From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 262 The Disappointed Academic Circle
At three o'clock, the meeting started on time.

There are nine people in their group, including Lin Xiao, there are four researchers, and the rest are mainly assistant researchers and intern researchers.

Compared with the research teams of some other materials, the number of this staff is obviously still too low.

Of course, for a research group, quantity is not important, but quality is more important. Sometimes a genius idea can push the research progress to the end.

And the people in their group, of course, belong to the quality-oriented group.

Needless to say, Lin Xiao is the one who cheated. Zhao Sheng, who Lin Xiao called before, is not only a brain in computational materials science, but also a master in experiments, and is very famous in China.

As for the other two researchers, one of them is also a big cow in computing materials, while the other researcher is a big cow in experiments.

If it wasn't for these three experts, it would probably take a while for Lin Xiao to determine the crystal structure so quickly.

In the conference room, Lin Xiao re-used the software on the big screen to show the diffraction image of the silicon crystal to X-rays under the irradiation of X-rays. The light source of X-rays is a plane wave, which passes through the lens After that, a square projection is finally formed on another plane. This is the function of this lens, which can limit the X-ray irradiation range within a square.

This is very effective for the production speed of the chip. After all, the current chips are square, which is also to improve the utilization rate of the wafer. Using every piece of this circle, the chip becomes a square.

The radiation range of X-rays becomes a square, which is more convenient when processing silicon wafers. At that time, with the strong efficiency of X-rays, the speed of processing chips will also be greatly improved. Asmer's EUV The lithography machine can process two hundred silicon wafers per hour, almost three polysilicon wafers per minute.

If calculated by the area of ​​Apple’s A15 chip, if the loss of silicon wafer scraps is ignored, a single silicon wafer can produce 650 A15 chips, 13 chips can be produced in one hour, and more than 300 million chips can be produced in a day.

However, if an X light source is used, the number of silicon wafers processed per hour may easily reach more than 4, and maybe [-].

This is the advantage of their X-ray source once it is used in mass production.

Then, Lin Xiao adjusted the parameters so that the above crystal lens began to rotate, and the X-rays also began to change accordingly, and the irradiation range began to change. At 57.5 degrees, the irradiation range was the same as the light source. When it exceeded 57.5 degrees When , the irradiation range starts to converge and condense, until the incident angle changes to 90 degrees vertically, it has become a point.

Of course, this is what can be seen in computer simulations. In fact, X-rays are invisible light.

At this time, the X-rays condensed into one point are so powerful that if you take a photo, you can probably get a random cancer buff directly, which is probably similar to the cancer case caused by a nuclear power plant explosion in the neighboring island country.

"awesome!"

Seeing the above results, everyone present cheered.

They did not doubt the authenticity of this image, because when Lin Xiao took out his wave coherent superposition equations, they did not doubt that they would fail.

When Lin Xiao told them the purpose of the experiment, they all felt that they had fallen into a pit, using diffraction to control the enlargement and reduction of X-rays?
Even if Lin Xiao said that he wanted to prove the existence and smoothness of the NS equation solution, they believed it, but if you want to do this, how much data do you have to process?
However, until Lin Xiao took out the thing he named Lin's wave coherent superposition equations and introduced them to them, they believed it completely—of course, because of the confidentiality of the wave coherent superposition equations , before Lin Xiao told them the equation, he had already signed a non-disclosure agreement. As for the background check, he had already gone through a more stringent background check before joining the Dingguang Research Institute, so there is no need to worry about leaks.

In short, the crystal structure they designed has been successful.

Looking back on the hardships of the process... well, well, it seems that there is no hardship.

Such a major breakthrough was achieved in one and a half months, which was impossible in the projects they participated in before.

And in this month, they also saw how strong Lin Xiao's mathematical ability is. To build this structure, mathematical calculation is the most troublesome part. If a few of them come, I am afraid that even with Lin Xiao's formula, it will take them an unknown amount of time to figure out this structure.

Looking at Lin Xiao's young face, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. No wonder he became the director of such a key research institute at such a young age, and he deserves so much money from the country.

However, Lin Xiao didn't think too much. After the demonstration, he looked at the people present and said, "Okay, let's think about it now, how should we make it."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the people present immediately began to think.

Ordinary lenses do not need to consider production issues, only need to consider polishing issues, but the lens they need requires X-rays to penetrate directly into it.

