technological heresy

Chapter 73 071 Is there such a technology in this world?
Before going to bed, Liu Zhixin walked into Ning Qing's room, glared at him, and left without saying a word.Afterwards, no one came to disturb her, so Ning Qing also rested well.It's just that when she woke up the next day and saw Liu Xiaohan, before he could say hello, the girl glared at him, then lowered her head shyly.

This is probably the sequelae of yesterday's unrestrained speech.But Ning Qing just shrugged and looked away.

Classmate Xiaohan is good-looking and has a good figure, not to mention his family background. It is a pity that he came this time to contribute to the Hanwei Group.

The minds of the two children will naturally not be taken too seriously by the adults.In fact, most members of the negotiation team of Hanwei Group still don't know the reason why Liu Zhixin brought her daughter and a student to Ryan to participate in the negotiation.If it is said that Liu Xiaohan is going to be trained to take over, it is undoubtedly too early.What kind of business do underage girls know?
Not to mention that Liu Zhixin himself is in the prime of his life, and he can still take the helm for at least 20 years.But private companies are good at this point. Everyone only needs to implement the boss's decision.Unless it is too outrageous and may affect the decision of the company's survival, otherwise no one will raise strong objections.

In fact, West is also puzzled by the fact that he brought two teenage children with him during his visit to Hanwei Group.After all, this negotiation can be said to be very important to both parties.However, after learning that Liu Xiaohan is the daughter of the chairman of the Hanwei Group, the specifications here have been improved a bit.

It is said that the education model of Chinese and Westerners for children is very different from that of the East.For example, as long as children graduate from high school, throw them out and let them fend for themselves. In fact, this is a very one-sided interpretation.Such families are most likely to belong to Ryan's poor families, and simply put, they can't be managed if they want to.

As long as anyone can have assets above the middle class, the help to future generations is actually the same. They even pay more attention to the concepts of blood, inheritance, and family than Orientals.So Ning Qing, who followed Liu Xiaohan silently along the way, also received more considerate treatment.

Yes, this time it was Ning Qing who took advantage of Liu Xiaohan.

After all, all his current achievements and reputation are still in a very small range.Don't deliberately ask, in fact, no one knows such an ordinary Chinese child.The introduction to Ning Qing on the visit list submitted by Hanwei Group was just an ordinary middle school student, a classmate who came to study with Liu Xiaohan this time.

……

The morning tour passed quickly.

After all, the bragging-like introduction meeting is actually similar to class, and Ning Qing just dozed off after listening to it, let alone Xiao Liu, who was even less interested in these students.As for the representatives of the Hanwei Group, even if they pretended to be listening carefully, most of them were distracted.

West Chip is the negotiating opponent of this acquisition. For these professionals, they have already had a comprehensive understanding of this company, and it can even be said that they know this company better than the foreigner bragging on stage. The situation of the company.

So everyone knows what happened to those seemingly glorious histories, and naturally there is no fun.

After bragging, it is time to look at the chip design unit.

It is also very boring. To put it bluntly, it is to draw circuit diagrams on the computer with the help of design software.This is a very professional, but actually very boring thing.But for negotiators, it is possible to observe the mental state of these researchers and make an assessment of the company's current situation, but such assessments are mostly inaccurate.

It's only a little bit more interesting than sitting there and listening to West Chip's introducer bragging.

But at this time, Ning Qing was refreshed. In the morning, he had almost recognized all the reception staff of West this time, especially the key figures who received this visit.

For example, the director of system architecture of West Chip-Tony Sander; the director of technology development-Naldo Kano, and the technical executive of West hardware products in charge of this R&D center-Went Berner .

Although these people did not participate in this negotiation directly, they are undoubtedly the most important scientific research force of Westchip.Their opinions largely influence the final decision of the company.

Cold meals would be nothing to shout about.

