Chapter 1461 - Technical Problems of Plagiarists

Boss Jia gave an order, and the researchers, who were already on vacation, could only insist on continuing to fight and continue to check ASML's equipment.

After hearing this order, many researchers in the center expressed their dissatisfaction, because they felt that ASML, as an internationally renowned large enterprise and the most qualified Western-run enterprise, would not engage in this kind of method.

There is nothing surprising about this mentality, in the eyes of the people of this era, the West is the light of civilization, and it will never do such a thing.

However, they still obediently followed Boss Jia's order to check ASML's equipment, and then in less than a day, they collectively shut their mouths.

Because they found out in the first test that the device is completely different from the official description in many sizes, for example, there is a lens, which is marked as 0.2547 lens, but it is actually 0.2560, a difference of 0.0003.

This size error seems to be very normal, after all, an error of 1/10000 is inevitable.

But this is not a lathe that costs tens of thousands of dollars, but a lithography machine that costs hundreds of millions of dollars, especially the core components in it, the accuracy requirements of 1/10,000 level are only basic, and many other accuracy requirements are at the nanometer level.

After two days of testing, it was found that there were a total of 13 errors that did not match the labeling, and all of these 13 places were the most important parts related to the normal operation and operation of the lithography machine.

Similarly, these are the data of the three places, all of which were copied by Ni Guangnan without hesitation, and became the size of Daqian's own experiment.

Soon, a group of programmers transferred from Bilibili arrived and began to check the control program of the lithography machine.

In fact, to be honest, ASML's data problems on the device are still very hidden, and they all need to use special equipment, and it takes a lot of time and energy to detect the problems that will be discovered, and normal people will never check them under normal circumstances.

However, the program of the equipment is very simple, and the program team has found out the problems in the code in just half a day after picking up the entire code.

There are 25 hidden problems in this, all of which are secretly modified by the set parameters on the surface.

For example, there is a data set parameter of 22.33333 on the bright side, but it becomes 22.44444 during the operation of the program, which makes you think that the data required for this part of the function is 22.33333 when it is running normally, and then copy this data into the lithography machine developed by yourself.

In the end, when the researchers of the entire research institute saw these hidden methods, they were all sweating profusely, and they had no idea that all the data they were accustomed to in conducting experiments and working were fake.

"These guys, it's so shameless!" Seeing these results, Ni Guangnan's straight hammer table, if it weren't for Boss Jia's head not being bright enough to find out the reason as quickly as possible, then he probably wouldn't be able to find out where the error came from in his life.

Who would have thought that all the data that can be used normally on ASML on a daily basis is actually wrong. If Ni Guangnan were to find the problem by himself, I am afraid that he would only suspect that there was a problem with his own design or material development, and he would not think that there was a problem with the ASML data.

"There's nothing shameless about it, on the contrary, it's not wrong for people to do this, after all, it's to protect their intellectual property rights!" Boss Jia didn't smile at ASML, but said very approvingly, "If I can, I really want to dig up the talents who do this anti-copycat system, these error data he designed are so perfect, directly stuck in the position of the 70nm node!" ”

"When you make chips below 70nm, although these data will cause the yield rate to be too low, they can also be used normally. The only thing that can be done at 70nm will not succeed, so you will think that there is something wrong with you, not that there is a problem with these data, after all, all the data have been verified in previous experiments and production! ”

"In my opinion, even if these forged data are not immersed in the lithography machine for more than ten years, and there are grandmaster-level abilities, they can't be designed at all, after all, the difficulty of designing these fake data is not much worse than the difficulty of finding out the real data, this is really a talent!"

Seeing that his apprentice did not scold ASML, but instead fell in love with other people's anti-copycat engineers, Ni Guangnan was speechless in an instant.

However, what Boss Jia said is actually not wrong, ASML's data is originally confidential, which can only be used and cannot be used, and taking these data to make his own lithography machine is equivalent to smashing other people's pots with other people's shovels, which is indeed a very despicable thing.

There is nothing wrong with ASML's anti-copycat methods, it is actually its own thief who is wrong.

Thinking of this, Ni Guangnan couldn't help but blush, but soon returned to normal. After all, I don't do these things for myself, but for the entire Huaxia electronics industry.

A thief is a thief, and if he can steal the prosperity and strength of the motherland, it will all be worth it.

"Teacher, since the problem has been identified, let's let everyone go and rest, give a few more days of vacation, make up for all the energy consumed for this while, and then recalculate and measure the data. Whether it is the data that has been found to be problematic or the data that has no problems, all the data will be re-measured and used after confirming the accuracy! Boss Jia said.

"In that case, we will consume at least another year or more!" Ni Guangnan sighed, re-measuring the data is simple, as long as it is measured on the ASML device.

But the problem is that a lot of data cannot be measured, and can only be obtained by relying on experiments, so the time cost is very huge, and the equipment that has been successfully developed will be delayed for another year.

"It's just a year, I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not bad for this year! The key is not to make the same mistake again, in addition, we must also keep an eye on it, don't take a lot of data directly, we also have to test it ourselves, otherwise it will be too much of a headache to appear again this year's oolong! Boss Jia said with a smile.

"Alright, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" Ni Guangnan gave Boss Jia a blank look, but he remembered this.

After this incident, Daqian's research center no longer believes in any foreign technology and data, and has developed a good habit of verifying it by itself.

For example, it's like copying a paper during an exam, after Daqian copied the answers, he followed the idea of solving the problem and calculated it himself, and found a lot of mistakes, and many of them were not even intentional, but mistakes that the other party himself thought was correct.

So that the plagiarism was very good, and the best results in the test were higher than the plagiarized object, so that there was no gap between the copied people, and I just thought that Daqian was really stronger than myself, otherwise how could the plagiarist's score be higher than the score of the plagiarized person!
