Luo Jia drove to SMIC. It was cold and Tang Boyun's secretary was already waiting.

After the doorman completed the procedures, Luo Jia and Zhang Dongning became familiar with each other and came to Mr. Tang's office.

Tang Boyun and Luo Jia are already old friends. After a little greeting, Luo Jia went straight to the topic and asked Zhang Dongning to take out the samples and explain the technical indicators.

Tang Boyun was relaxed at first, listening quietly, and nodding slightly.

However, after he finished hearing all, he showed an extremely shocked look and his wrists couldn't help but tremble.

"You mean, you have made photoresist for semiconductor factories!?" Tang Boyun's eyes lit up, and he stood up, and his voice was hoarse.

Photoresist is divided into six levels according to its quality.

Second only to TSMC, Grossfield and Taiwan Electronics, SMIC is the fourth largest semiconductor foundry in the world.

The so-called foundry means that SMIC itself does not have its own semiconductor brand, but is manufactured by Huawei HiSilicon, Spreadtrum, and other semiconductor design companies after completing the chip design, SMIC will manufacture it for them.

Super semiconductor giants like Samsung and Intel, of course, also have huge factories, but they mainly make products for themselves and don’t have much time to process them.

Intel, especially, has almost no foundry business. Samsung at least manufactures Snapdragon series mobile phone processors for Qualcomm. Intel's factory, just manufacturing CPUs on its own, has almost filled up its production capacity.

In short, in the field of semiconductor foundry, there is a super company, that is TSMC.

TSMC is responsible for the CPU of Amd, Nvidia's display chip, and Kirin's Snapdragon processor.

Under TSMC, Grosfield was the semiconductor manufacturing department of Amd in the past, with strong strength, and NTU and SMIC, are called the top three.

It can be seen that SMIC is by no means a good player in the semiconductor field. They are one of the top three semiconductor foundry companies. They are the largest company in my country's semiconductor manufacturing industry and can manufacture up to 14nm-grade high-precision chips.

Can the photoresist used by such a world-class semiconductor factory be a common product?

Absolutely not!

They need to use the most expensive and top photoresist with the fifth and sixth grades!

Other existences such as display panel factories are sufficient to be competent with third or fourth grade photoresist.

Luo Jia actually said that the photoresist they made can meet the harsh fifth and sixth level standards!

The shock this brought to Tang Boyun was so great that he couldn't believe his ears.

"You say it again?"

“Can we use it?”

"We have many lines under our property. Which line can be used?" Tang Boyun asked excitedly.

Luo Jia smiled and said in an extremely affirmative tone, "From the lowest technical level of your 120nm line to the 14nm line that has just been put into production, everything can be used!"

All available!?

Tang Boyun's heartbeat is accelerating wildly. Although the slogan of industrial replacement has been shouted for many years, semiconductors are the king of the technology industry after all, and it is too difficult to advance in this direction.

So far, almost all the machines, consumables and wafers used by SMIC have been imported. It’s not that they don’t want to replace them, but that they really can’t replace them.

China Micro is a national team and a company that the Chinese Academy of Sciences fully supports. They have fought their lives and won the etching machine. In terms of technical level, they have only caught up with the world's first-class, not leading, and not reaching the top level in the world.

As the most consumed consumable in the semiconductor industry, Xingchen Technology has actually created the fifth and sixth level photoresist. Can Tang Boyun not be excited? He is so excited that he is almost bursting.

"Do you know what this means?" Tang Boyun said excitedly.

Luo Jia said lightly, "From silicon wafer to chips, it takes thirteen processes, namely wet washing, photolithography, ion implantation, photoetching, wet etching, plasma treatment, heat treatment, fast thermal annealing and oxidation, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxial, electroplating, meter processing, packaging testing, and grinding."

"There are three most important process links, including photolithography, etching, and injection, and photoresist, repeated use of photoresist is required."

"And we have solved the small problems with consumables in the three major links for you."

Tang Boyun nodded repeatedly, and his eyes looked at Luo Jia with obvious differences.

This young man is an expert!

Obviously, Luo Jia has done a lot of learning and research in semiconductors, the world's top technology field.

"Small problem, you actually say that photoresist is just a small problem." Tang Boyun shook his head, "Believe me, photoresist is by no means a small problem, but a serious problem that has troubled us for many years! All the photoresist we are using are imported from abroad at high prices. Once the production line built with a price of 100 billion yuan is choked by others, the production line must be stopped!"

Luo Jia smiled, "Mr. Tang, please wait first. I know the price of imported goods is higher, but I didn't say that our photoresist must be cheaper than imported ones."

Tang Boyun was stunned and then laughed, "No need to be cheap! As long as the performance is the same and the price is the same, you will definitely use your Star Technology photoresist!"

"Let's go to the lab!"

......

Tang Boyun decided to personally preside over the photoresist performance test. After SMIC engineers learned that there was a domestic manufacturer who made the fifth and sixth level photoresist, they were simply crazy.

They only heard that there are several companies that can make third-level photoresist, fifth-level and sixth-level photoresist used in display production lines, which are completely monopolized by Neon and the United States. Tok, JSR, Sumitomo, Shintsuki, DuPont, and SMIC have always been importing goods from these companies.

“Which factory’s product?”

"I heard it is a subsidiary of Xingchen Technology. The factory is not far away, just in Qidong."

"Xingchen Technology? The Xingchen Technology that uses energy wave wireless charging?"

"It's them."

"Reliable! Although I haven't seen the sample yet, anyone who doesn't know about Xingchen Technology is always reliable!"

"Don't say so much, go quickly. I heard that Mr. Tang is very excited and wants to come out and host the test himself."

The SMIC quickly caused an uproar, and engineers began to gather at the experimental center. They changed into dustproof clothing, entered the laboratory, and conducted the most demanding quality tests on the photoresist of Xingchen Technology.

Luo Jia and Zhang Dongning couldn't get in, so they had to watch outside through the glass.

From time to time, people brought them tea and snacks, and many people Luo Jia didn't know at all came over to talk to him. Before leaving, they patted his shoulder to show their approval.

The test starts in the morning and continues until evening.

Luo Jia saw that the engineers wearing full dustproof suits in the experimental center seemed very excited, and kept raising their arms and then lowering them. Many people were watching around the laboratory, waiting nervously for the results.

It was completely dark. Tang Boyun and his technicians came out of the laboratory with an excited expression on his face, "Incredible, completely incredible. The data we measured were actually better than the top goods performance of Xinyue Chemical!"

Boom ~

The surroundings were filled with boiling, and the staff who had been waiting for a long time hugged each other to celebrate, as if they were happier than Luo Jia and Zhang Dongning.

What SMIC is most afraid of is that there is news about the trade embargo. The international situation is not good and others may be stuck at any time. They have encountered the fact that overseas manufacturers are raising prices.

"Let's go eat something together." Tang Boyun invited him warmly, "I have already made a reservation. After we have dinner, we will go online to the actual combat overnight!"
Chapter completed!
