Chapter 65: Lithography factory, chip initially closed loop!
Is this a red talent in lithography?
Chen Xing couldn’t believe it!
Although his reason tells him not to judge people by their appearance, isn't this guy's image too "street kid"?
American spiked yellow hair style, tight ripped jeans, if paired with a will-o'-the-wisp, he would really be a spirited guy standing at attention.
“oi!”
The moment Lin Tian saw Chen Xing, he said hello from a distance.
The passengers exiting the station behind him saw the energetic young man's dress and hairstyle, subconsciously distanced themselves a few steps away, and looked at Chen Xing with strange eyes.
It's like saying...
What is this thing?
Facing strange looks, Chen Xing stepped forward to greet him: "Welcome back to China, Lin Tian, right? Let's talk back to the car."
"Wait."
Lin Tianyao He shook his head and asked: "President, do you have a photolithography machine?"
"Not yet."
"That means no. You can advance my salary for one month. What are you waiting for? Come back to me when you have a photolithography machine."
"You shouldn't make it..."
Before Chen Xing finished speaking, Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Mr. President, you don't think so. Can I give you a hand-made lithography machine?”
“This... seems to be what I said...”
As far as lithography machines are concerned, no country in the world can manufacture them alone. Not even the United States.
It is currently the most precise instrument that humans can make. Before its birth, who would have thought that sand could be turned into chips, and who would have thought that a chip of 100 square millimeters could depict transistor circuits on the order of tens of billions. ?
Lithography machines and chips have always been considered to be products of alien civilization.
Hand-rubbed photolithography machine?
That is basically unrealistic!
Chen Xing did not force others to make things difficult, but changed the question: "I have heard of lithography machines. What is a lithography factory?"
He noticed Lin Tian's main field of research. , there is also a photolithography factory label.
The photolithography factory was something he had never heard of.
Speaking of the photolithography factory, Lin Tian’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said with interest: "You said the photolithography factory, that is a backup plan for photolithography. I bypassed the photolithography machine to produce chips. Theoretical conjecture."
"Bypassing the photolithography machine to produce chips?"
Chen Xing couldn't help but be stunned, this simply subverted his cognition.
You must know that since the birth of mankind's first chip, the lithography machine has been highly bound to the chip.
Without a photolithography machine, you cannot create a chip. The concept that a chip is the product of a photolithography machine is already a recognized truth.
Bypass it?
How to make chips?
Lin Tian seemed to see Chen Xing’s doubts and said casually: “To put it bluntly, the lithography machine uses extreme ultraviolet light to project the circuit pattern of the mask onto the silicon wafer, which solves the problem of the light source. Isn’t it the same as solving the photolithography machine?”
What this guy said makes sense!
Chen Xing was finally sure that this was the red talent he was waiting for.
If the photolithography problem can be solved, then Longxing Technology's chip manufacturing may really be able to achieve a preliminary closed loop.
Currently, the instruction set uses open source RISC-V. Open source means that companies around the world can use it for free, and there is no technology patent blockade or extortion.
EDA software is self-developed by Longguo, with seven academicians in charge. It’s impossible for one to restrict one’s own, right?
In the final step, chip lithography, as Lin Tian said, no matter what method is used, as long as extreme ultraviolet light is solved, it is equivalent to solving the lithography machine.
Because the photolithography machine only has one function: to provide a stable extreme ultraviolet light source!
Once these three steps of EDA software, chip design, and chip manufacturing can all be domestically produced, it will definitely shock the world and make the gangsters in the West feel scared. Chen Xingchang thought about the day when the loop was closed, while Lin Tianze continued to explain his lithography factory:
“We can’t make lithography machines anymore. It brings together the top technologies of dozens of countries, and The components are of high precision and small size, and it is too difficult to reproduce them one-to-one.”
“Since we can’t make them, let’s bypass it and build a photolithography factory directly. ! ”
“Since it is a factory, the parts must be a little bit bigger. In the past, our domestic factory equipment may not be precise enough to produce parts the size of a fingernail, so fist-sized parts can be produced, right? If that doesn't work, basketball size can be used, right? "
"The demand for manufacturing precision of parts has decreased, which makes it easier to overcome. Then, we need to solve the problem of extreme ultraviolet light."
< br>"According to Maxwell's equations, electrons will emit electromagnetic waves as long as they accelerate. When electrons are restrained by a magnetic field in an accelerator, they will rotate in circles in the ring memory to form accelerated motions and radiate electromagnetic waves. To put it simply, To emit extreme ultraviolet light, the acceleration of the electrons is large enough and the energy is high enough."
"Do you understand, CEO?"
Chen Xing took a deep breath and responded calmly. Said: "I roughly understand. You bypass all the precision parts of the lithography machine and just deal with extreme ultraviolet light, right?"
Lin Tian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "The CEO is awesome, he actually understood it so quickly. As I said before, the lithography machine is simply a device that emits extreme ultraviolet light. We just need to solve it." Extreme ultraviolet light is equivalent to solving the problem of photolithography machines.”
The idea of abandoning photolithography machines and rebuilding photolithography factories amazed Chen Xing.
This is equivalent to a fantasy novel. In the past, the way to become a god was to practice Qi, but there happened to be a fool who chose to practice physical training and became a god in the flesh, and took a different path.
But whether practicing Qi or physical training, becoming an immortal is the ultimate goal.
Similarly, the lithography machine is to emit extreme ultraviolet light, and the lithography factory is also to emit extreme ultraviolet light. You use various small and sophisticated instruments. I directly use the accelerator magnetic confinement. Although The process is different, but the purpose is the same and that’s it!
Chen Xing was shocked by his idea and couldn't help but ask: "You just mentioned the accelerator, which means that our photolithography factory needs to buy an accelerator for you, right?"
"More than that, I'll give you a list later. Let's prepare a billion dollars first."
Lin Tian smiled lightly.
Chen Xing: "..."
One billion!
This is going to cost him his life!
He only made a few bucks after working hard to sell mobile phones. When this kid opened his mouth, he prepared one billion first. Those who didn’t know better thought he was talking about Zimbabwe dollars?
“No money?”
Lin Tian chuckled, stretched out his hand and said: “Since the president doesn’t have money to build a factory, then give me a month’s salary in advance, and I’ll go and indulge myself first. , call me when you have the conditions."
Chen Xing did not speak, but missed Gao Zhengqian in the chip laboratory.
How come of two red talents, one is as reliable as a towering tree, while the other is like a local gangster?
"Why don't you talk to the president? One month's salary is not enough, half a month is enough, 20,000, 20,000 is enough, right?"
Lin Tian was still chattering, thinking about getting money. Go chic.
Faced with the salary advance for the red-quality talents he selected, what else can Chen Xing do? Those who can be satisfied will definitely be satisfied.
He took out a bank card and handed it to Lin Tiandao: "There are five million in the card, and the password is six eights. Save some money. If the company needs it, you have to rush back immediately."
"Don't worry, let's add WeChat first."
Lin Tian took the bank card, added Chen Xing's WeChat, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, CEO, please give me news if you have anything."< br>
“Well, let’s go.”
Looking at the departing figure, Chen Xing still couldn’t believe that this guy was actually a red-quality talent.
Chen Xing sighed, shook his head helplessly and murmured: "Sure enough, people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured."
