combat effectiveness, sooner or later it will hit Intel's doorstep and compete with them for the hegemony of general-purpose CPUs.

This is absolutely unbearable for Intel, so they stood in the camp of blocking Xingchen Technology, and their attitude was very firm.

"Since Xingchen Technology stepped in, our sales of passive components have been cut in half and cut in half."

"In the high-end field, the carbon crystal capacitors of Xingchen Technology have unparalleled performance. We have been defeated and defeated steadily."

"In the mid-to-low-end field, Xingchen Technology pursues hegemony. They don't do it themselves, but they entangle a large number of Chinese companies as accomplices and launch a bloody pack of wolves against us."

"As long as a company wants to switch to manufacturing passive components, Xingchen Technology will provide a full set of technical support. Can you imagine that a company that was still producing diapers half a year ago, with the help of Xingchen Technology, has now put into production ceramic resistors! The month of production , just steal our millions of orders!"

After the meeting started, the representative of Murata Group took the lead to speak on the stage, denouncing the hegemony of Xingchen Technology, and showed all the bigwigs in the meeting that if we can't defeat Xingchen Technology, our today is your tomorrow.

How is the Murata Group today?

It can be summed up in one sentence, it's terrible!

In less than half a year, the global overlord of passive components has seen its sales halved and halved, to such an extent that even his mother can't recognize it.

Moreover, this is Murata Group, the most powerful existence in the field of passive components, and other small factories such as tdk, Taiyo Yuden, and Toppan Printing were directly beaten to the point of bankruptcy.

The tactics of the pack of wolves are too cruel. Xingchen Technology has developed technology and called domestic companies that are interested in semiconductors to help them transform and enter the semiconductor field with wider profit margins and prospects. As soon as this news came out, Huaxia companies went crazy!

Take the diaper factory that Murata complained about. They are not a small factory. Even the paper products of the famous Neon Kao Group are also manufactured by this company.

In recent years, environmental protection has become more and more stringent, and traditional enterprises such as papermaking have sought transformation. Just in time, Xingchen Technology summoned a group of wolves to expand production capacity frantically. Therefore, a technical team from Xingchen Technology entered the site, and paper diapers were transformed into a global company. A major supplier in the field of ceramic resistors has entered the high-end semiconductor field.

Transformation is not surprising, this is the urine of Huaxia enterprises, whenever there is an opportunity, they will flock to it, until the industry is completely turned into Chinese cabbage, and all the giants who originally ruled the industry are killed, Huaxia businessmen will give up.

Although the team has been pulled up, the meeting is going very slowly, because everyone believes that the main direction of Xingchen Technology is life science. The war between them and Cold Spring Harbor has already broken out, which will naturally slow down their semiconductor industry. footsteps in the field.

Moreover, the semiconductor industry is too big. No matter how strong Xingchen Technology is, it will not be able to break into the core technology area of ​​semiconductors in ten or eight years. The current passive components can only be regarded as peripheral accessories for semiconductors, and they are still far away from the real semiconductor technology. It's early.

As powerful as the Huawei Group, it took more than 20 years to cultivate a HiSilicon that engages in semiconductor design, which shows how difficult the semiconductor field is.

Anyway, let's talk about building the team first, don't rush, take your time.

In a blink of an eye, the Global Semiconductor Summit entered its third day.

It took three days, and the participating companies finally reached a consensus, and they are going to draft their intentions during the summit next month, and try to sign a cooperation blue book next month.

"In order to celebrate the successful opening of the Global Semiconductor Summit, tonight, we will hold a grand reception at the Shangri-La Hotel. Please enjoy it..."

The convener of the summit, Abraham, was giving a speech, and suddenly things went wrong. The conference room was full of voices, and people were running around, taking out their phones to make calls, or staring at the screen of their phones, as if they were thinking about life, and no one cared about the stage. Abraham.

"What...what's going on here?" Abraham asked puzzledly, "It was fine just now, why did everyone panic all of a sudden?"

"Look at your mobile phone! Something big happened, Star Technology is going to release the fourth-generation lithography machine!"

what! ?

The fourth generation lithography machine! ?

Abraham felt his head was about to explode instantly, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He hurriedly took out his phone, only to see that the text messages and mailboxes had exploded. Since he was going to speak on stage, Abraham put his phone in airplane mode. Otherwise, with the channels of the world's top elites, they would always receive the message at the first time.

"Damn it, Xingchen Technology is playing so big?"

Abraham's face was ashen. He looked up at the CEO of ASML Group, Peter Wenke, and saw that at this moment, Mr. Peter was in a daze with a confused look on his face.

Maybe he hasn't figured out the situation yet, he was leisurely eating hot pot and singing, and in a blink of an eye, his hometown was blown away?

Mr. Peter was in a daze, and he never dreamed that how could Star Technology come up and take the knife on himself?

Skip all semiconductor processes directly and engage in lithography machines?

Xingchen Technology's move is really fucking coquettish. Everyone thought they were going to engage in life sciences, but they turned back and screwed up the lithography machine.
