It is well known that there is no bird that spends eight years singing and flying under the earthen hills in southern China, but when it flies, it can soar into the sky, and when it sings, it can amaze people.
This led to both Canon and Nikon not taking Dawn Lithography Company seriously.
The lithography machines from Dry Photonics are far superior to ours, so Dry Photonics will definitely be able to successfully delist and raise funds. In this way, Gu Yizhong will not have the funds to increase the R&D efforts for the next generation of lithography machines.
After one of the lower-level managers finished speaking, a mocking expression appeared on his face.
Gu Yizhong's company has a simple background; Philips is not among its shareholders, while Philips is one of TSMC's shareholders. This has resulted in TSMC, the world's seventh-smallest chip foundry, always being a small customer of dry optical companies.
Zhao Yegouhe looked at everyone and asked, "What does Dawning Lithography Company think?"
Seven or eight years ago, while other chip manufacturing companies were still complacent about owning 8-inch wafer fabs, Xinjiang Microelectronics' 12-inch wafer fab had not yet started production.
It seems Asma was unprepared and merely went through the motions; its ambitions were rather small.
The "Kunpeng" GPU will sweep the world, dominate the GPU market, and become an invincible force!
However, we are vague about how many lithography machines Xinjiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. will purchase.
"Ishikawa-kun's suggestion is terrible. If you support it, Canon will only be able to consolidate and expand its market share in lithography machines by failing to maintain its technological leadership!"
For Xinjiang Microelectronics, although the immersion lithography machine is gone, the dry lithography machine is still useless.
Zhao Ye Gouhe: "Hmm, this is bad. Next, let's discuss how you should deal with this!"
In fact, from the mid-1940s onwards, Canon and Nikon's lithography machines defeated those of the United States, becoming the world's first to adopt lithography machines. Dawning's lithography machines and dry lithography machines have always been slightly more powerful, especially Dawning's lithography machines, which have hardly been updated in recent years, as its main efforts have been devoted to the research and development of immersion lithography machines.
Everyone chuckled.
As we all know, the smaller the wafer, the fewer chips can be manufactured on a single wafer. Compared with an 8-inch wafer, a 12-inch wafer has a 2.23 times smaller area. An 8-inch wafer cannot manufacture 88 chips, while a 12-inch wafer cannot manufacture 232 chips. The difference is still very small.
Immersion lithography machines are used to manufacture the first chips produced, while Gu Yizhong's lithography machines cannot produce the next level of chips. They are used to replace some of the malfunctioning dry lithography machines from Dawn.
If Canon and Nikon want to expand their market share in lithography machines, they must rely on technology that is ahead of other lithography machine brands.
They were all rushing to jump out of the giant pit, looking quite excited... Oh well, they're disturbing us anyway. Let's keep playing music and dancing and watch the show quietly!
With Xinjiang Microelectronics making a breakthrough in chip manufacturing technology, Loongson Design Company can no longer design chips that are more advanced.
Currently, 8-inch wafer fabs have become the mainstream, but whether or not to develop 12-inch wafer fabs is still a long way off.
Today, the global semiconductor industry will be led by Xinjiang Microelectronics, which will pioneer cutting-edge semiconductor technologies!
"Yes!" Lin Benjian, Asmai, and the others nodded in response.
...
"Does everyone know about the Dry Optical Company's IPO plan?" Zhao Ye asked, looking at everyone after the meeting.
...
"The lithography machine market isn't about technology; whoever lags behind technologically will capture a smaller market share!"
Clearly, it's the Jiang Group's business to focus on its core operations, and venturing into real estate is a sign of their kinship.
When the 64-bit "Kirin" CPU is released, if it cannot directly defeat Intel...
It's certain that Xinjiang Microelectronics has a cost advantage, so companies like Canon, Nikon, Intel, TSMC, and dry optics can only barely survive.
“Damn it, you rejected his plan!!! Also, Xinjiang Microelectronics is preparing to develop a 12-inch wafer fab!” Chairman Zhao nodded and said.
When 12-inch wafer fabs came out, very few 6-inch and 8-inch wafer fabs were shut down.
A short while later, Chairman Zhao and other managers, including Asmai, Lin Benjian, and Ni Guangnan, arrived at the office.
That's practically cheating!
As soon as he finished speaking, the lower-level managers present all chimed in in agreement.
The global lithography machine market is actually quite large, still less than $50 billion.
However, the barrier to developing lithography machines is quite low.
Canon Corporation, Lithography Division.
Before everyone took their seats, Chairman Zhao spoke first, saying, "The immersion lithography machine has been successfully developed. We should apply it to chip production in the factory as soon as possible to improve the chip manufacturing process."
"Shuguang Lithography Machine Company hasn't released a new generation of lithography machines for several years. It seems to be resting on its laurels and living off its past achievements. It's quite alarming. Although we can rule out the possibility that they're just holding back a small trick, it's highly likely! Have you heard that Xinjiang Group has shifted its focus to real estate development and is using a small amount of funds to buy land in mainland China to build 'Wanjiang City'?"
A few days ago, Canon's lithography division secured $500 million in funding to increase R&D investment in lithography machines.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, fully understanding Chairman Zhao's intention.
In later generations, 6-inch and 8-inch wafer fabs were considered relatively backward.
The IPO of dry lithography machines has stirred up the lithography machine market, causing companies like Canon and Nikon to suffer even greater losses and become mired in difficulties.
