Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 79 Chip Triangle Alliance

Contracting the cost of 14nm tape-out?

When he heard this sentence, Qu Cheng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Each of these ten short words is worth thousands of gold.

What is tapeout?

Tape-out is the step of producing photomasks, which are chip masks.

A chip mask requires multiple exposures, etchings, and developments to obtain the final circuit pattern.

According to the latest information released by TSMC, the chip mask for the 28nm process is about 40 layers, which means that it needs to go through 40 tape-out steps.

Each tape-out requires the entire process of exposure, etching, and development, and the cost of a single tape-out is millions!

Gao Yongming’s all-inclusive sentence is really equivalent to giving away 100 million for free, and even far exceeds this number.

Before Chen Xing could express his position, Lin Tian poured cold water on the five people present and said:”Don’t be too happy too early. Since multiple exposure technology has advantages, it also has disadvantages.””

“shortcoming?”

“What are the disadvantages?”

Gao Yongming and Tang Xinyu humbly ask for advice

Lin Tian did not hide anything, and said bluntly:”The yield rate is low and the manufacturing cost is high. These two should be the only ones. This technology is a desperate and forced move.”

“so!”

He looked at Chen Xing:”President, are we still trial-producing chips here?”

It’s not that he looks down on Loongson International, it’s because the conditions here are so backward that they can’t compare with TSMC.

When the question was raised, Chen Xing also had a hard time making a choice. The shortcomings of multiple exposure technology were indeed a fatal problem.

The yield rate is low and the manufacturing cost is high. It is impossible for Loongson International to give money, right?

If the price of a single chip is too high, he won’t be able to afford it.

Gao Yongming saw that Chen Xing was a little shaken, and suddenly became anxious, and quickly asked:”Brother Lin, what is the yield rate?”

Brothers are worthy of each other and have a closer relationship. He really wants Long Xingke to choose them.

“It should be about 80%, it mainly depends on your engineers’ skills in debugging equipment. Lin Tian responded lightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and said,”If I take action personally, hey! The yield rate should be over 95%.”

“！！！”

Gao Yongming was suddenly shocked

Qu Cheng and the two engineers were also stunned. Such a high yield rate?

The chip yield rate is 95%. Isn’t this the normal level of Loongson International’s production of 28nm chips?

Gao Yongming rubbed his hands, glanced at Chen Xing, then looked at Lin Tiandao:”Can we please invite Brother Lin?”……”

“no!”

Lin Tian refused on the spot and said calmly:”I have signed a contract with Longxing Technology. If I want to borrow something, I have to talk to my boss Chen Xing.””

The words just fell

all of a sudden

All eyes are on Chen Xing

Gao Yongming took two steps closer and did ideological work for Chen Xing:”Mr. Chen, you also heard that Brother Lin said that he can improve the chip yield rate by taking action personally.……”

A chip company CEO who is in his 60s and over 50 years old uses the word”you” as a respectful address to a young man under 30 years old. If word of this spreads, it will probably cause an industry earthquake!

and!

Gao Yongming is no ordinary boss!

He is still a university professor, just one step away from the academician selection, equivalent to a reserve academician.

Qu Cheng’s eyes flashed with emotion after witnessing this scene. He was shocked by Gao Yongming’s attitude. This was a scene he had never seen before.

Chen Xing is the first person to have such an attitude from the CEO of Loongson International.

“Mr. Gao, you don’t have to be polite. Didn’t you just say that the tape-out fee would be waived? If I lend you my employees, it will be offset.”

Chen Xing also responded with”you” to express his attitude.

After hearing what Chen Xing said, Gao Yongming’s eyes lit up and he quickly confirmed:”You…you mean you can borrow it?”

“Um”

Chen Xing nodded and smiled.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

Lending Lin Tian to Loongson International will not only ensure the supply of its own 14nm Qingzhou processors, but also help Loongson International develop and become a strong backing

loadAdv(7,3);

Just like the original 4G sanctions, if the bosses of mobile phone manufacturers work together, how can Gaotong succeed?

Gao Yongming was full of gratitude and said frankly:”To be honest, my mind is very confused now, because the idea of using multiple exposure technology to produce 14 nanometer or 7 nanometer chips makes me confused. This idea is so genius.”

“If mass production can really be achieved, Longguo’s semiconductor industry will usher in rapid development and a complete rise!”

“Mr. Qu is also here today, and he can be a witness. If 14nm processor chips are mass-produced, Loongson International will supply chips to Longxing Technology Company at a supply price of 1 yuan more than the cost price.”

Each chip only earns 1 yuan, which is equivalent to giving it away for free.

This sentence is equivalent to an alliance invitation to Chen Xing, with Loongson International responsible for chip production.

Now everyone in the industry knows that Chen Xing’s Longxing Technology Company has the ability to independently design chips.

The EDA software is produced by Longke Academy, the chip design is completed by Longxing Technology, and the chip foundry is contributed by Loongson International. This is equivalent to forming a triangular alliance.

When Gao Yongming proposed the”1 yuan chip”, he naturally had his own ideas. If he did not make money from Longxing Technology, he could make money from other companies, including foreign companies.

“Mr. Chen, think about it carefully. If the two of you reach an alliance this time, I, Qu Cheng, dare to assure you that Loongson International can advance and retreat together with Longxing Technology.”

Qu Cheng is also willing to be a witness

Gao Yongming’s character and Loongson International’s position, he still dares to come forward to vouch for it

If companies really have any problems, it is impossible for the state to approve and provide land for them in this magical city where land is at a premium.

Only those who are pure and clean deserve the support of the national chip

After a brief thought, Chen Xing also made up his mind and said:”It’s a pleasure to cooperate, I will lend you my employee.””

“Thank you Mr. Chen for your trust”

Hearing these words, Gao Yongming seemed to see the dawn coming.

Seeing the establishment of the alliance, Tang Xinyu, an engineer from Loongson International, quietly left and returned directly to the dressing room.

He took off his dust-proof suit and took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He looked excited and entered a series of numbers to call.

……

Imperial City Hospital

Inpatient department

After a series of examinations, the doctor from the nursing home walked into the ward with a pile of examination sheets and said with a smile:”Mr. Feng, your health is fine and you can go home from the hospital.””

The rosy-faced old man who was lying on the hospital bed heard the words and immediately sat up and said:”Xiaoqiang, are you right? I have been feeling weak and flustered these past few days, and my head hurts a little.”

“There is nothing wrong with the checklist. Maybe Mr. Feng is too stressed.”

The doctor responded with a smile

“What about high blood pressure?”

“Your blood pressure is normal”

“Hyperlipidemia?”

“You don’t have high blood lipids either”

“Why! Please help me write a cold and fever. I want to stay here for two more days.”

“Isn’t this bad?……”

“What is there……”

Before the old man surnamed Feng finished speaking, the ringtone of”Moonlight over the Lotus Pond” rang out from the imitation phone in his pocket.

He took out his mobile phone, pressed the answer button and said,”What’s the matter with Xiaoyu? Didn’t I tell you that I was in the imperial capital for medical treatment and recuperation?””

Tang Xinyu on the other end of the phone kept his story short and gave a complete explanation of the principles of Lin Tian’s multiple exposure technology.

next second

The volume of the old man surnamed Feng increased several times

“How many? ? ?”

“Theoretically up to seven nanometers? ? ?”

“I know, I rushed back immediately. Are you sick? What’s wrong with you? I’m fine just riding a horse! That’s it, um, hang up, I’m going to catch the plane!”
