Chapter 73: Choosing a chip foundry is not a fight

After receiving the WeChat message from Gao Zhengqian, Chen Xing rushed to SEG Technology Park without any hesitation.

14 nanometers!

That’s a 14nm chip!

If Longxing Technology is really allowed to take the lead in production and application, the high-end flagship at the end of the year will be an unprecedented shock.

Korean M series screen, Carl Zeiss lens, 200W Star Flash fast charge, Kaitian baseband chip, 14nm Qingzhou processor, these five are enough to become selling points individually, but Chen Xing wants to integrate them into a mobile phone, who can Can you imagine?

With excitement, Chen Xing came to SEG Technology Park and went straight to his chip laboratory without stopping.

“drop——”

Refresh access control

Gao Zhengqian, Bai Yan, and academicians have been waiting for a long time

“President!”

“President!”

“President!”

Everyone is waiting for Chen Xing to choose the foundry to carry out this last step and the most critical trial production.

Chen Xing nodded slightly, bowed to the scientific researchers and said,”Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I didn’t expect that the Qingzhou chip would be designed in less than three months. The rapid development of Longxing Technology cannot be achieved without everyone’s efforts.” ,Thank you so much!”

“What should be done”

Gao Zhengqian responded with a smile

Bai Yan also smiled, made a cross with his two index fingers and said:”Ten-core microarchitecture, this is ten cores! President, its performance may exceed your imagination, and its power consumption is only 18W, which is higher than Snapdragon The 810 processor is 2W lower!”

The word pride is written all over his face!

With two big bags under his eyes, the sixty-five-year-old Qu Cheng looked at Chen Xing and suggested,”Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled. The EDA simulation verification of the light boat has been passed. The next step is trial production.””

“That’s right!”

Wang Jirong nodded and suggested to Chen Xing:”President, I have a heartfelt request. Can Qingzhou Chip be OEMed by Loongson International? I happen to have a few juniors inside, so I can let them practice their skills.”

“Put pressure on them”

“I think it works. The production techniques of those guys are quite good.”

“I heard that they bought another photolithography machine. I forgot the number of nanometers, but it should be possible to produce 14nm chips.”

Other academicians are echoing

Without the help of this group of academicians, the Qingzhou chip would not have been designed so quickly. Chen Xing would naturally respect their ideas.

but!

He also has his own ideas

“Dear seniors, I said at the press conference in June that I would launch a new flagship by the end of the year. During this time, I have been preparing the components of the new flagship phone. At present, time is running out.”

“I want to play it safe”

Just when the academicians thought Chen Xing was going to refuse, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject and said:

“But it is not impossible to find Loongson International as an OEM. I have a friend here who is engaged in photolithography. He has to participate in the production.”

Lin Tian, the second red quality talent, Chen Xingke still remembers that one of the technologies he is proficient in is chip manufacturing technology. Hand-made photolithography machines are not good, so making a 14-nanometer processor chip shouldn’t be a problem, right?

As for TSMC?

The DSP multi-core architecture of the baseband chip confused them last time. Now, is it a ten-core micro-architecture or a 14-nanometer chip? They have to hold a meeting for half a month to discuss it?

Not safe!

He chose to believe in Lin Tian and the system’s judgment on the quality of talents!

Of course, if TSMC releases the core area of the lithography machine and lets Chen Xing take Lin Tian in for debugging, then they can also be chosen, but is it possible?

Not to mention the lithography machine area, it is impossible for outsiders to visit and operate the equipment in any core area.

“Mr. Chen also knows lithography talents?”

Wang Jirong said puzzledly

He can count the lithography talents in Long Kingdom with his eyes closed.

Qu Cheng was also a little confused. He looked at Chen Xing and asked,”What’s the name of that lithography talent? Is he an academician?””

“no”

Chen Xing shook his head and said Lin Tian information:”He is a Chinese and worked for ASML in the Netherlands for a period of time.”

“!!!”

“Have you ever worked with ASML?!!”

The expressions of the academicians changed!

What kind of genius can actually join the Dutch ASML company?

It is not easy to know this company. Their assembly and integration technology, power supply system, and transmission system are the key to the production of lithography machines for processes below 20 nanometers.

It’s no exaggeration to say

There are two types of lithography machines in the world

One is produced by ASML company

One is the other

loadAdv(7,3);

How awesome is a talent who has worked here?

At the same time, Qu Cheng also wondered, does Chen Xing have such a wide network of contacts?

In the past, there were two top chip design talents, Gao Zhengqian and Bai Yan. Now they are familiar with lithography and have studied at ASML Company in the Netherlands. This network is a hundred times more terrifying than their academicians!

“How about it?”

Chen Xing looked at the academicians

If you let Lin Tian run the trial production, it will be more secure than entrusting TSMC to do the trial production.

“Mr. Chen, wait a minute. I’ll make a call and ask. As you know, chip production is related to photolithography machines.”

Wang Jirong took out his mobile phone and said

Qu Cheng also fumbled for his cell phone, looked through the address book list and said,”I’m also going to call a friend. The trial production of 14 nanometer chips must be done for you.””

“I’ll make a call first too”

“I’ll fight too”

“I’ll also call some people over”

The academicians took out their mobile phones one after another and called their friends in the lithography field.

Chen Xing chose to accept their proposal and hand over the trial production of Qingzhou chips to Loongson International. This is equivalent to trusting their vision.

The 14nm chip is of great importance, so it makes sense for them to recruit some people, right?

the other side

Northern University

School of Semiconductor Materials

Vice Dean Ma Yutang was still teaching. When he saw the call from Qu Cheng, he immediately came to the classroom door to answer:

“How are you doing, Mr. Qu?”

“What?”

“I can’t get through to Academician Yang. It’s Mr. Qu who has gone abroad to attend lectures. I need to send an email to contact him.”

“What? Do you need photolithography talents?”

“Do you want him to come back immediately?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it right away, I’ll do it now!”

Ma Yutang hung up the phone, returned to the classroom podium and said:”Students, the teacher has something to do. You can review a lesson first, or you can go back to the dormitory.”

After saying these words, he packed up his things and ran to the teacher’s dormitory. He didn’t dare to neglect Qu Cheng’s entrustment.

Although he is a professor, compared with academicians, it is like the stars competing for the brightness of the bright moon. There is no comparison at all.

at the same time

Magic City

Loongson International Corporation

CEO’s office

Gao Yongming broke out in sweat on his forehead and kept answering questions:”Yes! I bought a 20nm process photolithography machine. It should also be used to produce 14nm chips, but the yield rate cannot be guaranteed.”

“ah?”

“Lend to private enterprises…”

“Ah…this…”

When he hesitated, the voices of several other academicians also came from the phone, leaving Gao Yongming completely confused.

Wang Jirong!

Wang Dezhi!

……

Nick Cheung!

academician!

A room full of academicians vouch for it!

What kind of company is Longxing Technology?

What shocked him most was that Qu Cheng, an academician of both academies and the dean of the School of Integrated Circuits at Beijing University, was actually present and used his reputation to vouch for it.

What can be done?

Can you refuse this?

Jianghu is not just about fighting and killing…
