Technological power starts with upgrading lenses
Chapter 139 Maximum Efficiency
Chip design generally uses EDA software, which can complete the design of hundreds of millions or billions of transistors through code.
And with this plotter, you don’t even have to write code.
The front-end design of a chip can be simply understood as the circuit logic design of a single transistor. It is like a single-family house in a city. The structure of the house determines its function.
This generally does not save time, but rather tests the engineer's design ability. A good engineer can design a house with the most reasonable structure, while an inferior one is full of shortcomings, or can only design a certain type of house.
Because cmos has fewer types of transistors, the front-end design workload is less.
Kang Chi's copy from the Jiangsu Microelectronics Institute last time can be used directly after slight improvements.
But the physical design diagram of the backend is much more complicated.
This requires writing a lot of code to continuously debug the layout of billions of transistors to design a reasonably laid out super city.
But this drawing machine can directly and fully automatically complete the structural arrangement and planning layout based on the scope drawn by Kangchi and the definition of the system architecture!
It's like Kangchi gave it several house design drawings, and then marked an area and told it that I wanted to take pictures of an industrial area here. As a result, it automatically generated an industrial area with a reasonable layout.
After that, we will also take the initiative to conduct simulation verification and intimately remind you where and how large residential areas and commercial areas should be photographed.
With it, designing chips is almost like playing a game.
Even a person who doesn't understand chip design at all can probably get started with back-end design after a week of training and study.
At this moment Kang Chi just wanted to say one thing,
Damn it,
Awesome!
If this thing is taken out, it will directly destroy EDA and major chip design companies!
At least 90% of chip back-end designers will be unemployed, and the remaining wages will also be significantly reduced!
It turns out that holographic projection technology is just a bonus.
The real power of this design machine is the design program inside!
With the help of this intelligent design system, Kangchi completed the design of a 20-million-pixel CMOS chip in just one day.
The efficiency is simply frightening.
After completing the chip design, Kang Chi directly called Dong Jianyuan.
At this time, Dong Jianyuan happened to be eating at home. When he saw the call from Kang Chi, he immediately put down his chopsticks and went to the study to answer the phone.
Kang Chi rarely contacted him, and every time he contacted him, there would be something big.
"Mr. Kang? It's me."
"Well, I have something I want you to do for me." Kang Chi skipped the small talk and got to the point, "Make me a mask for a chip. The sooner the better, just quote the normal price."
"It's just a mask? No need for tape-out?"
"No need, I can do it myself."
Dong Jianyuan's eyes widened immediately, and he asked eagerly: "Have you built the EUV lithography machine?"
"Are you going to build a tractor?"
"..."
Dong Jianyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay... then you can send me the GDSII file and I will arrange it as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll trouble you then."
"It's okay... Well, can I ask you a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"If you build an EUV lithography machine, sell a few to our Shanghai Silicon Industry first."
"No problem, but I have to satisfy my own needs before I sell it to anyone else. I will give priority to you when the time comes."
"That's enough!"
With Kang Chi's promise, Dong Jianyuan was immediately relieved.
Since last time Kangchi helped Chang Chunguang Institute get the EUV light source, it is no secret that he is developing EUV lithography machines, but some people are optimistic about it and some are not.
Dong Jianyuan naturally belongs to the optimistic category.
Although Kang Chi's answer made him a little disappointed,
But Kangchi is right, the photolithography machine is not a tractor.
It's only been two or three months since he started, so it's only normal that he hasn't finished it yet.
It's abnormal when it's done.
As for his own tape-out, I guess Kangchi got a photolithography machine from somewhere and used it for reverse research...
After finishing the call with Dong Jianyuan, Kang Chi imported the GDSII file of the chip into the computer through the wifi transmission function of the plotter, and finally encrypted it and sent it to Dong Jianyuan.
After finishing this matter, Kangchi began to study another function of it:
Physical scan modeling!
This function is not unusual. Many mobile phone programs can use the cooperation of cameras and gyroscopes to take a picture of an object and generate a three-dimensional model, and even have textures directly.
However, this function is currently mainly used for entertainment.
Not to mention something as sophisticated as industrial design, even game modeling is not very useful...
Because the model generated by scanning in this way has too many points, lines and surfaces, and the volume is very large.
If it is used directly to make games, the size of the game can be imagined...
So it has to be optimized,
But optimizing it is more troublesome than doing it directly.
Just like writing a novel using the voice input method, it may be fast and enjoyable when speaking, but when you modify it later, you will find that it is not as fast as typing on the keyboard directly.
Kangchi didn’t try this feature when it came up because it didn’t have much expectations for it.
But after these two days of use, Kangchi no longer dared to underestimate the functionality of this plotter.
He randomly removed a part from the camera, then according to the prompts, placed it in the projection area and rotated it several times. Finally, he changed the handshake position and re-rotated the sample.
Soon, the plotter made a beep sound,
A three-dimensional three-dimensional part pops up.
Kang Chi only took one glance and was basically sure that this function was really useful!
Because it's so simple!
There are no redundant points, lines or surfaces, and the level of simplification can also be adjusted.
If it is adjusted to the highest setting, even the frosted undulations on the surface of the parts will have a line structure.
If it is adjusted lower, it is the most suitable basic model.
Just check and adjust its various parameters, and the drawing of a part is basically completed.
At this time Kang Chi wanted to add another sentence,
Damn it,
Awesome!
With this function, it will be much more convenient to convert the upgraded items into blueprints in the future.
Of course, for technologies like photolithography machines, which are obtained by analyzing graphics cards, you still have to draw the drawings yourself without creating a physical object.
In addition, if it is particularly complex, precise and small, it is not suitable.
Maybe the time required to dismantle the parts would be enough to draw the blueprint.
Although there are certain limitations, with the help of the plotting machine, Kangchi's work efficiency is still directly maximized, and the speed of drawings production is faster than a week.
While steadily advancing the lithography machine project, Kangchi completed all the camera drawings in just five days and sent them to He Yongbin of the camera R\u0026D department.
