Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

The next morning, Shanghai Convention Center.

The red flag outside is fluttering and buzzing in the blue sky!
The 3000-square-meter multimedia hall can accommodate up to more than 1600 people. It is shining and crowded at this time.

Sitting in the back rows were media representatives from mainstream science and technology journals and business magazines, as well as the best circuit engineers, materials scientists and optical researchers in the semiconductor industry. Almost half of the chip engineers with P4 rank and above from the three major R&D centers of Shanhai Microelectronics came. .

Wu Maozhe, Xie Shengdong, Ye Youcheng, Noyce, Liang Kaiji and others all looked excited and sat in their seats waiting for the press conference to start.

The middle area is the partners and customers of Shanhai Microelectronics, including the heads of more than a dozen companies such as Haotong, Apple, Huayao, and Zhongxin, as well as the CEOs of Huaxin International, Jinling Hi-Tech, and Ouda Heat Treatment.

Several big guys from Shanghai were sitting in the front two rows. Mr. Qin and Zhou An were sitting on the chairs, and the people around them were talking loudly. Unlike the reporters, they had already known the content of the press conference. Under their calm appearance, there was something hidden. A turbulent heart.

What makes people wonder is that no one has taken a seat in the center of the first row.

Even Mr. Qin can only sit on the edge of the first row, so who are these seats reserved for?
For a time, everyone couldn't help but raise their expectations. The layout of this press conference seemed to be very high!
Suddenly, a black car slowly stopped at the door of the hall, and out came a trembling old man with silver hair and loose gray-brown spots on his face.

Every step I took felt extremely strenuous, and I was at least over 80 years old, looking very old.

Wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, meticulously ironed, He Tingbo, CEO of Shanhai Microelectronics, immediately ran over to the old man after seeing him for the first time, supported him, and politely greeted him: "Teacher, you are here."

"Classmate Xiao He, I can still walk, let me do it by myself."

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand and lectured with a straight face.

The powerful woman in charge of the trillion-dollar chip empire was like a primary school student at the moment, nodding her head in agreement and obediently stepping aside to look after her mentor.

"Hey! Who is this person? What a big arrogant person!"

"Mr. He didn't grovel like this when he greeted Mr. Qin just now, right?"

"Is he a big shot from Yancheng? It doesn't look like it!"

"I remember! Shanhai Microelectronics actually invited this big guy here, my God!"

The audience in the middle and back rows were whispering, and some top engineers in the industry subconsciously stood up and looked at the teacher.

In the past, they could only see this old man in textbooks, papers and documents.

"Mr. Xu, the legacy has been passed down from generation to generation, and China's semiconductor road has finally continued."

Mr. Qin actually stood up on his own initiative at this time, performed a student salute, and said with a warm smile.

"Okay, okay, then I'll take a good look."

Mr. Xu raised his right hand and patted Mr. Qin on the shoulder, as always, as if he had returned to 30 years ago in an instant, when one of them was a doctoral supervisor at Huaqing University, and the other was a young graduate student majoring in electrical engineering.

Mr. Qin helped Mr. Xu to the first row and sat down. After a few words of greeting, he sat back down in his seat.

"Boss, who is that?"

Zhou An couldn't help but asked curiously.

Based on his understanding of Mr. Qin's character, he would not adopt such a posture even if Mr. Meng was in front of him.

"It's normal for you to be a liberal arts student and not understand me. This is my teacher when I was studying, Mr. Xu Duanyi Xu."

Mr. Qin smiled slightly and explained briefly.

Xu Duanyi?
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he was the chief engineer of China's first step-by-step projection lithography machine, and the optimist of domestic lithography machines at that time.

Thirty years ago, relying on his own efforts to promote the production and manufacturing of self-developed photolithography machines, some countries were forced to lift their restrictions on semiconductor equipment and photoresist materials.

Because it is meaningless to continue like this. It will only make China catch up and close the gap with the Western world.

In order to suppress the projection lithography machine developed by Xu Duanyi's team, overseas semiconductor companies have resorted to a big move. As long as they purchase their imported lithography equipment, they can get the opportunity to go abroad for "exchange and learning" and bear all the round-trip air tickets. Hotel accommodation and travel expenses.

You know, this was in 1991. Which entrepreneur didn’t want to go abroad to meet the market and open a foreign restaurant?

Under this circumstance, domestic projection lithography machines soon lost their living space, and many years of hard work were in vain. China's semiconductor industry chose to commit suicide and completely gave up the research and development and manufacturing of lithography machines.

This break is 30 years!
Xu Duanyi gradually became gray-haired and waning from an energetic middle-aged man. He was about to step into the coffin with one foot, but he did not expect that the younger generation would give him a big surprise.

Shanhai Microelectronics has overcome all obstacles and led the semiconductor industry in Greater China to reach the top!

"My way is not alone, my way is not alone!"

Xu Duanyi's eyes fell completely on the red silk of the stage. His eyes were filled with tears and his mouth was filled with a happy smile.

In front of the conference center.

