Huayu for engineering students

Chapter 322 Finally started to plan the chip ([-])

After tidying up the matter of spending money, I said I was worried, but how could spending money be more worrying than earning money? It was nothing more than Wang Xu's Versailles.For this reason, his three major managers gave him a lot of rollicking eyes, um, Senior Brother Yuzhuo's rollicking eyes are a bit ugly.

However, the days without Wang Fei were really boring, but he had a lot more free time, and he would not devote all his time to scientific research.

The main reason is that there is no need for him to take action now, and only by following the steps can the content he provides be maximized, rather than backfire.

However, expanding the scope of scientific research can be put on the agenda. The current scope of scientific research has actually had some spillover effects, but the impact is limited after all.

Mizuki naturally has selfish motives, and even if he cooperates, it will only be a corner that he can't keep busy with.Not even the immediate neighbors benefited much, let alone universities in other provinces and cities.

Wang Xu was born in Mizuki, so it is inevitable to help Mizuki, but it would be a bit contrary to his original intention to only help Mizuki.

Wang Xu began to think about the next step. It was not easy. He hadn't saved enough points to exchange for high-definition video equipment. Help, concert reckons as well.

Under the circumstances of many restrictions, it is even more necessary to use good steel on the cutting edge. A complete set of high-definition film and television equipment can obtain almost a full set of technologies from chip manufacturing to various software protocols.

But whether it is the most urgently needed thing at the moment requires careful consideration.

Because most of the things in it are digital products, it seems too advanced, and the development speed of semiconductors is too fast. There is also a gap of 30 years. The 30 years of steel smelting and the 30 years of semiconductor iterations are simply worlds apart.

Wang Xu decided to devote more of his energy to the supercomputing project. It has been half a year, and this project has produced a lot of results.

In particular, the emergence of operating systems and network tools has brought the current development into a very smooth stage. With the public computer room donated by Wang Fei, at least it is not impossible to find a machine for development.

By the way, most programmers these days still write code in notebooks, and only debug it on the computer when they are almost done. Reading the program is a compulsory homework for every programmer.

The computer time allocated to a college student for one semester is very limited. If you do it again when you are on the computer, it is really not enough time for input.This is a university like Mizuki, and ordinary universities are even more difficult to find.

Until the early 21s, it was rare for students to have their own computers, let alone now.If a student from a wealthy family buys a computer on the first floor, it is a blessing to the entire floor.

However, the computers in the dormitory are generally not used for software development. Playing games and watching movies are their destinations. Entertainment can be shared, but learning is not.

It was not until almost everyone had a computer that the computer in the dormitory became a real productivity tool, and a large number of software talents were born as a result.

The shortage of talents caused by the lack of basic environment is almost unsolvable, and Wang Fei's donation is just a drop in the bucket.

The number of computers in the entire Shuimu is not even enough for a student in the computer department to have one, let alone share it with the whole school.

At the beginning of the 90s, most engineering departments would carry out computer education, and basic engineering would learn some programming, but very few could try it on the computer.

Anyway, Wang Xu is very anxious about this situation. In fact, the country is even more anxious. In the 863 plan, there are many projects related to semiconductors and lithography machines, but marketization is a big problem.

You come out with a lithography machine, and they will sell you a better one of the same level, and then your lithography machine will be thrown there to eat ashes.Without a market, a positive cycle cannot be formed, and Huaxia's efforts in this regard have been suffocated time and time again.

Frustrated?In the 90s, this was the norm, and it was much more aggrieved than this, so where is it?

This is why Wang Xu decided to accelerate the supercomputing project. In fact, the supercomputing project does not have such high requirements for chips, and there is no need to use Intel chips.

Since the operating system is self-produced, and even the various applications above are the same, it is possible to transplant according to the instruction set of the chip. Although most of them are only professional-level applications, they are applications no matter what.

This can be regarded as opening the door for domestic chips. After domestic chips are produced, they can naturally quickly adapt to their own operating systems and quickly build application systems.

Although it will only go around in circles in the field of workstations and servers at the beginning, the market in this circle is not small enough to allow a series of chips to enter a mature stage.

As for the equipment for producing chips, it is even more troublesome. This thing was not restricted to Huaxia when it was stuck, but it has always been on the restricted list.

To do these things, orders from large chip factories are indispensable, and large chip factories need enough chip demand to feed them.

Domestic chips need domestic software and hardware support to form a market.

That's it, one dies and all dies, but it is also possible to live the same and all live, what will happen in detail, according to the style of the 90s, let's talk about it after we do it.

Either it is an endless loop or a positive loop, but it has to be looped. Wang Xu needs to find a point that can be pushed, give him an initial strength, and then let the loop turn slowly but firmly.

The restrictions on China are currently stuck on the chip production equipment. That is to say, there are currently no restrictions on chip foundry production, and there are not many professional chip design companies in the world. self-produced stage.

Wang Xu could organize people to design first and then find OEMs for production, but the problem is that in this era, chip OEMs have not yet formed a system. The later famous TSMC has only been established for five years and is still struggling to find business everywhere.

However, this is not a problem. In Wang Xu's eyes, this lack is more of an opportunity. Gulf Semiconductors has not yet grown up, and Huaxia may not be able to get a share.

As for lithography machines, as long as there is demand, the growth of lithography machines is not a problem. After all, before EUV, domestic key equipment such as lithography machines, etching machines, and light sources still had a little foundation.

The lithography machines of this era are still in the era of UV ultraviolet light. DUV deep ultraviolet is still under development, and EUV extreme ultraviolet is an unattainable dream.

Regarding the light source, there is a particularly interesting thing. The mercury lamp used for the ultraviolet light source is not a high-tech product. On the contrary, it is everywhere, and it is the same thing as the disinfection lamp used in hospitals.

The only difference is stability. The lithography machine needs a very stable light source to ensure that it is always consistent throughout the chip production process.In order to improve the stability of the circuit, filtering is necessary to filter out the clutter that may affect the current.

Hey, why does it sound familiar?What's wrong with this country? Wang Xu fell into deep thought when he asked about it.
