Chapter 584： [Semiconductor war is going to make waves again? 】

"About when will mass production be possible?"

Yang Hongyi is more attentive to this issue. At present, the military has handed over the military research project of drone bee colony to Luo Sheng. The progress is very satisfactory.

Luo Sheng thought for a moment and replied: "As far as the drone itself is concerned, mass production is not a big problem. The domestic manufacturing industry is well equipped. The key is the three nodes of the combat system platform, artificial intelligence and chips. Around the end of next year, the military can come to place purchase orders. "

Yang Hongyi said in surprise: "Really so fast? Will it be able to supply the military in 2016?"

Luo Sheng nodded with a smile: "It's still a bit slower in the chip, waiting for the most advanced purple star lithography machine, want to operate the most advanced 9-nanometer AI chip under the Côte d'Azur under the drone, and lift up the power It is also possible for me to supply TSMC with OEM, but it is very difficult. The high-end chip still has to be localized. At present, the layout of the domestic semiconductor industry chain is becoming more and more perfect. "

Yang Hongyi: "That's great, the situation is great."

It is worth mentioning that the ability to deliver drones to the military on the Côte d'Azur does not mean that combat power can be quickly formed next year. If you want to truly build combat power, you can at least get it in 2018 or even 2019.

The first one is internal adjustment. After all, this is a brand new air combat mode. Secondly, the UAV needs to be equipped with a platform to exert its combat power. Whether it is a transport aircraft airborne platform, or a rocket, missile and other platforms, the relevant military industry companies need to Its R & D facilities.

It also takes time to perform the magic reform based on the existing technology.

With this done, large-scale equipment applications have to spend time, and the next major issue is repeated testing. The purpose of the test is to obtain the best data to optimize, and finally form a large-scale installation to form combat effectiveness.

The best test method is of course actual combat, there is no doubt about it.

There is also a good way to deal with this.

That is to take the road of exporting foreign trade. The Middle East world is fighting all day long, and the big dogs will definitely like this game method that can be used to fight the war without playing on the battlefield. It is absolutely for the big dogs who are afraid of dead fights. It's the rhythm of buying.

Helping to test new equipment can still make money, but why bother the best of both worlds?

...

It didn't take long for Luo Sheng to leave the Cote d'Azur Laboratory and come to the CEO's office at the headquarters of the Galaxy City. Yao Jianhong came.

"Mr. Luo, ASML, a supplier of lithography systems, recently announced that TSMC has ordered two mass-production NXE: 3350B-EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which will be delivered at the end of the year."

After hearing this, Luo Sheng asked, "What is the offer?"

Yao Jianhong: "The specific quotation has not been announced, but it should be said to be close to the level of 100 million US dollars. It is understood that the EUV extreme ultraviolet lithography machine purchased by Shengji Power will initially be used for 300 mm wafers and 10 nanometers. On 450mm wafers, in the third quarter of this year, the exposure rate of wafers accumulating on EUV technology has reached 600 per day, and if successful, it can reach 1500 per day next year. "

Luo Sheng bowed his head for a moment and muttered to himself: "Although the 10-nanometer process of lifting up power is still in the theoretical research stage, more than a dozen customers have already designed products based on it, involving mobile phone baseband, GPU, server chips. , Game console processor, FPGA, etc. "

Yao Jianhong nodded: "Yes, it is expected that their customers will complete tape production and trial production by the end of this year, and mass production will be available next year or the following year. 10 nanometers brings a 25% performance improvement over the 16 nanometer FinFET process, 45 % Power consumption is reduced and 120% gate density is increased. "

Of course, Luo Sheng can hear the implication, which means that Lansi Semiconductor ’s FinFET process is not leading, and the breakthrough of extreme ultraviolet lithography technology further extends Moore ’s Law. It also means that the most advanced commercial chip supply is possible at any time. The possibility of being cut off by European and American semiconductor manufacturers.

Overseas semiconductor mergers and acquisitions of Huaguo Semiconductor were rejected many times, and core chips banned the procurement of China. The Chinese people gradually realized that Western countries strongly protect and restrict the universalization of core cutting-edge technology. Technology export restrictions have long existed in the collective agreements of Western powers. The cutting-edge technology is tight-lipped, with a single-line system.

Yao Jianhong looked at Luo Sheng and worried: "Azure-5's processor technology is 10 nanometers, and once the chips of the Côte d'Azur have lost the ability to negotiate, the other party will not be as good as before, and our business progress may usher in uncertainty. Variable. "

Luo Sheng strikes: "No, we use the 9-nanometer process of Zixing Lithography Machine, the 'Blue Core 8' processor is put on hold, skip this generation of integrated AI chips into the 'Blue Core 9' processor, the production capacity of male core electronics Surely we ca n’t keep up. It ’s okay. Let ’s show our sword first and let our opponents see clearly. We have prepared a “spare tire” plan for nearly 10 years. We will get the right to negotiate again. The opponent will obediently come and seek cooperation. Tie Na, let's rely on Xiongxin Electronics to slowly increase its own production capacity. The company has a high profit to maintain, and it will not die for a while. "

Seeing Luo Sheng so confident, Yao Jianhong had little doubt.

Luo Sheng asked: "Oh, how is the research on the preparation of graphene flexible screens? Azure-5 flagship machine, do not launch without the front camera hidden under the screen, this flagship device must achieve 100% true meaning Full screen on the screen. "

Yao Jianhong: "The research and development of the graphene screen material has made significant progress years after Professor Liu's team joined. The screen will not affect the release of Azure-5, and we are still looking for ways to reduce costs. It's just that it is difficult to reduce costs in the short term. "

Luo Sheng didn't take it seriously: "It's not the key that the cost can't be reduced. It's enough to realize mass production. We can sell it a little more expensive."

Yao Jianhong: "Mr. Luo, should we go to Semtech to talk about the foundry of 10nm process chips, and ask them to place an order to test the Western response. If Semtech is blocked by the North American Semiconductor Industry Association, it means that we may If you can't get the order, the other party will turn your face. "

Luo Sheng smiled indifferently and said with great certainness: "Of course I have to go, and I have to go as soon as possible. I bet that the spare tire plan will not be unveiled, and this friendship boat has been settled. But it must be talked about ~ www.novelhall.com ~ We hope this is a false alarm, and we also hope to continue to cooperate with Sekimyo and other overseas supply chain partners, but this does not prevent us from warning early and creating opportunities, so you place an order to Sekimuro in the name of the Côte d'Azur Board of Directors. "

After a pause, I thought about Luo Sheng and added: "At the same time publicly releasing news to the media, the order is the need for early warning and opportunity creation, and it is also a prerequisite for throwing the pot to the other party. Let ’s first ask a good gesture and be a courtesy. In the first place, so as not to tear the face in the future, we will not take it. At the same time, this action should be fast. It must be reacted in North America and decided to restrict us to talk before, otherwise it will depreciate. After the talk, the other party will regret it again. If we recite it, we have earned enough fame and hearts, and this business is not losing money. "

Listening to the layout arrangement of Luo Sheng, Yao Jianhong couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "It is indeed a profitable business. I will fly to the other side tomorrow and talk about this matter personally with Shengji."

With the cards in hand, you don't panic.
