Chapter 1398 National Attention
In fact, Jiang Yanhai and Li Ruobai were not the only ones paying attention to the scientific research institute, but also all the high-level people above, as well as people who knew part of the Pangu program, but the Pangu program has not been made public to other research institutes.
At present, everyone is waiting for this test. Although the entire research institute is private, it is also part of the national strategic plan, just like Warwick's communication equipment technology.
Not all top technologies need to be mastered by state-owned enterprises. Even private research institutes can get support from special state funds for these advanced research.
So this time the production plan, the state directly allocated special funds, and then delivered to the relevant production enterprises.
In addition, the 7-nanometer chips currently have independent design property rights in China, that is, Huawei's Kirin series chips, so the chips for testing and production must also be authorized by Huawei.
In addition, several chip manufacturers also got the news, but they are not nervous. In fact, there are quite a lot of lithography machine manufacturers in China with designs of 14 nanometers or even above 14 nanometers, but these precision chips can only The production of some industrial chips actually has no market competitiveness.
Most of them are used by some domestic enterprises, and their international competitiveness is not enough.
However, if there is a research institute in China that can design a 7-nanometer lithography machine, then this thing will be a lot of fun.
It is a fact that the whole world knows that China can toss out any high-tech things, and then make their prices the price of cabbage.
There is really only one top lithography machine company in the world, and it is completely monopolized in production.
That is the ASML semiconductor manufacturer. The lithography machines produced by this company account for more than 75% of the world's share, and the remaining 25% are chips with low requirements. If you don't need top-notch lithography machines, you will naturally have others. enterprises.
In fact, the real high-end lithography machines are all produced by them.
But although ASML is a Dutch company, is their lithography machine produced by them? No! Although their lithography machines have the world's highest precision, highest production efficiency, and the most widely used, in fact, the core components in their lithography machines come from different top powers in the world.
For example, Germany provides the world's top machinery industry, the top Zeiss lens, and the United States provides the top light source, etc. More than 8,000 parts in a top ASML lithography machine come from different countries, and all of these parts are the most advanced. top.
Is it possible to produce domestically?
In fact, Jiang Yanhai can answer right now, yes!
This is really not bragging. With the continuous development of some material resources in Daqin, domestic new materials are growing rapidly, and the strength of scientific and technological production is also growing rapidly. As the only country in the world with a complete industrial system, more than 8,000 Parts can be produced domestically.
Of course, if you want to obtain the top level of all these more than 8,000 parts in China, you don't have the ability yet.
However, not all of the more than 8,000 parts are important, and the most critical ones, such as light sources and lenses, have no problems in China.
The remaining parts can be imported, because these parts are used in many places, and other countries do not prohibit them, but only the most critical parts of the lithography machine.
And now these things can be produced!
So when Huawei and other companies know about this, while keeping it secret, they are also looking forward to it! Because like Warwick, they have been stuck by the United States countless times! Why do they use their own chips? Isn't it because they are embargoed and they are not sold to them?
There is no way, I can only develop my own chip.
But the chips are now also foundry, because the top lithography machine ASML does not sell in China.
If China can now solve the 7nm lithography machine, then it means that everything that limits Warwick will disappear! And when it can be produced in China, it means that ASML is estimated to sell the lithography machine to China immediately, and obviously the domestic chip production will rise sharply by then.
So chip design manufacturers such as Qualcomm and Intel will not have a better life.
At least Warwick has started to use its own mobile phone sales to drive their chip market share. When other manufacturers start to use Warwick chips, then Qualcomm and other companies are waiting to be copied.
How many foreign companies have been tossed and closed down in this way.
To paraphrase the old saying, if you ignore love today, tomorrow I will make you unattainable, that's what I'm talking about.
Everything needs market support. Even some domestic state-owned enterprise systems allow some products to be developed and produced without market support, but it is naturally better if there is market support.
For example, Zhenhua, a heavy industry company, etc., isn't that the case?
Of course, the reason why several domestic lithography machine manufacturers are not nervous is because the scientific research institutes themselves do not have the strength to manufacture lithography machines. Even if they develop them, they will also authorize patented production. Said that everyone has a chance.
In fact, the top lithography machine companies in the world can't accommodate a few, even two or three. If it rises in China, ASML is probably going to die.
Of course, European and American companies may spend huge sums of money to keep ASML in order not to be subject to China in turn. This is the so-called democracy and the so-called market economy in the West.
To put it bluntly, the market economy they talk about every day means that when I trade with you at an advantage, I will trade with you in a market economy, but when I trade with you at a disadvantage, then there are various trade wars, anti-monopoly, Various routines such as information security have come.
You see, this is their freedom and democracy, so struggles are everywhere!
The manufacture of a 7nm lithography machine is very complicated, especially for newcomers in China, but they are not completely restarting production, but replacing an experimental lithography machine designed and produced before. Part of the key components, and change part of the control program and so on.
Therefore, the entire progress was completed in about 10 days. When the lithography machine started trial production, it was currently in the observation room where it was working, and there were more than 20 people waiting here.
Among these 20 people are the top leaders from several important electronic product manufacturers such as the well-known Warwick and Center in China, as well as the heads of relevant national departments.
Jiang Yanhai and Li Ruobai did not appear here, they are not suitable for exposure, they are in another room, and in this room are not only them, but also the heads of state are also waiting.
As for the researchers in the scientific research institute, they are directly on the front line of the machine, not in the observation room.
