60s researcher

The research of lithography machine is much more complicated than that of etching machine, so the focus of this research is still on the research of lithography machine.

This time, the goal of the Institute of Optics is still very big. It wants to directly use the step-scan projection exposure machine to reduce the line width of integrated circuit graphics to the node of 0.35μm.The wavelength can reach 193nm, and the resolution of optical lithography can reach the limit of 70nm. The goal is very ambitious, and naturally it takes a lot of time.

The main reason for limiting the size of the chip is related to the resolution that the lithography system can obtain, and the most effective way to improve the resolution is to reduce the wavelength of the irradiation light source. Therefore, the key to this project is to develop and find a new type of short-wavelength light source. Researching different light sources is an important task of the Institute of Optics, so the focus of their project this time is to find light sources with only 193nm or even shorter than this number.

In addition to its own research strength and a large number of experiments, this task naturally requires a lot of luck. Lu Jian remembers several light sources of the lithography machine, probably laser, ultraviolet light, deep ultraviolet light, and extreme light. Ultraviolet light, and extreme ultraviolet light is the most advanced light source technology in later generations. It is a pity that Lu Jian only knows some names. He didn’t know much about them in his previous life. It has not been developed yet, but there are still many problems in application, so the current lithography machines still use lasers.

Lu Jian sat next to Director Huo, listening to those people's words, and Director Huo on the side was also a little bored. He hasn't mentioned their part yet. Unlike Lu Jian, he came here this time The main reason is because this is a cooperative project of the three units, he came here to pay attention to it, and the specific tasks were left to Lu Jian and the others, so he just listened.His original position was not on Lu Jian's side, but he came here at his strong request. According to him, I don't have anything to say anyway, so there's no need to sit in the back.

However, Lu Jian on the other side has been taking notes. During the intermission, Director Huo snatched Lu Jian's notebook and looked at it carefully. It really looks good.He couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice, and said with some interest: "I remember this note in detail?"

Seeing that he snatched the notebook, Lu was not in a hurry, put away the pen, smiled and said to him: "They speak very well, and they can learn a lot."

Director Huo looked at it for a while, "The things you remember in this note are all key points. It seems that you have done a lot of homework before?"

Lu Jian didn't hide anything, "Isn't this about researching lithography machines? The key to this project is the light source, so I learned more about it."

Director Huo always felt that something was wrong, and was about to speak, when suddenly someone came up behind him and snatched the notebook in his hand. Director Huo and Lu Jian looked back, but it was an old man with white hair, He is a little short, no, it should be said that he is very short, his back is a little hunched, and he looks only 1.6 meters, but he has a lot of momentum.It was Mo Jiming, the director of the Institute of Optics who spoke on stage at the beginning of the conference.

He snatched the notebook and read it carefully. Director Huo gave him a blank look, "Okay, old man Mo, you have to grab everything, right? Return it quickly." When he saw him, he stood up. He got up and reached out to snatch the notebook.

Director Mo dodged his hand quickly, and he didn't look like an old man in his 70s or [-]s at all. Lu Jian also stood up, and after calling Director Mo, he stood there silently, but he still Those who pay more attention to them, lest they fight, it would be bad if one of them fell down.

Director Mo didn't take care of Director Huo anymore, and stood a little farther away so that Director Huo couldn't reach him. The seats they sat were connected together, and the back of the chair was quite high, so Director Huo temporarily I really can't get out, seeing him like this, I can only look at him helplessly, "Hey, the surname is Mo, if you don't ask for it, return it quickly."

Director Huo didn't know what was going on, he always felt a little flustered, what was Mo Jiming looking at, wasn't it all about what he said just now?It can also be seen that the flowers will not come.

Director Mo's attitude was very calm, and even his movements were unhurried, he glanced at Director Huo, then at Lu Jian, and asked Lu Jian in a very flat tone, "You must be Lu Jian, right? "

Lu Jian nodded.

