A strong technological nation starts with repairing mobile phones

Chapter 140 Wafer Industry Plan
Liu Xiaopei naturally didn't want to end the meeting so simply, so he stopped talking nonsense and stated the real purpose of his trip.

"Mr. Chen, this time I met you mainly because I hope you can come back to your hometown to invest. For example, I recently heard that Jingqing Industry is preparing to enter the semiconductor industry. We think Chao City is very suitable, both in terms of geographical environment and transportation."

The more Chen Jinghong listened, the more impatient he became. He stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said, "The location of the semiconductor has already been decided. It cannot be changed."

"In fact, surrounding industries are also possible. We mainly hope that your company's investment can improve everyone's family conditions!" Liu Xiaopei persisted in persuading, and emphasized that this trip was mainly to improve the lives of the people in Chaoshi.

Chen Jinghong doesn't care about his moral kidnapping. He knows the environment of Chaozhou City very well. Not to mention the business environment, the industrial supporting facilities around the three cities of Chaoshan alone cannot support the semiconductor industry.

Chen Jinghong picked up the phone on the desk and called his assistant Zhang Xiran directly.

"I'll think about this. I have something else to do later!" After saying this, Zhang Xiran knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Chen!"

Chen Jinghong nodded in response to his assistant and said directly: "Please help me see Deputy Mayor Liu off!"

Liu Xiaopei saw that all the goals of this trip had not been achieved, and he was very unwilling to continue to persuade. Before he could speak, Zhang Xiran stretched out his hand and said, "Deputy Mayor Liu, please come this way!"

"I..." Looking at Chen Jinghong, who was already working on documents, and the female assistant who was staring at him with a professional smile, Liu Xiaopei swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He stood up, said goodbye to Chen Jinghong, and left in the direction Zhang Xiran indicated.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Jinghong shook his head and said secretly after the assistant closed the door.

Zhang Xiran personally escorted Liu Xiaopei to the first floor lobby before politely saying goodbye to him.

He returned to his workstation and immediately prepared for Chen Jinghong's next work.

Chen Jinghong's statement that he was very busy just now was not really a lie to Liu Xiaopei, because the rest of the day had been planned a few days ago.

Chen Jinghong will soon meet with several semiconductor talents introduced by headhunters.

Chen Jinghong attaches great importance to semiconductors. For this project, he even gave full authority to Deng Yonghua over Jingqing's most important Tianqing system.

As for the Jingqing MCTL display project, he only looked at the report submitted by Lu Hanwei once every few days.

Originally, the progress of the semiconductor project was not planned to be so tight, but I didn't expect Niu Yiran to move so quickly, and I didn't expect the official structure of Pengcheng Dapeng New District to be so grand.

Now that the two parties have completed negotiations on industrial land, Chen Jinghong can only concentrate on speeding up the progress.

The people I met with today all focused on wafer talent, mainly silicon wafers and the third-generation semiconductor substrate silicon carbide wafers that are under development.

"Mr. Chen, Dr. Chen Zhilong is here!"

Zhang Xiran pushed the door and walked into Chen Jinghong's office and spoke softly.

"Please come in, Dr. Chen!" Chen Jinghong said hurriedly.

Chen Zhilong is about 46 years old this year. He has been engaged in the research and development of wafer crystal materials for more than 20 years and is considered the most senior R&D personnel in this industry in China.

At first, when Chen Zhilong heard that a company wanted to poach him, he had no idea. However, after some unexpected events happened recently and he heard from the headhunter about the company and the salary, he finally decided to meet Chen Jinghong.

Zhang Xiran led Chen Zhilong into the office. Chen Jinghong immediately stood up from his chair, walked to the door, shook his hand and said with a smile:

"Dr. Chen, I've been very busy lately, otherwise I would have come to meet you in person!"

Chen Zhilong immediately replied: "It's okay, I just happen to be free!"

Zhang Xiran, who was standing nearby, looked a little unnatural when he heard Chen Zhilong's answer. He thought to himself that he was destined to be a technician all his life.

Chen Jinghong didn't think so much about it. He let go of his hand and immediately took the other person to the meeting area.

Chen Zhilong already met the recruitment criteria, and this time he met the other party just to talk about some matters concerning work remuneration and Jingqing Semiconductor's wafer department.

"Dr. Chen, as an expert in silicon wafers and silicon carbide, do you think Jingqing Microelectronics can catch up starting from scratch?"

Seeing the kettle filled with water and pressing the boil water program, Chen Jinghong looked up at Chen Zhilong and asked.

Chen Zhilong thought he was here for an interview and was very nervous at the moment.

I thought about how I had entered the research institute since I graduated from university, obtained my master's and doctoral degrees in the company, and got married and had children in the company.

Half of my life has passed, and I was originally planning to work until retirement, but I never expected that I would come out for an interview today.

"According to current domestic technology, if it is silicon wafers, then as long as you have money, there is almost no difficulty, and the equipment produced by many domestic companies is already very complete.

