Chapter 631: Only Three Companies in the World! 97.4 Million a Day! We need to eat the bait, and we can't stop researching!
On the afternoon of May 31st, Xingyuan Technology Optical R&D Center.
Although it was a holiday, most of the hundreds of R&D engineers responsible for the lighting system were busy at the test benches.
"Surface accuracy 34 picometers!"
"The surface roughness of the molybdenum-silicon multilayer film is 46 picometers!"
"Light energy utilization rate 91%!"
"The lighting uniformity exceeds 98%!"
Suddenly, a young engineer from the test team shouted.
When the others heard the sound, they all stopped what they were doing.
"Hahaha! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a river is formed by the accumulation of small streams! Mr. Lin, am I right? If foreigners can handle this lighting system, we can do it too!"
Wang Xiangchao narrowed his eyes and carefully pondered the meaning behind these sets of data.
This means that China's semiconductor industry has mastered the complete lighting system technology chain for the first time.
Once the core technologies of projection objective lens system, mask plate and mask stage are mastered, China will have a world-leading reflective optical system.
At this point, we have almost completed one-third of the difficult journey to develop our own EUV lithography machine.
All this is thanks to the boss!
Lin Nan pondered secretly in his heart.
After returning from Luzhou, Liu Fengjun brought back a set of mature ion beam polishing, magnetorheological polishing and magnetron sputtering technology solutions.
At the same time, Chen Yansen's scientific research talent gradually spread in the R&D center.
Although most researchers did not believe Chen Yansen at first, the results are now before their eyes and they have no choice but to believe it.
What's more, there is evidence from Liu Fengjun, the person involved.
"Engineer Wang, we have the technical documentation, but who should we assign the manufacturing task to? Changchun Guoke Precision or Hucheng Microelectronics Equipment?"
Lin Nan frowned slightly and looked at Wang Xiangchao and asked.
"Let's choose Hucheng Microelectronics," Wang Xiangchao said after a moment's thought. "Their vacuum system and anti-pollution technology are top-notch in China and can maximize imaging quality."
Wang Xiangchao has devoted all his life's energy to the research and development of optical systems and is very familiar with the situation of China's ultra-precision optical manufacturing industry.
Lin Nan nodded. In fact, he was more inclined towards Hucheng Microelectronics.
That night, an aspheric reflector coated with 120 layers of molybdenum-silicon film was delivered to Yanjing.
A group of bigwigs from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Association came out in full force and gathered in the laboratory of the Institute of Optoelectronics.
Someone stood aside, looking at the reflector with a diameter of 0.6 meters with a complicated expression.
Some people couldn't wait to put on dust-free gloves and carefully touched the smooth surface.
"Currently, there are only three companies in the world that can produce reflectors with a surface accuracy below 50 picometers: Saigao, Zeiss, and Xingyuan."
An engineer from the Institute of Optoelectronics sighed softly.
They worked hard for half their lives but couldn't even step into the door of this technology, but a private enterprise was the first to break through the difficulties.
There is jealousy, relief, and even unspeakable self-mockery, as if all my youth has been wasted in this life.
Someone quietly took off his glasses and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
You should know that the cost of making an ultra-high-precision reflector alone is hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the selling price is even more astonishingly high, at least 3 million US dollars.
An EUV lithography machine needs to be equipped with six such mirrors, and the cost of this item alone is US$18 million.
The price of an EUV lithography machine ranges from US$80 million to US$120 million, with the cost of the mirror accounting for approximately 15% to 22.5%.
The importance of mirror polishing and coating technology can be seen from the price alone.
The night deepened outside the window, but the lights in the laboratory were blindingly bright, illuminating the mixed expressions on everyone's face.
"Old Chen, do you remember when we went to Zeiss for an inspection ten years ago? They wouldn't even let us into the lab."
Zhang Yujian from the Institute of Optoelectronics spoke slowly, looking at the chief scientist Chen Gaohui standing beside him.
"At that time, we could only buy obsolete and damaged reflectors from second-hand markets in Europe and the United States, disassemble them and conduct research. We didn't even have reliable instruments to measure the thickness of the coating."
Chen Gaohui smiled bitterly.
The next morning, Li Qingsong, the head of the Business Association, and the head of the Big Fund project rushed to the Institute of Optoelectronics together.
…
…
"Old Chen, why are you so anxious to go back to Chunshen?"
In Bihu Yunxi, in front of Villa No. 6, Chen Yansen said to Chen Guobin in the driver's seat of the BMW X5.
"I'm going home to be with your mom. Take care of yourself."
Old Chen opened his mouth, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally changed the subject, gave a brief explanation, and drove away.
"Song Yuncheng likes to eat rice dumplings stuffed with red beans and candied dates. Remember to make a few more."
Chen Yansen returned to the living room and gave instructions to Ye Qiuping who was sitting beside the sofa.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll put ten kilograms of rat poison in the rice dumplings?"
Ye Qiuping said gritting her teeth.
"Bang!"
Chen Yansen raised his hand and slapped Master Ye. Master Ye's brows were furrowed with anger. He didn't dare to say a word and ran away hurriedly, covering his butt.
At the same time.
The second batch of Orange Supermarket stores in Shanghai happened to be opening on the first day.
There are a total of eight large stores and 27 community micro stores. Including the previous number of stores, there are a total of ten large supermarkets and 33 community life supermarkets, totaling 43.
