Beijing TA Science and Technology Industrial Park is a science and technology industrial park invested and built by TA. It is located next to the area with the highest concentration of universities in Beijing.

The entire industrial park is quite large in terms of area, and Mota Microelectronics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is located in this industrial park.

In addition, the Beijing Branch of Mota Technology Research Institute is also located in this industrial park.

The entire industrial park is not blocked by walls, but is open.

There are many buildings under construction in the industrial park.

At this time, Chen Huaiqing came to Mota Microelectronics Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Mota Microelectronics is one of those companies that is not very eye-catching in the world, but this company has gathered China's most cutting-edge talents in the field of lithography machines.

At this time, in terms of the number of domestic R&D personnel, it will definitely not be as good as it will be thirty years later, but in terms of quality, it will definitely be exceeded.

Maybe it’s because the sense of belief is much stronger!

Motta Microelectronics Company is a joint-stock enterprise, and its largest shareholder is Motta Group.

Chen Huaiqing doesn't know much about lithography machines. There are more lithography machine companies on the market than Chen Huaiqing imagined.

In Chen Huaiqing's impression, the global photolithography machine companies seem to be two companies, Al and Neon, and the other one is Hua.

But now, there are quite a few companies around the world that can manufacture photolithography machines.

Since everyone can do it, it shows one thing: photolithography machines are not an unattainable product at this time.

Motta Group has invested one billion in Motta Microelectronics to develop photolithography machines.

Chen Huaiqing's huge investment has really made many people wonder, is this lithography machine really that important?

Rather than investing so much money in the research and development of photolithography machines, it would be better to go abroad and buy them directly. With this kind of money, you can buy hundreds of them and come back, which will be enough for any use.

At this time, Hua's external environment was pretty good. Although it was restricted to buy high-tech equipment, it didn't seem to be that big of a deal.

Basically, it seems that everything China wants to buy can be bought.

reason?

One, the Soviet Union is still there and needs to win over China.

Second, China itself does not need the most advanced equipment. Even if it introduces technology, it is technology that was developed abroad many years ago.

Why not introduce the most advanced technology?

An advanced technology is expensive, and in addition, if you can’t understand the most advanced things in your hands, it might as well be technology from more than ten years ago, so that China itself can digest it.

If you don't have a good appetite, don't eat randomly.

I can only digest porridge but insist on eating dry rice. Isn't this a problem?

If you introduce relatively less advanced technology, anyone will sell it!

Selling outdated technology to make money is such a good thing, only a fool would not sell it.

Even though it is a backward technology in foreign countries, it is still advanced in China.

Since you can buy "advanced technology" from abroad, why should you develop it yourself?

Investing money in research and development now is useless. No matter how much money you invest, you can't catch up with others. It's better to just use money to buy technology.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

According to normal principles, it is really difficult to catch up now after lagging behind others for twenty or thirty years.

People at this time felt that China was completely backward in the field of science and technology.

Many people immediately lost hope of catching up.

Adhering to the principle of joining if you can't beat it, many people went abroad and never came back.

Although in many fields, China at this time did have a lot of gaps compared to the world's most advanced countries in science and technology.

But in some fields, the technology is also very good and has reached the world's advanced level.

For example, in terms of photolithography machine technology, there is a gap between it and the world's most advanced level at this time, but it does not form a huge gap.

After the establishment of Mota Microelectronics, the research and development of photolithography machines has been in an accelerated development process.

After all, Mota Microelectronics’ R&D funding is an investment regardless of cost.

Also, the salary for R&D personnel has been improved by several levels. Although the salary level is still several times lower than that in the United States, there are other benefits.

Medical care, elderly care, education, and housing have all been taken care of.

"This lithography machine was developed in accordance with the requirements of Motta Semiconductor and will be officially delivered in the second half of this year."

For R&D personnel, when engaging in R&D in the past, sometimes they simply didn’t know what to develop.

Just focus on a certain foreign product for research and development, and if you come up with an equivalent product, it will be considered a success.

As for how to use things after they are made, it seems that no one has thought about it.

Now, Mota Microelectronics is engaged in research and development with a strong purpose, focusing on market needs.

Whatever customers need, Mota Microelectronics will develop it.

We even proactively upgrade based on customer needs.

After the product is sold for money, the R&D personnel can also receive dividends. Under the stimulation of money, everyone is very motivated at this time.

Because at Mota Microelectronics, in addition to salary, there are also bonuses.

Bonuses are divided into two types: project bonuses and technology bonuses.

The project bonus is divided into proportion after the project is completed and sold on the market.

The technology bonus means that as long as a new technology is developed, you can get a bonus.

Of course, if the technology is very effective in commercialization, there will be technology sharing later.

Everyone is working hard to develop new technologies.

Chen Huaiqing flipped through the technical information in his hand. This was a back-end lithography machine, specialized in making chips.

Today's chips are naturally inferior to what they will be more than thirty years later. The chips mounted on civilian products have all entered the 5-nanometer process technology era on a large scale.

Even some expensive electronic products already use 3-nanometer chips.

Chip manufacturing technology is advancing towards 1 nanometer.

We are constantly approaching the physical limits of silicon chips.

Of course, with the advancement of technology, physical limits are also constantly being refreshed.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is the entire photolithography machine domestically produced?"

"Sixty percent of the parts are domestically produced."

Chen Huaiqing frowned, this was not enough.

According to his expectations, it must be 100% now no matter what.

As a company, if it is just pursuing profits, it can naturally purchase parts and components at will.

However, since its establishment, Mota Microelectronics has not been a company purely pursuing profits.

In other words, making money or something, Chen Huaiqing has never considered this issue at all.

How big is the semiconductor market?

Let’s not talk about the global market for now, let’s talk about the domestic market. Every year, we need to import more than one trillion chips, which exceeds the cost of crude oil imports.

The number of imported chips exceeds one trillion, and the number of domestic chips is also very long.

Calculate how big the local market is.

This little money invested now is nothing.

As long as you succeed in seizing the commanding heights in technology, money will continue to flow into your pockets in the future.

Mota Microelectronics is indeed market-oriented in research and development, but this is just a strategy for its development and growth.

Today, Mota Microelectronics grabs an order from the market, so the opponent will make less money for a photolithography machine, which will weaken the opponent in disguise.

Chen Huaiqing: "The domestic production rate is too low. It must be raised to at least 90% or above."

Faced with Chen Huaiqing's request, the general manager of Mota Microelectronics also had some difficulties: "If we use domestic components, it may take more than two years to meet Mota Semiconductor's technical requirements."

"In addition, in terms of cost, some domestic parts are much more expensive than foreign parts."

It is the nature of market-oriented enterprises to try their best to cut costs.

If the market was truly a free market, there would be no problem, but the market would always be controlled.

There is no eternal rule for business operations. If you want to last long, you must consider various risks and prepare in advance for some major risks that may arise.

Chen Huaiqing knows the future too well, better than anyone else in the world.

Therefore, Chen Huaiqing attaches great importance to the localization rate.

Chen Huaiqing: "As long as domestic products can meet our technical requirements, even if they are more expensive, we must use domestic products. If we don't purchase them, how can domestic technology progress? If domestic technology does not progress, then in the future we will have to go

Purchase from abroad.”
