Technological Hegemony

North America, Silicon Valley.

"Luo Jia is a profit-seeking businessman." The Jewish dwarf Larry Page said in a face of many technocrats. "You have to believe me. Now Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology, it looks like It seemed aggressive and launched a crazy offensive against us, but all of this was nothing more than a weight on the negotiating table. "

Larry Page turned to look at his old partner Sergey Brin. The Russian fighting nation still didn't like to talk. He froze, as if the cold current of Siberia was freezing.

"About Luo Jia, Sergey and I can't be more familiar." Larry Page raised his chin and said, "Think back then that the star search engine was born, and the filtering mechanism of that engine, even today, it still looks like It is unprecedented. It seems to have penetrated the mind of human beings. What kind of results you want, the engine will show you what kind of results. The algorithm is so clever that we have to give up.

"In just a few months, Star Search was like a Mongolian Iron Ride that swept the world, completely turned Baidu and Bing, and extended its tentacles to North America. For a while, both Sergei and I thought that Google really To die, we can't resist the Chinese savages, but what happens? Are we still alive and well? "

After hearing the shameless boast of the Jews, someone finally couldn't hold back, and said with a cold hum: "Huh! The reason why you are still alive is to get everything in return! Although Google ’s search engine has been kept, your Android, but it has been The star system is stunned to the end! "

"It was a complete slaughter! The Chinese people started from the Great Wall built by their ancestors, killing the Middle East and Africa, killing Europe and the Atlantic, killing the Andes and the Mariana Trench! Just because you ca n’t stop it, The vital mobile phone operating system lost! How dare you mention it today? "

Larry Page's face was cloudy, and there was an uncontrollable laughter around him.

Don't look at Google's reputation in the private sector. Many ignorant people like Google very much, but in the technology circle, everyone knows what the company is doing.

For example, Google has always advertised itself as not doing evil, but what is the fact?

According to Snowdon ’s leaked prism plan, North America monitors the world. The only major technology group that opposes and refuses to cooperate is Apple that everyone thinks is the most overbearing and least favorite.

Google, full of benevolence and morality, ran away and cooperated with North American authorities to monitor all Internet users. Google was the happiest. They even helped North American authorities develop online weapons.

The world is complex. We living in this complex world must not only listen to their remarks, but also observe their actions. True kindness and morality do not need to be promoted with great fanfare. Those who slogan the mountain sounds lest others do not know Guys, often men and women.

"Actually, my partner only wanted to express one core meaning, that is, for a businessman, everything is negotiable." Sergey finally couldn't help but said, "Based on our experience in dealing with Luo Jia, he is typical Businessman, we should negotiate with him as soon as possible. "

"So far, Xingchen Technology only has three cards in it, lithography machine, photoresist, industrial software, and semiconductors. It is not enough to have a lithography machine, so Xingchen Technology can't make any big waves, but if we Continue to wait until they get the masks, the wafers, the packages, and more semiconductor upstream technology, and then go to negotiations, it will be difficult. "

This is Google's attitude. Everyone is a businessman asking for money. Don't fight any more. While Star Technology has not got more key technologies, hurry up and negotiate.

Some of the big guys on the site nodded in agreement. They are a hardware manufacturing group headed by Intel, Nvidia and AMD. Don't look at the Star brand photoresist is only a very basic chemical material and the price is very low, but for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, This thing is terribly terrible.

Xingchen brand photoresist is a fully modified synthetic material, which can greatly improve the yield. With Xingchen brand photoresist, the cost of a single chip is one hundred US dollars, and it needs 150 to one to replace it with Shin-Etsu brand made by neon. One hundred and seventy dollars, the cost is too high, there is no money to make chips.

干 Who does a business that doesn't make money these days?

So Intel they ca n’t wait to negotiate, the world is big, and they make the most money.

As for Google, this unfortunate child and Xingchen Technology are violent, and they are still on the cusp of the wind every time. Someone who beats Xingchen Technology, Xingchen Technology means Google.

Opposition to the talks was opposed by software groups headed by Synopsys and Oracle, plus the strength of the North American scientific research community and the military.

"We're done!"

Just when everyone was arguing, there was a sudden exclaim, and looking at the sound, I saw a young man sitting in the corner. It was not clear that it was the boss's follower. He was not qualified to attend the meeting. Table, so hide in the corner and play with mobile phone.

Facing the questioning and angry eyes of many big guys, the young man stunned and said in a difficult voice: "I'm watching a live interview with Star TV. Luo Jia said that they want to replace the existing silicon wafers with graphene and directly Enter the Pimi process! "

Graphene?

Pimi class! ?

Maybe it was because the news came too suddenly. In the conference room of the Semiconductor Alliance, Ya Que was silent, with increasingly ugly faces, staring at each other.

At this moment, the big brothers are a little bit embarrassed. Is the fourth generation of lithography machines of Xingchen Technology not powerful?

Of course, it is powerful, super invincible, and can be used to make high-power machines for the next generation of chips. I am afraid that no one can surpass it in the next few decades.

Since the fourth-generation lithography machine of Xingchen Technology is so powerful, why isn't North America and the West afraid?

