When everyone was in a meeting, a manager hurried in.

Vice President He turned his head to look, and scolded: "What's the matter, you don't knock on the door when you come in, don't you see that we are in a meeting?"

The manager quickly said: "Boss, all the bosses, just now Amai Company in the Netherlands announced that they will resume the production of high-end lithography machines this month!"

"What?" Vice President He was surprised, "Amai company got the parts supply from related companies in Meiguo?"

"Yes, companies such as Woodsde Company, Dalang Company in Meiguo, and Portrad Company in Eagle Country have resumed production one after another, producing key components of high-end photolithography machines and photoresists for manufacturing high-end chips. It is also gradually resuming production and supply, which is why Taiji Electronics and Four Star Group are actively preparing to resume the production of five-nanometer process chips!"

"Moreover, I also received news from my peers that Taiji Electronics is planning to tape out 3nm process chips. They have made samples, and now that they have purchased high-end photoresists, they can not only resume the production of 5nm process chips. , and can speed up the pace of tape-out of 3nm process chips!" The manager finished the news he had received in one breath.

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the manager and asked, "Is the news that Taiji Electronics will be taping out three-nanometer process chips reliable?"

"I have a college classmate who is in Taiji Electric. I called him to confirm after I received the news. He said that this matter is no secret among them. Taping is normal, but I don't know how long it will take to get over it. According to their past situation, the technical problems in assembly line production usually take half a year to a year!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!" The manager promised, turned and left.

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the high-level executives and said: "Competition is everywhere, and it exists all the time. We are making progress, and others are not standing still. Although Taiji Electronics is about to start tape-out of 3nm process chips , but it may take one to two years for them to reach a mature technology level, I think our company has to consider the issue of releasing 3nm process chips to foreign companies!"

Vice President Wang said: "I think this issue should be considered. Since our company's three-nanometer process chip came out and passed the tape-out, and achieved a high yield rate of mass production, this time has passed for almost two years. In the past two years, we only supplied the domestic market and did not sell it to foreign markets!"

"In some respects, we are protecting the relevant domestic technology industries, allowing them time to catch up with foreign countries, but this is at the expense of our foreign markets and a large number of profits. From the current situation, Our approach has achieved results. The performance advantages of the products of some related domestic technology companies have reached or even surpassed those of some large foreign technology companies, and their international market share has also greatly increased!"

"Just to give a few simple examples, there are mobile phones produced by the company, Rice Company, and Huiyao Group, as well as several domestic brand notebook computers and desktop computers. These products are popular at home and abroad because of their excellent performance and good user experience feedback. The sales volume has increased greatly, and the market share in some countries once surpassed the products of fruit, Internet, earbuds and other companies, and the competitiveness has been greatly improved!"

"I think we can relax the sales restrictions on 3nm process chips and high-end lithography machines in foreign markets, and seize foreign markets as soon as possible!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked Liu Zhiyuan: "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Zhiyuan thought about it and said: "I also agree that this issue can be considered, but I think we must seize the time. Shopping malls are like battlefields. If the export restrictions on 3nm process chips and high-end lithography machines are opened too early, we cannot To achieve the goal of attacking competitors; but if the release is too late, and the market cannot be seized in time, it will eventually lead to a situation where several tigers are fighting each other!"

Tang Xiaochuan nodded: "Mr. Liu's idea of ​​grasping the time to release is very good. The purpose of relaxing export restrictions is to not only attack competitors, but also quickly occupy the market. Let them know they have no chance when 3nm chips are coming to market!"

Speaking of this, Tang Xiaochuan said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Mr. Liu, regarding the issue of opening up exports to foreign markets, please explain the situation to the higher authorities and say hello!"

"Okay, boss!"

After the meeting, Tang Xiaochuan returned to the office.

At this time, it was five past seven at night, and Guan Jingwen called, "Honey, I'm waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

"I just finished a meeting, and it will take half an hour to get home!"

Tang Xiaochuan went downstairs and sat in the car, raised his hand and said, "Old Lei, contact Professor Liu!"

"Yes, sir!"

Professor Liu's 3D virtual image appeared in the car, "Boss, what are your orders?"

"Professor Liu, what do you think of the 2nm process chip technology of Ademon Corporation that was passed to you last time?"

