Vol 2 Chapter 107: The pinnacle of work-Godson!

"Chips? Chips to be released today?" The audience was refreshed by the mention of this topic.

They haven't read the news in these days less. Even a passerby who doesn't understand what a chip is at all, knows that life in China is very difficult because of the lack of high-end chips.

"It's not just a chip, right? At least a lithography machine!"

"Could it be that He Xingzhou has developed a high-end lithography machine this time?"

"Isn't it? To solve this problem, you can only manufacture chips with a 10-nanometer process, but also energy production! Can it be done?"

"Chip, lithography machine?" People all over the world are watching this scene.

Especially the members of EUV Alliance, pay special attention!

The members of the EUV Alliance had a video conference today, which was specially held for the joint trade conference.

Chairman Foster has received clear instructions from the BOSS. In order to put pressure on Shenlong for a meeting this afternoon, they have to come up with a sharper plan!

Originally, everyone was still discussing the plan, and suddenly it came that He Xingzhou wanted to introduce the chip technology, and the members were all paying attention.

Foster said: "Everyone should know that now, the East is holding a press conference, saying that it is to show the chip technology results, the purpose should be the same as ours, but also for the trade conference in the watch country in the afternoon."

"They may have a breakthrough in chips and lithography machines!"

A representative of the chip giant Qualcomm said directly: "Not long ago, China could only produce chips with the 23nm process in the laboratory, and not energy production. This time, at most, it will produce chips outside the 20nm process."

"On high-end chips, it won't have much impact on us!"

"Yes." Asim’s representative Haimer said, "Huaxin Group purchased a deep ultraviolet lithography machine from us at a cost of 120 million U.S. dollars, and wanted to develop chips within the 20-nanometer process. Unfortunately, our production line was burned. It’s a pity that we have not been able to deliver yet."

"So they want to conquer chip technology within 20 nanometers, it depends on our mood."

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed tacitly. Can such an important thing as the lithography machine production line accidentally catch fire? Of course it's a fake! But Huaxin Group has nothing to do!

"Let's take a look, maybe they can surprise us!" Foster said jokingly, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

Before the live broadcast, He Xingzhou was still in conversation with Shen Bingbing.

Shen Bingbing asked: "Then Mr. He Xingzhou, let me make a little guess, are we breaking through the lithography machine technology today?"

He Xingzhou nodded and said: "Yes."

Shen Bingbing also did his homework on the show and has a little understanding of lithography machines.

She was curious: "Then what level of lithography machine technology we have broken through today, is it the latest deep ultraviolet lithography machine? Deep ultraviolet lithography machines can already meet the manufacturing needs of high-end chips! The world is currently Only three countries can make it!"

Her curiosity is also the curiosity of the national audience.

"It must be a deep ultraviolet lithography machine!" On the scene, Xiao Dong, president of Huawei Group, said to Li Kongming, president of Huaxin Group next to him. His tone was still a bit excited. "If there is a deep ultraviolet lithography machine, our high-end products, Production can be resumed!"

Li Kongming is even more looking forward to saying: "It is a deep ultraviolet lithography machine. Our semiconductor industry in China will directly squeeze into the top three in the world! The future is bright!"

"Haha, there is another good show today!" The president of BYD Auto Group laughed. Their electromagnetic float has been discontinued for two months. The electromagnetic float has features such as driverless and intelligent transportation that require high-end chips. Can be executed.

"If it does exist, in the future, our company's computers will be directly equipped with domestic chips!" said the president of Shenzhou Computer.

They were still looking forward to the deep ultraviolet lithography machine. He Xingzhou shocked the audience when he spoke!

I only heard him say slowly: "It's not a deep ultraviolet lithography machine, but an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, which is the most advanced EUV lithography machine in the world!"

"Extreme ultraviolet lithography machine?" Xiao Dong, the president of Huaxin, was still looking forward to the future with Li Kongming, president of Huaxin Group. Hearing He Xingzhou's words, the two suddenly stood up from their seats!

