Chapter 110: CMOS
"Professor Bai Siwen, he is different from me, relatively better at talking, and is now the deputy director of the Department of Solid State Devices and Electronic Materials of the School of Telecommunications, but it is said that they have to change to microelectronics technology and electronic materials, anyway, the name has been changing, but the research things have always been those, such as the CMOS process research done by Lao Bai, it has been some years, but the investment in it has shrunk significantly recently, and he is not very happy. ”
The bicycle was swaying on the road, and the sun in the sky was even hotter, and Wang Zhengguo, who was close behind, listened carefully to the introduction and began to think in his heart.
In the end, it is a matter of money, and Professor Liu also mentioned that he wanted to introduce a friend who was doing scientific research to know him, and the other party wanted to apply for funding from scientific research funds.
If you want to talk about the money of the scientific research fund, it must be invested, but where to invest, this is the direction that Wang Zhengguo himself wants to think about and decide, to be honest, the small body of the current scientific research fund has to jump into the bottomless pit of the electronics industry, and in the case of high input and high output, a bad job will drag the entire fund aside.
But when Wang Zhengguo listened to the introduction and learned about the scientific research direction of Professor Bai Siwen, someone who was greatly tempted and scratched was itching in his heart, this is the CMOS process, the most popular process technology in the semiconductor industry in the future, as long as this thing can be figured out, it can really be regarded as a strong foundation for the monster of scientific research funds.
What is the CMOS process? Chinese full name: complementary metal oxide semiconductor, thirty years later, a little bit of PC computer people will know that this thing is to read and write the computer BIOS settings of the chip, can know this, even if the initial CMOS is used in the computer.
From another point of view, since Wang Zhengguo plans to be a powerful optical giant, and has thought about making a camera before, then people who understand digital cameras will know that this CMOS is also a powerful thing in the era of digital cameras, as the most critical optical sensor of digital cameras, the camera can convert the external light signal into electronic signals, relying on the CMOS sensor.
Considering the extremely important issue of this digital camera, someone is naturally interested in Professor Bai Siwen, who is doing CMOS research, after all, we are also going to be an optical giant, and the goal is to be able to beat the small book of Sony, Canon, these guys, compared to the current small body, it is necessary to lay out the digital camera era in advance.
Although the 80s with CMOS technology to make optical sensors is still far from mature technology, but that is the result of the development of the previous face step by step, but also under the large-scale encirclement of CCD sensors, at that time CMOS sensors can get how many development resources can be imagined, in fact, as long as Shuhang is willing to invest, find the right entry point for research and development and market, the future of the digital camera optical sensor industry is really hard to say.
Of course, the actual use of CMOS is far more than the above, the optical sensor used in digital cameras is just a side business of its CMOS, and there is a larger market that Wang Zhengguo can't think of at present, so he won't say much.
As for now, it is better to honestly do your job first, since you are planning to be an optical giant, then it is better to focus on CMOS optical sensors.
"CMOS? There are very few experts in this field in China, I thought that everyone was immersed in NMOS research, but I could pay a visit, if it is appropriate, maybe the other part of the scientific research fund next year can invest in him, I am still more optimistic about this thing, but I don't know if Professor Bai is willing to follow the direction of scientific research I request. ”
To put it mildly, the vast majority of people who studied CMOS technology in the 80s were not doing research on optical sensors, they were more engaged in the component market in the direction of computers, and it was not so easy to get an expert and scholar who had studied in a certain industry for several years to change the direction of research.
The relationship between Shu University and the Telecommunications College in the 80s was relatively friendly, and it was not yet the time when they tore each other apart in the 90s, and when they rode on the road, they could still see students with the emblems of the two schools coming and going, and it was not until after entering the academy that they could vaguely feel the military atmosphere in the background of the national defense academy, which was also familiar to Wang Zhengguo.
Since it is a school of telecommunications, it is naturally not as large as a comprehensive university like Shu University, and people specialize in one field, so it is very easy to find people, and you can see Professor Bai Siwen directly in the department office, which gives people the first impression that it is very Sven, and the scholarly atmosphere is very strong, and it is not as bureaucratic as other department heads in charge of administration.
Seeing that an old friend came to find him something, the other party first nodded to the professor, and then turned his head two or three sentences to explain to the student who came to ask for advice next to him, and then stood up and walked to the door of the office to receive him.
"Lao Liu, if you came to me today, you can't do anything, look at your red face. By the way, who is this little comrade?" I have long seen a newcomer coming over next to me, and eighty percent of them want to introduce themselves, but they are quite young.
"This is the person in charge of Wang Nanshou's scientific research fund I told you before, and Wang Zhengguo, the son of Director Wang, who is in charge of the project review and fund allocation of the scientific research fund next year.
In these years, only you have money and are willing to invest in scientific research, and the scientific researchers have seen that you are all as a baby, and I heard that this is the person in charge of the scientific research fund, although I was a little surprised by this young face, but there was no omission on the surface.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Wang Zhengguo: "Oh, it turned out to be the person in charge of the scientific research fund, Wang is really young and promising, come, let's go to the office over there and sit down to talk." ”
I had long learned from Lao Liu that the reason for the sudden wealth of the optical laboratory, which was all due to the scientific research fund, and later knew that there was a huge investment in the scientific research fund that had not been implemented in the specific direction, which aroused Professor Bai Siwen's interest, after all, the entire telecommunications engineering school has been mixed up in scientific research funds recently.
Take someone to sit down in a small office on the side, this is said to be an office, but look at the furnishings next to it, it looks like a room where some type of precision equipment is placed, two tables and chairs at the entrance, although the overall environment is average, but it is better to be quiet.
"Lao Bai, today I finally brought people over, the first thing I want to say is that this is not without a price, you have to help translate a document, this is something that can be solved in Shu University, I considered introducing you to know each other, so I handed this matter over to you, don't mess it up!"
As he spoke, he handed over the relevant application materials for the goggles to participate in the Red Dot Grand Prix to see if the business could be solved.
Wang Zhengguo wrote the Chinese version, it seemed that there was no pressure, it didn't take a few minutes, and he roughly read a whole set of materials, and he knew it in his heart: "No problem, it's just a competition material, right? When it comes to some special optical terms, I check the dictionary, if you are in a hurry to use it, you can translate it in three days of overtime." ”
