I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 795 They have such a magical power that makes people blindly trust

The establishment goal of "Qingbei Integrated Circuit and Chip Joint R&D Innovation Center" is to devote itself to solving the problem that chip core technology has been controlled by others for a long time. For this reason, more than a dozen famous professors and researchers from two top universities, Qingmu University and Beiyan University, have been gathered. Together with more than [-] outstanding graduate students and doctoral students, a group of key technical elites and experienced engineers including Huapetal Company and Xia Guoxin Company were hired to form four project teams.

Of course, it is impossible to overcome all the problems in chip R&D technology by relying on this joint R&D innovation center alone, so the research focuses of the four research groups are all focused on each.

The first is the "chip design software" research group (referred to as the EDA research group), which is in charge of the current director Xu Qingyan, focusing on the design and development of domestic EDA.Under the guidance of "Mr. Q", this research group has completed the development of the first purely domestic EAD software "Qiguang", with fruitful results, and is currently continuing to be responsible for the optimization and operation and maintenance of "Qiguang".

The second is the "Changing the Process and Materials of Chip Manufacturing" research group (referred to as the chip material research group), which is also in charge of the current director Xu Qingyan, mainly researching carbon nanotube field effect transistor technology and chip material technology.

The third is the "Chip Architecture and Precision Optics" research group, which is in charge of the current deputy director Bai Yanrong, mainly to study and solve the difficulties in lithography technology.

The fourth is the "Microelectronics Processing" research group, which is led by the current deputy director An Maofeng. It is mainly responsible for the microelectronics technology and precision mechanical technology of the chip, and the research of chip packaging and testing technology.

Qin Ke didn't know much about the situation of the third and fourth research groups, but he knew a lot about the first and second research groups.

I won’t mention the EDA research team. This is the team where he and Ning Qingjun turned into “Mr. Q” and worked side by side for more than half a year to develop the Qiguang EDA team. They both have some “friendship” with the chief engineer Luo Jian .

Because of Xu Qingyan, the chip material research group has a good understanding, especially Qin Ke once thought of this after holding the S-level knowledge "A New Type of Carbon Crystal Composite Nanomaterial Production Process Suitable for 1nm Chips". The chip material research group has researched it, and even asked Xu Qingyan a lot of information. He has also heard a lot about why the chief engineer of the research group was promoted to work.

Chief Engineer He Yisheng is 69 years old this year. He graduated from Qingmu University with a major in semiconductors. Later, he was sent abroad to study abroad for two years. He studied semiconductor material processing technology. After returning to China, he has been engaged in the research of semiconductor materials. He is mainly responsible for silicon-based transistors and carbon-based transistors. He has worked in Xia Ke Institute and Kiyoki University successively, and has been employed as a technical consultant for silicon-based materials for domestic chip manufacturers for a long time. Domestic chip manufacturers can better master 14nm chip technology, which is his contribution.

Before retiring, He Yisheng was already a second-level researcher at Qingmu University, which is equivalent to the title of second-level full professor, which is the highest level after academicians.

Originally, professors and researchers all retired at the age of 60, but because He Yisheng's work was too important, the school kept asking him to postpone his retirement. It was not until the age of 65 that He Yisheng's health was too much to bear, so he went through the retirement procedures and recuperated.

One year later, the "Qingbei Integrated Circuit and Chip Joint R&D and Innovation Center" was established. President Huang of Qingmu University personally invited him to his home. He Yisheng couldn't let go of his technical enthusiasm for domestic chips, and after a year of recuperation. It was much better, so he gladly accepted the re-employment as the chief engineer of the chip material research group, that is, the actual technical leader of the team. Since then, he has been immersed in front-line research for more than four years, until he collapsed in the research position again...

Qin Ke has always respected and even admired such veteran scientific researchers who devoted their whole lives to the chip material business of the motherland and worked hard to solve the difficulties of chip technology. Hearing that He Gong was still in the hospital for treatment, When I don't know if I can wake up, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

He can fully understand the mood of the dozens of researchers in the chip materials research group at the moment, unwillingness, sadness, self-blame, anger, despair... Especially when such a selfless and great scientific researcher has fallen down, They may even sacrifice their lives, but the technological difficulties in front of them are still insurmountable. They can only charge against powerful enemies time and time again like Don Quixote...

