Yin Zhiyao,"Father of China's Etcher": We now have the ability to make the most advanced equipment

On May 17, according to CCTV Finance, Yin Zhiyao, chairman and general manager of China Micro Semiconductor Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., known as the "father of China's etching machines," said that in December 2023, China Micro decided to enter the field of large flat equipment (Previously, about 17 types of process equipment all relied on imports). This equipment weighs 150 tons, is 15 meters long and 15 meters wide, and is two and a half stories high. According to Yin Zhiyao's experience, it takes at least 3-7 years to develop such equipment. However, China Micro's elite team only took 12 months to make workable equipment from a blank sheet of paper. In less than 4 months, it met the customer's next-generation requirements. In 18 months, it was shipped to the production line and approved. We now have the ability to make the most advanced equipment.
