Chapter 847: Catch up (on)

This news looks really inconspicuous. It is such a big piece of tofu news, it seems that the media itself does not pay much attention to it, but there is a suitable positive news to fill the blank space, which is trivial.
Speaking of domestic chips, this news is no longer news. Loongson set up the project as early as 01, and has been successful in 2002. Last year, Loongson 2 was successful. Of course, there are also slapsticks of Hanxin. Anyway, it is not unusual for domestic chips anymore. Everyone has heard many stories before and after. I really don't think this is a breakthrough.
Many "smart people" knew at the first glance of this news that this must be a project team's frustrated funding, and now it has reached the project review stage, so be sure to produce some results and report to it, so this tofu news 'S introduction.
Even if it is a specific person who pays special attention to this industry, it is a smile. If a major breakthrough is really achieved, it must be the front page headline, and it must be inspected and cared by leaders at all levels, and all kinds of achievements won this award or the like. Will it be so unknown?
Domestic production should be domestic production, but it is estimated that it has achieved some of the European and American chip manufacturing levels in the 1970s and 1980s, and achieved a domestic zero breakthrough. Barely regarded as a small step in technological development, filling the domestic gap, the true level is really not a big book or special book, only perfunctory. Of course, the project should also be considered a success. The domestic production line is not easy! It is worth encouraging. Keep up the effort and strive for greater success!
After watching it, everyone just left this news behind, a piece of news that is not worth paying attention to, is it?
In a situation where people didn't pay attention, all the technicians involved in this matter in a top-secret factory in Gusu were shaking with excitement at the moment.
The domestic production line is real. Wafer factories already have them in China, but what is lacking is actually lithography machines. The first domestically designed lithography machine was also manufactured by Guo Tailai.
In the past, everyone had to consider the manufacturing capacity when designing, but before the design, all designers were told that they could get rid of the limitation of manufacturing capacity and design according to the highest specifications. Despite the confusion, the complete design was started as required.
Of course, before some technological breakthroughs, even the highest specification design still has its limits. The designers are very clear about this, but everyone is still very happy, and finally they can imagine without restrictions and no longer need to wear shackles to dance.
After the design, other than the chief designer, everyone is actually very shy. Just looking at this design, I am afraid that the machining dimensions of the parts must be as precise as dazzling. And it can't be processed just, it must be assembled to be perfect. Can such a design really be made in China?
"Yes!" The chief designer is more confident than many people: "Don't forget, there is a manufacturing master in our country. The limit tolerance of hand-made parts is currently within ten nanometers, which is also the most sophisticated processing in our country. Equipment assembler! "
"Mr. T?" Everyone in the project team was surprised. In addition to being happy, everyone was shocked. Is Mr. T's price really affordable for this project team?
This project team is top-secret. All the people who can enter the project team are strictly selected for investigation and political review. There will be no problem, so let them know that the identity of the manufacturer is not a violation, not to mention when Guo Tai came. I'm here to assemble here, and I always have to meet everyone. As a world-class celebrity, Guo Tailai's identity cannot be concealed, and letting designers know who is ultimately responsible for manufacturing and assembly can also greatly increase their confidence.
After returning to Gusu in October, it took Guo Tailai a whole month and a half to complete all the lithography machine parts and components in the studio. During this time, Guo Tailai not only pretended to grind the mirror while he was opening a video with others, but at other times, he was all manufacturing lithography machine parts, and even the construction of several ultra-high-precision manufacturing machinery also stopped. , Full impact on the lithography machine.
Recently, the world has been enthusiastic about Guo Tailai's purchase of an AMC circuit. No one would believe that Guo Tailai would come here at this critical moment to start assembling a lithography machine.
The owner of the project team finally realized the power of Guo Tailai on the spot.
The five senior assembly fitters were all young and powerful. They gave Guo Tailai a shot. Guo Tailai assembled the lithography machines one by one from the beginning. While assembling, Guo Tailai orally explained the precautions during assembly, various testing methods, and debugging methods. At least five members of the project team around it were recording at any time. Although the five senior assembly fitters are all older than Guo Tailai, none of them have the slightest impact. According to Guo Tailai's requirements, assisting Guo Tai to assemble, he is constantly learning.
At the beginning, Guo Tailai missed a hand and directly reported several accurate dimensions without any tools. After a few torque data accurate to three digits after the decimal point, the five senior assembly fitters no longer felt unconvinced.
Even so, with the help of a skilled senior assembly engineer, it still took Guo Tailai a whole week to assemble that lithography machine. The next step is the overall debugging of the operating system.
It took another two days to debug the system, and this was the first time to test tape out.
Because it only tests the performance of the lithography machine, there is no brand-new chip design, but the mature 8088 chip is used to perform the tape test.
The project team originally planned to use the 150-nanometer process for testing. As a result, Guo Tailai strongly requested to go directly to the 90-nanometer process.
After hearing this request, everyone in the project team was horrified. Ninety nanometer process, but that's the level of the new Xeon chip. Although this lithography machine is designed with the highest accuracy, can it work?
The process of tape-out was smooth, and a batch of chips seemed to be easily produced. This shows that at least the lithography machine is operating normally.
The test results are ecstatic. The batch of 8088 chips produced by the 90-nanometer process is perfect and fully meets the requirements of various chip tests. Microscope observations have also confirmed the process size, which also means that this lithography machine can really produce chips with a 90-nm process.
As soon as the test results were announced, everyone in the project team cheered. This level can be said to be the world's advanced level?
"Is there anything to cheer for?" Guo Tailai shook his head beside him for a while, facing the chief designer with his eyes wide open, and asked directly: "Continue, try another 45 nanometers."
"Are you sure?" Even the chief designer was not calm this time, staring at Guo Tai for a while.
