Chapter 44: Chip Disclosure

On July 3, Zhou Yu was at work when he suddenly received a call from Yuan Keqing.

Xinghuo Technology already has a complete online business application approval process, and Yuan Keqing can call, but he must have encountered an unexpected thing and has no time to go through the process.

"Manager Yuan, is there another problem in the factory?" Zhou Yu answered the phone and asked.

"Mr. Zhou, this time it has nothing to do with the factory, it was CCTV that suddenly sent an interview request, wanting to interview the graphene chip manufacturing process.

They want to get permission to interview as soon as possible, please ask if they will agree to CCTV's interview request. Yuan Keqing reported.

"This is a good thing, CCTV can promote our chips, the authority of the news and the advertising effect of CCTV this platform, which is much stronger than our advertising.

But keep in mind that the simple process of the production line allows reporters to shoot.

But there are some things that need to be kept secret and must not be photographed, such as the internal structure of the etching machine and its program for encoding the chip.

Before the interview, you should make it clear to the reporter that if CCTV does not agree, our company will not accept the interview. Zhou Yu thought about it and explained.

"Please rest assured that Mr. Zhou, I will check the reporter's shooting video and portable smart devices in detail, and I will not let the confidential technology leak." Yuan Keqing immediately assured.

As soon as Zhou Yu put down the phone, Wang Jian walked in and reported: "Mr. Zhou, the CCTV face-to-face column group invited you and Academician Tian Kai to conduct an exclusive interview.

The interview time is set for 10 o'clock this morning, and if you agree to the interview invitation, I will reply to the invitation from CCTV. ”

When Zhou Yu heard the news, he understood that this was the country's key propaganda for graphene chips.

"May I ask if Academician Tian Kai has time, and we can only agree to the interview when he is free." Zhou Yu commanded.

He quickly waited for Academician Tian Kai's reply, and he rushed to the CCTV Building with Academician Tian to record the program.

After the CCTV news broadcast finished reporting on national events, the host suddenly said in the 17th minute of the broadcast: "Chips are the cornerstone of the information industry and an important lifeblood related to the national economy and people's livelihood."

Under the great attention of the government, Xinghuo Technology has successfully developed high-performance graphene chips and has begun mass production. ”

The camera immediately switched to the interview video in front of him, and the reporter came to a large industrial park and walked into a seemingly ordinary factory.

"I'm CCTV reporter Li Wen, this is the Xinghuo Technology Chip Factory in Yanjing Daxing District High-tech Industrial Park, and graphene chips with complete intellectual property rights are produced here."

The camera then switches to the graphene chip production line to film the whole process from graphite powder to graphene chip.

The dark graphite powder enters the reactor, and soon the engineers extract the neat graphene wafer, which is sent to the etching machine to etch the semi-finished graphene chips, which are finally packaged into formal chips.

When the chip was etched, the camera switched to the reporter's interview with Yuan Keqing.

The reporter asked: "I saw that when the graphene wafer came out of the etching machine, it formed blocks of different sizes, are they all the same chip?"

Yuan Keqing took the opportunity to promote: "The size of the same chip is the same, and the error of our factory is no more than 10 microns, of course, these are chips with different functions."

The batch of chips we produce is for Huawei's communication chips, and they need a small amount of chips, and a variety of different chips can be processed at one time. ”

CCTV reporter Li Wen continued to ask: "I observe your graphene chip production line, it is different from the conventional chip production line, is there any difference between the two?"

Yuan Keqing immediately replied: "Graphene chips are carbon-based chips, and other chips now belong to silicon-based chips.

These are two completely different substances, and of course the processing method will be different. ”

Yuan Keqing took the just-processed graphene chip and introduced it to everyone in front of the camera: "This is the chip we have processed, and our graphene chip has a fast processing speed and high output."

The news broadcast reported on the graphene chip processing process, which took five minutes.

When the news was broadcast, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

With the huge reputation accumulated over the decades, the news network also represents the highest credibility of the official media, and after being broadcast on this platform, it almost represents the authenticity of the matter.

CCTV news client, netizens immediately excitedly sent barrage.

"Awesome to my country"

"The chip processing is simple, click, like a stamp, and the chip is processed."

"I was delayed by the game before, otherwise I could have been on it."

"Xinghuo Technology can also produce chips for communication equipment, this kind of chip must be independent, otherwise it will be miserable to be stuck by European and American countries like ZTE."

"The equipment of the entire chip processing plant is brand new, I didn't even see a familiar equipment, the most important thing is that there is no lithography machine, is there no need for lithography machine for chip processing now?"

The official public account of Xinghuo Technology released an article detailing the performance of Fuxi type 1 chip and Nuwa type 1 chip.

For the first time, the performance of the Pangu-1 supercomputer was publicly disclosed, and dozens of Pangu-1 supercomputers were advertised to form a data center and supercomputer rental services were provided.

Tian Kai, director of the Xinghuo Graphene Chip Research Institute, clarified the basic principles of graphene chip design and announced that graphene chips have excellent editability and can perfectly transplant any design and function of silicon-based chips.

Xinghuo Graphene Chip Research Institute undertakes the design of silicon-based chips transplanted with carbon-based chips.

Xinghuo Technology's article was sent out, which immediately caused a sensation among chip professionals.

In a WeChat group, a group of experts in the field of chips are discussing this matter.

Zhu Wei (Chinese Academy of Sciences): "I didn't expect Xiao Tian to be so talented, he was delayed by a group of bureaucrats and interest groups, if it wasn't discovered by Xinghuo Technology, what a loss for our country."

Gao Jin (SMIC): "As soon as the graphene chip comes out, does it represent the rhythm of the silicon-based chip being completely cool?"

Li Shizhang (Tsinghua University): "Reply to Gaojin, now that silicon-based chips have reached the peak of theoretical values, carbon-based chips have just started, and the gap between the two is too big.

If silicon-based chips do not make major technological breakthroughs in the short term, they will definitely be replaced by carbon-based chips.

In fact, silicon-based chips have no chance, and now this period of time is the last glorious period of traditional chips, and the future will definitely belong to the era of quantum chips. ”

He Weiman (ZTE): "@谭英炅, Lao Tan came out to chat, the news broadcast said that you entrusted Xinghuo Technology to process special chips for communication, is this true?"

Tan Yingjiong (Huawei): "I'm so sorry, I'm busy!" The news network is true, we have reached a strategic cooperation with Xinghuo Technology, and now the chip design work has been completed, and I am verifying the effect of the new communication chip. ”

He Weiman (ZTE): "Reply to Tan Yingjiong, bless you, when the chip is successful, don't forget to pull your brothers."
