The Technology Tree of Xueba

Chapter 36 Etching machine difficulties

On June 5, Zhou Yu came to a construction site located in Yanjing DX District. The factory building under construction is the graphene chip factory of Xinghuo Technology.

The 12-story small building next to it has been completed, looks gray, and has a somewhat plain appearance is the R\u0026D center laboratory.

These factories are all assembled with prefabricated modules, and the construction speed is very fast. The outer wall of the R\u0026D center is just a layer of protective paint sprayed on the surface of the concrete.

Yuan Keqing led Zhou Yu to visit the construction site, and at the same time invited credit: Mr. Zhou, do you think my suggestion is very good? Building houses directly with prefabricated modules can save 90% of the time.

The outside of the house can be painted directly, and the interior can be pasted as wallpaper. People can go in and work directly without affecting their health.

This is a laboratory, not a house where my family lives, so there is no need for fine decoration.

Your ideas have always been positive, and I am very satisfied with the speed of construction here.

I see that most of the houses in the chip factory are already covered and in another week or so they should all be complete. Zhou Yu said with satisfaction.

As long as you have enough funds in China, these construction companies can complete the construction for you with quality and quantity. If it is an ordinary prefabricated module factory building, it can be completed long ago.

Our chip factory has high requirements. It needs to be built into a dust-free workshop, and some workshops need to be built into a vacuum workshop.

This necessitates the selection of advanced prefabricated modules, some of which also need to be customized. Yuan Keqing explained.

The holographic bracelet and the virtual idol Xianghua continue to provide cash flow for our company. The company has no shortage of funds, and the chip factory must be completed with quality and quantity.

In particular, the anti-vibration level must be high, and the absolute stability of the equipment must be ensured. Even if a low-level earthquake occurs, people will not feel much, but the processing equipment will move.

Even if the chip processing deviates by one nanometer, the entire chip will be scrapped. Zhou Yu solemnly explained.

Please rest assured Mr. Zhou. As the supervisor, I understand the quality of the chip factory. We have written this requirement into the contract. It is highly shockproof, and earthquakes below magnitude 6 will not affect chip processing. Yuan Keqing introduced with a smile.

The chip factory has not been built yet, let's go to the R\u0026D center to have a look, they are responsible for developing chip processing equipment.

Academician Tian Kai designed and completed the graphene chip, and explored the process of graphene chip preparation.

The laboratory can also produce finished chips, and now he is working on the development of the chip instruction set.

The real industrial production of chips depends entirely on whether the R\u0026D center can manufacture qualified processing equipment. Zhou Yu said expectantly.

He and Yuan Keqing walked into the R\u0026D center, where there are thousands of people serving the scientific research of Xinghuo Technology.

When Ma Shangshu saw Zhou Yu coming, he immediately came to greet him.

Mr. Zhou, you are welcome to inspect the R\u0026D center. We have established hundreds of scientific research projects and more than 80 laboratories.

Scientific research projects range from basic science to future scientific exploration. Ma Shangshu proudly introduced.

Don't make these useless, you can't figure out what I'm here for, and how far the graphene chip processing equipment has been developed.

Academician Tian Kai has figured out the theory and explored the three main processes of graphene wafer processing. Zhou Yu asked immediately.

Ma Shangshu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and said with some hesitation: Well, Mr. Zhou, the reaction furnace for refining graphene wafers has been successfully developed.

We received the data from the research institute to optimize the reactor we studied.

Now that the production parameters have been formed, Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has been handed over to produce reaction furnaces and graphene wafer packaging equipment. We have also made breakthroughs, which are better than the 25% yield rate of the research institute, and the yield rate of chips processed by our equipment has reached 85%.

Don't avoid the important ones, these devices can be researched by the few people in the research institute. It's not normal if the people in the R\u0026D center can't research them.

The core equipment for graphene chip manufacturing is an etching machine, which needs to use a 0.1-nm hydrogen atom beam to etch a graphene wafer and divide a one-square-meter graphene wafer into standard chips.

The graphene wafer is divided into units with different functions by hydrogen atom beam, which is also the process of graphene chip encoding, and what is the progress of its research. Zhou Yu asked directly.

This, this, the processing difficulty of the etching machine is too high. We are now investing a lot of manpower and material resources to overcome the difficulties. Ma Shangshu said tangled.

Take me to the laboratory where the etching machine is developed, what kind of difficulties did you encounter, and you were able to get stuck for so long?

Academician Tian Kai told me that he chose the etching solution because the domestic etching technology is relatively advanced and will not be stuck. Zhou Yu asked puzzledly.

Tiankai Academician Research Institute has insufficient scientific research personnel and technical reserves to complete the etching machine.

He thought that the research center could make a breakthrough, but he didn't expect them to be stumped by this technology.

At that time, Zhou Yu chose to let the research institute and the research center go hand in hand to develop graphene chip processing equipment. This waste of manpower and material resources was adopted in order to prevent a unit from being stumped by a certain difficulty.

Unexpectedly, both the research institute and the R\u0026D center were stumped by the etching technology.

The group of them came to a huge laboratory. A group of scientific researchers in white coats were pointing at a machine about two meters high and 1.5 meters long and wide.

Seeing that Yu Zhenfeng was also in the crowd, Zhou Yu waved to Yu Zhenfeng and called him over.

Director Yu, your R\u0026D center is struggling with the difficulty of etching technology.

When Yu Zhenfeng heard Zhou Yu's question, he immediately explained: Mr. Zhou, I have been in communication with Academician Tian Kai's research institute, and the problems we encountered are very similar.

This is not a problem of the principle of etching technology, but a problem of processing in reality.

Academician Tian Kai designed and processed graphene chips according to the most advanced etching technology in China.

Academician Tian Kai does not understand mechanical principles. He designed this standard. In theory, the etching machine can process chips, but it is difficult to control it in the actual processing process.

Because in order to process the standard graphene transistor into the required style, it is necessary to adjust the duration and bombardment intensity of the hydrogen atom beam.

Several different hydrogen atom beam emitters can be produced in the laboratory, and each emitter only processes one kind of transistor.

Etching machines cannot use this method. Once this method is used, it will be like engraving printing. Each etching machine can only process one type of chip, and the change of one transistor will completely destroy the etching machine worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Abolish.

No matter how rich a company is, it cannot build such a luxurious production line.

When Zhou Yu heard Yu Zhenfeng's explanation, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: You just want to change engraving printing into movable type printing, but you can't break through the technical difficulties.

Yu Zhenfeng smiled wryly and said: Mr. Zhou, that's what I mean, but the difficulty is completely different, not to mention other processing difficulties, that is, the interference of hydrogen atom beams with different attributes, and the high-frequency fluctuation of hydrogen atom beams, these two problems cannot be solved. .”

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up and said: I have an idea, you can design multiple emission sources and prepare hydrogen atom beams with different properties.

The hydrogen atomic beam launch gun is like movable type printing, which can be connected to multiple emission sources.

Connect the launch guns of each source, work at the same time, and then switch to different launch guns immediately, so that it will not be able to perfectly solve the problems encountered.

Yu Zhenfeng said pleasantly: Mr. Zhou, this solution is very ingenious. In this way, only a larger etching machine is needed, and the cost is acceptable.
