At the command of boss Jia, the researchers who were going to have a holiday can only continue to fight and continue to check ASML equipment.
After hearing this order, many researchers of the center expressed dissatisfaction, because they felt that ASML, as an internationally renowned large enterprise and the most qualified western enterprise, could not engage in such means. Boss Jia was completely trying to control the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain and was conducting blindly.
There is nothing strange about this mentality. In the eyes of people in this era, the west is the light of civilization and will never do such a thing.
However, it was hard to disobey their fate. They obediently checked the ASML equipment according to boss Jia's order, and then they collectively closed their mouths in less than a day.
Because they found in the first inspection that the equipment is completely different from the official description in many dimensions. For example, there is a lens, which says that it is 0.2547, but it is actually 0.2560, a difference of 0.0003.
This size error seems very normal. After all, 110000 level error is inevitable.
But this is not a lathe of tens of thousands of dollars, but a lithography machine of hundreds of millions of dollars, especially the core parts. The accuracy requirement of 110000 level is only basic, and many other accuracy requirements are at the nano level.
After two days of testing, it is found that there are a total of 13 errors that are inconsistent with the label, and all of these 13 places are the most important parts related to the normal operation and operation of the lithography machine. Any local error will lead to fatal changes in the final result.
Similarly, these are the data of three places, which were copied by Ni Guangnan without hesitation, and became the size of Daqian's own test object.
Soon, a group of programmers transferred from BiliBili arrived and began to check the control program of the lithography machine.
In fact, to be honest, the data problems of ASML on the device are still very hidden. Special equipment needs to be used. It takes a lot of time and energy to detect the problems. Normal people will never check them under normal circumstances.
However, the program of the device is very simple. The program team picked up the whole code, but in half a day, they have found out all the problems in the code.
There are 25 hidden problems, all of which are secretly modified by the setting parameters on the bright side.
For example, the setting parameter of a data on the surface is 22.33333, but it becomes 22.44444 during the operation of the program, which makes you think that the data required for this part of the function during normal operation is 22.33333, and then move this data to the lithography machine developed by yourself.
Finally, when the researchers of the whole institute saw these hidden means, they were all surprised and sweating. They didn't know that all the data they were used to in experiments and work were false.
"These guys are shameless!" seeing these results, Ni Guangnan Qi's straight hammer table, if boss Jia's head is not smart enough and finds out the reason with the fastest speed, he may not be able to find out where the error comes from in his life.
Who would have thought that all the data normally used in ASML on weekdays are actually wrong. If Ni Guangnan looks for problems alone, I'm afraid he will only suspect that there is a problem with his own design or materials. He won't think there is a problem with ASML data at all.
"There's nothing shameless. On the contrary, it's not wrong for others to do so. After all, it's to protect their own intellectual property rights!" boss Jia said with great approval instead of smiling at ASML "If I can, I really want to dig up the talents who do this anti Shanzhai system. These wrong data designed by him are really perfect and directly stuck at the 70nm node!"
"When you make chips below 70nm, these data will lead to low yield, but they can be used normally. Only 70nm can not succeed, so you will think that there is something wrong with your own, not these data. After all, all the data have been verified in previous experiments and production!"
"In my opinion, even these forged data can't be designed without more than ten years of immersion in the lithography machine and master level ability. After all, the difficulty of designing these false data is no less than that of finding out the real data. It's really a personal talent!"
Seeing that his apprentice didn't scold ASML, but took a fancy to someone else's anti copycat engineer, Ni Guangnan was speechless in an instant.
However, boss Jia is not wrong. ASML data is confidential, which can only be used. Taking these data to make your own lithography machine is equivalent to smashing someone else's pot with someone else's shovel. This is really a very despicable thing.
ASML makes no mistakes in these anti copycat means. In fact, it is the thief who is wrong.
Thinking of this place, Ni Guangnan had a red face, but soon returned to normal. After all, I do these things not for myself, but for the whole Chinese electronic industry.
Thieves are thieves. If they can steal the prosperity and prosperity of the motherland, it's all worth it.
"Teacher, since the problem has been found out, let's take a rest. Give us a few more days off to make up for the spirit of consumption, and then recalculate and measure the data. Whether it is the data with problems or the data without problems, all the data will be recalculated and used after they are determined to be accurate!" said boss Jia.
"In that case, it will take us at least more than a year!" Ni Guangnan sighed and re measured the data. It's easy to say, just measure it on the ASML equipment.
However, the problem is that many data can not be measured and can only be obtained by experiments again. In this way, the time cost is very huge. The equipment that has been successfully developed will be delayed for another year.
"It's only one year. I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not so bad! The key is that we can't make the same mistake again. In addition, we should keep our eyes open. Don't bring a lot of data directly. We should also test ourselves, otherwise we'll have a headache if there's another Oolong this year!" boss Jia smiled.
"Well, it's not your turn to teach me!" Ni Guangnan glanced at boss Jia, but he remembered that.
After this incident, Daqian's research center no longer superstitious about any foreign technology and data, and formed the good habit of self verification.
For example, it's like copying the paper in the exam. After Daqian copied the answers, he calculated them along the problem-solving ideas. As a result, he found many mistakes, many of which were not even intentional, but the mistakes that the other party thought were correct.
So that later copied very well, the best test results are higher than their own plagiarized objects, so that the copied people have no gap. They just think Daqian is really better than themselves. Otherwise, how can the plagiarizer's score be higher than his own plagiarized score!
