Let's talk about labor. You might think of a hoe, a carrying pole, a computer, or a camera. These tools are not just instruments of production; they are more like companions working alongside laborers to create happiness. Today, we change our perspective and listen to what these "partners" by the workers' sides have to say.

I am a work computer from the anti-radiation analog IC R&D team, and I am also the work partner of researcher Zhao Xiaofan. He has been deeply involved in the design and development of anti-radiation analog integrated circuits for years. He focuses on tackling core technologies, breaking through process barriers and design challenges, while also actively engaging with end-users to bridge the final gap in R&D implementation. He has cumulatively completed verification tests for over twenty types of anti-radiation analog chips, deeply participated in five major scientific research projects and supporting development tasks, honing robust products with extreme dedication, and demonstrating the responsibility of a researcher in the new era through tangible results.

I am a microscope, a precise sentinel on the production line. This is my partner—Chen Xiangping from the Manufacturing Division. In his three years with the company, he participated in the challenging construction of the bumping production line, breaking through multiple technical barriers with his team to successfully complete the line setup and achieve stable mass production. He has led the process development and introduction for bumping techniques on 38 new products, all meeting mass production requirements, with a corresponding process yield steadily maintained at 99.39%. This successfully filled a technical gap in the company's bumping process capabilities, achieving a critical breakthrough from zero to one.

I am an ordinary small tweezers in the workshop, designed for handling precision components, and a reliable partner for frontline integrated circuit production workers. He is Zhang Junping from the Manufacturing Division. I have accompanied him as he deepened his expertise in his role. Over two years, he completed processing for 500 product batches, sorted and assembled 100,000 precision components, and operated five refined processing steps. He consistently maintains rigorous and standardized operations, strictly controls detailed procedures, effectively reduces product defect rates, steadily improves production yield, and efficiently completes various production tasks.

I am a common multimeter, a versatile electronic measuring instrument. He is my partner, Huang Jun from the Quality Inspection Department. Proficient in the operational principles of various equipment, he moves between the workshop and the site, efficiently conducting preventive maintenance and emergency troubleshooting. To date, he has completed electrical testing and health assessments for over 400 key equipment units, participated in the calibration of 140 types of test fixtures, 100 special inspections for category boards, and 15 maintenance procedures for burn-in driver boards. He has supported 10 major shutdown maintenance and system optimization tasks and completed circuit improvements for two key pieces of equipment, safeguarding stable equipment operation with meticulous responsibility.

I am a product verification board, essential on the R&D frontlines. My partner is Luo Yuxi from R&D Department One. In his nearly four years with the company, he has completed the design and tape-out for 7 products and led the acceptance testing for the key NJFET precision instrumentation amplifier project. I have accompanied him through verification tests for over twenty amplifier products, providing strong support for the precise testing of chip performance. Additionally, he is responsible for maintaining the R&D design platform and managing company tape-outs, ensuring efficient progress for the team's R&D work with thorough and comprehensive support.

I am Empyrean software, recently overwhelmed with layout design tasks—running DRC checks, performing LVS, and dealing with countless circuits. My "old partner" is Tang Renfeng. I always joked about her being stubborn, obsessing over every line width and spacing. Later, I understood that her stubbornness is reliable! She has led us to complete tape-outs for over ten layout designs, guarding the final checkpoint before silicon fabrication, transforming each design from a blueprint on paper into a mass-produced chip. In the future, we will continue to work side-by-side on layouts, using precision and rigor to help bring every chip to successful fruition.

Don't underestimate me as just a small backpack; I travel north and south with my partner. His name is Qin Zhiwen, a salesperson in the Marketing Department, perpetually tanned from years of constant travel. My belly is always stuffed with a computer, samples, contracts, and a well-worn notebook. Initially, people were often skeptical of domestic chips, and his proposals would frequently go unanswered. But he never gave up. With persistent effort, he gradually shifted user attitudes from "not needed" to "let's discuss further," and finally to project implementation, stabilizing the product's market share at 90%. I will continue to journey with him to the next market waiting to be developed.

I am an ordinary hard hat, but also a steadfast guardian for the Comprehensive Support Department on maintenance and保障 roads. He is my partner—Wu Shengguo. Rooted in his position for 29 years, he is always on the move across the plant area, navigating various sites throughout the year for hazard排查, emergency repairs, and daily operations and maintenance. With strong professional skills, he handles various facility faults, performs equipment maintenance, and promotes the identification and management of plant area hazards—the volume of related tasks is beyond count. When faced with various repair requests, he adheres to the principles of "quick response, accurate handling, and long-lasting results," efficiently completing inspections, emergency responses, and routine support for various points, solidifying the logistical defense for the company's stable operations through steadfast, often unnoticed dedication.

As a piece of equipment for chip performance testing, I, the probe station, am a reliable checkpoint partner on the path of chip testing and verification. My partner, Guo Sensen from Chengdu Huanyu Xin, has long been dedicated to the frontline of chip testing and verification, focusing on challenges like process variations and performance deviations. He has cumulatively completed test verification for 500 wafers, strengthening the quality defense for the stable supply of 14 key products. In responding to over 30 different test demands, he precisely advanced parameter debugging, yield analysis, and delivery confirmation, continuously optimizing test processes and accuracy metrics. Furthermore, he has consolidated 5 key testing methods and practical experience, providing solid support for product performance finalization and application scenario matching, thereby bolstering quality assurance and efficiency gains.

I am a calculator, accurately computing every set of data. My partner is Huang Zhaoling from the Finance and Assets Department. Grounded in her accounting role, she diligently handles daily bookkeeping, invoice review, and archiving, achieving zero errors in annual accounting and no omissions in archiving. She carefully manages accounts receivable and payable, standardizes ledger management, promptly clears suspended payments, and solidifies foundational financial work. She completes the preparation of various financial reports and data summary analyses on time. Together with her departmental colleagues, she uses a meticulous and detailed work attitude to build a solid financial foundation for the company's development.

I am an ordinary camera, always by the side of communications staff, capturing moments at work, recording striving figures, and preserving hard work and glory. This is my partner, Zhou Manni from the Party-Mass Work Department. Everyone says she is a capturer of frontline spirit and a transmitter of positive energy from various posts. Whether it's the production floor, R&D challenges, Party-building activities, or employee highlights, she always manages to capture the dynamic posture of progress from all angles. She helps broaden communication channels, enhance the brand image, and fully preserve stories and highlights, using light and shadow to tell the story of the company's development.

Partners may be silent, but strivers have a voice. Every moment spent working side-by-side is the most beautiful footnote to labor. On this Labor Day, we salute everyone striving in their posts!
