Chapter 2015

If an enterprise wants to be truly strong, it must have R & D capability. Don't talk about globalization and technology without borders. When it is suppressed by household technology, it will know how stupid it is. It can only be prepared to deal with all threats.

Many of the science and technology of the Han country is already the most advanced in this era, but the Han country must continue to develop and maintain the commanding heights in this field.

Among them, the chip industry is a key. The release of Hanxin chips in that year led the trend of the whole world, earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country, and became the rule setter in this field. However, other chip manufacturers are also catching up in the later stage.

Eagle country has a solid foundation in science and technology, and kimchi country and other countries compete with Han country by relying on the high subsidies of the state. In short, in this field, it is absolutely backward if you don't advance.

Hanguo's CPU research and development has been very powerful. A few years ago, Hanxin 3 chip has brought the main frequency of CPU into the field of GHz, far away from its competitors. Accordingly, the process has been further improved. At the same time, it also means that the equipment should be updated.

The production of chips requires all kinds of high-precision equipment. In the history of parallel time and space, the shortage of lithography and etching machines in Han Dynasty is the most serious.

Lithography machine is to carve on silicon wafer with laser. It is one of the core equipment of chip manufacturing. According to its purpose, there are several kinds, such as chip production, chip packaging, and projection lithography machine for LED manufacturing.

The key is to produce chips. The chip manufacturing process has entered the era of 0.18 microns. Although there is still a generation gap of two orders of magnitude in the next few nanometers, it is necessary to develop these devices from now on.

In the past, the processing equipment was exchanged by Qin Guan, but with the continuous development of technology, more advanced equipment will not appear in the cemetery. Your side must have the ability of self-development, so that it will not be controlled by others.

When it comes to high-end lithography machines, one must think of ASML, its leader. It is a department jointly established by several chip giants. It is located in a small country with a small number of people. It produces more than a dozen sets every year. It is at the top of the pyramid in the whole chip manufacturing field. At that time, when Han wanted to buy it, it was stuck by others until Han developed it, The other side began to export to the Han country again.

Now, these devices are the focus of Ni Gong's R & D.

"The lithography machine is a main way for us to process chips. The lithography machine shoots the circuit diagram onto the silicon wafer, develops it by chemical method, and obtains the circuit on the silicon wafer. Now, our existing lithography machine can only reach the technical level of 0.18 micron, which can no longer meet the production of our next generation of chips. The lithography machine developed by ourselves plans to adopt the process of 0.13 micron, After improvement, it can reach 90 nm. "

0.13 micron is 130 nm. According to popular parlance, I like to say micron, but when it comes to 0.09 micron, I'm used to saying nano, which is a leap from micron to nano.

Qin Guan nodded: "yes, after our 0.13 micron lithography machine is successfully developed, we can invest the 0.18 micron lithography machine in the market at a high price."

Qin Guan's words stunned Ni Gong: "why?"

He is very strange. Now, other peers are still struggling with the 0.35 micron technology. Our own side occupies the commanding height of science and technology. If our side exports the 0.18 micron equipment, won't they improve the process and improve their technical level?

It's bad for you.

"Because we are a responsible big country, we can improve the level of the electronic industry all over the world." Qin Guan said. When he said this, his tone was strange. Ni Gong knew that what he said was certainly not true, but he was embarrassed to ask. This was not his concern. As long as president Qin decided to do it himself.

In fact, this is a very simple business competition. Qin Guan secretly thought that Ni Gong can only do technology, not business. If Lisa was here, she must be able to figure it out at once.

Now, ASML has just been established for two years. It is still a little brother. It carries out research and development in a simple wooden shed office. It is not in the eyes of Qin Guan for the time being. The leader of the current lithography machine is Nikon. This company has made rapid progress in the lithography machine and obtained orders from many western countries. It can be said that it is at the peak of the sun, but their technology is not enough, There is a big gap between China and China. Therefore, as long as China is willing to export lithography machines and suddenly improve the process to 0.18 microns, it can be said that Nikon's lithography machines will not be sold immediately.

Now that Qin Guan has begun to engage in the electronic industry, it is a goal to be the boss and crush the people of other countries! To achieve this goal, it is to engage in commercial action.

Ni Gong doesn't understand this and doesn't need him to understand it. Wait until you see your combination boxing.

"In addition to the lithography machine, there is also the etching machine," Ni Gong continued.

Speaking of chip manufacturing, many people will think of lithography machine, but they don't know much about etching machine.

If you make a simple analogy, the lithography machine draws the circuit diagram on the silicon wafer, but it is not deep enough. Only with the etching machine can you carve out the circuit and remove the unnecessary things on the silicon wafer through the action of plasma.

Compared with the lithography machine, the etching machine is less difficult. In the parallel space-time of later generations, Han has been able to develop a 5-nm etching machine, but the lithography machine has made slow progress in tens of nanometers.

Ni Gong introduced the progress in detail, and Qin Guan nodded repeatedly: "yes, our progress is very fast. It seems that we can successfully commercialize next year."

"Yes, next year, we are also preparing to develop our Hansen 4 CPU. The core frequency of this CPU is planned to reach 2GHz."

In the development of CPU, the first thing is to sprint to a higher frequency until it reaches 3 or 4GHz, and then it will stop. In fact, in addition to special data processing, a higher frequency can't be used at all.

"I suggest you change your mind. In addition to increasing the frequency, you can also consider adding cores. Integrate two or even more processor cores in one CPU, which will be helpful in multitasking," Qin Guan said.

Qin Guan pointed out a new direction to Ni Gong!
