Chapter 101 The Youngest Academician

Because of the domestic lithography machine, Xu Lei was unable to go home to spend the New Year with his parents this time, but only made several video calls in his spare time.

Knowing that the parents' life is not bad, they put their energy back on chip manufacturing, and want to realize the technology of producing 1-nanometer cores through the special metal bismuth as soon as possible.

This will ensure that the domestic chip manufacturing process will not be surpassed by overseas countries for a long time in the future.

In this way, he can return to Binjiang City with peace of mind.

It is also worth mentioning that while Xu Lei continued to stay in the laboratory, the Chinese Academy of Sciences also actively launched the layout.

It wants to realize large-scale production as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold in the global semiconductor market.

For this reason, after approval, a new high-end chip manufacturing company named Loongson Group was established, and according to the previous agreement, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Xu Lei each accounted for 50.00% of the shares.

However, for this Godson Group, Xu Lei made it clear that he would not participate in the operation of the company.

After all, just a Future Technology Co., Ltd. is enough for him to flex his muscles.

If he was responsible for all of them, I'm afraid he would have more than enough energy.

Anyway, Godson Group has the world's top high-end chip production technology, so there is no need to worry about the company's development and long-term planning.

The first cooperation received by Loongson Group was to manufacture Tamron 980 chips for Huawei Technology.

……

"Let's start the experiment, this time we will strive for success."

Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Xu Lei, who was wearing an operation suit in the laboratory, immediately began to operate the instrument in front of him after giving orders to several researchers in the field of materials around him.

Metal bismuth is processed to make nanoscale component channels.

As long as the experiment is successful, 1-nanometer chips can be produced by top domestic lithography machines, and the chip performance will also be greatly improved.

Truly achieve the physical theoretical limit of silicon-based chips.

More than ten days have passed since the preparation of the photoresist was completed, and they have also carried out several processing experiments on metal bismuth.

But all have failed.

It is true that Xu Lei has detailed theoretical knowledge in his mind, but it is not so easy to apply it in practice.

Every time the component channels made of metal bismuth cannot be scaled at the nanometer level, this naturally cannot be used as the electrode of the chip.

But their recent experiments are not without any progress. At least Xu Lei has found a more suitable solution in the failure. He is confident that this experiment will definitely bring a lot of gains.

As the experiment progressed, although several other researchers in the laboratory were nervous, their eyes showed firmness.

I am equally confident in this experiment.

Fully think they are capable of producing 1nm chips.

But you must know that last year they still swear by Xu Lei, believing that 1-nanometer chips, as the physical theoretical limit of silicon-based chips, cannot be produced at all.

However, after the development and assembly of top-level lithography machines, photoresist preparation and other projects, they have been deeply impressed by Xu Lei's amazing ability.

Believe that he is a man who can perform miracles.

Generally speaking, rather than saying that they believe that 1nm chips can be produced, it is better to say that they believe in Xu Lei.

that's it.

It wasn't until wafers using the special metal bismuth were made that the laboratory sounded again.

"XCMG, we succeeded."

"The component channels made of metal bismuth have successfully completed nanoscale scaling, and there should be no more problems this time."

"It really makes people feel like a world away. Not long after we have the technology to produce 3-nanometer chips, we will soon even complete 1-nanometer chips."

"Whoever says no, it all depends on XCMG's efforts."

"To put it inappropriately, sometimes I want to open XCMG's head to see how it grows."

……

"Whether it can achieve our expected performance is still unknown, let's get it to the lithography machine for production testing first."

Perhaps because of the previous failures, Xu Lei was relatively calm at this time. Facing the excitement of several people, he just said these two sentences with a blank face.

According to normal conditions, the performance of a 1nm chip produced using metal bismuth will increase by 3% compared to 30.00nm, while power consumption will be reduced by 50.00%.

However, the corresponding cost price will also rise.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the chip industry will still focus on 3nm chips for a long time to come.

Only very high-end models may be equipped with 1nm chips.

But not having a sword in hand and having a sword are two different things. The advent of 1nm chips represents an unshakable position in the industry.

Followed by.

When Xu Lei came out of the laboratory, changed his clothes and was about to go to the lithography machine to wait for the test results, he saw Hao Yaoping walking towards him with joy on his wrinkled face.

Before he, a junior, took the initiative to say hello, the other party's voice rang in his ear.

"How is the experiment? If there are still problems, you might as well rest for a while and talk about it later."

"The wafer has been taken for testing."

"It is estimated that the results will come out soon, and this time it should not be a big problem,"

Regarding Hao Yaoping's relief, Xu Lei didn't mean to hide anything intentionally, and directly told the current progress of the experiment.

