JAPAN's R&D director, Lin Benjian, is not a simple man. Although his words are a bit arrogant, he does have the strength to be proud of.

Because he invented immersion lithography technology that changed the semiconductor landscape.

He also led TSMC to overcome many technical difficulties, and eventually TSMC's chip foundry orders accounted for 60% of the world's total!

Among them, the immersion lithography technology that was specifically mentioned is a technology that adds a high-refractive-index liquid between the silicon wafer and the lithography machine lens.

This high refractive index liquid effectively shortens the wavelength of the exposure light source, improving the resolution and accuracy of the lithography process.

Through this high refractive index liquid, light with a wavelength of 193 nanometers can be effectively refracted into light with a shorter wavelength of only 134 nanometers.

This immersion lithography technology breaks through the upper limit of traditional dry lithography, achieving higher resolution and smaller feature size at a lower cost.

This makes it possible to develop process technologies from 45 nanometers, 32 nanometers, 28 nanometers, 22 nanometers and even smaller.

So Lin Benjian is a super expert in the semiconductor field. Of course, just developing a key core technology does not mean that he can reach such a status.

After that, Lin Benjian did not rest on his laurels. He led TSMC's scientific researchers to keep up with the forefront of semiconductor technology.

TSMC's manufacturing process has always kept pace with the world, and its chip yield and quality are world-renowned.

Up to now, TSMC alone has accounted for an exaggerated 60% market share in the global chip foundry industry.

After so many years, he has finally become one of the three giants of TSMC.

Therefore, Lin Benjian deeply understands how difficult it is to make semiconductors well.

Even though Lin Feng has many amazing inventions in the past, Lin Benjian does not think that Xingtu Technology can achieve much in the semiconductor field in a short period of time.

Of course, based on Lin Feng’s past performance, Lin Benjian believes that as long as Xingtu Technology does not give up, it will strongly support the semiconductor industry.

Then in about 10 or 20 years, Starway Technology will cause huge trouble for TSMC.

On the other hand, seeing that his two old friends did not seem to attach much importance to Xingtu Technology, Zhang Zhong, the head of TSMC store, shook his head slightly.

Although he did know how difficult it was to produce chips well.

After all, he was the one who established this JAPAN store, and he knows all too well how many times he had to bend over and kowtow in the process.

Therefore, he has a deep understanding of how difficult it is for the semiconductor industry to develop and advance its process technology, and he naturally will not underestimate the difficulty of developing the semiconductor industry.

But the one entering the semiconductor industry this time is Lin Feng, who has repeatedly created miracles.

Lin Feng is simply a modern version of Einstein. In addition to the coin-fired electromagnetic rifle, he has also developed other products.

So far, no manufacturer has been able to crack their technology and produce similar products. It can be said that what Lin Feng developed is simply black technology.

If there were no physical objects, such as deep sleep aids, artificial intelligence Jarvis, and genetic enhancement drugs.

No one would ever think that they could really exist; they were only things that existed in novels. But Raymond Lam created them in reality. If this isn’t black technology, then what is it?

Therefore, the more he got to know Lin Feng, the more Zhang Zhong, the head of TSMC, became wary of him.

So he opened his mouth and said:
“You two, although Xingtu Technology will not be able to surpass us in the next few years, this is not a reason for us to allow the enemy to develop rapidly.

After all, the fact that there is Lin Feng behind Xingtu Technology is something we should pay great attention to.”

"So how do you want to deal with this matter? Secretly buy Zhongxin International's stocks, drive up the stock price, and prevent them from acquiring Zhongxin International?"

Wei Jiazhe, the current general manager of TSMC store, asked about Zhang Zhong.

“No, we don’t have to spend that much money to acquire Zhongxin International, because there are investors with a keen nose who will help us raise the stock price.

In addition, as far as I know, during this period, the shares held by the Daxia National Team may have exceeded 65%. Therefore, we cannot stop Xingtu Technology from acquiring Zhongxin International, and we can only be forced to admit this fact. "

After hearing Zhang Zhong's words, Wei Jiazhe and Lin Benjian nodded slightly to show that they understood.

However, when they heard that the Daxia National Team might have already held more than 65% of the shares, they felt regretful and helpless.

After all, this also means that Xingtu Technology’s official entry into the semiconductor industry is a foregone conclusion.

Although they believe that Xingtu Technology is not a threat within 10 years, it is indeed a threat in the long run, which is really a headache.

“I think we should ask for help from the United States. Otherwise, as a chip foundry, we will not be able to stop the development of Zhongxin International.

If the United States intervenes, it will certainly restrict Zhongxin International from purchasing various chip production equipment and limit their development speed.”

TSMC's general manager, Wei Jiazhe, gave his advice.

"That's what I was thinking. After all, our TSMC store alone cannot curb the development of Zhongxin International.

Next, we need to mobilize all our connections, and even spend some money as special event funds, to promote the Daxia chip threat theory. "

TSMC's head, Chang Chung-mou, announced his decision, which was also recognized by his two old friends.

So the TSMC store began to work busily, and a conspiracy against Starway Technology was about to unfold.

……

A few days later, on November 2015, 11.

Xingtu Technology announced that it spent a total of 360 billion yuan to successfully acquire 76.5% of Zhongxin International's shares.

Subsequently, Xingtu Technology officially announced the reorganization and renaming of Zhongxin International, and the new name was Xingtu Semiconductor.

In response to this, some people in the technology circle applauded and supported Xingtu Technology's decision.

But some people oppose Xingtu Technology's decision and even are not optimistic about the development of Xingtu Semiconductor.

Of course, no matter what the outside world thinks, it will not affect the reorganization of Xingtu Technology.

Among them, many management personnel were eliminated because in the era of artificial intelligence, not so many management personnel are needed.

In the Xingtu Technology system, both Xingtu Gene Company and the previously acquired Xiaojiang Drone Company adopt a flat management system.

The so-called flat management system is a system that greatly reduces the existence of middle management and allows the will of the top level to directly fall on a certain individual.

This flat management system was difficult to implement before the information age, after all, communication was inconvenient.

And in the era of artificial intelligence, this flat management system has room to emerge.

Among them, the flat management system is the model that saves the most labor costs and has the highest combat effectiveness.

Just like in ancient times, the more intermediate management levels there are between the central court and the people, the more likely it is that corruption and oppression of the people will occur.

It’s not that many people are unpatriotic, but those in the middle class are corrupt and oppress ordinary people at will, which ultimately alienates the ordinary people.

The same situation also occurs in enterprises if a company's middle-level managers are corrupt on a large scale and oppress and exploit ordinary employees.

Ordinary employees will become disunited and work efficiency will become extremely low. How can they have a sense of belonging and honor towards the company at this time?

This is what is called big business disease.

On the contrary, adopting a flat system can largely eliminate such phenomena. (End of this chapter)
