Technological Supremacy Chapter 323: Semiconductor business from scratch

Just as Luo Jia hung up Wang Liguo’s video call, An Ran walked into his office with a smile and said to Luo Jia, “You were in contact with Lao Wang just now?”

“Yeah, ask him about the situation in Europe.”

“How is the situation? Should the piranhas in Lake Constance be cleaned up?”

Luo Jia thought for a while, “The spread of piranhas has been brought under control. As for the complete cleanup, it remains to be seen. After all, the lake is huge, and no one can guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net.”

“Seeing how happy you are today, have you made any new progress?”

An Ran stretched her waist and said: “You guessed it right, our passive component project has officially ended the laboratory stage. If you think there is no problem, then start the engineering stage.”

Luo Jia was startled slightly, and excitedly said, “The passive components are out? This is a great thing, let’s go, let’s go and have a look.”

The two left the main building and went to the laboratory.

It is now June, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter. As the temperature rises, the country’s electricity consumption is also increasing rapidly.

“It is said on the Internet that electricity prices will drop by another 10 cents after July 1st. Is this true?” An Ran set up a pergola, glanced at the big sun in the sky, and asked Luo Jia.

Luo Jia said, “It seems that the national team intends this way, but you also know that after a power generation array is built, for safety reasons, it will take several months to half a year of operation before the power department will officially accept it.”

“Considering that the peak period of residents’ electricity consumption has arrived, if the electricity price can be lowered before summer, the common people will definitely welcome it, but in that case, the trial operation time must be shortened, and the power generation device shall be inspected in advance, and there are some risks. .”

Anran lived by the sea for several months for the new energy project. He is very familiar with the process and follows rules in everything. He is not in favor of connecting the new power generation array to the grid in advance. Anyway, the lowest electricity price in the world will be realized sooner or later. Comparable In a hurry, some people in the authorities were too impatient to claim credit.

In any case, a sharp drop in electricity prices is always a good thing that the common people like to see, and it has an extremely far-reaching effect on promoting the economy.

In fact, the power generation project of the national team does not make money, and it would be great if it can reach a breakeven, but the low electricity price makes everyone feel happy, and at the same time, the development of industry and commerce increases tax revenue, which is a bit east and west. bright meaning.

Not long after, Luo Jia saw many small things of various shapes in the electrical laboratory. They were placed on trays with test numbers written on them.

Simply speaking, passive components are the general term for products such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, filters, couplers, and harmonics.

Any electronic components that do not consume electrical energy themselves, can convert electrical energy into different forms of energy, only need input signals, and can work normally without external power supply, all belong to the category of passive components.

In the entire field of technology, passive components are widely used. If you have disassembled electronic products such as mobile phones or computers, you will find that on the circuit board, in addition to chips and caches, there are many densely packed ants. Small things, those are passive components.

Luo Jia took the tweezers, picked up one of the trays, and watched it carefully under the light, then put the little thing down, took out her own Huawei foldable phone, shook it in front of An Ran’s eyes and said, “You know this How many do you use in a mobile phone?”

An Ran shook her head.

Luo Jia said, “Mr. Yu told me that 739 neon lights from Murata Company are used in it. You know, this is just a mobile phone, and more are used in computers. Don’t look at this thing. Small, but the annual sales are 22 billion U.S. dollars.”

An Ran scratched her hair helplessly. Passive components are a huge domestic consumption and huge output, but there are still a few important categories that have been unable to reach the international first-class level.

For example, what Luo Jia just said is the big shortcoming in the field of passive components in my country.

The Chinese name of is chip multilayer ceramic capacitors, ceramic capacitors and aluminum capacitors, which are currently monopolized by Japan and South Korea. Neon Murata and South Korea’s Samsung account for 52% of the global market share. The third place is Yageo of Wanwan Province, with a market share of 13%, followed by Neon Taiyo Yuden, TDK and other manufacturers.

An Ran complained, “If it’s not that there is no other way, we really don’t want to engage in passive components. There are no helpers.”

Luo Jia didn’t say anything. Semiconductors are different from all fields involved in Star Technology. Take electric vehicles as an example. Although Huaxia is not too strong, it is also a big player in electric vehicles. For several key technologies, Xingchen Technology will help make up for the technical shortcomings, and this industry will be able to become competitive and grow rapidly.

