The rise of nanometers

December 9th.

CEOs of semiconductor-related companies and researchers from scientific research institutions who could come from China all came to Shanmei City.

Including Zhang Rujing, who was previously fired by SMIC, also appeared here.

The entire Shanmei City area became lively.

Suiren Company's headquarters venue has temporarily opened some conference rooms for companies and scientific research institutions participating in the seminar to hold meetings or discuss semiconductor technology.

Huawei, which is close to the water, transferred hundreds of semiconductor researchers from Pengcheng, as well as the company's strategic research and judgment team, all came to Shanmei overnight.

Today's seminar continues yesterday's topic.

Huang Xiuyuan, Lu Xuedong, Zhang Jingjian, Zhang Weixin and others represented Suiren Company and conducted industrial discussions with various companies.

Judging from the current situation, Dragon Totem and Suiren Materials are basically responsible for the two major links of semiconductor equipment and semiconductor materials.

As for the semiconductor manufacturing process, it is definitely impossible to be eaten by the Long Toteng family. First of all, this market share is very huge. China's local market alone is enough to support many companies.

Secondly, not only are people jealous of those who work alone, but they are also prone to being targeted by anti-monopoly companies. In addition, other electrical and electronic equipment companies also have to worry about being controlled by Suiren Company.

Therefore, in the chip manufacturing aspect, in addition to Dragon Totem, Huawei plans to establish its own chip manufacturing subsidiary. Unisplendour Group also intends to explore the chip manufacturing field, plus SMIC, which is already in the chip manufacturing field.

It is estimated that 4 to 6 chip manufacturing companies will be formed in China.

It's just that the CEO of Datang Group is having a huge headache at this time, because in Datang Group's industrial sector, they plan to control SMIC and develop into China's leading chip manufacturing company.

However, SMIC's internal shares are very complicated. Datang Group currently holds 16.57% of the shares, Modu Industrial holds 10.09%, and TSMC holds 10%.

In addition, there are foreign-funded Goldman Sachs, Motorola, Vertex Investment, and Deutsche Management Fund, and Taiwan-funded Handing Asia Pacific and Yongwei Investment.

Finally, there are the shareholdings of founders such as Zhang Rujing and Jiang Shangzhou.

Although Datang Group is currently the largest shareholder of SMIC, the problem is that it holds 16.57% of the shares. Even with the addition of Modu Industrial, which is also a state-owned company, it only reaches 26.66%, which is not a controlling proportion at all.

The Taiwanese faction and foreign capital certainly do not want to see Datang Group control SMIC.

Now Datang Group is in a dilemma. If it continues to seize SMIC, foreign capital and Taiwanese capital will definitely not let go easily.

If you choose to start a new business, you can avoid the internal friction of fighting for control of SMIC.

Naturally, this matter cannot be decided in a short while.

Another domestic communications equipment giant, ZTE, is also ready to move. It seems to be thinking about getting involved in chip manufacturing and improving its own industrial chain.

There are so many companies eyeing one chip manufacturing link, and each company is showing off its talents in the remaining chip design, chip packaging and testing, and complete machine design.

Perhaps the more depressed companies are semiconductor equipment manufacturers such as Northern Huachuang and China Microelectronics, because they found themselves beaten by Suiren Company.

The conference room on the third floor of Suiren Company Headquarters.

More than a dozen semiconductor equipment manufacturers, including China Microelectronics, Northern Huachuang, and Modu Microelectronics, were invited here to discuss the future.

The person in charge of this negotiation is Zhang Weixin.

"Everyone, let's get straight to the point! Nowadays, photolithography machines and etching machines are basically useless in the new process. Our company doesn't want to kill them all. There are two options now. One is for you to find your own way out, and the other is Join the Precision Instrument Alliance.”

Li Mingcheng, general manager of Modu Microelectronics, read the Long Totem Company's plan.

The so-called precision instrument alliance is a group of companies specializing in the production of precision instruments. They unite together to share technology through patent authorization and form a comprehensive industrial chain.

For example, photolithography machine technology has lost its application in chip manufacturing with new processes.

But the lithography machine itself is a large system. A lithography machine contains more than 200 sensors and 13 subsystems, integrating optical lenses, deep ultraviolet lasers, automatic alignment systems, balance systems, overall control systems, and top-level Servo motors, etc.

These technologies will not be completely useless just because the photolithography machine is no longer useful. After reintegration, they can be applied to other precision instruments.

Due to the technological explosion of Suiren Technology, the ban on the sale of precision instruments to China in the West has been broadened, and inspections have also become stricter.

Recently, in the dozen or so laboratories that CCIC is responsible for building, top precision instruments have not been available. The reason is that the manufacturers of these top precision instruments were warned by the big capital giants behind them.

Although Huang Xiuyuan started independent research and development of precision instruments when he established Snail Industry, the research and development of precision instruments requires time and accumulation.

Even if through mergers and acquisitions, the annexation and reorganization of more than a dozen related domestic small companies have accelerated the development of precision instruments in Snail Industry, it can still only produce mid-to-low-end products.

After this promotion of nanowire semiconductor technology, domestic semiconductor equipment manufacturers will definitely be severely affected.

Huang Xiuyuan saw an opportunity, so he ordered Zhang Weixin to interview companies such as Northern Huachuang, China Microelectronics, and Modu Microelectronics. By forming a precision instrument alliance, he would integrate and support these companies and create a domestic precision instrument industry chain.

Li Mingcheng asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, is the framework of the Precision Instrument Alliance too strict?"

"Everyone, is there a free lunch in the world? Our company has provided funds, market and technology to ensure the healthy development of the Precision Instrument Alliance." Zhang Weixin said unceremoniously.

All semiconductor equipment manufacturers suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although Long Toteng does not pursue controlling interests in the Precision Instrument Alliance, the corresponding management system and supervision are still very necessary.

Long Totem introduced the model of Locust Ant Company, hoping to reduce unnecessary problems in the process of integrating these enterprises.

After weighing the pros and cons, various semiconductor equipment manufacturers initially agreed to the conditions.

After joining the Precision Instrument Alliance, the advantage is that you can enjoy the shade against a big tree. The dragon totem and the Suiren family behind it will not only provide funds, technology and management, but also arrange orders and organize special scientific research projects.

Although it will be semi-controlled by Dragon Totem Company, according to the basic law of the alliance, in order to dispel the concerns of these companies, Dragon Totem Company promises not to take the initiative to ask for control unless the equity owners of these companies are willing to sell to Dragon Totem Company.

In addition to the semiconductor equipment industry, domestic semiconductor materials have basically been wiped out.

Therefore, Suiren Materials, another subsidiary of the Suiren Department, came forward to establish a materials alliance to manage these half-dead semiconductor material companies and develop various new materials.

With the initial establishment of the Precision Instrument Alliance and the Materials Alliance, Suiren Company has stabilized the upstream semiconductor-related companies.

The next step is the big problem, because chip manufacturing, chip design, and the entire system have all become issues for discussion.

Although the influence of the Suiren system is very large, this matter does require the joint efforts of all enterprises, otherwise it will be difficult to build this ecosystem.
