Chapter 285: Small Batch Production
Li Hao anxiously waited for the test results of the chip, and before he knew it, his sideburns were already soaked, and beads of sweat continued to flow.
When he felt a touch on his cheeks, he found that Zhou Yunsheng was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
Zhou Yunsheng asked worriedly: "Brother Hao, it's raining outside, and it's not hot in this house, why are you sweating so much." Could it be that something is wrong with the body? ”
"Yunsheng, I'm too nervous. It will get better when the results come out. We can reach such good cooperation conditions with the country, and the lithography machine is a very important bargaining chip.
Why now it is only the approximate framework of the contract, and not the immediate conclusion of the contract.
It's because the official is also waiting for the news of the lithography machine, and they don't know if we can really develop the lithography machine. After all, chip processing is not a lithography machine, everything is closed. Li Hao said with emotion.
Guo Jianhao looked at the lithography machine that was still processing chips, and he said confidently: "I believe that the lithography machine will be successful." The most vulnerable part of the lithography machine today is our grating material.
As long as there are no errors in the encoder material, there should be no big problem. The structure of the other components has been tested over time.
It's just that our grating material is still being used in lithography machines for the first time, and we only conducted experiments in the laboratory before, and we don't know what will happen in the actual operation process. ”
After Li Hao saw the lithography machine processing for a while, he stopped moving.
He said with some regret: "The use time is too short, and I only hope that the performance of the processed chip will meet the requirements." Even if the success rate is lower, there is no problem. This proves that there is no problem with the structure of the lithography machine design. ”
"Mr. Li, our lithography machine is not damaged, and it has stopped working now because there is no material supply." Sun Kai explained after urgently checking the information.
Li Hao pointed to the chip that had been processed and transmitted, and he asked suspiciously: "I remember that I have prepared enough materials to process 500 chips, and now that the chips have just come out of sixty or seventy pieces, how can it be said that the materials are insufficient." ”
"Mr. Li, our lithography machine can not only process chips, we also apply some other technologies.
For example, when the lithography machine finishes processing the chip, it can detect whether the chip is in good condition. Throw the defective chip into the scrap port. Sun Kai explained the problem simply.
Li Hao said in surprise: "I didn't expect our lithography machine to have such good functions, but I found that the speed of our lithography machine processing chips is too fast." ”
As they were talking, a virtual light curtain appeared in front of them, and the parrot came out of it with its head shaking.
After this special effect is finished, it shows a message from the chip tester.
Li Hao directly skipped the data of the chip test, and he looked directly at the results.
"The chip submitted for inspection is qualified."
These six short words contain the hard work of hundreds of people in the lithography machine project team.
When Li Hao saw the news, he said happily: "You have solved the problem of lithography machine and officially processed a standard smart chip." I'm so proud of you. ”
As the news spread, there were enthusiastic cheers in the laboratory. The feelings that the researchers had been depressed for many days were expressed at this moment.
In this laboratory, they broke through a high-tech equipment blocked by European and American countries against China.
This also means that in the future, Huaxia can continue to produce domestic chips for use in various fields of society.
Li Hao looked at Sun Kai's face with joy that he couldn't hide. He felt that Sun Kai should be cooled down.
The participants of the project are happy and carnival, which helps to promote cohesion between them. But top managers must remain calm at all times. so that no major mistakes and omissions occur.
"Manager Sun, congratulations on the success of the lithography machine. But you can also see that the yield of his chips is only a little more than one-tenth of the current one-third.
You should try your best to solve the weakness of the lithography machine, at least achieve more than half of the yield rate. Otherwise, the cost of industrial production of this chip is too high. ”
When Sun Kai heard Li Hao's words, he immediately calmed down. Restrained the joy in his heart, and said calmly: "Mr. Li rest assured, this experiment has verified the correctness of the structure of the lithography machine.
The issue of machining yield can be achieved through the cooperation between the individual parts, so that they can achieve a desired result. The yield rate will naturally come up. ”
Li Hao saw that the lithography machine had been successful, and he asked Sun Kai: "How long will it take for the lithography machine to be officially put into production, and how long will it take for this type of lithography machine to be processed." ”
Sun Kai almost didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Now that the various structures of the lithography machine have been designed, the rest of the work is a matter of details. These problems are well solved, and in a month or two, it will be possible to produce a full-fledged model.
When we have successfully developed the product, we ask the group to coordinate our cooperation with other companies in the group. Help them set up the production line of the lithography machine.
As for the current manufacture of our lithography machines, in addition to some standard accessories, other parts need to be specially customized through 3D printing and other technologies.
Without delaying the research and development of our project team, a lithography machine can be assembled in a week. ”
After Li Hao heard Sun Kai's introduction, he nodded and said, "One lithography machine a week, this is enough for us to use." ”
When Zhou Yunsheng heard Li Hao's words, she asked suspiciously: "Brother Hao, do you want to give the country a lithography machine?" ”
"This must be given, otherwise our cooperation will not be able to continue. If they don't get a lithography machine, how can they believe that we have developed a lithography machine. Li Hao said simply.
He changed his words and said: "But this is not the main purpose, my main purpose is to produce some smart chips in small batches."
China has solved all the core equipment of chip manufacturing except lithography machines.
After we purchased the equipment, we formed a small smart chip production line with only one or two lithography machines.
It is for the chip production line of microelectronics companies in the future, and to explore the technical essentials in advance.
Another important reason is the production of a batch of smart chips. Meet the requirements of our company's own chips.
For example, our company's supercomputer, robot control equipment in smart factories and other equipment should gradually replace foreign chips with our company's smart chips.
This can not only improve the performance of our company's equipment, but more importantly, solve the safety risks caused by the use of foreign chips. ”
Zhou Yunsheng understood what Li Hao meant, and she agreed: "We should produce a smart chip, and by the way, we can also help the smart chip check whether it has vulnerabilities." ”
"We will discuss this matter carefully when we return to the company." Li Hao first explained to Zhou Yunsheng.
He then said goodbye to Sun Kai, and their purpose of coming to the laboratory had been achieved. I won't bother with your R&D activities. Li Hao and Zhou Yunsheng rushed back to the company directly.
