Guoxin Carbon-based Integrated Circuit Research Institute.

Female researcher Xie Yu is bringing the newly recruited research assistants to familiarize themselves with the environment of the institute while introducing them to the recent progress of the institute.

"Recently, we have successfully built a three-dimensional carbon-based toroidal oscillator circuit, and we have only theoretically inferred that carbon-based semiconductors are 1,000 times more energy efficient than silicon-based semiconductors, and have never been successfully confirmed in experiments, so this result is to confirm the feasibility of the theory from practice, for which I also wrote a paper......"

"I've read all the papers of your institute, and I came here to apply because of that paper!"

"Me too, I feel like I see the hope of domestic chips!"

The assistants in the back were very excited, and the topic of domestic chips was quickly opened by everyone.

Recently, the West's chip sanctions have been really embarrassing, especially after Warwick, a hegemon-level enterprise with excellent performance in the domestic communications industry and other fields, was cut off from supplying chips, which has caused many Chinese people to worry.

Today, the West can break the chips of a company, tomorrow it can break the first one, the day after tomorrow it can break the third one, and the day after tomorrow it may be the tenth!

This makes more people realize that chips, as an indispensable basic component in the human information age, must firmly grasp this technology in China!

With the previous domestic chip production capacity, only 14 nanometer process silicon-based chips can be produced, but if it is completely domestic, the production capacity will only be 90 nanometers.

It's really too much of a lithography machine and other weaknesses!

To this extent, it is okay to meet the needs of the military and general civilian use, but it is absolutely impossible to support the rapid development of the information and equipment industry.

If the information industry does not have the support of these high-performance chips, it will not be finished immediately, but it will definitely hurt the vitality.

Just like fighting on the battlefield, foreign companies are holding the best steel knives, and we are holding iron knives that we fight at home, how can we fight?

The domestic chip manufacturing industry must strive to catch up.

In this case, many people have their eyes on carbon-based chips.

Because the development of silicon-based chips has obviously encountered a bottleneck, and now it has reached the post-Moore era, and I don't know when, maybe ten years later, Moore's Law will completely fail.

Just as silicon replaced germanium, there will soon be a material to replace silicon.

Among the many possible semiconductor materials, carbon nanotubes are considered to be the most probable.

Although there have been various problems about carbon-based chips that have not been solved before, various breakthroughs in recent years have shown that carbon-based chips are not a utopian dream, it can indeed be realized, and as people envision, its performance completely surpasses that of silicon-based chips......

Several new assistants said that they are very optimistic about the future of carbon-based chips.

After all, judging from the current research results, they are already standing on the threshold of carbon-based chip industrialization, and as long as they take the last step, this kind of chip that wants to change the times will be mass-produced.

"But it's a pity, carbon-based chips for the current situation, still far water can't save the near fire, recently Warwick was sanctioned, we still have no way at all!" Someone suddenly sighed.

As if it had caused a chain reaction, several other assistants were a little frustrated: "Yes, although carbon-based chips are the future, we live in the present......"

"Don't be too discouraged, although we still have a long way to go before a truly practical carbon-based chip, we are confident that this road will be solved before two to three years." Xie Yu walked in front of several people, and from time to time he would turn around and say his opinion, and he would also say some words of encouragement.

"After the emergence of the first practical carbon-based chip, this technology will enter the track of rapid development, and at most ten years, carbon-based chips will begin to replace the position of silicon-based chips."

According to the current plan, the institute intends to complete the process development of 90nm carbon-based chips within two to three years.

The performance of carbon-based chips in this process is about equivalent to that of 28nm silicon-based chips.

Although it is not as good as the performance of the current mainstream silicon-based chips, the emergence of this chip will completely prove the feasibility of the carbon-based road.

After that, carbon-based chips are likely to enter a state similar to Moore's Law and enter a stage of rapid development......

At this moment, Xie Yu suddenly saw a person with a team hurriedly walking into a conference room.

She immediately noticed.

"What's wrong?" The research assistants behind him asked.

Xie Yu said: "That one just now is our dean, Academician Liu, I'll go over first to see what's going on." ”

So saying, she walked over alone.

The one inside was preparing for a meeting, she peeked in, saw a glasses senior brother from the same school, beckoned and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”

The glasses senior brother said: "I was just about to go to you, if you are not in a hurry, just put it down first, we have a new task, and now we have to prepare for a meeting." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, the dean just called us, we are in a hurry."

Hearing this, Xie Yu hurriedly settled the newcomer behind him and sat down at the conference table at the last moment of the meeting.

At this time, there was silence in the conference room, and the core members of the institute were all sitting at the table, but everyone stared blankly at the projection of the meeting, as if there was a treasure on it, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Xie Yu also looked over and saw the title on the PPT at a glance.

[14nm carbon-based chip fabrication process assumption]

In an instant, she was also stunned, and then her first reaction was outrageous!

Carbon-based chips made in 14nm?

Bragging in front of Lord Yama?

When it comes to carbon-based chips, they are the best in the world.

But now they are all still working hard to achieve carbon-based chips with 90nm process!

Who conceived this 14nm carbon-based chip fabrication process? How did you come up with it?

At this time, Academician Liu, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

"Everyone take a look at this information, and I only received it this morning."

"At the beginning, I was a little unimpressed, but the more I looked, the more surprised I became, if you follow the above ideas, maybe you can really get out of a broad road!"

The glasses senior brother who reminded Xie Yu took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and then whispered to Xie Yu: "14-nanometer carbon-based chip, I can't be dreaming, right?" ”

Xie Yu shook his head slightly, "I also suspect that I am dreaming......"

At this time, the PPT on the screen began to play, and everyone also paid great attention, watching intently, not letting go of a symbol on the screen.

It's just that the more they look at it, the more solemn their faces become......
