Rebirth of Northland Technology

"This project must be strictly confidential! Multi-pattern technology must not be spread outside. It will remain confidential. Until our true 1 micron process comes out, until our wafer industry is on track."

Cheng Yongxing's words extinguished the enthusiasm of the two partners.

"True 1 micron? How come the craft is still true or false?"

"Yes, this multiple patterning technology is fake."

"What does that really look like?"

Both are interested.Monkey King is true and false because someone pretends.How can the craftsmanship be true and false?It can be achieved, it is true!

"Real craftsmanship depends on real skill, not this tricky method."

"There are no tricks in craftsmanship, isn't your ODF a trick?"

Ye Jing curled her lips and didn't care about this strange talk.

This fellow countryman is a person whose pragmatism penetrates into his bones.Black cats and white cats hang on his mouth every day.

In order to achieve the goal, the various weird ideas that come up are often unimaginable.

These methods, in the eyes of people with a background in science classes, are a lot of apostasy or even rebellious things.

Others engage in automation, he engages in crowd tactics.Others engage in assembly lines, and he uses carts.

A good LCD workshop is now divided into small and large houses.People go in, bathing and changing clothes constantly.

In order to solve this problem, we have to consider building an air corridor inside the workshop to provide a fast passage for these operators and workpieces.

————————

When Wang Qingshan's group was fine, they also summarized Cheng Yongxing's strange way of thinking.

In the end, everyone reached a consensus that his way of thinking was entirely due to his lack of orthodox education.

This young man became famous too early and too quickly, which made him too late to receive a normal education.In this case, he still has to do something, naturally, messy things will come.

But what makes everyone more incomprehensible is not the talent of this young man, but his luck.These messy, anti-scientific, anti-traditional, and anti-theoretical methods can actually be used!

This allows a large number of masters and doctors who study technology and equipment design to make sense?

————————

"Don't talk about this issue. The multiple patterning technology must be strictly confidential. Its confidentiality level is even higher than the ODF. We must be psychologically prepared not to announce it within three or five years."

"What is this for? Why are there results not announced?"

The two are not interested in being famous.

Since joining the LCD project team, these two people have not published a paper for more than a year. Instead, they are the younger brothers and sisters of the Boy Scouts, who continue to publish results.

But they are not jealous.With the continuous improvement of vision, people's ideas have slowly changed.Now that we have embarked on this road of no return, we will continue on.

They are simply curious now.

With the advent of full-color TFT-LCD, the ODF process will be known sooner or later.Although this decryption process is not active, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

Although outsiders are not allowed to visit the TFT-LCD production workshop, people from the equipment manufacturer must always be present.There are hundreds of types of equipment involved in the entire production line, that is to say, people from a large number of equipment manufacturers can enter the production workshop.

It is not the first day that TFT-LCD has appeared, it is only the first time it has appeared in large-size displays.

Everyone knows what should and shouldn't be in this production process.Even if it was not clear before, it should be clear now.Among other things, the absence of capillary law reveals the secret itself.

————————

"Not why. That's it."

The influence of this technology may not be felt in later generations, because it is already a widely adopted technology.

But in this era, it is nuclear bomb level technology.It can make the wafer process directly move forward for ten years!

China's wafer process is ten years behind foreign countries. With one process, it can match or even catch up.

Isn't that good?

What good?

Once this technology spreads, what are the consequences?

4.86 directly becomes 100.86!

The world's semiconductor technology has directly jumped into the nano era.

For the weak, this technique just adds a leg to them so that the disabled can stand up.But for the strong, that means adding wings!Fly directly to the universe!

————————

In this era, China's power in semiconductors is really too weak.

The semiconductor equipment is backward, the chip design is basically blank, and there is basically no fab.

In the new century, although China is lagging behind in the semiconductor industry, the speed of chasing is not bad.One of the big reasons is that the speed of technological progress in the semiconductor industry in the entire world has actually slowed down.

Moore's law, to a certain extent, has failed.The world stayed on 14nm for three or four years.The typical here is that intel has stayed on 10nm for close to 5 years.This technical pause has brought opportunities for latecomers.

In this era, if this technology is disclosed and brought to the chip industry of these backward countries, it will really be a dimensionality reduction blow.

Without this technology, China's semiconductor technology and chip design can still develop slowly, driven by toys and pirated game consoles.

Although lagging behind, but slowly, the foundation is still growing.Talent, technology, and experience are also slowly accumulating.

It is these accumulations bit by bit that provide a good platform for future generations to accumulate.

In the new century, why can China achieve great success in the semiconductor industry?

How could it be possible without a large number of talents cultivated through a series of projects such as 531, 907, 908, 909?

————————

But in this era, China is not ready to accept this advanced weapon.

First, in this era, there is no foundry industry.

This means that there is no independent chip design company.What role can this chip factory play?

Second, there is no market.

All current fabs are customized for special needs.If this factory is only built for LCD chips, the output can be self-sufficient, but there is no room for development.Without sufficient profit traction, advanced technology will slowly fall behind.

How did several lithography machine factories in Japan decline? In the field of lithography machines, they lost a whole generation of orders and then completely lost the opportunity for development.

When the semiconductor downstream industry has not developed, this technology would rather be destroyed than let it spread.

"Well, what do you mean! What do you mean by 1 micron?"

"This involves a key CMP polishing technology. It is the key to our continued breakthrough."

In fact, throughout the 1990s, the key to restricting the chip process was not the lithography machine.But other technologies.

In the next few years, wafer process progress, the most important of which is CMP technology.

The integrated circuit manufacturing process is like building a house. Each floor needs to be level and tidy enough to build another floor above it, otherwise the floor will be uneven and affect the overall reliability.

The technology to level the entire floor is polishing technology used in the manufacture of integrated circuits.

CMP technology is a high-end upgraded version of ordinary polishing technology.

This technology is a key process for stepping from 0.35 microns to 0.25 microns.In order to manufacture a 3D high-density integrated circuit with a multilayer structure, CMP planarization technology must be used instead of traditional methods.

This technology has really entered the line of sight since June 1992.Its large-scale popularization came after 1994.

Cheng Yongxing has high hopes for CMP technology.It is hoped that this key technology used in higher processes can be used as a weapon for dimensionality reduction and strikes, pulling the current wafer technology in China and forcing it to a higher level.

At this time, what kind of technology was stuck in China from 2 micrometers to 1 micrometer, he really didn't know, because later generations did not have this information.

Industry specializing in surgery.Each sub-direction represents a brand new profession and technology.

Mechanics, chemistry, materials, physics, optics, electronics, quantum, algorithms, except nuclear physics, everything else that can be thought of is involved in the wafer industry.

In the LED era, Cheng Yongxing can rely on cleverness and hard work to pretend to be a genius.

In the LCD era, he can't get involved in the details, because the fields that LCD involves are already too large and complex.

In the wafer age, if he goes to the front line to pretend to be an expert, he will be humiliated.

What he needs to do is to guide the soldiers who charge in the right direction.
