Magic City, the headquarters of Xingtu Semiconductor.

At this time, Lin Feng was meeting with Liang Mengsong, the person in charge of the 10-nanometer process technology research and development war and the head of Xingtu Semiconductor, who was also very famous in his previous life.

Because after he officially took charge of Zhongxin International in October 2017, he led Zhongxin International's scientific researchers to use the multiple exposure technology first developed by TSMC in just 10 days.

The 28nm chip was produced using a 14nm DUV lithography machine, and the yield rate of the 14nm process was increased to 95%.

It can be said that this person has made great contributions to Daxia. After all, he not only mastered the 14-nanometer process technology in Daxia, but also successfully put the 14-nanometer process technology into mass production.

Although the chip production capacity of this multiple exposure technology is quite worrying, after all, the EUV lithography machine only needs to expose once to produce chips.

However, this multiple exposure technology is ultimately a hack. Multiple exposures are required to produce 14nm chips, so the production efficiency is naturally very low.

The only way to solve this defect is to purchase more lithography machines and use the advantage of strength in numbers to solve the problem of low production efficiency and ultimately insufficient production capacity.

However, this is something that Zhongxin International cannot do because the number of 28nm DUV lithography machines it originally purchased was not large.

When Zhongxin International wanted to purchase a 28nm DUV lithography machine, it was unlucky enough to encounter the trade war between the United States and China.

At this time, it is naturally difficult to obtain 28nm DUV lithography machines on a large scale.

Therefore, although Zhongxin International successfully mastered the 14nm process technology, it suffered from insufficient production capacity.

The number of 14nm chips produced by Zhongxin International has always been small and cannot meet Daxia’s needs.

However, despite many regrets, none of them can conceal Liang Mengsong's great contribution to Daxia.

After all, being able to produce 14-nanometer chips and not being able to produce 14-nanometer chips are two different concepts, with completely different strategic significances.

In addition, in the original history, he not only made great contributions to the 14-nanometer process technology, but also made great contributions to the 28-nanometer process technology.

Because before he officially took over Zhongxin International in February 2016, the chip yield rate of Zhongxin International's 2nm process technology was quite dismal.

At that time, the yield rate of chips produced with the 28nm process technology was always unstable, and the yield rate of newly produced chips would drop dramatically.

Under such circumstances, before Liang Mengsong came over, Zhongxin International's 28nm process technology could only be said to be barely not losing money, and it was impossible to make money.

After Liang Mengsong joined Zhongxin International, he successfully increased the yield rate of 28-nanometer chips to more than 85% in less than a year.

Therefore, Daxia was naturally very happy and immediately delegated power to Liang Mengsong.

That was in October 2017 in the previous life when Liang Mengsong was appointed as the president, CEO and executive director of Zhongxin International. It can be said that Daxia was so happy that it directly handed over Zhongxin International to him.

And he did not disappoint people, with the trust and financial support of Daxia.

In just 300 days, he led scientific researchers to master the 14-nanometer process technology and increased the yield rate of the 14-nanometer process technology to 95%, fully demonstrating his talent.

It's a pity that he is good at technology. Although it feels great to be in charge of Zhongxin International, there are too many affairs to deal with on a daily basis, which is not in line with his personality of liking to delve into technology.

So within two years, he resigned from the position of executive director and focused on CEO affairs and R&D affairs. The reason why Liang Mengsong took office a few months earlier was to join Xingtu Semiconductor.

This is because Lin Feng treated him much better than in his previous life, not to mention that Lin Feng gave him the position of President and CEO of Xingtu Semiconductor.

It was also promised that more than 70% of the profits earned by Xingtu Semiconductor would be invested in the research and development of the next-generation process technology, improving the process yield rate and purchasing chip equipment.

Finally, Lin Feng also agreed to give Liang Mengsong an injection of Hawking's intelligence version of gene enhancement drug, raising his IQ to 160+.

Liang Mengsong naturally had no reason to refuse this, after all, Zhongxin International had invited him in February 2016 in his previous life.

The conditions offered by Zhongxin International at that time were not as good as they are now, but in the end he still joined Zhongxin International.

Now Lin Feng offered him more conditions than Zhongxin International in his previous life. He had no reason to refuse, so he directly joined Xingtu Semiconductor and became the head of Xingtu Semiconductor.

Of course, high salary also means a considerable amount of responsibility pressure, so his task is not easy. He currently has three main tasks.

The first task is to improve the yield rate of the 28-nanometer chip manufacturing process and to increase the yield rate of the 28-nanometer manufacturing process to more than 99%.

The second task is to do his job as the president and CEO of Starway Semiconductor and cooperate with the artificial intelligence Jarvis to carry out in-depth restructuring of Starway Semiconductor.

We also need to solve the internal strife that existed during the Zhongxin International period, eliminate those who should be eliminated, and re-recruit those who should be re-recruited to enhance the company's strength.

The third task is to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 10-nanometer process technology research and development war.

Not to mention real-time command of Xingtu Technology's 750 highly intelligent PhDs and thousands of master's degree researchers to carry out research and development work.

He also has to command the R&D and manufacturing personnel in various research institutes, digital factories, and state-owned factories. It can be said that the total number of people involved in the effort to overcome the 10-nanometer manufacturing process has exceeded 5.

With so much work coming at him at once, especially having to direct so many scientific researchers to conduct research and development based on their many years of experience, it stands to reason that he would never be able to complete it.

But the magic of artificial intelligence is that it is good at handling multi-threaded tasks, and the current research system is not the same as before.

Artificial intelligence Jarvis is highly involved in the current research system. It can not only assist scientific researchers in research and development, but also help deal with other miscellaneous matters.

So don’t think it’s difficult for one person to handle so many things. Just to develop the 10-nanometer manufacturing process, the entire Daxia employed more than 5 people.

But in fact, with the assistance of artificial intelligence Jarvis, Liang Mengsong can still control the progress of every researcher and every matter.

Of course, although there are only more than 10 people developing the 5-nanometer process technology, their explosive execution power far exceeds that of 5 people.

Because time was tight and Lin Feng put a lot of pressure on them, so at this time, let alone ninety-ninety-six blessings, there were not even sixteen blessings.

In the R&D department, which is under greater pressure, their average sleep time is only four hours. The rest of the time is either spent eating, drinking, defecating, or doing R&D work.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had developed a deep sleep aid before, which allowed people to sleep only 4 hours a day on average. Otherwise, they would have gone on strike in a few days. (End of this chapter)
