Talent is really important for equipment such as lithography machines.

Even though Xiao Feng now has a large number of cheating experts, he dare not say that he can build a lithography machine with these cloning experts.

It’s because this thing is too complicated, and so far, there are not many cloning experts in his hands that belong to the semiconductor field.

This is also related to the gene pool from this batch of cloning experts.

The cloning experts he currently possesses are basically in bioengineering.

There are also some physical and chemical aspects, and most of the others are force-type talents, such as space warriors, security experts, or spies.

There are also many economic management talents, but there are only lack of semiconductor experts.

Xiao Feng guessed that there must be other wreckages of other spacecraft falling on the continent of another world, and maybe there will be somewhere to find the gene library of other cloned people.

Otherwise, if you only look at these cloning experts, you will definitely be lame when you walk on this scientific path.

Because they lack too much in terms of semiconductors.

Although these cloning experts in his hands have overcome carbon nanotube chip technology, they have also made major breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.

But after all, the number of people is too small, and each expert specializes in different directions.

The problem now is that they still have great shortcomings in manufacturing crystals and lithography.

And this is just enough for Japan to poach and respond to the emergency.

You should know that although Nikon and Canon have been pulled from the altar by Asmay, they are not far behind.

Although I don’t have the best lithography machine of Asmay in my hand, it also maintains a technical gap that is only one generation shortest from Asmay.

In fact, the chips they can produce are enough for many fields.

It’s just that because Americans can now be wary of the Japanese, they don’t give orders to Japanese people.

For example, when IBM, Intel or Apple, when they need chips, their first choice is the special feature of that.

Why?

Because this is a pure chip OEM, they can't make any other products.

Moreover, they do not have their own brand in the electronics field, so they can only earn some hard money in chip OEM.

Next is Sansang...

The reason why Americans give Samsung chips less orders is actually the same as they are for the Japanese.

The electronics industry in the Southern Dynasty is very strong now. They now have a complete full industrial chain like Japan.

From crystals, to chips, to memory, and screens, they can produce everything themselves.

So if you feed them too much, it is difficult to ensure that these guys will not bite the Americans backwards like the Japanese when they grow up.

So in fact, the Americans have always been guarded against the people of the Southern Dynasty.

This can be seen from the number of lithography machines delivered by Asmay each year.

Asmay has only a few units per year, but it always gives priority to delivery to TSMC.

Although Samsung is also their major shareholder and although Samsung has enough payment for the goods, it’s a pity that the delivery order is, I’m sorry, it will always be the number one in TSMC.

On the one hand, Asmay used wet lithography when he started his business, which killed Nikon and Canon's dry lithography.

The person who invented the wet lithography method at that time was Lin Benjian, a talent from Baodao.

Another reason is that Asmay is on the surface a Dutch company, but in fact he is an American company that is absolutely undefeated.

So it was the boss behind them who decided who could get more goods every year.

For Americans, it is naturally TSMC, which is not a threat. The best choice is to take the lead in getting the goods.

This is also the main reason why Samsung is a generation or even half of the generation behind TSMC in terms of production technology and production capacity of top chips.

Because of the top lithography machines, they always get the goods half a year or even a year later than TSMC.

Therefore, in terms of production and research and development technology, they naturally lag behind TSMC for half a year to a year.

As for Japan's Nikon and Canon, hehe, I'm sorry.

You have to wait until Asmay fully supplies TSMC and Samsung before you can get the goods from Asmay.

When they got the goods, TSMC and Samsung had already obtained the next generation of top lithography machines.

This is the main reason why Nikon and Canon are slowly falling down now.

And now they basically can't get orders from American companies, and only IBM and Intel will give them some orders when Samsung and TSMC's production capacity is full.

I think that the big mobile terminal manufacturers, such as Apple and Qualcomm, basically don’t look for Nikon and Canon to manufacture them.

