Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 508 of Xueba's Black Technology System Volume Volume: Carbon-based chip prospects The investment in material research and development is a big pit, but it also depends on who is invested.

Having tasted the sweetness from the SG-1 wire, Manager Sun had already made up his mind and hugged the thighs of Jinling Institute of Higher Education.

For Lu Zhou, Manager Sun is willing to ask him, and he is happy to point them.

Going forward, it can help Chinese companies build their core competitiveness in the global market.

From a practical point of view, it is also profitable for him.

Take the SG-1 material, every centimeter of the SG-1 wire produced by Baosheng Group includes the patent cost. Although this income is not as rich as the lithium battery brought him, but it is also considerable.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said in a chatty tone: "I'm not very good at talking about the future development of your company. But since you have established advantages in the production of carbon-based materials, why not consider this Expansion of advantage? "

Hearing this sentence, Manager Sun's face immediately showed a serious expression.

"Oh? What's your opinion on Professor Lu?"

"It's not a good idea," Lu Zhou smiled, paused, and continued to say, "I just heard that recently, a research team at the University of California has successfully synthesized in the laboratory through an interesting method. Graphene nanoribbons with a width of only 1 nanometer and a length of 50 nanometers. This research has already attracted IBM's interest and is widely optimistic for the production of next-generation carbon-based chips. "

As we all know, 7 nanometers is the physical limit of silicon-based transistors. Once the size of a transistor is less than 7 nanometers, the behavior of electrons will be limited by the influence of quantum uncertainty, resulting in a quantum tunneling effect. wall". Under such circumstances, silicon-based transistors will no longer be reliable, and the upgrade of chip manufacturing processes will also face huge challenges.

In order to face this challenge, it is almost the consensus of industry and academia to find new materials to replace traditional silicon materials and produce electronic devices with smaller size and better performance.

According to known research results, among the several technical routes currently considered feasible, there are already options such as carbon nanotubes, molybdenum disulfide, black phosphorus, graphene, and tungsten diselenide.

Because he is studying carbon nanomaterials, Lu Zhou is naturally more optimistic about the technical route of graphene.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When Mott insulators have been observed, graphene does have the potential to be used as a semiconductor material in electronic devices.

Chip ...

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Manager Sun couldn't help but have a headache.

Although the thigh is thick enough, it always hurts to jump into the pit.

"Professor Lu ... shouldn't we suggest that we jump into the chip pit?"

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Manager Sun's face, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "You are not electronics companies. It is certainly unrealistic for you to develop chips. I just think that since we have completed a few thousand nanometers in width, In the production of graphene materials, why not try to challenge a few nanometer-wide graphene nanoribbons? I know these are two very different technologies, but I think we have the ability to make them. "

Lu Zhou didn't just talk about it.

While chatting with Professor Bavandi on the plane, he had the intention in this regard.

Of course, the current research is definitely still dominated by controlled nuclear aggregation.

Not to mention that even if he is interested in black technology such as carbon-based chips, the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research has no talent in this area.

Let's wait until the end of the controllable fusion project to consider this issue.

I believe that by then, many problems will not be a problem.

With a helpless smile on his face, Manager Sun shook his head.

Several nanometer-wide graphene nanoribbons ...

It's easy to say.

This is all money ...

...

The Controlled Fusion Exchange Conference lasted five days.

For Lu Zhou, these five days' harvest is also quite rich.

In addition to those interesting lectures, the advanced technology displayed by major research institutes has also greatly enriched his horizons.

He has purchased at least $ 40 million of equipment, including a three-alpha FRC unit.

Although the function of the FRC device is only a bit faster and more stable than the microwave heating device, it is not a key technology, but it is still somewhat useful.

In addition to this non-critical component of the FRC device, He-3 Atomic Probe is also a critical component in Luzhou's purchase list.

When it comes to He-3 atom probes, we have to mention Professor Lazersson.

The former PPPL laboratory engineer has now stepped into the industry as a technician, and now he is in the plasma physics world.

With the accumulated contacts in academia, he knows more clearly what kind of experimental equipment those scholars need, and he has made the He-3 atomic probe technology with little oil and water bigger and stronger.

At the dinner banquet on the evening of the meeting, when chatting with this old friend, Lu Zhou learned that his business has become bigger and bigger. Not only has he maintained close cooperation with more than 20 Plasma Institutes, but also become One of the suppliers of the ITER project.

Not only that, He-3 atom probe technology has also been upgraded with his improvements, and now the observation accuracy of high-density plasma has been significantly improved.

Speaking of which, when He-3 was first established, Lu Zhou seemed to have invested millions of dollars.

So, he seems to be one of the shareholders of this company?

"I bet this is definitely one of the most successful investments in your life," Professor Lazelsson said with a smile about the past, "the original few million dollars, now worth at least 100 million. Etc. The prospects for controlled nuclear fusion technology are clear, and I plan to list on the Nasdaq section ~ www.readwn.com ~ By then you can just wait and count the money. "

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yes? Good luck then."

Professor Lazelsson looked at Lu Zhou by surprise: "Why aren't you excited at all?"

Lu Zhou made a helpless expression: "... When your money has been so high that you can't spend it in your next life, even if someone suddenly tells you that you have made hundreds of millions more, I am afraid you will be expressionless. I am now worried about It feels like this, you should be able to appreciate it. "

Although he may not be worth hundreds of millions of dollars in assets compared to those billionaires on the Forbes wealth list, the problem is that his billions are all cash, the meaning is completely different. .

In addition, his consumption level was not high. Although the Jinling Institute of Higher Education had set aside a lot of money, it was unexpected that not only was the money back, but he also made a lot of money for him due to patent fees.

Professor Razelsong stared at Lu Zhou for a long while.

After a while, he shook his head.

"... No, I don't know."

...

After the dinner was closed at the end of the meeting, the group returned to the hotel room one after another, ready to pack their luggage.

The return flight will be tomorrow morning. In order to allow more time before boarding tomorrow, the preparations must be made in advance.

In the corridor of the hotel, two people, Fei Jingyu and Dian Cili, were found, and Lu Zhou asked them.

"Eight tomorrow morning, you will follow Professor Li Changxia to the plane. Remember not to get up late then."

Fei Jinghuan: "Good professor ... will you not go back with us?"

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"I still have something to do. You go back first."