It is precisely because of such an atmosphere of grief and indignation that Xu Qingyan, the director and general person in charge of the chip material project, was unable to force the team to stop and rest.

Because once the enthusiasm is relaxed, the team is afraid that it will be disbanded and ruined.

But it won't work if you stretch for a long time. If you can't see the dawn of success, the team will collapse sooner or later.

Qin Ke had seen a similar situation in Chen Licheng's team back then. He was stuck on a difficult problem for a long time without making progress, and all the methods he tried failed, which made people frustrated and desperate, and his temper would become irritable.

This is the dilemma that the chip materials team is currently facing.

"Senior Brother Xu..." Qin Ke took a deep breath and was about to continue talking when a system notification sounded in his ear:

"Ding! You have a new mission to learn God!"

"Ding dong! Xueshen mission update 'It's time to sound the horn to end silicon-based chips'!"

"⑤It's time to sound the clarion call to end silicon-based chips: your chip technology and material technology have reached LV2, and the research and development of EDA has also given you a deeper understanding of chip architecture. Now is the time to launch an attack on new chip materials. , The era of silicon-based chips is over! The host is invited to participate in a chip material research project, and according to the S-level knowledge "A new carbon crystal composite nanomaterial production process suitable for 1nm chips", a new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips has been developed. Type carbon crystal composite nanomaterials, and open a new era of access to quantum chips!"

"Mission Reward: Technology Points (Chip Technology) +300! Technology Points (Material Technology) +300! Academic Points (Informatics) +1000! An additional black technology gift bag!"

The new tasks of chip technology and material technology are triggered!

Qin Ke's spirit was refreshed, as expected, only by encountering corresponding events as an opportunity, could the relevant special technological tasks be triggered!

"Huh? What did you say?" Seeing that Qin Ke suddenly stopped his voice, Xu Qingyan on the other end of the phone asked Qin Ke again because he thought he was too emotional to hear Qin Ke's words clearly.

"Senior Brother Xu, Qingyun and I will continue to participate in this incident with other identities. Please send me all the research results of the current chip material research group through the previously agreed method."

The other identity naturally refers to "Mr. Q", and the agreed method refers to encrypting the data with the encryption software provided by Qin Ke before, and then encrypting and transmitting it to the account of "Mr. Q" through a dedicated chat software.

However, what is currently being done is just an ordinary phone call. In order to avoid leaking Mr. Q's identity, Qin Ke did not say so clearly.

Xu Qingyan understood right away, he nodded and said: "No problem. I'm just afraid of delaying your time."

Qin Ke smiled and said, "It's nothing, Qingyun and I are progressing according to the schedule of our research work."

Each laboratory has a very high-level and responsible supervisor. The workload of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun has indeed been greatly reduced. They are just "sharp knives" as the general guide and research. Most of the heavy experimental work, They don't need to do it in person, so they have so much time to arrange research topics and recommended book lists for graduate students one by one.

"And let me tell you my brother, our quantum computing laboratory has been conducting research on chip materials for more than half a year. Although it is more inclined to research on superconducting insulator materials for topological quantum computing, I think graphene materials are representative. New carbon-based route materials should be the optimal solution in the traditional chip era. With this idea, combined with your current research materials for mathematical modeling analysis, I am sure to judge the correct direction in a relatively short period of time. "

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the optimal solution in the era of traditional chips. According to the "Full Process of Making a New Type of Carbon Crystal Composite Nanomaterial Suitable for 1nm Chips", the performance and power consumption of "carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" are comparable to It is said that the performance of the 14nm chip produced by it should be more than 7 times that of the world's mainstream high-end 50nm silicon-based chips (using the traditional and most mainstream "FinFET" technology), but the power consumption is less than 10% of the latter. .

As long as this "carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" can be researched, even if there is no 7nm chip lithography technology and mature production technology, the performance and power consumption of the chip produced by using the 14nm chip technology that is currently well mastered in China , can be enough to beat all the top commercial 5nm chips in the world today and even 2nm chips that are still in the laboratory and use GAA surround gate transistor technology!

Even if it is a rumored 1nm chip that uses vertical transfer field effect transistor (VTFET) chip design technology and no one has seen its real appearance, there is still a great probability of winning!
The counterattack road of domestic chips can completely achieve overtaking in curves and climb to the top of the world!

