Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

Teacher Xiao Zhao received the interview in person. The interview contained no reflections or testimonials, but just the hard stuff.

"Can I try the software?" Tristan spoke a little unconfidently, but his expression was completely different when he got the keyboard.

He followed the English instructions one by one.

Helen would like to know more about what goes on behind the scenes of the software. Sorry, these are not within the scope of Mr. Zhao’s services.

Fierro and Hayes, who still knew some professional knowledge, watched Tristan operate the software.

"Oh God!"

"Incredible!"

"Tristan, you are a gifted man!"

Zhao Guoqing did not hesitate to praise him. It was the first time that he could operate the software so skillfully with just one manual. This was the first time he had seen it.

"Is this the power circuit chip?"

Tristan turned around and smiled: "You are also a very talented person!"

Logical language description, verification, physical diagram layout, detection, clock detection...

Two hours, just two hours, Tristan designed a small power management chip. This speed...

Tristan said: "Yes, it's better than I imagined. However, the verification is still simplified. It only verifies the main circuit and branch circuits separately. If the main circuit and branch circuits can be verified together, a lot of errors can be avoided!"

Zhao Guoqing smiled and did not explain. He had no obligation to teach. What Tristan could think of, how could Teacher Zhao not think of it. Although it was limited by computer computing power and could not be widely used for calculations, he chose an efficient algorithm. This shortcoming can be made up for.

The concept of structured design is not only applicable to software, but also meaningful to the design of hardware.

Tristan added: "Is this software publicly available? Can we buy it?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and said: "Of course, we are in the process of applying for export. It will not be long before Xintu EDA software can meet our American friends!"

Of course, this also includes the 76 software patents that Wison International is entrusting to register for Xintu.

"I mean, can I take a copy back with me!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "Our teaching version of EDA software is free and open to everyone!"

"..."

Xu Guangyuan and Yang Bochao, who were following Zhao Guoqing, remained silent. When they returned to Zhao Guoqing's office, Xu Guangyuan said: "Director Zhao, there is currently no systematic EDA software abroad. We provide American EDA software to help them improve their chip design level. Then …”

Zhao Guoqing frowned slightly. This may be what many people think.

Because of the lack of information, they did not know that EDA software had become the most popular software in the West a few years ago, and their assembly version of the first-generation Vitilon product would be released next year.

When they design chips, they just use several EDA software combinations with different functions to design.

It’s not that there is no such technology. In fact, in terms of talent training for chip design in the United States, it was divided into front-end logical design and back-end physical design as early as three years ago. The openness of Xintu EDA software really has little impact.

It was only half a year ahead of schedule, and there was a time lag with Western EDA software. As for whether the software could be sold, Zhao Guoqing had no idea.

"Guangyuan, please be open-minded. If Xintu EDA software enters the international market, it may be able to stimulate Western chip design in a short period of time.

But it also gives us an opportunity to participate in the head design of the semiconductor industry chain. Besides, opening the core EDA software does not mean opening up all our technologies. We maintain our technological leadership. "

FinFET fin field effect transistor semiconductor structure, copper connection process, multiple exposure technology, and even the end of GAAFET gate field effect semiconductor structure are the secrets that 101 needs to keep tight.

The two people did not speak. They seemed to be deep in thought and had no experience. It was indeed a bit difficult for them to understand Teacher Xiao Zhao's thoughts. In the eyes of many people, EDA software has risen to the level of strategy. Even in the General Staff, it is very controversial.

The Science and Technology Commission also sent a team of experts to the United States to inspect their EDA software...

Teacher Xiao Zhao also fell into deep thought. Either he thought that his own things could not keep up with foreign ones, so he dragged everything out, and then he regarded some things as good things and was unwilling to make them public.

Both extremes are very harmful.

Zhao Guoqing thought for a while and called Director Liu Qing.

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Liu, this may be our last chance to join the world's entire semiconductor industry chain. EDA software allows us to participate in the most advanced foreign process technology. This is inseparable at all!"

Zhao Guoqing could hear Director Liu Qing sighing and saying: "National Day, aren't we already ahead in the chip manufacturing process? Now we have EDA software and the world's most advanced wafer fabs..."

"..."

Director Liu Qing's words stunned Zhao Guoqing. Zhao Guoqing thought for a moment and then said: "Foreign krypton fluoride excimer laser lithography machines have begun mass production, and their process will soon make breakthroughs..."

Liu Qing said: "Isn't Institute 101 also studying the krypton fluoride excimer laser light source? I heard reports that the progress is very fast!"

"..."

"Director Liu, the lithography machine is not a light source!"

Liu Qing said: "Is the system stable on the workbench? Professor Guo Yishou, Professor He Zhenhua and others reported that they have conquered the automatic compensation system and have made breakthroughs in laser precision measurement!"

“We don’t have the right lenses for deep UV!”

"The Shanghai Institute of Optics said they found an organic polymer material that can refract deep ultraviolet light!"

"..."

What Director Liu Qing said made Zhao Guoqing confused. This...

Zhao Guoqing said: "Director Liu, let me think about it, the workbench can break through, the light source can break through, the lens can break through, cleaning and etching can break through, what else can we not break through?"

Liu Qing said: "Then I have to ask you! By the way, Tsinghua University Microelectronics has just invented a water-insoluble polymer photoresist..."

Don't tell me that they can perform immersion lithography!

Teacher Xiao Zhao doubted himself a little. Was he frightened by America's far lead in the next forty years and subconsciously wanted to get involved? Or was there a chance for a comeback from now on?

Liu Qing then said: "National Day, please don't worry about this matter for now. The country can relax the export ban on EDA software, but it must meet the right conditions. If they can't block us, let's open it to them! By the way, National Day, then When helping American journalists go out of customs, the contraband they brought had been confiscated!"

"..."

"Um!"

Zhao Guoqing hung up the phone. He needed to think carefully whether he should hide it or not!