Moreover, the energy of X-rays is very strong, and the temperature of the object after irradiation will also be increased. This requires that the thermal expansion coefficient of the material they designed is low enough. Of course, they have already considered this point. According to simulation calculations, their The thermal expansion coefficient of the material is very low, and there will be no problem even if it is exposed to X-rays for a long time.

However, these require a more perfect production process, and it is useless if they cannot be produced.

Of course, calculated in this way, the production cost of their lens will probably be much higher than the lens of the EUV lithography machine. Of course, they only need one piece, while the EUV lithography machine needs more than a dozen. So no matter how you calculate it, it is more convenient for them.

Everyone was thinking, and Lin Xiao was also thinking.

How to produce a new material from nothing is undoubtedly very complicated, and although they now know the crystal structure, at least not completely 'nothing', it is still very difficult to actually create it , which requires reference to various knowledge of materials science and chemistry, as well as knowledge of condensed matter.

No matter what, as long as it does not involve the use of weak or strong interaction science fiction materials, the materials for humans on earth are still limited to electromagnetic interaction materials.

So, that is the relationship between electrons.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, have any papers on Lin's silicon-bonding mechanism appeared? Or are they not found?"

"Lin's silicon-bonding mechanism? For this...it doesn't seem to exist." Zhao Sheng said.

"do not have it?"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

Lin's silicon bonding mechanism is the bonding mechanism of silicon found based on his Lin's titanium bonding mechanism and research methods.

This is also a default thing in the academic world. In terms of naming, all such bonding mechanisms found according to his method must be named Lin's bonding mechanism.

Although he did not research this thing himself, as No.1, he can naturally enjoy this kind of treatment, and it is also convenient for the academic circle to call it. Otherwise, in the future, a Zhang San carbon bonding mechanism, a Li The four-silicon bonding mechanism is obviously challenging the memory of scientists.

However, not every element has found this bonding mechanism, but only some elements have found it. For example, the bonding mechanism of silicon has not been found yet.

This is not because there is a certain problem in the mechanism of Lin's Chengjian, but it may be that there is still something to be explored in the mechanism of Lin's Chengjian. This also makes the academic circle very excited. Where the mechanism has not been excavated, will it be a new revolution in the chemical world?
After all, this is to explore the principles of the formation of various chemical bonds and explain the process. In this way, people can understand the reasons for the formation of various substances more fundamentally, thereby laying the foundation for controlling the formation of chemical bonds between elements.

Of course, there are some people who think that this is the limit of Lin’s bonding mechanism. They cannot fully understand the process of chemical bond formation of all elements. They can only explain a small number of elements, while other elements need to follow another method to count. And this kind of statement also makes people think that these elements that can follow Lin's bonding mechanism all have the same nature, while other elements that do not follow Lin's bonding mechanism have other properties. It is like Fermi-Dirac statistics and Bose-Einstein statistics in quantum mechanics.

It's just that Lin Xiao has no time to take care of these things now. He just feels a little regretful in his heart now that the bonding mechanism of silicon has not yet appeared.

At the beginning, he deduced the bonding mechanism of titanium from the structure and various data of TA1000, so he knew the application potential of this mechanism better than anyone in the world. By using the bonding mechanism of silicon, there is a complete opportunity for him to design Produce the silicon material he needs now.

"Could it be that I'm going to go back to my old job again?"

He couldn't help thinking about it.

Want to figure out the silicon bonding mechanism?

This made him couldn't help complaining in his heart.

mmp, people in the field of chemistry and material science are too stretched now, right?

He handed over the methods and rules to them, but after more than two years, they have not even figured out the bonding mechanism of silicon.

It's a little too weak, right?

In the end, he had to submit the manuscript himself, which is really disappointing.

He sighed, and then he said: "Then you continue to think about it first, I will look at the bonding mechanism of several other elements, and see if I can study the bonding mechanism of silicon."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, everyone's eyes lit up, but they became puzzled after a while.

Another researcher named Li Bin asked: "Director, do you think silicon will follow your bonding mechanism?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "Even if I don't follow it, it doesn't prevent me from giving it a try, right? It's all about research."

It's all the same to him anyway.

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, the others no longer had any doubts.

Indeed, it is all about research anyway, which direction is it not?
And if Lin Xiao can really study the bonding mechanism of silicon, it may indeed be of great help to them.

So now it seems that they have to divide into two ways to try to make a breakthrough for the preparation of this new silicon crystal.

Lin Xiao announced: "That's the end of today's meeting. After a week, there will be results. Let's continue the regular meeting."

"it is good."

The others nodded one after another, and then they left the meeting room without saying anything more.
