Chapter 1437 Chip (Part 2)

The chip is still the original chip, but many packaging parts have been ablated, exposing the circuit and chip structure. Obviously, this has been studied.

The moment he saw this chip, Guo Tailai knew what was causing the battle in front of him.

The 8086 CPU that Guo Tailai made back then used a processing accuracy of 50 nanometers, which was higher than the 0.25 micron process of the latest Pentium III at that time. 0.25 microns is 250 nanometers. Pentium III is five times higher.

Even if all the new Pentium 4 3.06GHz processors use a 130nm process, which is twice as precise as the Pentium 3, they are still not the opponent of Guo Tailai's hand-made chips.

"Yes!" Guo Tailai nodded and admitted, "It was a work a few years ago. Uncle Chu, why is this chip here?"

This is a sample made by Guo Tailai himself for the company, and it should not have appeared in the hands of the military. Now this colonel officer actually took it out, which surprised Guo Tailai.

"Let me explain." The colonel officer didn't wait for General Chu to speak, and immediately explained: "When we were discussing the difficulty of making encryption chips with your company's chip designer, your designer thought that it could impact a more difficult design. And we don't think so. Based on the complex chips your employees design, we think that the size of the chip may exceed the limit size and cause thermal problems, but your employees don't think so."

Guo Tailai asked General Chu how the chip got into the hands of the military, in fact he was asking why the military would directly take away the company's technical information. Taking without warning is a matter of principle.

"When you can't argue, your staff took out this chip to prove that the size of the chip can be limited within the range specified by us." The colonel officer also knew that Guo Tailai would be very unhappy if he didn't explain clearly, so he quickly continued Said: "We asked our superiors, and after negotiating with Mr. Mi, we took the chip away for research."

Mi Feifei also nodded beside him: "Yes, boss, I agree."

Guo Tailai nodded slightly, since Mi Feifei agreed, then there is no problem. She is the CEO of the company and of course has the authority to make decisions.

"How is the research going?" Guo Tailai asked the colonel officer.

"Unbelievable!" The colonel officer tried very hard to express his opinion, but he still felt that he couldn't express himself clearly after saying something unbelievable, so he couldn't help but continued: "I don't know how this is done, but it is obviously better than ours. Any domestic lithography machine is precise. To be precise, it is more powerful than the most advanced technology in the world."

Chips can be manufactured in China, but they can only be low-precision and low-efficiency. The latest and highest-level equipment must be embargoed to China. Sometimes, the military can only find ways to purchase and use civilian chips to complete certain functions, and the design of civilian chips obviously cannot fully meet the security and stability requirements of military chips.

Although military chips may not be the latest technology on the market due to stability requirements, domestically produced chips still cannot reach the same level as similar foreign chips. Suddenly, it was discovered that Guo Tailai could manufacture chips that were more sophisticated than the latest foreign technology chips. Almost all those who had the authority to know felt like they had won a big prize.

It doesn't need to reach the 50nm process level of Guo Tailai's chip, as long as it can achieve 150nm, the domestic chip industry will directly rush to the international leading level. All related industries, from scientific research to military industry to aerospace and even to satellite industry, will achieve a huge leap forward.

To use a simple example to describe, take satellites as an example, the area of ​​all chips can be reduced to a quarter or even smaller than the original, and integrated circuits can be made more sophisticated and complex, and the functions that satellites of the same size and weight can achieve , when the thickness of the chip remains the same, the easiest way is to increase it by four times. Take Guo Tailai's communication satellite as an example, with four more communication modules, the total bandwidth can be increased by four times, and the service channels can be increased by four times, which is still only half the effect of reducing the side length. Obviously, if the 150nm process can be achieved, the shrinkage may be more than half, and Guo Tailai can still make it even smaller.

"Energy production?" General Chu interrupted and asked eagerly. Guo Tailai's question just now was not polite, but General Chu showed no sign of anger at all, he was more concerned about how far Guo Tailai could go.

"No!" Guo Tailai shook his head honestly and said, "It is carefully carved by hand. Each piece will take different time depending on the number of transistors, and the efficiency is extremely low."

Obviously, this answer did not satisfy General Chu, he was very disappointed. If Guo Tai comes to energy production, then the various chips used by the military will be greatly upgraded to a higher level, which will be a revolutionary improvement for the information construction of the entire army.

"Mr. Guo, since you have this skill, is it possible to build a few high-precision lithography machines yourself?" The middle-aged man who had been silent all this time finally opened his mouth at this time, directly to the point.

"If there is a detailed design of the lithography machine, I don't think it's a big problem." Guo Tailai replied with a smile: "I'm not particularly proficient in the optical part, but if there is a complete design, it's just processing and manufacturing." And assembly, there should be no problem. The processing accuracy of LODTM can reach more than ten nanometers, and the process accuracy of the current lithography machine has not reached this level, right? "

Guo Tailai's words made everyone's eyes light up in the meeting room. Yes indeed! Although Guo Tailai's hand-processed chips cannot be mass-produced, Guo Tailai can be used to manufacture high-precision lithography machines! With a high-precision lithography machine, are you afraid that high-precision chips cannot be mass-produced?

Originally, the middle-aged man wanted to use other methods to verify it, but after hearing the name of LODTM, he didn't say anything more. Guo Tailai has already built a lathe with this precision, so there is no need to prove anything. Just like in the manufacture of supercars, the car designed and manufactured by Mr. T no longer needs to be run on any track to prove it.

In fact, many people and many countries know the principle of lithography machines, but very few can do it. Now, Guo Tailai's handmade chip made everyone see a completely different prospect immediately.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" General Chu asked with a bit of resentment. This chip was made several years ago. If we knew about it earlier, wouldn't domestic chips have already taken the lead in the world?

"No one asked!" Guo Tailai yelled: "The lithography machine was included in the national 863 major scientific and technological research plan last year, right? I don't know the lithography machine. I really don't understand!"
