Movie black technology

"Let me see!"

Upon hearing the news, Chen Shen, Academician Liu and others immediately walked to the inspectors.

The exported microscopic image is displayed on the computer. There is nothing else in the image, it is just carbon nanotubes that look exactly the same.

These tiny carbon nanotubes are like bricks, laid on the substrate according to the previously set shape, forming a special but regular geometric pattern.

Chen Shen looked at this image. Although he didn't know whether it was consistent with the design plan of Academician Liu's team, he intuitively felt that there should be no problems with the experiment based on the pattern of carbon nanotubes on the substrate.

The result is just as he expected.

After seeing the image, Academician Liu first rejoiced with others, and then buried his head in the image, observed it for a long time, and announced in a passionate voice: “From the current comparison results, there is no error in the assembly of carbon nanotubes. It is exactly the same as our previous design plan!"

Wow!

The other people at the scene suddenly applauded.

"It's really soaked out!" Deng Ziming stood in the crowd and wiped the sweat from his forehead, consciously surging.

Even he, an authority on NDA nanotechnology, feels that the results achieved this time are too exciting.

Before, who could have thought that the core process of the chip can actually be designed in advance, and then it can be soaked in a pile of solution?

Before this technological advancement even he dared not imagine.

What made him even more dare not imagine was that this experiment was successful in one go!

This shows that this technical idea is different from other nascent technologies, and its current maturity is already very high.

As mentioned before, the success of this experiment means that the problem of industrialization is no longer big.

At this time, everyone's eyes were unconsciously placed on the plasma etching machine at the other end of the field, and another substrate was already placed inside for processing.

"If there is no problem with the experiment over there, then we have overcome the two most critical processes of the carbon-based chip." After everyone moved to the etching machine, Chen Shen said softly.

Academician Liu heard it and said softly: "Indeed, the two most critical processes for carbon-based chips are the purification and assembly of carbon nanotubes, and the processing of nanopatterns..."

If the carbon-based chip is regarded as a house, the purification and assembly of carbon nanotubes is to select suitable bricks and then use them to build a house, while the processing of nano-patterns is equivalent to installing water and electricity for the house.

This is the key to whether the chip can be formed into a transistor. If this is not possible, no matter how many carbon nanotubes are piled together, it will only be carbon nanotubes. Without forming the source and drain, there is no way to calculate.

Previously, nano-pattern processing was done by photolithography machines. If they can bypass the photolithography process through the ideas and solutions provided by Chen Shen, then the production process of carbon-based chips can be said to be completely in their hands.

Everyone stood in a group in front of the etching machine, feeling that their heartbeat was a little fast, as if they were waiting for the verdict of fate.

Finally, the processing of the substrate inside was automatically sent out of the machine, and the engineers immediately stepped forward to take out the substrate.

"Quickly, send it to the inspection area, and we will see the results right away!" Academician Liu couldn't wait to say, he followed closely behind the inspection engineer, as if a shepherd was driving the sheep.

After the substrate has undergone simple processing, it is sent to the inspection station, and the microscopic image is displayed on the computer, and everyone's attention is immediately attracted.

Everyone is staring at the computer screen, as long as the etching pattern they designed is detected on it, then this next step will succeed together.

Chen Shen was looking at the screen. In contrast, Academician Liu and Professor Deng Ziming were much more nervous than the provider of his technology. They were breathing heavily as if they had just finished a thousand meters.

Soon, the test result is displayed on the screen.

Academician Liu pulled the operating engineer away, and was the first to watch the screen, followed by Professor Deng Ziming, and Chen Shen was squeezed into third place. The others could only stand behind and crane their necks to find a suitable angle.

The image on the screen shows that there are many graphics with different dots or lines on the substrate. If you look at these graphics with the naked eye, you can only see their specific shapes under the instrument.

These positions are used to place the special metals needed to build the source and drain.

"how is it going?"

The researchers huddled in the back craned their necks and couldn't see the details on the screen, so they could only come out to ask.

Academician Liu looked at the automatically measured sizes of various graphics on the screen, and did a comparison by himself, and determined that it was consistent with the size they designed. Then he patted his chest, turned his head and announced: "No problem, our printing The machine successfully defined the pattern on the substrate, and processed the perfect nano pattern under the treatment of the ion etching machine!"

"Everyone's day and night efforts during this time have not been wasted!"

After speaking, Academician Liu gave way and gave the researchers behind him a chance to observe. He pulled Chen Shen aside by himself.

"How did you come up with this plan? Professor Deng and I have been working on carbon-based integrated circuits for decades, and we haven't even touched your ass!" Academician Liu looked at Chen Shen and was shocked by him. people.

He and others studied things for decades, and it turned out that Chen Shen, a person who seemed completely unrelated to carbon-based chips, took a very short time to come up with a mature plan. How could he not let him? Surprised.

To make an immature metaphor, it's like a doctor of literature suddenly published the Grand Unified Theory. How can it not be shocking?

Chen Shen said calmly: "I just had this idea and inspiration by accident."

Although he can be said to be successful now, his mentality has not expanded. He clearly knows that this achievement is systematic, not his.

Although he also has the strength to make various modifications to the results of the system, he ultimately stands on the shoulders of giants to do things.

Academician Liu didn't know his thoughts, and he regarded him as humble, "If you have ideas and inspiration, you have to be able to do it!"

"The 14nm solution you designed is now basically determined to be a feasible mass production solution. Are you interested in continuing on the road of carbon-based chips in the future? If you have you, maybe carbon-based chips The craftsmanship can be doubled next year!"

Chen Shen shook his head quickly. This is not about growing food. Where can it be a good thing to double every year? If this is the case, silicon-based chips will not be stigmatized every year.

"The 14-nanometer carbon-based chip is temporarily enough after mass production, and with the basis of the 14nm solution, it is not difficult to improve the process to produce a lower-process chip, so I may no longer focus on this. ."

Academician Liu was a little disappointed, "Yes, there should be a lot of things on Scarlet Storm."

Chen Shen touched his head and wanted to say that there is nothing wrong with Scarlet Storm, but after thinking about it, let's continue to maintain this misunderstanding.

Otherwise, his technology founder is at ease, how can this academician work in the research institute with peace of mind?
