178 An April Fool's Joke?

Of course, it was useless for these people to feel itchy at this time. After all, this information still belongs to others, and the only thing they can do is to continue researching it.

Following the information, the problem of collecting radiation energy of euv light source is introduced.

The radiation emitted by the euv light source is extremely short and the substance absorbs it very strongly, so it is completely impossible to use the previous transmission optical system to collect radiation. Therefore, this is indeed a major difficulty in euv lithography technology. However, the grazing incident light source collection system they developed is basically about to solve this problem.

Next, when studying the solution given by this data, Nikon's R&D personnel found that the solution given by this data is actually very similar to their research, but it is more perfect. Some tiny details can better solve the optical problems caused by this system under the short wavelength of the euv light source.

This undoubtedly gave them new ideas and inspiration. But just when they even forgot the passage of time and kept exploring while seeing the most critical place with relish, these candids were actually covered up again!

That’s right, just when the most critical and anticipated moments were the only rows of uneven thick black bars left on the information! All the important contents were buried under the black bars! This is really a scam!

For these R&D personnel, it was like an elderly man who had finally been aroused by a woman who was like a wolf or a tiger. When the two of them went to the most critical moment, the woman pushed the man away and put on her pants and prepared to leave. It was as unacceptable as she was played with this several times, and there was a possibility of being directly impotence.

Some people even wanted to take out a coin and scrape the places where the thick black bars were covered. But this is not a lottery ticket after all, and the monitor is even more of a public finance department. If it is scratched, it will be compensated, which has stopped the resentment of the group.

However, this also makes many people know that the next part of this material may be more exciting and valuable, but they don’t want to continue researching it. This is so scammed. Every time they use the knife in the most critical part, don’t you bring such a playful person?

Of course, this kind of emotion can only be complained in my heart. After all, everyone is working, so naturally they can't just leave it alone. But then again, let alone put aside the key points of the data being roughly cut off, this data is also extremely attractive to these R&D personnel, at least it can open up ideas for them, right?

Next, we discussed in detail about how to increase the intensity of light sources and other issues. Even at the end of the data, we also gave a flawless solution to the photomask, and of course the most critical parts were also covered up.

However, even so, no one dared to underestimate Tianshu Technology, or the China-based lithography machine research and development process represented by Tianshu Technology. However, after browsing and discussing these materials with the R&D personnel, Yamaguchi Tatsuya had no idea what medicine Wang Zhengyu was selling.

With these technologies, Tianshu Technology seems to be fully capable of producing its lithography equipment. Although the key parts of the new euv lithography technology have been hidden, it is impossible for him to judge whether these materials have really solved these difficulties. However, there are no technical obstacles in the production of lithography machines with 193nm immersive lithography technology now. Why did he find Nikon to buy lithography equipment? Could this person be so bored that he went to Hijima to tease Nikon?

Thinking of the meeting not long ago, I seemed to be excited to mock the young man opposite him for thinking about lithography technology too simply. Now it seems that it is not that he thinks about lithography technology too simply, but that he thinks about him too simply.

The shock brought to him by the two documents and his mind was full of questions. Even Tatsuya Yamaguchi forgot about time. He didn't even feel that he had been in the R&D department for sixteen hours. It was already the morning of the next day.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, the analysis report on the two materials has been released. Do you want everyone to go back and rest? Everyone is tired after staying up all night." Fujita Tomoichi Fujita, the head of the R&D room, said, and handed a sorted material to Yamaguchi Tatsuya who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Oh? It's been all night? What time is it now?" Yamaguchi Tatsuya then came to his senses from his thoughts and asked.

"It's already eight o'clock in the morning? Oh, I haven't felt that time has passed so quickly for a long time." Yamaguchi Tatsuya sighed and said, "Okay. Let them all go to rest quickly. But Mr. Fujita, you may still have to be tired, so take a break. Let's take a break with me later to report to today's board of directors."

"No problem. I'll arrange my work today first. After the arrangements are made, we can set off at any time!" Fujita Moto nodded and agreed.

"Okay. Go quickly, the board of directors will start at nine o'clock. Please trouble Mr. Fujita!" Yamaguchi Tatsuya nodded.

