Chapter 1046: 10 million per square millimeter!

Carbon-based chip institute.
This is the first time that Lu Zhou has come here.
But unlike usual, he stood here this time, and could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was different from the past.
how to say?
Although he used to come here more or less for similar purposes, such as making some progress in research, but this time the difference is that he can clearly see from the eyes of those researchers that the Long March is finally complete Joy and relief from despair ...
At the same time, he can clearly feel that the root of all of this is because of the thin, square box-shaped, black paint on his hand, which is not the size of the thumb nail cover.
"That's it."
After carefully handing the slice to Lu Zhou, Professor Wu Tianqun looked at it and excitedly introduced, "Long Teng 1000, the first prototype chip of the Long Teng series! Also called Long Teng No. 1! The specific performance parameters are yours before As you can see, the 28nm process technology we currently use has successfully increased the integration level from 3 million transistor units per square millimeter to 10 million! "
"According to the needs of friends and merchants, our initial positioning of this Dragon 1 chip is to serve mid-range and high-end servers, and the target is Intel Xeon X56 series chips. Although we are on the paper data of integration and process Slightly inferior to them, but relying on the superiority of carbon-based transistors in physical properties, I can say without exaggeration that we have left them half a street in terms of performance data! "
Use popular language as much as possible, Professor Wu Tianqun told Lu Zhou about the performance characteristics of this chip.
Although the density of 10 million transistors per square millimeter is relatively small compared to Intel, which can achieve a level of integration of 100 million. But carbon-based transistors and silicon-based transistors are two different things in their own right and cannot be generalized.
Take the benchmark Xeon series chip as an example. According to the different models and product positioning, the integration level is about 50 million. However, the horizontal comparison, the Longteng No. 1 that has just achieved the integration level of 10 million, is already available in Performance is better than Xeon X series chips with higher integration!
It can even be said that achieving such a result by achieving an integration level of only 10 million is exactly what makes him most proud. Because it just so happens that their technology has more room for improvement!
Wait until they develop the integration level and process to the same level as the carbon-based chips on the market today ...
I'm afraid the whole industry has to call them dad from the bottom of their hearts.
All in all, although the technology has just begun, the performance of Longteng No. 1 chip has initially demonstrated the superiority of carbon-based chips.
Whether it is the maximum power consumption of 20w, the clock frequency of 3.7GHz, or the superiority of carbon-based transistors in physical performance compared to silicon-based transistors, Professor Wu Tianqun gave the basis for this sentence in a positive tone.
After listening to Professor Wu Tianqun's statement, the expression of interest on Lu Zhou's face became stronger and stronger.
Although he does not know much about chips, and his contributions to this project are mainly focused on the theoretical level and the improvement of SG carbon materials, from the popular description and excited expression of Professor Wu Tianqun, he can still intuitively feel What awesome this technique is.
Looking carefully at the engraved texture faintly visible on the surface of the chip in his hand, and feeling the texture as light as hair, Lu Zhou could not help but give a compliment.
"So light!"
Compared to the texture and weight of silicon-based chips, this thing is as thin as a piece of paper ... No, it is better to say that from the perspective of chemical elements, it is originally a kind of thing with paper.
Professor Wu Tianqun smiled and said, "This is also one of the advantages of carbon-based chip materials. Our unit volume weight is even less than half that of silicon-based chips of the same volume!"
In fact, it's not just paper-like.
Playing with the chip in his hand, Lu Zhou suddenly found that this thing is quite amazing and can be bent at a small angle. And when he removed the force applied to the two ends of the chip, the whole chip returned to the original flat like a spring leaf ...
It's like a piece of hard-shell paper.
Just then, Lu Zhou suddenly realized something.
"I just hold this thing ... is it really okay?"
Professor Wu Tianqun said with a hearty smile, "This is no problem, this gadget is already a half-line product, and the unit price is so low that you may not believe it if you say it. You just broke it, and I have a bunch here, no Obstructive. "
Hearing this, Lu Zhou finally let go of his heart, the index finger and thumb made the strength even stronger.
