In 1991, January.

During the Gulf War, Operation "Desert Storm" began.

On January 2 Optoelectronics Research, Conference Room.

Cheng Yongxing arrived at the office very late.On New Year's Day, he almost slept all day.During this time, he was too busy to hit the back of the head.

After sending away his happily international friends in Japan, Cheng Yongxing took some time to take the last few exams in his busy schedule.For some of these exams, if it weren't for Zhang Yan's reminder, there is a possibility of completely missing it.

Due to the company's affairs, Cheng Yongxing did not have a good life at the end of the year, and the class party was not organized.Fortunately, my classmates, he has learned his three tricks.As an ordinary student, he indulged with everyone.

As he arrived late, when he arrived at the office, someone was already waiting there.The two guests waited outside the office early in the morning, and then Zhang Yan let them into the meeting room.

"Director Liu, Chief Wang, why did you come so early?"

Today is the first working day after New Year's Day.

As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Yongxing shook hands with the two enthusiastically.The two who came are also acquaintances, and they haven't seen each other for a long time.

"We were fidgeting when we received your call a year ago. We rushed here overnight yesterday. Xiaocheng! You really put a big satellite."

Section Chief Wang grabbed Cheng Yongxing's shoulder for a while.This mysterious young man was shocked when he shot!

"Haha, have you heard that too?"

"Oh, it's not that I heard that many people came to tell us. I don't want to listen to it! By the way, these are your two journals, and we have brought them to you together.

Section Chief Wang pulled out two Chinese periodicals from his bag.The publication of these two papers also gave the dying factory a shot in the heart.The year of last year was a bright year, and everyone generally had more expectations for the new year.

"Not bad!"

These papers are the crystallization of cooperation between the two parties.Without the help of the Science Instrument Factory, Cheng Yongxing, a keyboard man, would be stuck with the nozzle problem for a month or two.

Hero Nakamura was lucky for the first time and succeeded in making a GaN film, but repeated experiments failed.From his first time to his success again, it took three months.

From this point of view, choosing Keyi as a partner is the right choice.As a professional manufacturer of thin film material preparation equipment, Keysight is still very strong in this field. It only took about a week to get the correct results.

Cheng Yongxing stroked the cover of the new periodical.Perhaps the fate of these two journals will also change with the spring breeze of LED.I don't know if they can seize this historical opportunity.

"By the way, Xiaocheng, we also brought you a gift!"

The guests start giving gifts as soon as they enter the door.

"gift?"

Cheng Yongxing received a receipt in confusion.

"This is the bill of lading? What did you bring here?"

This piece of paper in my hand is the freight bill of the train.

"These are two lithography machines. We sent the two in stock."

"What did you send over?"

Cheng Yongxing couldn't believe his ears.

"Lithography machine! Didn't you say last time that we will see the results in March this year! We can't wait, so we just sent the goods directly."

Cheng Yongxing's mouth couldn't close.What's the situation?Lived for two lifetimes, this was the first time I saw this!

"Is this a gift? Old factory director, we can't do business! I can't use these things of you. This time I will build a production line, not a laboratory!"

Cheng Yongxing quickly refused.The lithography machine of Keyi Factory is suitable for laboratory use.The main purpose of this type of lithography machine is to make transistors for students, and it can also handle the proof of concept of integrated circuits.

But if it is really put in a production environment, it is a disaster.

————————

In the research and development process, the cost and other factors that everyone does not care about become the primary consideration when it comes to the production process.

For example, the current blue LED has a sapphire base. Listening to the name of the gem, you will know the value.There are also various reagents and medicaments, almost many of which are imported raw materials.Since there is no domestic industrial chain in this regard, there is no such thing as domestically produced raw materials.

The cost of blue LED production in China is not much lower than that in foreign countries.

At this time, the lithography machine, as the core component of this chain, has become a fatal factor.

Because the basic cost is the same.More products can be cut on a substrate, which is equivalent to reducing the unit cost of a single LED.

For example, it is operated with a laboratory precision lithography machine such as Scientific Instruments.A 2.5-inch substrate can cut 10x10, a total of 100 LEDs.Then the cost of each LED is the total cost divided by one hundred.

But what if you replace it with a lithography machine with an order of magnitude higher accuracy?

The same area of ​​material can be divided into 100x100, 10,000 LED lamp beads.What is this concept?

The accuracy is one order of magnitude worse, and the cost of the product becomes 100 times.

This is also the root cause of the complete decline of domestic semiconductor equipment.

Whoever starts a company is to make money.There are people doing all kinds of business, and even the murder and arson business.It's a trade that loses money and no one does it.

"Don't you really want to send me for free?"

If it is on the production line, it is a free gift, and Cheng Yongxing will not even consider it.

"Haha, Xiaocheng, you can really be joking. It's not what you said, you'll see the results in March! Isn't there a result!"

"I mean to see the results in March, but I didn't say I want your lithography machine!"

"Then what do you want?"

"Didn't I send the schematic diagram two days ago! I want a new MOVCD production model."

"That's okay, Xiao Wang will talk to you in detail in a moment. But what about these two lithography machines? This is here, you can't let us pull it back. I know you have a way, and now many foreigners are here. I beg you to do something, you just let them buy domestic products too."

The old factory director is dependent on these words.No matter how Cheng Yongxing shirks, he just refuses to give up.Even if it is half-price sale, he refuses to bring things back.

Keyi has long since stopped making lithography machines, and that is not their strong point.This time I have the opportunity to dispose of the old tricks and say nothing.

"Forget it! Leave these two with me."

Cheng Yongxing was really a deadly old fox, so he had to surrender.Anyway, before the official production line, he also prepared a set of human-moving simple production line and laboratory.

As the popularity of optoelectronic scientific research is gradually exposed, it is gradually inconvenient to continue occupying the MEMS laboratory.One is to leave words to others, and the other is not very safe.
