Xingyuan Bingyun chip factory.

This factory, which invested more than 30 billion yuan, is also in the industrial park, not far from the reflective material factory. It takes only three or four minutes to take the sightseeing bus in the park.

Led by Nan Yibing, he entered the interior of the chip factory.

Also put on anti-static and dust-free white dustproof clothing.

In a laboratory full of various equipment.

On the shelf of a white workbench, there are many CD-like wafers and unpackaged chip particles placed in transparent square boxes. The corresponding chip manufacturing process is also marked on the box.

Li Xingyang saw these numbers and letters.

130nm

65nm

45nm

28nm

14nm

10nm

And the surface of the transparent box on the far right is marked with 7nm characters, and there is a black lump in the box the size of an adult fingernail.

Li Xingyang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Nan, has your chip factory successfully produced 7nm chips? It only took less than two years, and you have achieved this level?" He pointed his finger Looking at the box on the far right, I was very surprised.

In fact, excluding the time for raising funds, plant construction, and equipment debugging, the time for Nan Yibing to lead people to actually develop chips is at most one year.

What's scary is that she led the R\u0026D staff to immerse themselves in the research, and advanced the chip manufacturing process to 7 nanometers. It took only one year to complete the technology exploration process of some domestic chip companies for more than 30 years, which is incredible.

If it is true, the speed of this technological breakthrough is unmatched in the country, and it can only be described as extremely terrifying.

"7nm is an unspoken statement in the industry. In fact, it is an in-depth optimization based on 14nm chip technology. The smallest lithographic line width is greater than 10nm. Calling it a 10nm chip is a bit misleading. The main The reason is that after finding ways to increase its transistor density, it has achieved the equivalent of an equivalent 7-nanometer chip, so its real name should be 'equivalent 7-nanometer process chip'."

Nan Yibing clasped his hands and explained for Li Xingyang.

"That's pretty good too."

Li Xingyang said: "At present, the most advanced chips in China are said to be equivalent to 3 nanometers, right? There is not much difference from the most advanced foreign chips equivalent to 2 nanometers. You can achieve 7 nanometers within two years. It is an achievement that I can personally compare, and the most used by Xingyuan Group is the 28nm process chip. I don’t think there is any need for you to continue to study. I can place some orders for chips to your factory and realize positive income first. Make some profit and survive."

"Mr. Li, at present, the domestic equivalent 3-nanometer process chips have not yet achieved mass production, and the yield rate is only a little over 1%. The most advanced is actually a 5-nanometer chip, but the yield rate is only about 25%. If I continue to study, With such a low yield rate, I can quickly produce 5-nanometer and 3-nanometer chips, which will make domestic public opinion boil, but it is not necessary. My Xingyuan Bingyun does not need to engage in this kind of image project. "

Nan Yibing said: "As for the 28-nanometer chip orders, our company can undertake part of them, but this domestic market is already seriously saturated, the competition is fierce, and there is not much profit to speak of. If I want to do it, I still want to increase research and development. Continue to attack high-end chips and eat the most lucrative piece of cake.”

"Do high-end chips?"

Li Xingyang looked at her and said, "I don't object to your decision, but the technology of high-end chips is too difficult and requires a lot of funds. Does your company have sufficient research and development funds? Is there enough talented people? How long will it take?" Time can make a breakthrough? Do you have the confidence to grab OEM orders for high-end chips from companies like Huaxin International? Of course I am willing to provide you with some help, but Xingyuan Group’s demand for high-end chips is not very large , You still have to rely on yourself to win the order, it is very difficult in all aspects, you should think about it again."

Li Xingyang euphemistically expressed that she hoped that she would consider carefully or even give up. It is best to start with 28 nanometers, survive, and then break through to the high-end, slowly figure it out, and aim at the high-end from the beginning, which is a bit too ambitious.

"Mr. Li, you know my character very well. No matter what you do, if you want to do it, you must do your best and be the number one in the industry."

