Li Ruo Bai nodded, then looked around before lowering her voice. "A completely new biological material, but I feel... this material shouldn't come from any currently known organism."
Jiang Yan Hai looked at Li Ruo Bai. She blinked her large eyes back at him, then snorted. "You definitely know something. Forget it, I won't ask. It's a unique additive that can make silicon crystal materials somewhat similar to Graphene."
"Or rather, it can become another new material whose carrier mobility at room temperature is roughly seven times that of silicon crystal, and whose electron mobility changes very little under the effects of temperature."
"Of course, Graphene's carrier mobility can reach ten times that of silicon crystal, but this new material is far easier to produce than Graphene. That means it has the potential for mass production, just like chips."
"One more thing—if this material is used, existing chip lithography machines will inevitably have to change. By then, we'll be the ones controlling the new material." Li Ruo Bai excitedly waved her little fist.
Clearly, Li Ruo Bai had put a great deal of effort into this. The fact that she knew so much meant that it was probably being researched at the institute she led.
"Can you already use it to manufacture entirely new chips?" Jiang Yan Hai was rather interested in that.
Graphene could actually already be produced on a large scale, but its cost was relatively high. So for now, it was mainly used in fields such as phone screens, not yet in chips.
Of course, it was hard to say whether the reason it had not been used in the chip industry was because the industry's influence lay in the West. Companies like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and the rest would not readily upgrade their technology before fully
