Chapter 104 MEMS Tweezers
Electronic building, conference room.

"When will the 20-micron lithography machine arrive?"

Chen Quan and Zhao Liangcai were discussing the newly purchased batch of equipment, Qu Feng followed his daughter, and Qu Yanqiu walked in.

"You have come at a good time. We have just concluded our discussion and are about to end the meeting."

Zhao Liangcai's voice was very loud.

With the continuous publication of papers, the spirit of the members of the MEMS project team is quite different from before.

"Oh? What's being discussed? Let me know?"

"It's a new project, the one we are going to use to hit the CNS."

"Oh? Sensor project, can you still publish top journals?"

Although Qu Feng doesn't know what the CNS project is, he does know what CNS is. CNS does not refer to CELL, NATURE, SCIENCE.In addition to CELL's focus on life sciences, the latter two are top-level comprehensive science and technology journals.

"Or are you going to release that deep silicon process?"

"The deep silicon etching process, we will stay at the end. Wait until the product is released and then announce it, giving us at least two years of product exclusivity."

Chen Quan replied. "What is going to be released this time is a MEMS tweezers made with semiconductor technology."

This pair of tweezers is also a vague result obtained by Chen Quan from his "memory".

But this time, "his" memory is very strange, there are only a few sketches, but no testing process.In other words, for some reason, "he" didn't finish the experiment.

It stands to reason that this kind of incomplete project is not Chen Quan's priority, but with the gradual understanding of MEMS technology, Chen Quan's knowledge accumulation and experience are sufficient.

"Tweezers? What happened to the tweezers?"

Qu Feng didn't understand. "Why don't you dare to invest in CNS for the sensor project, but the tweezers?"

"Dad, you don't know. The recent fire in MEMS, mainly in actuators."

Qu Yanqiu explained for everyone. "The sensors we make are not the mainstream of MEMS."

"Actuator?"

"Yes, it is to make things move. Micro motors are the typical representative of actuators. The reason why micro motors are popular is that they meet people's expectations of micro robots. Motors are an important part of robots. Tweezers, or grippers Hands, too! They both have almost the same status in micro-robots."

For the tweezers project, the project team also has high hopes.After all, micro-actuators are the authentic MEMS.

The position between micro-sensors and micro-actuators is as obvious as the gap between guerrillas and regular troops.

Of course, Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu had another level of expectation.

The motor project has been a big hit for almost two years. Even if the press pays more attention to it, it is a bit tired of aesthetics.

If tweezers can be realized, there is a great possibility that they will take over the MEMS banner caused by micro-motors, and occupy all the news hotspots and headlines for a period of time.

Using this project to attack the "Perfection" competition should be absolutely sure.

Not to mention for undergraduate students, even graduate students, doctoral students, and even senior scientific researchers, the CNS papers are over.If it is not successful this time, I will only submit to the moon.

"Oh, I see, what is the market expectation for this thing?"

Qu Feng looked at Qian for everything. "The market expectation of the sensor is already very good, will this tweezers be better?"

"I'm afraid not."

Several people in the room peeped at each other, and finally it was Chen Quan who came forward. "This tweezer is only of scientific research value at present. If a micro-robot wants to move, it doesn't have to have hands or feet. If it wants to be effective, it needs too many matching things. At least within 30 to [-] years, there is little hope. "

"That's it"

Qu Feng hesitated.

"What's wrong? Mr. Qu?"

Everyone in the conference room was generally very surprised.

Ever since Chen Quan drew the idea of ​​the tweezers and the preliminary structural drawing, everyone was extremely excited.

This is the first time that the University of Technology may lead a world-class trend in a cutting-edge scientific research field.

Moreover, this frontier field is not an ordinary frontier.

Due to the enthusiasm of foreign media, domestic media also began to follow suit. MEMS news began to go out of the circle, out of sci-tech journals, into popular science magazines, and even be regarded as social news to attract attention.

"Well, I'm not spoiling your interest!"

Qu Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I can't support unprofitable projects. This project can't use the funds of our Songhuajiang Semiconductor."

"dad!"

Qu Yanqiu called out directly.

"This matter cannot be solved by calling Dad. The headquarters will come to audit!"

Qu Feng's expression became serious. "I've just taken office, so I'm going to do this. If the project doesn't work, there's no problem. If it succeeds and becomes famous, there will be big problems!"

"This is an advertisement, do you understand the advertisement?"

Qu Yanqiu continued to argue. "After this project is completed, although you won't get real benefits, your reputation will become bigger. At that time, you can tell in the relevant news that this tweezers is sponsored by Songhuajiang Semiconductor! How nice is that?"

Qu Feng didn't refute, but he didn't want to let go either.

In the meeting room, there was a moment of stalemate.

"This project does not need Songhuajiang Semiconductor's money."

Professor Zhao stopped the girl who still wanted to argue.

"Are you rich?"

Qu Feng and his daughter turned their heads at the same time.

"I just wanted to tell you about this."

Zhao Liangcai took out a few pages from his bag. "These are intentional cooperation agreements. Several companies want to acquire our original test data for a fee."

"what company?"

Qu Feng took the documents and found that they were all in English, and the company name was also very unfamiliar. "They want to get into sensors too?"

"It's not a hardware company, it's a software company. The IC software we use now belongs to them."

"Software company, what do you want these data for?"

"They want to integrate MEMS design functions into a new version of the software. Developers don't need to look up the table every time, or repeat the basic data by themselves."

"Um so."

Qu Feng thought for a long time, but he didn't understand the powerful relationship inside, but intuitively, it didn't seem like a good idea.

"If their software is made and the design of MEMS is convenient, won't our competitors increase?"

"Yes, that's the reason."

"Then I won't agree."

Qu Feng directly threw a few pieces of paper on the table. "All your current data is in principle the property of our Songhuajiang Semiconductor. It cannot be sold!"

"dad!"

Qu Yanqiu was really angry.

"Songhuajiang Semiconductor has not yet been established! My current position is just that of a team leader. All important decisions still need to go through the general factory."

Forced to do nothing, Qu Feng finally told the truth in front of outsiders. "In addition, just to avoid suspicion, this kind of enemy's words must never come out of my mouth."

"Then what should we do? Ask Uncle Chen to come forward?"

"It's not appropriate for him to come forward, let me think about someone who is willing to come forward and has enough weight"

"Don't think about it, it's too troublesome! We don't use the existing data! We can reorganize the team for testing according to customer needs."

Zhao Liangcai waved his hand. "If there is no such thing as today, I am ready to find someone to do it privately."

"Oh? That's good! We don't need to pay for it, and we don't need the old data, so let me do nothing."

Qu Feng immediately relaxed a lot. "From a personal standpoint, I certainly support that you can find more manufacturers to sponsor, continuously improve scientific research conditions, and continue to climb the peak of rock science."

"Dad, you change your face, it's really fast!"

Qu Yanqiu satirized.

"You girl, if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how to lose money. Dad is walking on eggshells."

Qu Feng's superior, had a difficult game within Bingfei.If it wasn't for Qu Feng who got stuck early, there would be no chance at all.

From the initial friendship sponsorship of hundreds of thousands to the project investment of 200 million to the establishment of an entity, the difficulty is gradually increasing.Among other things, the huge purchasing power of nearly 6000 million is worth fighting for.

"I'm trying to figure out every cent of the current project funds."

Qu Feng sighed.

"Okay, okay. It's not easy knowing you."

Qu Yanqiu came over and beat Qu Feng's shoulder flatteringly.
