Chapter 4888

This time, Gordon Moore's enthusiasm for Intel's major shareholders was once again aroused. For Gordon Moore, his whole life is perfect. He started his own business from scratch. After several twists and turns, he finally created the dominant position in the microprocessor industry, and then returned home. His whole life is perfect. He even has a "Moore's law" that he doesn't like to listen to, but it's really awesome.

It can be said that before Lin Feng went to find Gordon Moore, Moore was a big winner in life. However, the big winner of his life lost to Lin Feng because of fishing, and introduced Lin Feng to the board of directors of Intel, but he was humiliated. I don't want to let him get involved in Intel's affairs any more. Do these bastards forget that without him, there would be no Intel today? Had it not been for him, Intel would have fallen in 1976!

Now he's old and nosy, which Gordon Moore can't stand. At that time, he changed jobs many times, from William Shockley semiconductor company to Fairchild Semiconductor Company, and then to the formation of Intel. There was only one reason. Gordon Moore liked the dominant position. He has a strong nature and is eager to be the best in everything he does. After Intel became the best microprocessor company in the world, he felt that he had nothing to pursue. The company was developing on the existing stable Road, so he left Intel and gave the world to young people. As an old man, he went to enjoy his life.

However, now Intel treats him like this, a founder who leads Intel to glory, which makes Gordon Moore very angry. Of course, he won't roar, curse or complain. That's the behavior of the weak, that's the behavior of the useless. For him, he would never choose such a way to fight back against those who despise him.

Success, there will only be facts to fight back each other!

"Mr. Lin, I think it's better for you to acquire another company than to acquire Intel! In this way, from the market point of view, you will not be involved in Monopoly! " Gordon Moore's eyes shine.

"What company?" Lin Feng is curious.

"William Shockley's semiconductor company!" Gordon Moore said.

Lin Feng was stunned. For this, Lin Feng had heard of such a company when he got to know Gordon Moore, but he didn't know what it was actually like.

"Mr. Lin, William Shockley, is one of the most annoying people in my life, and that's him!" When Gordon Moore mentioned this man, his face was disgusted, but at the end, he also showed admiration, "but in my life, I've seen the smartest man, that's him!"

Lin Feng is surprised. Gordon Moore sighs helplessly and tells the story of William Shockley.

William Shockley holds a Ph.D. in solid state physics from MIT and a bachelor's degree from Caltech. Founded with its name William Shockley semiconductor company, to say its greatest achievement is the invention of the transistor.

Transistor is a kind of solid-state semiconductor device, with detection, rectification, amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation and other functions. As a variable current switch, transistor can control the output current based on the input voltage. Different from ordinary mechanical switches, transistors use electrical signals to control their opening and closing, and the switching speed can be very fast, and the switching speed in the laboratory can reach more than 100GHz.

It can be said that without the invention of transistor, there would not be today's TV, let alone computers, which are cross era products. It can be said that William Shockley changed the world. In the past, computers used to use electronic tubes, which are high energy consumption and large volume, so they can only be used as expensive products by national government departments or large enterprises. It is the emergence of transistors that makes it possible for all these electronic products to enter the public.

"At the beginning, after Robert Noyce and I helped William Shockley invent the transistor, we left this hateful and stubborn guy and founded Fairchild Semiconductor Company. During this period, Noyce invented the integrated circuit block, and then we left Fairchild Semiconductor Company, which was founded by ourselves, and created today's Intel, And I created the microprocessor. " Speaking of this, Gordon Moore looks proud.

He can say that one person witnessed the birth of three cross era products. The first is transistors, so that computers, televisions and mobile phones can go to thousands of households. The second is integrated circuit blocks, so that everything can be smaller, faster and more energy-saving. The third is microprocessors, so that the world is really different, and computers can really become the most important tools of human beings!

"At present, the computer industry is in a bottleneck, not only CPU, but also hard disk and memory. CPU is the speed of processor, which has reached the limit. What can be improved now is nothing more than a little bit of speed, and there is no revolutionary progress. Hard disk has reached the bottleneck early. Now, the company can only apply memory technology to hard disk, and put forward solid-state hard disk. This is not a real solution. As for memory, at present, It didn't reach the ceiling, but it wasn't far. And all of this is related to semiconductor technology! We need to go further and develop a new generation of semiconductors! At present, William Shockley company has this technology! " Gordon Moore said, "unfortunately, they are short of funds and management talents! But what he left behind is of infinite value

Lin Feng blinked.

"If so, why is no company willing to buy?" Asked Lin Feng.

"This is the blame for William Shockley. This guy is too arrogant and stubborn. He is the only one who has the final say in Shockley company. He does not allow others to make any comments. He is a genius, the most talented person I have ever met. But he is the worst company manager. He should lead a lab instead of a company. He is the one who made Silicon Valley famous, but he also led to his company. In Silicon Valley, he is notorious. After eight of us left Shockley company in those years, none of us wanted to go there. So, although William Shockley invented the transistor and became a multimillionaire (a multimillionaire in the 1960s), it's a pity that his arrogance, his stubbornness, and his egotism have led to the decline of the company since his death. Today, in addition to the past glory, no one still remember Shockley semiconductor company! Besides, it's the age of microprocessors. " Gordon Moore sneered.

On genius, William Shockley makes him feel inferior. Unfortunately, genius does not necessarily mean that he will manage the company, but he will lead Intel to real glory. It can even be said that he led to the launch of transistors, integrated circuit blocks and microprocessors.

"So what's the use of our acquisition?" Lin Feng asked.

"I'm interested in some of Shockley's notes. As you know, today's semiconductors are in trouble. At present, semiconductors use silicon as the raw material, but the physical and chemical characteristics of silicon itself are so complex that its speed can only reach so fast. Nowadays, it is said that computers are too slow to improve their speed, but the core of computers is microprocessors, while the core of microprocessors is transistors, and the core of transistors is semiconductors. What kind of optical brain and biological brain are all illusory things. At present, many semiconductor companies want to change the material of semiconductors, such as using gallium nitride to replace silicon. But I think both silicon and gallium nitride have their limits. If we want to really innovate, we must create superconductors William Shockley's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

Superconductor! Lin Feng turned his lips.

"Mr. Moore, although I'm not a scientist and I'm not a physicist, I know what superconductors are. The so-called superconductor is the property that when the temperature of the conductive material is close to absolute zero, the resistance of the material tends to zero under the thermal motion of the molecule“ "Superconductor" refers to conductive materials that can carry out superconducting transmission. Zero resistance and diamagnetism are two important characteristics of superconductors. This is really the best material for all kinds of electronic products. But I also know one thing, that is, the first premise of this is "absolute zero". Not to say, it must reach "absolute zero". At least, it must be close to "absolute zero" in order to have this characteristic. How can it be achieved at room temperature! " Lin Feng turned his mouth.

Gordon Moore laughs.

"Naturally, according to the current scientific cognition, superconductors do not exist. However, I got the news from an uncertain source that before his death, William Shockley had been studying superconductors at room temperature, which exhausted the company's working capital. With the copyright of his invention of transistor, the company also expired a few years ago, so it went from bad to worse. This is a great opportunity to acquire Shockley semiconductor company. And I can get his diary, maybe I can make a breakthrough! " Gordon Moore's vision is bright, "and our cooperation is that Mr. Lin will take over Shockley semiconductor company and become the boss, while I will become a shareholder. At least, Mr. Lin will look at the number of shares. And my only requirement is that the company must be controlled by me! " Gordon Moore showed his ambition, "I want to create a miracle again, a miracle that Intel can look up to!"

"Deal!" Lin Feng held out his hand.
