Is it normal for a top student with an EQ of 20 to create a chip?

Does Chapter 48 mean that the people in AS Company are too stupid? (Seeking for further reading)

"I designed it myself."

Luo Yao's eyes and Yang Ming's eyes began to look at each other.

There was no emotion in Luo Yao's eyes. Yang Ming couldn't see through Luo Yao's thoughts, but his intuition told him that if Luo Yao really did this, it would be included in the anthology of Arabian Nights stories.

Yang Ming asked tentatively: "Little comrade, you can't joke about this. The technology of the EUV lithography machine light source system is not even mastered by Scaron. Are you sure you designed it yourself?"

Luo Yao had long known that the other party had this question, so he quickly explained the principle: "There are generally two types of lithography machines, one is DUV, and the other is EUV. The wavelength of the light source used by DUV is 193 nanometers. EUV uses a light source with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers."

"According to the Rayleigh criterion R=D/1.22, it can be concluded that the size that the optical system can resolve is proportional to the wavelength."

"So if you want to make smaller-sized chips, you need shorter wavelength light, which is the EUV light source."

"Actually, we all know that the EUV light source still uses 193-nanometer light, but if you use it to hit liquid metal tin twice in a row, you can get 13.5-nanometer light."

"It's very simple up to this point, but the most difficult part is the parts in its optical system, which are the lenses."

Yang Ming nodded while listening.

The cost of the lens accounts for about 40% of the entire photolithography machine, and the cost is quite high.

The lens of a photolithography machine is just like a camera lens, consisting of lenses of different shapes.

If you want to better understand the lithography machine, you can also say that it is a large camera.

The difference is that ordinary cameras are used to take pictures of girls, while photolithography machines are used to copy integrated circuit patterns onto wafers through the principle of exposure and development.

Therefore, the lens is just like the camera lens, the main thing is that it is expensive.

Even the magic lens that shoots the moon has to be called the lens of the photolithography machine.

There are now more than 20 lenses on the lithography machine. Currently, there are only three foreign factories that can produce them, and China is still developing them.

"This lens stumped us at the beginning. The light transmittance and smoothness of the lenses produced by our company could not be as good as those of foreign countries, and the effect of the light source reflected on them was useless," Yang Ming said. This thing makes me sad.

"We really lost a lot by not engaging in semiconductors in the 70s." Yang Ming lamented.

Luo Yao looked at Yang Ming's face full of regret, thought for a while, and decided to show off: "The technical difficulties of the lens are actually all in this hard drive."

With that said, Luo Yao took out his red hard drive and placed it on the conference table.

The other four people in the conference room looked at the red hard drive on the table and remained silent.

The top lens technology is all inside the red hard drive?
How can this be?

Just when everyone was hesitating, Rao Huiling couldn't sit still, and she reached out and took the hard drive.

"Let's take a look first and then talk."

Rao Huiling took the computer and connected it to the hard drive and started to read it. After a while, she looked at the screen in disbelief and said: "The optical crystal of the lens is extremely special. Only the performance of the finished crystal of high-purity rare earth halide can meet the requirements."

"Luo Yao, how did you come up with this?"

"calculate."

"I have calculated the crystal impact results of each rare earth, and finally locked in high-purity rare earth halides."

Yang Ming was a little excited when he heard this and said: "It is indeed a high-purity rare earth halide. We have calculated this before."

"Look, this document includes not only lens technology but also photoresist technology, workbench system, projection objective system, mask stage system, automatic calibration system...all the engineering documents of the lithography machine are basically in it. "

Hearing what Rao Huiling said, Yang Ming took the computer with a serious look and started looking at it with the people next to him.

The entire document not only contains technology and principles, but also includes the dimensions of each part!

Even the specifications and materials of a screw are clearly written.

To put it bluntly, what was presented to them was a fool's guide to manufacturing a photolithography machine. It could be said to teach people step-by-step how to manufacture a photolithography machine.

But is the technology right?
After Fu Daobin quietly exchanged opinions with the experts he brought, he asked Luo Yao: "Luo Yao, are you sure this document does not come from abroad?"

"No, I'm a 16-year-old person. Where can I get such detailed information?" Luo Yao felt that Fu Daobin's question was strange.

"If I can obtain a complete set of photolithography machine technology from AS Company, does that mean that the people at AS Company are too stupid?" Luo Yao commented unceremoniously.

Luo Yao's words reminded Fu Daobin.

The other party is just a 16-year-old kid from a small town. Where did he get it from?Moreover, people were recently sent to follow him. Apart from contact with the company and his family, he had no interaction with anyone else at all.

How could AS Company leak such complete technology after so many years of strict defense?
Now it seems that the only explanation is that Luo Yao really designed all this himself.

