Great Country Academician

"Carbon-based Semiconductor Materials and Devices Industry Development Discussion Conference"

A line of black titles was displayed on a silver-white curtain and a bright red background.

When I saw this line of title, the entire conference room became noisy, with rustling discussions almost everywhere, and everyone had a look of surprise in their eyes.

In the conference room, Academician Liu Quan, who was sitting in the front row, was stunned when he saw the title on the screen.

He guessed that today's meeting might be related to the electronic information industry and chips, but he never thought that the discussion at the meeting would be about carbon-based chips.

You know, just in the second half of last year, a special meeting was held within the Chinese Academy of Sciences to discuss the prospects of carbon-based chips and whether they were worth large-scale investment.

Those who could participate in that meeting were undoubtedly leading experts and academicians in the domestic electronic information industry and chip field.

But the result of the discussion was that carbon-based chips were ‘temporarily’ rejected by most people.

At that time, almost all the experts and academicians present agreed that breakthroughs in carbon-based chips would not be possible in the short term.

Although traditional silicon-based chips are approaching their physical limits, carbon-based chips have attracted much attention as an alternative technology with great potential.

This is a broader road than silicon-based chips, but there are too many difficulties that need to be solved to get on it.

Whether it is precisely controlling the arrangement of carbon nanotubes, the preparation and large-scale integration of carbon-based transistors, or solving the stability and reliability of carbon-based chips, it is a huge problem.

Any of these problems is extremely difficult to solve, otherwise the carbon-based chip path would not have been "briefly" rejected at the last meeting.

Everyone knows that carbon-based chips are very likely to be the future, but for now, they cannot quench our thirst.

However, in today's obviously larger discussion, the topic of carbon-based chips was brought up again.

And judging from the scale of today's meeting, it is obvious that the top management may have made a decision.

This is something Liu Quan has never thought of.

Sitting next to him, Academician Wang Qiming was stunned for a moment when he looked at the discussion title on the screen. He opened his mouth and looked at it in disbelief for a while, then turned his head sharply, swallowed and looked towards the person sitting next to him. asked an old friend.

"Is this... to promote the development of carbon-based chips?"

Liu Quan squinted his eyes and stared at the screen on the stage without replying.

Judging from the current development of carbon-based chips, this should be impossible.

On the podium, the elder who presided over the meeting spoke next amid the noisy discussion in the conference room.

"Since entering the information age, the performance of silicon-based semiconductor chips has continued to improve rapidly, creating a solid hardware foundation for worldwide networking, digitalization and intelligence."

"However, as the chip manufacturing process gradually approaches the physical limit at the nanometer scale, the significant jump in performance of silicon-based semiconductor chips is coming to an end. The search for new semiconductor materials to replace silicon has become a candidate to ensure the rapid development of chip performance."

"According to the suggestions of Academician Xu Chuan, chief engineer of Xinghai Research Institute's Carbon-based Chips, and the latest results of Xinghai Research Institute's Materials Research Institute, the full development of carbon-based chips will bring new opportunities and opportunities to the electronic information industry in my country and even the world. develop."

“The carbon-based semiconductor materials that attract the most attention are carbon nanotubes and graphene. Both have many mechanical, electrical and chemical properties that are superior to silicon materials, and are the most promising carbon-based materials to replace silicon.”

“Under the leadership of Academician Xu Chuan, the Xinghai Research Institute’s Carbon-based Chip Project has achieved a major breakthrough, achieving ultra-high density integration of 10 million carbon nanotubes per square millimeter on a carbon-based substrate, integrating a total of 630,000 carbon nanotubes. The result of a finished carbon-based chip with 150,000 carbon-based transistors.”

"Based on this project, the country will consider vigorously supporting the development of carbon-based chips, opening up a carbon-based semiconductor chip industry group, and promoting carbon-based chips."

"."

Hearing this, the discussion below the conference room became commotion again.

Especially the experts and academicians in the semiconductor and electronics industries sitting in the audience who participated in the meeting were even more shocked.

A carbon-based substrate with high density integration of 10 million carbon nanotubes per square millimeter?

A finished carbon-based chip integrating a total of 6.35 million carbon-based transistors?

屮艸芔茻?

When did this happen? Why was it so sudden? There was no news at all before this?

