This Asmail lithography machine comes from the Dutch Asmail company, if you look at the geographical location, according to the conventional thinking of ordinary people, it should be just a township enterprise in the Netherlands, but it is this township enterprise that will become a cosmic giant in the semiconductor industry in the future, and almost ninety percent of the manufacturing equipment of the world's major chip factories comes from this company.

Chen Dahe is not a science and engineering major, let alone a chip, the reason why he knows this company is nothing more than because a domestic unit spent a huge amount of money to order a mainstream lithography machine from them, but under the joint obstruction of the United States and the European Union, the transaction failed, and the material still survived for more than three days in the future of the information flood, becoming one of the hot spots on the Internet.

So when Liu Jianshe told him the information of this machine, he woke up to the fact that outside the US-Japan alliance, there was such a bull-breaking company, and it had been established at this time, and their products were launched to the market.

At this time, Li Zhonghe asked him if he could get another one, and he also hit the idea on this company.

But after thinking about it again, he still rejected this idea, the reason is very simple, although the company is now just a small new one in the chip industry, but the other shareholder behind him who occupies half of the shares is the famous Siemens in Europe.

Asmail is easy to provoke, but Siemens is not easy to provoke, provoking Siemens is equivalent to provoking West Germany, if the European side knows, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no waves.

Although he is not afraid of trouble, it is not worth it just for a lithography machine.

If you go to another university to get it, it will be to treat others as fools, and anyone who treats others as fools is a big fool himself, is he Chen Dahe a big fool?!

Thinking of this, he raised his head, took advantage of the gap between the three old men to chat, and whispered to Li Zhonghe, "There is no way to get another one in a short time, but didn't you say before that you can match the Open University and the Institute of Semiconductors to cooperate in research, just use this equipment as a selling point to promote cooperation between the two sides, and both parties can use it at that time." ”

Li Zhonghe turned his head and looked at him twice, "The matter of cooperation has long been decided, Lao Zhao is a person from the semiconductor institute, and he also agreed to be the director of the chip laboratory, what is the difficulty of cooperation? ”

Seeing that Chen Dahe couldn't help, Li Zhonghe ignored him anymore, and chatted with Sun Yundong about the school's work arrangements for next year.

Chen Dahe watched them chatting hotly, and he was also happy, holding the teacup in both hands, but there was another thing in his mind.

Originally, he decided to put this matter aside for the time being, but today when Li Zhonghe said it, he unconsciously popped out again.

And this thing is the semiconductors of the USSR!

Thinking about Da Mao in later generations, almost 90 percent of electronic spare parts rely on imported or foreign technology, which makes the world think that the Soviet Union's electronics industry is not good, including Chen Dahe.

However, after reading the survey report on the major industries of the Soviet Union transmitted by Dong Jianlei, I suddenly discovered that the Soviet Union's semiconductor level actually followed closely behind the United States, and did not lag much behind, and even exceeded it in some aspects.

It's just that unlike the mainstream transistor technology in later generations, the semiconductor technology developed by the Soviet Union turned out to be an electron tube in another direction, and not only that, but their chip technology was actually ternary!

This is no longer the difference between two sets of technical standards, but two completely different technical systems.

As for why this was done, the reason is simple, because Soviet researchers found that transistors were almost powerless in the face of the electronic pulse of a nuclear explosion, while the electron tubes were not affected, and in the shadow of the nuclear war in the Cold War, it made sense that they chose tubes for military electronics.

In addition, Chen Dahe also consulted with several professors at the Open University to understand the difference between ternary and binary.

I didn't expect ternary logic circuits to be faster, more reliable, and require less equipment and power than binary logic circuits. Even the United States has done corresponding research, but it is not as high as the achievements of the Soviet Union, and in the end, because of the better development of binary, it also canceled the research and development of the ternary, coupled with the closure of the Soviet Union, but made binary become the mainstream of the world, which surprised him.

As for the reasons for the backwardness of Damao's semiconductor industry in later generations, Chen Dahe can also guess a rough idea.

If the Soviet Union could have existed forever, perhaps the semiconductor technology of the electron tube and the ternary computer could be parallel to the European and American technological systems, but with the fall of the Eastern European giants, their technological development came to an abrupt end, and according to the development plan of the Soviet Union, they dispersed different industrial systems according to the distribution of resources to many member states, and later these member states fell apart, and some even turned against each other, dismembering the original complete technological system to pieces, and naturally could no longer compete with European and American technology.

In fact, in addition to semiconductors, many other technical systems are like this, but it is a pity that decades of technology accumulation have been wiped out overnight.

At that time, Chen Dahe was thinking about whether to include semiconductor technology in the packaging catalog, but first, this set of technology was incompatible with the transistors and binaries of later generations, and second, he was not sure, even if he could pack a group of relevant experts back, he would be able to develop this set of technology.

At this moment, I don't know what Wang Yun said again, Li Zhonghe said to him, "The long-term goal of the Open University must be to have its own technical background and academic standards, we are not dependent on others, nor do we expect others to rely on us, the current multi-party cooperation is for the sake of future independence, even if it will cause a certain waste of resources, but these wastes will eventually become nutrients and become the cornerstone of the school's upward development."

And the repeated research of the subject is not necessarily a waste, the researchers are different, the ideas are different, the results are naturally different, on the basis of independent research, to carry out subject exchanges and cooperation, then can burst out some special sparks, and the price we have to pay, is just a little time and money, engaged in research, whether it is social science or science and engineering, which is not staying up time?!"

Wang Yun squinted at him, his facial expression did not change, "Although I don't understand scientific research, I also understand that all technologies come from the laboratory, but it doesn't mean that you can only get the technology through the laboratory, can't you spend money to buy it?

"Make technical reserves," Sun Yundong said with a smile, "Lao Wang, this is what you don't understand, in fact, I had similar ideas to you before, thinking that what you do must have results, and it is useful results, otherwise you are doing useless work."

But after soaking in this school for more than half a year, and communicating with them a few times in scientific research, I realized a truth, that is, there are no useless results, only technologies that cannot be used temporarily, as long as it is technology, even if it is useless now, it may one day in the future, it will burst out again with its due light, so the technology procurement you said can be had, and the independent research and development that Lao Li said is also necessary, anyway, it is not bad for money, so grab it with both hands. ”

Hearing this, Chen Dahe's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, anyway, it's not bad for money, then you want it!
