"Boss Chen, this is the immersion lithography machine we developed. This lithography machine breaks the traditional dry lithography theory and uses wet lithography with water as a medium, which greatly improves the process. Although our current process level is around 100 nanometers, we can enter the 65 nanometers industry at any time. "
"That is to say, once our immersion lithography machine is on the market, our technology level will be comparable to ASML. At the same time, we can also produce the current top chips. "
In a secret research base at the Center International, Lin Benjian excitedly introduced to Chen Yu.
"Good, very good."
Looking at the lithography machine in front of him, Chen Yu was also a little excited.
In his previous life, the Chinese had worked hard for such a lithography machine for a long time.
Of course.
This was not to say that the Chinese could not make a lithography machine in his previous life.
In fact, the lithography machine technology was mastered by the Chinese, but it was not so easy to make a lithography machine that reached the world's top processing level.
By 2021, the top lithography machine in his previous life only reached 90 nanometers.
However, ASML had reached 5 nanometers, 3 nanometers, and even 2 nanometers.
This was a gap of dozens of times.
It was also a gap of several generations.
If they really caught up with such a gap, it would probably take 100 years.
Fortunately.
Chen Yu had poached Lin Benjian from TSMC long ago.
With the help of his wet lithography theory, the world's first immersion lithography machine was born.
"Boss Chen, this lithography machine is not our most advanced. With the support of the wet lithography theory, our process can be greatly improved in the future. At present, the world's highest process level is 65 nanometers, which is very difficult to improve. However, we have just started. In the future, we will enter 45 nanometers, 28 nanometers, 20 nanometers, 10 nanometers, and even 7 nanometers … "
When it came to technology, Lin Benjian talked endlessly.
To him, being able to realize his own theory was the most exciting thing for him.
And he knew that once their lithography machine was on the market, he would change the global chip process and even the global semiconductor industry.
"Chief Engineer Lin, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yu held Lin Benjian's right hand with both hands. "You guys should be ready at any time."
"Yes, Boss Chen. We're always ready."
…
"Boss Chen, I didn't expect our wet lithography machine to be developed. However, Boss Chen, you've kept this from me for a long time. "
"I don't want to hide it from you, but this matter is very important. Other than Zhang Rujing and me, no one else knows about it. Besides, if I wanted to, I didn't want to get our lithography machine up and running so quickly. At the very least, it's not the best time yet. "
"Boss Chen, I understand what you mean."
Other than Chen Yu, Zhang Jianming knew Huanyu Technologies the best.
If Huanyu Technologies was given a few more years to develop, many problems would be easily solved.
At this time, Microsoft and its allies were attacking Huanyu Technologies. Although Huanyu Technologies was not afraid, it suffered a lot of losses.
Fortunately.
Huanyu Technologies had expected this and was prepared for everything.
…
"Boss Zhang, do you think TSMC will join Microsoft?"
After Chen Yu left, Lin Benjian asked Zhang Rujing.
"Benjian, you've been at TSMC for a long time. You should know Zhang Zhongmou better than me. Why are you asking me?"
"Boss Zhang, I'm just a technician. Although I've been at TSMC for a long time, I really don't know much about Mr. Zhongmou."
"That's true. Not to mention you, even I was almost killed by him."
Zhang Rujing said self-deprecatingly.
Back then, he was Zhang Zhongmou's subordinate at Texas Instruments. Later, he returned to Tai City to start his own business and was acquired by TSMC. Then, he became Zhang Zhongmou's subordinate again.
Fortunately, he came to China in a fit of anger and founded Huanyu International.
Although Huanyu International was not as good as TSMC, these years were the happiest for him.
The domestic market was so big, and he had the support of a giant like Huanyu Technologies. It could be said that his future was very bright.
"Benjian, you seem to be in a dilemma. What do you think?"
"I … don't know."
Lin Benjian shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Boss Chen asked me to join Huanyu Technologies. I just wanted to realize my wet theory wholeheartedly."
"Isn't it good that it's realized now?"
"Yes, it's indeed realized my dream. However, when I think about the current situation, I actually don't want to see it. "
"It's not just you who doesn't want to see it. Boss Chen doesn't want to see it either."
Zhang Rujing also sighed. "I've talked with Boss Chen. Boss Chen is most insistent on global integration. This is not only good for Huanyu Technologies, but also for the world. However, sometimes, some people and some forces would go against globalization for their own interests. This was not something that could be decided by one's will. However, this also proves that the global situation is about to change. "
"Boss Zhang, do you mean that Mr. Zhongmou might really join Microsoft?"
"Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhongmou might not do this. He's a very cautious person. He won't easily pick a side. However, if there's interference from outside forces, he can only choose to pick a side. "
"I understand."
Lin Benjian did not say anything else.
He understood Zhang Rujing's words.
A new era was about to arrive.
Of course, he also knew.
Before the arrival of this new era, it would undoubtedly be the darkest era.
The previous ban by Microsoft and Intel was just the prelude to this storm.
After Microsoft and Intel attacked Huanyu Technologies, another giant joined the war.
TSMC.
Yes.
That's right.
TSMC, who had not made a choice, finally made their choice.
TSMC's official announcement: "Due to the increase in security level, TSMC will suspend cooperation with certain customers …"
TSMC was not the only one who made the announcement. ASML, which made photolithography machines, also made the announcement.
They also suspended cooperation with certain customers on the grounds of security. They also suspended the delivery of photolithography machines ordered by certain customers.
When the announcement came out, there was no indication as to who this customer was.
However, after seeing these two announcements, all the media in the world pointed to Huanyu Technologies.
"F * ck, Microsoft is really ruthless this time."
"It's not enough to pull in Intel. They even pulled in TSMC."
"It's over. This time, Huanyu Technologies is really done for."
Some industry insiders felt their hearts skip a beat.
Especially those who had always supported Huanyu Technologies.
It could be said that the previous counterattack by Huanyu Technologies made them happy.
However, after TSMC entered the picture, they suddenly felt like they had fallen to the bottom of the ice.
"Master, what's the situation? Why is Huanyu Technologies finished?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Don't. Analyze it. Isn't Huanyu Technologies very powerful? I'm afraid they will do something."
"This is not a matter of fear. Didn't you see that TSMC and ASML have entered the picture?"
"Is TSMC that powerful?"
"Let's put it this way. 70% of the world's chips are OEM by them, including Huanyu Technologies' Tianwen Strongest Core and C4C5 chips."
"Doesn't Huanyu Technologies have its own Centrum International? Why should we be afraid of them?"
"Brother, although Centrum International also manufactures chips, they can only manufacture low-end chips. If TSMC doesn't allow Huanyu Technologies to manufacture chips, that means you won't even be able to buy a Super Pear smartphone. "
"What the heck, it's that serious?"
"It's that serious."
