"Mr. Hu, I believe in your strength, but don't put too much pressure on you, just do your best."

Wang Yi smiled faintly: "If the yield rate exceeds 85% before December and 40nm mass production is achieved, we will have a second large 12-inch wafer fab with a monthly output of 100,000 wafers."

"Is this settled?" Mr. Hu said with joy.

Wang Yi took out the contract signed by Director Qin: "Look, I have negotiated it with the Imperial Capital Management Committee."

Although this contract is not a formal contract in the legal sense, it is just a private agreement between Wang Yi and Director Qin, and it does not have much legal binding force.

But with this contract, Director Qin will naturally keep his promise and do his best to push forward.

As for this kind of thing, as long as Xingyi Semiconductor has output and someone is working around to promote it, it will be a certainty.

If there is no one to promote it, it will be difficult.

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

As Wang Yi expected, as soon as he left, Director Qin went to the leader above with the "agreement":

"Leader, I made a mistake!"

The leader was confused: "You always follow the rules and don't break them. What mistake did you make?"

"I was fooled by Wang Yi!"

"Wang Yi's fault? He also faked chips?" The leader frowned slightly.

"No, it was Wang Yi who tricked me..." Director Qin told the whole process.

The leader smiled: "Hey, what a big deal. As you said, if Xingyi Wafer Factory can really achieve mass production of 40nm process before the end of this year, and the yield rate exceeds 85%, it will be worth it. This is my opinion

, but also other people’s opinions.”

"It means that we are eager to let him mass-produce 40 nanometers, even if it is a large-scale wafer factory?"

"Yes!" The leader nodded.

"Boss, this is what you said. The land and hardware facilities of a large-scale wafer factory alone cost seven to eight billion. I can't carry this burden. Come on, let's write it down in black and white."

Director Qin breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pen and paper, and said with a smile.

"???" The leader had a dark look on his face, this kid has learned badly from Wang Yi!

Then he pointed to the door: "Get out!"

Director Qin: "..."

"Come on, old leader, I'll treat you to a drink when Xingyi Wafer Factory mass-produces 40 nanometers. No, let Director Wang do it! Forget it, his invitation will definitely exceed the standard, so I'll do it."

Director Qin walked out of the door with a smile, then put on his usual serious expression.

Only with his old leader, he was still as free and unrestrained as the newly graduated college student back then.

"This kid is not serious."

The old leader shook his head and immediately made a call.

This is a big deal, but it is in line with the policy, and incentives are given after the output is produced, so there is not much risk.

Coupled with his and Director Qin’s endorsement, this matter is settled!

On the other side, Mr. Hu was in a good mood when he saw the "contract", and his morale instantly became high:

"Director Wang, don't worry, it won't take until December. I will issue a military order to increase the yield rate of 40 nanometers to over 90% before the end of October!"

"Okay, Mr. Hu, I'm waiting to celebrate your success!" Wang Yi began to look forward to it.

"The 40-nanometer process is not a problem, but what I'm worried about is the upstream and downstream industry chains." Mr. Hu, like Wang Yi, has long-term considerations:

"One is the problem of photolithography machines. We can order them in advance. The new wafer fab is larger and requires more photolithography machines."

Wang Yi nodded: "The new wafer fab will be divided into at least two phases. The first phase will be delivered the year after next, and the second phase will be in 2015. We will prepare in advance and purchase photolithography machines and other equipment in advance. In addition, there is also the issue of photoresist

, once it gets stuck, it’s also a big problem.”

Mr. Hu agreed very much and couldn't help but said: "Dr. Wang, do you mean to develop your own photoresist?"

"Yes, relying on imports will only be controlled by others. If we want to retain the greatest say and absolute strategic security, we must achieve comprehensive self-research and production. I am prepared to invest one billion in the research and development of photoresist."

"Okay, I really saw the right person, Director Wang, you are definitely a semiconductor doer!" Mr. Hu was completely excited.

As a semiconductor guru, many people have approached him over the years, asking him to come out and be the technical director to develop semiconductors.

Even playing the emotional card, for the rise of Xia Guo Semiconductor...

But Mr. Hu didn’t believe it at all. How could he not know that 99% of these people were scammers, all trying to defraud scientific research funds, making money with semiconductors, and using his name to raise funds...