"Is this notebook yours?"

Before Lu Jian continued to nod, Director Huo quickly said, "Whose fault is none of your business? Return it quickly."

Director Mo still ignored him, and already knew the answer in his heart, "It seems that it is yours. You wrote the above things, right?" Director Mo has already turned Lu Jian's notebook to the front part, and there are many It was all Lu Jian's thoughts after reading those optical books.Director Mo looked at Lu Jian with such interest in his eyes, obviously he was very interested in Lu Jian's notebook.

"I wrote it. I read some optics-related books before, and I barely have some ideas." Although he didn't know what Director Mo was going to do, Lu Jian still answered him politely.

Director Huo knew this Director Mo a little bit, and naturally knew that he was not a nosy person. He always felt that there was some eagerness in his eyes looking at Lu Jian. In his opinion, this old man Mo had malicious intentions. Said: "Old man Mo, why don't you hurry up and get a drink of water or something? This meeting will continue in a short time."

Director Mo glared at him, then changed his expression, and said kindly to Lu Jian: "Did you find the book by yourself? I think you have written a lot of questions on it, so you probably haven't figured it out yet? "

As soon as these problems were mentioned, Lu Jian's heart moved, "I did find books to read by myself, and I still haven't figured out a lot of things."

Director Mo laughed when he heard his words, "You can have these questions, it seems that the book is still very good, are you interested in optics?"

Director Huo frowned, "I'm interested here, it's not that we want to study the lithography machine now, it's just to make preparations in advance."

Director Huo said so, Lu Jian can only smile, but he is indeed more interested in optics now, of course, mainly in the lithography machine, and the chips of later generations have always been controlled by other countries. The country, as long as the chip industry is sanctioned, the mobile phone and computer industries will face great risks. He wants to engage in research in this area in the future. The things he has done over the years are so complicated and his energy is somewhat scattered.

And the future research will only get deeper and deeper. Lu Jian knows that there will be fewer and fewer things he can rely on in future generations, and it is best for him to choose a direction for in-depth research.Now his main research is electronic technology, and the key to this research is chips. Now he is more interested in optics, and he really wants to study this aspect in the future.

Director Mo continued to ignore Director Huo, "Okay, I knew you were very interested, I think you are quite talented in optics, or you can learn from me in the future, I happen to be Qing Daguang Professor of the college, why don't you take one of my graduate students this year."

His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he hoped that Lu Jian would become his student.

Lu Jian was a little startled, "Director Mo, I..."

"What are you talking about? Lu Jian can be our professor at Tsinghua University, and he has a graduate student with him. Why do you need to take the exam for your graduate student?" Director Huo was about to die of anger, but he wanted to train Lu Jian to be their computer The pillar of the research institute, this old man Mo actually wanted to poach his own people.

Director Mo smiled at him calmly, "What's the matter? It's fine if you don't have special recruits. Even if you don't become my graduate student, you can still be my student. Lu Jian has only been reading for a long time. , there are so many ideas, it would be a waste if we don’t study optics in depth.”

Director Huo wanted to refuse directly to Lu Jian, but before leaving the exit, he saw that there seemed to be some emotion in Lu Jian's eyes, and he didn't want to refuse.

"Really so talented?" Director Huo didn't know much about optics, and he hadn't read what Lu Jian wrote earlier, so he still didn't believe it, because he was afraid that old man Mo was trying to trick him.

Director Mo looked at him seriously and said, "What am I lying to you for? Comrade Lu Jian is still young now, so he has the ability to learn more things. Doesn't our lithography machine involve optics, electronics and mechanics? Well, he will know a little bit about everything by then, and he will be more suitable to take charge of large-scale projects in the future.”

Director Mo whispered the last sentence in Director Huo's ear, but Lu Jian didn't hear it.

Hearing that director Huo also thought for a while in silence, he finally said helplessly: "Okay, this is your arrangement. It would be nice to have a graduate degree."

