Chapter 268: Chip simulator

Li Hao finished breakfast and let security guard Ji Lin send Zhou Yunsheng to the company. He went to the rented laboratory.
Today, I made an appointment with Professor Wang Rongzhe and came to the lithography machine project laboratory together. They had to negotiate related cooperation.
Li Hao drove to the laboratory soon, and saw employees continue to work at this time.
This laboratory has fully activated the scientific research assistance system, and you can see that employees have special glasses installed on their eyes.
Most people have glasses between orange and green, and few have glasses above blue.
As soon as Li Hao walked into the laboratory, he saw that Sun Kai, the person in charge of the lithography project, was in the hall.
After Sun Kai saw Li Hao coming to the laboratory, he walked to Li Hao and said with surprise: "Director Bi Ye's physics laboratory is really good. Now the most important light source for the lithography machine has been successfully developed.
I tried their newly developed stacked laser, which can easily process silicon-based semiconductor materials and carbon-based semiconductor materials. Should be able to process the carbon-based chip Wang Rongzhe needs "
"Your project is progressing very fast, and this momentum should be maintained." Li Hao first praised.
He later reminded: "Don't be complacent about developing an accessory. A lithography machine is a complex machine that requires high processing accuracy and assembly accuracy.
We just made all the accessories, and finally the industrial assembly failed, and the entire lithography machine failed.
What I am most worried about now is machining accuracy and assembly accuracy. Our company is completely new to this field. "
"The members of our project team also discussed in detail and finally came up with the idea of ​​using artificial intelligence and industrial robot processing and assembly methods.
Adjust the accuracy of the robot step by step. The failure rate may be very high in the early stage, but only once. Through the memory of artificial intelligence, a success rate of more than 99% can be achieved. "Sun Kai said happily that they are going to implement the technical solution.
After Li Hao listened, he thought for a while. Found this method to be the easiest way their company could achieve.
He agreed with a smile: "Then try this method first, success is better. If it is not successful, you can only train technicians for a long time. Let them reach the level that can assemble the lithography machine."
While they were discussing, they heard the noise at the gate of the laboratory.
Li Hao turned to look at the gate and found that it was Professor Wang Rongzhe who brought his doctoral student to the laboratory.
He also saw Bogo carrying a large box with his colleagues.
Li Hao immediately walked over to meet them. He stepped forward and shook hands with Professor Wang Rongzhe and said, "Welcome you to our laboratory, and hope that we can reach a consensus today."
After the polite words, Li Hao pointed to the big box and asked, "Professor Wang, what's in this box?"
Wang Rongzhe said with a smile: "This box contains carbon-based semiconductor materials produced in our laboratory.
Yesterday, Manager Sun Kai sent me a message saying that the light source for processing carbon-based chips has been developed.
I took this opportunity to process a batch of carbon-based chips. Verify that the carbon nanotransistors I designed can be processed correctly. And test whether the microstructure of the carbon-based chip design can fulfill its intended function. "
When Li Hao heard what Wang Rongzhe said, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Professor Wang, you are too anxious. Our lithography machine project only completes the light source, and the grating material or semi-finished product has a very short life.
Other systems are under development, and even a prototype lithography machine cannot be assembled. Now it is a joke to process carbon-based chips? "
Wang Rongzhe immediately explained: "Chairman Lee thinks too much, and we cannot ask for a carbon-based chip to be processed now.
We are processing a carbon-based chip simulator, which is essentially a carbon-based chip.
Just the size of the carbon-based chip is one square centimeter, and the carbon-based chip we are processing is one square meter.
The processing of miniature carbon-based chips requires a lithography machine. To process this huge chip simulator, it only needs the combination of light sources and gratings that can meet the processing requirements, and the accuracy of the equipment is not high.
This chip simulator is mainly to verify the performance of our carbon-based chips and various microstructures.
See if we can meet the requirements of our design, so as to adjust the design drawing of the carbon-based chip in time. All it requires is normal use. "
After hearing from Wang Rongzhe, Li Hao asked Sun Kai: "Can our company's current technological level meet the processing requirements of Professor Wang?"
Sun Kai nodded his finger a few times in the air, Li Hao could see that he was asking the engineer. Among the main engineers asked was Feng Fengfeng, an expert supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
After reading the collected data, Sun Kai said with a smile: "Our company can fully meet the requirements of Professor Wang, but now the grating material is unstable, and after processing a chip, it is necessary to change a grating immediately.
The estimated cost of processing the entire carbon-based chip is 8.9 million yuan each. Professor Wang needs to process several chips. "
When Wang Rongzhe heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it expensive to process a carbon-based chip now? Can it be cheaper?"
Their project still hasn't achieved much, although the above is re-reviewed. However, no research funding has been allocated. He also prepared to process the chip simulator, and using this product to find the top to ask for funding, now he is very short of money.
Li Hao saw the embarrassed look of Sun Kai and the scared expression of Professor Wang Rongzhe.
He said directly, "What money do we need? We are partners. We have produced several chip simulators ~ EbookFREE.me ~ even if our company donated them to Professor Wang for scientific research purposes."
This is a small sum of money for their company, and giving it to promote the relationship between the two parties, Li Hao thinks it is worth it.
Not to mention cooperation for a while, the plan proposed by Li Hao will also damage the interests of Professor Wang.
Wang Rongzhe said embarrassed, "How can I use your company's money."
Li Hao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it is to test the performance of our lithography machine light source and grating."
At this time, Sun Kai came to Li Hao and said, "General Manager Li, the light source is already prepared in the laboratory and the grating material is being configured. Processing can be carried out immediately."
After hearing it, Li Hao asked Wang Rongzhe: "Professor Wang, do you bring the design drawings of the carbon-based chip. It is best to have an electronic version of the design drawing, which can be easily identified by artificial intelligence."
Zhu Yanbo came up, handed a chip to Sun Kai, and said, "This is the design drawing of the carbon-based chip, which contains a hexadecimal code, which can be read directly by the machine."
Li Hao saw that the preparatory work before processing had been completed, and he instructed Sun Kai: "Then start processing the chip simulator now. Also test the basic results of the lithography machine project now."
Sun Kai immediately agreed: "I'll start making arrangements now and I can start processing in five minutes."
He also asked Zhu Yanbo to hand over the materials to the robots that transported the items.
Zhu Yanbo told Sun Kai that this material needs to be clean in a dust-free environment.
