There are a lot of "scum" who criticize for the sake of criticism, and create all kinds of negative information for our ancestors for the sake of profit.

However, Daxia is able to have today's entire industry foundation because of the foresight of these ancestors. In the era of scarcity of foreign exchange, they tightened their belts and calculated carefully to save the family business for future generations.

However, what needs to be recognized is that Daxia’s technical strength still lags far behind foreign countries, especially compared with equipment companies with a market share of over 80%, such as ASML, Applied Materials, etc., their strength is relatively weak and most of them

Equipment manufacturers cannot meet the international mass production process, and it is difficult to enter the production lines of international OEM giants.

Of course, Daxia's semiconductor equipment is currently catching up, so if it can be used at the same level or slightly worse, Gu Qing will choose more domestic equipment. Although some data are a bit poor, as long as there is the potential for transformation and upgrading

Just space.

Is the oxidation furnace of Great Britain Thermco good? The ones of CLP and Qingdao Runde are not too bad either.

Are the PVD equipment from American Applied Materials and Britannia Teer good? Are those from Yanjing Instrument Factory and Shen Zhongke Instruments unusable?

Take it back, disassemble it, optimize and upgrade it, and then...

Zhang Yantai, who was impressed by his arrogance, pestered Gu Qing for advice basically whenever he had free time. Without him, there were some equipment in the production workshop that he had never used.

During the two months of communication, the entire semiconductor team has achieved a high level of integration. After several days of familiarization with the equipment and debugging, Jiuzhou Technology Company’s first batch of 12-inch wafers were finally pulled, cut, polished, and cleaned.

Made.

Although we haven’t spent a lot of money to buy the best testing equipment, and none of the team members are well-known, they are all veterans in this industry, and they have given perfect scores for ordinary testing.

After contacting the senior vice president of Xia Xin Technology, Gu Qing took the samples, escorted by An Hetang and others, to Pudong City, Xia Xin Technology's new wafer manufacturing plant.

Yu Chengdong heard the news after this, but because he was busy with work, he could only tell Gu Qing to be careful when signing the contract.

Naturally, Gu Qing would not let down his guard. He would not do anything like helping others pay after being sold.

Arriving outside the manufacturing plant, Gao Shan had already brought some reliable experts and engineers to greet Gu Qing.

After the greetings, Gao Shan led a group of people into the workshop.

It has to be said that this is a wafer manufacturing plant with a total investment of more than 67.5 billion Xia Yuan, the most advanced Xia Xin technology, and the most advanced manufacturing technology in the country.

The level of automation in the production workshop is so high that it feels like entering the factory of the future in the movie.

"Oh, it would be great if you gave me this money..." Boss Gu swallowed and expelled this thought from his mind.

Xiaxin Technology is not an ordinary company. Its background means that as long as it has results, it will not be short of money.

After being tested by a series of high-end equipment in the testing workshop, the wafers brought by Gu Qing shocked everyone present at Xiaxin Technology.

"The thickness, purity, cutting parameters, process, and more than 40 parameters of this wafer are a fraction better than the wafers we buy from foreign wafer factories. They should be those of Korean Star or Neon."

The lab products on the other side.”

"This gentleman is really powerful. If he can get this product, we finally know their progress in wafer manufacturing. Maybe in five or six years, the 18-inch breakthrough will be achieved..."

A dull atmosphere suddenly emerged in the office outside the testing workshop.

While I was still trying to catch up, I found that the small country I once looked down on was now at the front and even moving up a level. It was really shocking.

Gao Shan shook his head when he saw this: "This is not a product from a foreign laboratory, but a new product from our domestic friends."

As soon as the words fell, the engineers' eyes suddenly lit up.

"What? This is the product of our friend??!"

"The one under Zhongke or the one in Wuhan?"

"What equipment are they using? Has the manufacturing process changed? How is the output? What about cost control?"

Countless questions came flooding in. Gao Shan patted Gu Qing beside him and introduced: "This is the boss of this batch of wafer manufacturers, Boss Gu."

Gu Qing stood up bravely, and the group of engineers tried to surround him, but An Hetang walked forward coldly, and the indifference in his eyes instantly made them regain their senses.

"I understand everyone's urgency, but many of the questions you asked are commercial secrets. I'm sorry that I can't comment on them, but I can make one point clear here.

Our Jiuzhou Technology Company can mass-produce twelve-inch and eight-inch wafers of this quality, and the equipment and technology are all domestic, so there is no need to worry about being strangled."

Of course, these words only made them calm down for a moment, but when they finally talked about the price, Gao Shan looked shocked.

A twelve-inch wafer costs 490 Xia Yuan per piece!

"Mr. Gu, although our wafer gap is huge, your price is too low. The R&D expenses and manufacturing costs cannot be recovered."

You must know that since the beginning of 2017, the price of silicon wafers, one of the key materials in the semiconductor industry, has continued to rise, and the price increase trend has rapidly spread from 12-inch silicon wafers to 8-inch and 6-inch silicon wafers.

Leading foundry companies such as TSMC and UMC have signed 1 to 2-year short- and medium-term contracts with major silicon wafer suppliers such as Neon Shin-Etsu and Sumco. The contract price for 12-inch silicon wafers has increased to US$120 per piece. Compared with the end of last year

of $75 rose 60%

After the Korean Star factory caught fire, acquired GlobalFoundries, and after capacity adjustments and market shocks, the price of 12-inch wafers is now US$150, or 1,050 Xia Yuan per piece. (For the sake of calculation, 17

The annual exchange rate is 1:7)

Gu Qing frowned, and then added some requirements: the wafers could not be resold to others, and Jiuzhou Technology Company became the priority purchaser of Xiaxin Technology chips.

Gao Shan agreed to these small requests one by one.

High-quality domestic wafers cost 490 Xia Yuan, and foreign wafers need to be queued up for 1,050 Xia Yuan.

Without any hesitation, Gao Shan made a promise to Gu Qing.

As long as the quality is not lower than the average quality of international high-level wafer manufacturers, Xiaxin Technology will need as many wafers as Jiuzhou Technology Company leaves the factory.

The price difference for one wafer is RMB 560, and the quantity is guaranteed, so it's like giving money away.

In fact, this quotation is the result of Gu Qing asking Xuanwu to calculate it thousands of times. The net profit can reach 50%. With a production of 500,000 pieces per month, the net profit can be guaranteed at 120 million.

After deducting items such as energy, consumables, and personnel wages, Jiuzhou Technology Company earns a net profit of 120 million a month, and there are also tax cuts and subsidies from relevant departments. After calculation, it still only earns 120 million.

Xia Yuan.

Because Jiuzhou Technology Company is still in the tax holiday...
