As for the gap between reality and ideals, if you really have to wait until you understand the situation, you must still have to bow your head, and it is impossible to continue to be hard knowing that you can't do anything, which is completely unreasonable!

"Well, I originally thought that Kaiyang Semiconductor could solve the process problem to ensure the development of new T/R components, but I didn't expect to encounter the obstacle of gallium arsenide single crystal materials, and the accumulation of difficulties layer by level is indeed not something that can be solved in a short period of time. ”

Is gallium arsenide important?

There is no doubt that this thing plays a pivotal role in the field of semiconductor microwave devices, in the military, it can be used as phased array radar components and other microwave radio frequency devices in the production, and the civilian side is even more incredible, in satellite television broadcasting, mobile phone communication and other wireless communication equipment, and even ultra-high-speed computers and optical fiber communication and other systems have its figure.

To put it simply, although gallium arsenide semiconductor and silicon semiconductor belong to two different technical branches, they are the most marketable semiconductor integrated circuit materials in the future.

After all, the importance of this thing is indeed not ordinary, whether it is in the country or in the name, you should keep the technology in the hands of your own people to be safe.

This is still thinking about whether to invest in gallium arsenide semiconductors, but the chief engineer Su over there is a little excited, Kaiyang Semiconductor can actually solve the current serious backward semiconductor processing technology problem in China, which I haven't heard.

"I've heard about Kaiyang Semiconductor, but in terms of process technology, it seems that they are still using mature technology in China to produce various products, right?"

As long as Kaiyang Semiconductor has not launched the domestic 65C02 processor, the impression of this company in the industry can only be regarded as a cassette production company, and it is far from being world-class in semiconductor technology.

Chief Engineer Su and Kaiyang Semiconductor have almost never been in contact, and the reason why they can know that there is such a company at this time is because when the Shudu government introduced the high-tech industrial park before, there was also an introduction to this semiconductor integrated circuit company, so that it would not be smeared.

According to the rhetoric he heard when he introduced Kaiyang Semiconductor before, Chief Engineer Su naturally did not think that this company could have world-class process experience accumulation, that is, because Wang Zhengguo just said this, which made people have some expectations, so he asked about the above words.....

"We have been supporting domestic semiconductor integrated circuit processing equipment, but Kaiyang's most advanced technology is not the cassette production line, and now Kaiyang's most advanced technology is imported from the United States, mainly for the production of microprocessors used in computers, so it is not much worse than the mainstream level of foreign countries, and the distance is only about five years. ”

The 65C02 processor is the technology of five years ago, and Kaiyang Semiconductor can successfully master the key to its large-scale production, which is naturally regarded as a gap with foreign technology within five years.

In the mixed-level semiconductor industry, although the 607 Institute is making radar products, it has invested not much attention in the microprocessor, and modern radar also needs to use computers to be responsible for the early data processing of radar.

"Microprocessors? You can still produce this kind of thing, I underestimated it before, so we should really sit down and talk. "Chief Engineer Su was really surprised this time, which was really completely unexpected.

After seeing the phased array radar of the legendary 607 Institute, there is no need to continue visiting, it is better to go back to the office and sit down and talk about things slowly.

It is expected that within two years after tomorrow, Yaoguang will be able to launch a new computer model, which will be far more advanced than the current Yaoguang 1, which will bring a revolutionary user experience. ”

The so-called revolutionary user experience, it is certainly not so easy to understand when you say it now, but fortunately, this time everyone is not talking about Yaoguang computer.

"The equipment we have introduced at present can be regarded as an international quasi-first-line technology, and we are also cooperating with the Shudu Institute of Optics and Machinery, and are going all out to develop newer process technology, and realize the localization of processing and production equipment, so in terms of technology, the 607 Institute is generally not worried. ”

The supporting equipment industry of the semiconductor industry must be supported by a large enough demand for the semiconductor industry in order to develop, that is, the giant of Kaiyang Semiconductor, in order to be qualified as a major customer to support the domestic equipment industry chain, thereby driving the prosperity of the entire industry.

Although there is a difference between silicon semiconductors and gallium arsenide semiconductors, in terms of the most basic processing equipment, the demand for the two is actually not large, and they are both processed by lithography machines and etching machines.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhengguo has the confidence to say that the 607 Institute can develop products with confidence, and there is no need to worry about the process.

Of course, Chief Engineer Su is a person who understands, after hearing this, he is actually very satisfied with what Wang Zhengguo said, the most important process of semiconductor integrated circuits, the hard bone of Kaiyang Semiconductor's market demand to take the lead in tackling key problems, I don't think there is too much to worry about.

"This is naturally the best, the process technology can be greatly improved, even if we do not do phased array radar for the time being, it is also quite beneficial to the development of flat panel slot radar, I hope to go to Kaiyang to visit and exchange, and I hope to be able to arrange it." ”

What is the meaning of visiting, this is naturally needless to say, it is nothing more than to see what level of Kaiyang Semiconductor's technology is, and then the 607 Institute will develop radar according to the existing process technology, which is a prerequisite for all industrial design.

For the radar business of the 607 Institute, is the role of Kaiyang Semiconductor only a precision electronic component foundry?

Of course, the facts are not limited to this, Chief Engineer Su has not forgotten another news he heard before, this Kaiyang Semiconductor seems to have the ability to develop microcomputer processors, which is also equally important.

"By the way, if Kaiyang can still develop a microcomputer processor, then the development of a microprocessor for radar data signal processing may be in place, this thing has no experience in China at all, and now as far as I know, it seems that only you can do it. ”

The processing of radar signals has always been a very tricky problem, and if it is a ground or ship radar, it is easy to say, and even the radar installed on a large transport flight platform can still have room for turnover.

The above platforms can completely relax the requirements for radar weight, volume, power consumption, etc., and the use of medium-sized and small computers can meet the data processing requirements.

For example, the 7010 troops, the entire radar is directly flattened on the hill to install the antenna array, and the supporting underground command center will not be smaller than the large shopping mall, and these radars also have data signal processing requirements, but people can directly use the mainframe or medium-sized machine.

But the airborne fire control radar used for fighters is different, as far as the small space in the nose is concerned, the weight and volume are naturally severely limited, and the power supply of the fighter is not abundant, and the power consumption is of course as low as possible.

In this way, to be able to meet the data processing of the airborne fire control radar used on the fighter, it seems that the only way to do it is to have a highly integrated microcomputer processor, and there is no other choice.

"Military-grade microprocessor? No problem, Kaiyang Semiconductor is already under development, and this Chief Engineer Su can naturally rest assured. ”
