Chapter 99 Shock! Several different chips
Qiu Yongbo handed this chip to Ma Yong.
Ma Yong looked at it and nodded, indicating that the result was clear.
Amir asked: "What's going on?"
Ma Yong grinned: "Look, who do you think made this chip?"
Amir didn't take it. He stretched his neck and looked at it a few times and said, "How do I know who did it? Isn't this the job you should do?"
Ma Yong was startled for a moment, and then said: "It's a chip made by our Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
Qiu Yongbo added: "It is a seven-nanometer chip."
Max said "Oh": "It seems that Huayao is still using stock chips."
Amir shook his head: "NONONO, maybe other chips are different."
Max chuckled: "What's the difference? No matter how different it is, it has to be a chip made by Island Semiconductor."
Max looked at Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong again: "Are you right? Dear Asians?"
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong looked at each other.
Although Max called them a unpleasant name and the two were unhappy, they still nodded in agreement.
Qiu Yongbo said: "I believe that other chips are also products of our Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and there will be no exceptions."
Although everyone thinks so, the process still needs to be followed.
Of course, it was Qiu Yongbo and Zhang Yong who were working now, while Max and Amir each made a donut and ate it while watching.
Qiu Yongbo picked up the second chip and looked at it, still smiling slightly, and then handed it to Ma Yong.
After reading it, Ma Yong also had a relaxed expression: "It's still the seven-nanometer chip we made."
With a "pop" sound, Max and Amir high-fived, looking very happy.
If it can be proven that all Huayao uses are stock chips, then he can get off work early.
They have a social dance to attend today, and there are many campus girls participating, of all colors.
Qiu Yongbo picked up the third chip, which was also no problem, then the fourth chip, the fifth chip...
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong gradually relaxed.
It looks like there won't be any surprises.
But under normal circumstances, when there are no accidents, accidents will always happen.
When Qiu Yongbo picked up the eighth chip, his expression suddenly condensed and his movements froze.
Ma Yong asked: "What's wrong?"
Qiu Yongbo's eyes widened. He really felt that something was wrong.
This chip is a little thinner than normal, maybe less than a millimeter, but Qiu Yongbo is experienced enough to feel it.
Then there is the size of the chip. It looks fine to the naked eye, but it still feels like there is a slight difference.
Qiu Yongbo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly moved the tweezers to his eyes to look carefully.
First looking at the silk screen on the front, Qiu Yongbo was shocked.
There is no other reason. Although it is marked as HiSilicon Kirin 990, which is no problem, the factory code format is different.
That's right, it's just different from the factory encoding format of Sima Semiconductor!
Qiu Yongbo suddenly reacted and looked at the packaging style on the side.
Damn it! The process standards are also different from those of Island Semiconductor’s own packaging factory!
Qiu Yongbo turned the chip over again and checked the pins of the chip.
"...How is this possible?"
Ma Yong quickly took the chip from Qiu Yongbo's hand.
Soon, Ma Yong's reaction was the same as Qiu Yongbo's, he was shocked, shocked, and even more shocked.
Max and Amir also noticed something was wrong with their reactions. They put the donuts into their mouths in one gulp and then came over.
Amir asked: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with this chip?"
Ma Yong came back to his senses and said: "It seems...it really wasn't made by our Island Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd." "...Ah!? Ruili!?"
Max was more surprised than Amir.
"You, you'd better make sure and don't get it wrong."
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong also felt that it was too hasty to draw conclusions, so they quickly got together to confirm again.
"At least the packaging is wrong."
"Didn't you notice? Although the arrangement of the stitches is basically the same, the size of the gaps is still different."
"Oh my god, it's true, Yongbo, why do I feel that the stitch gap is smaller than what we made?"
"This...may be a difference caused by different packaging."
"You mean, this packaging level is higher than our packaging factory over there?"
"It just looks okay."
Max and Amir were tired of waiting.
"Can you make a judgment?"
Qiu Yongbo thought for a while and said, "I suspect that this chip has been repackaged."
Ma Yong was stunned: "You mean, use the old chip to polish it and then repackage it?"
Qiu Yongbo nodded: "Yes, this can be done. Huaguo's packaging level is indeed very good. It should be first-class. It can be done."
Ma Yong looked confused: "What is their purpose of doing this? It is time-consuming, laborious and troublesome."
Qiu Yongbo thought for a while: "In order to make people think that they have really found a chip foundry!"
I have to say that this is still a possibility.
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong cheered up and checked the remaining ten chips, and unexpectedly found three more with the same situation.
A total of four chips have abnormalities, one-fifth of them, which is not a low ratio.
You must know that these twenty mobile phones were randomly purchased by informants from China.
Now that different chips have been discovered, it is certainly impossible to determine with the naked eye whether they are chips made with Sshima Semiconductor's process technology.
Then it is necessary to further disassemble the chip and inspect the arrangement of the transistors inside.
This work may not seem simple, but it is actually very troublesome.
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong were still busy, while the other two could only stare.
They were worried that they wouldn't be able to get it done today and would delay the wonderful dance.
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong were also very capable. It took more than half an hour to disassemble a chip.
Next, the electron microscope is connected and projected onto a large screen so that the transistor can be scanned.
Everything is ready and the images are being imported.
Qiu Yongbo and Ma Yong both looked nervous.
They very much hope that Qiu Yongbo's guess is correct. These strange chips are the result of re-polishing old chips and then re-packaging them.
Ma Yong swallowed: "Yongbo, do you think these chips really didn't come from us?"
Qiu Yongbo glanced at Ma Yong: "How is it possible? If we didn't create it, who else could it be? Sansang? They don't dare to OEM chips for Huayao."
"Where is Huaxin International?"
"That's even more impossible. They don't have the technology. Now Huaxin International can't even buy high-end photoresist."
"makes sense."
Just then, the global picture of the transistor emerged.
When the two of them saw clearly, they were instantly stunned.
