I have a little black hole

"Haha, that's what I said, I really look forward to the expressions of those people who know the performance of our company's upcoming chip. If they know that the chip we are about to release this time, their performance will be beyond the cut-off version. The most advanced products in the company's laboratory, then they are estimated to be crazy!" Kuafu said happily.

"Yeah, the performance of the castrated version is enough to hang them. If the products with real performance are available, then they must be crazy!

However, it is impossible for us to increase the performance of the chip to about 30 times the current one at a time. It is enough to shock them with the five times the chip that we are going to release.

Our company is soaked in the light of new materials. We ourselves manufacture graphene and have enough knowledge of its properties to achieve breakthroughs in such a short time.

Nor can we take it lightly for those companies. Now everyone is developing chips based on graphene materials. If they get a breakthrough, if we have these advantages, we will be caught up immediately!"Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

That’s what I said, but I’m really worried about it. It’s not at all. It depends on the company’s high-quality graphene being sold for more than a year. The laboratories of those countries and companies have not yet achieved a technical breakthrough. , You can see the difficulty of developing graphene chips!

"Boss, you don't know the difficulty of technological breakthrough! Anyway, even if we release the performance of the primary product of 7-nanometer process, it will be good enough!

If those countries and companies make technological breakthroughs, then we will release the most advanced products in the 5-nanometer process!

Anyway, the 7-nanometer process is the physical limit of the silicon material chip, and it is not the limit of the graphene material we use. Although the technology of our lithography machines and other equipment comes from them, we have optimized their own after we have learned their technology. The upgraded product performance has broken through their technology!

Whether it's a 7-nanometer chip or a 5-nanometer chip, it makes almost no difference to our equipment!Kuafu said indifferently.

Moore's Law, which has been applied for more than 20 years, has gradually shown signs of failure in recent years.From the point of view of chip manufacturing, 7nm is the physical limit of silicon chips, and the 7-nanometer limit that Kuafu said is that.

The current CPU integrates a transistor in the unit of 100 million. This transistor is composed of a source, a drain, and a gate between them. The current flows from the source to the drain, and the gate controls the current. The role.

The so-called XX nanometer actually refers to the width of the gate of the complementary oxide metal semiconductor field effect transistor formed on the CPU, also known as the gate length.

The shorter the gate length, the more transistors can be integrated on the same size silicon chip. In the case of chip transistors with the same degree of integration, using more advanced manufacturing processes, the smaller the chip area and power consumption, the higher the cost low.

Reducing the length of the transistor gate can enable the CPU to integrate more transistors or effectively reduce the area and power consumption of the transistor, and reduce the cost of the CPU's silicon wafer.

It is for this reason that CPU manufacturers spare no effort to reduce the transistor gate width to increase the number of integrated transistors per unit area.

However, this method will also shorten the distance of electron movement, which may easily lead to the movement of electrons inside the transistor from the negative electrode to the positive electrode through the silicon bottom plate of the transistor channel, that is, leakage.

And as the number of transistors in the chip increases, the silicon dioxide insulating layer, which was originally only a few atomic layers thick, will become thinner and cause more electrons to leak, and then the leakage current will increase the additional power consumption of the chip.

In order to solve the leakage problem, various companies can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. For example, in the manufacturing process, a high dielectric film and a metal gate integrated circuit are integrated to solve the leakage problem;

There is also fin field effect transistor technology (FinFET)-by increasing the surface area of ​​the insulating layer to increase the capacitance value and reduce the leakage current to achieve the purpose of preventing electronic transition...

The above method can effectively solve the leakage problem to a certain extent when the gate length is greater than 7 nanometers.However, based on the use of existing chip materials, once the gate length of the transistor is less than 7 nanometers, the electrons in the transistor can easily produce a tunneling effect, which poses a huge challenge to the manufacture of the chip.

In response to this problem, finding new materials to replace silicon to make transistors below 7 nanometers is an effective solution.

This is also an important reason that since Lei Tiantang's company sold high-quality graphene, various companies have begun to increase their investment in research and development of graphene chips.

"Not to mention this, although our company has made a breakthrough in graphene chips, the future of graphene chips will be like that!

It is enough to leave a group to continue in-depth research and development, and maintain a certain technological lead. Others are still investing in the development of quantum computer chips. This is the future direction of chip research and development.

With the current strength of our company, there is much more work to be done to achieve breakthroughs in this area!"Lei Tiantang said with a smile.

"Yeah, in the future..., I look forward to my evolutionary success at that time!" Kuafu continued to look forward to.

"Haha! Now don't think about these things that have no shadow, let us continue our research on the ground. Look at the experimental process I designed..."

The discussion between the two of them did not affect the normal development of the matter at all. As the outside world paid more and more attention to this super high prize game, the discussion about the performance of the chip that the infinite gravity group was about to release became more and more hot. Everyone is looking forward to the press conference of their company.

And time has also flown through their expectations quickly, and in a flash came the day of the press conference. Due to the company's frequent need to hold press conferences, Infinite Gravity Group is now very skilled in how to prepare for press conferences.

Looking at the expectant little eyes of the audience, Kong Yu smiled confidently and said: "Welcome everyone again to participate in this press conference of our infinite gravity group!

There will be two themes for this press conference. One is to give you a detailed introduction to the spacecraft design contest with a total prize of up to 10 billion yuan announced by our company on the official website recently.

The other is to officially release a variety of high-performance chips based on graphene materials developed by our company to the outside world!I know everyone can’t wait to ask questions now!"
