Chapter 608 Loongson International’S Difficulties
Zhang Rujin works in semiconductors.
Of course he knows very well how difficult and laborious it is to design an advanced chip.
He even believed firmly.
Facing something so difficult.
Unless you have a very mature team, it is simply impossible to complete.
Whether he once worked at Texas Instruments or later founded World Semiconductor in the Baodao area, he has a deep understanding of it.
No.
It has been many years since I came to mainland China to start a business.
With the strong support of the Shanghai Municipal Government, Loongson International has developed very rapidly.
But currently.
Loongson International’s best products are 90rm and -65nm chips.
As for 45nm-level chips, it is very difficult for Loongson International.
Zhang Rujin thinks.
If a team wants to completely produce chips, it will take at least 20 to 30 years.
The first 10 years.
It is to cultivate teams and cultivate talents.
During this period, it is unlikely that any major achievements will be made.
The second 10 years.
It is to form a perfect production system.
Only at this time can we have the ability to produce chips.
Then, based on the solid foundation laid in the previous 10 years, we began to work towards the forefront of technology.
Just like the current Loongson International.
Just in the first 10-year period.
But why did Loongson International have the ability to produce chips during this period?
Although not as good as first-tier members such as Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Intel.
But it can be considered the second echelon.
According to his theory.
The current Loongson International should not have this ability, but it happens to have it.
It was not Loongson International that broke Zhang Rujin’s theory.
Rather!
This kind of production capacity was accumulated by Zhang Rujin more than 10 years ago.
I have worked at Texas Instruments for 20 years and accumulated rich experience.
Later, he founded Shida Semiconductor Company in Baodao.
And under his leadership, Shida Semiconductor has become the third largest semiconductor company in the Baodao area after Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and UMC.
Zhang Rujin’s various experiences and his arrival in the mainland with a mature team.
This laid a solid foundation for Loongson International to have its current strength.
This is the key to why Loongson International can skip the first stage and directly enter the second 10-year development period!
Without Zhang Rujin and the team he brought.
It is simply impossible for Loongson International to develop to its current scale in just 8 years!
This is why.
Later, people called Zhang Rujin and Jiang Shangzhou the founders of the domestic film industry.
Because if it weren’t for Zhang Rujin.
Longguo's chip industry will still lag behind by 5 to 10 years on its original basis.
Precisely because he knew the difficulty of designing and manufacturing chips, Zhang Rujin was extremely shocked when Blue Star Electronics came up with a 32nm chip design plan.
Is Blue Star Electronics a semiconductor company?
no!
Has Lu Yi worked in the semiconductor industry before?
No!
But that's the case.
Blue Star Electronics, founded by Lu Yi, was completed in just a few years while other semiconductor companies took more than ten or twenty years to complete.
Not just finished walking.
And it goes further than others!
So much so.
Directly catching up with Intel, the first-tier giant.
There is simply no place to reason.
Lu Yi looked at Zhang Rujin and asked: "Professor Zhang, how long will it take for your company Loongson International to produce the corresponding chips according to the design plan of Blue Star Electronics?"
These words.
Zhang Rujin looked helpless.
"Brother Lu!"
"To be honest, with our current technology at Loongson International, the most advanced chips we can produce are only at the 45nm level, but..."
0……Please give me flowers………………
"The yield rate is quite impressive!"
Speaking of which.
Zhang Rujin couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"At present, the most mature technology of our company is 90nm, which is already ready for mass production."
“As for 65nm, in the third quarter of this year, it has also entered the ‘process verification’ stage of low-power technology.”
"Currently, production has begun."
"As for the 32nm chip design plan, Loongson International may have to wait until three to five years to actually produce it."
Zhang Rujin said helplessly.
no way.
Loongson International's technical strength is really too thin.
0.....0
To say three to five years is a bit exaggerated.
even.
Loongson International needs to spend money to purchase other people's 32nm technology designs in order to achieve this goal.
it is as expected.
Lu Yi sat on the sofa and took a long breath.
There is no problem in making chips at 90nm.
But the size and power consumption of the chip are very large.
Generally it is not used in computers and mobile phones, but in some mechanical equipment.
If there are still companies whose mobile phone chips are made using the 90nm process, they will really be laughed out of their minds.
"certainly."
"With this information provided by Blue Star Electronics, the time it takes for Loongson International to produce 32nm chips can be shortened a lot.
“The key is that the current process accuracy of our company’s optical technology equipment cannot meet this requirement.
"In the chip field, a high-end photolithography machine is very important for a wafer factory company like us."
"because."
"Without high-end lithography machines, even if we have the ability to design 32nm, 28nm, or even more advanced chips, we will not be able to produce them."
"Because the accuracy of the equipment does not meet the requirements, we cannot carve such a fine circuit."
"It's just like a clever woman can't make a meal without rice."
Zhang Rujin added. .
