Please make money.

In 18, Yangtze Memory Technologies and Huahong Fab both introduced this type of lithography machine and installed it successfully.

As for the subsequent model 2000i, it was introduced at the end of the same year and moved into SK Hynix's factory in Wuxi.

But what does another world line have to do with my Donghuang?

There are many deviations in Donghuang's world line, such as the addition of Alia.

The progress of the semiconductor industry in this world line is still hovering around 15 years.

The toothpaste factory is still polishing 14nm++++, and there is no intention of iterating even if the toothpaste tube is bursting.

AMD is still preparing for its big move, and the Ryzen Zen microarchitecture that could rewrite the consumer market and beat the toothpaste manufacturers for several years has not yet appeared.

Based on AMD's 15-year technical background, that thing is probably still in AMD's laboratory and will not be available on the market for another two years.

Today’s AMD is not YES at all. After repeated defeats, AMD has been suppressed for more than ten years and even gave up on independently manufacturing wafers at one point.

When it was the most difficult time to survive after losing his arm, that was when Ai Rulong wanted to be the one to take over.

It’s a pity that the dog licker didn’t have a good ending, and Lao Ai is also gone.

AMD has managed to survive till now with great difficulty, and seems to be still trembling under the tyranny of the toothpaste factory.

Against this backdrop, the semiconductor market cannot be said to be a place of fierce competition among dragons and tigers, but can basically be said to be stagnant.

Who(TM) puts money in to hear the sound?

Dead water! You see? It’s not the blue sea, it’s dead water. There are also super great white sharks in the water!

AMD has been fighting hard for more than 50 years but still failed miserably. The IDM strategy is not working.

Aaliya says I won’t, I will go to IDM, I am happy.

The so-called IDM strategy means that one is responsible for everything from chip design to manufacturing.

Well, that is the independent and autonomous process that Professor Wei mentioned 8 Taihang.

You see, AMD doesn't do that anymore.

After selling the manufacturing plant, AMD adopted the fabless strategy, that is, the fabless model, focusing on design.

You can let others do the OEM work instead of doing everything yourself without having to work too much.

If you want to say whether it is good or not, then judging from the results, AMD, which was lightly equipped, did give the stubborn Intel a hard slap in the face later.

But if you ask Arya which one to choose - it's so funny, Intel is so stubborn, am I so soft?

Of course I made it myself!

No one can choke me. I will use the Force to teach my opponent a lesson and strangle him to death!

Even Alia's ideas coincide with Intel's IDM Strategy 2.0.

First: You have to develop your own craft.

Second: You also need to use other people’s technology.

Third: Your own craftsmanship should also make others jealous and rush to use it.

The fabless model seemed to be in full swing at first, but in reality it was subject to great restrictions.

When production capacity is tight, whoever has a production line is the boss.

The CEO of a chip design company who is in his fifties also had to cry loudly in the office of the foundry boss.

In order to obtain production capacity, they really knelt down and begged others, but if they couldn't spare a production line, then they really didn't have it.

Alia doesn't want to kneel down to others. She is here for vacation, not to be humiliated.

Look at me using the protagonist’s special BUFF: May your wishes come true!

Alia stroked her chin, looked back at her team, then looked at the machine in front of her, and suddenly remembered something.

Could it be that Professor Wei and his team came back just because of this incident?

Handong...Shouzheng Group...chip manufacturing...

The toad lying on the instep of your feet doesn't bite, but it is disgusting.

The purpose of Professor Wei and his colleagues is actually very easy to see through, which is to persuade Donghuang to give up interfering in high-end manufacturing.

All you have to do is buy and design, and then let others make it. This is cheaper and more cost-effective.

So, with the incident in Handong and the Shouzheng Group being hit hard in the face, coupled with the sudden return of these people who know the times and cheering, it seems that they can form another story line.

However, Arya was not involved in those plots, so they seemed vague and unpredictable.

Chip Wars 2: Dragons and Snakes Rise Again: The Final Battle of Handong

Of course, you can also use reflection coupons and void reflection.

Is it really a good idea to break the honeymoon phase of codependency?

"Does high-end manufacturing really threaten us?"

"On the inferiority of Donghuang and its limitation of only being able to carry out medium and low-level processing."

"Stop your steps and wait for your manufacturing industry."

It's so funny, but I can't laugh to death. Even a dog would get up in the middle of the night to write a paper to apply for the title of expert after seeing this.

"Fuck, this smells like a conspiracy... It's really fucking..."

Alia walked around the machine for a while, then decided to give up thinking.

What does that have to do with me? I'm just a poor scapegoat.

President Qian was rubbing his hands, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to taking over this thing himself, and the bank could provide support for this.

Obviously, in their opinion, the success rate of the Ai Group in doing this is much higher than that of the Shouzheng Group.

This is even an open conspiracy: Miss Ai, you also want this treasure, right? We will give it to you for free! How about giving you a low-interest loan?

But the shame is that I really want it...

Tsk, stay calm, don't let anyone see.

——But I really want it!

Because this thing is the most advanced model that can be introduced at present!

There is no way around it. Foreign colleagues really wish Donghuang would limp in this regard.