The reason is simple, the material is not enough.

One nanometer is equal to one thousand picometers. To allow the semiconductor manufacturing industry to enter the picoscale process, the existing silicon wafers cannot be completed, and tunneling and electron migration will occur. Therefore, if you want to create the next generation of semiconductors, you need the next one. New generation of wafer materials.

At present, there are not many choices for next-generation semiconductor materials, either silene or graphene. The common characteristics of these two materials are the explosion of performance. At the same time, the difficulty of research and development is extremely high. The West has been engaged for decades. No clue has been found so far.

Therefore, if Xingchen Technology wants to become a real opponent in the West, only four generations of lithography machines are not enough. It also needs to deal with the big problem of wafers. As for how to encapsulate rare wafers and how to use masking materials during exposure, These problems are still unresolved.

In short, scientific and technological research and development is a very difficult task. Unlike in the movie, the lithography machine was settled in the last second, and the chip produced energy in the next second.

快 "Quick! Cast your live video on the big screen!"

"Translation, we need Chinese translation!"

After a brief silence, the scene exploded completely.

"Should there be no scams? If Xingchen Technology did get the graphene material, it would be a landmark event equivalent to Armstrong's moon landing! They did not even open the press conference, and announced it casually?"

"Who said no, let's take a look before we say it. So suddenly, we didn't even have a little preparation!"

"Translation! Where is the translation !?"

After some confusion, the projector was finally connected successfully, and the translation was found, and there was more than one. Since Star Magazine has been academia in recent years, more or less people who are engaged in scientific research must learn Chinese, otherwise they cannot read academic report.

I saw Luo Jia in the picture with a light cloud, and said to Professor Yuan Lanfeng: "I need to explain to my audience friends that the large-area graphene is not a semiconductor, and armchair graphene nano Tape is the semiconductor material that can be used to create chips. "

Boom ~

Far away in North America, the conference room of the Semiconductor Alliance was bleak. All scientists who have worked in graphene know that Luo Jia is right. Graphene is used directly to make chips. That is nonsense. To achieve the next generation of semiconductor materials, first It is necessary to mass produce graphene, and then continue to refine the technology to produce armchair-type graphene nanoribbons.

Professor Yuan Lanfeng's eyes brightened, and his face asked with excitement, "Is our graphene nanoribbon successfully developed?"

Luo Jia nodded gently: "Of course, in order to solve the band distribution problem, we first choose to calculate the crystal structure and inverted lattice of graphene. The so-called inverted lattice is the Fourier transform wave corresponding to the lattice space. Vector space, it sounds complicated, but in short, it means momentum space. This space is important because all the narratives about the motion of graphene electrons must be expanded in momentum space. "

"The energy band distribution of graphene is calculated using the tight-binding model. In the tight-binding model, if electrons want to transition to other places, they need to escape from the atom's potential field. We consider the electrons near the atoms as The main role of the atomic potential field, and the effects of other atomic potential fields, are considered as perturbations, and a mathematical model is established to obtain the energy band distribution ... "

Although it is just a live broadcast of popular science interviews, Luo Jia still maintains a high level of professionalism as much as possible. North American colleagues watch it with interest, but the time when they started to watch the live broadcast is actually too late and the focus has passed. Before this, Luo Jia Jia explained Cao Yuan's important invention, the ultrasonic destructor.

Ultrasonic destructors are a bit like expensive instruments used in the medical field, ultrasonic knives, except that ultrasonic knives are used for surgery, while sonic destructors are used for large-scale graphene decomposition and stripping.

Generally speaking, simplicity, rudeness, and effectiveness are the biggest features of this ultrasonic destructor. His brain is wide open, and the lithium niobate nano-piezo film developed for the ultrasonic motor has been used in the graphene peeling experiment. Ultrasound stripped the spiral array with amazing results.

As we all know, graphene is a two-dimensional material consisting of hexagonal honeycomb lattices composed of carbon atoms sp2 and forming a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. As the thinnest and hardest material known in the world, graphene is only 0.335 nanometers thick. When 200,000 pieces of graphene are stacked together, it is only one hair thick.

If you want to peel off graphene with a thickness of only 0.335 nanometers, a scalpel will not work ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ but ultrasound can! Cao Yuan's ultrasonic deconstruction array created a miracle and solved the big problem of humans' access to graphene raw materials.

With enough and cheap enough raw materials, there will be armchair-type graphene nanobelts for making chips, and more applications of graphene materials in technology fields.

"This is probably what it looks like." Luo Jia said with a smile in the studio. "Now we can manufacture graphene on a large scale. After the lithography machine, we have solved the second major problem of the next-generation chip. It's not a time of celebration or pride, because we still have to tackle masking and packaging testing, and there are still many issues to solve. "

Luo Jia talked eloquently, the problems of the lithography machine, the problems of the next-generation wafers, and the inverse problems have been overcome.

Opposite the Pacific Ocean, the big names in the semiconductor field in North America were pale, shuddering, and swallowed hard.

They remembered a word that Luo Jia had said a few months ago, also in this studio.

"Children make choices, adults, all of them!"
