Chapter 92: Take the Tianwang Mountain straight!


In an office, Zhang Dongning and Enron met Intel senior technical consultant, Mr. Seg Horton.
Compared to the generally younger team in Silicon Valley, Intel, an old technology company, has an average age of some people.
Mr. Houghton is in his forties and he is getting fat. On the desk is a family portrait of him and his wife and his two daughters at Disney.
Enron contacted Mr. Horton through his MIT mentor, who also graduated from MIT and is a predecessor of the same school.
霍 Mr. Holden has long heard about this genius who has been a Ph.D. candidate in Massachusetts at the age of 23.
In addition, there is another reason why Mr. Horton paid special attention to Enron, which is the star technology represented by Enron.
Nowadays, whoever is mixed in the technology circle, who doesn't know the name of this Chinese company, their continuous success this year can be described by miracles, which not only shocked the Chinese technology circle, but also caused Silicon Valley across the far Pacific A serious sense of crisis.
Mr. Holden and Enron talked about their MIT professors, and after feeling a lot of their school career, they went directly to the topic.
An Ran took out an English version of the test report and put it on Mr. Horton's desk.
"Technology circles are spreading. Xingchen Technology is going to be a semiconductor upstream. It seems that this should be your research results." Mr. Horton said politely.
"Please enlighten seniors." Enron said.
Mr. Horton flipped through the report quickly. After staring at a series of complicated data, he could no longer collect it.
The facial expression changed little by little and became more and more serious. When he read the last few pages of the measured data of the full synthetic photoresist, Enron noticed that his legs were shaking rapidly under the desk.
Mr. Holden pulled a tissue from the tissue box and wiped his forehead.
"That's the way it is ..." He exclaimed, then stood up abruptly, took the report and walked out, "the two wait a moment, I'll ask the CTO."
An Ran nodded, CTO is the meaning of the chief technology officer, a big boss in research and development.
The current Chief Technology Officer of Intel Corporation is Dr. Mike Marbury. He is also the head of Intel Labs, specializing in quantum computing, neural computing, and semiconductor research and development.
How high is Dr. Marbury's position at Intel?
Prior to him, the position of CTO was vacant for a full five years. This is because there are too many big companies in this company. It is difficult to convince anyone who takes this position. Until Dr. Marbury took over, Intel was in R & D. Finally there are leaders.
"It looks like there is a play." Zhang Dongning and Enran glanced at each other, and whispered, Enran nodded slightly.
Time is not long. Dr. Marbury, with silver hair, came to the office. His face was kind and somewhat female, and when he laughed, the corners of his mouth would rise sharply.
After all, in the technology world, most of the time, it is still the world of gentle technology homes, and companies like Xingchen Technology, which are composed of hard technology homes, are actually quite rare.
At the moment, Enron and Zhang Dongning are walking with the wind and the weak Enron has been exercising for more than three months, and his arms have started to have a small muscle mass.
The meeting between Xingchen Technology's hardware president and Intel's chief technology officer, the two company's super bosses, was unexpected, with a little smell of gunpowder.
Mr. Marbury did not mention the photoresist directly, but talked about his most concerned issue, the wireless charging of energy waves.
星 Since the launch of epoch-making super wireless charging by Xingchen Technology, the butterfly effect has been set off. The world is accelerating research and trying to catch up with the pace of Xingchen Technology in this respect.
However, so far, no second company has succeeded.
Although Mr. Mabry had a good temper, but he took a sigh of relief, he didn't understand. Why can't the same wireless charging module as Xingchen Technology be achieved with the strength of Intel?
Marbury and Enron spoke very quickly. Enron's fluency in English surprised Zhang Dongning who came with him. Zhang Dongning was also a genius. He spoke fluent English and German, and Enron's English level was obviously A few grades higher than him.
Mabry has seen the latest issue of the December issue of the Star Magazine, and he and Enron engaged in a fierce battle on the energy field fluctuations.