Moreover, the "carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" resembles the perfect three-dimensional structure of crystals, and can be further developed as a basic entry-level quantum chip to achieve quantum computing with 64 qubits.

If this kind of chip can be used as the basis, combined with the "lime topological superconducting vortex state theoretical model system" to continuously optimize and improve, it is more hopeful to produce a quantum chip that realizes million-level quantum computing!
It can be said that once the "carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" with a perfect three-dimensional structure comes out and is applied on chips, it will have an incomparable and huge impact on the entire chip market, and will also greatly promote the development of the IT industry in the entire world. Promote the end of the era of traditional chip materials and open the door to a new era of quantum chips!

It is precisely because he understands how exaggerated the meaning of "carbon crystal composite nanomaterials" is that Qin Ke is unwilling to research it in his original identity, but wants to incarnate as "Mr. Q" to prevent himself from going abroad to win awards in the future. Safety.

……

Since it took Xu Qingyan a day or two to sort out the data and send it encrypted, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun quickly adjusted their emotions to avoid letting He Gong's affairs affect their moods, making them irritable and lost calm.

The two were sitting in the office, discussing "new ideas for chip materials" together - mainly Qin Ke, with the help of "thinking resonance", integrated the whole process of "a new type of carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips". The key technical ideas were taught to Ning Qingyun, so that she could help her to speed up the design and development of "carbon crystal composite nanomaterials".

However, even if Qin Ke's informatics level has reached the "master level", chip technology and material technology have reached LV2 and absorbed relevant knowledge, and he has also achieved profound attainments in the theory of topological quantum computing, but this The "Full Process of Manufacturing a New Type of Carbon Crystal Composite Nanomaterial Suitable for 1nm Chips" is still not 100% fully understood. Many technical details must be obtained through experiments to deepen understanding with the help of mathematical modeling.

What's more, whether the current experimental equipment of the "Qingbei Integrated Circuit and Chip Joint R&D Innovation Center" can fully meet the research requirements is still a big question mark, and it is very likely that it will come to a major chip factory or other national key research institutes. Borrowed experimental equipment.

Qin Ke optimistically estimates that the research on this "carbon crystal composite nanomaterial" will be relatively smooth in the middle of next year, and it is not impossible for any accident to be delayed until the next year.

Fortunately, both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are used to fighting protracted battles. Currently, they are devoting more energy to the "Seawater Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution" and "Lime Superconducting No. [-] Material". It will take two or three years to succeed. , the relatively fast "National Extreme Weather Cause Analysis and Future Deduction" project will not achieve certain results until the end of the year. If you want to really find the final answer, it may take longer.

Even the general solution of the "Yang-Mills Equation" has been found, and if we want to further solve the "quality gap hypothesis" problem, we need to spend more time and energy, and slowly try and attack repeatedly with the tenacity of dripping stones.

The road to scientific research is so difficult. Even if you have the right direction, if you want to reach the end of success, you still need to go step by step. With sweat and wisdom, you will turn every ordinary and ordinary into "extraordinary" and "extraordinary". extraordinary".

What Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are doing now is to add an additional item of "chip material research and development" to their monthly schedule.

Qin Ke stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Honey, let's go, go to our original self-study room, the current 'Lime Graduate Self-study Classroom', and see if those guys are studying hard. We can get "Whip" them more, let them "leave the teacher" as soon as possible, become our right-hand man, and reduce our research pressure, otherwise our family's time watching TV every night will be squeezed out."

……

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun went to "toss" their graduate students, and on the other side, Xu Qingyan's spirit lifted a little.

His mood at this time was a bit like taking a child to the hospital. He was still waiting in line for the doctor, but when he arrived at the hospital, he felt a magical sense of relaxation, as if he had something to rely on in his heart.

It’s funny to say that he is a professor who is over forty years old and has been engaged in teaching and research for almost 20 years, but because of the words “I have an idea” from two young juniors and juniors, he relaxes his tense emotions.

Xu Qingyan washed his face with clean water, then strode towards the office of the chip materials research group.

He believes that as long as he hears that "Mr. Q" has been applied for help from the superior, as the new general technical director, the anxiety in the team will be quickly relieved.

"Mr. Q"—that is, the two children—has such a magical power that people can blindly trust.
