Chapter 30 Do you want me to save you?

Li Xiangda couldn't figure it out, he really didn't understand.

When did China make such great progress in eda software? Today, when internal information exchange is extremely high, it is impossible that there is no news at all.

Even if it is secret research and development within the country, the partner they choose should not be HiSilicon. After all, among the top semiconductor manufacturers in the country, SMIC is also the one at the forefront.

He took out his cell phone and started calling the EDA manufacturers one by one.

"Hey, Mr. Su, ah, I am Li Xiangda, I'm just asking you about it. Have you Xinhe recently developed an EDA that can design a minimum of 7nm?"

"What? No?"

"Oh, OK, it's okay. Oh, don't worry, we are discussing now, and the three major factories should be able to handle it."

"Okay, let's hang up first."

Li Xiangda looked at his people and shook his head, "I asked Mr. Su of Xinhe, and he said that he had not developed new software at present and had been maintaining the previous version."

"What about other companies? Why don't you ask again, Mr. Li?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, it's important, you have to figure it out."

The others were not very willing to give up, and Li Xiangda was unwilling to give up just like that. He nodded, "Okay, I'll ask the others again."

Soon, Li Xiangda asked several domestic EDA R&D companies with this strength, but the answers they received were basically the same.

No, they did not develop new EDA, nor did they cooperate with HiSilicon.

"I seem to have forgotten someone."

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu from the Nine Heavens of Huada!"

Huada Jiutian is well-known in the domestic chip industry. It is the software R&D company with the largest staff and the strongest strength at present.

The early days of HiSilicon started with cooperation with Huada Jiutian to reach its current scale.

But Li Xiangda's hand paused on the dialing interface.

It is very easy to call this phone, but if you still get a negative answer this time, you will basically have no expectations.

If even Huada Jiutian failed to develop an EDA comparable to overseas, then there would be no one in China!

After struggling in his heart, Li Xiangda finally called.

"Hey...Mr. Liu."

"Ah, Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I know everything about you, but unfortunately, HiSilicon's ecaliber software is not provided by us. Although our BGI has been trying to catch up with the technology of the three major manufacturers in recent years, it has failed many times. I don't think you don't know."

"Ah..." Li Xiangda was stunned. It seemed that he had called too many times, and some things were spreading in such a quick time.

"Actually, we also want to know who provided HiSilicon's EDA, so we also specifically contacted HiSilicon for this, but they didn't say that it was the software developers who asked for confidentiality when signing the agreement. To be honest, I'm also having a headache now."

It's really a headache.

Headache BGI has added a strong competitor in the country.

But are there few competitors from BGI?

In contrast, people like Li Xiangda are more worried that they will still be able to maintain their job tomorrow.

"I understand, I'm disturbing Mr. Liu."

Although he was unwilling to accept it, Li Xiangda should have guessed this ending long ago.

Could it be... they had already agreed in private?

Li Xiangda and everyone were looking at each other and had his own guess in his heart, that is, these semiconductor manufacturers have conspired to cooperate with EDA software.

However, these little bosses were completely unaware of this news.

At this moment, everyone felt discouraged.

It seems to be abandoned by the world.

The fighting in shopping malls is a way to eat people and not only face pressure from overseas, but also to fight to the death in China.

"It seems that we have no way out." After thinking it through, Li Xiangda seemed to see a lot.

Fortunately, he gave up the semiconductor industry and real estate path, which can be reduced at most.

But the others present can't do it.

Just rely on semiconductors to make a living. If you do this, you either start transforming from tomorrow, or lay off employees and reduce the scale of your business, and directly compete with those micro-enterprises.

But isn’t it a waste of development after so long?

But they really can't think of any other way except this road.

"Yesterday, Jiangcheng Baida Semiconductor announced to the outside world that it had cancelled its listing preparations and had withdrawn nearly half of its cooperation orders. Previously, Baida Semiconductor had already planned to start moving towards a large semiconductor company, and this group reform is inseparable from the sanctions of the three major manufacturers."

"Shocked! More than a dozen leading semiconductor companies in the country have begun to lay off employees on a large scale, setting off a wave of layoffs in the industry. At this time, large-scale enterprise transformation has never happened before, which may change the domestic semiconductor development situation. Some experts say that the domestic semiconductor industry will begin to regress, but some experts believe that this may be an opportunity for large semiconductor companies to make rapid progress!"

In the factory canteen, Song Sisi and others were paying attention to the latest news.

