Chapter 232 Lithography machine! A world where only old Americans are injured has been achieved

Chen Nian did not lament Zhang Rui's experience for too long - no, it should be said that this was not an encounter for him, but retribution.

Then there is no need to worry.

Therefore, in fact, there was not even a single commotion in his heart. He just secretly thought that there should be many situations like him and his family in the country.

When all these people are cleansed, can the domestic economic and financial environment truly be on the right track.

However, this is not something you should worry about.

The group of experts represented by Chen Feiyun will handle it.

The most important thing for him now is to cooperate with the white paper given to him by Chen Guo, to help the country, and to quickly seize the leading position in the space vacated by the United States.

The more positions you can take while taking advantage of the opponent's defeat, the easier it will be to fight in the future.

Where to start?

Battery? Rare earth? Food?

Just as he was silently planning in his mind, Li Xiang suddenly complained:

"By the way, have you noticed that mobile phones are getting more and more expensive nowadays?"

"As technology develops, it should become cheaper and cheaper. Guess what, when I looked at the mobile phone that day, it actually cost several thousand yuan!"

"There are a lot of functions that I don't know what they are used for. It seems that I am being taken advantage of. I don't even know what the functions are."

Chen Nian's mind was not here. When he heard his words, he just answered casually:

"There's no way, it's Qualcomm tax."

"Qualcomm tax? What the hell?"

Li Xiang asked inexplicably.

Chen Nian suddenly came back to his senses.

He suddenly realized that there was no such thing as a Qualcomm tax these days.

After all, Qualcomm’s main development now is still in base station chips.

Their business has not yet expanded to terminal products such as mobile phones on a large scale, because smartphones that require powerful chip performance have not yet appeared.

This may be an opportunity.

It is now April 2006, and there is still a full year before Apple releases its first true smartphone next year.

If our own company can seize this opportunity and release smartphones first, then it is very likely that we will have the final say in the smartphone market in the future.

And, its meaning doesn't stop there.

For a smart device that will have the most applications, the largest impact, and the highest popularity in the future, its long tail effect is extremely amazing, and the benefits generated by technological fission must also be considerable.

Even its small changes will affect the development of countless related companies.

Just now I was still thinking about which position to choose. Now it seems that the smart terminal market is an important position, isn't it?

Thinking of this, Chen Nian suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and answered:

"Qualcomm is a company. They have many patents and charge a lot of money in the field of mobile phones and communications, so the price of mobile phones has been driven up."

"This is the so-called Qualcomm tax, but this term is not yet popular."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Li Xiang nodded thoughtfully, and then he asked:

"So in what fields are Qualcomm's patents mainly located?"

"A lot. Including communication protocols, chips, transmission equipment, etc."

"To put it simply, they can be seen in fields related to communications and intelligence."

"Oh, that means that if we want to bring down the price of mobile phones, we have to kill Qualcomm first?"

"That's too complicated, so forget it. With this size, it might be another mountain-moving project. The mountain-moving project hasn't been completed yet, right?"

Chen Nian frowned slightly, then relaxed.

He shook his head slightly and replied:

"It's not finished yet."

"However, the scale of this project should not be that large."

"We just need to solve the core problems."

"As for taking down Qualcomm, someone will take action."

After bidding farewell to Li Xiang and returning to his residence, Chen Nian immediately sat down at the table and began to prepare his next plan.

Obviously, the "core issue" mentioned by Chen Nian refers to the chip.

But in fact, he wants to go one step further and print directly on the photolithography machine.

The reason is very simple. According to the historical experience he gained from his previous life, in the field of chips, the most serious bottleneck for us is EDA and lithography machines.

EDA, on the other hand, does not involve too many "hard obstacles" in nature.

In other words, it is a direction that can produce results by spending money.

In the final analysis, there is only one most difficult thing, and that is the photolithography machine.

Once the problem with the lithography machine is solved, the dilemma of the chip problem can be easily solved.

Because it can not only solve the core chip manufacturing problem, but can also be used as a certain exchange condition in exchange for more things.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian spread out the white paper and began to write down his judgments one by one.

Objectively speaking, in this era, the development of the domestic chip industry is extremely backward and its prospects are slim.

Although the so-called Hanxin incident was stopped after Chen Nian gained influence because of Chen Nian's status as a time traveler, the weak foundation still makes the development of this industry extremely slow.

A typical manifestation is that SMIC has even built its ninth factory, but its production standards are still stuck at the 300 micron level, not even touching the nanometer threshold.

Under such circumstances, if you force yourself to use a nanometer-level photolithography machine, the likely results will be:

The technology is available, but the infrastructure and technology are insufficient, resulting in scientific researchers looking at the drawings in disbelief.

To solve this problem, the first thing to do is to bring up the basic technology.

But the problem is that the basic industries involved in chips are too cumbersome and complicated. If we break through them one by one, I don’t know how much time it will take.

The best way is to use "flagship projects" to stimulate industrial development.

For a moment, Chen Nian couldn't help but fell into a conflict.

This is a complete paradox.

If you want to develop a photolithography machine, you must first develop the basics.

But to develop the foundation, the photolithography machine project must exist.

He let out a long sigh and thought to himself:

Sure enough, there are some things involving underlying rules that cannot be solved even by cheating.

Otherwise, just throw the problem out and let the Spark team solve it?

yes!

Why do you have to put everything into your own hands?

If all problems can be solved by oneself, then why do we need Spark?

The idea is clear.

Chen Nian suddenly had a smile on his face.

So, he opened the system non-stop and began to study the analytical source point requirements of the lithography machine.

Now, he has 6.8 source points in his hand, which he managed to save after the last mountain-moving project drained him dry.

According to the system prompts, the source points required by the 3nm lithography machine have reached 19 points.

Even if it is 5nm, it has reached 16 points.

The only thing within the acceptable range is 20nm level photolithography machine technology.

Only 5.2 source points are needed.

Compared with the 10nm and below technologies that he was used to in his previous life, it seemed a bit underwhelming, but then he thought about it, this is a photolithography machine after all.

Even 20nm technology only matured after 2014.

In 2007, the S5L8900 chip used by Apple was still 90 nanometers.

Take it out now, eight years ahead of schedule, which is enough.

With this foundation, even if the domestic lithography machine technology has seized the opportunity, it should be able to continue to develop without the need to continue to analyze it.
To be continued...
