Chapter 147 Qin Guang No. 1
Fujita Yoshiki’s assistant, like the audience, thought the press conference was about to end. He picked up the remote control and was about to turn off the projector, but was suddenly stunned.
At the headquarters of Canon in Yanjing and Nikon in Shanghai,
Saito Yuzhi and Osaki Hisasaku also stood up almost at the same time, staring at the close-up of the live broadcast in amazement.
As for ASML’s CEO, Old Wen, he was having a luxurious party on a private yacht in the South Pacific, enjoying a happy Christmas vacation. He had no idea that a press conference that would change ASML’s industry monopoly was being held in the distant East.
In the field of lithography machines, there are only four companies in the world. ASML is the leader, which can manufacture all lithography machines from ultra-high-end to low-end. Nikon is the second, which can manufacture high-end 7-28 nanometer ArF immersion lithography machines.
Finally, there are Jianeng and Modou Microelectronics, which can manufacture low-end 90 nanometer lithography machines.
But today, this pattern will change dramatically!
[Qinguang No. 1 EUV Lithography Machine]
In the live broadcast room of Daqin Optics, the photographer has pulled the lens to the maximum and captured the words and logo printed on this heavyweight product!
“EUV lithography machine? Am I dreaming?”
”Fuck, it’s a lithography machine! Daqin Optics actually made a lithography machine!”
”Really? My heart can’t stand your jokes!”
”…”
After a moment of silence, the discussion finally began, and then the voices became louder and louder.
The cheers of surprise echoed back and forth in the empty venue of the Bird’s Nest.
Although there were less than a thousand people at the scene, the boiling atmosphere was no less exciting than the moment of a goal in a football game.
“EUV lithography machine! We can make EUV lithography machine!”
In a university dormitory, a student who was watching the live broadcast stood up excitedly, pointed at the computer screen and roared to his roommates, “Quick, look at Daqin Optics’ live broadcast! They have made EUV lithography machine!”
When the roommates who were playing games heard it, they didn’t even care about starting a group, and immediately threw away the mouse in their hands and gathered together.
”Fuck, is it really EUV lithography machine? Is Daqin Optics so awesome?”
”I feel that the two words “fuck, awesome” can no longer describe the excitement in my heart!”
”Master Kong’s big move is so long, I can only say – well done!”
”At this moment, I just want to madly @老M Ministry of Commerce and 老温!”
”…”
After a short pause, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was swiped wildly, and the number of people in the live broadcast room directly rushed to one million.
The rising popularity quickly attracted the attention of the operation and maintenance of various platforms. After they entered the live broadcast room, they also had a brief loss of consciousness, and then quickly pinned the live broadcast room directly to the top of the homepage.
So the traffic of major platforms all flowed into the live broadcast room of Daqin Optics frantically. Due to the lack of advance preparation for bandwidth allocation, the screen even froze for a while.
The semiconductor bosses in the second row of the audience were almost overwhelmed at this moment.
In fact, when Kang Chi invited them to come, in order to give them a little “surprise”, he did not reveal the information to them in advance.
Except for Dong Jianyuan and Chen Yunming who vaguely guessed, the others came purely for the sake of Dahan Silicon Industry and Kang Chi. The reason why Dong Jianyuan and Chen Yunming could guess was mainly because Kang Chi asked them to make a set of CMOS mask plates, and also borrowed a set of ultra-high-precision CPU mask plates to test the minimum process of the lithography machine.
But at the moment when the truth was not revealed, they were just guessing.
They all looked closely at Kang Chi, waiting for his further explanation.
After the scene was a little quieter, Kang Chi picked up a CMOS photosensitive chip and continued to introduce it to the audience: ”The chip in my hand is the CMOS photosensitive element on the Wu’an camera. The silicon wafers used to make it come from Dahan Silicon Industry, the etching machine comes from Zhongwei, and the lithography machine… is the Qinguang No. 1 EUV lithography machine behind me!”
”Qinguang No. 1 was designed and assembled by Daqin Optics. It is the first EUV lithography machine in China. Its EUV light source system comes from Changchun Optics Institute, which can achieve a stable output of 500W-EUV light source, and the optical system isDaqin Optics is responsible for manufacturing. Please look at the big screen. ”
As soon as Kang Chi finished speaking, a photo of several Daqin Optics engineers holding up the lens of the lithography machine in the dust-free workshop was shown on the background screen of the inner stage.
”This is the lens of the lithography machine. Its diameter is as high as 125mm, the mirror roughness is 25pm, and the surface accuracy is only 1.3nm!”
”Finally, it is the double-piece workbench of the lithography machine. It is developed and manufactured by Datang Heavy Industry. The displacement error is 200pm, which can theoretically meet the requirements of 2nm chip manufacturing.”
”At the same time, thanks to the 500W EUV light source, the working efficiency of this lithography machine has reached a manufacturing speed of 180 wafers per hour!”
”After initial testing, the smallest process we can currently achieve is 7nm, but the lithography machine is actually just a production tool. With the improvement of the stacking process in the future, it is completely no problem to further reduce the process. ”
Hearing this, the senior executives of Shencheng Silicon Industry, SMIC, and Lianwei couldn’t help but look at each other excitedly, and then continued to look at Kang Chi with their own thoughts.
Kang Chi’s parameter introduction just now was actually for them, and ordinary audiences probably couldn’t understand it.
When it came to the lithography machine segment, ordinary audiences were actually just watching the fun. However, while watching the fun, they could also enhance everyone’s national self-confidence, and by the way, they could also give Daqin Optics’ cameras and lenses a price. An advertisement worth a fortune.
As for the real target users of the lithography machine, they are actually the semiconductor giants sitting in the second row.
They are the ones who will really pay for the lithography machine.
And the biggest curiosity of these giants at this time is whether Kangchi will directly announce the price of the lithography machine at the press conference.
[Unified price in China: 990 million RMB]
Kangchi did not let them be curious for too long, and directly announced the price of the lithography machine on the big screen.
”990 million?!!”
”Fuck, is this a live broadcast I can afford?”
”I feel like I’m floating, watching a live broadcast of a 990 million product without blinking an eye.”
”I had a few hundred yuan in my pocket and was ready to buy a lens, but the anchor pushed a 990 million lithography machine to me?”
”Hahaha, Master Kong’s operation is pretty good. ”
“It’s gone, it’s gone. I can’t even dream of buying something worth 990 million.”
“Wait a minute, I’ll place the order after I finish eating this bite of Master Kong’s pickled cabbage!”
“Mr. Kang, stop wasting time, go to the link quickly, I haven’t tried what interface will pop up when I swipe my credit card over the limit.”
“…”
