He Xingzhou opened the quantum optical brain to check related technologies.

The first is the chip. In terms of chip classification, it is mainly divided into two categories: carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips. Of course, there is also a photonic quantum chip, that is, all information is stored in a group of "light".

"I was made by optical quantum chip technology," said the quantum optical brain.

Hearing it said that, He Xingzhou thought of the giant of light inexplicably, "Is there any advanced civilization that can turn itself into light?"

Quantum light brain: "Of course, some advanced civilization creatures completely abandoned the body made of silicon-based or carbon-based elements and became a pure energy body."

"That level of civilization is already a rare civilization in the universe."

He Xingzhou retracted his thoughts and continued to look up from carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips. In carbon-based chips, there are biochip technologies, protein chips, gene chips, cell chips, tissue chips...

Even the most basic knowledge of biochip design requires 100,000 units of energy to unlock!

In the silicon-based chip, there is the current chip development route of Bluestar mankind.

"Unlocking the knowledge of 7nm silicon-based chip design requires 50,000 units of energy."

"Unlocking the knowledge of 5nm process silicon-based chip design requires 100,000 units of energy."

"Unlocking the knowledge of 3nm process silicon-based chip design requires 150,000 units of energy."

Further down, there are 2 nanometers, 1 nanometers and even angstroms, which must be unlocked one by one, but He Xingzhou thinks it is unnecessary.

Because when the chip process is less than 3 nanometers, the manufacturing difficulty will skyrocket, and it will face the quantum tunneling effect, causing some transistors to fail.

At this time, silicon-based materials can be changed and new materials can be used to make them... But He Xingzhou saw that the knowledge of quantum chips more advanced than this kind of chip only requires 500,000 units of energy to unlock, and the performance can directly crush these traditional computing chips.

With that energy point and energy to unlock the quantum chip, isn't it fragrant?

He Xingzhou directly unlocked these three levels of silicon-based chips, spending 300,000 units of energy.

Quantum chips will be unlocked after waiting, because now the whole country is waiting to use high-end silicon-based chips, and quantum chips are not in a hurry.

In addition, it is the relevant knowledge of the lithography machine.

Lithography machines are also in the ultra-precision machining technology. He Xingzhou unlocked the ultra-precision machining cutting technology last year and developed the Longteng series of machine tools.

This time, the "Ultra-Precision Special Processing Technology" has to be unlocked, which requires 100,000 energy points.

"To manufacture a lithography machine, photoresist is also needed." Photoresist, also known as photoresist, is a kind of resist-etching film material, which is required for semiconductor processing.

Photoresist is also in the list of Baiying et al.

"Ultraviolet photoresist, suitable for 436nm-365nm lithography technology, requires 10,000 units of energy to unlock."

"Deep UV photoresist, suitable for 248nm-193nm lithography, requires 30,000 units of energy to unlock."

"Extreme ultraviolet photoresist, commonly used in 11nm-14nm lithography, requires 50,000 units of energy to unlock."

"Radiation photoresist, used for higher resolution lithography, can only be unlocked after unlocking all the above photoresists."

What He Xingzhou needs is extreme ultraviolet photoresist. At present, the most advanced lithography machine in the world, that is, extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, can manufacture silicon-based chips with a 3-nanometer process.

With another 80,000 units of energy, He Xingzhou also unlocked the photoresist material technology.

Finally, it is the most important lithography machine manufacturing technology.

The lithography machine is known as the pinnacle of human industrial technology at present! Use light as a knife to sculpt on the nanoscale!

The world's most advanced EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography machine has more than 100,000 parts. If you want to transport a lithography machine, you need to prepare 20 trucks, three freighters, and 40 containers to complete the transportation!

The various technologies it involves cover almost all industrial fields. Some experts once asserted that no country can independently manufacture a lithography machine!

In the list of Baiying Qifang, all the key materials and parts of the lithography machine are all marked with X! It is to suppress the research and development and manufacturing of lithography machines in China in an all-round way!

The main reason for determining the performance of the lithography machine is the "light knife". The shorter the wavelength of the light knife, the more precise the chip can be engraved.

Ultraviolet, deep ultraviolet, and extreme ultraviolet. At present, only ASML in the windmill country can manufacture extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.

It is worth mentioning that Shenzhou already has a certain deep ultraviolet lithography technology, and He Xingzhou also included the information. He only needs to unlock the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology.