In addition, six large stores and 44 micro stores are currently under renovation and are expected to be operational by September.
The speed at which Orange Supermarket opens stores is not fast, but it is not slow either.
Byron is in charge of the Shanghai headquarters, while Hou Yi is responsible for connecting with the supply chain and following up on site selection.
In addition, orange supermarkets in Hangzhou, Luzhou, Jinling and other places also need to speed up their layout.
"It's impossible that you hadn't left East China before 2015, right?"
Chen Yansen's words were like a whip, constantly lashing Byron and Hou Yi's hearts.
When the two of them reported their store opening plans before, they were still thinking about taking it slow and steady, but after he reminded them, they realized the urgency of expanding nationwide.
Hou Yi put down the supply chain report in his hand and said to Byron on the other end of the phone, "We have to speed up. The site in Hangzhou must be decided next month, and the teams in Luzhou and Jinling must be established as soon as possible. We can't be stuck in East China until 2015."
Byron responded, "Don't worry, the business team will go to Hangzhou next week to discuss cooperation. Please keep a close eye on the supply chain."
Before opening a supermarket, you must pay your respects first!
Only after you have settled things with the local central agency can you do business with peace of mind.
Although Byron is a beacon countryman, he is no less knowledgeable about social skills than Hou Yi. He even takes two hours of Chinese classes after working overtime every day.
After all, if you can't even understand Chinese, how can you get a promotion opportunity in Sunlink Group?
In the eyes of outsiders, Orange Supermarket's expansion speed is too fast. In less than two months, it added 35 new stores at once.
In Shanghai, almost every densely populated area has a large Orange Life Supermarket, with a total business area of up to 160,000 square meters.
With the help of the industry direct supply model of Pinbei and Kuaipao Maicai, and the cold chain logistics of Yunsu Express, customers can buy the freshest fruits and vegetables from all over the country every day.
1.9 yuan per pound of pakchoy;
4.9 yuan for 3 jin of potatoes;
6.9 yuan for 3 jin of tomatoes;
9.9 yuan for 5 jin of fruit cucumbers;
19.9 yuan per pound of beef brisket...
Since its opening, it has always had open supply, giving RT-Mart, China Resources and Walmart a hard time even raising their heads.
These traffic-generating products have attracted a large number of potential customers to the supermarket.
Moreover, users in Shanghai can clearly feel that Orange Supermarket's service attitude and level far exceed its own positioning level.
From the cleaning lady to the stock clerk to the cashier, everyone had a smile on their face. Not only did they answer every question, but they were also extremely warm and polite.
The reason is very simple. First, it is the company's requirement; second, it comes from the heart.
The vast majority of ordinary people, once they have a job with stable income and complete benefits, are often willing to treat others with kindness.
On the first day of the opening of the second batch of Orange Supermarket stores, the entire project's cumulative daily revenue was 97.4 million, and the sales per square meter was still shockingly high.
This is mainly the result of Chen Yansen's strict control of the supermarket operating area, focusing on community supermarkets and supplemented by comprehensive large supermarkets, so as to cover more user groups and create higher sales.
The other side.
Chen Yansen hung up the phone with a gloomy face. Zhang Weili's other party claimed on the phone that he had special channels and could get 6 NXT 1980i lithography machines.
Chen Yansen knew immediately that the news of Xingyuan Technology's breakthrough in polishing and coating technology must have leaked out.
The European and American semiconductor companies are taking action at this time simply to use supply orders to try to make him give up the idea of developing his own lithography machine.
With the NXT 1980i lithography machine, Huawei has the ability to manufacture 16-nanometer and 14-nanometer chips. Through multiple exposure technology, it can even produce chips equivalent to 10-nanometer chips.
Chen Yansen put down his phone. He knew too well what European and American companies were thinking.
Using ready-made lithography machines as bait, they forced Xingyuan Technology to give up the difficult path of developing its own EUV, and continue to rely on their technology, which would forever strangle them.
Chen Yansen sneered and thought to himself: He has to eat the bait, but he cannot stop at any step on the road to developing his own EUV lithography machine.
As for who leaked the information, just leave it to the An Guo Association to investigate.
…
…
In the conference room of Xingyuan Technology's Optical R&D Center, Lin Nanzheng, Wang Xiangchao, Liu Fengjun and others are sorting out the technical confidentiality process.
Lin Nan pointed to the permission list on the screen and said in a serious tone, "From today on, all core technical documents will be encrypted. Only R&D team leaders and above will have access, and each access will require an operation log.
Experimental data related to mirror polishing and coating are stored separately on an offline server to eliminate the risk of online theft.
Liu Fengjun immediately added, "Most of the engineers on the team have signed confidentiality agreements, and confidentiality training will be conducted regularly in the future. Additionally, I've also discussed with the technical director of Hucheng Microelectronics, and the key parameters for mass production will only be coordinated by two core personnel from each company."
"Well, after tomorrow, the Anguo Association will send more security personnel."
Lin Nan nodded.
Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the engineer from DeepBlue Technology who stole the electrolyte formula was directly sentenced to death.
Therefore, Lin Nan planned to compile the verdict of this case and use it as a key point when holding confidentiality training.
It's not a threat, it's just a statement of fact.
Xingyuan Technology's aspheric reflector technology is no less important than the electrolyte formula of the Deep Blue battery.
If he gets paid for leaking the information, he will risk losing everything. He wants to see if anyone dares to leak the information.