However, silicon carbide is still difficult to produce, and currently only a few companies in China have made breakthroughs in the technology.

Although the name of silicon carbide sounds like it has only two more characters than silicon, the current production technology is actually very different. Silicon rounds can be formed by the pulling method.

At present, the world of silicon carbide has only developed a growth method, which requires it to take shape naturally under fixed pressure and temperature. The speed and difficulty are not on the same level as silicon.

It is very likely that the silicon carbide material grown without careful attention will not meet the use standards! I heard that Tianyue Advanced's latest six-inch silicon carbide substrate production line has been approved and plans to achieve mass production in 23.

If we start from now, not to mention patents, it will take another ten years for us to achieve mass production just by technology and talent!"

When talking about technology, Chen Zhilong quickly got into the mood. Once he started talking, he could hardly stop, and slowly he relaxed.

As soon as the other party finished speaking, the water started boiling. Chen Jinghong did not speak immediately but concentrated on making tea.

Long before planning to enter the semiconductor industry, Chen Jinghong paid a special investigation company to obtain a very detailed report.

He naturally understood very well that it was almost impossible to achieve mass production of silicon carbide wafers from scratch.

If he had not later purchased a chip manufacturing technology from the system and had not possessed hundreds of years of research and development memory in the system, he would not have wanted to enter this industry.

Apart from anything else, regarding the silicon carbide production crystallization technology, currently only the natural growth model can be used at home and abroad.

Chen Jinghong remembers more than five molding modes, among which the best is rotational molding, which can directly mold the set size and thickness.

This molding technology can almost instantly cause the current global silicon carbide production companies to go bankrupt.

After all, in terms of cost alone, the time required to grow a silicon carbide ingot by the natural growth method ranges from several days to dozens of days, and almost one-third of it is lost when it is cut into wafers.

The cost of each piece is in the thousands or tens of thousands, but if rotational molding is used, the time cost can be almost negligible.

As long as the material purity meets the standards, there will be almost no loss and the cost will be reduced by at least a hundred times.

Although this technology is very powerful, Chen Jinghong does not plan to use it, but plans to adopt the high-pressure pulling method, which is not as good as the rotational molding method.

However, this technology is simpler. He calculated that it can be developed according to the current level of technology, and it is not too difficult to achieve mass production.

After brewing the tea, Chen Jinghong picked up a cup and handed it to Chen Zhilong on the table. He then gestured to him to drink the tea.

Then he picked up a glass and drank it slowly.

"Dr. Chen, you should have known before you came here that Jingqing Microelectronics has just acquired the land and has nothing else, right?"

Chen Zhilong nodded and said, "I have read the information about Jing Qing, I understand all this!"

"Then do you have the confidence to help me build Jingqing Microelectronics and the wafer production department?"

Chen Jinghong looked at Chen Zhilong and asked with a smile.

Chen Zhilong did not answer this question immediately, but lowered his head and began to think.

To be honest, he came here simply because of the million-dollar annual salary and didn't think too much about anything else.

If his son had not recently speculated in stocks and lost all the family savings and even owed millions, he really would not have been willing to leave the research institute.

But when he thought about his son's debt, he couldn't even pay the interest with the monthly salary of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan from the research institute. However, according to the salary and bonus given by Jing Qing, he might be able to pay it off in a year. He had no choice but to leave the research institute where he had worked for half his life.

Thinking of this, he really didn't understand why his son, who had been so outstanding since childhood and the son that other families had always envied, would actually cause such a hole.

Although his mind told him that he had confidence in answering at this time, Chen Zhilong finally decided to answer honestly.

"Mr. Chen, I can only guarantee that I can help the company realize the mass production line of silicon wafers and catch up with the research and development of silicon carbide. As for operations and management of the company, I don't know anything!"

Chen Jinghong was very satisfied with this answer. Chen Zhilong had been very clear in his plan. He only served as a technical leader. As for other things, there was no need for him to get involved.

"It's enough to be able to guarantee the technical aspects. Dr. Chen only needs to focus on the technical aspects and leave the rest to us!"

When he heard that he only needed to be responsible for the technical aspects, Chen Zhilong immediately gave the assurance with full confidence.

The atmosphere was friendly afterwards. Chen Jinghong began to ask about some details regarding setting up a silicon wafer production line, and Chen Zhilong answered them one by one and started planning.

"Dr. Chen, how long will it take you to officially start work?"

After chatting for nearly half an hour, seeing that the next interviewer's time was about to end, Chen Jinghong finally opened his mouth to ask.

"One week. I need to process the files at the research institute, which will take some time!" Chen Zhilong replied after thinking for a moment.

At this moment, he was very glad that his previous company was not a private enterprise. Even if he resigned, there was no non-compete agreement. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for a R&D staff like him to resign.

"Then I welcome Dr. Chen to join Jingqing in advance. I hope we can grow together and build a semiconductor production base for Jingqing Microelectronics!"

Holding Chen Zhilong's hand, Chen Jinghong smiled!

Hearing this, Chen Zhilong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will work hard in the future!"
