In the summer of 2005, as one of the very few Chinese experts who mastered 'Sputtering Target Technology for VLSI Manufacturing', Yao Lijun founded 'Jiangfeng Electronics' in Yuyao.
Thirteen years later, Yao Lijun was awarded the Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Award.
“My heart is both glorious and full of gratitude. I thank Zhejiang for giving me the biggest award in science and technology. This is the utmost glory and also a responsibility. We must do better in the future.' Come to Yao Lijun vigorous and powerful reflections.
Northeastern hometown, studying in Japan, starting Zhejiang, scientific research personnel, regional manager of multinational corporations, entrepreneur, Yao Lijun has many times to choose ease, choose to stop, but the dream of 'industry to serve the country' supported him from frustration and suffering. Rebirth.
Very-large-scale integrated circuits are also called 'chips', and ultra-high-purity metal sputtering targets are the key materials for manufacturing chips. Prior to the establishment of 'Jiangfeng Electronics', ultra-high-purity metal sputtering targets were only available in Japan and the United States. Multinational companies can only produce, their production technology has been monopolized by Japan and the United States.
In October 2005, Jiangfeng Electronics successfully developed the first Chinese-made target material to fill the gap in the domestic sputtering target process.
In August 2009, Jiangfeng Electronics began supplying SMIC with industrialization.
Today, Jiangfeng Electronics has successfully entered Hua Hong Hua Li, SMIC, etc. China's most advanced integrated circuit manufacturing company, mass production of qualified quality, can completely replace Japan, the United States products. Jiangfeng electronic products through the international The most advanced production process has been verified and delivered in batches. Its sales network has covered North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan, and there are more than 100 chip factories in the world using Jiangfeng Electronics' target materials. .
In addition, 'Jiangfeng Electronics' also undertook the national 02 major project, the national 863 major project, the National Development and Reform Commission High-tech Industry Development Project, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Electronic Development Fund and other national scientific research and industrialization projects.
On June 15, 2017, 'Jiangfeng Electronics' officially landed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext Board. Yao Lijun, who has been in business for 12 years, has ushered in a bell. 'To this day, all semiconductor companies in the world know Jiang Feng Electronics. Become a Chinese brand that participates in the world competition. ' Yao Lijun's words are still not complete. Past memories will come out from the bottom of my heart.
In 2008, under the influence of the US subprime mortgage crisis, Jiangfeng Electronics experienced the greatest difficulty. In January of that year, the company’s sales fell to 80,000 yuan, and the company’s monthly research and development, production and other expenses incurred millions. Yuan. It has long been noticed that several large multinational companies in China have come to the door with their purchase agreement.
'Certainly stick to it and be your own national brand!' Yao Lijun did not return to the company for three whole days. He alone borrowed money to drive around.
That year, he used the money he borrowed to send a year-end bonus to all employees. Finally, under the care of the Yuyao City Science and Technology Bureau, a loan of 3 million yuan was quickly sent to the company.
In March 2011, a large earthquake took place in the Kanto region of Japan, and a large number of semiconductor and target factories ceased production. Yao Lijun keenly realized that this was a rare business opportunity. He asked the company salesman to contact all foreign customers at the first time. The "Made in China" target product. Two days later, Yao Lijun waited for the first large order from Japan's Fujitsu Company. Subsequently, Toshiba and other companies also sent people to seek cooperation.
It is because of these Chinese-made targets that the global semiconductor production line has not been shut down due to the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In the sample room of Jiangfeng Electronics, we saw its product - a sealed metal round cake of the size of a car steering wheel. It looks like a piece of metal material, but the most expensive piece, the market price can be equivalent to a car. The value of the sedan.
Why is it so expensive? In the process, expensive in purity. Sputtering targets as the key material for the manufacture of semiconductor chips, its manufacturing process can be described as excellence. A fingernail size chip in the 10000 meters of metal wire, these wires than hair One-thousandth of a thousandth is even finer, and purity is the most important element of metal, ordinary metal can generally achieve 99.8% purity, but the metal purity of the production chip is as high as 99.999%.
"Since my returning to China, I knew in my heart that all my Jiangfeng people were engaged in the great cause of revitalizing China's integrated circuits. We must endure loneliness, and we must not be afraid of setbacks because our goal is far away." Yao Lijun The reporter told reporters that in the research and development of semiconductor chip targets, the R&D team has achieved success in research and development of 10-nanometer technology, and is advancing the research and development of 7-nanometer technology. The goal is to be the best in the world; in the research and development of liquid crystal planar targets, it has been realized. The 8.5-generation line of molybdenum targets, the mass production of copper targets, but also in the upstream ultra-high purity metal material purification breakthroughs.
Yao Lijun has a Northeastern character of humor. He often calls himself a “new Zhejiang native who speaks the Northeast dialect.” In his timetable, Yuyao’s “Chinese core” is rooted in the whole world, and he is bound to use lightning Tak Kai Jiang.
In recent years, as a 'talent ambassador for Ningbo', he has also attracted more than 50 high-level talents and more than 30 scientific research teams for Ningbo. A number of upstream, downstream, and horizontal industries related to the semiconductor material industry have rapidly gathered in Ningbo.
Yao Lijun still remembers that one day in 2005, he first arrived in Yuyao. In addition to the entrepreneurial team, he also self-financed a large number of advanced production equipment purchased from abroad, installed a full 20 containers and a bulk carrier. When the equipment arrived In Ningbo Port, when the crane lifted the container from the boat to the dock, he sighed in his heart: 'Motherland, I'm back!'
After 13 years, Yao Lijun, standing in the target material product shop on the fourth floor of 'Jiangfeng Electronics', was looking through the large clear glass. He looked at the workers in the clean room wearing clean clothes to finish cleaning the product. He With an eyeful vision, “We will continue to be rooted in the field of ultra-pure metals and sputtering targets until we have more than 30% of the global market share. We will build a global production base and establish a world-class talent echelon with the goal of - Do the world first.
