Chapter 85: Copy Success (Ch 828212190)

The staff member at the side looked at Chen Tong who was asking him questions with vigilance.
In the end, he chose to ignore Chen Tong’s questions.
Are you so indifferent?
Chen Tong felt a little unhappy when he saw the staff member leading the way in front of him keeping silent.
However, in the entire factory, the copy card can only copy this low-level factory.
Take a gamble! It’s no big deal if you waste a copy card!
Seeing that he couldn’t get an answer, Chen Tong finally decided to use the copy card after a little thought.
After all, if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity to copy, I’m afraid I will hardly have another chance in the future.
Chen Tong remembered that when he was in school, his teacher once said that it was better to give a wrong answer than to leave it blank during an exam.
[Copy card used successfully!]
[Please build the replica building on the empty ground within 144 hours!]
With the successful use of the copy card, the building was also successfully recorded.
The period for copying the card is 6 days in total. During these 6 days, Chen Tong needs to complete the cooperation with TSMC as soon as possible.
Return to Huateng Semiconductor Company as soon as possible and apply this building to the company.
After a few minutes’ journey, Chen Tong was finally led into the reception room of Baoji Semiconductor.
“I don’t know how many chips your company needs to produce. Currently, the total cost of our company’s 12-inch wafers with a 7-nanometer process is about 300,000 yuan!”
The person in charge nearby explained to Chen Tong in great detail the current cost of TSMC’s wafers.
The chip wafers provided this time are slightly more than three times more expensive than those provided by domestic Huaxin International.
However, the other party’s specially customized wafer is used for the seven-nanometer process technology and is different from that of Huaxin International in terms of materials.
And the wafers from the mainland are 28 nanometers, while this time TSMC provides 7 nanometer wafers.
The diode diameter of the chip during the etching process is smaller, and perhaps more chips can be cut from a wafer.
“Our company plans to do a second tape-out first. I wonder how much your company’s tape-out fee will be!”
In the chip foundry process, the first step is to determine how many chips can be produced from a wafer and how high the chip yield is through tape-out.
“Our tape-out fee is about 20 million per tape-out. If your company does two tape-outs at once, we can give you a preferential price of 30 million!”
The person in charge said to Chen Tong with a smile that it was obvious that the revenue from wafer production was a major source of revenue for TSMC in Taiwan.
After all, the subsequent design and production of chips mostly only charges a foundry and packaging fee, while the cost of tape-out is the bulk of the cost.
Chen Tong knew that the only chip foundry company he could choose now was TSMC, and he did not have any connections with Sanxin to get it to do foundry for him.
However, Chen Tong now needs to consider how long it will take to tape out the chip.
“How long will this tape-out take!”
“It is estimated to take about two weeks. This is the best arrangement we can give Mr. Chen!”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Tong finally signed the tape-out contract. He planned to try to produce chips first to see how many chips can be produced from a wafer.
At the same time, we can also use this tape-out to look at the level and cost of the chip.
“Brother Li, I still have some things to deal with at the company, so I’ll trouble you with Baodao!”
After signing the contract, Chen Tong handed over all matters to Li Zhongyu.
After all, the validity period of the copy card is only 6 days, and I simply cannot stay in the treasure island for a long time.
As for the tape-out matter, it was temporarily handed over to Li Zhongyu, and Chen Tong was relatively relieved.
However, Chen Tong still has some requirements for this. He hopes to receive the foundry chips as soon as possible after the tape-out production is completed.
“Don’t worry! Mr. Chen, I will keep a close eye on this place…”
Li Zhongyu looked at Chen Tong with a firm face, signaling him to leave everything here entirely to him.
After arranging matters in Baodao, Chen Tong immediately flew back to Huateng Semiconductor.
[Card copied successfully!]
After Chen Tong returned to the company, he immediately placed the replica factory building in the company’s vacant land.
As the copy card was successfully used, a phone call suddenly rang in Chen Tong’s ears.
Step over the phone!
Looking at the reminder on the phone, Chen Tong answered the call without hesitation.
“Hello, we are ASML Henan, your company is in our company…”
The poor Chinese voice that suddenly rang out from the other end of the phone made Chen Tong stunned.
The system! It’s really awesome! It can even make the famous ASML send something to itself.
What is it? Chen Tong knew it without even thinking about it!
You have to know that if you want to get a lithography machine from ASML, you have to overcome many obstacles before you can rent it.
The lithography machines that Huaxin International currently owns are only used on a lease basis.
But from the phone call just now, Chen Tong clearly understood that this lithography machine was not rented but sold to Huateng Semiconductor.
It was because of this that Chen Tong truly felt the powerful modification capabilities of the system.
In the next few days, the construction team has begun to build a factory on the company’s vacant land.
Soon after, coastal customs also began to receive boxes of lithography machine parts.
“Engineering parts! That’s quite a lot…”
Looking at the boxes and boxes of containers on the large ocean-going ships near the coast, the staff in charge of the review couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Looking at the sophisticated components inside the container, the staff also showed a look of surprise.
They are not professionals, so they naturally have no idea what kind of terrifying existence these components are. However, judging from the exquisite packaging, they do not seem simple.
Soon, dozens of large transport vehicles outside the port began to load these scattered component containers one by one and quickly rushed to Star City in Lake Province.
As Chen Tong waited expectantly, three days later, one giant vehicle after another delivered the system parts of the lithography machine to the factory one by one.
“Since the chip factory requires a dust-free environment, it may take us a little longer to install it. I hope Mr. Chen doesn’t mind!”
The head of ASML looked at Chen Tong with a smile and spoke to him sincerely.
Chen Tong had no objection to this, but he was curious about what exactly had been modified in the system to make ASML willing to sell the lithography machine to him.
Chen Tong also carefully tested the ASML person in charge who came this time, but the other party refused to talk about it, which made Chen Tong more and more curious.