An Ran has long been accustomed to this level of confrontation, because in the company, Luo Jia pulled him at every turn to engage in brainstorming.
Luo Luojia will bring together the company's smartest brain, everyone is full of horsepower, and that crazy thinking intensity is by no means comparable to today's office-level dialogue.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the tough guy sky group, the higher-level brainstorming group has gradually gained fame and has become the object of countless technology companies to follow.
After a while, the high-speed conversation between the two gradually eased.
技术 People with technical backgrounds have relatively simple thinking. If you want to gain the respect and trust of the other party, please show your true skill.
Mabry finally understood that the young man with dark hair and dark eyes was far stronger than he thought.
At this time, Holden added aside, "Mr. Enron is my alumnus in Massachusetts. He was only 23 years old when he obtained a PhD in mechanical engineering and electrical engineering."
Mabri looked at Enron for a moment, and there was a noticeable change.
Unlike the United States and China, universities have wide admissions and strict exits. It is easy to enter colleges and graduates are difficult. Enron can obtain a double doctorate at the age of 23. It is definitely a genius among geniuses.
Dr. Mabry turned his attention to the photoresist test report on the table. He had already read the content of the report, a fully synthetic modified photosensitive colloid.
According to the research of Xingchen Technology, if semiconductor factories use this new type of photoresist, the chip yield can be increased by 2%.
良 For all semiconductor factories, yield is the most problematic problem.
芯片 After the chip is manufactured by the fab, it will enter the test phase. The engineer will use the ATE automatic tester to run the program given by the chip designer to divide the chip into two parts, good and bad.
The bad ones cannot be used, naturally they will be directly discarded, and every chip that is discarded is money!
After passing the test, the wafer will be cut and then sent to the packaging factory for system level testing, also known as SLT. In this process, scrap will still be detected and a second scrap will be carried out.
And with the improvement of process level, the yield rate is getting lower and lower. This is an objective law that the semiconductor industry cannot get around, even Moore's Law has its limits, not to mention the complicated semiconductor manufacturing.
Anyway, for those in the semiconductor industry, how to improve the accuracy of lithography and thus improve the yield is a never-ending obstacle.
Let's put it this way, if a semiconductor factory can achieve a yield of more than 90%, basically it will be set off for three days and nights to celebrate wildly.
Xingchen Technology's newly developed photoresist, don't look at the data, the average yield has only increased by 2% ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but the value of this 2% is simply more expensive than gold!
技术 In the case of technology approaching the limit, it can also increase by 2%. Each year, Intel sells hundreds of millions of various chips around the world, 2%, but it is tens of millions!
However, as an American company, the giant of the global semiconductor industry, it is not easy to convince Intel to believe in a Chinese company. That's why Enron and Zhang Dongning visited us.
"We will arrange tests as soon as possible," Dr. Marbury said.
可 "But it's Christmas holidays soon," Holden frowned.
Americans attach great importance to Christmas, which is the grandest holiday of the year, which is equivalent to the Chinese New Year. It is inhumane to have employees work overtime during Christmas.
Dr. Marbury's eyes were firm. "Our largest overseas factory is in Malaysia. They are not Christmas, so put them there for testing."
Wu Anran and Zhang Dongning looked at each other, and in the context of the growing power game, this step was not easy.
If it were not for the superior photoresist performance of Xingchen Technology, it would not have been possible to enter Intel's supply chain.
Anran and Zhang Dongning stood up and shook farewell with Dr. Marbury.
When I walked out of the Intel Building, the California sunshine was still bright. The two of them took a breath at the same time and felt endlessly comfortable.
Xun and Xinyang are different from the four from the bottom to the top. Xingchen Technology is from the top to the bottom, and it directly kills Tianwang Mountain in the semiconductor industry, Intel Corporation! Copy letter Yue chemical industry is headquartered by those international giants!
"Shin-Etsu and their new year, I'm afraid they can't make it through." Enron opened the door of the Lincoln car, smiled, and said to Zhang Dongning.
