Rebirth of Northland Technology

Chapter 493: Equipment Company

Cheng Yongxing received the notice of the meeting in the administrative building and was at a loss, thinking that something serious had happened.

After arriving, several major principals were there.In the past, when the school sent people or appointed and removed personnel, it was Minister Liu Xing'an who sent news from the logistics or personnel side.

But this time it was Liu Xing'an himself, and he wrote a letter of introduction directly to himself.

Cheng Yongxing didn't quite understand what was going on inside, but he didn't ask either. This is already the norm.People sent by the University of Technology do not need the consent of Optoelectronics, although Optoelectronics has the right to determine the work of employees.

This right obviously does not apply today.After Minister Liu Xing'an came, there was only one position suitable for him.In other words, there are two positions, and one position is his general manager.The other is the general manager of the instrument company.

With a simple courtesy, the three returned together, and Minister Liu took the post.

In the next few days, there were non-stop meetings, first with the management of the Optoelectronics Research Company..

Next is the enlarged meeting of the equipment group and its subsidiaries.

After several years of development, optoelectronic equipment has become a giant in Fengtian or Bingcheng.

Optoelectronic equipment is a very complex structure, with direct departments, direct subsidiaries, and equity companies.

Therefore, the first round of introductions mainly focused on these peripheral joint stock companies.

After a round of capital increase and technology investment in "Precision Optics", the shareholding of Optoelectronics in Precision Optics has also been changing.At present, the shareholding of Optoelectronics in Precision Optical Machinery has dropped to about 50%.Because Precision Optical Machinery has introduced a new strategic investor, Chunguang Machinery Institute.

After years of integration, "Precision Optical Machinery" has become the most powerful lithography unit in China, regardless of economic strength or technical strength.The 0.8 micron lithography machine has completed the design and manufacturing work, waiting for the final product acceptance.It will soon be directly applied to forest wafers.

With the addition of the power of the Institute of Optics, the company will set up a branch in Chuncheng, relying on the strength of the Institute of Optics, specializing in the next generation of 193nm lithography machines.

In the future, precision optical machines will learn from the Tick-Tock strategy of later intel.That is, one subsidiary company uses mature technology to continuously develop new products, while the other subsidiary researches next-generation technology.

Under this strategy, the Bingcheng branch will follow the 436-nanometer laser route to tackle the 0.5-micron node and the next-generation 0.25-micron node.

Between 193 nm and 436 nm, there are several transitions, such as 365 nm and 268 nm.However, lasers of these wavelengths have not left too many marks in history and are not well known.

The leap-up upgrade method has also been adopted by ASML. They skipped 157 nanometers and went directly to 13.5 nanometers. It took ten years and finally established the dominant position.

At this time, the relevant theories and technologies of 193 nanometers are already mature, and they jump directly without much risk.

Thanks to the high profits of the LCD industry chain, Optoelectronics was able to start the wafer lithography machine project.Moreover, as soon as it starts, two projects are started at the same time.

————————

Optoelectronic equipment is located in Chuncheng and Fengtian, and there are also business modules (CMP branch).Because of Cheng Yongxing’s southward move, Chuncheng’s business sector will be transferred to him.

Cheng Yongxing and Zhang Yan accompanied Minister Liu to Fengtian for a walk, with the main purpose of visiting "Fengtian Keyi".

The business of Fengtian Keyi is relatively independent, and it has been developing independently in the past few years.

As Optoelectronics entered the wafer industry, the separation of Fengtian Science and Optoelectronics became meaningless, so the two units merged again and became one.

After completing the reverse acquisition of Fengtian Keyi, Optoelectronics is now a big business.Once the initial product, MOCVD ushered in a large number of capacity orders with the rising cycle of LEDs.

No matter it is type III or simple type MOCVD, it sells well.This result also puzzled many people.

When the Fengtian Scientific Instrument and the Optoelectronic Scientific Instrument were separated, MOCVD was prosperous. As a result, it was completely cold after the separation.When the two merge again, MOCVD will be on fire again, and it will be a big fire.Where does this make sense?

