Chapter 253: A 200 Billion Project

If you think about it with your ass, you know that if you are thinking about the design of carbon-based chips, then the distance to the mass production of carbon-based chips is really not even a step.

However, with such a big development, why did their company not receive the news until today?

It is impossible for such a big breakthrough to suddenly grow out of the ground, right?

Zheng Ren immediately asked his assistant to call out the previous company's investigation report on domestic carbon-based chips.

For the development of carbon-based chips, Warwick has an internal professional investigation report, which will regularly track breakthroughs in theory and technology, and will also evaluate the impact of this technology and theory on carbon-based chips after its emergence.

In the latest report, Zheng Ren turned to the last page and saw the conclusion:

"Domestic and worldwide, carbon-based integrated circuit technology is still at an immature level. It is estimated that it will take at least three to five years before the actual mass production is practical. The company's chip crisis cannot be hoped for a breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology... "

This proves that he was not wrong before.

The latest technological breakthroughs cannot make carbon-based chips go to the stage of vector production so quickly.

"Furthermore, listening to Academician Liu's words, the energy exerted by the edges and corners in this action is not small?"

Zheng Ren closed the report and fell into deep thought while sitting on the office chair.

It took a long time before he picked up his cell phone and dialed Chen's father.

the other side.

Comrade Chen was still dealing with the affairs established by the EDA design department, and was a little surprised when he suddenly received a call from Zheng Ren.

The angular brain-computer center has a cooperative project with Warwick, but the two companies don't have too much entanglement.

Comrade Chen thought for a while, and quickly guessed that the purpose of the call was probably for carbon-based chips.

As he thought, after a brief greeting, Zheng Ren asked about carbon-based chips:

"I just heard a bit of wind, saying that Mr. Chen has a business with carbon-based chips?"

"Carbon-based chips..." Father Chen also hesitated, whether to disclose the current progress to Zheng Ren.

If the boss of another company came to ask, he would definitely not say anything.

However, Warwick naturally wants to stand together with carbon-based chips. In the future, maybe everyone can cooperate and invest in the research and development of carbon-based chip production lines and related equipment.

In the past few days, the company has formed a team to make various predictions on the carbon-based chip industry.

Among them, for the production line construction of carbon-based chips, the result given is that it is estimated that the development and manufacturing of a 14-nanometer carbon-based chip production line will consume nearly 200 billion of funds!

A lot of this money has to be spent on the development of new equipment, after all, before carbon-based chips are etched, the steps are completely different from the manufacturing process of silicon-based chips.

Naturally, all these steps require new equipment to adapt to the new production process.

In addition, the development of these new equipment must be accelerated, and a large number of tests are carried out to save time, and the development cost is naturally higher.

The only thing that makes people slightly comfortable is that after etching, the production process of carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips are similar, and the equipment and venues can be used without drastic changes.

But the price of these equipment itself is not cheap, plus factory buildings, land...

If these things are mixed together, the number has exceeded 200 billion.

And it's still low.

If the development of the equipment does not go well, I am afraid that this number will increase by tens of billions...

This is definitely the most expensive business in Angularity's history!

Two hundred billion, if you sell the edges and corners, you can definitely sell at this price. The price that Gu Ge made before is more than that.

But let the edges and corners come up with such a large sum of money, it really can't come out.

The brain-controlled prosthesis is very profitable, and the amount of assembly of the Kuafu generation is also good, but until now, even the three billion yuan of base money on the opposite side has not been eaten up.

Although the cash cow of Mecha IP is stable and there are people paying for each batch of models, the total business scale so far is only about 2 billion US dollars.

The monthly turnover of Baize Image is only two to three billion yuan, and Baize Search’s advertising business has not officially launched...

Unless you wait until the photoacoustic inspection business is mature, it is difficult for the edges and corners to get such a large sum of money.

In other words, for the production of carbon-based chips, a partner must be selected from the outside, and more than one partner is needed.

Compared with other domestic enterprises, Warwick is naturally a high-quality choice...

Thinking of this, Father Chen sifted through the information in his mind and selectively revealed some news: "We do have a layout on carbon-based chips, mainly because the company has made some breakthroughs in technical research in this area. If the final result is confirmed, it should play a role in promoting the development of carbon-based chips."

Although the words are quite modest, Zheng Ren's heart has already risen at this time. He put these words together with those of Academician Liu to confirm.

Undoubtedly, it was the edges and corners that led this technological breakthrough. No wonder Academician Liu said that we should look for edge and corner technology for specific details!

As for why the Internet-based brain-computer company, Angular, can make a major breakthrough in the eight-pole field of carbon-based chips, Zheng Ren feels that he should be inseparable from the genius behind Angular.

In other words, all the techniques of edge and corner are inseparable from Chen Shen.

Sometimes he is really envious, why is such a genius not born in their home?

Zheng Ren is eager to learn more, and he continues this topic.

"Can you tell me what level of breakthrough it was?"

"I heard that you are working on EDA software?"

Together, these two questions are obviously saying that he has guessed the technological progress of edges and corners.

Father Chen pondered for a while and said: "We are indeed developing EDA software for carbon-based chips."

For a moment, it seemed that there was a current flowing through Zheng Ren's heart, and he suddenly thought of the new equipment project that Li Guozhong had just reported to...

I am afraid this technological breakthrough really makes carbon-based chips a reality...

call!

Inexplicably, Zheng Ren felt that a stone had been removed from his body when he thought of this, and he was immediately relieved.

"I hope to have a face-to-face chat with Mr. Chen and discuss cooperation in the field of carbon-based chips. I have no requirements for time and place."

This time the wave of carbon-based chips, Warwick must closely follow!

Father Chen looked at his schedule, and he was not too polite, so he directly chose a date: "Then meet in Magic City on June 1st. Our photoacoustic intelligent inspection center was just completed that day."

According to the current construction progress, the intelligent inspection center can be completed in a few days, and a ceremony will be held at that time...

Zheng Yikou agreed: "No problem."
