City: Start A Chip Factory

If you have acquaintances, it will be easier to do things.

Wong Jiale's role is quite important, otherwise Du Bo would never be able to handle this matter.

The meeting time is scheduled for 11:30 the next day, and the location is the future automobile headquarters office building.

Wang Jiale works in the marketing department, but he knows a colleague in the supply chain department.

This colleague’s name is Zhang Chunhua.

Zhang Chunhua knows more than Wang Jiale, so he can certainly tell whether the chip is reliable.

However, Zhang Chunhua didn’t believe that Wang Jiale’s classmates could really make chips, and they just came over to chat when they weren’t busy.

After chatting for half an hour, it happened to be twelve o'clock, so we just chatted before dinner.

Before Du Bo arrived, Wang Jiale and Zhang Chunhua got together to smoke.

Zhang Chunhua: "Is that classmate of yours really trying to make a chip?"

Wang Jiale spread his hands and said, "How could I know? I don't know what's wrong with him."

Zhang Chunhua: "If he can't come up with anything decent later, can I laugh at him?"

Wang Jiale waved his hand: "That's alright, just give me some face and laugh a little."

Zhang Chunhua laughed loudly: "Okay, no problem, at most I'll make him blush."

While the two were talking, Wang Jiale's cell phone rang.

Du Bo has arrived at the front desk.

Wang Jiale brought Du Bo in.

The three of them found a small conference room and sat down.

Zhang Chunhua looked at Du Bo for a few times, and the more he looked at it, the more unreliable he felt.

Although Du Bo is handsome, he doesn't look like a boss.

Moreover, the boss of the chip factory must have a deputy or assistant. Du Bo came here alone with a bag, which was too out of place.

Wang Jiale introduced the two of them there, and they were considered acquaintances.

Du Bo didn't care what others thought now, he took the wafer out of the bag and put it on the table.

Zhang Chunhua was startled: "Is this a wafer?"

Du Bo nodded.

Zhang Chunhua picked it up casually and looked at it casually: "Isn't this really what you produced?"

Du Bo: "It's produced by my chip factory."

Zhang Chunhua said "Oh": "Is this the public version of the tape-out? How many nanometers?"

Du Bo: "14 nanometers."

Zhang Chunhua: "Ten..."

His eyes suddenly widened: "14 nanometers!? Real or fake? Your factory can produce 14 nanometers!?"

Wong Jiale couldn't help but remind him: "Du Bo, don't make such a joke."

Du Bo raised his eyebrows: "Why did I come all the way here to make such a joke? Am I crazy?"

Du Bo's chip factory can not only produce 28-nanometer chips, but also 22-nanometer, 14-nanometer, 7-nanometer, 6-nanometer, 5-nanometer... and even to the highest level, it can increase the manufacturing process to the physical limit of 1 nanometer.

However, the current level of chip factories is too low. When producing high-process chips, the yield rate will decrease and the energy consumption will be high.

Zhang Chunhua looked down at the wafer again, this time very carefully.

Wang Jiale immediately asked: "How is it, is it really 14 nanometers?"

Zhang Chunhua squinted his eyes for a long time and shook his head: "I don't know much about chips. How about... I find someone who knows?"

Du Bo: "Okay, no problem."

After a while, Zhang Chunhua pulled over another person, also a man.

Zhang Chunhua: "This is our chip expert, Shi Qiming."

Shi Qiming wears glasses, is well-mannered, and wears a pineapple shirt. At first glance, he belongs to the science and engineering type.

Shi Qiming was a little embarrassed: "I know a little bit, I know a little bit..."

Zhang Chunhua: "Old Shi, look, is this a 14nm wafer?"

Shi Qiming was startled: "...14 nanometers? Which factory made it? Zhongxin?"

Zhang Chunhua pointed at Du Bo: "It's from their factory."

Shi Qiming: "Are you from Zhongxin?"

Du Bo shook his head: "No."

Shi Qiming was stunned.

Everyone knows that currently only Zhongxin International can produce 14nm process chips in China.

Zhang Chunhua: "First check to see if it is 14 nanometers."

Shi Qiming held the wafer in both hands, looking at it first, then down, left, right, and then looked closer.

I saw Shi Qiming's eyes getting bigger and bigger, and he stared straight for several minutes.

Wang Jiale couldn't help it anymore and asked aloud: "Is it 14 nanometers?"

Shi Qiming raised his head and adjusted his glasses: "This... we still need to use instruments to check."

When everyone heard this, they almost fell over.

Zhang Chunhua: "You can't tell that it's co-authored? Then you're still looking at it for so long! It's such a trap!"

Shi Qiming: "This is at the nanometer level. It can be distinguished by the naked eye! But I'll just take a look..."

Wang Jiale: "What's wrong?"

Shi Qiming: "It's a bit like...so I have to get the instrument to take a look."

Wang Jiale: "Then go and see it."

Shi Qiming: "We don't have it here. We have to go to the R&D center in the suburbs."

Shi Qiming said to Du Bo again: "How about you keep this wafer here, and we will notify you after testing."

Du Bo was a little disappointed, but still said: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

As a result, Du Bo received a call the next day.

It was Wang Jiale who called.

After Du Bo answered the phone, Wang Jiale's urgent voice came: "Du, Du Bo, where are you!?"
