Technological Hegemony

People who like astrology often mumble. Purple is the most mysterious color in the world. It is elusive and often inadvertently shows its unique gorgeousness and elegance.

At this moment, ultra-ultraviolet light is bursting out from the laser generator. It passes through carefully polished lenses at the speed of light. After repeated refraction and change, it is finally adjusted to the appropriate angle and energy value. Wrapped in sharp and precise powerful momentum, it quickly passed on the silicon wafer.

"Success! The test run was successful! We etched a wafer with a 7-nanometer process!" After confirming the machine data, the project engineer announced loudly, and then there was a shout of cheer, accompanied by tears that people couldn't restrain. .

$ 3.45 billion is the cost of S1's c1 production line.

After countless hard work and confrontation, after begging grandfathers to pray like grandma, SMIC finally got a third-generation euV lithography machine produced by asmL.

However, who can think of it, the situation has suddenly changed, and the war of technology has continued to escalate. Before the third generation of asmL machines are put into use, Xingchen Technology has released the fourth generation of lithography products.

The c1 production line was originally prepared for the third-generation machine, but when the fourth-generation machine of Xingchen Technology was unveiled, the board of directors of SMIC Tang immediately made a bold decision.

"Go to his mother's asmL!" Mr. Tang growled on the board of directors. "When is this time? If we don't give priority to the fourth-generation machine of Xingchen Technology and continue to implement the three-generation plan of asmL, we are still personal !?"

The director reminded Tang Boyun that the c1 line had signed a contract with asmL and the supporting equipment was also prepared for the third generation machine.

"Go to his mother's contract!" Tang Boyun shouted, "Pay the money at the price! Let those white-skin pigs get the money and get out of the way! The c1 line must be on the fourth generation machine of Xingchen Technology! If you abandon the newly built c1 line, re- To build a production line for four generations of machines, it will take half a year to say less, and half a year later, daylily is cold! "

Those who were born on this land and bathed in the growth of the Chinese civilization have not yet expressed their feelings about their homeland.

In this way, the production line originally prepared for euV was forcibly replaced with the fourth-generation machine of Xingchen Technology, and the third-generation machine shipped from the Netherlands was thrown directly in the corner to eat ashes.

Luo Jia listened to the cheers in his ears. He was also very happy, but did not show too much excitement.

There was no success that fell from the sky. The cluttered rows of camp beds on the corridor outside the general control are undoubtedly the best proof. The team of Xingchen and SMIC have not closed their eyes for more than a month. In the c1 line, painstaking efforts have been made. Today, the one-time test run was successful, and these upright engineers are the biggest contributors.

"Next, we have to solve the problem of tunneling." Luo Jia said, "The existing silicon wafers are limited by physical properties. At most, three nanometers are used. If you want to go further, you must use silicon or graphene. . "

Tang Boyun calmed down, raised his glasses slightly, and nodded at Luo Jia, "Yeah, now we finally have forty nanometers, twenty-eight nanometers, fourteen nanometers, and seven nanometer wires, which is equal to the world-class level. , But just tying is not enough. Next, we have to go beyond the Jedi. "

Ordinary consumers may not understand the chip foundry industry. A top-level semiconductor factory must be full-architecture and full-process.

Although the 7-nanometer process is currently the most advanced level in the world, it is also expensive. Samples can cost hundreds of millions of dollars at a time. There are only a few top-level chip products in the world, such as Intel and Apple processors, Texas Instruments carrier, Huawei and Qualcomm. For these basebands, only these top-end chips are willing to spend a lot of money on a seven-nanometer process.

And some cheap semiconductor products, such as chips used in old-fashioned radios and tractors for farmland, use cheap chips of hundreds of nanometers or even micrometers.

Therefore, a top-level chip factory needs many production lines to produce a full range of technology products. The c1 line is SMIC's first fourth-generation line and is also a test line of Xingchen Technology. The current design standard is only seven nanometers. After all, It was originally prepared for three generations of seven nanometers, and it was temporarily decided to replace the lithography system.

In the future, SMIC's c2 line will use a five-nanometer process, c3 line two nm, D1 line 0.5 nm, D2 line 0.1 nm ...

In short, Xingchen Technology and SMIC have always been the closest strategic partners. Tough guys will be stationed at SMIC for a long time to help them build all the next-generation production lines, one by one.

Of course, at the same time as the production line is built, the material center must first take out the silene and graphene. Only these two materials can solve the ultra-low stage of the process, the tunneling and electron migration, and the existing silicon wafer technology. We have reached the end of history.

Judging from the current situation, Cao Yuan's graphene laboratory is the most promising. They have reached the stage of fruition. After all, Luo Jia invited this super genius to take a seat in materials science. It has been almost two years, and he also fell down. An incredible amount of money.

