Daguo Science and Technology started from the copycat system

And the fact is the same. At this time, Zhongxin International was rated as the fourth largest chip foundry in the world by the technology media.

It is the fourth largest chip foundry after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., UMC, and Singapore Chartered Semiconductor.

But this refers to the scale and production capacity of their chip foundry. At this time, Zhongxin International's chip foundry capacity cannot be fully filled at all, and there are a large number of production lines that are idle.

According to history, they can achieve a turnover of 360 million US dollars this year, of which the bulk of the contribution is obtained by selling 8-inch wafers.

According to the history of the previous life, the great improvement of their chip foundry business will have to wait until next year, because next year will rely on the boom of the chip foundry business.

Their turnover in 2004 was close to 1 billion US dollars, which is considered to be an official start, and it has truly become the fourth largest chip foundry in the world.

Of course, the operating income of TSMC stores in the same period soared from US$5.85 billion in 2003 to US$8 billion!

TSMC is still an unclimbable peak shrouded in the global chip foundry industry, and it stands out from the crowd.

And the scariest thing is that TSMC’s growth rate in the next few years will be even more terrifying. At the peak, the market share was as high as 60%.

According to history, they won half of the world's chip foundry orders in 2004 alone, which means that half of the world's chips are produced by TSMC!

Therefore, TSMC is quite terrifying in the chip foundry industry, and it is a super peak that global chip manufacturers can only look up to and cannot compare with.

Although Sugon Technology has the system BUFF blessing that makes the chip physique superb, it is not easy to defeat TSMC or even compete with TSMC.

Moreover, the small ones have come and the old ones have come. What is more terrifying than the TSMC store is the Wassona agreement!

After defeating the TSMC store, what greeted Suguang Technology was a more severe suppression, which was even more brutal than that of Huawei Technology in the previous life!

Faced with this situation, Sugon Technology has no chance of getting lucky. It has to invest a lot of money in research and development of its own core high-end chip production equipment.

You can't put your own life on the kindness of others, and the enemy is not kind but rather cruel. Suguang Technology has no chance of getting lucky!

Of course, these are things in the future, and this is the most glorious moment since Sugon Technology was engaged in the chip foundry industry.

Sugon Technology surpassed Zhongxin International in one fell swoop with an expected chip foundry order of US$1.124 billion in the coming year, becoming the number one chip foundry in China and the fourth largest chip foundry in the world.

Although there is still a long way to go to TSMC, which has a turnover of US$5.85 billion this year, not to mention competing with TSMC, even Singapore Chartered Semiconductor, which is the third in the world, cannot compare.

However, after Sugon Technology won the foundry order of up to 1.124 billion US dollars in the next year, the world also saw the potential of Sugon Technology in the chip foundry industry.

In this case, Sugon Technology is also taking advantage of the situation to seize the opportunity.

At present, Sugon Technology is negotiating loan matters with the four major banks in Daxia, and plans to use the Sugon chip factory as a mortgage loan to build a new chip factory.

The planned new chip factory is divided into two 8-inch fabs and a 12-inch fab and supporting chip production lines.

Among them, the 8-inch fab is easy to say, but it is a little difficult to purchase the production equipment of the 12-inch fab.

After all, the production equipment of the 12-inch fab is quite advanced in the current era. In order to purchase the production equipment of the 12-inch fab, Zhang Rujing used his old contacts for many years and made various promises.

For example, the advanced equipment of the 12-inch fab is only purchased under conditions such as absolutely not producing military-owned chips, and absolutely not being involved with the Great Xia Army.

At this time, it is not easy for Sugon Technology to purchase equipment for the 12-inch fab, and Sugon Technology needs to do a lot of tricks, and the probability of failure is very high.

However, it depends on human effort. Although we know that the chance of success is not high, we still have to try to fight for it. If we can’t face difficulties, we will shrink back. Sugon Technology will try our best to make it own a 12-inch fab.

Of course, if it fails, Sugon Technology will abandon the 12-inch fab and purchase an 8-inch fab instead.

So at that time, Sugon Technology will have 3 new 8-inch fabs, one old fab, and a total of 4 8-inch fabs.

As for the process technology, Sugon Technology's new chip factory will directly abandon the 350nm process technology.

At that time, the minimum process technology will be 180 nanometers, and then 150 nanometers and 130 nanometers process technology will be adopted on a large scale.

As for the world's most advanced 90-nanometer process technology why not? Sugon Technology really wants it, and not only Sugon Technology wants a chip production line with a 90-nanometer process technology.

Zhongxin International also wants to purchase a chip production line with a 90nm process technology, but what can you do if they don't sell it?

And to be honest, it is actually a little difficult for Sugon Technology to purchase a chip production line with a 130-nanometer process technology, and it takes a lot of effort.

And this is also the sadness of not being able to produce advanced semiconductor production equipment, but these are things in the future.

Sugon Technology is currently doomed to have no strength to solve the problem of developing self-produced semiconductor production equipment.

Therefore, the current task of Sugon Technology is to develop itself well, and spend money to invest in research and development while ensuring its survival.

However, in the short term, the task of Sugon Technology is to negotiate with the bank first to see how much it can borrow, and the best case can be more than 30 billion.

According to Linchen's three fabs, there are multiple huge new factory plans supporting 180nm, 150nm, and 130nm production lines.

If all construction needs to be completed, Sugon Technology may need more than 30 billion to be safe.

But fortunately, the construction of a new chip factory does not have to be so big in one step, it can be built step by step and divided into three phases.

Therefore, if the loan can reach 10 billion, it will be enough for the construction of the new factory in the first phase. As for the second fab in the second phase and the third fab in the third phase, they can be gradually expanded.

Of course, the best thing is to be able to do it in one step, which can save a lot of things and make money.

In the current situation that Sugon Technology received the chip foundry order softly, and finally had to stop taking the chip foundry order because of the upper limit of production capacity.

If it can be done in one step, Sugon Technology will start construction of a total of 4 fabs and multiple production lines of 350nm, 180nm, 150nm, and 130nm.

The money that Suguang Technology can earn from the chip foundry field alone may have been several times the money that can be earned from the mobile phone field.

Only in this way can we really spend a lot of money to develop our own semiconductor production equipment, to develop advanced production equipment for semiconductor chip production such as lithography machines, etching machines, and chemical deposition equipment. (end of this chapter)
