Chapter 325: Test Restart
The chip testing process is usually carried out by the wafer factory, packaging and testing factory or third-party testing company entrusted by the chip design company.
Specifically, it is divided into two business models: one is the chip design company, which designates specific test equipment to the chip testing company for testing according to the product type, function and design requirements.
If the product of the chip testing company is technically mature, the chip design company will directly entrust the testing company, and the testing company will select the corresponding equipment according to its own equipment.
Lu Yan himself exchanged for a mature technical solution, so the test and design link was directly entrusted to TSMC. There is no additional packaging and testing factory and third-party testing company.
As a result, the whole world is suspicious, and they suspect that the Kunlun chip is nonsense.
The good thing is that the originally unknown Kunlun chip company is instantly known to the whole country. Many consumers also know that Shenzhou Mobile uses a self-developed mobile phone chip to develop a new mobile phone.
On the Internet forum, many technology experts have popularized science from many aspects, how difficult it is to develop a chip with performance like Shenlong 920.
How long does it take for domestic chip companies to accumulate technology to achieve this step.
However, the loyal users of Shenzhou and the loyal fans of Lu Yan argue from the business logic that there is no reason for Shenzhou mobile phones and Kunlun chips to lie.
Rebus, an entrepreneurial boss who is earlier than Hangzhou Ma and Shenzhen Teng, has no reason to make up lies.
An entrepreneur and sports star like Lu Yan has no reason to risk his reputation to tell such a lie at the cost of destroying his reputation!
Then there were various arguments on the forum, and the relevant information was also on the hot search for many days.
The end result is that even the official can't stand it.
The Ministry of Information Industry sent people to coordinate Kunlun chips and domestic semiconductor companies to test the Shenlong 920 chip.
On the side of Central University, Wei Min came forward to lead the graduate class to complete the test work, and the cost was borne by Kunlun chips.
But in terms of third-party testing companies, Lu Yan doesn't want to spend money, adhering to the principle that whoever questions it, who spends money to test.
In the end, only Zhongtian Micro, which has the background of Beijing University, Ziguang Electronics, which belongs to Huaqing University, and Hualing Co., Ltd., which has the background of Fudan University, plus the microelectronics laboratory of the Central University, a total of four units are willing to test the finished product of the Shenlong 920 chip.
As soon as the list was announced, the whole network was in an uproar.
Some people say that this is Huaqing, Jingda, Fudan, and Lu Bu of the Three Heroes.
As a result, he was naturally scolded by netizens from four schools, who is Sanying, and which one is Lu Bu.
But the most discussed thing is Zhongtian Micro, its founder Yan Xiaolang, and the Hanxin incident of that year.
In January 06, someone publicly accused Professor Chen Jin, Dean of the School of Microelectronics, of Shanghai Jiaotong University, of counterfeiting the "Hanxin No. 1" invented on the BBS of Shuimu Tsinghua University.
The media soon intervened, making a difficult effort to pursue and verify. A month later, the investigation team concluded that the "Hanxin No. 1" fraud was basically true.
It turned out that Professor Chen Jin removed the label of the Motorola chip by "polishing", and then printed the label of "Hanxin" on the chip, "invented" the "Hanxin", and passed the evaluation and appraisal of Yan Xiaolang, president of the Institute of Microelectronics of Beijing University, leader of the integrated circuit design expert group of the National 863 Program, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academicians of the Academy of Engineering, and other expert group members, and then defrauded high amounts of state funds.
It was officially released on February 26, 2003.
The grand scene of the day: the deputy mayor of Modu, the director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Information Industry and many other leaders were present.
There are also the above-mentioned experts, who unanimously believe that "Hanxin No. 1" and its related design and application development platform have reached the international advanced level, which is an important milestone in the history of China's chip development.
Professor Chen Jin was instantly honored and awarded various honorary titles. In 04, he was specially appointed as a Changjiang Scholar by Shanghai Jiaotong University, and held several positions at the same time.
And in 06, after his tricks were exposed.
The projects he was responsible for were terminated, the relevant funds were recovered, and various positions were revoked. But none of those responsible have been held accountable in any way.
After this incident, the reputation of domestic chips really stinked for a long time.
It has made China's ambition to develop its own chips a laughing stock internationally, and it has also hurt other companies that really do practical things. For example, because of the Hanxin incident, it was rumored that "Hanxin Loongson China Core, Core Core Fraud", Loongson's scientific research funds were almost cut off, and finally it relied on the computing institute itself to raise funds to continue research and development .......
Why does Qualcomm not care about Shenzhou mobile phones with its own chips?
People don't believe that the Chinese can make any decent chips.
Jinling Municipal Government, why didn't you send senior officials to attend the Kunlun chip press conference!
People are afraid that your thing is fake, and it's a shame!
And when the Central University Microelectronics Laboratory, Zhongtian Microelectronics and Unisplendour Electronics announced the launch of tests on the Shenlong 920 chip. Many ordinary people have begun to pay attention to relevant news and wait for the test results to come out.
It's obviously a business, technology, and academic matter, but it was made into an entertainment incident by Lu Yan!
Hualing Co., Ltd., the major shareholder is Fudan Microelectronics Group. Founded in 2001, it is located in Shenghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park
On the first floor of an inconspicuous six-story building, hundreds of devices are running uninterruptedly, and the dense grids in the circular patterns on the connected electronic LCD screens are flashing red, red, green and green dots, which are the wafer test workshop running.
Zhao Jianhua, the technical director, accompanied several experts and passed by.
"Chip design and manufacturing is related to the development of the country and the take-off of the nation, and we can't let the past fraud happen again, and then shame China's chip industry!"
"You can rest assured, they are all technical elites, and they will definitely be tested well, and they will never let fakes get by. ”
"That's good!"
But as time goes by, several companies become more and more frightened, and the performance is no problem, almost reaching the world's leading level, how is this possible?
So, re-testing, it's still no problem!
On the side of the Central University, it was the first to announce the test results of the finished product.
Designed and developed by Kunlun Chip Company and produced by TSMC, the product performance of the Shenlong 920 chip meets the design requirements. The chip performance is stronger than that of other manufacturers' mainstream products, and has reached the world's leading level.
As soon as this news came out, the media exploded.
There are still people who suspect that the central university is biased in favor of its own students and want to know the test results of the other three.
But the three just didn't hear anything, didn't accept interviews, didn't stand up to refute, just kept silent.
In the end, the spokesman of the Ministry of Information Industry came forward and announced the test results of Zhongtian Microelectronics, Unisplendor Electronics and Hualing Co., Ltd. to the media.
In terms of design, it has reached the world's leading level!
