Technological Hegemony

Technological Hegemony Main Text Volume 378 Chapter 378 The corporate world is also making big moves in the national team. In general, the technical indicators of the fourth-generation lithography machine are about 20 times that of the third-generation euV.

This is like the iteration of a horse-drawn carriage and a train. The gap is all-round, and the shorter wavelength is just an appearance. The most amazing innovation is that Star Technology has broken through the physical limit of exposure power.

Ordinary people may not know that from the first generation to the third generation of lithography machines, they are actually the result of miracles.

Take the third-generation euV as an example. Extreme ultraviolet light is a super-powerful electric tiger. A 250w machine consumes as much as 30,000 degrees of electricity every day of work, and it also needs an astonishingly large cooling system to assist.

Insufficient technology, combined power has always been the logic of the development of lithography machines. Before Xingchen Technology, no company has really solved this problem. The ideas of engineers are usually simple and rude. They want to expose more accurately. Increase power, make larger light generators, and polish better lenses.

The reason why Star Technology was able to completely solve the problem is that they did not continue the tradition of overexplosive high-power light sources, but directly used lasers.

In essence, Star Technology's fourth-generation lithography system is a laser scattering platform, which can not only etch silicon wafers, but also develop laser weapons after the process is improved.

Of course, there is still a long technological tree to climb from the laser etching platform to the laser weapon, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

"It's laser scattering! The Chinese used laser technology!"

"Laser etching of 0.5 nanometers? Doesn't that mean that Star Technology has the ability to advance the index of the chip to 0.1 nanometers, or even lower?"

"It's completely unimaginable. If the design side keeps up, they can manufacture as many cores as they need. It is no longer a dream to put a 128-core processor into a mobile phone."

"Isn't that awesome?"

"Star technology is amazing!"

Although most people who eat melons cannot understand the technical parameters reported by Luo Jia, professionals quickly understand the power of this lithography system.

The lithography technology, which has lasted for decades, has been reborn since then. Ultraviolet lithography is about to withdraw from the stage of history, and the future will definitely belong to the laser etching technology of Xingchen Technology.

Chips, the top products that dominate human technology, will reach a new height in terms of craftsmanship.

Chip products of one nanometer, one tenth one nanometer, or even one tenth one nanometer will replace the existing seven nanometer technology, and the power consumption, processing capacity, and heat generation will all be improved by leaps and bounds.

The future has come, Huaxia's science and technology colleagues are cheering for it, but the western world is in deep fear. They never imagined that what Star Technology has produced today is the real fourth-generation technology, and the technology level It is so high that it can almost be described as a miracle.

"I don't understand it at all, but so many people posting barrage, does it mean that it is very powerful?"

As Luo Jia's introduction continued, the people who eat melons didn't know what was going on, and asked about it one after another.

"It's more than amazing, Xingchen Technology is awesome! The fourth-generation lithography technology can be used not only for silicon wafers, but also for the development of more advanced graphene wafers and polymer carbon wafers in the future! Ten years of technology!"

Technology enthusiasts have blown that any great technological invention will not only bring a little change to mankind, but will cause an uproar.

Just like the advent of the Karman vortex street technology, which completely changed the global energy structure, the big dogs in Russia and the Middle East were affected by the sharp drop in oil prices, and suffered extremely heavy losses, and the people were almost poor and crazy.

Spreading from the three eastern provinces to the inland, more and more beautiful Russian girls came to China to work. It is said that the quality is good and the price is cheap, but the big dogs are not so lucky. Since they cannot get visas from China and North America, they Had to continue pouring into Europe.

A huge cultural and religious change is brewing in Europe. The rapid increase in the number of refugees has caused the European authorities to complain. It is too late for them to regret it now. The epic drama of magpies occupying nests and vacating cages for birds is already unstoppable , the future of Europe, everything is full of unknowns.

Luo Jia paused, with a gratified smile on his face.

It was a lonely speech, there was no host on the scene, and the audience couldn't hear the crazy cheers, but Luo Jia was still fully committed, giving full play to his unrestrained imagination, from science to trade disputes to rolling The big history that comes.

"How accurate is the high-precision laser etching?" Luo Jia said with a smile: "It is so precise that even the air cannot tolerate it. During the exposure process, no gas can even intervene. Pure deionized water fills the gaps between chips. This is the famous immersion lithography technology. The Hisilicon Kirin cPu, Intel cPu, and Qualcomm Snapdragon cPu you are using now are all made with immersion lithography technology. "

"Immersion lithography technology is very powerful, but it is also a pity that the patents for this technology are all in the hands of Dutch asmL and Neon Nikon. It is difficult for late-tech companies to do so. Obviously, Nikon and asmL will not The patent was sold to us, so we had to develop our own exposure-fill technology."

"Do you know what is more nonsense? If you want to achieve high-precision isolation filling technology, you first need ultra-precision step-scanning technology to monitor the constantly flowing water molecules!"

"So, we sent another team to work on the scanners..."

Luo Jia talked eloquently. There were many dry things in his speech, and there were also many interesting stories. These stories were not all joyful, but also a lot of sad.

The difficulty of research and development is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In order to bypass Western patents, the lithography team has done countless work. Assuming that Star Technology is a Korean company, it is afraid that the lithography products can be produced two years earlier. Because the West does not implement a technological blockade against South Korea.

In our country, many technologies cannot be bought with money, and many patents will never be authorized to us by the West.

"Okay, I'm here today, not to complain to everyone. Xingchen Technology is a group of tough guys. No matter how hard it is, we can bear it. It's just that some netizens scolded the scientific research community for their incompetence. I really can't accept it. Two words must be said."

"We are different. Neon and South Korea only need to put in 80% of their efforts to engage in scientific research, while we have to pay 1,000%! This is the most real status quo. The scientific research community is full of hostility and malice from the West. , and for many years to come, nothing will change..."

"Okay, this is the end of today's speech. I said so much nonsense, but I actually talked about two things. First, there is no successful case of kneeling and licking a nation in this world, so it is very important to maintain self-confidence. Second, we create The world's first fourth-generation lithography machine has been built, which has laid a foundation for China's semiconductor road."

The conversation suddenly changed, and Luo Jia said in a mysterious tone, "When it comes to the basics, you may have heard that Ali Group took the lead and vowed never to take the opportunity to poach Huawei's talents, and their own talents are willing to go to Huawei. Let it go."

"Maybe you have also heard that many companies in China have jumped into the bottomless pit of the semiconductor industry without hesitation in order to win a breath. Goodix announced that it will be radio frequency. Tencent, also gathered a team, rushed to surround audio solutions."

"As you have seen with your own eyes today, Xingchen Technology is not idle. After solving the problems of passive components and lithography machines, the next step is to make masks, make all Chinese underlying machine language, chip logic, description flow, Execution units, command registers, etc."

"However, these actions are all from the corporate world, China's real big boss. So far, it seems that there has been no action."

After all, Luo Jia laughed, with a mysterious smile.

The people who eat melons have speculated that the real big boss of Huaxia naturally refers to the national team.

The national team is different from the folks. Once the state machine starts, it can't stop, it will crush everything!

What does Luo Jia mean? Could it be that the national team is about to move! ?

These words immediately aroused everyone's great curiosity, but Luo Jia made a fool of himself and said: "Actually, I just got the news that the national team will make a big move, just half an hour before the live broadcast begins."

After all, Luo Jia raised his wrist, glanced at the time on the Huawei smart watch and said, "In ten minutes or so, the official announcement will be made at nine o'clock tonight. Please wait and see."