Professor Liu said: "Under the situation that quantum computing has not made much progress, people still implant more transistors on the carrier per unit area as a way to improve processor performance and reduce power consumption, but on silicon materials , 5 nanometers is already the limit. If the gate width is further reduced, the movement of electrons will be uncontrollable, and quantum effects will occur. In the absence of more suitable materials, people can only study ways to reduce quantum effects, such as research The new transistor structure makes it easier for electrons to pass through!"

"Actually, quantum effects have occurred since 10 nanometers, and become more obvious at 7 nanometers. This is why the structure of transistors is becoming more and more complex. These technical changes are to minimize the occurrence of quantum effects. Electrons are escaping everywhere. Now the architecture of the transistors on Adimon’s 2nm chip is different from the current mainstream FinFET architecture. It uses the surrounding gate (AGG). The FinFET architecture is equivalent to a planar structure, while AGG is a three-dimensional structure. AGG is the first structure adopted by Four Star Company. Unfortunately, the 2nm chip of Adimon Company is also AGG, but the AGG architecture is divided into nanowire structure and nanosheet structure. The 2nm chip of Adimon Company uses three layers Nanoscale silicon wafers stacked horizontally!"

Professor Liu stretched out his hand, and a three-dimensional picture appeared on the virtual image, "Look at this transistor structure diagram, this is the transistor structure diagram on Ademon's 2nm chip, three layers of nanosheets, and the gap between each layer of nanosheets. The height is 5nm, the gate length is 12nm, and the multi-contact pitch is 44nm!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Didn't it mean 2 nanometers? Why didn't I see the so-called 2 nanometers? The gate length should be 2 nanometers?"

Professor Liu said with a smile: "2 nanometers is just a term, not referring to the physical gate length of 2 nanometers, but equivalent to the node density on the transistor!"

Tang Xiaochuan couldn't help scolding: "Oh, it's a trick! I thought they really made a chip with a gate length of 2 nanometers on the silicon wafer material, but they made this transistor with three layers of stacked nanosheets. It has indeed improved chip performance and reduced power consumption, can our chips also use this transistor architecture?"

Professor Liu said: "If we use their structure, our company has to purchase a patent license, but our company's 3nm+ also uses a three-dimensional structure, but it is different from this nanowire structure and nanosheet structure, so it is in performance. The performance and power consumption are much higher than those of 3nm, and our 3nm chip is a brand-new material, which will not cause the limit quantum effect of the silicon chip at 5nm, and it can allow us It has been used until the one-nanometer process chip!"

"From 3 nanometers to 1 nanometer, various technical upgrades can be made to the transistor structure, and there is infinite space. If you want to further improve chip performance and reduce power consumption, you must optimize the quantum algorithm!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "In terms of quantum computers, can our company conduct research projects?"

Professor Liu said with a smile: "We have established a project and conducted research long ago, and have already achieved some results. Now we have developed a second-generation quantum computer!"

Tang Xiaochuan was pleasantly surprised: "What? You have developed a second-generation quantum computer? Why didn't you tell me?"

"When the first-generation quantum computer was developed and tested for computing performance, you were celebrating the Spring Festival, so I didn't bother you; when the second-generation quantum computer was developed, you were on the moon!"

Tang Xiaochuan opened his mouth wide: "From the first generation of quantum computers to the second generation, it only took you a few months?"

"Yes, scientists have a high research enthusiasm!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Did the two generations of quantum computing have a name?"

"Yes, the first generation of quantum computers is named Wisdom 1, and the second generation is named Wisdom 2!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked again: "How many times is the computing speed of our smart 1 quantum computer faster than that of traditional supercomputers?"

"About 150 trillion times!"

"What about the second-generation Wisdom Type 2?"

"The second generation is 1000 trillion times that of the first generation!"

Tang Xiaochuan couldn't help gasping, but still couldn't help asking: "What's the use of this trillion?"

"Of course it is useful. If it is used to calculate weather changes, its calculation will be accurate once it is used maturely; another example is password cracking. In the past, it took a long time for traditional computers to crack passwords, but it can be calculated quickly with quantum computers. ; another example is used on satellites, because the collected data is too much to be processed, and the calculation speed of quantum computers is far higher than that of traditional computers, so it can greatly play the role of its calculation speed in the field of satellites; if it is used to clear traffic, Coordinating routes and more can provide the best routes for locomotives and aircraft!"

"It can also be used in space exploration, drug research and automation. Once the application is mature, it will be a huge advancement in technology!"
