"Is this done?"
Magic City, Hua Xin International.
Ke Lan asked Meng Song in a daze.
With Ke Lan's long-lasting stability, this was the first time she had seen such smooth sample chip production, and it was successful without encountering any major problems.
"It's strange. It's also a wet process. This Photoresist has no line collapse problem when it is made into Overlapping Chip. It shouldn't be. Is there some detail that I didn't notice?"
Meng Song didn't answer her. At this moment, he was staring at the instrument with all his concentration, looking at the structure and circuits inside the chip, muttering to himself.
He was surprised to find that his sudden idea of applying Hua Ke New Material's Arf Line Photoresist to ZOZEN's overlapping architecture chips produced unexpected results. The previously unsolvable line collapse problem was solved, and a real Overlapping Chip sample was obtained.
As the chip manufacturing process advances to smaller sizes, the distance between the circuits inside the chip becomes shorter and shorter, and the circuits are prone to collapse.
Especially in the wet process, the retaining wall between the lines will collapse as soon as the pure water is flushed.
But now that Hua Ke New Material and Arf Line Photoresist are used, the strength of the internal circuitry of Overlapping Chip has become stronger, resisting the erosion of pure water.
This is a bit outrageous, so Meng Song is a bit difficult to understand.
Everyone at Hua Ke New Material had a smile on their face, and so did the Jinling University team.
Even with Wen Yuanlong's maturity and prudent attitude, his face was full of smiles at this time.
After staring at the result for almost an hour or two, Meng Song stopped worrying, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "It was indeed a success!"
"Okay!"
"Beautiful!"
"Great!"
"Now I can finally feel proud!"
"Yes, yes, I've had enough of Little Country's birdiness!"
Everyone present was in high spirits and beaming with joy.
How many years?
In the field of Arf Line Photoresist, it has always been dominated by Little Country, which has been severely restricted all year round. They don't even remember how long it has been.
However, they are not numb, they still maintain their blood and passion, and they vow to seize this high ground and make domestic production a reality without any restrictions.
Now, they can finally say loudly: They did it!
From today on, they can clearly tell the world that offense and defense have changed. The era of Little Country is about to pass, and their era has arrived.
"It seems that Fei Yang Company is indeed extraordinary!"
Wen Yuanlong praised him, and said without mocking himself, "It seems that I was presumptuous and wanted to accept someone else as my student? I'm ashamed, I'm just as good as someone else's student."
"Mr. Wen is serious."
Lin Liqiang said quickly, "There are specialties in the art industry. Feiyang President Zhou started with optical materials, so it is normal for him to have unusual technology in the use of light."
Lin Liqiang is happy, but also regretful, and has some awkward regrets.
After all, this is not a success that he completely led the research and development, and even its importance must be discounted by half. The real hero is Nanjiang, who is thousands of miles away.
Ke Lan nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "It should be like this."
Overlapping Chip's success made Ke Lan feel very good, and he could finally let go of his long-standing fear.
Zhong Zheng Company's chip shortage problem has made Ke Lan, the chip R&D director, unable to eat or sleep well in the past two years. He has become much older and has been thinking about how to break the situation in his dreams.
In terms of chip design, we have passed the stage where we need to worry.
At this stage, one and only Chip Manufacturing has huge shortcomings.
tjd's cut off of supply quickly put Zhong Zheng Company into a passive situation. Zhong Zheng Company had to switch to Hua Xin International and mobilized a large number of people to work with Hua Xin International to publicize the Chip Manufacturing problem.
Meng Song leads the way!
During this period, Ke Lan led the team to propose the design plan for heterogeneous chips, Overlapping Chip.
Especially Overlapping Chip shows huge advantages in both design principles and large computing power simulation.
It is a pity that Overlapping Chip is stuck in manufacturing, especially Photoresist. Even Arf Line Photoresist imported from Little Country. Although samples can be produced, tape-out has repeatedly failed, and naturally there is no way to talk about success. The pressure is concentrated on Meng Song, but as the R&D director, Ke Lan is also under great pressure.
The designed chip cannot be manufactured, so what's the point?
Now, how could Ke Lan not be happy when he heard from Meng Song that the sample was successful and solved the key problem of line collapse?
This means that Overlapping Chip from ZOZEN is about to be released!
After everyone was happy for a while, Meng Song announced, "I will apply to the company now to tapeout Overlapping Architecture Chip again next week!"
Ke Lan immediately said, "I will follow up on the whole process. I will also report the matter to the company and mobilize capable personnel to participate."
Lin Liqiang asked in disbelief, "Mr. Meng, do you still use our Photoresist?"
"Yes."
Meng Song nodded and confirmed.
"Okay, we will do our best."
Lin Liqiang nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Wen Yuanlong asked about another matter, "Mr. Meng, Mr. Ke, can the news of the successful sample test today be made public?"
Ke Lan said with a smile, "Mr. Wen, I would have forgotten about it if you didn't tell me. It must be made public. In order for this kind of good news to excite the market, we also need to use this kind of good news to hit back hard at certain forces and let them know that without them, we can still do well!"
As he spoke, Ke Lan's momentum gradually became more high-spirited, and his tone became more decisive and full of power.
Meng Song thought for a while and expressed his agreement, "I agree with Mr. Ke. This matter must be made public. We cannot always be bullied by others. We must also feel proud for once!"
"I agree!"
Hua Ke New Material R&D boss Lin Liqiang also expressed his agreement, with an extremely happy look on his face.
When this news is released, it must be bombshell.
Hua Ke New Material As a high-tech materials research and development company and a listed company, if there is such "heavy" news, the stock price will definitely rise sharply. As the R&D boss of Hua Ke New Material, he holds a large amount of Original Shares. As the stock price rises, his worth will naturally rise as well.
Several people discussed it and soon let the news out through their connections.
The first person to broadcast this news was the evening news program of the local satellite TV in Shanghai: "Oriental News".
"Hello viewers, welcome to Oriental News...
Photoresist, is an important raw material for manufacturing wafers. For a long time, most of Photoresist has been imported, especially the high-end Photoresist, which has been monopolized by foreign companies, and domestic chip manufacturers have been severely restricted. But starting today, that's gone forever! Please see below the detailed on-site report from the headquarters of Chip Manufacturing business Hua Xin International..."
The reporter of "Oriental News" rushed to Hua Xin International as soon as he received the notice, and then interviewed Meng Song, the technical boss of Hua Xin International.
Facing the camera, Meng Song talked eloquently. "The current high-end Photoresist market is basically monopolized by Little Country companies. Hua Xin International is applying this time. Photoresist comes from the domestic brand Hua Ke New Material. According to our tests, Photoresist from Hua Ke New Material is better in performance than Photoresist imported from Little Country..."
