Here, the semiconductor process laboratory of the Flint Research Institute is being established.

At this moment, Chen Hui, director of the Chip and System Research Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, closed the door of his office and locked it.

On the table, there is a box that has not yet been opened.

Chen Hui knew what was inside.

He's been waiting for this thing for two months.

Chen Hui looked at the box, as if it was a Pandora's box.

By now, he could still stop and not go on.

But since Chen Hui had already thought about it, he would not hesitate any longer.

He opened the box and looked at the 10 chips neatly placed in front of him, his face calm.

He took out one of the chips and rested it lightly on the flannel.

It's a very delicate chip, with 144 feet neatly arranged. On the vinyl, printed, there is also the words DSP56858.

He gently opened the drawer, took out a piece of coarse sandpaper from it, and focused on gently sanding the letters.

His movements were so focused that he didn't dare to hurt a single stitch. The intensity of his polishing is also very gentle, just like this, down to the ground, and gradually polishing the current words.

It had taken more than half an hour, and his arms and wrists were already very sore from the continuous concentration control.

It's hard, it's focused, it's gentle.

But after all, the words on the chip are no longer legible.

He let the chip go alone and carefully placed it in the safe in his office.

The office was quiet again, and he sat quietly in his chair, his eyes closed, his wrists gently turning, and his body relaxed.

"Knock knock. There was a knock on the door.

Chen Hui let out a sound as if he had just woken up, then rubbed his eyes with his hands and went over to open the door.

"Director Chen, are you taking a nap?"

Chen Hui patted his face: "It's okay, you say, what's new?"

"Deputy Director Jia asked me to come to you, saying that the verification is almost complete, and asking you how you are prepared for tape-out, packaging and testing. ”

Chen Hui nodded: "I'll tell him this in the afternoon, and you guys will do a good job of the work you are responsible for first." ”

"Okay!"

The person who came to pass the word was just a very young master's student, working in the laboratory. Although he didn't know what the small piece of work he did meant for chip research and development, he was very excited.

And now that the R&D work is coming to an end, I heard other brothers and mentors say that the next step is tape-out, and the system has been developed, so that the chip can play a real role.

Deputy Director Jia, who is in charge of integrated circuit design, and Deputy Director Nie, who is in charge of system development, are both masters that Director Chen has introduced through his contacts abroad. Although it has only been a few months since entering the research center, it has already played a huge role, greatly advancing the research and development progress of the chip.

If there were no three of them, the entire Huaxin plan would only be in accordance with the original plan, spending a full two years to try the courage first, study and research first.

Now, just over a year, the project has made great progress.

Master's students feel that their future is very bright, and they are still worried about their thesis, degree, and teaching position in such a cutting-edge research center.

Chen Hui watched the master's students leave excitedly, showing his usual gentle smile.

As he passed by the laboratory, he was talking to everyone and cheering up.

In the eyes of the ordinary R&D staff of the research center, Chen Hui is a very ambitious and motivated pragmatic leader.

Since Chen Hui came to Jiaotong University to take charge of the Huaxin project, he devoted himself to research and development for four months and completed the writing of the source code. Because of this, the chip laboratory has merged with the system laboratory to establish the chip and system research center.

Since the establishment of the research center, especially after the completion of the planning and the introduction of two deputy directors in June, the progress has been very smooth and exceeded everyone's expectations.

Chen Hui naturally received more respect.

He walked all the way out of the research center and to the office of the director of the computer department.

There was a knock on the office door, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Chen retreated into the door and said with a smile, "Director Xie, I'll report to you on the progress." ”

Xie Dan is in the prime of life, although he has a slight sloping top, but he is very spiritual. He stood up from behind his desk, invited Chen Hui to sit on the sofa, and asked in surprise, "Is there any new progress?"

Chen Hui said: "Yes, after several months and the hard work of more than 30 R&D personnel, the verification of the chip is now almost complete. In order to gain time, it is time to start contacting the tape-out and packaging test units. ”

Xie Dan was overjoyed and asked directly: "You must have thought about it, tell me, how to do it?"

Chen Hui said humbly: "For the sake of insurance, I want to go together with the two sets of plans." The first set of solutions, of course, is purely domestic, and the three strongest companies in Huhai, Huaxin International, Huhai Weiyu and Huhai IC Design and Research Center are responsible for tape-out, packaging and testing respectively. But in addition, I also want to find a powerful company abroad to do it, so as to ensure that the tape-out can be successful at the first time. ”

"Of course, it would cost more money. However, if our chip can be successfully taped out, it means that we have reached the world-class level in high-end DSP chips. After all, Huaxin International has just been put into production, and its technology has lagged behind the world's top level for nearly ten years. ”

Xie Dan nodded heavily: "You are right, as long as the chip is independently developed by us, even if it is successfully taped out abroad, it can't change the fact that it is a domestic chip!

Chen Hui smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, in that case, I will contact you first." ”

Xie Dan took his hand and said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, thank you for your hard work." If you need my help, just speak!"

Chen Hui said a few words of greeting, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

Looking at his departing back, Xie Dan was in a good mood.

Last year, I met Chen Hui at a friend's house, and the two had a conversation, and Xie Dan found out that this was the talent he had always dreamed of.

Ph.D. in computer engineering from the United States.

He served as a senior principal engineer and chip design manager at Motorola Semiconductor headquarters, and has presided over the new product development and project management of a number of SoC system integration chips.

When I returned to China, I was looking for a suitable opportunity to carry out research on domestic chips and round my heart to serve the country.

Xie Dan decided right away, and he wanted to introduce Chen Hui into the department.

The department needs to expand its team to promote the relevant projects in the integrated circuit country.

At that time, I just had such a simple hope, but I didn't expect that Chen Hui's ability was really so strong.

Some of the original topics were pushed by him to break through, the Huaxin project was approved, the source code was completed, and the chip planning was completed...... Step by step, it has come to the present.

Xie Danqu couldn't help but imagine, is it possible to complete this project next year?

Thinking of Academician Huang, who had just won the highest National Science and Technology Award last year, Xie Dan's heart was warm. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Life of Rebirth, Fight for Literature" for free for the first time.
