Chapter 107: Hu Guangnan joins the Hanlin Academy

When the time comes, we can use X86 when we enter, and we can use our own chips and systems when we retreat, and what company, what technology, what country, and what people can stop us from moving forward? It won't take many years. At that time, the CPU market and system market in the world will be in the bank.

Everyone else has to look at our faces. ”

Hu Guangnan didn't know what to say when he heard this.

Originally, Hu Guangnan felt that his chip design and development ideas were already perfect.

There should be no one in the country who can reach their own level.

But now it's still too much of a frog at the bottom of the well.

At least Su Han's chip development plan.

It's like throwing yourself a hundred streets.

A thousand streets.

To put it bluntly, it's not a level plan at all.

It can't even be compared together.

Hu Guangnan said: "Mr. Su's chip design and four-step development plan of the Hanlin Institute are simply beyond my admiration. It seems that you are the kind of real genius, and it is a blessing for our country to have a young scientist like you. It's just that your idea of using domestic lithography machines to manufacture chips is still a bit underconsidered? ”

Although Hu Guangnan also felt that the development of computers should support localization. But the problem now is that the lithography machine technology in my own country is simply a world apart from the mainstream team in the world.

It can't even be compared together.

The key is the chip produced by such a lithography machine...... Does this work?

Su Han said: "I have also thought about the lithography machine. In fact, when it comes to domestic lithography machines, it would have been! In the past few years, it has developed well, even if it is a little bit different from the world, but it is not that big. But these old people say that it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy, and advocate an international production chain. This has led to the stagnation of domestic lithography machine technology.

But I don't think this situation can be sustained for long. Although the lithography machine in our country is backward, it is the whole industry chain, and there is no technology from developed countries.

The lithography machine is an important landmark product of the overall progress of a country's industry.

The progress of the manufacturing level of lithography machine will promote the progress of the overall industrial manufacturing level of the country.

However, as you said, the technology is not good, and the production process of the chips may lag behind the international average.

But that's how I see it.

The level is not enough, the volume is to make up, and the chip can be made a little bigger!

Although it will reduce the yield rate, even if only one percent is our own product.

Although I envision the main competition direction of the chip market in the future, it should be the kind of extremely small, integrated chips.

But after all, it will take a long time to settle.

Not right now.

Now the computer case, such a big piece of space!

The chip design is a little bigger, but it doesn't take up much space.

The key is whether we can achieve our specific goals and functions.

That's the key question.

And we're working on a new exposure technique that can increase the density of the pattern through multiple exposures.

Although there are many problems with multiple exposures, it is easy to affect the acidity and alkalinity, and it cannot adapt to a variety of patterns, which reduces the yield rate and increases the production cost.

But our goal is to be completely independent and controllable chip design and manufacturing, marketization and cost, for the time being, is not in the scope of consideration.

The key is to complete it first, and then iterate on the technology a little bit to improve the yield rate.

When the product can really be quantified, it can be transfused from the consumer market, and then use this blood to iterate the technology of the lithography machine, increase accuracy, reduce costs, and take the route of popularization and quality.

But that's all for later.

For now, it's time to take things step by step and not to rush things too much.

As long as we can form a primary production capacity through domestic lithography machines, we can purchase more domestic lithography machines.

My Healing Game

This stimulates the further development and iteration of domestic lithography machines.

Then it is entirely possible to build our independent and controllable advanced lithography machine production chain within ten or even five years. ”

Hu Guangnan is already speechless.

I have to say that Su Han thinks much more carefully and comprehensively than himself.

The key is that if the other party says that these functions are good, whether they are controllable, or complete, if they can all be realized.

Then it is entirely possible that in your lifetime, you will really see a chip produced by an instruction set architecture with independent intellectual property rights, and it will run smoothly on a domestic system.

Hu Guangnan was also a little excited when he thought of this.

A completely localized computer and operating system.

Isn't this my ultimate dream?

Hu Guangnan thought that everything that was originally impossible was about to become possible, and naturally he was also excited, and said: "Mr. Su! I can't really say anything right now. Not only do you have the knowledge and talent, but you also have the strategic vision that you can only see in your life. ”

Su Han smiled: "Actually, the goal between me and you is the same. It's just that there is a bit of a gap in age. Although I also know that you, as an important backbone of a large assembly factory, it is indeed inappropriate to dig into the corners. But in my mind, there is no one better to represent me in the R&D center than you. So I hope you will consider joining us and blazing a new path of independence for domestic chip research and development. ”

Hu Guangnan had already made a decision in his heart at this time, and it seemed that this was a more suitable place for him to fulfill his dream than an assembly factory.

"No problem. Then it will cause trouble for Mr. Su in the future. I'm older, maybe I don't have as much energy as before, and if there is a place where the work is not in place in the future, you will criticize more. ”

Of course, Su Han was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then Chief Engineer Hu is welcome."

For Su Han, Hu Guangnan's joining is to relieve his pressure.

Of course, it is precisely because of the other party's joining.

Su Han decided to speed up the design of the instruction set architecture and put it into the final chip design.

Because chip design is also quite a complex job.

To be honest, the difficulty is no less than the development of lithography machines.

……

After Hu Guangnan returned, he formally submitted his resignation from the post of chief engineer to the assembly plant.

But the incident still caused quite a stir in the assembly plant.

After all, the current achievements of the assembly plant are inseparable from Hu Guangnan's technical support.

However, in recent years, the contradictions between Hu Guangnan and the leaders of the assembly plant have become more and more intense because of technology, industry and trade, or between trade, industry and technology.

It seems that the failure of the establishment of the chip research center this time has completely detonated the contradictions between the two sides.

Although the leaders of the assembly plant symbolically retained him, Hu Guangnan still refused to stay, and refused the severance pay given by the other party, just hoping to take away his previous chip research results and several trained chip research backbones.