Isn’t Xinghai Research Institute a research institution that studies controllable nuclear fusion technology and aerospace engineering? When did you enter the semiconductor field?

Also made such a big breakthrough in the field of carbon-based chips?

How did they solve those technical problems?

For a time, all kinds of confusion filled everyone's minds. Almost no one dared to believe that this was true, but they accepted this fact very naturally in their hearts.

Because there have been too many miracles in any academic research involving the man from Jinling, from the beginning to the present.

In addition to the shock brought by the breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology, the high-level support for carbon-based chips also surprised and shocked everyone present.

Strongly support the development of carbon-based chips, open up a carbon-based semiconductor chip industry group, and promote carbon-based chips to replace silicon-based chips as the core of a new era.

It can be said that each of these things is a treatment that silicon-based chips have never had.

It can be said that every government official has shown that they are eager to make a big revolution in the field of chips and electronics industry.

On the conference stage, after introducing the development of carbon-based chips and the overall deployment plan, the old man on the stage picked up the water cup on the table and moistened his throat, and continued:

"The relevant situation is like this at present. We will have a meeting to discuss it next. I hope you can give us your opinions. You can raise any ideas at the meeting."

After the words fell, an arm was raised from the audience.

The person who raised his hand was none other than Academician Wang Qiming, who served as the "Director of the Semiconductor Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences".

The elder on the stage looked over the raised arm and nodded to signal the other party to speak.

Academician Wang Qiming stood up and looked at the PPT on the screen and said, "I don't doubt that Xinghai Research Institute has already produced the carbon-based substrate and finished chips in the report, but does Xinghai Research Institute have the ability to achieve large-scale production, and whether the performance of carbon-based chips can catch up with and surpass today's silicon-based chips? Are there any solutions?"

"After all, there are many problems with carbon-based chips, whether it is the high-density aggregation of materials such as carbon nanotubes or graphene, or the overall preparation technology is very complicated."

"These have a major impact on the development of the chip industry and the electronics industry. May I ask if Xinghai Research Institute has provided further relevant information?"

He did not doubt that the person far away in Jinling was involved in the research of carbon-based chips.

Although this is an extremely cross-disciplinary research, it is not the first or second time for that person to break through the technical barriers across fields.

What's more, he is not without a foundation in carbon-based materials. He came up with the high-quality graphene mass production preparation technology.

On this basis, it is not impossible to deepen the research on carbon nanotubes.

But the laboratory's carbon-based chip product integration technology and industrial batch preparation technology are two completely different concepts.

This is a commonplace question. Successful laboratory preparation does not mean that it can be transformed into industrial mass production.

Every year, most of the results produced by hundreds of thousands of laboratories around the world are discarded and cannot be transformed into application results.

And there are many that seem valuable, and a large part of the reason is that laboratory research and industrialization are two completely different concepts.

The important reason why silicon-based chips can occupy the mainstream is that the method of industrial mass preparation, namely "transistors", has been found.

Carbon-based chips are still not available, so in this regard, he, as the "Director of the Semiconductor Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", still remains skeptical.

On the stage, the old man nodded and said, "Regarding the questions you raised, there are relevant information and explanations in the conference reports on your tables. You can take a look."

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room immediately picked up the planning report documents on the table.

On the stage, the elder continued to answer the questions of Academician Wang Qiming just now.

"Carbon-based chips have made major breakthroughs. This is a direction with more potential and future, and will redefine the most fundamental and core technology track of the electronics industry."

"Now, Xinghai Research Institute has opened the door for us to step onto this new track and solved most of the basic core problems in carbon-based chips. I believe that the remaining difficulties are only temporary."

"And if we can establish our own advantages and order in carbon-based chips first, this will be a brand new era."

As soon as the voice fell, another arm was raised under the stage.

Facing the major technological breakthrough of carbon-based chips, whether it is the scholars participating in the meeting or the leaders of various departments, everyone present has too many questions in their hearts.

This scene, like the establishment of the Qixia controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactor project, shocked the entire Chang'an Street, set off countless ups and downs, and also set off the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution.

PS: There is another chapter in the evening. It's the end of the month. The big guys are begging for the monthly tickets in their hands. There are not even 2,000 monthly tickets this month, (.﹏.*). Asking for monthly tickets, eight tails are cute and rolling online to ask for monthly tickets
