Vol 10 Chapter 1404: UV light source lithography machine

With the arrival of 100 million US dollars, the Huaqing Institute of Computer Science has ushered in its busiest time since its establishment.
For two full days, no one had ever been free from the director Li Xueqian and the general researcher.
Everyone is preparing nervously, preparing for the upcoming transformation.
Lithography machine, a necessity for computer chip manufacturing, once the transformation is successful, China's chip manufacturing level will surely make breakthrough progress.
In the laboratory, Li Xueqian pushed in. He brought good news to Lin Qinglan.
"Professor Lin, we have contacted the asml supplier Kemes, and they have agreed to provide us with parts. Now the parts are on the way and are expected to arrive in China this afternoon." Li Xueqian said with a smile.
In order to obtain these parts as soon as possible, Li Xueqian has paid a lot of money. The parts that should have been US$65 million, he abruptly spent an extra US$5 million, just to get the parts quickly and complete the research.
It is true that money cannot buy time, but money can shorten time.
Hearing this, Lin Qinglan nodded and picked up the folder on the experimental platform: "Professor Li, this is the renovation plan I have compiled over the past two days. Look at it. If possible, we will implement it like this."
"No need, as far as lithography machine technology is concerned, I am just a layman. You are the expert in this area." Li Xueqian waved his hand and smiled: "We will do what you say."
To say that Li Xueqian is an expert in computer materials science, but he does not know much about lithography machine manufacturing.
Lin Qinglan is one of the experts in this regard.
"Well, Professor Li, let me tell you to see if there is any improvement." Lin Qinglan nodded and said with a smile: "This time we mainly improved the light wave frequency of the lithography machine, as well as the optical lens and Align the system and other parts. Under ideal circumstances, once the transformation is successful, this infrared lithography machine can be smoothly transformed into an ultraviolet lithography machine, and its accuracy can be greatly improved..."
Infrared light source is one of the first generation products of asml company. However, with the increasing demand for chips, infrared light source burning can no longer meet the needs of the manufacturing industry. Then comes the ultraviolet light source, which has higher energy and can be extremely Greatly improve the accuracy of burning.
Due to the international blockade, let alone an ultraviolet light source, even an infrared light source lithography machine is an extremely rare object in China.
An ultraviolet light source lithography machine, this is something Li Xueqian can't even think of.
"Professor Lin, can we really have our own UV light source lithography machine?" Li Xueqian endured the excitement in his heart and cautiously asked.
"If my assumption is correct, I think it is." Upon hearing this, Lin Qinglan nodded.
As the chief researcher of asml, he has worked in asml for 6 years and participated in the iterative work of all products of asml.
For every detail of the upgrade and transformation of the lithography machine, he is already thoroughly familiar with it.
If her plan is correct, the upgrade should go smoothly.
"Thank you, thank you Professor Lin, Huaxia will remember your contribution." Li Xueqian said excitedly.
