As we all know, the most scarce domestic resource is the lithography machine, and now most of the domestic resources are tilting to the chip field, and everyone wants to make a lithography machine as soon as possible, so that the domestic scientific and technological development does not have to be bound by chip resources, and can let go of the hands and feet to fight.
Lao Mei strictly controls ASML's technology exports to China, not only in terms of accuracy, but also in the number of great restrictions, which makes China's technology learning path very limited, but there is a company in this tightly sealed situation, in one go to buy 5 lithography machines, which makes many domestic companies, even Lao Mei are very confused, how to do it?
The purchase of lithography machines was blocked by Lao Mei
The company that purchased 5 lithography machines is a well-known technology manufacturer in the mainland, Yingtang Intelligent Control, whose main business is the production and sales of intelligent controllers for electronic products, and has strong technical strength in the professional field. However, Yingtang Zhikong is not willing to limit itself to the field of intelligent controllers, but wants to develop in an all-round way, when the state began to encourage and support domestic enterprises chip manufacturing and research and development technology, Yingtang Zhikong seized the situation and began to layout to the chip industry.
However, Yingtang Zhikong is a typical layman in chip manufacturing, and without sufficient core technology and rich experience in chip research and development, it is difficult to establish a large enough advantage in the industry. The most feasible method for Yingtang Intelligent Control is to introduce foreign technology and equipment, which can not only save R&D costs, but also ensure that they can enter the market faster.
Yingtang Zhikong originally planned to purchase a certain number of lithography machines from ASML and start to expand the chip manufacturing business, but soon this plan was shattered, because Lao Mei did not apply to Yingtang Zhikong to export lithography machines through ASML, and the transaction between the two sides on the lithography machine died.
Lao Mei believes that such an unknown small business why it needs a lithography machine, Lao Mei believes that the purchase of lithography machine by Yingtang Zhikong is directed by someone, and it is likely to be Huawei, so Lao Mei prohibits ASML from selling the lithography machine to Yingtang Zhikong, which makes Yingtang Zhikong have to change its development ideas.
Acquisition of Japanese semiconductor companies, drunkards do not want to drink?
At this time, a company entered the vision of Yingtang Intelligent Control, that is, the semiconductor company "Pioneer Micro Technology" under the Pioneer Group. Many people know Pioneer, its original main business is optical drive research and development and manufacturing, including computer optical drive, DVD, car player and other products, in the past for a long time, Pioneer products once dominated the domestic market, because the company name is very Chinese characteristics, so many consumers will mistakenly think that Pioneer is a domestic enterprise, in fact, it is a Japanese enterprise.
After the optical drive gradually withdrew from the historical stage, Pioneer began to try to expand its business, entertainment electronics, home appliances, car audio, etc. have tried, but most of them have not developed very well, and have not helped Pioneer Company to return to the peak. At that time, Japan was in a critical period of developing the semiconductor industry, and a large number of semiconductor companies emerged in Japan, so Pioneer also took this wave and began to enter the chip research and development and manufacturing business, but due to the fierce competition, coupled with the suppression of the Japanese semiconductor industry by the United States, the pioneer micro technology has always been on the edge of the cliff.
In 2020, Yingtang Zhikong reached the acquisition of Pioneer Micro Technology, and at first the outside world was not optimistic about this acquisition, because Pioneer Micro Technology has been in a loss in recent years, and Yingtang Zhikong's acquisition of it is likely to not only fail to make a profit, but also keep losing money. However, the reason why Yingtang Zhikong acquired Pioneer Micro Technology is not to value the profitability of Pioneer Micro Technology, but to look at the 5 lithography machines of Pioneer Micro Technology and the technology and experience of Pioneer Micro Technology in chip manufacturing, which will provide great help to Pioneer Micro Technology in the chip industry.
Breaking the blockade of the old United States for the lithography machine, Yingtang Zhikong can let go of its hands and feet to engage in technology research and development. What is more surprising is that although these 5 lithography machines are only 35nm, these lithography machines are not products produced by ASML, but lithography machines produced in Japan, which means that the core technical aspects of this lithography machine are not controlled by Lao Mei, if this lithography machine can be studied and copied, it may be possible to get rid of lao Mei's blockade of China's lithography machine.
Although this accuracy is only 35nm, the chips produced by this lithography machine are more than enough for the production and manufacture of automobiles, home appliances, and industrial equipment. Nowadays, after absorbing the lithography machine and technology of pioneer micro technology, Yingtang Zhikong has developed faster and faster on the road of chip manufacturing, and I believe that soon we will be able to see the chips produced by Yingtang Zhikong.
summary
All in all, the acquisition of Pioneer Micro Technology by Yingtang Zhikong has added a new strength to the domestic chip industry. It is the existence of such a brave breakthrough enterprise as Yingtang Zhikong that the chip industry in the mainland can develop so fast, and it is hoped that more and more enterprises will catch up in the future and add a vitality to the chip industry in the mainland.
Breaking through the "blockade"? 5 lithography machines, we got our hands on
5 lithography machines arrived, this time it was Lao Mei's turn to be dumbfounded