Hao Yaoping has taken Xu Lei's experiments into account these days. Although he believes that 1nm chips can be manufactured, he doesn't want Xu Lei to be too tired. After all, he has worked hard for this top-level photolithography machine and photoresist before. a long time.

But after hearing Xu Lei's answer, he couldn't help being startled.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lei's efficiency still exceeded his expectations.

After pausing for a few seconds, he stretched his face and showed a joyful and proud smile again, patting Xu Lei on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You can say that, it seems that the 1-nanometer chip is about to come out today, it is really a scary thing. Guy!"

The voice just fell.

Hao Yaoping quickly seemed to think of something again, and quickly added: "By the way, the dean asked you to go to his office, and you can tell him the good news on the chip by the way."

Dean?

to his office?
As Hao Yaoping's words reached his ears, Xu Lei felt puzzled.

Because of the need to overcome the 1nm chip production technology as soon as possible, he made it clear to Yang Senping at the celebration banquet on the Spring Festival day not to let outsiders disturb him.

After all, once the news of the top domestic lithography machine is announced to the public, one can imagine how many news media will interview it.

Even the leaders above will inspect and condolences.

Because Xu Lei really didn't like this kind of occasion, he specifically explained something to Yang Senping.

Now the other party suddenly wanted to go to the office to find him, not knowing what was going on.

At this time, Hao Yaoping seemed to see the worry in Xu Lei's heart, and immediately explained something dumbfounding.

"Don't worry, this time is a good thing."

"Then I'll go and have a look." Seeing that his mind was exposed, Xu Lei smiled awkwardly and walked towards the dean's office.

After ten minutes.

Xu Lei came to the door of Yang Senping's office, saw that the door was open, and walked in directly.

"Dean Yang, is there anything important about calling me over at this time? I'm still waiting to see the chip test results."

"You are here."

Yang Senping, who was originally sitting on a chair, saw Xu Lei come in and hurriedly got up and asked him to sit down on the sofa next to him: "Quick, sit down and talk."

For Yang Senping's office, Xu Lei came here quite often, so he didn't show the slightest restraint, and he sat on the sofa before Yang Senping opened his mouth.

Those who didn't know probably thought they were in their own office.

"It's a good thing for me to let you come here this time. Let's see what this is."

Yang Senping had a bright smile on his face from the beginning to the end. When he said this, he reached out to pick up a red certificate on the table and solemnly handed it over to Xu Lei.

"what is this?"

Noticing what was in Yang Senping's hand, Xu Lei's eyes were drawn to it, and he was full of doubts about the red certificate, which was about the same size as a diploma.

Faced with Xu Lei's doubts, Yang Senping did not directly explain.

After stuffing the certificate into Xu Lei's hands, he said meaningfully: "You will know if you open it yourself."

Hearing this, Xu Lei naturally wouldn't delay anything, and Dang even reached out to open the red certificate.

Looking around, several large black characters jumped into sight, and three of them were the most eye-catching.

Academician certificate.

Yes.

He somehow became an academician.

"Dean Yang, what's going on?"

After carefully checking the photos and names above, Xu Lei couldn't bear the doubts in his heart any longer, and immediately raised his eyes to ask Yang Senping about the situation.

"You have developed a top-level lithography machine, which has completely established our leading position in the semiconductor industry. You deserve this honor."

"Although don't worry."

"Every process is fine."

"And you don't have to stay in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you only enjoy the benefits you deserve."

"The youngest academician, I think this title should be worthy of a genius like you."

After listening to Yang Senping's explanation, Xu Lei finally felt at ease. He is just a pure honorary academician, which can save a lot of unnecessary troubles.

After all, he has no intention of staying in the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do research.

But after thinking about it, if his parents knew the news, they would be happier than if he had a successful career.

Who would tell that in the traditional concept of the older generation, the status of an academician is much higher than that of the boss of a company.

Immediately afterwards, when the matter was finished and Xu Lei was about to return to the laboratory to continue staring at the chip test data, Yang Senping's voice sounded in the office again.

"By the way, there is one more thing. The filming team from the main station will come to shoot a special documentary to further expand the influence of our Godson Group in the semiconductor industry. You, as the project leader, should appear on the camera."

"Shooting a documentary?"

Xu Lei had heard about this matter before, but now that the 1nm chip production technology has been basically solved, he will not stay in the courtyard specifically for this matter.

So he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Dean Yang, I'm afraid you have to find someone else in the project team for this matter."