Quantum Light Brain: "Consume 300,000 units of energy to unlock extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology."

After unlocking these, He Xingzhou only had 25,000 units of energy left. These are all accumulated during this period from the expanding photovoltaic power station.

"I feel that photovoltaic power stations can't handle energy consumption anymore." He Xingzhou took a look. On the technology tree, subsequent technology unlocks start with hundreds of thousands of units of energy. Photovoltaic power stations save 10,000 per day, and only 30 per month. Ten thousand.

"We have to figure out a way to build a nuclear power plant!" If there is a nuclear power plant to supply energy for you, you should not worry about energy problems within a year or two.

...

Magic City, Institute of Microelectronics.

Here, the country's first 22nm process lithography machine, that is, a deep ultraviolet lithography machine, has been manufactured.

He Xingzhou brought people and the team of Academician Yan Rui from the Northwest Institute of Optoelectronics to come here.

In his team, all the top talents in chip research and development in the country are assembled!

At the project opening ceremony, He Xingzhou spoke to the top talents in the audience: "Everyone, we come from all over the country, from different research institutes, enterprises, and units. Today, we gather here to abandon prejudice, interests and estrangements, and have only one goal. !"

"In order to break the blockade of the lithography machine and high-end chip field, a new generation of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine was developed, and a completely domestic 3-nanometer process chip was produced! Find a real 'heart' for the take-off of the Oriental Dragon !"

"Clap clap clap!" Everyone applauded, and some chip designers and engineers were excited. How could they have thought that these industry leaders could gather together?

If you are in other countries, you can't even think about it, no matter how powerful companies are, they will compete with each other, and it is absolutely impossible to open up their talents and technologies like this!

And the units behind them, after receiving the order, donated their resources without reservation! Just for this 3nm process chip, come out as soon as possible!

He Xingzhou divided the R\u0026D team into four groups. The first group was led by Academician Shi Cheng from the Institute of Microelectronics. He was an important person involved in the design and manufacture of deep ultraviolet lithography machines. He is responsible for leading the design of the 3nm process chip and the construction of the EUV lithography machine.

The second group, led by Academician Lu Jianye, used Longteng machine tools to manufacture related accessories for lithography machines, such as polishing lenses with ultra-high progress!

The third group, led by academician Yan Rui, was led by researchers from the Institute of Optoelectronics and was responsible for researching and manufacturing the "Extreme Ultraviolet Light Knife".

The fourth group, led by Fu Yuquan, a material expert from Huaxin Group, researches and manufactures materials required for lithography machines and chips, such as high-purity silicon and photoresist.

Researchers from various research institutes and group companies are arranged in four groups to cooperate with each other in research and development.

...

The outside world doesn't know anything about Shenzhou's efforts to gather national strength to tackle high-end chips.

As time went on, the situation became more and more dire.

In the same month, Huawei announced that it would stop selling the latest Huawei mobile phones and related smart products, and the supply of other products was also reduced.

As soon as the news came out, Huawei's business was hit hard, and consumers protested.

However, this is just the beginning. Then, Rice Company, which originally claimed to be entering the high-end smart product market, also announced that the new model will not be released for the time being due to the shortage of chips.

The same is true for other smart product companies. Those companies that have just obtained He Xingzhou's technology authorization to manufacture smart glasses also said that the Lingguang series smart glasses plan will be postponed indefinitely!

It's not over yet! Because chips are the heart of modern electronic products, it is not just mobile phones and other products that use high-end chips.

China FAW Group and Biyati and other auto companies announced that the production of high-end electromagnetic floating vehicles has been temporarily suspended due to insufficient supply of on-board chips!

Smart home companies announced that high-end smart home products will be temporarily suspended, and so on!

These are industries that the general public can see, but invisible, such as some high-end equipment that the military needs to equip, and are also in trouble due to the lack of chips.

On the Internet, the public also began to express panic about this. Some people asked: "What happened? Will domestic high-end smart products be discontinued in the future? Does foreign countries even make money from chips?"

"Don't make money? Haven't you read the news? This month, the performance of companies like Apple and Samsung has skyrocketed, and the high-end smart product market has been almost completely occupied by foreign products!"

"Yeah, even if I support domestic production, domestic products are all low-end products. I heard that they are all sold now, and they are all chips in stock. What should I do when they run out?"

