Dr. Avery Harari listened to Cang Yaozu's description and his eyes lit up, yes, flash memory does not necessarily have to rely on other products to exist, storage is a big consumer demand, add a control chip to flash memory, and then package it, you can use it as a floppy disk through the USB interface, the current floppy disk is too bad, such a small capacity, it takes more than a dozen floppy disks to install a game, and it has to be compressed in separate volumes, which is too frustrating and very unfriendly to white users.

"Yes, although the design is simple, it is very practical and the user needs are much greater. Why didn't we think of this aspect before, just honestly design memory cards, the development of digital products is still slow, and the market is not big enough. Mr. Cang, your design is a memory chip plus a main control chip, and it's done with hardened plastic or metal material, right?"

"Yes, professor, the quality of a USB flash drive, mainly two aspects, one is the performance of the main control circuit chip, the other is the capacity of the flash memory chip, to solve these two aspects, this little thing can enter the market, if necessary, you can also develop some novel functions, such as write lock function, encryption function and the like. Professor, I hope you still have to play a role in the front line of R&D, there are many people who can do this kind of work, but R&D is not something that everyone can do well, and your R&D advantages must be brought into play. ”

"The old man is not young, and R&D is very energy-consuming, and I used to have to manage the company, so I couldn't take care of it. Now, the burden is much lighter, and you all have a lot of ideas, and I am very happy to see that flash deposits are taking up a space in the IT field. ”

"No, doctor, we have a saying in Huaxia: There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. You're very flexible. The main control chip is easy to say, it's not complicated, but the capacity of the memory needs to be improved. ”

"Yes, we can't make 1G flash memory right now. ”

"Doctor, do you know the multi-level cell architecture? It is the Multi Level Cell, that is, the MLC architecture, compared to the Single Level Cell, that is, the SLC architecture, the MLC architecture can double the capacity. ”

"I've heard that this architecture has a slow read and write speed, a small number of writes, and a relatively short lifespan. ”

"However, the NAND flash memory of this architecture has a low cost and large capacity, and the MLC writes two or more bits of information to a floating gate, and then uses the charge of different potentials to control the accurate read and write through the voltage of the memory storage grid.

I heard that Intel is working on this technology, it is estimated that it should be released next year, I hope you can develop this technology here, this is the trend of future development, read and write speed can be ignored in many cases, the problem of less write times and short life is not unsolvable, the current cycle of IT products is very short, generally 1 to 2 years, this product cycle MLC technology can fully meet.

However, the capacity size and cost advantage can not be ignored, if this technology can be developed and patented, the development of our company will be guaranteed, and after the MLC architecture is completed, you can also develop TLC technology, I am sure that this is the future development direction of flash memory. ”

"Okay, I'll focus on this development. ”

"Then please professor, I hope you can recruit more engineers to assist you, now Intel is also developing on the side, time is the market, time is money."

I just told you that the first project is a USB flash drive, so the second project we want to cooperate with is MP3, which is similar to a USB flash drive, but MP3 is no longer a simple storage device, but an entertainment product. MP3 players decode and play songs in mp3 format through chips, and in this project, we will partially eliminate the playback equipment such as tapes, records and CDs, and create a new world of music. But all of this requires a large capacity of flash memory, and I can't accept a 64M or 128M product at all. You know, a song is about 4M in size. ”

"Okay, this project is good, the market prospect is broad, how is the patent situation?"

"We have applied for a lot of patents for these two projects, and the patent layout can be said to be very complete. As for the MP3-related patents, we have already purchased them, well, from several hands, there must be no problem with the patents, and now the main problem is the capacity of the flash memory.

A few days ago, our Huaxia Micro Semiconductor Development Conference announced that it has made a breakthrough in the manufacturing process, and it is urgent to improve the capacity of flash memory through the process innovation of flash memory and the process breakthrough of chip manufacturing process. Shengdi needs to speed up technology research and development and wafer factory construction.

At the same time, Mountainside Technology and Shengdi Company developed the first generation of USB flash drives, and began to produce low-capacity USB flash drives next spring, and then gradually increased the capacity of USB flash drives, and at the same time carried out MP3 research and development and music copyright purchases, and waited until the flash memory capacity reached the requirements to start the sale of MP3 players. So Doctor, your R&D task is very heavy, whether Shengdi can become the overlord of the industry, but it is a matter of one move. ”

"Okay, now that the funds are abundant, the company's survival problem has been solved, I can let go here, next, I will mobilize all my strength to attack the research and development, and ensure that the large-capacity flash memory chip will be taken out within three months, and your people will be responsible for the design of the main control chip, that Shabbir Bhatia's level is not bad, your seniors Yang Chongshan and Ding Lin are also very powerful, and the design of the main control chip is not a problem for them." ”

After discussing the research and development of the product, Cang Yaozu was idle, but Yang Chongshan and Ding Lin began to get busy, the research and development of the USB flash drive is not complicated, even if it is not difficult to add a few new functions, Yang Chongshan is still the former hardware genius, he and Ding Lin cooperate tacitly, and began the intense research and development work in Shengdi Company.

In the research and development, Yang Chongshan is full of confidence, the design of the chip is progressing rapidly, and his whole person has become glorious, not to mention, men are the most attractive when they work hard, this is the most experienced by Senior Sister Ding Lin. Yang Chongshan, who came out of the emotional whirlpool of Lu Chuqing, was even more attractive to Ding Lin.

Cang Yaozu estimates that Dashan should not last long, but if Ding Lin and Dashan are together, what will Xiaoying's mother do, and can the lovely Xiaoying still come to this world? This is really a big question, after all, Cang Yaozu has taken Yang Ying for many years, taking her to learn piano, taking her to learn ballet, taking her to amusement parks, and taking her to see a doctor.

If it is said that the most important woman in Cang Yaozu's life in that life, it is none other than Yang Ying, after all, he does not have a fixed female companion at all, and Lu Chuqing has long been nowhere to be found. Cang Yaozu really treated Yang Ying like his own daughter, and gave him almost everything he could.