Huaji Company reported to Fu Daobin that Luo Yao's IQ was above 230, which relieved Fu Daobin's doubts about Luo Yao's ability to produce photolithography machine technology.But here comes the problem.

Do you want to conduct model verification according to the engineering design drawings provided by Luo Yao?
"Professor Yang, and Professor Shi, what do you think?"

Shi Lin had been silent just now. Now when Fu Daobin mentioned him, he said: "I just took a rough look at it. Some of the principles in it are consistent with the results of our previous research."

"I want to ask Luo Yao, why did you say you wanted to dismantle the phone before?"

Shi Lin knew that according to Luo Yao's level, he would never have the same idea of ​​dismantling the phone as Husky, so Shi Lin felt that the reason for dismantling the phone was probably the key information.

"Because I haven't proven whether my idea is correct. Although these documents are very detailed, without the materials and the help of a professional team, I cannot build a model for verification."

After the first Pangu EDA, Luo Yao actually knew that the technology provided by the system would never be mixed with water, but others did not know this.

Therefore, Luo Yao decided to make progress by retreating and offered to conduct verification.

Sure enough, Luo Yao said this,
Fu Daobin took the opportunity to agree: "Well, it won't help if we just talk here. Let's speed up and form a team of experts to do theoretical demonstrations and build models!"

"Okay, that's what we mean. This design plan still needs to be demonstrated." Shi Lin agreed.

"Luo Yao developed Pangu EDA last time. This time it might really be able to help us find the correct way to build a lithography machine."

Fu Daobin is extremely excited now. If Luo Yao can provide the technology they have been pursuing for a long time like last time, then the current dilemma may be solved!
"Pangu EDA was also developed by Luo Yao?" Yang Ming, the only uninformed person in the conference room, thought he had heard it wrong when he first heard this.

It wasn't until Fu Daobin confirmed that he realized how valuable the engineering design documents Luo Yao provided at this moment were.

"Director Fu, can I participate in the verification process?" Yang Ming had already ignited a small flame of hope in his heart.

He has repeatedly imagined that one day he could lead his team to find out the key to manufacturing lithography machines, but he has achieved little.

Now, there is an opportunity for him to witness the birth of photolithography technology in China, and of course he wants to participate.

"Professor Yang, of course you have to participate. The verification speed must be fast, otherwise we will not know what kind of actions the other side will take next."

"Don't worry, Director Fu, we guarantee that we will complete the task! We will work all night long!"

Yang Ming is now in his 40s and is no longer young, but he knows that China urgently needs an independent lithography machine to get out of trouble!

Under this situation, Yang Ming felt like he was back to the time ten years ago when his whole body was full of energy.

Fu Daobin made several calls to arrange for experts to rush to the lithography machine research institute, which was still in its infancy, overnight.

When the experts received the call, they were all confused and anxious, wondering if they had encountered some kind of problem?

The problem of the lithography machine cannot be solved casually. Now, I don’t know when it will be solved.

As a result, when they arrived at the research institute, they discovered that the leader had given them a drawing of the entire manufacturing process of the photolithography machine.

The experts were horrified and wanted to know the origin of the drawings, but their leader only said two words "confidential".

"Anyway, our people came up with it. You need to follow up on the verification. The leaders above attach great importance to this matter. Time is tight. We need to complete the model verification within two months.

two months? !

Things are really rushing.

But no one at the institute had any objections. Instead, they all became excited.

Because they know that if they are too late, they will be treated unfairly.

A little later, they will be the fish on the display board.

If you are too late, you will suffer more and more humiliation!
At this moment, they have to take action to wash away the humiliation!
the other side.

The fact that Luo Yao took out the engineering design drawings of the lithography machine has reached the ears of the Huaji President Office.

After the people from the CEO's office repeatedly asked Rao Huiling for details, they all fell silent for a while.

The seven of them usually consider themselves to be much more insightful than ordinary people, but at this moment they cannot see through Luo Yao.

"Mr. Zheng, do you think the lithography machine that Luo Yao brought out is real or fake? Where did it come from?" Lu Gao frowned. He always felt that it was incredible that Luo Yao found the technology of the lithography machine alone.

Zheng Housheng thought for a while and then said: "You can't look at this problem from the eyes of ordinary people."

"Luo Yao has a super high IQ. Based on this alone, his achievements in research and development will definitely be higher than others."

"Coupled with Luo Yao's personal hard work, you can see that he never rested after he came back. He went to the library every day and read books related to lithography machines. This shows that Luo Yao was able to draw those engineering drawings. It’s definitely not something that’s going to be over overnight.”

"Moreover, he gave us fake technology for what purpose? To hinder our research and development progress?"
