Vol 2 Chapter 139: : And its complex semiconductor industry chain

Chapter 139: Semiconductor industry chain
Qi Qiaowei was speechless and could only show the stupid side, muttering, "Is the mall game really so cruel?"
Ye Hua said lightly: "Want to be the final winner, this is the gameplay. Everyone plays this way. Since it is bleeding, it means that someone must be injured and pay the bill. Who is the rise of the coastline company? IMAX Big screen, traditional screen. "
"And now, cheese that has impacted a large group of people. There are no eternal allies in this world, but only eternal interests. Primary school students will say this, but the quality has not changed from beginning to end, and the interests cannot be permanently maintained. As a master of advanced management and super-strategic actuarial skills, you have to think about the day when the interest retention is broken, and start to prepare to sell it before the other party sells you. "
Ye Hua is right. Everyone is playing like this. PCs are impacted by mobile Internet and smart phones. The biggest victims are Microsoft and Intel. Now Intel has sold Microsoft and sold it cleanly. Abandoning other PC manufacturers, the concept of PHC swept through Silicon Valley and swept the world, and Intel's then head ran in person.
Bob Swan is a typical guy who sells teammates.
PHC equipment is the future. As for the traditional PC manufacturers, they can no longer bring benefits to Intel. Who cares about their lives? It's over!
衡量 From the perspective of Intel's interests, this is the best choice for them.
"You just said that you can handle chip development." After a while, Qiao Wei changed a topic. Before, he did say that chip development is not a problem when it comes to technology development. She has no reservations about Ye Hua. Believe that there is no reason but to believe that he can do it.
Qiao Wei thought for a while and then continued: "Since it is not technically difficult, then should we do both-handed preparations, after all, we have mastered chip production and manufacturing, and we can also prepare for critical moments, so as not to be uncomfortable with Intel's neck. "
Qi Yehua nodded, but slowly shook his head, which puzzled Qiao Wei.
"No rush, no rush. The first priority of this matter is not to consider technical issues, but whether timing is the most important issue. Although I can guarantee the development of new technologies, I want to put the technology forward. Turning into a physical chip that can be supplied to the market is a huge and huge project. "
"If we want to get everything from raw materials to final products, it means building a complete semiconductor industry chain ecosystem from scratch. This is a process that involves more than 2,000 The super engineering of the process, each process is coordinated by one or more production departments. How much is the input of more than 2,000 processes? How long? "
"In case we get it out of the blood, well, graphene material replaces silicon material, a guy and we all lost our bottoms, so the timing is very important, this is the first priority."
Qi Qiaowei couldn't help but raise her hand and covered her slightly opened mouth. Mei Mei was surprised. "It's so complicated to make a small chip?"
Ye Hua nodded and sighed: "Yes, it is more difficult to precisely coordinate production matching than technical research and development. I can solve the technical problem, but this is only one of the processes of the chip. In fact, Any country in the world, even the United States, cannot produce chips independently. Of course, the most advanced chip I said is because the most advanced chip is to involve the most advanced companies in each process at the same time. So far in any country It's impossible to be top-notch in the semiconductor industry, neither can the United States. "
Ye Yehua did have mature theoretical knowledge. He could quickly develop and design new-generation chips in his brain, but after the design was completed, the design drawings were turned into real products, which is another matter.
Just having near-omnipotent knowledge does not mean that a whole bunch of chips can be produced out of thin air. There are many things to do in order to achieve this step.
"No wonder our country ’s chip industry is so difficult." Qiao Wei nodded lightly. In other areas, as long as the Chinese people are determined to do it, they can concentrate on major issues quickly, but the chip thing has become an exception, indicating It is difficult to get the chip all the way.
Ye Hua couldn't deny it, saying: "The chip is extremely complicated. For example, we now buy 10-nanometer chips from Intel. Such a scale will produce about 1350 production processes. At 7-nanometer, it will increase to More than 1500 production processes; and to the 5 nanometer level will produce more than 2,000 processes. This makes the entire upstream and downstream supply chain of the semiconductor industry further involve thousands of industries. "
He said, Ye Hua stared at the palm of his hand and said, "What's in the upstream industry? There must be suppliers of semiconductor raw materials, there must be manufacturers of semiconductor equipment, there must be suppliers of wafers ..."
Ye Hua originally intended to talk casually, but seeing Qiao Wei's strong desire for knowledge, and constantly absorbing knowledge like a sponge, her growth rate was seen by him. In such a short period of time, she crossed the border for three consecutive times. From a stewardess to a secretary and then a manager, Ye Hua was also surprised at the speed of progress in such a short period of time.