They are all the presidents of giant groups. They manage thousands of employees, handle tens of billions of projects, and have gone through big storms. It stands to reason that they would not be so impulsive.

But the moment they heard He Xingzhou's words, they couldn't help but control their bodies!

"Extreme ultraviolet lithography machine? Really?" Xiao Dong's voice was trembling. If it is true, then their company will rise again and enter the world!

"We have an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine?" Li Kongming even wanted to shout.

However, He Xingzhou's next sentence directly caused the audience to boil!

He said: "The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine we have successfully developed this time is the most advanced lithography machine in the world. It has been able to mass-produce high-end chips with a 3-nanometer process."

"At present, there is only one in the world!"

When he finished speaking, Tian Jun and the others, who were still sitting before, also stood up, their faces full of incredible!

"Sannan Process! What is he talking about?" Heimer, the representative of Asim Corporation who watched the live broadcast on the Internet, cursed directly, "We haven't done it yet, they can't do it! This He Xingzhou, is performing a talk show? ?"

"If he said that there is a deep ultraviolet lithography machine, I might still believe it!" a representative of Intel Corporation said, "but the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is still a three-nanometer process technology, absolutely impossible!"

"They are deceiving God!" the AMD representative said affirmatively, "I'm not afraid of going to hell!"

President Foster was still a little worried. Hearing He Xingzhou's words, he directly asserted: "Three Nanometers is just nonsense! Our EUV alliance has united all the most cutting-edge semiconductor companies in the world!"

"Our technologies are combined, and we have not yet achieved a mature 3-nanometer process extreme ultraviolet lithography machine! Orientals, why?"

The superiority in his tone is not concealed. Foster is a white supremacist. He has always believed that they are the smartest race in the world!

And the audience who saw He Xingzhou's show, some knowledgeable people also talked about it:

"Fuck, it's true? If it's true, our China's semiconductor industry will take off!"

"Hurry up and buy a wave of funds and stocks, today's direct daily limit, believe it or not?"

"I don't understand it well, is this thing very powerful?"

"What is awesome? If it is true, from now on, China's high-end industries, electronics-related industries, and semiconductor-related industries will surpass the world without looking at the faces of foreign countries!"

The news media are also forwarding the news one after another.

The domestic news media are publishing articles, and foreign media immediately began to question it.

A reporter from the "New York News" wrote directly: "Oriental people claim to have developed an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, all by imagination!"

The underworld media BC is also posting an article, saying, "This is just a farce. Within ten years, the East will not be able to master the technology of extreme ultraviolet lithography!"

In the live news room, Shen Bingbing lightly covered his lips and exclaimed: "Can you show this the most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography machine in the world?"

"Of course!" He Xingzhou looked at the camera and said, "I think there are already many people questioning this matter."

"It's useless to say it. The place where we are today is the fab in Magic City, which is the factory that manufactures chips."

"Our extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is called'Loongson'. At this moment, it has been fully installed and can start production!"

"Next, please all the audience friends, witness the moment when Godson was born!"

He Xingzhou stood up, the camera followed him, and went all the way to the exhibition area.

At this time, the staff had already put in the media reporters. In addition to a large number of domestic media, there were also a lot of foreign media.

He Xingzhou explained as he walked: "The area of ​​the lithography machine is required to be absolutely dust-free and absolutely safe, so today we can't get close to the lithography machine, but we can appreciate its'brilliance' through the camera screen!"

On the screen, a huge guy appeared.

Add up to its size, it's the size of twenty trucks. The size of this huge machine is shocking!

What is even more amazing is its details, such a magnificent machine, every detail is exquisite to the extreme!

The smooth alloy shell, interspersed pipes, various small structures, complex structure rooms, carving areas, and so on.

Just watching the introduction video, everyone felt a sense of unawareness and fierceness!

"This is the masterpiece of the pinnacle industry of human civilization, the lithography machine!"

"More than 100,000 parts, and tens of thousands of manufacturers have been assembled to produce a variety of different parts!"

"It can paint at the nanometer scale, injecting soul into modern technology!"

I was also introducing it next to me. In the live broadcast room, it was already boiling!