"Can't we develop it ourselves?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to develop a lithography machine? By the time we catch up with foreign companies, the market will be occupied by foreign companies. One step behind, one step behind, the gap will grow bigger and bigger!"

"Don't talk about the chip, the latest computer graphics card can't be bought! I really vomited. Now I want to buy a high-end computer graphics card, and I have to buy it from abroad, an expensive one!"

"It's impossible to do it abroad for so long? It should be released in a few months. I heard that Qualcomm and Intel are protesting!"

Some people are still expecting that the restrictions on chips can be lifted abroad.

But they don't know that the world's technological landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes, and this time the attitude of Bai Ying and others is firmer than ever before!

...

"Lu Mi, help me enter the program!" He Xingzhou was at the National Institute of Industrial Software at this time.

He is designing an industrial software specifically for designing chips.

In the past, they used foreign software to design chips. When the new list appears, the chip design software is not allowed to be used, and they have to design their own.

"The program has been entered." Lumi's sweet voice sounded in He Xingzhou's ear, and a new piece of industrial software had been generated.

He Xingzhou opened it, formatted the original chip design of the Magic Capital Institute of Microelectronics, entered it into it, and then began to improve it.

He is now standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and he is assisted by the scientific and technological information of the quantum optical brain. The speed of research and development is leaps and bounds!

Several other groups also obtained some technical information provided by He Xingzhou.

It's like solving a math problem. If you haven't learned the relevant knowledge points, you can create an equation by yourself to break it down. Whether you can do it or not and how long it will take is unknown.

Now He Xingzhou is equivalent to providing them with the equation, they just need to understand and use it.

And these talents are elites gathered from all over the country. For them, understanding and application is simply a piece of cake.

Every day, some technical difficulties are overcome in the related fields of lithography machines and chips.

For example, extreme ultraviolet photoresist, with the application of materials, Fu Yuquan's team has obtained laboratory products and is studying the technology of large-scale industrial production.

...

Sakura Island, a photoresist industry conference is being held.

Photoresist is on the list as one of the must-have materials for semiconductor manufacturing!

Ninety percent of the world's high-end photoresists come from Sakura Island, and some of them are produced in the country of lights.

Because of the "comprehensive cooperation" agreement between Sakura and Baiying and other parties some time ago, the sale of high-end photoresists in China has been completely stopped.

This has had a huge impact on international photoresist giants, such as Synthetic Rubber (JSR), Tokyo Yinghua (TOK), Fujifilm and other groups.

"Aoki-kun, in a month, our photoresist revenue has been reduced by 30%. According to this trend, our company will suffer heavy losses!" The representative of ISR was dissatisfied with the big man Aoki who came to the meeting. Protested, "The agreement you are participating in does not consider the harm to our industry at all!"

"That's right, we have never disclosed any related technologies, why don't we even sell our products?" the representative of Yinghua Group questioned, "Shenzhou enterprises are our big customers!"

Aoki Daigui knew that they were all full of resentment, but this was something decided above, and he was unable to change it.

He had no choice but to say: "High-end semiconductor manufacturing is in both ours and the western market. We will hold a semiconductor-related international trade event. Your company can adjust its business direction and still maintain the market."

"This is completely different!" The representative of Fujifilm said dissatisfiedly, "As far as I know, this incident, the Dow Group of Dengguo took the opportunity to expand and seize the market, which has seriously affected our business."

Not everyone supports this so-called "comprehensive cooperation", but they oppose it.

"Aoki-kun, we hope to lift this restriction as soon as possible!" This was their unanimous request.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. You are the pride of Sakura, and the high-end photoresist technology is in your hands. As long as you survive this period of time, you are still the boss of photoresist in the world!" Daigui Aoki comforted them , He knew that this decision could not be changed, so what they said was useless, and he came here today to listen to their complaints.

"What if China breaks through the EUV photoresist process?" the representative of JRS questioned.

Aoki Taigui smiled and said, "The breakthrough of technology is something that happens overnight."

"You can rest assured that Shenzhou is now facing the pressure of seven industrial countries, and they will inevitably make concessions, and then you will get more! They will not be able to last until then!"

He was smiling when he saw another representative walk into the conference room. It was Taichi Furukawa, the representative of Sumitomo Chemical Group.

Thanks to Lonely All the Way, Cruel Wolf Without Regrets, Qinglian Taoge and other book friends for their rewards.