"At the latest Chinese New Year, we can get on the graphene wafers." Luo Jiaxin vowed: "Graphene can actually be made all the time, but the output is very low and the price is too high for mass production."

"A chip made of graphene is sold for more than one million yuan, which is really outrageous. Big dogs ca n’t afford it. Cao Yuan ’s graphene laboratory has been doing process optimization. As far as I know, He's making good progress, and it's just a matter of time to bring graphene to the price of cabbage. "

Hahahaha ~

Tang Boyun is overjoyed. Graphene is a well-known future material. Not only chips can be used, but almost all high-tech products can be used. Once the price is hit, they can quickly occupy the global market and impact Western monopoly on advanced materials.

Xingchen Technology has the famous three swordsmen of materials science, Ji Ming, Cao Yuan, and Chao Anbang. It is said that Chao Anbang's superconducting materials laboratory has made rapid progress and may become another weapon for global warfare in the future.

Luo Jia raised her wrist and glanced at the time and said, "I'm sorry, I must leave. Today is New Year's Day. There is a New Year special section on Star Media."

"That being the case, then always go to Luo. Give it to me here. After returning the total data, let everyone take a holiday for the New Year."

"Ah, another year has passed unconsciously." Luo Jia sighed, turning his eyes to the gloomy winter day outside the window, "Xingchen Technology was founded five years ago, and I am one year older."

Uh ~

Luo Jia didn't feel okay. With this opening, everyone in the main control room sprayed.

"Mr. Luo, you founded Xingchen Technology at the age of nineteen. Five years have passed before you were twenty-four."

"Yeah, if you all feel old, aren't we all half-cut into the coffin?"

People are more deadly than popularity. In recent years, people have always heard Luo Jia's name in the news. As many times as possible, their ears are almost cocooning. Many people think of him as an old man in the technology field.

In fact, he is less than 24 years old!

"Beer is ready. What kind of program is recorded? During this time, your private channel is very hard every week. It's better to take a break. Let's celebrate it today!" Someone from SMIC has proposed .

It's hard for them to imagine that Luo Jia runs every day and runs to the studio in the evening. Not only does he record the show himself, do live broadcasts, but also guest host, introduces unknown big guys in the Chinese science and technology industry, and let the audience know.

It can be said that Luo Jia has paid 200% of his efforts in propaganda. He really hopes that his compatriots in his hometown can understand science and love science. Even if he cannot understand complex formulas, at least he must understand the benefits of science. An understanding person who respects science.

Luo Jia smiled and shook his head. "I also want to stay and celebrate, but we will not be occupied by the position of public opinion, we will be occupied by the enemy. Not long ago, how many **** big V rhythm, shook the flag for the comprador class, propaganda It ’s better to buy the **** theory. If we really believe it, there must be no bone residue left by people now. ”

"Xingchen Technology has four generations of lithography machines, and Huawei has launched its ultimate survival plan. This time, SMIC has forcibly launched four generations of machines, and its losses are also in the billions of dollars. Ali ’s boss solemnly vowed to fully support the technology industry Compete with the West and never dig into the country at will. "

"What kind of thing is not enough to write into the history of Huaxia Science and Technology? What are the hot searches on Weibo these past few days? All of them are sisters Ling married with a neon person. Various analyses on the Internet, why does sister Ling Zhi Switching to the man ’s last name, the man has had too many teenage friends, and these shit-breaking incidents have also been picked up. "

The crowd listened to Luo Jia's words, and their hearts were sore and sad. In this age of entertainment, most people only saw a song and dance leveled up, but forgot the land under their feet, and buried the blood and bones of their ancestors.

Luo Jia said loudly: "In the final analysis, the success or failure of this war of science and technology depends on the strength of our science and engineering men!"

"We don't really coax our girlfriends, and we don't know what is elegant. We wear T-shirts and plaid shirts all day, and we carry rustic backpacks in the soil. We have a straight-headed male aesthetic. True, we are a bit earthy, but we have hard bones. A few more! Although we don't like girls ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~, the sea of ​​stars is the real romance for men! "

"If a girl doesn't like to listen, if it's not because of physical needs, who would be so troublesome to find a girlfriend? In this world, it is always a man who knows a man best! A boyfriend is a best friend!"

Luo Jia's words led to a big laugh in the audience. This is the truth. The friendship between men is much stronger than those girls. Of course, there were many girls who cast a scornful look on Luo Jia. The head of the delegation is really ill, and there is no hope for it.

"Okay!" Luo Jia waved to everyone, "Let's celebrate tonight, should I go to the show and compete for entertainment."

"Science must be done at any time! You are the loveliest men in science and engineering. You can't let you suffer and bleed. No one knows in the end."

"To publicize, scientific things, to publicize!"

"I don't care if people in other countries care about science, but I hope that our countrymen can think from the perspective of science. Only by relying on science can the Chinese nation truly rejuvenate and regain their ancestral glory!"
