Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1350 New Mission

The capacity of the flash memory chip produced by Duan Yun before is only 512 KB, and the newly developed NAND flash memory chip has just reached the capacity of 1MB. If you want to make a 16MB chip, it is estimated that it will take at least two generations of development, and at least you need to master it. 0.5 micron process production technology, it is possible to achieve this goal.

In fact, according to the chip development history of later generations, in 1991, Toshiba released the world's first 4MB NAND flash memory. In 1992, Intel Corporation launched the second-generation FFS2 model, 2MB flash memory. It was not until 8 that Intel launched the 1993MB NAND flash memory. And 16MB of NOR Flash flash memory, and the flash memory chip at this time can meet the requirements for making MP32 players.

Duan Yun's chip factory wanted to achieve cornering overtaking. It was very difficult to develop this kind of memory before 93, but now Duan Yun is also moving towards this goal step by step. This is not due to his own company alone. The goal that can be achieved, and this time to restart the Shenzhen Industrial Park and conduct in-depth cooperation with domestic counterparts is Duan Yun's next stage of layout.

Although it is very difficult to develop MP3 players, once Duan Yun can really make this product, it will become a cross-generation product, and Tianyin Electronics Factory will also have the opportunity to become a world-class enterprise.

"Manager Duan, if the NAND flash memory chip is successfully developed this time, what is the next step for our R&D center? Should we develop new products based on the three-micron process?" Huang Lingyi asked.

Huang Lingyi is definitely a workaholic. Although she is over 10 years old, her physical strength and energy are not inferior to young people. She works about [-] hours a day, and even rarely rests on Sundays. The prestige of the research and development center is quite high, not just because of her qualifications.

"It seems that you are very confident in the trial production of the new chip." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"We have tested this kind of chip through simulation software before, and it will definitely run." Huang Lingyi looked confident, and then said: "This is also thanks to Master Jiang and his team. The software is really good. The set of software used is much easier to use, without them, this new chip would not have been designed at all.”

"Yeah, it's not easy to design a chip. It requires the coordination of all departments, and there can't be any shortcomings." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Actually, I plan to arrange it for you after the trial production of the new chip is successful. It's a mission, but since you asked, I'll tell you briefly..."

"What mission?" Huang Lingyi's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she asked quickly.

"This time, I plan to ask you to develop a NAND chip based on a one-micron process and a capacity of 2MB. If the deadline is..." Duan Yun thought for a while, and then said: "Let's set it to one and a half years."

The reason why Duan Yun limited the time limit to one and a half years is also very simple, that is, to formulate the research and development progress of new chips according to the Moore cycle.

According to Moore's Law, the performance of the chip will double every 18 months, and the price will also double. Although this is not a serious scientific law, the development of the chip field strictly follows this law.

In fact, if countries such as Europe, America and Japan are faced with great market competition pressure, they will also shorten the design of the chip. Sometimes the design and trial production of the entire chip can be completed in one year, but if the market competition pressure is small Under normal circumstances, it usually takes two years to complete the product update.

At present, Duan Yun belongs to the role of a chaser. He very much hopes that his R&D team can develop new products in the fastest time. However, the R&D work must follow certain scientific laws, haste makes waste, and good products take time. Polished, once the design goes wrong, it often brings disastrous consequences to a company.

"Okay, I will make a work schedule later, and arrange the tasks in a meeting." Huang Lingyi said.

In fact, the task this time is much simpler than when designing a NAND chip for the first time. The main reason is that now there is a complete NAND chip framework. Some extensions and expansions on the basic framework of the chip will be much more efficient.

"You have worked very hard in the past six months or so. If the trial production of the new chip is successful, in addition to fulfilling the bonus I promised to you before, I will also arrange about 10 days of vacation for you to relax temporarily. If I go on a trip, I will reimburse all travel expenses, and work will be more efficient by combining work and rest," Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Duan." Huang Lingyi said gratefully.

"I should be thankful. Without your hard work, our company would not be able to achieve today's results." Duan Yun said.

Afterwards, Duan Yun chatted with Huang Lingyi for a few more words, and then left the R&D center.

In the next few days, Duan Yun sent invitation letters to more than 20 chip and integrated circuit companies across the country, inviting the leaders and technical personnel of these companies to come to Telling Electronics for investigation and study.

Generally speaking, when state-owned enterprises face private enterprises, they always have a sense of superiority. However, Tianyin Group now has the most advanced three-micron process chip technology in China, and can be said to be the most advanced chip manufacturer in China. Based on this, Tianyin Electronics is definitely qualified to be this "teacher" role.

And on the other hand, Tianyin Group is also the most profitable chip company in China, with a net profit of several hundred million yuan a year, which is beyond the reach of all peer companies. In addition, Duan Yun and Tianyin Group are extremely well-known in China, so As long as he is willing to open the company for domestic counterparts to visit, it will definitely arouse the interest of many people.

In fact it is.

When these domestic enterprises get.After the invitation sent by Tianyin Group, they responded immediately, expressing their willingness to come to Duan Yun's factory to visit and study.

During this period, Duan Yun also frequently appeared in radio and TV talk shows. In these talk shows, Duan Yun talked about how to revitalize the national chip industry and the importance of developing the chip industry to the country. Question, Duan Yun's eloquence is very good, he knows how to mobilize the audience's national pride and patriotism.

Duan Yun tried to use public opinion to make Chinese people pay attention to the development of the domestic chip industry, so that they can realize the current difficulties and crises facing the domestic chip industry.
