1458 Failure or Success?
The working principle of the immersion lithography machine is also very simple, in fact, it is to find the original dry lithography machine and add a layer of water in the middle, and then use the refraction of light to improve the working accuracy of the dry lithography machine that has reached the limit by more than ten times.
To put it simply, it's ...... Well, hell how it works, we don't need to figure him out, we just need to know that now the world's first immersion lithography machine is working.
Although this is only a half-finished product, there is no doubt that it is working and making history.
However, the process of making history is actually quite boring, because the whole process is very slow, about 20 minutes.
And the process itself is even more boring, if you look at it with the naked eye, you can actually only see a single light, and the whole process of engraving, unless you pass through a special instrument, you can't see it at all.
But there is only one piece of equipment, which is in Ni Guangnan's hands, and Boss Jia can only see this kind of light, and there is no change in 20 minutes, and Boss Jia can't even know how the experiment is going.
Of course, as time passed, Boss Jia gradually saw the clues, because the expressions of the researchers who were originally elated in the laboratory dimmed, and their faces were full of disappointment and pain.
There is no doubt that this experiment, which is destined to go down in history, ended in failure.
Well, it seems that this time our Boss Jia's protagonist aura did not take effect.
"What's wrong?" After Ni Guangnan and Lin Benjian came out together, Boss Jia immediately went up and asked.
"The whole monocrystalline silicon is ruined!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "There is nothing engraved on it, not even a transistor, all of them are chaotic in nature, we have failed!" ”
"I should be a big deal, failure is the mother of success, what is this!" Boss Jia smiled and said with relief.
Although the failure is a little disappointing, Boss Jia still has a lot of time and money, and everything is not in a hurry!
"We've failed a thousand times, but this time was completely different!" Ni Guangnan's expression was even worse, and the word confusion was even written on his wrinkled face.
Of course, Boss Jia knew that this failure was very bad, because since Ni Guangnan was excited to let himself visit the experiment, it meant that Ni Guangnan was at least 90% sure that the experiment would be successful, otherwise there was no reason to call him, the big boss, over.
Do you want to embarrass yourself by watching them?
But the fact is that the experiment failed, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to Ni Guangnan.
"The most important thing is that we can't find the reason for the failure!" Lin Benjian on the side said, "We have calculated everything, there is no problem with all the data, I even think we have a 99% success rate, but we failed, we don't even know what the reason for failure is now!" ”
"This ......" Boss Jia smiled, "I can't find it now, it doesn't mean that I won't be able to find it in the future, maybe a certain data is miscalculated, or maybe there is still dust, everything is possible, isn't it?" ”
"You're talking nonsense!" Ni Guangnan rolled his eyes, "Come on, let you see that we are in trouble, you have nothing to do, you can go back and continue to be your big boss and get your Golden Dragon Award!" ”
"Don't, I've just arrived, just drive me away, I'll take a look at the experiment records before leaving!" Boss Jia said helplessly.
"Look at the experimental records, I'm afraid you can't even understand the basic publicity...... Ni Guangnan was halfway through his words, and suddenly became dumb, he suddenly remembered that Boss Jia, a student, was not accepted through the back door, but an apprentice who passed the exam only after passing the exam.
Boss Jia himself is actually a super genius no less than Liu Nian, and even graphene was discovered by Boss Jia, but this guy's commercial achievements are so dazzling that he ignores the character of Boss Jia and a genius scientist.
"Then you can take a look, maybe we will send you, the stooge!" Ni Guangnan nodded, then took Boss Jia to change his clothes and re-enter the laboratory.
At this time, the people in the laboratory had already walked a lot, and when they saw Boss Jia changing clothes, they were curious, and these people came in again in an uproar.
Boss Jia walked straight to the front of the test equipment, saw the monocrystalline silicon for experimentation, and then directly used an electric microscope to observe the form of this monocrystalline silicon.
As Ni Guangnan said, although there are indeed many lines engraved on this piece of monocrystalline silicon, all the lines are irregular, like chaotic wool.
Unlike qualified chips, which are marked with one after another, exactly the same transistor.
Ordinary people can conclude that it has failed when they see this piece of monocrystalline silicon for the first time, but Boss Jia has been carefully observing the shape of the entire monocrystalline stack and the lines on it for about five minutes, while constantly measuring the data.
"Why, this guy actually found out?" Seeing Boss Jia's state of being in a trance, Ni Guangnan was a little surprised.
And the surrounding researchers were also very surprised, is this Chairman Jia so able to pretend, he just pretends to take a look, what is he doing so seriously!
Isn't it interesting to pretend to be able to understand it?
Of course, although these researchers muttered so much in their hearts, on the surface, they still looked at Boss Jia with admiration and respect, after all, people pay and they work part-time.
"How's it going, is there any result?" After Boss Jia finally took his eyes off the electron microscope, Ni Guangnan asked curiously.
"Of course, I have a huge discovery!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What a huge discovery?" Ni Guangnan asked in surprise.
"That is, in fact, our experiment did not fail, our experiment was successful!" Boss Jia opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations to you, my teacher, you have made history and successfully used immersion lithography technology to create a 70nm chip!" ”
"Are you kidding me?" Ni Guangnan couldn't wait to have a ruler at hand when he heard it, and he could ruthlessly put it in the palm of Boss Jia's hand, this guy actually dared to fool himself into getting a teacher.
"I'm not kidding you!" Boss Jia pointed to the picture of the optical microscope and said, "I measured just now, although none of the transistors were successful, but all the lines were at the level of 70nm." ”
"This means that we have succeeded, we can engrave 70nm lines on monocrystalline silicon, but we still have a little problem with the control lines!"
"You are a strong word...... Ni Guangnan originally wanted to accuse Boss Jia of being strong, but after Boss Jia's little bit, Ni Guangnan found that Boss Jia seemed to be right, the level of 70nm has indeed been reached, and the biggest obstacle to the dry lithography machine has been broken through, and what they encountered was just the problem of not being able to control the lines!
