1321 As Long as the Hoe Is Swung Well, There Is No Corner that Cannot Be Dug

For equipment such as lithography machines, talents are really important.

Even though Xiao Feng now has a large number of deception experts in his hands, he dare not say that with these human cloning experts, he can create a lithography machine.

It's because this thing is too complicated, and the human cloning experts he has mastered so far are not many in the field of semiconductors.

This is also related to the gene bank from which this batch of human cloning experts came from.

At present, the human cloning experts he has mastered are basically in the field of bioengineering.

There are also sporadic physics and chemistry talents, and most of the others are military talents, such as space fighters, or security experts, or spies.

There are still many economic management talents, but the only thing is the lack of semiconductor experts.

Xiao Feng reckoned that on the foreign continent, there must be other wreckage from the crash of spaceships, and maybe there could be other gene pools of clones found there.

Otherwise, just relying on hope to look at these cloning experts, this scientific road will definitely be lame.

Because in terms of semiconductors, they lack too much.

At present, these cloning experts in his hands have already conquered the carbon nanotube chip technology, and have also made major breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.

But after all, the number of people is too small, and these experts have different directions for each specialization.

The problem now is that they still have a lot of shortcomings in the field of wafer manufacturing and lithography.

And this point, just can be poached by Japan as an emergency.

You must know that Nikon and Canon, although they have been pulled down from the altar by Asmail, they are not too far behind.

Although there is no ASML's top lithography machine in hand, it still maintains a technological gap with ASML that is only one generation behind.

In fact, the chips they can produce are enough for many fields.

It's just because the Americans can now guard against the Japanese, so they don't give orders to the Japanese.

For example, IBM, Intel or Apple, when they need a chip, the first choice is that feature.

why?

Because this is a pure chip foundry company, when it comes to other products, they can't manufacture them at all.

Moreover, they don't have their own brand in the electronics field, so they can only earn some hard-earned money in chip processing.

The second is Sansang...

The reason why the Americans give Samsung chips less orders is actually the same as the Japanese.

The electronics industry of Nanchao Kingdom is very strong now, and they now have a complete industrial chain just like Japan.

From wafers, to chips, to memory, to screens, they can produce everything by themselves.

So if they are fed too much, it is difficult to guarantee that these guys will not bite the Americans back like the Japanese after they grow up.

So in fact, the Americans have always been on guard against the people of the Southern Dynasties.

This can be seen from the number of lithography machines delivered by ASML every year.

ASML has only a few units per year, but it always gives priority to delivery to TSMC.

Although Samsung is also their major shareholder, although Samsung also has enough money in hand, it is a pity that when it comes to the order of delivery, sorry, TSMC will always be the first.

On the one hand, it is because ASML used wet lithography when it started, which killed the dry lithography of Nikon and Canon.

At that time, it was Lin Benjian, a talent from Taiwan, who invented the wet lithography method.

Another reason is that ASML is a Dutch company on the surface, but in fact it is an out-and-out American company.

So the boss behind them decides who can get more goods every year.

For Americans, it is naturally TSMC, which is not a threat, and the best choice is to get the goods first.

This is also the main reason why Samsung is always a generation or even half a generation behind TSMC in terms of production technology and production capacity of top-level chips, although Samsung claims to have a complete industrial chain and mobile phone chips.

Because of the top lithography machines, they always get the goods half a year, or even a year later than TSMC.

Therefore, in terms of production and R&D technology, they are naturally half a year to a year behind TSMC.

As for Nikon and Canon in Japan, huh, I'm sorry.

You have to wait until ASML fully supplies TSMC and Samsung before you can get the goods from ASML.

And when they got the goods, TSMC and Samsung had already got the next generation of the top lithography machine.

This is the main reason why Nikon and Canon are slowly declining.

And now they basically can't get orders from American companies, and only IBM and Intel will give them some orders when Samsung and TSMC's production capacity is full.

I think that the major manufacturers of mobile terminals, such as Apple and Qualcomm, will basically not find Nikon and Canon as OEMs.