"It seems that the biggest beneficiary this time is Haisi." Song Sisi expressed his opinion.

"That's right, who gave them the honor to climb the big tree of Old Chen?" Tang Yuda said in admiration. He didn't care much about what happened outside. In recent days, he and others have been impressed by Chen Yuan.

The research and development problems of carbon-based chips are first of all because the carbon is too active and the dielectric constant is low, and the idea of ​​using carbon-based chips instead of silicon-based chips has not been realized.

At the beginning, the people in the team imagined adding impurities to the diamond to make transistors, which could achieve superior performance than silicon semiconductors. But an inevitable problem is that diamond production costs are high, and it is almost impossible to achieve mass production, so they gave up.

Later, Lao Chen directly proposed to make single-layer carbon nanotubes.

This material is not only cheaper than diamond, but also is a good semiconductor itself.

In fact, it is easy to understand about carbon nanotubes. There may be the word nano, and I think it is a very amazing and impossible technology. You only need to know that the reason why single crystal silicon can be used as chip materials is because of its semiconductor properties.

Carbon elements are not semiconductors, so they need to be purified and made into carbon nanotubes with semiconductor properties.

In fact, carbon nanotubes are a concentric circular tube formed by overlapping carbon atoms arranged in hexagonally. Since its structure is the same as the general sheet structure of graphite, the diameter and the tube wall have helical angles, so its conductivity is good and it is a conductive material itself.

Moreover, during the conduction process, the current will not diffuse horizontally along the carbon molecules, and can only transmit current through the axial direction. Therefore, the electrical loss during the transmission process is relatively small, and in terms of conductivity, it is possible to quickly defeat the silicon semiconductor that has lateral diffusion.

In addition to excellent conductivity, carbon nanotube materials have high strength and are even stronger than steel. At the same time, the flexibility of this material is also particularly good, suitable for flexible folding.

Moreover, the diameter is small, only 1-3 nanometers, which is particularly suitable for small-sized transistors, which can form a bulk control structure and is also conducive to circuit control.

Various scientific research teams in the world led by ibm, led by the state-owned country, have been studying carbon nanotube chip technology and have made some progress.

However, their production process is not stable enough at present, and there is no advanced silicon-based chip that has already formed a system in the process.

After Chen Yuan proposed this plan, he immediately started the R&D process. Twenty-eight people lived in the research room for nearly a week and finally achieved initial production of 3-nanometer transistor devices.

Chen Yuan made an indelible contribution to this. He held a technical seminar no less than dozens of times. Basically, after encountering a problem, Chen Yuan would hold a meeting to discuss the solution as soon as possible, but Chen Yuan was the one who solved the problem in the end.

These people are just giving suggestions and giving Lao Chen some ideas.

Now when I think of Chen Yuan’s previous working condition, I still admire him.

Especially Chen Qing, he treats Chen Yuan like his current generation.

He is the one who is most excited about the implementation of a 3-nanometer transistor.

I remember crying excitedly at that time.

Tang Yuda couldn't help but look at Chen Qing. The old guy noticed his gaze, as if he remembered his embarrassment, and lowered his head like a girl.

"But then again, what will Old Chen plan to do now?" Bai Siyi looked at everyone with her chopsticks in her mouth.

"I don't know, and I don't know if I will intervene at the summit. Now they may not know that we have such a powerful Huasheng Edah." Song Sisi's eyes shone, and she was more proud. You must know that the one who developed Huasheng Edah was her former student. How could she not be proud?

Although now the identity has been changed directly.

"By the way, Brother Qi, why didn't Old Chen come today?" Zhang Haiyang asked.

Secretary Qi shook his head absent-mindedly, "Maybe he's rested."

He was thinking about Song Sisi's words. If it weren't for Huasheng before, Shangfeng might not have the ability to intervene, but now they need to ask Chen Yuan for his meaning.

After all, he is the master of Huasheng.

Moreover, the difficulties encountered by those medium-sized semiconductor companies may not necessarily be remedied.

Just as those experts said, there are good and bad.

The advantage is to throw away smoke bombs from the outside world, making them feel that China is not good now.

Really defeated.

Then they made great efforts in the factory.

Moreover, with his understanding of Chen Yuan's personality, he should not do anything that is not profitable.

...

Inside Patat semiconductor.

"Ah, cut..."

Who the hell is scolding me behind my back again?

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Mr. Li, let's sit down and talk first."
