Chapter 405: Name is Godson

Sitting on a table, Major Yang deliberately ordered a few more dishes because of the elder Wang. These scientific researchers are the most precious talents in the motherland. Moreover, their scientific research funding is not much, many people even use their wages for scientific research, they are the most respectable people.
"Our current development goal is 4KB of memory." Wang Lao said: "If we can use a 1 micron production process, then we can greatly increase our memory capacity, the highest estimate, we can use the original chip area To achieve 16KB of memory, this is a huge leap. The products we develop will become the most advanced memory chips!"
(It's better to call it memory, this is smooth)
In this era, a single memory chip is 4KB. If you want more memory, you can solder more chips on the motherboard. For example, in the early 1980s, the configuration of notebooks, the memory is 4KB, and at the same time, The best personal computer of this era has a maximum memory of less than 64KB.
Now, if it is increased to 16KB, the single capacity will almost reach the world's most advanced level, which is a huge leap.
The goal set by the country was originally 4KB, but now, now that there is a new technology, Wang Lao will never give up the pursuit of higher, his eyes are full of hope.
"In terms of equipment, I can think of ways to transform our existing equipment, but when I transform it out, how to operate it is up to the staff." Qin Guan said.
Qin Guan has found a 1 micron lithography machine in the cemetery, so the process is fine, but the problem of the operator is unsolvable. You can study it yourself, and I don't care.
"As long as you can give us reformation and operation, we will solve it." Wang Lao said.
This is different from last time. Qin Guan introduced CNC machine tools in the northern heavy truck factory, but no worker can operate a computer. In this era, computers are definitely tall.
However, if people in the Han Academy of Sciences have never seen a computer, it will definitely make people laugh. Many of them design computers. Some large computers in Han are designed by them. They design now. The memory chips of China are still prepared for computers in Han.
Therefore, even if it is a new machine, they can quickly figure out the principle, and then start the machine to make a chip.
Besides, the principle of the lithography machine is almost the same, mainly because the laser used by the machine is different and the wavelength is different, the process obtained is different.
"Okay, we'll go after dinner," Qin Guan said.
These researchers can't wait for even one night, and Qin Guan knows that he has a lot of things. Once he is delayed, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait. And Mr. Wang is definitely not willing to wait. They have to have a new technology to modify their design. If they modify the design, but finally find that the machine does not achieve this accuracy, they will design for nothing, and have to start all over again.
"Great." Wang Lao focused completely on the conversation with Qin Guan. He didn't pay attention to any delicious food. He picked up a piece of chopsticks casually, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. Two bites, it feels wrong, so spicy?
It turned out to be a piece of ginger!
The old man hardened his brows and swallowed this piece of into his stomach, whatever he wanted, as long as he could eat it.
And Qin Guan continued to talk about his idea: "If 16KB of memory can be made, then the yield rate can be greatly controlled. If some modules are defective during manufacturing, they can be blocked. Get up, even if half of it is shielded, 16KB of memory will be left with 8KB."
Wang Lao opened his eyes wide. He had never thought that he could do this!
The biggest problem in chip production is the yield rate. Even if the intact rate of each step is 98%, the final finished product will not exceed 5% in perfection rate. There are a lot of waste products, resulting in high cost.
But now, Qin Guan has provided a simple idea, and every piece of value can be brought into play.
Perfect, just print the 16KB label and sell it as the most high-end memory chip. If there is a problem, it can become 8KB or even 4KB. In this way, it can be effectively used, and the cost will continue to drop drastically!
Moreover, technically speaking, it is completely achievable.
"Comrade Qin Guan, this idea of ​​yours is great!" Wang Lao said: "A talent like you would be too talented to not enter our Han Academy of Sciences!"
Qin Guan smiled: "I'm just talking on paper. I went to the Han Academy of Sciences in the morning. I really couldn't understand the densely packed drawings."
Qin Guan is telling the truth, chip design is the most high-end talent, and he can't do it at all.
Then, Qin Guan said: "Old Wang, I have another new idea, which is to build our own general-purpose processor."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Elder Wang's body suddenly shook: "What did you say?"
"General-purpose processors, in eagle terms, are called CPUs." Qin Guan said, "How do you feel about Wang Lao?"
In later generations, Intel and AMD have made a lot of money around the world by relying on CPU chips, but now, general-purpose processors have just begun.
Intel’s 4004 is regarded as the first general-purpose processor chip, but it did not cause much sensation. It has a real impact on future generations. It should start with the 8086 processor. This processor was only launched last year. Put into production.
Starting from this processor, 80286,386... to Pentium, Celeron, to later Core processors, occupying the mainstream international market.
Although it has only just begun to develop, many people have foresight. For example, the prince who has studied chips for a lifetime, of course, knows what is the use of this so-called general-purpose processor. It can be used in all aspects!
At the same time, its technical difficulty is also the highest, and there are so-called patent problems.
In short, there will be a lot of difficulties. Now, why such an idea suddenly popped up in Qin Guan's mind? Is it the meaning of the country, or his personal opinion?
Mr. Wang did not speak, because in an instant, Mr. Wang had thought of many, many things, and various problems were dangling in front of his eyes. In short, the difficulty was too great.
"This project has not yet been approved by the state, but even if we invest ourselves, we must make it out." Qin Guan said firmly: "I have thought of a good name for this project, called Loongson."
In Han, the dragon is a totem, a kind of belief. Qin Guan called it Loongson. Of course, it came from later generations. Compared with the hard-developing Loongson in later generations, with its own support, it must be faster!
