Chapter 116: The Chip That Shocked The World
After Deputy Mayor Zhou left, Lin Xuan patted Ni Guangnan on the shoulder and said:
"Mr. Ni, thank you for the rest of the time!"
However, Ni Guangnan looked excitedly at the busy staff in white dustproof suits inside the special glass.
and those high-precision machines.
After a while, he said with tears in his eyes:
"Dong Lin, to be honest, when you came to Ark Technology to find me, I didn't think you could really make a difference in the chip industry.
After all, you are too young, and you are different from those people who came to me before. "
Having said that, he paused and said affectionately
"However, when I really came to the Chaoxing semiconductor factory in Shanghai, I saw Zhang Rujing, Zhang Shangzhou, Chen Datong and others.
These are top chip talents, I think maybe yours is really good, because each of them is an outstanding elite,
And the person who can get their approval, you must have something special!"
But at this point, Ni Guangnan almost choked up:
"However, at this time, when I saw those busy figures inside, I felt that revitalizing the florists' chip industry is none other than you.
Maybe you don’t believe it, for countless days and nights on the 16th, my dream is to lead the Chinese chip industry to lead the world,
But when I was in Lenovo, I didn't do it. When I was in Ark Technology, I thought I did it, but in the end it still failed.
But today, I finally met!"
"Although I did not lead this great achievement, I am proud enough to be a lucky participant!"
Seeing Ni Guangnan's excited expression, Lin Xuan admired this academician very much.
Many people may not know that in 1981, Ni Guangnan was invited to work at the Maple Leaf National Research Institute. At that time, Ni Guangnan's annual salary was 43,000 Canadian dollars
If calculated according to the official exchange rate at that time, Ni Guangnan's salary was 70 times that in China at that time.
And Ni Guangnan's salary in Maple Leaf Country is also 5% of the high-income group in Maple Leaf Country,
However, once, he saw a pile of shoes at the entrance of the Maple Leaf National shoe store with the words "1.99 Canadian dollars for a pair of choice"
Seeing such a cheap price, Ni Guangnan found it unbelievable, so he walked over,
Anyone who wants to take it out casually has a look, and there are English words "planting flowers and making" written on it.
At that time, flower planting and manufacturing were synonymous with crude and low-level.
But in Ni Guangnan's heart, planting and making flowers cannot always be synonymous with crude and low-level.
After the visit period expired, he also rejected the retention of the Maple Leaf Country National Research Institute.
Someone asked Ni Guangnan about the pros and cons of choosing to return to China.
Ni Guangnan said:
"One thing I can be sure of, if I don't go back, all my work will not be helpful to "planting flowers"!"
It can be said that Ni Guangnan has the same spirit as those pioneers of the older generation who helped build the new country.
Treat money like dung.
They all have lofty ideals, and it is precisely with such ideals and spirit that Ni Guangnan developed the LX-80 associative Chinese character graphics microcomputer later on.
And the name of this machine is the origin of the company.
Although Ni Guangnan did not achieve the achievements of many older scientists in the end, this is not his own responsibility.
He has a whole body of passion, but he encounters a company like Ark Technology that injects his conscience.
Therefore, under the discouragement of later generations, he started academic research and never entered the company again.
This also caused a long period of time when the media and news did not report on him.
When the "Ni-Liu Controversy" was revealed again in later generations, he was already a very ordinary gray-haired old man.
As for that Liu Zhi, he earns a salary of 100 million yuan every year with his conscience.
Talking about his contribution to conscience.
Touted by countless media, regarded as an idol by countless entrepreneurial elites.
If the "Ni-Liu Controversy" is not revealed again in later generations,
Who would remember Ni Guangnan?
Therefore, for Ni Guangnan, who devotes himself to scientific research without seeking fame and fortune,
How excited I was to see Lin Xuan take out the world's most advanced chip at this time.
Although this is only the most basic memory chip rather than a logic chip, for him,
This is already the most solid and successful step taken by the florists.
One and a half months later, after Ni Guangnan, Zhang Rujing and others worked day and night.
The first 12-inch wafer enters the lithography machine.
Lin Xuan's purchase of 1G memory technology from the system store is a very mature technology.
The chip uses very little mask, and the technology of this small country is just right.
Although in terms of quality, Lin Xuan's memory chip is not as good as the 20-year-old memory chip that Xiaotian claims to be able to use.
But in terms of cost, basically only one-half to one-third of the small day is needed.
Even with the addition of imported photoresists, cleaning agents, crystal pillars, etc.
Calculate the lithography electromechanical cost, machine depreciation cost, labor cost, etc.
A 1G memory chip costs less than 100 yuan.
And 1G memory chip, but have to sell 899 yuan per chip.
The profit is so high that it is beyond people's imagination.
This is why, about 80% of memory chip profits are owned by upstream manufacturers.
But those memory module manufacturers can only get the remaining ten percent of the profit.
Of course, we're talking about high-end memory chips here.
For example, low-end memory chips are suppressed by big manufacturers, and it is difficult to make money even if they are produced.
Philosophically speaking, big factories earn excess surplus value due to technological iteration.
Back to reality, when the first wafer was fed into the machine.
The ultraviolet light will be continuously irradiated, and the masks placed on the upper layer of the wafer are like circuit diagrams,
Once the UV light passes through the mask, notches appear on the wafer.
And the so-called chip is formed by stacking countless transistors formed by these nicks.
With the first chip going through photolithography, etching, packaging, and testing more than 600 processes. 820
Originally, a chip production process would take at least 2-3 months.
However, Ni Guangnan and others worked day and night, and finally completed it within the time promised by the Shanghai government.
Lin Xuan had an extra memory chip in his hand.
The test results of the samples are very satisfactory, and even the first production yield has reached 80%.
The production target has been fully achieved.
This chip was quickly delivered to the magic city government.
The Modu government did not dare to neglect, and immediately invited experts from Fudan University, Jiaotong University, and Modu Microelectronics Research Institute to conduct acceptance testing together.
Because "Hanxin" has appeared before, although the Shanghai government does not believe that Superstar (SNA) will do the same.
But this time the acceptance test will be much stricter.
Fortunately, 1G memory chips have not yet appeared in the world, and there is no need to worry that this chip is a product that has been polished by another company's LOGO.
So the acceptance work is still very fast.
In the end, the experts unanimously determined that the chip was qualified and successful because it met its design specifications.
At this point, Florist's first world-leading chip was born.
Although this is just the simplest memory chip, the government of Shanghai City still held a press conference,
Announced the chip of Chaoxing Semiconductor.
And this news completely caused a sensation in the world.