After Fujita finished the work of the research department and the two had a short rest, Tatsuya Yamaguchi took Fujita Toshiichi to the office of Daoro Shigaya and briefly gave a brief report on the research results of the two documents.

"What? What do you mean is that based on those two pieces of information, we can tell that the Chinese people are no longer behind us in lithography technology?" After listening to the report, Daolang of Shigu was quite shocked, and he seemed to be not very good.

This is understandable. In fact, who is not shocked by the R&D personnel, including Yamaguchi Tatsuya? It is nothing more than that they are step by step research data. Half of their minds are attracted by the content of the data, and the other half are shocked in a gradual increase, just like boiling a frog in warm water, so it is not as unruly as Daoro Kamiya who acts like he is directly disobedient after hearing the result.

"In fact, it is the most optimistic estimate that it is not behind. If the key parts of the second material that have been cut out can really solve the problem, it can show that the Chinese people's research on euv lithography technology has surpassed us!" Fujita Motoichi said with the usual rigorous attitude of a technician.

"More than us?" said Daoru Kaya in a stingy voice, "You mean it is very likely that Tianshu Technology's lithography machine manufacturing technology has surpassed us? So what does that young man specifically come to Nikon to buy our s620d?"

"Or as he said, I just don't want to waste that time myself, it seems that there is only this explanation!" Yamaguchi Tatsuya spread his hands and said.

After closing his eyes and calming down, Daolang of Huogu closed his eyes and calmed down, he opened his eyes and said, "In fact, he only needs to give us the information of 193nm immersive lithography technology, which is enough to impress us. Why do you have to give us a second information? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Hmm?" Yamaguchi Tatsuya was stunned when she heard this, or had been shocked by the technology contained in the two documents. In addition, his head became dull after not sleeping for a night, he had never thought about this problem. After a moment, he hesitantly asked: "What do you mean?"

Raya Doro did not directly answer Tatsuya Yamaguchi's question, but turned to Motoichi Fujita and asked: "Mr. Fujita, please give us a professional judgment. What key parts of the second technical data on the difficulties in euv lithography technology you just described are helpful to our euv lithography technology's current research and development process? Or how valuable is this complete version of the data to us Nikon?"

Shiya Doro's question made Fujita Motoichi hesitate for a moment, thought carefully before answering carefully: "Because the key part was hidden, I can't answer this answer in a yes way. But that data basically involves all the technical difficulties of euv lithography technology, many of which are bothering us. If the key part of that data can really solve these problems perfectly, then I can only say that with the complete version of this data, our new euv lithography machine will be able to be produced within three months at the latest."

Speaking of this, Fujita Sora paused, thought for a moment and continued: "But based on the previous content of the data, I think those hidden parts may really be the key to the solution. Moreover, solving these difficulties involves at least hundreds of technologies that have not yet been patented. If we turn these technologies into our patents before Asmay, you should understand what this is for Nikon. And given the breakthrough of euv lithography technology and its huge driving effect on the microelectronics industry, I am really hard to estimate the value of this complete version of this data."

"Okay! I understand!" Daoro Shitani raised his hand and pressed his temple, stood up and said, "It's almost time. Today's board of directors is about to start, let's go with me. Mr. Fujita Toshiichi, I need you to report at the board of directors later. After the report, I will also talk to the directors about your current analysis. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Okay, President of the Green Valley!" Fujita Moto nodded.

An hour later, Fujita Motoichi reported the results of the overnight research at the Nikon board meeting, and at the same time, according to Daoro Shiya, he reported his value judgment on this information to Nikon again.

When Fujita Toshiichi's report was completed, the entire conference room was silent for a moment, and it began to boil. Except for Daoro Shitani who had already received the news and Tatsuya Yamaguchi who participated in the data analysis, the other directors were naturally full of suspicions and shocks.

After all, Nikon, as one of the only two companies in the world that can produce high-end lithography equipment, has always been unbreakable in the industry. Now, a Chinese company suddenly pops up and has more advanced technology than them. Is this sure that it is not a joke on April Fools' Day?

If it weren't for Fujita Tsuichi, the chief engineer of Nikon EUV lithography equipment, I'm afraid there would be people who would directly scold him. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
