Chapter 447 High-End Photoresist

As for what the big move is?
The big move is that they officially announced that the American Semiconductor Alliance will cooperate to jointly develop the 45nm process technology and the next generation 32nm process technology!

As soon as this news came out, it naturally once again caused a huge sensation and heated discussion in the global media.

After all, the newly established Midea Semiconductor Alliance is actually almost equivalent to a super alliance composed of top semiconductor companies around the world.

At this time, they announced that they would work together to develop the next generation of 45 nanometer technology and the next generation of 32 nanometer technology.

This also means that in the coming time, the advancement of process technology will become faster, and Moore's Law may be broken.

After all, more people means more power. After many semiconductor companies around the world join forces, the speed of research and development will naturally accelerate.

Maybe the research and development of the next generation process technology can be completed in one and a half or even one year, which is really a good thing for global consumers.

Therefore, as soon as these news came out, they directly caused a sensation in the global media and made countless people extremely excited.

They excitedly claimed that the US Semiconductor Alliance is a great alliance, and its birth will greatly promote the development of the semiconductor industry, accelerate changes in human life, and make human life better.

In the following time, such excited remarks became almost mainstream around the world, and the same remarks were made even in Daxia.

After all, if nothing else, the American Semiconductor Alliance jointly develops the next generation process technology.

It will definitely speed up the implementation time of the next generation process technology, and ultimately allow everyone to enjoy computers or mobile phones or even game consoles with stronger performance!
Of course, the establishment of the American Semiconductor Alliance is not all welcomed and praised. Many people even hate the American Semiconductor Alliance.

Because after the establishment of the US Semiconductor Alliance, the implementation time of 45nm process technology and 32nm process technology will definitely be greatly accelerated.

Considering that Sugon Technology’s 65-nanometer chip process technology is unknown when it will be launched.

With the news that the American Semiconductor Alliance is jointly developing 45nm process technology and 32nm process technology, this will definitely widen the gap between Eastern and Western semiconductor process technology again.

Faced with this situation, how can we not worry about the future of Sugon Technology and the Daxia semiconductor industry.

But their worries have no effect. After all, they cannot stop the US Semiconductor Alliance from cooperating to develop 45-nanometer process technology and the next-generation 32-nanometer process technology.

Bad news comes one after another, and many fans of Sugon Technology are extremely depressed.

Under such circumstances, Sugon Technology's market value also quietly declined, quietly falling below the US$5000 billion mark in just one day.

However, when Sugon Technology thought that the crisis was just that, a phone call from Professor Zhang Rujing, the head of Sugon Semiconductor, brought Lin Chen and even all the senior executives of Sugon System together for a meeting.

“Currently, the island country Shin-Etsu Chemical has unilaterally interrupted the supply of our photoresist, and what’s even worse is that all companies around the world that can produce qualified photoresist refuse to supply us with photolithography machines!
According to the current photoresist reserves in the warehouse, if we cannot solve the photoresist problem within 16 days, Sugon Semiconductor will not be able to produce even one chip after 16 days. "

The speaker at this time was Professor Zhang Rujing, the head of Sugon Semiconductor.

Speaking of which, it has been almost a year since Professor Zhang Rujing joined Sugon Technology, because last year the patent infringement lawsuit that Zhongxin International and TSMC had been fighting for several years finally came to an end.

The end result was naturally the same as in the previous life. According to the compromise contract between the two parties, Zhang Rujing was forced out and left Zhongxin International after losing a sum of money.

Professor Zhang Rujing, who was eliminated, finally joined Sugon Semiconductor, which was stronger than Zhongxin International, at Lin Chen's phone invitation.So in some ways, Lin Chen is really grateful to the shareholders behind Zhongxin International and TSMC. If it weren't for them, how could Sugon Technology have a qualified chip factory leader.

On the other side, the scene that heard Professor Zhang Rujing's words instantly became furious, and the scene suddenly fell into a sea of ​​anger.

"How dare they?!"

"Are they crazy?!"

"How could this be? Damn it!"

"They actually directly stopped us from producing chips. This is such a cruel method."...

Many senior executives of the entire Shuguang system at the scene were angry and felt panic and deep anxiety.

After all, if they can't solve the problem of qualified photoresist after 16 days, they won't be able to produce a single chip by then.

Just thinking of such consequences, the senior executives at the scene only felt a chill in their backs.

However, amidst the panic and deep anxiety, Lin Chen, as the head of the entire Shuguang system, was the first to calm down. He turned to look at Ni Guangnan and asked:
"Mr. Ni, how far have we reached in developing high-end photoresist for 65nm process technology?"

After hearing this, Ni Guangnan thought for a moment, and then slowly replied:
“We have actually completed the research and development of the high-end photoresist formula used in the 65-nanometer process technology. Now the problem we encounter is how to mass-produce high-end photoresist.

This problem was not originally a problem, because we have completed the construction of the photoresist factory building and are waiting for the photoresist production machines shipped from abroad to be installed and put into trial production.

However, since the establishment of the US Semiconductor Alliance, the island nation's Fuji Company, which sells production machines, has directly refused to cooperate with us.

Therefore, many of the photoresist production machines we purchased were directly stuck in the customs of the island country and were said to be sent back to Fujifilm.

Although the photoresist production machines sold by the Japanese company Fuji are not machines that cannot be independently developed and replaced, otherwise we would not be able to purchase them.

But we have to admit that it does take some time to bypass their technical patent barriers and develop photoresist production machines of the same level.

So if nothing else happens, we may not be able to solve the photoresist problem this year.

Even if we are now fully committed to developing photoresist production machines, it will be early next year at the earliest. "

"How could this be?"

"Damn it! That US Semiconductor Alliance is so abominable!"

“Damn it, if you can’t beat us, you’re going to resort to these despicable means. Does the American Semiconductor Alliance have any backbone?

Don't they dare to fight us hand-to-hand, but only do these dirty tricks behind our backs? ! "

"What should we do next? It will be early next year at the earliest before we have photoresist to produce chips. Do we really have to accept our fate?"
