Chapter 1696 Spring Festival Gift (Part 1)

It has not been a day or two for Huaxia to be stuck on the chip. It has been like this almost since the need for use.

Needless to say, military products, before the new century, no matter how hard you tried, military products could not be obtained in large quantities. At most, single-digit chips could be obtained for research. It was impossible to use them, and they could only be smuggled. People's goods go up.

That's right, for a long period of time, domestic military chips were smuggled foreign civilian products. It is conceivable how difficult the situation was at that time.

It's better now, at least in terms of civilian products, foreign countries are no longer so blocked, and the latest CPU can be used in a month or two at most, but in many sensitive industries, it is still a situation of starvation.

If it weren't for the critical situation, there would not be a large investment plan for the country to sell iron and iron to Godson. However, the premise of all this, whether it is designing chips by oneself or independent intellectual property rights, there is always a problem involved, and that is chip manufacturing.

Silicon wafers are now produced in domestic factories, but in terms of chip manufacturing, they still lag far behind the international level. Chips newly designed in China had to be streamed abroad. Before the new century, many manufacturers, including Huawei, had to rely on Motorola to produce their own chips.

If you can't do it yourself, you will inevitably be manipulated by others. People will bow their heads to help when they are happy, and before tape-out, they have to bring over the design drawings to see if there are any military designs and the like, and then produce them after review. That feeling is more uncomfortable and humiliating than living under the fence .

Many people in the chief engineer and the project team are engaged in this industry. Whoever has no experience of being made things difficult by others, the memories are full of tears! Who can tell clearly what it feels like?

But now, at this moment, in everyone's hearts, there is a feeling that all hardships will be rewarded. No, it can't be described in this way. When I just completed the test of the 90-nanometer process, I already felt that all the hardships have come, and now it is clearly a feeling of elation!

It tasted so good that everyone wanted to cry. Obviously happy, obviously happy, obviously a kind of joy that breaks through the siege of foreign countries and leaps into the dragon's gate, but why is it so exciting?

Forty-five nanometer process! Now Intel's most advanced technology may still be researched between 60nm and 50nm, and the reserve technology is estimated to be between 60nm and 70nm, but we have suddenly entered within 50nm?

dare not! Do not believe! Incredible! The most important thing is to confirm first, are you in a dream?

Obviously, not! Since it is not a dream, then all this is reality! We, really designed and manufactured the most advanced lithography machine in the world?

The eerie silence lasted for more than a minute before it exploded as everyone looked at each other. Cheers rang out instantly, and the sudden explosion nearly overturned the entire workshop. The people in the project team screamed and jumped, venting unscrupulously, and the scene immediately became a sea of ​​joy.

Fortunately, the workshop where the operator is located is isolated from the lithography machine itself. The lithography machine is placed in an isolated environment with constant temperature and humidity, and it is behind a separate anti-seismic ditch and anti-seismic wall, so the movement here will not interfere Go there, otherwise, the vibration caused by these people jumping and screaming is enough to slightly change the accuracy of the debugged lithography machine.

After being crazy for several minutes, everyone gradually calmed down, and then slowly realized that the project team finally made a successful prototype, not only achieved a zero breakthrough, but also surpassed the design and production of domestic lithography machines in one fell swoop. Technology has been pushed to the forefront of the world, becoming a leading international, from catching up to super.

Catching up and catching up, the realization of the former is enough for people to be happy, but the realization of the latter is a huge breakthrough.

"Everyone knows the secrecy system, but I still want to emphasize that everything that happened today, including this period, must be kept secret." After calming down, the chief teacher immediately announced the discipline: "Even parents and wives cannot tell .”

In the project team, there are actually quite a few military experts. At this time, no one said any nonsense, just nodded.

"Mr. Guo, let's go to the meeting room." The chief teacher suppressed his excitement and invited Guo Tailai.

Everyone understands how this prototype came about. Even if they have made a perfect design, it’s useless if they can’t make it and assemble it. The most critical step is Guo Tailai’s help to realize it, which is the foundation of everyone’s dream. Watching Guo Tailai leave the workshop, a group of people clapped their hands clapping, and Guo Tailai had no choice but to clap their hands over and over again.

"Mr. Guo, the manufacture of lithography machines..." The chief teacher couldn't wait to ask Guo Tailai as soon as he sat down in the meeting room before he could drink some tea.

"We have an agreement." Guo Tailai replied with a smile: "I am in charge of making samples and making out the installation manual."

The head teacher couldn't hide the disappointed expression on his face, he knew Guo Tailai's role in this better than anyone else. To put it bluntly, with Guo Tailai, the lithography machine can achieve a 45-nanometer process. Without Guo Tailai, I am afraid that the 90-nanometer process will be the limit in the short term. Leaving aside the issue of parts processing, the adjustment of assembly accuracy alone is enough for the five senior assembly engineers to spend a long time learning and pondering.

"Chief, an industry can't be supported by me alone!" Guo Tailai knew why the chief was disappointed, but he had to tell the truth: "We must train enough industrial engineers! It takes time, it takes time. Practice requires enough patience and sufficient capital investment, we have only taken the first step now, and there is still a long way to go in the future!"

As the chief teacher, how could you not understand this truth? It's just that he just saw the extraordinary performance of the prototype and saw the result of catching up, and he was a little anxious. Hearing the words, he also nodded slightly, and said with some regret: "Time is waiting for me!"

"I understand your feelings, but I don't agree with your approach." Guo Tailai took over the conversation: "To be honest, the country has not invested enough in truly high-quality manufacturing engineers so far."

Why doesn't the chief teacher understand? The lack of high-end industrial engineers is a national problem, not a matter of one industry or one company. Now the country has realized the problem and is trying to make up for it.

"I am manufacturing several ultra-high-precision grinding machines. Combined with the LODTM lathe, all parts of the lithography machine should be able to be produced." Guo Tailai revealed a little bit about what he will do next: "What to do next, I don't need to continue to remind right?"
