Chapter 266 Experiments with carbon-based chips

Guo Xin Carbon Based Integrated Circuit Research Institute.

Chen Shen got off at the entrance and followed the person leading the way to the lab.

It was already dark, but the institute was still brightly lit, through the window you could see the various offices and labs inside the figure ambushed in front of the desk.

Professor Deng Ziming, the deputy director of the institute, came to greet, as the domestic DNA nanotechnology field of outstanding scholars, he led the research team in the DNA nanotechnology and integrated circuit production process on the application of research has made no small contribution, before finishing to Chen Shen's information there are several of his papers.

Professor Deng Ziming is not yet fifty years old, with a military-like inch head, and a pair of thick-framed glasses on his nose, giving people the first impression that he is crisp and sharp.

At this time, his face looked very energetic and excited, as if he had been hit by chicken blood. After a brief introduction, he led the way in front while talking to Chen Shen sideways.

"Now that we have made all the experimental preparations according to your theory, we can immediately begin the first round of experimental verification."

"What kinds of experiments does the first round contain?" Chen Shen asked.

Deng Ziming laughed, "There are a total of two experiments, both related to DNA nanotechnology."

Chen Shen immediately thought, "That would be DNA template printing and assembly, right?"

"Exactly!" The two of them, with the team behind them, passed through the heavy barriers and entered the lab wearing industrial dust suits.

The laboratory was very spacious, which could fit an entire small chip production line, built to the same standards as the general chip production workshop.

The core team members of the research institute had already assembled at this time, and everyone was looking at the machines in the front laboratory area.

Seeing Chen Shen come in, Academician Liu, President of the Academy, walked up with the research team.

Even though everyone was wearing dust suits and their mouths, eyes and bodies were wrapped tightly, Academician Liu still recognized Chen Shen inside the crowd at first glance, and he stretched out his hands excitedly, "Master Chen, I've heard so much about you!"

Chen Shen didn't dare to slow down, and also extended his hands, after the pleasantries of the initial meeting, the two of them all put their eyes on the machine in front of them.

There were a total of two machines in front of them, which looked like two large boxes taller than a person, with square edges and a transparent panel at the outermost part, allowing one to see the inner part of the machine's operating state.

And through the transparent part, one could see that the inside of the machine was loaded with various different solutions that looked much like a witch's potion.

Academician Liu approached with Chen Shen and introduced it personally beside him, "These two machines are the first generation of experimental machines we've researched, this one on the left is the printing machine responsible for DNA template printing processing, while this one next to it is the assembly machine responsible for the automatic assembly of carbon nanotubes."

"We just drop wafers into these two machines, and the machines will put the wafers into the solutions inside, and then the wafers will react with those solutions as designed to create the patterns we designed, or assemble the carbon nanotubes the way we want."

The two machines used all of Chen Shen's technology, and Academician Liu even abandoned his original dimensional self-assembly technique, which was to maintain uniformity in the production process.

His self-assembly technique was not well integrated with the process proposed by Chen Shen.

Deng Ziming came over and said, "Before we received your proposal, we never thought that DNA nanotechnology would be applied to the chip production process so quickly. Especially with your DNA self-assembly technology, if we go in a different direction we might be able to research medical nanobots, I just don't know if you have that interest anymore."

Deng Ziming smiled and looked at Chen Shen, he was quite well informed in China and knew that the young master in front of him would only conduct research that he was interested in, just like he had already jumped out of the five elements and was not in the three realms anymore.

Chen Shen shook his head, "DNA self-assembly technology does have some reference for medical nanorobots, and if I have time in the future, I might actually put some effort in this direction."

The DNA self-assembly technology was to use the DNA strand as a carrying tool to deliver the carbon nanotubes to the designated location on the chip, this technology was somewhat similar to the idea of medical nanorobots entering the human body and capturing specific cellular viruses.

Of course, the two techniques are completely different, except that some of the principles may be universal.

At that moment, the door to the lab was opened once again, and Chen Shen's eyes turned to the fact that a man was pushing a cart of wafers, slowly walking away.

"Those are the first batch of special wafers we received from the fab over there." Academician Liu introduced.

The foundation of a chip was the wafer, and without the wafer chip, there was no foundation.

The wafers for the carbon-based chips are not the same as the silicon-based chips, and now it seems that the fab side has successfully completed their task.

Wafers were pushed to the front of the feeding port of the assembly machine and the printing machine respectively, and then put into the two machines by the engineers on site according to the procedures.

As you can see from the transparent window outside, once the wafers are placed in the machines, they are sequentially dipped into various solution recesses and after a set amount of time, they are moved from one recess to the other.

Between these solution transitions, the wafer surface is reacting with these special solutions, and some changes, invisible to the naked eye, are slowly occurring as intended by the design ......

Different from the silicon-based production process focusing on physical processes, the current carbon-based chip production process is more focused on the biochemical level, the two machines in front of the proof.

The two machines inside the most important thing is that they are filled with special solutions, only these solutions and the wafer surface reaction can be processed out of qualified wafers, the machine itself is not important, as long as the stable operation is good.

The crowd waiting outside the experimental area was like a big stone hanging in their hearts, and this was the first time they had integrated the various steps together for an experiment, as well as the first machine experiment.

The previous experiments they were relying on manual, if the operation of the two machines this time is successful, then the first stage of the industrialization of carbon based chips can be considered a success, in the future, these two process steps just need to modify the two machines.

Only two minutes of work, the wafers sent in finished soaking up all the solutions, and were sent out under the expectant eyes of the crowd.

"Quick, look at the assembly of the carbon tube, and additionally put the wafers sent out by the printing press into the ion etching machine." Academician Liu was busy directing.

The people on the scene got busy, the stars and stars were escorting the two wafers, one of them was sent to the side for manual inspection, the other was sent to the etching machine for re-processing.

The inspection was held on the spot, and the inspector suddenly turned around after some work on the workbench, followed by an excited voice: "The assembly of the carbon nanotubes has no problems, and is exactly as expected from the design!"
