["Father of China's Etching Machines" Yin Zhiyao: We Now Have the Capability to Produce the Most Advanced Equipment] According to a report by Jinse Finance on May 17, citing CCTV Finance, Yin Zhiyao, Chairman and General Manager of Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. (AMEC) in Shanghai, who is known as the "Father of China's Etching Machines," stated that in December 2023, AMEC decided to enter the large flat-panel equipment sector (previously, approximately 17 types of process equipment in this field were entirely reliant on imports). This type of equipment weighs 150 tons, measures 15 meters in length and width, and is as tall as two and a half floors. Based on Yin Zhiyao's experience, developing such equipment typically takes at least 3 to 7 years. However, AMEC's elite team managed to create a functional piece of equipment from scratch in just 12 months, met the next-generation requirements of their client in less than 4 months, and delivered it to the production line with approval within 18 months. "We now have the capability to produce the most advanced equipment."