So now they can only survive on orders from domestic manufacturers. The main business partners are Sony, Panasonic, or sometimes OEM for Toyota and Honda.

No, usually the main production capacity is given to their own camera department.

Compared with the era when they dominated the entire chip manufacturing industry in the 1980s and 1990s, they are now truly complete.

But as the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, don't look at Nikon and Canon, compared to Samsung, and chip manufacturers like TSMC are no good.

However, compared with those chip companies in our country, they still maintain at least two generations of technological advantages ahead.

But now Nikon and Canon are also facing a problem.

That is, after being overtaken by ASML, the research and development department they had attached great importance to is now getting worse.

In the 1980s and 1990s, when they were the overlords in the field of lithography, both companies had very strong scientific research teams.

However, after they were overtaken by ASML and 90% of the market was captured by ASML, their R&D department gradually declined.

Now they have fallen to the point where they are going to buy a lithography machine from ASML, which shows what their R&D department has fallen into.

This year's pandemic crisis has hit Japan's economy hard.

Although the Japanese government has issued a large number of subsidies to boost the Japanese economy and prevent Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises from closing down.

But in such a short period of a few months, more than 300 small and medium-sized enterprises have gone bankrupt.

Small and medium-sized enterprises are having a hard time, and so are big companies.

Especially companies with relatively single product lines such as Nikon and Canon.

It is also because of this that Fuyuan Shintaro played against these two companies and took a lot of people from their companies.

And these Japanese technical experts, when they heard that there was a company in Huaguo that was willing to pay them the same salary as Japan, with food, housing and insurance included, they agreed without hesitation.

You must know that these days, at their age, it is simply a dream to find a good job in Japan.

But coming to China is different. Recently, anyone who is not a fool can know about the trade disputes between China and the United States.

Moreover, they know that Huaguo is currently short of talents in chip manufacturing.

In the past, if Huaguo companies wanted to recruit technical talents like them, they would not be able to recruit them at all if they did not pay twice or even three times the original salary.

But it's different now, it would be nice to have something to eat in this environment.

What's more, Huaguo's economic development is not bad now...

So in just two months, with the help of Shintaro Fukuhara, Xiao Feng had dug a technical team of about 200 people from Japan and came to Xinghuo Technology.

And it is with the help of these people that they now have the ability to produce 28nm lithography machines.

Although it is several generations behind the lithography machines of TSMC and Samsung, it is enough.

What Xiao Feng hopes is that these Japanese technicians can help them cultivate a group of talents of their own as quickly as possible.

Then, under the leadership of cloning experts, the technology research and development will continue to speed up.

After all, those cloning experts may be lacking in some areas of knowledge, but they are definitely better than everyone in the leading direction of scientific research.

In the field of modern scientific research, forward-looking scientific research, that is, the so-called overall situation view, is very important.

Some people may not understand what forward-looking scientific research is. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a direction guide for the next generation of scientific research technology.

Just like Sharp back then, in the early years of the 2000s, they were the overlord in the field of LCD screens.

When Sharp launched the world's first LCD TV in 2000, it shocked the world even more and became the absolute overlord in this field.

Old rivals in the past, such as Philips, Thompson and other TV manufacturers, were killed one after another.

At that time, who would have thought that Sharp would fall to the altar so quickly?

Around 2006, Sharp decided to choose plasma LCD TV as the main product of the next generation in terms of next-generation LCD technology.

And Samsung, which had been chasing after Sharp before, chose to put the treasure on the LED LCD panel.

Because they judge that although the imaging effect of LED is not as good as that of plasma LCD TV, the cost is lower.

Consumers all over the world are price-sensitive, and whoever has the cheapest price will win the world.

As a result, in 2008, Samsung's LED LCD TV and Sharp's plasma LCD TV went on the market at the same time.

As a result, although Sharp's plasma LCD TV has good imaging effects, its price is high. Naturally, it is beaten by Samsung's LED TV, which is affordable.

In just two years, Sharp went from once occupying 65% of the world's LCD TV market leader to 5.3% of the world's market share.

Sharp has gone downhill since then...