After finishing speaking, Director Huo looked at Lu Jian, who immediately smiled at him, hit the snake with a stick and said, "Please, Director Huo, please, Director Mo." He really wanted to find someone teacher's.

Director Mo was very satisfied with the satisfactory answer. Seeing that the time was almost up, he didn't want to delay any longer. He hurriedly said: "Okay, time is running out, I'll go up first, and I will arrange this matter."

After speaking, he waved his hands at the two of them, and then went up.

After the people left, Lu Jian and Director Huo sat down. Director Huo looked at Lu Jian seriously, "It's decided, do you want to learn one more optics?"

Lu Jian also nodded seriously, "I'm still young, I should learn more."

"Then you will focus on the research of lithography machines in the future?"

"My idea is to study lithography machines and computers. The research of computers needs the support of lithography machines. I want to take the initiative." Lu Jian clenched his fists as he said, this is his goal in mind, constantly surpassing the world chips, as well as computers and mobile phones.

Director Huo nodded understandingly, "Okay, this road is very difficult, you have to handle it yourself."

"I will."

While the two were talking, the project meeting started again. This meeting lasted for a day, and different project tasks were assigned. Lu Jian was also assigned a small project.Lu saw that they had officially entered the research of lithography machines and etching machines.

The task of the project team is very heavy, because the two machines are important machines for chip production, and they have limited manpower, so the two projects are almost carried out at the same time. Lu Jian and his project team are also responsible for the research of the two machines.

After the project started, Lu Jian and they often stayed at the Institute of Optics. They can be said to be the top talents in domestic program research, so they are still able to work with ease, and there is no great difficulty. Do things with less time and focus.During this period of time, Lu Jian and Director Mo had more contacts. Every time, he would bring Lu Jian a few books related to optics to read, and would help him solve problems he didn't know. See and discuss some issues together, and the two get something from each other.

When the Chinese New Year passed, Lu Jian received the news that he had become a senior researcher. The promotion list of professional titles was to be announced. Lu Jian was almost the youngest senior researcher in Huaguo at that time, and he was trained in Huaguo. Very curious about him.

However, Lu Jian was not affected by this incident, at most, his salary and benefits had increased a bit, but he still told his family about this incident, it was a good thing after all.

In September [-], Lu Jian really became Director Mo's graduate student, and he was also the only graduate student he recruited. He is old now, and he still has a lot of work in the Institute of Optics. He really has no intention of recruiting graduate students. It can be said that it is a special case.

Time passed little by little, and at the end of [-], Lu Zhentuan began to invest and build factories in several coastal special economic zones, just like what Lu Jian and the others thought. In the end, the fourth brother Lu Jian was the one who helped Lu Zhentuan in the past, and the others were not It is not suitable because he is too young, and only he is the most suitable.

The life of the rest of the Lu family is very smooth. The aunt Lu Jian wanted to have a relationship with him after knowing that Lu Zhentuan was back, to gain some benefits. It's a pity that Lu Zhentuan ignored her directly. They had a relationship when they were young. Not very well, not to mention that she made grandpa and grandma Lu sad, and her death had a lot to do with her.

Time passed, and in 163, Lu Jian and the others finally researched the lithography machine and the etching machine, and found that the wavelength of the light source was only [-]nm, which can be said to have far exceeded expectations, and the project was a complete success.

Lu Jian also graduated from Professor Mo's staff this year. Not long after the research was successful, Lu Jian began to research new projects, but it was still related to electronic technology, namely mobile phones and computers.Over the years, Lu saw that the mobile phones they developed have been used in many places, and even state agencies have purchased a lot. Signals and network base stations have begun to be built together, and these construction funds are not only national tax revenues. There are also profits from computer factories and mobile phone factories.

As time passed, chip technology continued to be broken through, and computers and mobile phones were constantly updated. When the older generation of directors Huo and Mo left the stage of scientific research, Lu Jian had already Became a leader in chip research...

The future is expected.
