Huawei: Hard steel to the end-After the release of HarmonyOS system, it invested in mask aligner.

In fact, as early as 20 12, Huawei began to plan its own mobile phone operating system-HarmonyOS system. Until 20 18, the United States took the lead in launching a trade war against China and began to cut off supplies and impose sanctions in the field of cutting-edge technology. Huawei is far ahead of western countries in the field of 5G communication, which has caused great anxiety in the United States, so that they not only cut off the supply of chips to Huawei in the technical field, but also illegally detained the children of its founders for bottomless political persecution. After a series of events, Huawei abandoned its illusions and began to accelerate the development of its own operating system. On August 24th, 20 18, he applied for the trademark of Huawei HarmonyOS system. On May 24th, 20 19, Ren personally led the team to formally develop the system. On August 9th, 20 19, Huawei released HarmonyOS system and announced open source. Subsequently, it experienced rapid iterative development of several versions until 2028. This also means that "HarmonyOS system mobile phone" has become a formal market-oriented product.

Almost at the same time as the HarmonyOS system was released, Huawei has begun to make a big push into mask aligner, the core technology in the chip field. According to the public information inquired by Tianyancha, Hubble Technology Investment Co., Ltd. invested in Beijing Yike Hongyuan Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. on June 2. This investment company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huawei, and its main business is mask aligner. Other major shareholders of the company include Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Beijing Yizhuang Guotou.

According to the public information of the enterprise, Beijing Yike Hongyuan Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. is the industrial carrier of the achievements of the national 02 major project "Excimer Laser Technology". Relying on the technical foundation of Institute of Optoelectronic and Microelectronics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as the industrial and capital strength of Yizhuang Guotou and Guo Ke Holdings, we are committed to building an independent innovative enterprise, meeting the needs of the country and the market with excimer laser technology and products with independent intellectual property rights, and becoming a respected professional excimer laser technology solution provider.

This is a core parts company in mask aligner, whose main products are DUV (deep ultraviolet) lithography light source products, and it is a supplier in mask aligner. Beijing Yike is the first 193nm ArF excimer laser company in China and the third in the world, and its light source system is also one of the three core technologies in mask aligner. Therefore, we can naturally think that Huawei may lay out an industrial chain in mask aligner, such as the production of R&D and related core components (objective lens system, exposure optical system, immersion system, etc.). ) and supporting facilities of the lithography industry (photoresist, lithography gas, etc.). ). In the future, Huawei may participate in or independently develop these related fields, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency. Perhaps Huawei has taken full action, but outsiders have not noticed it yet. When we didn't have enough to eat, scientists still got the atomic bomb out on an empty stomach, and the satellite went into the sky. Nothing is impossible. As long as the people of China work hard in one place, there will be a moment to witness the miracle!

Huawei-hard steel in the end!
