Chapter 324 Not a simple growth method

Wang Xu happily found a bunch of jobs for the electronics department and invested some money, not much, just a few hundred thousand.It's good. In addition to majors such as water conservancy and civil engineering, Wang Xu has almost covered all the engineering majors in Shuimu.

Even the Department of Architecture is helping him design a new building. This resource is awesome.

However, Mizuki's Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering asked him for an internship spot, so that's another story.

Scientific research may seem very mysterious to outsiders, but in fact, the cost of most preliminary research and development is really not that high. What is really expensive is often industrialized research.

In the early stage, it is normal to use your imagination, think of countermeasures, and check papers. It feels almost like writing a handwritten novel.

The core reason for the high cost of scientific research is trial and error. Too much imagination cannot be realized at all, but the cost has been actually spent, and then several papers were published telling everyone that this path is wrong.

It's like you don't have much money to do a material test, but you can't test various combinations. The result is that the money is flowing out, and then you get a bunch of papers telling you that the idea is wrong.

Wang Xu is not a real scientist. His greatest advantage is that he knows the direction of many roads, whether it comes from the system or what he heard from later generations. Even if he has a partial understanding, the roads he points out are often highly achievable.

Therefore, although Wang Xu repeatedly emphasized that he was just using his imagination and his ideas were not very reliable, the professors in the electronics department did not believe him.

Although it does not have a detailed development roadmap like the growth method project, the foundation of this new project is the growth method itself.

As a result, a report was submitted, and a new branch of the growth method was born.

Don't think that Wang Xu's imagination is the only one, the professors and PhDs in the Department of Electronics have equally impressive imaginations.

They even proposed a possible path to directly grow a chip by omitting a series of chip processing steps such as doping, metal plating, and pickling.

The key is that after this road was drawn, even Wang Xu had to admit that it seemed not impossible.

In addition, various methods of processing on membranes have been proposed. Especially with the two devices of the growth method for reference, Shuimu University has also made some progress in research on the essence of the growth method.

As a result, a series of creative improvements based on the growth method equipment provided by Wang Xu were proposed. Since the substrate is what it is, it will grow into what it is.

Since then, the single growth method, the mask growth method, the liquid growth method, the multiple growth method, the cold growth method, the hot growth method, well, this is so imaginative, it can be called a hundred flowers blooming.

Some succeed, most fail, but this is the normal state of scientific research.

Failure may not necessarily be a failure in the route, but may also be a failure in different directions such as equipment processing and parameter adjustment.

Summarizing, summarizing, and improving are just tossing anyway.

The little funds that were finally collected from the patent pool were quickly consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Subsequently, various modified growth method equipment can be seen almost everywhere in electronics and automation departments, and research enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.

It shouldn't be difficult to use transparent glass or resin materials as substrates to directly grow circuit diagrams. This thing is soft, transparent, and looks like science fiction.

Although it still cannot reach the circuit density of integrated circuits, with relaxed processing, a small transparent flexible circuit was born within a few months.One method works, a hundred methods work. The success of this flexible circuit shocked the whole school, even more shocking than the birth of the blue light diode.

Because this is not just the success of a product, but the success of a method. In the process of scientific research, a method represents a road, and a road often means a series of unknowns and possibilities. , this is what these scholars really care about.

Later, when the manufacturing process was also relaxed, people discovered that all-LED display films seemed to be feasible.

If you arrange enough LED diodes, it will be a monochrome display. If you arrange the three primary colors according to the rules, it will be a color display. If it is attached to the glass, it will be a transparent screen. If it is attached to the black background, it will be a display screen. The kind that does not require backlight .

If necessary, the growth method can even be arranged on a curved substrate to form a so-called curved screen. A spherical screen is not impossible.

As for the size, well, the growth method itself is uniform in all directions, so the decisive factor affecting the size is the size of the processing equipment. Interestingly, this seems to be simpler than producing LCDs.

Forget it, don't worry about it, whether these things are cost-effective and how to use them most cost-effectively, the right way is to go to the market, there is no point in thinking about it by yourself.

In any case, it seems that it has opened the door to a new processing technology. This is the kind of zero-to-one progress, and its significance is far greater than the introduction of an LCD production line.

Although the current results are still very rudimentary, they also show everyone almost unlimited possibilities.

And these successes in turn further stimulated the brains of the professors, seeking innovation and change. In the words of fantasy novels, the golden world suddenly opened, and the gears of fate turned in a hurry.

Since then, the Mizuki Electronics Department has had the unique ability to dominate the field. At least in the application of the growth method, it is even ahead of the Chemistry Department, taking the lead in achieving the general trend of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming.

Then, the pressure naturally came to the Chemistry Department. To be honest, they were also fooled by Wang Xu. After all, although the long-chain fiber growth method had been submitted to them long ago, Wang Xu's priority was not high.

Who made the growth method itself far more powerful than Wang Xu expected? If it weren't for an accidental imagination, how could Wang Xu have thought that the growth method would have so many weird applications.

This also made Wang Xu start to reflect on himself. He seemed to have underestimated the technology provided by the system. Even with face-slapping operations like single crystal copper, Wang Xu still believed that what the system provided was what he had experienced in his previous life. The level of technology is not so high.

In fact, it is roughly the same. Regardless of speakers or microphones, although the things provided by the system are cash, the performance is just that.

But Wang Xu ignored one thing, that is, there has not been any major development in these two types of products. The current speakers and microphones are not fundamentally different from those 30 years ago in terms of principle and structure. The future will be quite long. For a period of time, there won't be much development either.

In the 60s, Chouguo was able to analyze the voices of people in the room by monitoring the vibration of the glass. The sensitivity of the microphone was not even much lower than that provided by the system. Of course, the equipment at that time was also larger.

But the same equipment, processing and manufacturing methods may be very different. The technologies extracted by Wang Xu may not be what the world will have in 30 years. At least the processing and manufacturing methods of single crystal copper are far more advanced than those of single crystal copper. What Wang Xu knew was much simpler.

Now, the same may be true for growth methods. These processing technologies themselves are the real treasures. Wang Xu is even looking forward to the various processing methods that come with new digital equipment.

The pile of materials that Wang Xu once thought might just be because that kind of material is actually very common.
