The domestic EUV lithography machine is coming?How does the state respond to this, and what does the foreign media think?
The lithography machine is the core equipment for manufacturing chips, known as the crown jewel of modern industry, which is created by human scientists after half a century of exploration. Scientists developed the EUV lithography machine to better serve mankind, but Western countries led by the United States regard the EUV lithography machine as a private item and prohibit the export to Chinese companies for their own interests.
At the moment when the competition between China and the United States in science and technology is fierce, the reason why we want to develop EUV lithography machine is only to obtain the localization of EUV lithography machine, and national science and technology enterprises can completely get rid of the fate of chips. At the critical moment of vainly trying to exclude China from the global semiconductor industry chain, the United States and Japan have made peace, and it is rumored on the Internet that Tsinghua EUV project will build a lithography factory again. What most people didn't expect was that this ** was also accompanied by comments from foreign media:"Chinese really shouldn't be bothered!"
The lithography machine is one of the most important pieces of equipment in the wafer fabrication process. Its main function is to project the silicon wafer design pattern onto the silicon wafer, and its accuracy and stability directly affect the process, yield and performance of the silicon wafer. With the upgrading of silicon wafer manufacturing process, EUV light source lithography machine has become one of the leading factors that determine the discourse power of silicon wafer manufacturing enterprises, and even a yardstick to measure a country's comprehensive scientific and technological strength.
In recent years, with the continuous fermentation of the Huawei tablet incident, the expectations of the Chinese people for the domestic EUV lithography machine have reached the peak, and they are always worried about the research and development process of the domestic EUV lithography machine, so they have mastered the new particle accelerator light source"Steady-state micro-bunching"Tsinghua University of the EUV project has been launched, and a lithography machine factory will be built in Xiong'an New Area. As soon as the news that a lithography factory will be built in Xiong'an New Area, it quickly attracted the attention and heated discussions of netizens.
However, just as the whole country was preparing to celebrate the advent of the next domestic EUV lithography machine, the national official responded, clearly pointing out that the news was untrue. The Chinese Institute of Electronics published an article saying that the Tsinghua University Lithography Machine Factory is a high-energy synchrotron radiation light source project in Beijing.
According to the official information, the Beijing high-energy synchrotron radiation light source project is China's first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source, and it is also the world's brightest synchrotron radiation light source, which is mainly used for scientific experiments and exploration of the microscopic world. Some people take advantage of the country's advantages, hoping that it will promote EUV lithography technology, completely break the scientific and technological hegemony of the United States, spread fake news to gain traffic, and cut the pink leeks of the Chinese people.
Realistically speaking, there is a certain gap between the global level of China's lithography machine industry and Western countries, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to create an EUV lithography machine with China's own strength. Taking the EUV lithography machine of the Dutch ASML company as an example, it uses as many as 100,000 parts, each part represents the highest level of the industry, but there is no name of Chinese company in the list of EUV lithography machine manufacturers of the Dutch ASML company!
EUV lithography technology, although cutting-edge, but not made by God, Chinese have the ability to do it, they just need time, you know, Chinese companies have mastered the three basic technologies of lithography technology (double phase phase, objective lens system and ** system), and in just two years, the domestic lithography machine from the 90 nanometer stage to 28 nanometers, and through a variety of ** technologies, can manufacture 7 nanometer process chips. It can also manufacture 7nm wafers through various ** technologies. The Kirin 9000S chip carried by Huawei Mate60Pro is likely to be manufactured by a domestic lithography machine!
Finally, I hope that no matter what industry is involved in China, we can maintain our own position, as long as we are united, others will not dare to bully us easily, after all, the taste of being bullied, only we Chinese have more taste.
