575 Spell Chip! (Popular science, research direction, do not like to jump)

After a few days.

In the Garden of Eden, the main laboratory.

On the desk of the main laboratory, the design drawing of "Glove of Extinction" was placed, and the scroll of the "right hand of God" that had been copied not long ago, Li Cha squinted at the desk.

Within a short period of time, he could not find any further clues about "Yatis", and Richard temporarily placed his goal on the production of "Ecstasy Gloves", preparing to try to study it carefully.If it is ideal, it is even better to be able to make a prototype in the design drawing.

Of course, this is very difficult.

"Ecstasy Gloves" is a magic spell item, but it is not an order of magnitude more complicated than the other magic spell spell items.According to the previous statement, the magic pattern on the ordinary magic pattern props is like a circuit diagram with anti-counterfeiting means, which needs certain means to be cracked and used.The magic pattern involved in the "gloom of the world" is more like a chip.

Yes, chip!

Of course, this is just a metaphor, not to say that "gloom of the world" really needs chips, but the difficulty is similar.

Speaking of chips, this is almost one of the most representative products of high-end technology on the planet.

A chip that can be grasped by the hand, one square centimeter or even smaller, can integrate billions of transistors, complete trillions of operations in one second, simulate a fictional world between square inches, or calculate one. The result of all possibilities of the matter.

If you put the chip in the current medieval world like a wizard, it is equivalent to a flawless illusion, or a omniscient spell of prophecy.

Of course, the chip can be so powerful, it is not made overnight, it has gone through a long development path before it becomes like this.

Before the first chip, that is, the transistor, the tube was widely used on the earth.

The first computer, the Atanasov Berry computer, was born in the United States in 1942. It covers an area of ​​150 square meters and weighs 30 tons. It uses 17,468 tubes, 7,200 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 500,000 wires. .To say that it is a machine is worse than a building that cannot be moved, let alone used.

Because of its obvious drawbacks, scientists have invested a lot of energy since then, trying to develop newer and more portable computers.

then……

In 1947, the first semiconductor transistor was fabricated.

In 1950, the junction transistor was born

In 1958, the integrated circuit was invented.

In 1960, the lithography process was invented.

In 1964, Moore's Law proposed that the integration of transistors be predicted to double every 18 months, and integrated circuits began to enter a stage of rapid development.

In 1971, large-scale integrated circuits appeared.

In 1978, a very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI) appeared, with 140,000 transistors integrated on a silicon wafer less than 0.5 square centimeters.

In 1988, VLSI was further upgraded, and 35 million transistors were integrated on a 1 cm2 silicon wafer.

In 1989, the integrated process of transistors in the chip reached the level of 1μm, or 0.0001cm.

In 2001, the on-chip transistor integration process reached the level of 0.13μm.

In 2003, the integrated process of transistors in the chip reached 90nm process, which is 0.000009cm.

In 2018, the integrated process of transistors in the chip reached a 7nm process, and the integrated transistors reached tens of trillions.

In this way, the chip has gradually become the forefront of technology products.

Chips are an extremely typical knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive industry on earth, and only super powerful chaebols or countries can support them.

Not to mention anything else, the mere lithography machine is a necessary instrument for making chips. The general price is around RMB 1 billion, and the entire equipment requires more than ten Boeing 747s to be shipped.

And this is just a lithography machine. To make a chip, only a lithography machine is not enough. It also requires countless instruments and equipment to form a complete production line.

Outside the pipeline, more research work is required.

Without investing an astronomical amount of money, the chip industry will not produce results.

And the achievement of the results does not mean success, because the produced chips, if the quality is worse than the top chips, can not have enough market.Even if it is cheap to sell such inferior chips, it doesn't matter whether consumers buy it or not, it's a huge question how much to sell to recover the cost and how much to sell to obtain funds to study the next generation of chips.

Therefore, once the chip technology lags behind, it is impossible to catch up with just a few people shouting slogans and making efforts.It requires countless capital investment, spared no support, waited for more than ten years or even decades, and desperately chased after several generations of technology, it is possible to see a little dawn of success.

This is the key to the country!

Now, Richard is naturally not preparing to make chips.Although he knows a lot of knowledge, it is not arrogant, completely delusional to try to hand out a high-precision chip production line by himself without the productivity of the current world!

But everything can be changed. He can't make a chip on the earth. He doesn't need to make a chip on the earth. It's useless to make it-at least for now.

What he is going to do is to draw on some craftsmanship made by the chip on the earth to complete the depiction of the complex magic pattern on the design drawing of "Ecstasy Gloves.

In the design drawing, the number and complexity of the magic patterns can be said to surpass the imagination of ordinary people, and the magic patterns are superimposed by several layers through a special structure to complete the production of the "gloomy gloves".

And if it is made by chip technology, this is not necessary.

After all, the magic pattern is more complex, and it is also visible to the naked eye, with an accuracy above 0.0001cm, which is the level of chip transistor integration technology on the earth in 1989.

As long as his method is reasonable and can play the role of imagination, it can completely reduce the area of ​​magic lines, and depict part or all of the magic lines of the "gloomy gloves" in a nail-sized chip.

Then, you can avoid the many difficulties in the process of making "Ecstasy Gloves", and finally produce a finished product-a magic pattern magic prop with a chip as the core and never existed in this medieval wizarding world.

The chip in it can be called... a spell chip.

Well, the magic chip.

What are you going to do?

Richard pondered, tapping his finger on the table, not long after, he already had a general idea.

If you use some technology of the earth chip to make a magic chip, the core technology should be... lithography.

And to explain this technology in simple words, it can be simply regarded as... taking pictures.

Yes, take pictures.

In this photography, four things are needed, negatives, paint, mask and light source.

Evenly spread the paint on the negative film, let the light source pass through the gap in the mask, and irradiate the special light on the negative film paint. When the light of the light source and the paint react, the desired shape appears.

The so-called shape, on the earth chip, will become a transistor after various treatments, and on the magic chip, it is the magic pattern.

So now the first thing needs to be solved, the negative.

Negatives.