"666!"

"It's so exquisite! I didn't know what industrial beauty was before, but today I know it!"

"Look at crying! We made this ourselves!"

"Ababa Ababa Ababa!"

"Is this the lithography machine? It looks very powerful, like it!"

At the scene, Xiao Dong, Li Kongming, Tian Jun and others were also enjoying this scene, and there seemed to be a flame burning in their hearts!

At this moment, they want to shout, but it is not yet that time!

Because they want to see the moment when the chip is actually manufactured!

The EUV alliance, the members did not speak at this time. The moment they saw the appearance of the lithography machine, they suddenly felt a little frustrated.

"What if it's true?" Foster and others didn't dare to continue thinking about it, the ending was terrible!

"The lithography machine, they really have a lithography machine!" In Baiying's office, the commander saw this picture and slapped it on the table with his hands.

He cursed: "If they actually make a three-nanometer chip today, those who do intelligence should be shot!"

The lithography machine is not a gun, a nuclear bomb, but it is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb!

Some scientists once said that it is more difficult to develop a lithography machine than to develop a hydrogen bomb! Because there is more than one country with a hydrogen bomb, and there is only one in the world with an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, and it was made by the power of many countries!

This is a super technology that can change the pattern of the entire world!

After the introduction, He Xingzhou will start the trial operation of the lithography machine.

He said: "Chip design, wafer fabrication, these processes may take months or even years."

"Today is a convenient display, we directly use the manufactured wafers for chip engraving!"

"In order to prove our lithography machine technology, we also specially invited foreign reporters and experts and friends. After we manufacture the chips, you can use the equipment here to test it yourself!"

After He Xingzhou finished speaking, the staff began to prepare.

A wafer was put into the lithography machine, and the "Loongson" chip was produced according to its size. This wafer can engrave at least 400 pieces!

He Xingzhou went on to introduce: "To actually manufacture a chip, at least 5,000 processes are required. Today we will show the final engraving process."

"Next, the lithography opportunity will engrave more than seven billion transistors on a small wafer!"

"Everyone will wait and see!"

After speaking, the staff has already begun to operate.

It is of course impossible for the audience to enter the lithography machine to watch, and can only watch through computer simulation and part of the monitor screen.

"Now playing is the process we completed before! The first step, ingot production." On the screen, a pile of sand is oxidized and purified to obtain high-purity silicon.

These high-purity silicon is melted to become a silver-white object "melted silicon", which is then shaped into a cylinder.

"The second step, wafer dicing!" The cylinder was smoothed and cut into thin slices less than 1 micron.

"In the third step, the wafer is milled, and the wafer continues to be thinned and polished."

"The fourth step is to apply photoresist."

"The fifth step is to expose, and use optical elements to project the mask pattern onto the wafer."

Everyone saw that the electronic route pattern of the chip had appeared on the thin wafer!

"The sixth step, develop, dissolve the exposed area!"

"Step 7~www.readwn.com~etching." This is when the lithography machine comes into play. Under the simulation of computer technology, the audience sees that extreme ultraviolet light is constantly etched on the chip, and the speed is slow. Ten thousand times, it is difficult for the human eye to recognize!

"The eighth step is coating; the ninth step is metal filling; the tenth step is polishing." He Xingzhou said here, adding: "The ten steps I just mentioned are just a process, and this process has to be repeated, which is equivalent to Layer by layer."

"If all of us are microscopic creatures, your feeling is like building skyscrapers on flat ground. In the process just now, you just laid the foundation and built the first floor! The next step is to continue to build high-rise buildings and complete seven billion. The etching of the transistor!"

"Soon, our chips will be packaged!"

On the screen, the 3D structure of the chip is displayed simultaneously. Building a "skyscraper" on the nanometer scale, seeing this scene, even the audience who don't understand chips and lithography machines have only one idea in their hearts, "Niu Cha"!

Wait a moment, the first chip has been packaged!

He Xingzhou announced to the world: "At this moment, I announce that the world's first "Loongson" chip with a three-nanometer process has been born!"