Nan Yibing turned his head to look at him, with a firm light in his eyes and said: "You might as well tell you Mr. Li, I plan to lead Xingyuan Bingyun's technicians in the next year and a half to develop Equivalent to high-end chips with a 1-nanometer process, achieve mass production, and the yield rate is not less than 10%. The performance must be the first in the world, and it is necessary to use the most powerful technical strength to win a large number of chip foundry orders, not only that! "

Nan Yibing continued: "I don't need Mr. Li to provide order support, and I don't need to inject funds. There is only one condition, that is, I hope to obtain some high-end space materials through the relationship of Xingyuan Group, such as ultra-high-purity silicon, high- Purity photoresists, some high-purity rare metals, etc. are used in the development of chips. As long as these basic materials meet my needs, I am at least 70% to 80% sure that within a year and a half, an equivalent 1nm process chip."

Look at her confident and sure look.

Li Xingyang was taken aback.

In a year and a half, a chip with an equivalent 1-nanometer process has become the world's number one. How is this possible? You must know that this is not a Chinese cabbage, and the difficulty is not a little bit.

Blind self-confidence, Mr. Nan's ability is good, but the problem of blind self-confidence is getting bigger and bigger.

"President Li, don't you believe me?"

Seeing his disbelief, Nan Yibing smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"

"Bet? What are you betting on?" Li Xingyang asked.

"Just bet on whether I can do it."

Nan Yibing smiled and said: "If my company makes a 1nm chip in the next year and a half, you have to agree to one condition and agree to lend me something on your body; if I can't do it, what do you want? Ask for anything, as punishment for talking big about me."

"Lend me something on my body, what do you want to borrow?"

Li Xingyang was puzzled and didn't know what her intentions were. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Nan, let's forget about this gamble. It doesn't matter if it takes one and a half years, or two or three years, as long as the chip can be made, I believe You should be able to do it."

"No! The two of us have to take a gamble, otherwise I don't have the motivation to go all out. I'm going to be 42 this year, and I don't have so much time. Before I turn 44, I want to see if my life has changed. hope!"

Nan Yibing suddenly approached with two steps, stretched out his hand to hold Li Xingyang's clothes, and said into his eyes.

What flickered in her eyes was a kind of anxiety and urgency that was difficult to hide, as well as a kind of longing that could not be spoken.

"Change, Mr. Nan, what do you want to change?"

Li Xingyang asked secretly, full of doubts in his heart, but looking at her like this, asking directly would definitely yield no results. As for this bet, Li Xingyang could vaguely see that Nan Yibing didn't want to bet against him, but rather It's a bet with herself, otherwise she doesn't need to be so eager for things that can be done slowly.

"How about it, my handsome boss? How about just taking a gamble for me?"

Nan Yibing let go of his clothes and continued to ask.

"this……"

"What are you talking about, a big man? Even if you lose, you can't lose anything. Anyway, it's settled. You can go. I'm going to work overtime now."

Nan Yi Bing said.

Immediately, Li Xingyang left the factory in a daze.

in the lab.

Calling up the monitoring screen through the computer, watching Li Xingyang's back gradually go away.

Nan Yibing sat on the office chair, narrowed his eyes, and calmed down the turmoil in his heart.

In fact, she is not sure enough about this gamble, at most it is 50-50, but she did put tremendous pressure on herself through this method, trying to force her full potential, and use the next Crazy work to replace the growing anxiety and suffering in the heart.

She murmured to herself:

"The loan owed to the bank is estimated to exceed 50 billion soon, but there is no ability to repay it. The bank is only willing to continue lending because of the face of Xingyuan Group."

"There is still a certain gap in talents, and a group of high-level chip talents must be recruited with high salaries."

"However, there are also advantages. The world's most sophisticated EUV lithography machine is tuned in my factory. The world's highest purity silicon wafers, rare metal materials, photoresists, etc. can be used immediately. , In terms of material equipment and other hardware, we already have the world's first-class chip development conditions, and the rest is just human ingenuity, and my team will not be inferior to anyone in this regard!"

"One and a half years is a bit tight. I have to stay in the factory and work overtime every day. And I have to win! I have to convince the handsome boss and borrow things from him. I have a chance. For the future Half my life has been more exciting, from this moment on, I will go all out!"

Nan Yibing opened his eyes, his eyes were burning with fierce fighting spirit, then he cheered up and continued to devote himself to his work.