So now they can only survive by relying on orders from domestic manufacturers, and their main business partners are Sony and Panasonic, or sometimes they do some OEM for Toyota and Honda.

However, the main production capacity is given to their own camera departments.

Compared with the era when they dominated the entire chip manufacturing industry in the 1980s and 1990s, they are now truly finished.

However, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Don’t look at Nikon and Canon, now compared to Samsung, chip manufacturers like TSMC are not good.

However, compared with my country's chip companies, they still maintain their technological advantages of at least two generations ahead of the technology.

However, Nikon and Canon are also facing a problem now.

That is, after being overtaken by Asmay, the R&D department they originally attached great importance to is becoming less and less capable.

In the 1989s, when they were the overlords of the lithography field, both companies had very strong scientific research teams.

But later, as ASMA was overtaken by ASMA and the market was captured by ASMA, their R&D department gradually declined.

Now they have fallen to buy lithography machines from Asmay, which shows how their R&D department has not been completed.

This year's pandemic crisis has hit Japan's economy even harder.

Although the Japanese government has issued a large amount of subsidies to boost Japan's economy and prevent the bankruptcy of Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises.

But in just a few months, more than 300 small and medium-sized enterprises have gone bankrupt.

Life is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises, and life is also difficult for large enterprises.

Especially companies like Nikon and Canon with relatively single product lines.

It is precisely because of this that Shintaro Fukuen was working on these two companies and took a lot of people from their company.

When these Japanese technical experts heard that Chinese state-owned enterprises were willing to pay them the same salary as Japan, including food, accommodation, and insurance, they agreed without hesitation.

You should know that at their age, it would be a dream to find a good job in Japan.

But it is different to come to China. In recent times, the trade dispute between China and the United States can be known as long as you are not a fool.

Moreover, they know that China is now short of talents in chip manufacturing.

If Chinese companies in the past wanted to poach technical talents like them, they would not be able to pay twice or even three times the salary than before.

But now it’s different. It’s good to have a good meal in this environment.

What's more, China's economic development is not bad now...

So in just two months, with the help of Shintaro Fukuen, Xiao Feng had already dug a technical team of about 200 people from Japan and came to Xinghuo Technology.

And it is with the help of these people that they now have the ability to produce 28nm lithography machines.

Although it is several generations worse than the lithography machines of TSMC and Samsung, this is enough.

What Xiao Feng hopes is that these Japanese technicians can help them cultivate a group of their own talents at the fastest speed.

Then, under the leadership of cloning experts, the technology research and development continued to accelerate.

After all, those cloning experts may have shortcomings in some knowledge fields, but in the leading direction of scientific research, they are definitely better than everyone now.

In the field of modern scientific research, scientific research forward-looking, which is the so-called overall view, is quite important.

Some people may not understand what scientific research is foresight, but to put it bluntly, it is a guide to the direction of the next generation of scientific research technologies.

For example, Sharp was the dominant leader in the LCD screen field in the early 20000s.

When Sharp launched the world's first LCD TV in 2000, it shocked the world and became the absolute overlord in this field.

His former rivals, TV manufacturers such as Philip and Thompson, were all killed.

Who would have thought that Sharp would fall from the altar so quickly?

Around 2006, Sharp decided to use plasma LCD TVs as the next-generation main product in terms of next-generation LCD technology.

Samsung, who had been chasing behind Sharp, chose to press the treasure on the LED LCD panel.

Because they judged that although the imaging effect of LED is not as good as that of plasma LCD TVs, the cost is lower.

Consumers around the world have price-sensitive characteristics. Whoever has the cheapest price will win the world.

As a result, in 2008, Samsung's LED LCD TV and Sharp's plasma LCD TV were launched at the same time.

As a result, although Sharp's plasma LCD TV has good imaging effect, its price is high, so it is naturally a hit by the affordable Samsung LED TV.

In just two years, Sharp has been the leader in the market that once occupied 65% of the world's LCD TVs, and was defeated by 5.3% of the world's market share battle.
