Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 10 There is no God in the Dragon Kingdom
"Have you heard? Our factory recently received an extremely difficult trial production order, and the tape-out process failed three times!"

"Real or fake? Is there something wrong with the circuit design?"

"It must be true. I also heard that even experts from the United States are here. The order is likely to be for 7-nanometer chips."

Dragon Kingdom Treasure Island, TSMC.

The engineers chatted and shared the gossip they had collected.

Chip mask manufacturing failure is very common in foundries. It is usually caused by problems with the circuits designed by the chip design company, but this time it is a little different.

According to insiders, TSMC has recalled all chip experts and even invited professors in the semiconductor field from the United States to hold seminars for three consecutive days.

What is this concept?
Let's put it this way, chip foundries are divided into two categories.

One is TSMC.

One category is others.

TSMC alone occupies 67% of the global chip order market. Even such a giant needs foreign aid, which shows how difficult it is to manufacture chips this time.

In the seminar room.

Charles, an American chip expert, looked at the design circuit diagram and kept repeating "I bought it". He was shocked.

The circuit design, module design, and functional division made him feel like he was enlightening, and he gained new insights every time he watched it.

It's like a work of art, beautiful and hard to take your eyes off, poetic and intoxicating.

Next to Charles, there is a group of 60-year-olds in their [-]s and [-]s. They also have a lot of insights, but they can't help but wonder, when did the mainland have a chip design genius team?

To know.

The chip circle is very small.

Whoever is awesome in architecture design, who is great in circuit design, and whoever focuses on integration and layout all have professional teams.

As for this small baseband chip, they racked their brains and couldn't figure out which top team was responsible for it.

Not to mention which team it came from, they had never heard of Chen Xing and Longxing Technology who brought the design drawings.

While the expert group was studying, TSMC's docking manager came in and asked: "Professor Charles, professors, have you found the reason for the tapeout failure? The customer is urging us and is only willing to give us another chance."

When the calm atmosphere was broken, Charles came back to his senses and said: "Oh my god, who designed this? The DSP processor uses a multi-core design. This is a brand new architecture. You need time to refine the technology before you can use it." It’s reproduced perfectly!”

The voice fell.

Other professors reacted one after another.

When they carefully observed the circuit diagram of the DSP processor, they finally understood why the tape-out went wrong.

The factory had only built a single-core DSP processor for Gaotong Company, and by default thought it was a single-core design. Unexpectedly, this was actually a revolutionary innovation.

"Where is that gentleman? I need to have a good talk with him. It would be a pity for such a team to develop in Dragon Kingdom!"

Charles doesn't mince words.

Although this sentence is somewhat offensive, for the chip field, foreign development will indeed be more effective.

"He's in the VIP room."

"What's his name?"

"Chen Xing."

"Morning Star, Chen Xing, Chen Xing..."

After practicing pronunciation several times, Charles left the research room on his own. Now that he had discovered the problem, he needed time to accumulate skills to solve it.

……

TSMC VIP Room.

Two reception secretaries wearing OL uniforms and black stockings covering their hips sat next to Chen Xing and kept persuading them in coquettish tones:

"Mr. Chen, just wait. Our factory has invited experts to look at your chip design layout. Except for us at TSMC, few foundries are so responsible."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, we will be responsible for you. If you feel bored, my little sister can take you to the treasure island."

"If you want to play something exciting, such as a haunted house, a yacht, or a roller coaster, you can do it. We will try our best to satisfy you."

The two secretaries were smiling. I don't know what kind of perfume they sprayed on them, but there was a faint scent of roses.This is not a chip foundry, this is simply a Pansi Cave!
Fortunately, Chen Xing has received professional training. The company is currently in danger, and women are not attractive at all. He still said with a straight face:

"I just want to get the finished chips as soon as possible. Please tell Mr. Zhang that if your company cannot complete the trial production of chips, please pay liquidated damages according to the previous contract plan."

These words were sonorous and powerful, and every word expressed his attitude, mocking the incompetence of women.

In the monitoring room, Mr. Zhang also initially realized that Chen Xing was by no means a playboy, but a real entrepreneur.

"interesting."

Mr. Zhang held a cigar in his mouth and smiled.

After so many years of running TSMC, this is the first time I have seen someone resist the attack of beautiful women and show no mercy to him.

But in fact, Chen Xing also wanted to show mercy, but time did not allow it!

When he came to Baodao this time, in addition to looking for TSMC to produce chips, he also went to the MediaTek headquarters and placed an order for 6592 MT[-] processor chips. He also purchased a batch of world-leading high-definition lenses for the purpose of preparing new products for the summer vacation. Flagship launched.

June 6th and 7th every year are the national legal college entrance examination dates. After that, tens of millions of prospective college students will be born, as well as young people waiting for employment in the society.

Similarly, June to September every year is the most popular time for electronic products.

Because whether you are going to college or going out into society, a mobile phone is an indispensable device. No matter how bad it is, you must buy one to contact your family.

Chen Xing didn’t want to miss the summer vacation, so when choosing a chip foundry, he did not consider Huaxin International in the mainland, but went directly to TSMC for foundry.

But he never expected that TSMC failed to tape out. Although they took the initiative to take responsibility, Chen Xing also wasted a lot of time. He didn't know how long it would take to see the finished product, and he was extremely anxious.

"You Hao, Mr. Chen Xing."

While Chen Xing was waiting quietly for an answer, Charles walked into the VIP room and greeted him in broken Chinese.

Chen Xing saw that he was a yellow-haired foreigner, and he vaguely guessed his identity. He might be the recently rumored foreign aid chip expert from the United States.

"Can speak English."

Chen Xing replied in fluent American English, but the broken Chinese sounded too uncomfortable.

Charles immediately returned to English and said directly: "Mr. Chen Xing, was the design layout of that chip completed by your team?"

"Not bad, are there any flaws in the design?"

"No, no, no, there are no flaws. It is designed so perfectly. I can guarantee God that this is the most perfect chip architecture I have ever seen. It uses multi-core..."

After a lot of compliments, Charles suddenly changed the subject and said:

"I would like to invite you and your team to join our laboratory and return to the United States to study 7-nanometer process chips. Talents like you should not study 28-nanometer process chips in the Dragon Kingdom. You are a gift from God to the world. We can Get everything you want, including a green card."

Chen Xing frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

He has been waiting here for almost half a month for the finished chip. If you, the foreign aid, don’t go to help, then why are you here to poach people?

What kind of green card is there, what kind of gift from God to the world.

Pooh!
Where can there be a God in the Dragon Kingdom? There is one like the Jade Emperor!
Four words.

QNM’s! ! !
Chen Xing suppressed his anger, looked at the camera in the break room and said: "If your company has limited technology, you can pay me liquidated damages according to the contract without wasting our time."

"Mr. Chen Xing, I think you have misunderstood. I just want to give your team a better scientific research environment. Long Guo simply..."

Charles was a little anxious. Before he finished speaking, another figure walked into the VIP room and interrupted him:

"The technical problem has been overcome, and the factory is arranging expedited processing. It is expected that the finished baseband chip will be available within one month. I am deeply sorry for the trouble caused to you."

Mr. Zhang personally took action.

This also shows that Charles’s thoughts only represent his own.

Seeing Mr. Zhang's attitude, Chen Xing softened his tone and said, "Then I will wait another month. I hope we can cooperate happily and achieve a win-win situation."

"Thank you for your blessings."
