C399 I Don't Have Time to Deal with This Boastful Fellow
What did this mean?
The CPU production process referred to the process of processing various circuits and electronic components during the production of CPU. The manufacturing wires were connected to various components and so on. The number of nanometers used in the manufacturing process referred to the distance between the IC internal circuits and circuits. (Some said that the width of this wire, or the width of the chip's most basic unit circuit.)
In short, the smaller the number, the more densely packed it meant that the circuits inside were. This also meant that in the same size of an IC, there could be more high-density and more complex circuit design. At the same time, the most expensive one was the crystal circle. If more circuits were integrated, it also meant that the cost could be reduced.
The development and progress of microelectronics technology mainly relied on the continuous improvement of technology. From 1971 onwards, the A.I. Chip's manufacturing process went through 10 micrometers, 6 micrometers, 3 micrometers, 1.5 micrometers, 1 micrometer, 800 nanometers, 600 nanometers... all the way to the 10 nanotechnology in the future.
Now, in Qin Guan's impression, he felt that nanomaterials were the basic unit. Who would have thought that his question would make Elder Wang think that he was here to humiliate him.
"Our current production is 10 micrometers." Elder Wang said, "If you're talking about nanomaterials, it's ten thousand nanomaterials."
Ten micrometers, a technology level achieved overseas in '71. Back then, the first generation of CPU4004 in Intel used the technology of 10 micrometers. Now, almost ten years had passed, and China was still using the technology level of 10 micrometers.
With this level of technology, the A.I. Chip designed and manufactured would not have much potential to develop.
Qin Guan frowned. At this moment, he had already entered the brain's system.
Lathe cemetery, start!
To improve the processing level in the country, they needed to carry out the industrial mothership, which was the exchange of lathes!
After unlocking the machine tools graveyard, Qin Guan brought in high precision Cnc Machine Tool and completed the processing of the most precise high-pressure pump in the heavy truck engine. And now, what Qin Guan wanted to find was the machine tool to produce the chip.
It was called a lathe. It was a general term. In the production of the CPU, the carving machine and Lithography Machine were the most important parts. These could also be considered as lathes in a broad sense.
In the process of processing by the chip, the Lithography Machine was placed into a sample and the carving machine was built. The cleaning machine would be cleaned. After that, it would be repeated dozens of times. Generally, it would require around 500 processes. The A.I. Chip, which was the integrated circuit of the crystal tube, could be completed. (Of course, there's also the process of coating. I won't talk about it anymore.)
In the future, this kind of machine can also be produced in the country. Although it could not be compared to the advanced level overseas, it could still reach a relatively high level. For example, the Changchun Light Machine's "Extreme Violet Light" had a breakthrough and could reach about 22-32 nanometers.
This kind of technology. It was impossible for a Lithography Machine of this level to enter the graveyard. In the 1990s, for example, the most representative chip, the 80486 chip. In the beginning, the process of using 1 micrometer was used, but later on, the process of using 0.6 micrometer was used. This 1 micron technology was completely outdated in later generations. Even the lowest level chips were starting to have dozens of nanometers. Thus, the previous equipment was already obsolete.
Compared to the later generations, it was outdated. However, compared to this era, if one used 1 nanometer, it would definitely be a blockbuster. He was ahead of the other countries by more than ten years.
Hurry up and find it!
Lithography Machine, the boss of the dragon head was an ASML, but Qin Guan did not want to use the foreign Lithography Machine.
That's right, this is the pride in his heart, the sense of honor and humiliation, or perhaps it is called being petty and causing trouble.
In the future, after seeing the Chip Industry being sealed off, the domestic research and development began on its own. To achieve a breakthrough, when the domestic chip production reached 20 nanometers, suddenly, the foreign monopoly was removed.
The controlling company of the Y Country, the ASML Lithography Machine manufacturer, suddenly announced that when did we have a monopoly on the Han Country? We never said it before. Now, we can provide it to you!
Hence, the 7nano-technology Lithography Machine was actually transported to the Han Country and sold to the Han Country's chip company. The intention behind this was too obvious.
This was not the first time this kind of thing had happened overseas. It looked like you didn't have it. They would seal off the technology and could only spend a large sum of money to buy the finished product. And when you're about to develop it, I won't seal it off anymore. I'll give you the slightly more advanced exit.
This way, it will block the path of your self-developed research.
Your self-developed level is only 20 nanometers, so I'll give you the 7 nanometers exit. At the same time, you will need to spend a large amount of research funding. From 20 nanometers to 7 nanometers, it will also require a huge investment. This way, the buyers in Han Country will shout that the imported products are very useful. Then, they would block the road of domestic research and development once again.
This kind of thing, the foreigners did it with ease. In short, it's to block your path of self-research. You already have 7 nanometers. Throw away the 20 nanometers, and when the technology overseas advances... When it reaches 1 nanometers, or even 0.1 nanometers... Han Country fell behind again.
Qin Guan did not want to use foreign tools. He wandered around in the country's lathe cemetery. In any case, when he entered the system, the time outside did not pass.
Finally, he found a prototype in an empty corner.
Light carving # 1, 1 micrometer manufacturing process, a Lithography Machine product prototype developed by Han Country Microelectronics Ltd in 2006. Due to its inferior performance, after it was developed, it only existed as a prototype and started to develop more advanced Lithography Machine. In the end, it reached the level of 90 nanometers.
At this moment, this Lithography Machine was quietly in a corner of the cemetery, witnessing the development of the microelectronics technology in Han Country.
Qin Guan did not exchange immediately, but left the cemetery.
At this moment, the expression on Elder Wang's face was still very ugly. Are you here to make fun of me?
Seeing Elder Wang's unhappiness, Elder Zhu wanted to dissuade him from doing so. Qin Guan definitely didn't mean it that way. Besides, I don't understand what you guys are talking about.
"I can improve our production equipment of ten micrometers to a production equipment of one micrometer." Qin Guan said, "By using this new technology, our 4K memory can double the performance."
"Humph, I don't have time to talk to you. It's a waste of time." Elder Wang looked at Qin Guan in disbelief.
From ten micrometers to one micrometer, it was a matter of one to zero. However, even in the Y Country, it had taken more than ten years! From the time of 71 to the middle of the 1980s, it had only started with 1 micrometer.
Qin Guan, where did he come from? I've never seen him before.
The more unique the industry, the narrower the circle. For example, he knew Elder Wang, a genius who had developed the A.I. Chip all over the world, but he had never heard of someone like Qin Guan.
