Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Chapter 36 Pandora's Box

When it comes to the issue of electricity bills, we have to mention the rental house in Kangchi.

As a standard city within a city, the electricity bill is naturally not cheap, but the biggest problem is that it is too small and unsafe.

Kang Chi has read a lot of books and papers during this time, but has no practical experience. A few days ago, he was dreaming about when he would have his own large laboratory.

Well, the requirements are not too high.
Just like Iron Man Tony's villa, which is not only his home, but also his laboratory.
It just feels very convenient.

But Kang Chi also wants to get it right in one step, so that it won't be so troublesome to move around when the time comes, so for now, these are a bit unrealistic.

Withdrawing his illusions, Kang Chi officially entered into seclusion for practice.

After a few more days of reading, his experience with the learning machine was almost full. He urgently needed the assistance of the learning machine to master more knowledge about chip manufacturing.

Although after the graphics card is upgraded, relevant knowledge can be obtained directly through analysis, but the knowledge instilled in this way is actually somewhat known to Kangchi, but he does not know why.

Just like the lens production line, although he can make it according to the gourd's pattern, in fact, he still hasn't fully understood the technology and principles inside. If others ask, he can't explain it clearly.

At this time, the necessary theoretical knowledge is crucial.

As long as he can master enough theoretical knowledge in advance, once he gets the infused information, he can quickly understand the technical principles inside and truly master it.

After a week of retreat, I finally got enough experience on the learning machine!

Moreover, in the process of learning, the proficiency points also increased a lot, which is an additional gain.

upgrade!

A flash of light flashed, and the shape of the learning machine changed again.

The main body is still an e-book, but the size is larger and there is an additional type of earphone.

Kang Chi tried to put this thing on his ears and found that it not only fit the ears very well, but also had strong sound insulation.
Once he put on these headphones, all the interference outside disappeared, and the whole world became dead silent. Kang Chi was so scared that he almost thought he was deaf.

After a period of adaptation, Kangchi found that with this function, his mood was indeed very stable when studying, and his concentration was enhanced as never before.

Moreover, Kang Chi also remembered the content he learned using this learning machine very clearly. As long as he didn't read it in detail, he could basically read it at a glance.

Just highlight one word:

Awesome!
At the same time, Kang Chi also realized that this thing was simply a Pandora's box, and its power was definitely no less powerful than a nuclear bomb.

Once it leaks out accidentally, the whole world will be turned upside down.
Just imagine, if everyone can learn so efficiently, it will not only revolutionize education in China, but also other countries will not be able to avoid it.

This is still the best situation,

The worst case scenario is that this technology will be monopolized by a few people, which will further widen the gap between ordinary people and the elite, eventually leading to more extreme polarization.

As for the worse case scenario…

That's the world war,
China definitely wants to keep this technology, and other countries will not sit still and wait. You can imagine what the result will be.

Therefore, Kangchi must not let anyone discover its secrets without adequate preparation.

With the assistance of this learning machine, Kang Chi was like a sponge, frantically absorbing all the semiconductor-related information he could find.

On the 20th day when he continued to study in seclusion, the graphics card of the computer, which had been burned under high intensity, finally gained full experience!

Kangchi immediately upgraded it,
After a familiar light flashed, a brick-sized graphics card appeared. After the upgrade, it already had two cooling fans, making it look much more domineering. [Item: Silicon Image Processor]

14nm! ?
This manufacturing process,
It's more advanced than Kangchi expected.

At this point, upgrading is a bit exaggerated. Kangchi feels that it should stay at this level for the time being, and first analyze its technology and achieve mass production.

Of course, Kang Chi, who has studied semiconductor knowledge for several months, also knows that manufacturing chips is not as simple as making lenses. The industrial chain involved is much larger than lenses.

From wafer, design, photolithography, etching, to final packaging,

Every step has a lot of technical difficulties.
It is no longer possible to make a lens by just rolling out a production line.

Even if there are no technical restrictions, it will conservatively estimate that it will take more than a year to achieve mass production of graphics cards.

Although he was fully mentally prepared, when Kang Chi clicked on the analysis item, he was still shocked by the system panel.

On the system panel, densely packed options were connected in series, looking like branches with no leaves.

Analysis of the industrial silicon smelting process requires 5 mastery points.

Analysis of the polysilicon purification process requires 5 mastery points.

Analysis of the photovoltaic grade monocrystalline silicon purification process requires 5 mastery points.

Analysis of the semiconductor grade single crystal silicon purification process requires 10 mastery points.

……

Process analysis of the glue coating, baking and developing orbital all-in-one machine requires 20 mastery points.

14nm lithography machine process analysis requires 30 proficiency points.

……

Looking at the nearly a hundred analytical items covering the entire semiconductor industry process, Kang Chi felt his scalp numb, as if he was being pressed down by a mountain of five fingers.

It can only be said that semiconductor chips are worthy of representing the highest wisdom of mankind in manipulating and observing matter!
No wonder he got stuck in the neck.

Even the systematic Kang Chi felt suffocated in front of this mountain, let alone the large number of Chinese scientific researchers who were about to catch up with him as soon as his eyes darkened.

For laymen, when talking about chip stuck neck, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the photolithography machine.
But in fact, the photolithography machine is only one relatively important link among hundreds of steps. Others, such as photoresist, thin film deposition, ion implanter, and even silicon wafer manufacturing, etc., are all stuck.

Kangchi's idea is to start from the upstream of the industry and gradually solve all the stuck links.

Ok,
In fact, even if he wants to analyze the photolithography machine process, he doesn't have so many proficiency points for the time being.

According to his experience, the most mastery points are gained only when these devices are successfully manufactured for the first time.

So Kang Chi started reading from the beginning again, and gradually analyzed which areas were stuck and whether there was any need to analyze it.

The first is industrial silicon smelting. Needless to say, China's industrial silicon production accounts for more than 65% of the world's production, so there is no need to worry about running out of industrial silicon.

The same goes for polycrystalline silicon and photovoltaic-grade monocrystalline silicon. The output is huge. As you can tell from the name, it is the main material for solar modules and panels. It has been laid out in sheets in the northwest region.

Next is the first place where domestic chips get stuck.