If there are still people who serve Liu Xiaohan exclusively, then Ning Qing is really like a little transparent.Except for Liu Zhixin who occasionally glanced past this young man, almost no one would notice Ning Qing.In fact, Liu Xiaohan really wanted to say a few words to Ning Qing, mainly because she was not used to this kind of occasion, but the only people she knew well at the scene were her father and Ning Qing, and Liu Zhixin was always surrounded by a group of people like stars and moons. Surrounded by people, the only one who can chat with her is Ning Qing.

But some small things that happened last night made Liu Xiaohan blush involuntarily when he thought of Ning Qing, and felt embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to Ning Qing.What's even more annoying is that Ning Qing is also happy to be at leisure, enjoying being a transparent person, silently observing a few important people.

Fortunately, the cold meal will end soon, and the group started the afternoon visit after a short rest.

At this time, Ning Qing also officially entered the state, ready to start his performance.

……

In the lithography stage of the chip, through the spotless transparent glass, you can see the engineers in the dust-proof suits operating in the clean room.The large photolithography machine is one of the most advanced equipment on this planet.Although this visit couldn't directly go deep into the workshop, and he couldn't see the internal operation of the lithography machine, Ning Qing still stood for a long time on the corridor specially prepared for the visit, with a youthful curiosity and a little bit of confusion on his face.

Tony Sang Da has not paid too much attention to Ning Qing and Liu Xiaohan, although he, as one of the accompanying reception staff, got the list of Hanwei Group's visit early.After all, it is very common in Ryan for big shots to bring their nephews to meet the world.

So after learning about the relationship between Liu Xiaohan and Liu Zhixin, he didn't pay much attention to these two children.

until now.

Most of the people had almost finished walking the sightseeing corridor of the lithography process, but when Ning Qing was still standing there looking engrossed, Tony Sanda, who was also in the back row of the line, noticed the high school student.After being urged twice by his entourage, but the young man was still reluctant to move, Tony Sanda walked over.

He waved at the accompanying staff and signaled him to solve the problem. After the staff left, Tony Sanda said, "Hi, I'm Tony Sanda, I remember your name is Ning...Qing ,Is it right?"

When addressing Ning Qing, the director of chip system architecture used substandard Chinese, but this also shows that he is still very responsible for his work.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Sang Da." Ning Qing turned his head to look at Tony Sang Da, and said hello politely, then turned his head back immediately, and set his sights on the busy lithography workshop.

"Actually, you can call me Tony, Mr. Sanda is too formal. Are you interested in lithography machines? Maybe after we go out, I can explain to you the inner workings of this machine?" Tony Sandra said.

Today's tour schedule is still very tight, he actually doesn't have much patience to chat with Ning Qing here, he just wants to take the child out of the workshop as soon as possible.

Fortunately, these words also made Ning Qing react. The boy turned his head and looked at Tonyel Sander naively, then shook his head with a confused expression on his face: "Tonil, I have actually heard about it before." The internal situation of the engraving machine, I am just curious that what I visited today seems to be different from the process I saw in the chip laboratory of Hanwei Group?"

"Oh?" Hearing Ning Qing's words, Tony Sangda was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart moved.

According to the information currently obtained by Westchip, Hanwei Group has not entered the field of chip manufacturing at all, and naturally it is impossible to have a chip laboratory.This intelligence is believed by the entire semiconductor industry.Although Hanwei Group is not listed, the flow of its funds can support this judgment.

And if you really want to do research on chip manufacturing, you can't hide it at all, because you need to buy corresponding manufacturing equipment.Lithography machines, etching machines, ion implanters, etc... Especially the sales of each lithography machine can be traced.

So what did the kid mean just now?
Hanwei Group has secretly started doing its own chip research?

Hearing this news by accident, Tony Sander was no longer in a hurry, and a warm smile like a spring breeze hung on his face: "Probably you made a mistake. As far as I know, Hanwei Group does not manufacture chips." laboratory."

