Chapter 447 Never disappoints!

Lu An certainly knew the precedents that Rebs said.

GF's full name is global foundries, the Chinese name is Grofond, which was split from Amd and was jointly invested and established with the UAE Advanced Technology Investment Company (Atic) and Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala).

In the 32nm process, because the frequency and voltage were too different from the design, AMD had to give up a whole generation of low-power apu and redesign it to find TSMC foundry.

In the first generation of TSMC's 40/28nm process, there were also many problems, very immature, and its production capacity could not keep up at all, and it even affected the entire semiconductor industry.

Therefore, he could understand Rebs' ambition.

Because it is hard to say that mature slice designs are delivered to OEMs, but there will be no more problems.

Lu An even understood that Rebs spent 20 billion US dollars, and gave up Xiaomi's 3rd and 4th generations to fully support the laboratory.

Because, mastering the core is the real new domestic product!

However, Rebs and Xiaomi executives did not expect that the speed of mobile phone manufacturers such as ov, Huawei would be so fast.

Especially the ov of the same boss, the marketing model is so terrifying and the counterattack is so fierce that it is simply fucking.

Lu An chuckled.

"Lao Lei, I agree with your approach very much. It's just my fault. I didn't do a good job in grasping time, which delayed Xiaomi's time."

What he meant was that if he gave the chip to Rebs in advance, he might not be so anxious now, but Rebs didn't know this.

Rebs waved his hand and said seriously.

"You can't say that. It's Mr. Lu that you have the hope of being independent in the core!"

If the new Miui only makes some of Rebs' ideas hopeful to be realized, then the emergence of chips will completely make this idea a reality.

What is missing now is just the polishing of time and industrial foundation.

More importantly, Rebs knew very well that Lu An gave knowledge, not a one-time transaction.

There is no reason why Xiaomi can develop to this point today. If it were just a pile of mud, Rebs would not dare to have such ambitions.

"Let's go, the rest, say on the way."

Lu An just finished drinking the tea in the cup, and put down the cup and stood up and said.

Rebs: Black question mark.jpg.

What?

…………

Lu An got into Rebs' car.

When getting on the bus from the porch, Rebs spoke, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu."

The tone is very sincere.

He saw the license plate of the Bentley Bentayga parked on the side of the porch, Xianga a·99998.

It is natural to understand that this is the car brought by Lu An from Xingcheng, and he worked very hard all the way.

Rebs' business car is also completely separated from the cockpit and passenger cabin, ensuring absolute private space in the rear row.

Lu An took the initiative to raise the topic.

"Old Lei, make a decision. I still have time to make a plan."

Rebs was confused again, what?

"What does it mean?"

Lu An smiled and said, "Building a new 12-inch or expected 18-inch wafer factory starts with all the current foundations, and the mainland's resources are very rich!"

Rebs subconsciously wanted to refuse, such as huge investment, risks, necessity, and thoughts were just around the corner and immediately understood Lu An's meaning.

Fabs are not achieved overnight, especially if you really need to consider a 18-inch 450mm wafer, the investment risk and investment amount will be large, and the construction time will be longer accordingly.

Now is indeed a good time to lay out the industrial chain.

If Rebs' ambition is to target Apple and Apple's 92% profit exclusively, then these layouts are necessary.

Rebs sighed and said.

"Compared with Mr. Lu, my thoughts are really not up to the times, I am old!"

Lu An just laughed and didn't say anything.

Will you do it too with an expansion blow?

Rebs laughed, too.

"I will consider this matter again. If Xiaomi is the dominant player, there will be a lot of trouble, especially Xiaomi's equity, which has always been an important factor restricting Xiaomi's development.

So, take this piece of meat with Huawei and other companies to eat together!”

Lu An nodded, "Mr. Lei has a high level, I didn't think so much."

He understood what Rebs meant. A such a powerful company with such a clear equity would indeed not reassure some people.

This is also one of the main reasons why Xiaomi focused on the lab and was knocked down from the altar in the 3rd and 4th generations.

Huawei has HiSilicon Kirin. Although it is only a factory-free semiconductor, it cannot be denied its capabilities in hardware chip circuit design, etc.

…………

Lu An pondered for a while and spoke something selectively.

"Lao Lei, I did not know much about the things on the lithography production line before, but after you called me, I looked for information. It was okay, it was not difficult."

Lu An's tone was very relaxed, and Rebs also relaxed a lot.

He has already gained a certain degree of immunity to Lu An's excellence in some technical fields.

Miui optimization, 5g, chip design and testing, etc., it is not an exaggeration to master another lithography production line now.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for being considerate!"

This time, because it was a weekend, and I was in a hurry, Rebs' driver level was OK, so I rushed to Xiaomi's Secret Laboratory one hour and ten minutes later.

It is still the dilapidated factory, the same security checkpoint, or the main body of the laboratory that is still unknown how many meters underground.

I went directly to the chip department area. The difference is that this time, Rebs took Lu An and turned left and right, and entered another area.

Xiaomi 12-inch wafer fab, a 12-inch wafer fab with three production lines, has now been launched, and the remaining two are to be activated!

Originally, Xiaomi also considered another 16nm or 14nm this year, and was ready to keep up with the mainstream step in one step. This time, it was really done in one step.

…………

After entering the 7nm production workshop, what I saw was the nxe3400b standing there, and the asml logo that could be seen everywhere in the corresponding equipment packaging box.

After Lu An looked at Rebs a few times, he looked at Rebs on the side, "Old Lei, bring the engineer in charge of lithography production in the chip department here. I'm short of time this time, so I won't keep it from hiding and teaching at the same time."

He paused, and he said again.

"My current understanding of lithography production lines is less than 35%, which just allows everyone to understand the lithography process of 7nm and 10nm. As for a better industrial foundation, I have to wait. It just so happens that Xiaomi engineers also need time to study!"

Rebs glanced at Lu An deeply and said.

"Mr. Lu, you have never disappointed people!"

...In the next two days, Lu An almost never left the two workshops of the 12-inch wafer factory belonging to the chip department.

The priority of starting installation and debugging is the 7nm nxe3400b and corresponding etching machines.

Some people in the chip department know Lu An and have also seen Lu An's excellence in chip testing. This time, I saw Lu Anxin again picking up his hands to arrange for them to install the lithography production line.

Don't mention the surprise in your heart.

Their expressions evolved probably: suspicion - surprised - afraid that it was not a great god - wow, kneel down to the great god - can the great god take me - am I a stick?.gif!

nxe3400b is more important and is also the most expensive thing this time. Lu An is the installation step by step, and the initial stage of debugging is even more personal.

He didn't know how to do it best, but he knew that it would be fine to teach everyone as a foundationless person.

In fact, engineers in these chip departments have never been exposed to nxe3400b, which is almost without foundation.

After the 7nm production line was debugged, Lu An kept leading the engineers to debug nxe3350b. This time, Lu An rarely did it himself and ordered and arranged it from the side.

In a total of 63 hours, the two production lines were successfully installed and debugged and could be officially put into production...

At that moment, the applause was thunderous!

============

Today, it's too late, and I'm almost cold.

A broken bowl is still something to be given.
Chapter completed!