Naturally, she couldn't do without her hard work and couldn't bear to fight her positive attitude of seeking knowledge. She immediately got up from her, took a glass of water, drank a few mouthfuls, and looked at the door of the office. Then she returned to Qiao Sitting next to Wei, she thought seriously and really shouted like several families:
"... So, no matter which manufacturer, all companies in the semiconductor industry chain must supply on time. Who can't drop the chain, the entire industry will collapse once any link is dropped. For example, the semiconductor raw materials, the supplier is Shin-Etsu Corporation of Japan, currently the only company in the world that can produce high-purity crystals, has the largest output and is the world's most important supplier. "
"How accurate is Shin-Etsu Chemical's semiconductor silicon crystal? As far as I know in 2015, its spar purity had reached an incredible 99.999999999%, nine nines after the decimal point, or to put it another hundred billion silicon atoms There can only be one number of Chinese and foreign atoms. This is the data for 2015, and it is definitely more exaggerated now. Such a high purity, so far in the world, except for himself, can not be produced by other countries. "
"This is a typical representative of an absolute monopoly in a few industries. Like the coastline company, our core technology for computing holography, our curved path algorithm, and our holographic software assembly industry are also absolutely monopoly."
"And these semiconductor giants must not drop the chain. If I ca n’t provide a large amount and provide this raw material to the market on time, then all the other companies in the semiconductor industry chain will have nothing to do. Can stop work. "
"In addition to my Shin-Etsu, there is also the Dutch company Esmor. It belongs to the semiconductor industry chain and is responsible for producing the most accurate lithography machine. It is also the only one in the world that can produce it. It is a lithography machine. Absolute monopolists, if it is not possible to provide higher-precision lithography machines on time at a clearly specified time, the entire semiconductor industry will also stop, and the chip update process will be interrupted. "
"So the entire semiconductor manufacturing system needs high-density, high-density, full-scale coordination and coordination. You need to produce chips. In addition to these, there are chip designers, and there are a large number of people who need to give you on time. Supply, production design drawings, and production standards can be processed. In addition to this, after the production of the chip, downstream packaging, testing, and so on. "
"In addition to the above, there must be a large number of system integrators supporting it, and the chip will be centralized in its own system to supply the market. There are also more external software designers, such as our software development industry I will participate in this link. After I have these products, I have to write software and assemble programs for this product based on the characteristics of the chip. Only on this can high-level computer languages ​​be used. "
"The real complexity is that such a complete system is scattered in different countries around the world, high-end production is concentrated in the United States, Japan, the Netherlands, Germany, and so on. With the participation of so many multinational semiconductor giants, neither party can drop the chain, otherwise This global industry chain was immediately paralyzed. "
"So it is necessary to coordinate countless manufacturers in different regions, hardware, software, thousands of upstream and downstream enterprises to cooperate together, this requires a highly sophisticated organizational management system to formulate detailed plans, and the core guidelines That's Moore's Law. "
"It is the responsibility of the old American Semiconductor Industry Association to coordinate this. The key members of the entire chain are coordinated and organized. The coastline has become a link in this industrial chain, but we are at the very end. This time Intel came It's the same. The big guys discuss how we should go in the future. They have already decided to take the PHC path. "
"For example, Bob Swan and I have made a decision this time. 5 nanometer chips will be delivered on time after half a year. Then the industry leader of Intel Corporation will coordinate and organize all the manufacturers in the semiconductor industry chain around the world to start at the same time. And one can't drop the chain, one that everyone GG, including marketing, market strategy, all supporting organizations must be responsible for completing their respective tasks around a core, this time around 5 nanometer chips. "
"The old guy from Swan vowed this time to promise to complete the supply within half a year. To be honest, I'm also a bit guilty. The more urgent this kind of thing is, the higher the probability is, so we have to be mentally prepared. Fortunately our link Customers near the terminal can do both hands to prepare a batch of cargo from AMD for storage and emergency backup. "
"Back to the topic above, so Weiwei you will see ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In addition to technical issues in the manufacture of high-end chips, a complete set of highly precise and highly coordinated organizational management system is required. Coastline companies currently do not have such a Organizational ability. I think that no single company in the world can achieve such organizational ability. It must be supported by national forces and national will to promote it. "
"This is a unique case in the world. Except for the semiconductor industry, no other industry in the world has achieved such a highly precise global cooperation."
"Do you know why I have started to prepare to sell Intel's teammate now?" Ye Hua said, and stopped to drink.
"Why?" Qiao Wei looked at him curiously.
The two sides looked at each other. After a while, Ye Hua smiled slightly and said, "The biggest problem facing the semiconductor industry today is that its global highly accurate organization system is about to fail, that is, Moore's Law is about to fail. Now, PHC has given it a life, but PHC will still decline like a PC in the near future. PHM is the real future. Do you think you should sell Intel? "
After hearing this, Qiao Wei was speechless for a while, and her heart was even more shocked. She found that she could never keep up with Ye Hua's thinking and rhythm, especially at the strategic level. He walked too fast, more than the whole era. Quickly, the first PHC product has not been released yet. He actually started to imagine and plan the vision of the post-PHC era?
With such a high strategic pattern and thinking pattern, and such a forward-looking nature, Qiao Wei can only tell himself that he cannot keep up with him and does not feel that he is not good enough, but that he is too good, even too good.
Suddenly fell into his talent, an inexplicable sense of worship sprang up.
Uh ...