He was curious, where was the limit of this chip.
As the force applied to both ends of the chip increased, finally, when the bending angle reached more than twenty degrees, the black chip finally broke from the middle and broke into two pieces.
Looking at the slightly surprised expression on the landing boat's face, Professor Wu Tianqun continued.
"Our chip is mainly made of SG series materials, and its performance in bending resistance is still good. I believe you know more than me. But ... I still don't recommend this thing. Generally speaking, bending In this case, its current transmission effect will still be affected. "
"I just tried it," Lu Zhou threw the wreckage of the chips into a special recycling bag, and then looked at Professor Wu Tianqun, saying with emotion, "I didn't expect that I haven't come in such a long time, and you even industrialized Issues are resolved. "
Professor Wu Tianqun said modestly: "The problem of industrialization is mainly solved by people from Hisilicon and the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We mainly do carbon-based transistors and specific integration processes."
Lu Zhou nodded, then asked, "When the situation is optimistic, when can it be put into production?"
Professor Wu Tianqun thought for a while and said, "According to the feedback from Hisense, we can start production as soon as the end of the month ... In fact, they are more anxious than us. Foreign semiconductor manufacturers are becoming more and more unruly. The US government's policies have been suppressed, and I have talked to their CTO about this issue, and they are counting on our carbon-based semiconductors to take them internationally. "
After hearing the second sentence, Lu Zhou's eyebrows raised a radian, and Waner said, "Presumably they will not be disappointed."
Professor Wu Tianqun laughed and said, "That's inevitable! I'm quite confident about the power of our technology and the strength of our Jinling Institute of Higher Education!"
After a while in the carbon-based chip lab,
Lu Zhou, who returned to the Dean's office, thought about it for a while, and finally decided to make the phone call to the Science and Industry Bureau first-that is, Director Li who had just left from him.
The phone rang three times and it was connected. Director Li's voice came quickly from the phone.
"Hello? What is it?"
Lu Zhou: "There is something really wrong."
Although "I have something to call myself" is indeed what I said, but I called just as soon as I left Luzhou, leaving Director Li speechless for a while.
Nima, can't you just talk face to face just now?
You have to wait until you are in the car before you call.
"I didn't say something about it just now? Tomorrow, I'm going to the high-tech park for a meeting now, and I'll see you tomorrow--"
"It's about Longteng One, just that carbon-based chip--"
I haven't waited for Lu Zhou to finish a sentence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Director Li was so excited that he immediately said: "Where are you now?"
Hearing the eager voice from the other end of the phone, Lu Zhou said with a smile, and said softly.
"... still in my office."
"Wait for me, I'll be right ... Liu, turn around! Go back to the Advanced Institute!"
"But there is an hour left of the meeting over the high-tech park--"
"Stupid! It's important to have a meeting, but it's important to Professor Lu!"
"Yes……"
In a messy ending, the phone hung up.
The expression was sitting on the office chair slightly indifferently, and then Lu Zhou who came back to him immediately smiled and shook his head, leaving the phone on the table.
Longteng No. 1 has been made.
According to Professor Wu, there should be no problem in terms of production. The Jiangcheng Semiconductor Industrial Base and the entire fifth largest semiconductor industry group serve this carbon-based chip project.
All supporting facilities have been prepared even before the project started. Warwick Hisilicon, which is marching from the chip design towards the top of the semiconductor industry chain, also has enough motivation to do its best in industrialization.
The only thing to consider now is how to play this card.
The forefinger nodded slightly on the table. After Lu Zhou thought for a moment, he finally shook his head.
Forget it, people who think about this problem have a headache, or discuss it with professionals.
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again, and called the phone to a number that is not usually used.
In fact, this number would stay in his address book, and he was a little strange. He almost forgot almost when he was added.
"Hello? Boss Wang?"
"Well, it's me."
"We have made the chip you ordered."