In the end, these people made money and ran away. He was not a human being inside and outside...

Such examples abound.

Even when Wang Yi came to him, he didn't believe it and was even full of doubts.

It wasn’t until later that I saw Wang Yi’s sincerity, the excellence of Xingyi’s mobile phones, and that Wang Yi was preparing to invest huge sums of money to build a wafer factory. I also saw that Wang Yi had no intention of raising money to make money. All the money he spent was on Xingyi.

Yi Technology’s own money!

Only then did Mr. Hu believe in Wang Yi and was willing to join Xingyi Semiconductor.

Whenever Wang Yi used the name of Xingyi Semiconductor to borrow money and raise funds, Mr. Hu would have run away long ago.

After all, that's what those scammers do.

For example, that bastard in the previous life first spent a huge amount of money to buy a high-end photolithography machine, introduced Mr. Jiang to join the platform, and then invested like crazy, making a lot of money, and finally ran away, leaving a lot of chicken feathers behind.

Jiang Laodu almost lost his life insurance and was so angry that he vomited blood.

This is also the reason why Wang Yi did not raise large amounts of money. First, the clothing, mobile phone and other businesses are very profitable. Xingyi Technology is not short of money and does not need financing.

Secondly, I am afraid of being suspected of raising money.

It is a normal behavior for entrepreneurs to raise capital, but it has been ruined by those assholes, especially in the field of chips and semiconductors, so that the public does not believe it, capital questions, and even the officials question it.

After all, I had been deceived too many times before. It was Wang Yi who also questioned and did not dare to invest.

But now Mr. Hu is surprised that Wang Yi has not only built a wafer fab, but also built a second large-scale wafer fab.

We are even more prepared to invest in upstream and downstream photoresist!

I can only say that he is a 100% practical person!

For a moment, Mr. Hu was completely excited.

He has long wanted to see the complete rise of semiconductors in the mainland, but unfortunately he has no money and no practical entrepreneurs willing to invest endlessly.

But now, there is!

It's just that Wang Yi is so decisive, so he has to go all out!

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will do my best to build a wafer fab. I will also fully support you in developing your own photoresist!"

Hu Lao said categorically: "I have been working in semiconductors all my life, and I am familiar with all the experts in the upstream and downstream industry chains. If you want to develop photoresist, I have to contribute. In this way, I will contact a few old friends to see

Are they willing to come to Xia Kingdom to develop?"

"Thank you." Wang Yi smiled. It would be much easier if Mr. Hu came forward to recruit people personally.

Every circle has its own sign, and Mr. Hu is the gold-lettered sign of the semiconductor circle.

Even his students are great names!

"It's all what I should do." Mr. Hu said, changing the subject: "If Director Wang wants to completely get rid of external dependence, he must also invest in silicon wafers. Especially 12-inch large silicon wafers, which currently have to rely on imports.

"

"Yes, this is also a big problem!" Wang Yi nodded.

The production of chips is divided into multiple links.

The first step is to prepare silicon wafers. The silicon wafers are processed into mature wafers through a series of processes. The mature wafers are then tested, divided, and packaged into chips.

Generally, wafer factories purchase silicon wafers directly.

At present, 8-inch silicon wafers can still be produced in China, but 12-inch silicon wafers cannot be produced in China.

In the previous life, in the fourth quarter of 2017, Modu Xinsheng mass-produced 12-inch silicon wafers, achieving a domestic breakthrough.

Therefore, the 12-inch silicon wafers from Xingyi Wafer Factory can only be imported.

In recent years, many countries have been selling them, and the competition is fierce, so that’s okay.

But once it gets stuck, it's also very troublesome.

And Modu Xinsheng was founded by Mr. Zhang, the founder of SMIC!

After Mr. Zhang was forced to quit SMIC by TSMC Mr. Zhang, his blood has not yet cooled down.

We know that SMIC's chip production is only one part of the process, and it still requires upstream and downstream industries.

For example, upstream silicon wafer production and downstream packaging and testing.

Therefore, in 2014, Zhang Lao teamed up with two A-share listed companies, Modu Xinyang and Xingsen Technology, and Xinan Technology, a subsidiary of the Modu Microsystems Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to jointly establish Shanghai Xinsheng and officially enter the field of large semiconductor wafers.
