Movie black technology

"Let me take a look!"

Hearing the news, Chen Shen, Academician Liu and others immediately went to the inspectors.

The exported microscopic image is being displayed on the computer, and there is nothing else in the image, just carbon nanotubes that look exactly the same.

These extremely tiny carbon nanotubes are like bricks, stacked on the substrate according to the previously set shape, forming a special but regular geometric pattern.

Chen Shen looked at this image. Although he didn't know whether it was in line with the design plan of Academician Liu's team, he felt that there should be no problems in this experiment through the pattern of the image composed of carbon nanotubes on the substrate.

The result was just as he expected.

After seeing the video, Academician Liu first cheered up with others, and then buried himself in the video, observed for a long time, and announced in a passionate voice: "From the current comparison results, there is no error in the assembly of carbon nanotubes. It is exactly the same as our previous design plan!"

Crash!

Everyone else at the scene immediately applauded.

"It's really been soaked!" Deng Ziming stood in the crowd, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt that his heart was surging.

Even he, an authority on NDA nanotechnology, felt that the results achieved this time were too exciting.

Who would have thought before that the core process of the chip could actually pass the design in advance, and then throw it into a pile of solution and soak it?

Such technological progress had not even dared to be imagined by him before.

What he couldn't even imagine was that this experiment was successful once!

This shows that this technical idea is different from other nascent technologies, and its maturity is now very high.

As mentioned before, the success of this experiment means that the problem of industrialization is no longer a big one.

At this time, everyone's eyes were unconsciously placed on the plasma etching machine at the other end of the venue, and another substrate had already been placed inside for processing.

"If there is no problem with the experiment over there, then we will overcome the two most critical processes of the carbon-based chip." Chen Shen said softly as everyone moved to the etching machine.

Academician Liu heard it and said softly: "Indeed, the two most critical processes for carbon-based chips are the purification and assembly of carbon nanotubes, and the processing of nanopatterns..."

If the carbon-based chip is regarded as a house, then the purification and assembly of carbon nanotubes is to select the appropriate bricks and then use them to build a house, while the processing of nano-patterns is equivalent to installing water and electricity for the house.

This is the key to whether the chip can form a transistor. If it cannot be done, no matter how many carbon nanotubes are stacked together, it is just carbon nanotubes, and there is no way to calculate without forming the source and drain.

Previously, nano-pattern processing was done by photolithography machines. If they can bypass the photolithography process through the ideas and solutions provided by Chen Shen, then the production process of carbon-based chips can be said to be completely in their hands.

Everyone stood in a group in front of the etching machine, feeling their hearts beating a little faster, as if they were waiting for the verdict of fate.

Finally, the substrate inside was automatically sent out of the machine after processing, and the engineers immediately stepped forward to take out the substrate.

"Hurry up, send it to the testing area, and we'll see the results right away!" Academician Liu said impatiently, and he followed closely behind the engineer who sent the test, like a shepherd driving sheep.

The substrate was sent to the inspection table after simple processing, and the microscopic image was displayed on the computer, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

Everyone is staring at the computer screen, as long as the etching pattern they designed is detected on it, then the next step will be successful together.

Chen Shen looked at the screen on the ground. In contrast, Academician Liu and Professor Deng Ziming were much more nervous than him, the provider of the technology. The two breathed heavily as if they had just run a kilometer.

Soon, the test results are displayed on the screen.

Academician Liu pushed aside the engineer who was operating, and was the first to lean in front of the screen to watch, followed by Professor Deng Ziming, and Chen Shen was squeezed into the third place. The others could only stand behind and stretch their necks to find a suitable angle.

The image on the screen shows that there are many figures of different sizes or dots or lines on the substrate. If you look at these figures with the naked eye, you can't see them at all. Their specific shapes can only be seen under the instrument.

These locations are used to place the special metals needed to build the source and drain.

"how is it going?"

The researchers huddled in the back stretched their necks, and couldn't see the details on the screen, so they could only come out and ask.

Academician Liu looked at the sizes of the graphics that were automatically measured on the screen, and made a comparison himself. After confirming that it was consistent with the size they designed, he patted his chest, turned his head and announced: "No problem, our printing The machine successfully defined the pattern on the substrate, and processed a perfect nano-pattern under the treatment of the ion etching machine!"

"Everyone's hard work day and night during this time has not been in vain!"

After speaking, Academician Liu stepped aside to give the researchers behind him a chance to observe, and he pulled Chen Shen aside by himself.

"How did you come up with this plan? Professor Deng and I have been researching carbon-based integrated circuits for decades, and we haven't even touched your ass!" Academician Liu looked at Chen Shen, and he was already shocked by him. people.

He and others have been researching things for decades, and it turns out that Chen Shen, who seems to have nothing to do with carbon-based chips, came up with a mature solution in a very short time. surprise.

To make an immature analogy, this is like a doctor of literature who suddenly published a grand unified theory. How can it not be shocking?

Chen Shen said calmly: "It's just that I came up with this idea and inspiration by chance."

Although he can say that he has achieved success and fame now, his mentality has not inflated. He clearly knows that this achievement is systematic, not his.

Although he also has the strength to make various modifications to the results of the system, he is standing on the shoulders of giants to do things after all.

Academician Liu didn't know what he was thinking, and he still regarded him as being modest, "If you have ideas and inspiration, you must have the ability!"

"The 14nm solution you designed is now basically determined to be a feasible mass production solution. Are you interested in continuing to go on the road of carbon-based chips in the future? If you have you, maybe carbon-based chips The craftsmanship can be doubled next year!"

Chen Shen shook his head quickly. This is not growing food. How can it be a good thing to double every year? If this is the case, silicon-based chips will not be bad-mouthed every year.

"The mass production of 14nm carbon-based chips is enough for the time being, and with the basis of the 14nm solution, it is not difficult to improve the process to produce chips with a lower process, so I may not focus on this anymore. .”

Academician Liu was a little disappointed, "Yes, there should be a lot of things on the side of Scarlet Storm."

Chen Shen touched his head, wanting to say that there is nothing wrong with Crimson Storm, but after thinking about it, he should continue to maintain this misunderstanding.

Otherwise, he, the technical founder, is at ease, how can this academician work in the research institute with peace of mind?