Chen Heyu, wearing a neat suit, joked at Lei Jun: "What? Do you want the next generation of rice products to be equipped with the Shanhai M-5 chip?"

"Boss, that's for sure. As for the price, can it be cheaper?"

Lei Jun said with a grin.

"We are all one of our own, can I still kill you?"

Chen Heyu asked back.

"I'm just afraid that the boss will become ruthless and kill me, Lao Lei."

Rebus joked.

At this moment, a low-key and restrained black car turned and drove towards them, escorted by off-road vehicles at the front, rear and left. As the window was lowered, a familiar face appeared in front of the two of them.

"What are you two doing here?"

Mr. Meng asked calmly.

"Of course I'm waiting for you to come over and support Shanhai Microelectronics."

Chen Heyu replied with a smile, looking carefree.

Although he was not afraid at all that the Commerce Department of Beautiful Country wanted to kill him, but with Mr. Meng's support, he could naturally sit back and relax.

"You! You really have some nature as a clay monkey."

Mr. Meng laughed, waved his hand, and asked the driver to continue driving inside.

"Mr. Lei, this battle is about to begin!"

Chen Heyu said meaningfully, then waved and led Lei Jun straight to the conference hall.

When he walked into the hall with Mr. Meng, the noise in the room immediately disappeared, and everyone looked at Mr. Meng with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Mr. Meng? He actually came to attend a private company's new product launch conference?"

"I'll go! What did Shanhai Microelectronics do? It attracted Mr. Meng here!"

"Unprecedented and unprecedented, Shanhai Micro-Electronics is awesome!"

The reporters in the audience didn't even discuss the matter. They only dared to sigh silently in their hearts. Their minds were a little dizzy and they forgot about the action of pressing the shutter.

Chen Heyu led Mr. Meng to the first row and sat down, then turned to Xu Duanyi with a smile and greeted softly: "Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Young man, you are much better than me. I made a mistake back then and ignored the value of commercialization and promotion, so I lost everything.

I heard Xiao He mention that your achievements in the commercial field are far greater than the scientific research field, so I can leave with peace of mind. China has mountains and seas, and we can also touch this pearl in the crown of industry. "

Xu Duanyi raised his eyelids and braced himself. "Excuse me, Mr. Xu. Mr. He is your student and can be regarded as inheriting your mantle."

Chen Heyu said with a faint smile.

Xu Duanyi shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he saw He Tingbo, wearing a light gray suit, walking onto the stage calmly and calmly.

Facing the dark crowd of participants in the audience, especially the important guests in the first row, she, who had been through many storms, couldn't help but feel a little timid and panicked.

It wasn't until her eyes met Chen Heyu's that she calmed down.

The boss crossed his legs and looked relaxed and contented, as if the upcoming press conference was just an ordinary meeting.

She exhaled heavily, raised her voice and said, "Dear guests and friends, good morning!

It has been a year since the last new product launch. It seems that Shanhai Microelectronics is quiet and has entered a bottleneck period, but in fact this is not the case. "

He Tingbo paused and said: "Shanhai Microelectronics is running at a high speed in the field of chip research and development, constantly breaking through the current barriers to production technology, optical materials and lithography equipment. So today, we will have a total of three new products. Announcement.”

"First, mature 7nm chip manufacturing process!"

"Second, the brand new Shanhai M-5 chip processor!"

"Third, Zhulong 10800 first-generation EUV lithography machine!"

"Next, let Mr. Wu Maozhe, a talented chip engineer from Shanhai Microelectronics, explain to everyone the development process and performance advantages of the 7-nanometer chip process."

He Tingbo's brief opening remarks were like throwing a tens of thousands of tons of boulder into a calm lake, and the splashing water lingered in everyone's mind.

7nm process?

Lithography?
Or EUV lithography machine?
What did Shanhai Microelectronics do during the two years of silence?
Shock, joy, madness, suspicion, all kinds of complex emotions flashed through everyone's heart!

In the past ten years, domestic lithography machines have been patented frequently, but they can only produce low-end, industrial lithography machines above 90nm. For mid-to-high-end precision fields, they can only be helpless and helpless.

Shanhai Microelectronics unexpectedly broke the rules, bypassed the encirclement of Ames, Nicon and Canon, and announced the birth of domestic lithography machines!
Wu Maozhe was wearing a casual suit and had obviously dressed up specially. In his opinion, he was just trying to catch up.

When he stood on the podium, thousands of pairs of eyes immediately turned towards him, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: "Brother, hurry up and let Mr. He introduce the lithography machine!"

If it were normal, the 7-nanometer manufacturing process might cause a major earthquake in the industry, but today, everyone just wants to know about domestic lithography machines first.

The semiconductor industry in Dahua District has been stuck at this stage for decades!

"My name is Wu Maozhe, and I am an ordinary circuit engineer at Shanhai Microelectronics. I was lucky enough to successively perfect the 16-nanometer, 14-nanometer and 10-nanometer chip production processes with the help of my colleagues.

This time, my lucky halo still played its role. With the help of Xie Shengdong, Noyce and others, I reduced the company's semiconductor process level to 7 nanometers. As the least capable and most expressive person in the team, Engineer, therefore stood on the stage..."

