I've done whatever I want

The thought of returning home made He Weijia's blood boil.

In front of his eyes flashed the wilderness of his hometown, the vast expanse of blue Dongting Lake, and the towering Mount Tai.

After receiving the heartfelt blessing from the mentor he had always admired, He Weijia followed Xin Tong on his journey back to China without hesitation.

After the defense of his doctoral thesis in May, he had been thinking about his future. He originally wanted to stay in the United States to continue research on ReRAM memristor technology, and dreamed of one day becoming a Tech Fellow of a world-class chip giant like ST Texas Instruments.

He had no idea that his two roommates from Tsinghua University would fly over from across the ocean and sincerely want to join him, which shattered his dream.

Tian Tianle once mentioned this matter on the phone. He always thought it was a joke. After all, the innovative technology of ReRAM memristor is to be realized on the wafer. Tape Out tape-out verification requires a lot of real money. The future industry The road to globalization also requires sky-high investment, and it is not a project that ordinary people can play around with.

Xin Tong is not short of money and has strong financing capabilities. What more can I ask for?

Besides, Jinshi Technology has Tian Tianle and Xin Tong. After he joins, the company's chip research and development capabilities will be very terrifying.

He had no reason not to be optimistic about Jinshi Technology, which had both technology and capital.

ReRAM memristor is like a strange flower. Instead of blooming in a foreign country, it is better to bloom on the land of the motherland. Now that the soil of domestic semiconductors has been fertile, it is a good time to return to China to display their talents.

In Shanghai in May, the sun was shining brightly, planes were flying in the blue sky, high-speed trains were running on the track, and river ships were dotted on the Yangtze River. Everything was full of youthful vitality. When he returned to China, Xin Tong and Tian Tianle specially accompanied him to the Bund. Walked around ten miles of foreign land.

Breathing the humid wind of the Huangpu River, He Weijia was full of emotions: "The changes in China are so fast. We living in the United States are a bit stuck!"

"Jiajia, the gap between China and the United States is rapidly narrowing, and there are many opportunities at home. If you choose to return home, you are on the right path!" Tian Tianle said.

"Zhang Kaijun, Senior Operations Director of SMIC Fab Factory, also graduated from Tsinghua University. If you want to develop ReRAM technology in the future, you can ask him to help you arrange it. The domestic scientific research atmosphere is not as bad as you think!" Xin Tong patted He Weijia's face. Shoulder said.

"ReRAM process development is a research based on wafers, which requires constant spending of money!" He Weijia said.

Without money, everything is empty talk!

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about money. I will use all the savings I have saved over the years to start my business to fully support you!" Xin Tong said with a serious face.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the towering Pudong "Three-piece Suit" across the river, and felt that there was an upward force motivating him.

"Yes, we will all support you!" Tian Tianle also nodded.

From undergraduate to master's degree, he and He Weijia were in the same class. He was very clear about the ability of this Olympian strongman.

"When Jinshi Technology allotted shares, I deliberately left shares valued at [-] billion in the stock pool just to wait for you to fall in. You are a very important piece of the puzzle of Jinshi Technology!" Facing Jiang Wind, Xin Tong said.

When the original shares were mentioned, He Weijia felt a little inexplicably moved. It turned out that Xin Tong had already thought of him a long time ago.

He touched his head with his hand. He felt that he was so rich that it was unbelievable. "Brother!" He Weijia shouted after being silent for a long time.

"Good brother!" Xin Tong hugged him.

"Jiajia, you have made a fortune. The shares that were valued at [-] billion back then are now worth almost [-] million. The annual dividend will exceed [-] million. As our car-grade MCU chips are sold in the market, , Jinshi Technology’s valuation will rise in the future!” Tian Tianle said with a smile.

"Brother, in a few years, you can also buy a house on the river beach opposite! The Tomson first-class commercial house opposite is [-] to [-] yuan per square meter. A house is worth more than [-] million yuan. Waiting for your ReRAM technology to be integrated into After joining the MCU, I can guarantee you that your dreams will come true! This is the magic of industrialization of science and technology!" Xin Tong pointed to the mansion on the other side of the river and said.

"The development of ReRAM technology is now in full swing. This year, SMIC signed an foundry agreement with Crossbar in the United States to produce ReRAM based on SMIC's 40nm CMOS manufacturing process. Western Digital also announced that it will use 3D ReRAM in its upcoming dedicated SSD. To replace traditional NAND flash memory, don’t worry, I have recently thought of a new technology route, and there will be a breakthrough soon. If the performance of Endurance can be improved a little more, the industrialization prospects are very bright, and we will win!" He Weijia was full of heart gained confidence.

"I'm very optimistic about you stepping forward to break the storage wall under the von Neumann architecture. Come on, Jiajia!" Xin Tong patted He Weijia on the shoulder and said.

He Weijia raised his head and looked at the sky in Shanghai, and nodded solemnly.

The next day, the "Polaris" project was officially launched.

"The product manager of our Polaris project is Dr. He Weijia. He studied under Professor Lu Wei, an international IEEE Fellow. After completing his studies, he wants to use this project to serve our motherland!" Xin Tong said at the project establishment meeting.

The venue immediately burst into warm applause.

Yuan Chengxu, who has always been unruly, also gave a thumbs up. He had heard about this technical giant for a long time.

"If the 2.0 version of the Buddha circuit has made our Grade 0 car-grade chip, once the ReRAM IP is successfully integrated into the MCU chip, it will cause a devastating dimensionality reduction blow to all car-grade chips on the existing market, Jinshi Technology will use this to leap from an unknown junior to an industry giant!" Looking forward to the bright prospects of the project, Xin Tong looked happy.

There was once again warm applause in the venue.

"Dear colleagues, under the von Neumann architecture, the storage and computing areas of the chip are separated. During calculation, data needs to be moved back and forth between the two areas, forming a storage wall, resulting in unnecessary waste of computing power. According to Statistics show that in application scenarios with large computing power, the power consumption of data transfer is 650 times that of operation. For an MCU chip that pursues computing performance, it is very difficult to use traditional Flash to increase the operating frequency and read and write speed. ReRAM has This unique skill of using memory to do calculations will allow these complex problems to be easily solved." He Weijia stood up and gushed when he mentioned the ReRAM technology that made him famous.

Tian Tianle nodded, thinking that his old roommate's foreign ink in the past four years was really not in vain.

Yuan Chengxu gave a thumbs up again, thinking to himself that Xin Tong was really awesome, and he had hired such a great person.

Chip design is not difficult, but making a top-notch chip is difficult, which requires the combined efforts of many people with unique skills.

Life often faces choices, and it is not easy to do multiple-choice questions in life. Choosing Jinshi Technology in this life is the right way to go.
