Chapter 93 Eighteen Inch Wafers

Talents, land, and factory equipment are all there, but after all, 100 million is only enough for initial consumption.

Large amounts of capital investment will be required later.

As for how to properly fill the remaining holes, Gu Qing already has an idea.

Xiawei and Yijia, two mobile phone manufacturers that have deeply integrated the use of [Jiebei], have really seen sales take off this year.

In the mid-to-high-end market, Xiawei sells even better than Apple.

In the low- to mid-range market, Yijia has been able to compete with rice.

The sales volume of rice's mobile phone business has also increased this year. These three companies have gone overseas to harvest the world and seize the mobile phone market at various price points.

At the beginning, they did not expect that the cost-effectiveness and strong privacy protection could not be ignored. For users in the European and American markets, it was like a kitten encountering freeze-dried and dried fish, which made everyone want to stop.

Due to the huge increase in sales, production has been climbing slowly. In many places, it is even hard to find a machine, and you can make money by buying it and reselling it.

My good friends have made a lot of money. Is it difficult for my little brother to make some money?

Especially some good partners who want to crack the [Boundary Monument] but have not yet succeeded. What should they do if there is no [Boundary Monument] blessing in the second half of next year?

The bait I put down at the beginning can finally make some profit today.

In fact, it's like some loans. The lower the initial cost, the higher the cost later.

Friends, get some here. If that’s not enough, it’s not difficult for units with confidentiality qualifications to find banks to borrow some money. And semiconductors are an industry that Daxia is vigorously cultivating. It’s not difficult to get the Chengdu City Government to give some “help”.

Bar.

With the solution, Gu Qing felt much more relaxed.

After putting his parents on the high-speed train back to his hometown, he took Anhetang and transferred to the Chengdu Airport.

For the sake of his waist and sleep quality, Boss Gu bought first class this time.

After catching up on some sleep and eating something on the plane, we arrived in Pengcheng.

As a prefecture-level city in Guangzhou, a city under separate national planning, a megacity, the Daxia Special Economic Zone approved by the State Council, a national economic center city and an international city.

Pengcheng gave Gu Qing the feeling of pleasure.

As soon as they got off the plane, people were walking in a hurry. Even Xia Wei, who came to pick up the plane, spoke faster than people elsewhere when he spoke to Gu Qing.

Since he didn't bring any luggage, Gu Qing asked the receptionist to take him directly to Xia Wei's headquarters.

After getting off the car, Yu Chengdong, who was busy with official duties, appeared downstairs in the company.

"Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You still look like you."

Yu Chengdong, who was born in the 1960s, warmly hugged Gu Qing, who was born in the 1990s.

After completing the formalities at the door, Yu Chengdong brushed his face and led Gu Qing and An Hetang to his office.

Both parties are old friends, and it was Xia Wei who took the initiative to invite Gu Qing and other partners to Pengcheng to discuss matters, so the atmosphere in the office was pretty good.

After chatting for a while, Yu Chengdong asked: "Mr. Gu came to Pengcheng early. Do you need any help? We Xia Wei don't dare to say anything else, but we will still find ways to help our friends."

Gu Qing nodded and said: "In 2016, the annual smartphone shipments increased by 2.3% year-on-year. Based on our cooperation, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have accumulated a lot of experience. I predict that the annual smartphone shipments in 2017 should increase by more than 10% year-on-year."

.

But this time, Mr. Ren suddenly invited important partners like us to discuss matters. I don’t think it was to give us big red envelopes, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chengdong's expression suddenly froze.

"He is indeed a genius, with rigorous logic."

After saying that, Yu Chengdong looked at Anhetang behind Gu Qing.

Gu Qing waved his hand, and An Hetang walked out of the office.

After asking his secretary to go out and take a look at the door, Yu Chengdong sighed and said, "Hey, Mr. Gu, you can see it, but you think those bosses can't see it?"

Gu Qing shook his head and nodded again.

Some of the bosses in Daxia are very smart, but they always do stupid things; some are very stupid, but occasionally do some smart things.

"The better the development of the mobile phone business, the more alarmed we are, and the higher the sales volume, the more cautious we are. But this time Korean Star's acquisition of GlobalFoundries has sounded the alarm for us."

After talking for a long time, I finally got to what I wanted to hear.

Gu Qing was no longer in a hurry and said: "From chip manufacturing to software design and operating systems, foreign countries are far ahead of us.

This time, that’s why I’m here.”

He handed a document he carried with him to Yu Chengdong.

Yu Chengdong's expression was calm at first, but the more he looked at it, the more his brows became furrowed.

After he read the document from cover to cover, his hands even trembled a little.

"Do you have the technology to make wafers now? Or have you broken through 12 inches to 18 inches?"

Yu Chengdong was astonished. If the young man in front of him wasn't a genius he recognized, he might have asked security to kick this liar out.

The most high-end wafer manufacturing plants now only have 12-inch wafers. That's it. The yield rate of manufacturers in Daxia is pitifully low. Now, if we build 18-inch wafers, isn't this a lie?

As we all know, the larger the silicon wafer, the more chips it can produce. Wouldn’t it be better to just make the silicon wafer larger? Have manufacturers not considered it?

Of course not, and the manufacturer has not considered it, but the characteristics of the wafer itself will limit the size that the manufacturer can make.

During the production process, the farther away from the center of the wafer, the easier it is for dead pixels to appear. Expanding outward from the center of the silicon wafer, the number of bad pixels will gradually increase.

Therefore, manufacturers will not easily expand the size of wafers when the technology is immature.

If the eighteen-inch wafer technology in this document is real and feasible, then chip manufacturers will save a lot of costs.

The latter ones are being changed, please wait a moment.

After fitting the robotic arm, two researchers were asked to assist in fixing it. Gu Qing pointed at the robotic arm that was thicker than an ordinary person's arm and explained: "If you want to perform ordinary movements such as twisting and grasping,

The robotic arm only needs a few motors and conduction modules.

But if you want to imitate a human arm, autonomously control the rotation of the arm, move the fingers flexibly, and provide a grip strength of about 50 kilograms and a pulling force of 100 kilograms, then the design and materials of the motor and the robotic arm will be a test.

The honeycomb pneumatic network structure is the muscle, the special steel is the skeleton, the nerve signal connector is the control nerve, and the intelligent feedback program can assist the brain's electric waves to perform fine control."

Chu Ci listened carefully to the side, looking at Zhou Wu's appearance, and unconsciously thought of the video of the Titan robot that the teacher asked him to watch some time ago.