Wu Maozhe talked eloquently.

The media reporters in the audience smiled kindly. His life history was completely revealed as early as the first year when he received the high year-end bonus.

The second young master of Yibin Electronics!
Former senior engineer of Mai Weida!
Loser in family property competition!
After joining Shanhai Microelectronics, he relied on his own scientific research talent to turn the tide and bring China's semiconductor industry into the 16-nanometer era in one fell swoop.

No one would believe the other party's self-deprecating words.

Everyone knows very well that this is a real genius!

"Getting back to the subject, let me take the Shanhai M series of chip products as an example to briefly talk about the advantages of the 7nm process. Shanhai M-4 is a 10nm process chip, and Shanhai M-5 is a 7nm process chip.

Let’s first look at the number of transistors. Shanhai M-5 has 78 billion transistors, while Shanhai M-4 has 56 billion transistors, an increase of about 39.3%.

However, in terms of performance, it is definitely not as simple as 39.3%. The comprehensive upgrade and optimization of IP cores such as CPU, GPU, and NPU will bring a completely different experience to users.

In terms of specific numerical values, like the CPU running score, Shanhai M-5 is about 67% higher, and the GPU part is 1.2 times higher. As for the NPU running score, it is 1.3 times higher. The overall performance is improved by 83%, and the power consumption is reduced. 23%.

Sorry, I seem to have stolen another colleague's line. Regarding the performance issue, I will stop here. "

Wu Maozhe waved his hand towards Ye Youcheng, made a "hug me" expression, paused for a moment and then said:
“From a professional perspective, Shanhai Micropower’s breakthrough from 10 nanometers to 7 nanometers in such a short period of time is mainly due to four points:

First, equipment upgrade: Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine replaces some Ames products and has greatly improved resolution, stability and production efficiency. The defective rate is only 13%. At the beginning of the 10nm process , 80% yield rate is the goal we have been pursuing;

Now, it's done with ease!In the next three years, we will gradually phase out AMEX’s lithography machine products!
The Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine can achieve higher precision and smaller gate width at the micro-nano level. It can accommodate close to tens of billions of transistors on a tiny silicon wafer, with millions of transistors per square millimeter. transistor;
Second, material selection and iteration: The new materials developed by Chief Engineer Liang Kaiji have superior optical and electronic properties, can provide higher resolution and lower power consumption, and are also a major help for us to break through process limitations; "

Wu Maozhe smiled and waved in the direction of Liang Kaiji.

"This kid! He's causing trouble!"

Chen Heyu was helpless and covered his face in embarrassment. Ye Youcheng should be the first to take the stage to show Shanhai's mature and steady image.

"The new generation of researchers seems to be more energetic than us."

Xu Duanyi said with emotion.

With Wu Maozhe's out-of-the-box temperament, if he was thrown into a domestic research institute or photovoltaic company, he would have to wear a lot of shoes.

"Mr. Meng, don't mind, this guy has the same old habit."

Chen Heyu explained in a low voice,

"It doesn't matter! Technicians need to get rid of their stereotypes. He is Wu Maozhe? Very good."

Mr. Meng commented softly.

"Is his electronics factory finally coming back?"

Mr. Meng obviously knew about Wu Maozhe's experience, so he asked Bagua.

"Last year, we went through Shanhai Capital and fully recovered the capital."

Chen Heyu replied.

Originally, Wu Maozhe wanted to completely drive away his half-brother, but he chose to give up at the last moment. For Wu Maozhe today, Yibin Electronics, which has a market value of one billion, is dispensable.

He spent money to buy it, but just to get a chance.

"He is an interesting person. He is not successful in business, but he is good at scientific research."

Mr. Meng nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Third, software and algorithm optimization: Xihe 2.0 improves the collaboration efficiency between chip design and manufacturing. By optimizing algorithms and using technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, accurate chip layout and pattern generation can be better achieved …”

Wu Maozhe on the stage gradually became better and analyzed everything calmly and calmly.

But outside the venue, semiconductors from all over the world suddenly exploded, and the 7-nanometer process was like a sap in the face.

We are not familiar with the 10nm production process, but you have developed 7nm?

And let no one live?
As for Huaguo's self-developed Zhulong 10800 EUV lithography machine, it was like a wake-up call, smashing them to pieces!
In Qianhu Country, Ames headquarters, after hearing the news, Bernard stood up and shouted: "Shit! This is absolutely impossible!"

Neon Country, Neon Club Building, Matsubara Ryosuke held the document in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

At the office of the Semiconductor Association in Beautiful Country, General Director Matthew sat slumped in his chair. Just as he was about to attack Shanhai Microelectronics, the opponent raised his hand and punched him hard!
"Labour and management haven't taken action yet! You don't follow martial ethics!"

Matthew yelled.

He knows very well that the stronger Shanhai Microelectronics becomes, the more severe the losses will be to the semiconductor industry in Beautiful Country!

For a moment, all seven continents and five oceans were shaken! (End of chapter)