"Ah?" Ning Qing looked up at Tonyel Sangda, with an expression of disbelief on his face, he opened his mouth, but didn't speak. The next moment he just replied sullenly: "Oh, that might be me too. You made a mistake. Mistaking another lab for a lab on a chip."

Tony Sander smiled and said, "It must be so. This is a photolithography process, and it is also an industrial process that chip manufacturing cannot bypass."

Ning Qing opened his mouth again, but in the end he still didn't make a sound, but the expression of dissatisfaction on his face became more serious.

Seeing this scene, Tony Sander said gently: "You can tell me what you think. After all, I have been studying chips for decades. I believe that your questions will not trouble me."

Ning Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said happily: "Well, Tony, an uncle told me that the chip can actually bypass the photolithography process, because the circuit can be etched on the inner and outer walls of the standard carbon nanotube material first. , and then put it into a large culture tank, and use catalysts to allow carbon nanomaterials to grow along the circuits on the inner and outer walls. This is also a way to produce chips, and the chip itself is still three-dimensional, and carbon atoms are more dense than silicon atoms. Small, using this technology can produce chips that are more powerful than traditional silicon elements in the future. Do you think it is possible?"

Tony Sunda blinked and laughed again: "Ning, is that uncle you're talking about a writer of science fiction?"

This time Ning Qing looked even more unconvinced, and immediately retorted: "Who said that? I've seen unpackaged finished products! It's just a silicon base and the top is similar to a chip, it's all densely packed, and the silicon base The slices below are those contact points!"

A disdainful smile appeared on Tony Sander's face, and he said: "What you see may not be real. Well, you say that carbon nanotubes are used to make chips. Just think about it. Those carbon nanotubes are densely arranged and piled up together. , the simplest heat dissipation problem cannot be solved during operation.”

Hearing this, Ning Qing immediately cheered up, and his dissatisfied expression was even worse, with a trace of memory: "I just heard that uncle said about this problem. The heat dissipation can be solved by design. The edge of the chip uses carbon The nano-beam structure overcomes, um, overcomes the thermal resistance of the interface. There are four lines on the side port and the edge of the silicon-through-control, which are also filled with carbon nanotubes.

Also, when carbon nanotubes are arranged, signals are processed at intervals.That is to say, adjacent through-hole circuits are separated by carbon materials for heat dissipation.When the chip is operating at full capacity, adjacent signal processing is arranged at intervals.There will always be some chips that are responsible for heat dissipation during high-load calculations, and will be rotated when the other part's overload operation time reaches a certain threshold.This is a... a brand new all-carbon cooling structure! "

Ning Qing spoke quickly, the only difference was that when he introduced these functions, it seemed as if he was endorsing them.

This also made Tony Sander look a little more serious.

Especially when Ning Qing looked at the technical executive of West with a little pride after finishing the memorization, Tonyer Sander couldn't help but said again: "Oh? You know a lot, you also know What? It’s better to say it all, and let me tell you why what you said is unlikely to come true.”

"I still remember the dynamic simulation effect of this chip, injecting the working signal, if the peak value of the signal is set to 1V, the period is 1ns and 0.1ns respectively, the rise time and fall time are 4% of the period, and the duty cycle is 0.5. The signal line is connected to an open circuit at the lower end, and the upper end is connected to a 50Ω load. Oh, yes, I also know that the current technical process of this chip is 180NM, but it will definitely reach 60NM quickly in the future." Ning Qing said very proudly.

Looking at each other, Tony Sangda frowned as he saw Ning Qing's proud expression that belonged to a young man.My mind has already begun to boil over and over again.

That is not true, is it?

Could it be that Hanwei Group has already secretly started to lay out chip manufacturing, and has already found the direction to overtake on the curve?
Believe it, this information is truly astonishing.Believe it or not, the teenage boy in front of him seems to be telling the truth.Those series of professional values ​​are obviously not something a high school student can understand, unless he has actually visited a chip laboratory, seen different equipment, and listened to the explanations of professionals...

For a moment, Tony Sanda's heart began to waver.
