When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

The popularity of Galaxy Technology's development of photoresist through artificial intelligence technology has not diminished with the passage of time.

There are media reports on this matter almost every day, both overseas and domestically.

It’s just that many people have shifted their attention from photoresist to artificial intelligence technology.

After all, compared with artificial intelligence technology, photoresist technology is nothing.

Just as major laboratories around the world are waiting for the results to come out.

Wang Donglai released the paper.

After all, a thesis is different from previous documents, and the content inside is more valuable.

This paper soon caused a huge sensation in the academic community.

When it comes to journals, we have to mention the two core journals Science and Nature.

Given Wang Donglai's current reputation and status in the international academic community, these two academic journals naturally noticed it first.

at this time.

Nature magazine headquarters.

The editor-in-chief of the journal, Wilson, was asking George, a famous scholar in the field of materials, "George, have you noticed the paper from China?"

Whether it is photoresist or artificial intelligence technology, if any of them can achieve a major breakthrough, it will be extremely important news for the global academic community.

As a core journal, we naturally don’t want to miss such news.

However, also because of the academic status of Nature journals, we must be absolutely sure.

After hearing the voice of editor-in-chief Wilson, George raised his head and said, "I think there is a big problem with what you said!"

"Of course I noticed the news from China. The formula of photoresist is actually not a difficult problem. As long as you have a certain level of technical skills, you can reverse it. Although you can't achieve 100%, you can achieve 70 to 80 percent."

"So, to put it bluntly, the successful development of a photoresist is just that."

"But if it is developed through artificial intelligence technology, it will be different. This means that the field of materials will get rid of the previous dilemma."

"Material science research and development is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires luck, and the results of research and development are not controllable at all. However, with artificial intelligence technology, these shortcomings can be immediately compensated."

"So, in my mind, whether photoresist is real or not is not important at all compared to artificial intelligence technology!"

Wilson also understood this truth, and then said, "I understand what you said."

"However, we need to make one thing clear first. China will never open source the artificial intelligence technology they have developed. It is also unknown how much role artificial intelligence technology plays in the development of photoresist."

"Right now, what we have before us is whether this photoresist is genuine."

"Only after proving this can we further explore artificial intelligence technology."

George nodded in agreement with Wilson.

"Although the experimental results in the laboratory have not yet come out, based on the current conclusions, this is definitely a qualified or even excellent photoresist material."

“All parameters are not inferior to those of KrF photoresist from Sakura Country, and are even better.”

"If we know the stability, yield rate and manufacturing process of this photoresist, we can give a more appropriate evaluation."

Wilson's face showed a hint of joy, and he said, "George, do you mean to say that the photoresist developed by Galaxy Technology is real and effective?"

George nodded and confirmed it, then continued: "Anyway, judging from the data, it is indeed the case."

Wilson thought about it for a moment, then said to George, "George, I'm going to publish this short message about the scientific achievement!"

George's face showed a trace of surprise, and he said aloud: "Editor-in-chief, this is a bit too hasty!"

"No, there's no rush at all!"

"If it was any other technology or any other person, I wouldn't do this either, but it had to be Wang Donglai from China."

"He is different from other Chinese scientists. He doesn't seem to care about our journals."

"Except for the initial period, when he submitted a few papers, he published all his later papers in independent journals in China."

"Even if some of the papers clearly had greater academic value and could gain greater profits and academic reputation by publishing them in international journals, he did not do so."

"For example, this time, according to common sense, you should submit your paper to us first, and then release the product after the paper is published."

“But he just didn’t do that.”

“For a journal, the value of a top scholar is incomparable.”

"Now, while no scientific research institutions or academic journals in the world have publicly expressed their support, we have released this short message about our scientific achievements, which will definitely win his favor."

Wilson actually didn't have to explain to George, but for some reason he explained it anyway.

Although George felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew the gap between himself and Wang Donglai, so he suppressed his unhappiness.

Seeing that George showed no objection, Wilson did not delay and arranged it immediately.

It is no coincidence.

What Wilson of Nature could think of, science could think of too.

So, just at the same time, the two core journals in the academic community published short messages with similar content.

That is the announcement that China Galaxy Technology has successfully developed a new type of high-end photoresist.

There was no mention of artificial intelligence technology in the text message.

When these two text messages were sent, they immediately caused an uproar.

Not many people would doubt the authority of the two core journals.

Seeing that both Nature and Science have issued news about their scientific and technological achievements, it is natural to make a final conclusion on whether the information on the Internet is true or false.

Galaxy Technology has indeed mastered the photoresist technology!
This news is not good news for many countries around the world.

The bald eagle does not want to see China become stronger, as it believes that China will usurp the bald eagle's dominant position.

The Russian Bear also does not want China to become strong. After all, the two countries are too close.

The country that would be most unable to accept this news would probably be the Land of Sakura.

Most of the global photoresist market is dominated by companies from the Sakura Country.

Although this market is not worth trillions or hundreds of billions, as a core technology in the semiconductor field, the Sakura Country has also gained many benefits by monopolizing this market.

Now, high-end photoresist technology has been broken through by China.

The relevant companies in the Land of Sakura are well aware of what this means.

What China is best at is mastering a technology and then lowering the price through cheap labor and management costs.

Products that could have been easily sold at high prices will see their prices plummet after a breakthrough in China.

And along with the endorsements of the two major magazines Nature and Science, the biggest victim emerged.

That is JSR's Watanabe.

How confident and arrogant he was in front of the reporters before, and how embarrassed he looks now.