But semiconductors are different, definitely different!

The problem facing Xingchen Technology now is that this industry has to do everything by itself from the beginning to the end. Not only do they have no production machines, but they don’t even have such small things as passive components.

“Come on a little bit.” Luo Jia said to An Ran: “Since the laboratory stage is over, let Xingchen Electric send people over immediately to start the engineering and trial production stage.”

An Ran added: “Star Chemical also needs to come in. Resistive plasma, conductive paste, ruthenium paste and other upstream raw materials need several lines from Star Chemical.”

Luo Jia was speechless for a moment. Not to mention An Ran, he almost forgot. So far, the upstream materials of high-end passive components are also monopolized by giants, and Xingchen Technology needs to do it by itself. Fortunately, Luo Jia has a family Super subsidiary, Xingchen Chemical.

After continuous mergers and reorganizations, Xingchen Chemical has tens of thousands of employees, second only to chemical giants such as BASF in Germany, DuPont in North America, and Neon Shin-Etsu.

In other words, the subsidiary of Star Technology also has the combat effectiveness of the world’s top 500.

“Then let Xingchen Chemical join in.” Luo Jia said, “How big is the final scale we have determined?”

An Ran said with a wry smile, “We need at least six kinds of raw materials in the upstream, and more than a thousand types of passive components in the downstream. There are 460 types of passive components alone, and the country does not have the ability to manufacture them, so we need all of them. Xingchen Electric opened a production line, which is not counting the processing machinery for passive components.”

“What a **** trouble.” Luo Jia muttered.

“That’s right.” An Ran said, “The smaller the thing, the more troublesome it is, and passive components are not even the core area of ​​the semiconductor field, they are just peripheral accessories.”

“Semiconductors are really troublesome. Seniors Zhang Yuechuan and Lu Chengfeng have been engaged in research on lithography machines for several years. Recently, a generation of super talented Wen Chengling has joined, and there is still no end in sight.”

“There is also material science. Ji Ming’s group, known as the first basic science team of Xingchen Technology, have gone crazy since they knew that you want to make vinyl materials as the next-generation semiconductor substrate, and the pressure is the greatest. It is my junior brother Cao Yuan, after all, his major is graphene, and it is quite difficult to go to Anbang. The superconducting material he is in charge of is the key technology of the bottom channel of the next generation computing system.”

Luo Jia listened to An Ran’s words, although the hardware department hadn’t produced any results for a long time, but the interior was extremely busy.

When it comes to the semiconductor field, Luo Jia’s long-term strategies are no longer effective. The problem he is facing now is that ~Soverse.com~ can’t find a reliable partner like Huawei, and almost everything has to be done by himself. .

The reason why Xingchen Technology develops so fast is that, most of the products, Xingchen Technology does not manufacture by itself, but takes out technology and asks partners to make it. If the technical level is not enough, it helps them Technology upgrade.

Hey~

Luo Jia sighed and said: “The passive components are too troublesome, we try not to build them ourselves, we should find a few partners, otherwise it will take too much energy, there are currently four major passive component factories in China , namely Yuyang, Fenghua Hi-Tech, Sanhuan, and Torch.”

“Although the output and technical level of the four of them are very low, we have no better choice at present. I will ask Hong Tao’s business department to contact them when I go back.”

An Ran nodded, “That’s fine, at worst we can help them upgrade their technology.”

The matter was decided in this way. After Luo Jia went back, he called Hong Tao and asked him to arrange cooperation in the field of passive components.

“That’s no problem.” Hong Tao said, “We are the toughest group of men in the technology industry, and factories like Yuyang must have the opportunity to cooperate with us. However, once the news gets out, it will be considered an official announcement. .”

The whole world has guessed that Xingchen Technology is going to engage in semiconductors in the next step, but guesses are guesswork. Xingchen Technology itself has not made an official announcement. All projects are still in pre-research in the laboratory, and some complex projects are even under planning. stage.

“It doesn’t matter, whoever wants to know will know.” Luo Jia said lightly, “You go and find the heads of the four companies first, and I want to talk to them personally.”
