"What technology?" Xu You asked.

"EDA software technology. Because designing chips requires the use of EDA tools. At present, the mainstream EDA software on the market has already imposed a ban on us. If we use their software to design chips, we will definitely face the risk of infringement .”

In the entire chip industry chain, there are dozens of major technologies involved.

The chip design EDA tool is the first item in the chip industry chain.

EDA stands for Electronic Design Automation.

Through computer assistance, to complete the process design of the chip.

It can be said that in order to complete the independent chip industrialization, EDA is the difficulty we must overcome.

In this field, we are still in the developing stage and cannot complete the full process coverage of EDA.

"Including materials, equipment, chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, etc., we either found a partner to cooperate with, or carried out research and development independently. Even if the technology is still behind the current level of the West One or two generations, but it is not satisfactory, enough to produce some mid-range models. Only EDA, we absolutely can't get around it."

"Has the problem with the lithography machine been solved?" Hu Shucheng asked.

"According to the internal information I got, our current domestic lithography machine is already capable of trial production of 14nm chips, but it has not passed the acceptance inspection, and the process cannot be said to be so mature, and it has not been officially announced. But this is already very good, and Fulong Technology is also willing to be a guinea pig, preparing to use this lithography machine to mass-produce our self-designed chips."

"14nm...is several generations behind the West."

"That's right, now that the Western 5nm process is mature, and we are developing 3nm chips, even if we succeed in research, we will be at least two generations behind them. But anyway, this is a very difficult breakthrough. If we It can optimize the performance of the chip to the best, and 14nm is not too weak. Daily use, and some games that do not require such high configuration, such as Heroes of Glory, can also run smoothly."

"It's true. The current mobile phone chips generally have excess performance, and they basically don't need such powerful performance at ordinary times."

"In addition, we have obvious advantages in terms of mobile phone battery life. Our goal is that the next mobile phone can gain a firm foothold in the low-end market. From high-end to low-end, for us It is also very difficult, but this is the first step of an independent industrial chain. After this difficulty is overcome, the next road will be much easier."

It is not easy for a mobile phone that does not rely on Western technology to achieve such a level.

At this time, Xu You, one of the shareholders of Fulong Technology, also made a decision.

"Wen Kun, I will pay more attention to EDA tools."

With the identity of a shareholder, Xu You is not only helping his friends, but also contributing to his own company.

"Great, Xu You, I feel relieved with your words. But Xu You, you have so much work to do, are you really sure, do you still have time to study EDA tools?"

Although EDA is just a piece of software, there are many processes involved in it, and it cannot be researched casually.

"Mr. Lu Xun said that time is like water in a sponge, there will always be a squeeze."

"Mr. Lu Xun said this? Wait, it seems that he really said it." Luo Wenkun laughed.

In fact, Xu You knew in his heart that the main technology of EDA is the design, simulation and verification of circuits.

If Xu You can make good use of his brain simulation skills, it is not impossible to complete the production of a new set of EDA software in a relatively short period of time.

Xu You really wants to see a mobile phone completely produced by our own technology.

At the end of the meal, most of the dishes were almost eaten.

Only Lou Song's "Potato Art" was somewhat neglected.

No matter in terms of appearance or taste, this dish is very unsatisfactory.

Even Lou Song himself couldn't last a few mouthfuls, and became a failure on the dinner table.

After the meal, everyone took the initiative to clear the table, instead of leaving all the housework to Xu You and Lu Zhiyao.

"Old Hu, you can stay here tonight." Xu You said.

"No, I have to go back to Jihang soon, and I have already made appointments with a few classmates, so I won't bother you."

Hu Shucheng insisted on leaving, and Xu You no longer forced him to stay.

After sending everyone off, only Xu You and Lu Zhiyao were left in the house.

At the party just now, the atmosphere has always been very good.

Lu Zhiyao also liked Xu You's few friends very much.

However, Lu Zhiyao was only a senior student when everyone had achieved some success.

In comparison, Lu Zhiyao did look a little ordinary.

This made Lu Zhiyao feel a little inferior.

"Compared to you, am I too bad?"

Hearing Lu Zhiyao's sudden question, Xu You didn't expect it either.

"Lou Song and Lin Shi have published several papers, Luo Wenkun has become the chairman of a large company, and Hu Shucheng has become an engineer of aerospace systems. Only I am still in my senior year, and I haven't even graduated from a bachelor's degree."

Hearing Lu Zhiyao's emotion, Xu You subconsciously wanted to say that they are all very rare geniuses, so there is no need to compare with them.

But Xu You thought about it again, it was not appropriate to say that.

There is a helpless feeling of "your ability is not as good as them, just accept this fact".

After Xu You thought about it quickly, he said:

"Don't you usually think very clearly, why can't you suddenly think about it this time? I was in a bad mood at the time. When you persuaded me, I felt that you are the most understanding person in the world."

"The authorities are obsessed. You can persuade others, but you can't persuade yourself." Lu Zhiyao said in a low voice.

Xu You, who has a high emotional intelligence, knows that he needs to become Lu Zhiyao's psychological mentor at this time.

"Look at just now, Lou Song made the dishes like this, and he still enjoyed eating. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Lou Song's cooking skills are as bad as his level of telling jokes." Luo Wenkun is extremely flamboyant, when we were training in Wujing, he actually came wearing a big gold chain and a small watch."

Hearing Xu You's revelation, Lu Zhiyao seemed suddenly interested.

"anything else?"

Xu Youxin said that he is usually not someone who speaks ill of others behind their backs.

This time, in order to make Lu Zhiyao happy, he went all out, and it will not be an example in the future.

"When Lin Shi was in high school, she was dubbed the Queen of Physics. I quite like this title. Her notebooks all read The-Physics-Queen. Like Hu Shucheng's, it's even more outrageous..."