The brief news on scientific achievements from the two core journals, Nature and Science, were like two slaps in the face to Watanabe.

However, he was suspended from his job before he had time to think about how to save his face.

JSR headquarters. At this time, Kimura, the person in charge of the photoresist business line, was kneeling in front of JSR Chairman Yamashita Toru.

"Tell me, how much damage will this cause to the company's business?"

Yamashita Toru saw it clearly that as long as China made a breakthrough in a certain field, it would be a market nightmare for other countries.

The price is cheaper and the production capacity is greater.

Such products are naturally very likely to be popular in the market.

When Kimura heard Yamashita Toru's question, he immediately reported: "According to estimates, with China's production capacity, it will be possible to ship a large number of products next year, and the price will be reduced to about half of the current price."

Even though he had expected this, when he heard this report, Yamashita Toru still felt a little angry and frowned.

"No, the market for photoresist is not that big, and the sellers are very fixed. Galaxy Technology has just developed this type of photoresist, and its stability may not be guaranteed."

“Sometimes, the price of a product is important, but the quality of the product is more important.”

"Give the order. In the future cooperation, we will take the initiative to reduce the price by one-fifth. But in return, we need to sign longer contracts with Samsung and TJD, and also agree on our priority rights."

"In addition, let the word out that China has designed an advanced packaging solution and has a plasma etcher. Now it has photoresist. The next step is likely to be the development of a photolithography machine. Once China achieves a breakthrough, it will become the largest producer in the semiconductor field, not an importer."

Kimura's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"President, I understand!"

What Toru Yamagami talked about was not complicated. Kimura was also shocked at the beginning by Galaxy Technology's breakthrough in photoresist technology, so he lost his composure and did not think of it.

As a long-established company engaged in photoresist business, JSR has already reached cooperation with major wafer fabs around the world.

It also occupies a considerable share in the field of photoresist and has some say.

They are very clear about one thing: in the semiconductor field, the technical requirements are extremely high.

It is impossible for a new photoresist to be used as soon as it is launched on the market.

Because there are too many core processes in the manufacturing process of a chip.

If a chip fails due to quality problems with the photoresist, the cost of the loss will be too high.

Before photoresist is adopted, rigorous experiments are required to test its stability regardless of cost or loss.

Only in this way, after obtaining accurate data, can it be gradually accepted by the market.

This process cannot be completed in a day or two.

Foundries will not do this casually, because experiments also cost money.

If the photoresist is good enough to be used, why spend money to test it and take the risk of replacing it?

Businessmen are risk-averse.

It was based on this mentality that Yamagami Toru came up with this idea.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with what Yamagami Toru said.

China has completed the research and development of plasma etcher in the semiconductor field. Advanced packaging design solutions have taken chip manufacturing capabilities to a higher level, and now photoresist has been developed.

If these technologies had taken five or six years to develop, Yamagami Toru wouldn't have been so worried or vigilant.

But these technologies were developed in the past two years by a company called Galaxy Technology.

Shan Shangche couldn't help but be careful.

Wang Donglai is determined to localize semiconductors, and he has never concealed this fact.

So Yamagami Toru also knew about this.

In the past, I didn’t take it seriously and just thought it was bragging by the Chinese.

But now, Toru Yamakami was awakened by the research and development of photoresist.

It turns out that China has made such a big breakthrough in the semiconductor field, and it is all related to Wang Donglai.

This made Yamagami Che nervous.

In the global economy, every country has its market position.

As China becomes stronger, other countries will inevitably fail.

For example, the kimchi country.

Although Yamagami Toru is a businessman, he sees this very clearly.

Under the cover of the nest, there is no complete egg.

Rather than waiting until Galaxy Technology has truly made a breakthrough in key technologies and achieved localization of key technologies, it is better to interrupt them in time when this trend appears.

Yamagami Toru also has a certain degree of confidence. As long as this news gets out, it will inevitably bring certain troubles to the development of China's semiconductor industry.

After all, there are too many countries in the world that do not want to see China become stronger.

This is true for countries and regions both large and small, near and far.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

The decline of China will not only be bad for China, but it will also be a good thing for all regions and countries outside China.

A huge population market, vast territory, rich natural resources and demographic dividend.

If it were to become a dumping ground for products and a processing site for low-end industries, it would be a benefit to the whole world.

The term "world's factory" has more negative connotations than positive connotations when applied to China.

……

domestic.

The two core journals, Science and Nature, released short news on scientific and technological achievements one after another, and domestic news media naturally would not miss it.

This news became a hot topic in a very short time and caused an uproar on the Internet.

Especially in combination with the paper Wang Donglai released on the official website of Galaxy Technology.

Netizens have also discovered that Galaxy Technology always likes to publish something on its official website.

Rather than on any media platform.

They are often first published on their own official websites and then moved to media platforms.

"You little black guys, come out here, didn't you say that Galaxy Technology couldn't possibly complete the research and development of photoresist? Now that Science and Nature magazines have sent out text messages, what else do you have to say?"

"High-end photoresist! I didn't expect that Galaxy Technology has made a breakthrough in a key technology and broken the foreign monopoly!"

"I don't care about photoresist. I just want to know whether Galaxy Technology's claim that photoresist was developed using artificial intelligence technology is true or false?"

"When I think about how artificial intelligence technology can develop something like this, I feel scared. When artificial intelligence technology becomes popular, what value will ordinary people like us who are not smart enough have?"

"I just want to loudly say that Academician Wang is awesome and the best in the world!"

"Now that photoresist has been developed, isn't it time to put photolithography machines on the agenda?"

"I think this is possible!" (End of this chapter)