As one of the two poles of the world today, it would be terrible if Donghuang had no weaknesses.

The problem is that the physical industrial chain is big but not strong, and diverse but not refined.

While problems are being solved and progress is being made here, naturally there will be pitfalls and obstacles on the road to progress there.

Restricting lithography machines is just one of the nine hundred methods. They would rather not make money than force Donghuang into a trap.

For example, other competitors, such as Sansang, use the more advanced generation 2000i.

The subsequent NXT2050i should still be in ASML's laboratory, but Donghuang has no part in it either.

According to data from the official website, the resolution of NXT:1980Di is greater than or equal to 38nm, and the maximum it can support is 7nm.

Then people will have something to say, you say I am limiting, but theoretically you can make it, and I gave it to you, but your technology is not good enough.

Theoretically, it can be used in advanced processes, but theory is just theory after all.

In theory, Alia could still grow taller, but in reality?

If we use such an extreme process, we cannot guarantee the production yield and it will have no practical value.

According to the design level, this machine can produce 275 wafers per hour at full power.

Don't underestimate the output of several hundred chips. The smaller the chip size, the more chips can be produced from a wafer.

The size of the chip refers to its area. Currently, the commonly used chip sizes on the market are 10 square millimeters, 20 square millimeters, 50 square millimeters, etc.

Taking an 8-inch wafer as an example, its diameter is about 20 centimeters and its area is about 314 square centimeters.

If the chip size is 1 square millimeter, then an 8-inch wafer can be divided into a maximum of 31.4 chips.

Of course, a 1 square millimeter chip just sounds good in calculations; the commercial value of such a chip is not very high.

What the industry currently calls 6-inch, 12-inch or 18-inch wafers is actually the abbreviation of wafer diameter.

The actual wafer diameters are divided into three types: 150mm, 300mm and 450mm.

A 12-inch wafer has an area of ​​approximately 70659 square millimeters.

A chip with commercial value, such as a 3nm chip, like Qualcomm and Apple's 3nm mobile phone Soc, is expected to have an area of ​​70 square millimeters.

In other words, a 12-inch wafer, at full capacity, without wasting any scraps and with a 100% yield, can only be cut into about 1000 pieces.

But the wafer is round and the chip is square, so there will definitely be some scraps left.

We also have to consider that the yield rate cannot be 100%, and a yield rate of 90% is already very high.

Well, Sansang is said to have an early yield rate of only over 20%...

Therefore, according to the most optimistic estimate, even if the wafer factory around this machine is built, it will not be able to be completely self-sufficient.

Maybe that's why they chased and intercepted Ang, but didn't come over and smash the machine with a hammer.

There is no need for that, and it hasn’t reached the level of a high-end business war.

If this thing is left here, even if it works, it will only be water that can moisten your lips slightly in the desert.

If it is officially put into production, it is conservatively estimated that less than 10 million mobile phone chips can be cut every month.

This cannot be a very advanced process, at most it is around 14nm, and it may even have to use a mature 28nm process.

Of course, it still depends on the design.

If the design is not good, think about what level of mobile phone chips are produced with 28nm?

Fire Dragon 801!

Super invincible T0 level hot stuff!

Even if that thing was released 15 years later, it would still be a ton of negative word-of-mouth shit.

In comparison, Apple's A7 is much better, but the Dongjiao Research Institute does not have that kind of design level.

"Tsk... there is still a long way to go. The competition will become more and more fierce in the future."

Alia felt a headache, she felt that she had been severely tricked.

Those who conspired against him included but were not limited to Boss Huo, Mr. Chen, Tianhai officials, and the bank behind President Qian.

Don’t they think about how easy it is to catch up?

When Alia traveled through time - well, the time when she traveled through time will always be a mystery - when she traveled through time, 3nm chips had already appeared on the market.

If you can’t make it, then you can only kneel down and beg others to sell it to you.

The largest 12-inch wafer has a factory price of US$, and there is no room for bargaining.

Is it expensive? But advanced processes are expensive!

If you use the 7nm process, we can give you half the price, yuan per piece.

But if you can't keep up with the performance of your competitors and no one buys your products, then that's your problem.

If we manufacture 3nm chips, we will eventually be able to cut out only about complete and usable finished chips.

Just for the wafer, the foundry cost of a single chip is as high as 200 yuan.

If the subsequent costs of R&D, wafer fabrication, packaging, damage reporting, and marketing are added, the cost of a chip will be at least thousands of yuan.

This is why, before Alia traveled through time, the cost price of Snapdragon's flagship Soc had already reached more than 1600 per chip.

That’s it, love or not, do you have a choice?

You know, there is no competitor. Whether the market is chaotic or not depends on the peak of technology.

So what if 888 is a fire dragon? If you have the guts, just don’t release a new phone for a year and say goodbye to the market.

The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.

Only high-value products such as flagship mobile phone SoCs, computer CPUs, and GPUs can use 3nm technology.

Those chips that sell for less than 1000 yuan are not worthy of using advanced processes. Of course, you, Mazda, will be stuck in traffic.

Of course some cute little ones will ask, then won’t there be no way out?
