City: Start A Chip Factory

Du Bo thought for a moment and realized that he made some slip of the tongue, so he immediately corrected it: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake just now."

Everyone was relieved.

It turns out it was Du Bo who was talking nonsense.

Du Bo said it was too scary.

Li Jun: "Mr. Du, please continue."

With that said, Li Jun took a sip of mineral water to calm down his shock.

Du Bo: "I mean, if you give me the chip design today, I can tape it out tomorrow."

"laugh!"

Li Jun almost spit out the water in his mouth.

What Du Bo said is different from just now!

Even a layman knows this is impossible!

Wang Jiale was a little anxious and winked at Du Bo to tell him to stop talking nonsense.

Li Jun: "Mr. Du, I really can't understand what you are saying. I don't think there is any factory in the world that can do this."

Du Bo felt more confident now, and said carelessly: "Mr. Li, you have also seen that the equipment here is very advanced. Others can't do it, but I can do it here."

Everyone looked at Du Bo as if they were looking at a madman.

Others can’t do it, but you can do it here? Are you the only one who is awesome?

Co-author: Are companies such as Bay Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Samsung vegetarian?

Du Bo doesn't care about this: "Otherwise, it's just empty talk. Just give me a copy of the chip design and let me try it out."

Mr. Li thought about it and felt that what Du Bo said made sense.

As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is a mule or a horse and pull it out for a ride.

Li Jun: "Okay, I'll have someone send the chip design in a moment, but Mr. Du must be careful. Our car-standard chip design cannot be leaked."

Du Bo: "Of course, protecting customer confidentiality is the most basic."

In fact, Li Jun is not that stupid. What he plans to send to Du Bo is the previous generation of car-standard chip design.

Even if Du Bo leaks the secret, the loss will not be big.

The conversation was almost over, and Li Jun was leaving.

Before leaving, Wang Jiale pulled Du Bo aside again and asked in a low voice: "Is this factory really yours?"

Du Bo couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him directly.

Wang Jiale: "Can you really make chips here? Are you sure you didn't buy that wafer online?"

Du Bo got angry and went up to hit him with his fists.

After seeing off Wang Jiale, Li Jun and the others, Du Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I still haven't been able to sign a contract, at least I have a way out.

Of course, this is also due to the boy Wang Jiale.

Du Bo will find time to treat him to dinner later.

If a big contract is really signed, it would be okay to give Wang Jiale some commission.

Du Bo feels that he is quite kind.

After a while, Du Bo received a call from Wang Jiale.

Wang Jiale: "Du Bo, check the email quickly. The chip design should have been sent to you."

Du Bo agreed and hung up the phone.

Du Bo opened the email and indeed received the chip design plan from the future.

Simply put, it is the IC design of future car-standard chips.

The specification is 28 nanometers, which is simply trivial to Du Bo's chip factory.

The design software is eda, which is used internationally.

Du Bo's chip factory is fully compatible with this popular software.

As soon as he said it, Du Bo entered the production line control center and entered the design plan for future car-sized chips into the computer.

Then the start button of the production line was pressed.

Tape-out begins!

All that's left is waiting.

Du Bo was hungry, so he ordered egg fried rice.

While eating, I continued to study the instructions from the chip factory.

Many functions of chip factories have not yet been studied clearly.

This chip factory has been approved.

Not only can it produce ordinary silicon-based chips, but as the level increases, it can also produce photonic chips and quantum chips!

Du Bo becomes more and more excited as he watches. What does this mean?

It means that Du Bo has mastered the most advanced core technology in the world!

Du Bo finished his meal and watched videos on his mobile phone for a while.

Du Bo heard a "beep" sound, and the tape-out was completed.

Du Bo still took the entire wafer directly from the production line without cutting and packaging.

Well, not bad, very satisfied.

At this time, Du Bo received a message.

[System]: Level 1 chip factory, growth rate +10.

There is no way, 28nm tape-out can only have this little experience value.

Du Bo checked and found that upgrading to a second-level chip factory requires one million growth points, which is a long way to go.

Early the next morning, Du Bo took the wafer to the headquarters building of the future electric vehicle.

At this time, Li Jun was holding a regular board meeting.

A group of major shareholders are besieging Li Jun.

"Mr. Li, when will our chip problem be solved?"

"Production has been reduced for two months now, which has seriously affected our performance. If this continues, the company's market value will be lost."

"We can't continue like this anymore, we must find more ways!"

Li Jun spread his hands helplessly: "I know we have to find a solution, but what solution? There are only a few chip foundries now, and their production capacity has been scheduled for the year after next. There is really no solution for the time being."

What Li Jun said was very realistic. The shareholders were silent, looking at each other and speechless.
