"However, 200 million is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the research of photolithography machines.
Ding Yue has indeed endowed Luo Peng, Su Beilin, Tong Yihang, and Liu Tiefei, all participants in the photolithography machine experimental project, with the relevant technical knowledge.
But to turn technical knowledge into tangible results of photolithography machine research and development, there are inevitably various money-consuming steps in between.
Domestic companies like Guoxing Technology are actually carrying out R&D on photolithography machines. But due to technical barriers, many technologies lack any precedent and can only rely on their own exploration. Therefore, R&D funds are simply sky high.
However, under normal circumstances, these large tech companies are supported by state funds.