Keyi's LCD uses PECVD, which has been acting as a money printing machine for the past two years.Due to the withdrawal of "American Applicants", Optoelectronics has formed a de facto monopoly on this industry in the world.

The huge profits brought by the LED and LCD industries have enabled the company to make progress in wafer CVD and PVD equipment, providing a solid foundation for the optoelectronics wafer strategy.

In terms of technical ability and level, the optoelectronic instrument is actually the unit with the strongest technical capability in the optoelectronics department.

There are three reasons for this.

The first one is Fengtian.Fengtian's economic situation is not bad from a numerical point of view, but in general, it is not even worse than Bingcheng.

Therefore, the scientific research personnel of other companies in Fengtian are attracted by the high salary and high welfare of Optoelectronics.The optoelectronic instrument is backed by the two big trees of the Optoelectronics Department and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not so attractive.

Second, from a national perspective, all scientific research institutes are not living well today.The separation and recombination of the scientific instrument actually took another tube of blood from the Chinese Academy of Sciences system.

The third is the pressure of limited funding. The Chinese Academy of Sciences system is also tending to transfer some abandoned R&D project groups and joint projects as a whole.Over time, the scientific research power of optoelectronic instruments is also growing.

————————

Optoelectronics Technology and the two optoelectronics companies of Huge Hi-Tech have become the hope of Fengtian's industrial upgrading.

Minister Liu and his party were warmly welcomed by Fengtian Municipal Government.The Optoelectronics Department has three enterprises in Liao Province.The full-color sub-base in Bencheng has already started.

Fengtian belongs to the early electronics industry base in China.But these companies, even in 1992 and 1993, did not see any improvement in such a prosperous market environment.Therefore, the expectations of the local city government for the optoelectronics system can be imagined.

At this gathering, the management of "Huge Hi-Tech" also attended.

What makes Liu Xing'an more emotional is that the management team of the logistics department, he and the two minister candidates, actually merged in the photoelectric.This is something that no one expected.

The logistics department is nicknamed the Huangpu Military Academy of the Optoelectronics Department in the school, and a large number of former logistics colleagues work in the optoelectronics.Many outsiders are also interested in this curved route to save the country. The story of Qian Dezhi's ascent to the sky is still circulating on campus.Unfortunately, the taste of Optoelectronics has become higher.

Ding Weiting faced the old leader, and after drinking some wine, he began to complain.

He and Bai Xuecheng are rivals at school, and their relationship is not very good.After LCD's big division, he asked Bai Xuecheng for help several times to solve the problem of yield rate, but no response was received.

This problem of yield rate has stuck him for a full year.Later, the Fengtian City Government was in a hurry. It mobilized the forces of major universities in Fengtian to come in and jointly tackle the key problems. Only then did it barely meet the minimum standards for mass production.

Today the old leader presides over "Photoelectric Equipment", he hopes to get some preferential treatment in the equipment supply period and price.

The expansion speed of full color is too fast.The pressure on the production capacity of various equipment manufacturers is not normal.Neither "Huge Tech" or "Lin LCD" has a low priority in equipment delivery.

————————

The fourth-generation line of full-color to be launched, the product is a 29-inch panel.Its market can only be the TV market.

In this era, even CRT TVs are not so big.There will be 29-inch CRT TVs in later generations, but it has almost reached the limit of CRT.Not to mention, the viewing range of a 29-inch LCD far exceeds that of a 32-inch CRT.

Optoelectronics' LCD strategy has not only changed the layout of the notebook display market, but also affected the TV market and CRT picture tube market.All flat, super flat, and Trinitron tubes have lost their meaning.

At least, the historical event of Changhong's monopoly of CRT picture tubes cannot happen again.

Under such circumstances, a group of TV production giants such as Changhong found optoelectronic equipment and sought opportunities for joint ventures to build LCD production lines.

This is the case at home, and similar situations have begun to appear abroad.

Not to mention 29-inch, 19-inch LCD, the cost of crowded tactics, European and American countries can also support it.The 29-inch LCD panel that appeared 12 years in advance is no longer what a money printing machine can describe.

These are all issues that Liu Xing'an needs to face.

The anti-monopoly law, Quan Cai did not encounter, it may be the first encounter with optoelectronic equipment.
