Chapter 37 Etching Machine Difficulty

On June 5, Zhou Yu came to a construction site in Daxing District, Yanjing. The factory under construction was the Starfire Technology Graphene Chip Factory.

The 12-story building that has been built next to it has a gray look and looks a bit simple, is the laboratory of the R&D center.

These factories are assembled using prefabricated modules, and the construction speed is very fast. The exterior wall of the R&D center is sprayed with a layer of protective paint on the cement surface.

Yuan Keqing led Zhou Yu to visit the construction site and asked for credit: "Mr. Zhou, do you see if my suggestions are very good? It can save 90% of the time by directly using prefabricated modules.

You can spray paint directly outside the house and paste it into wallpaper inside. People can go in and work directly without affecting their health.

This is a laboratory, not a house where you live, so there is no need for fine decoration."

“You have always been very positive, and I am very satisfied with the speed of construction here.

I saw that most of the houses in the chip factory have been sealed, and in about a week, they should be all completed." Zhou Yu said with satisfaction.

"As long as you have enough funds in China, these construction companies can complete the construction for you with quality and quantity. If it is an ordinary prefabricated module factory, it will be able to be built long ago.

Our chip factory has some high requirements, and it needs to be built into dust-free workshops, and some workshops also need to be built into vacuum workshops.

This requires the use of advanced prefabricated modules, and some modules need to be customized," Yuan Keqing explained.

"The holographic bracelet and virtual idol Xianghua continue to provide our company with cash flow. The company is not short of funds. The chip factory must be completed with quality and quantity.

In particular, the vibration resistance level must be high, so that the equipment must be absolutely stable. Even if a low-level earthquake does not have much feeling, the processing equipment will cause displacement.

Even if the chip processing deviates by one nanometer, the entire chip will be scrapped." Zhou Yu solemnly explained.

"Please rest assured Mr. Zhou. As the supervisor, I understand the quality of the chip factory. We have written this requirement into the contract. It is highly shock-proof. Earthquakes below magnitude 6 will not affect chip processing." Yuan Keqing introduced with a smile.

"The chip factory has not been built yet, so we go to the R&D center to see, they are responsible for developing chip processing equipment.

Academician Tian Kai designed and completed the graphene chip and explored the process of graphene chip preparation.

The laboratory can also produce finished chips, and now he is developing chip instruction sets.

The real industrial production of chips depends entirely on whether the R&D center can produce qualified processing equipment." Zhou Yu said expectantly.

He and Yuan Keqing walked into the R&D center, where thousands of people served the scientific research of Xinghuo Technology.

When Shangshu Ma saw Zhou Yu's arrival, he immediately came to greet him.

"Mr. Zhou, welcome to inspect the R&D Center. We are now establishing hundreds of scientific research projects and more than 80 laboratories.

Scientific research projects include everything from basic science to future scientific exploration." Ma Shangshu proudly introduced.

"Don't do these useless things. You can't figure out what I'm doing. What's going on now is the development of graphene chip processing equipment.

Academician Tian Kai has figured out the theory and has also explored the three main processes of graphene wafer processing." Zhou Yu asked immediately.

Ma Shangshu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and hesitated: "This, Mr. Zhou, the reactor for refining graphene wafers has been successfully developed.

We received data from the institute to optimize the reactor we studied.

Production parameters have been formed now, and handed over to Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Company to produce reactors and packaging equipment for graphene wafers. We have also made breakthroughs, which is better than the 25% yield rate of the Institute. The yield rate of our equipment processing chips has reached 85%.

"Don't avoid the important things. These equipment can be studied with the few people in the research institute. It is abnormal that these people in the research center cannot be studied.

The most core equipment for graphene chip manufacturing is an etching machine, which requires etching graphene chips with a 0.1-nanometer hydrogen atomic beam, and dividing one square meter of graphene chips into standard chips.

The graphene wafer is divided into units with different functions through a hydrogen atom beam. This is also the process of graphene chip encoding. What is its research progress?" Zhou Yu asked directly.

"This, this, the processing difficulty of the etching machine is too high. We are investing a lot of manpower and material resources and are overcoming the difficulties." Ma Shangshu said in confusion.

"Take me to the laboratory where the etching machine is developed and see, what difficulties do you encounter? How can you stay stuck for so long?

Academician Tian Kai told me that he chose the etching solution because the domestic etching technology is relatively advanced and will not be choked." Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

The scientific researchers and technical reserves at Academician Tian Kai Institute were insufficient to complete the etching machine.

He thought the research center could make a breakthrough, but he didn't expect that they were also stumped by this technology.

At that time, Zhou Yu chose to let the research institute and the research center go hand in hand to develop graphene chip processing equipment. This method of wasting manpower and material resources is to prevent a unit from being stumped by a certain difficulty.

Unexpectedly, the research institute and R&D center were both stumped by etching technology.

The group of them came to a huge laboratory, and a group of scientific researchers in white coats pointed at a machine about two meters high and 1.5 meters in length and width.

When Zhou Yu saw Yu Zhenfeng also in the crowd, he waved his hand to Yu Zhenfeng and greeted him.

"Director Yu, what is the difficulty of your R&D center being etched?"

When Yu Zhenfeng heard Zhou Yu’s question, he immediately explained: “Mr. Zhou, I have been communicating with Academician Tian Kai’s research institute, and the problems we encountered are very similar.

This is not a problem with the principle of etching technology, but a problem with processing in reality.

Academician Tian Kai designed and processed graphene chips according to the most advanced etching technology in China.

Academician Tian Kai did not understand the principles of mechanicality. He designed this standard. In theory, the etching machine can process chips, but it is difficult to control it during the actual processing.

Because to process the standard graphene transistor into a style that meets the requirements, the duration and bombardment strength of the hydrogen atomic beam need to be adjusted.

Several different hydrogen atom beam launch guns can be made in the laboratory, and each launch gun only processes one transistor.

Etching machines cannot adopt this method. Once this method is adopted, it is like woodblock printing. Each etching machine can only process one chip. If a transistor changes, an etching machine worth hundreds of millions of yuan will be completely useless.

No matter how rich a company is, it is impossible to build such a luxurious production line."

When Zhou Yu heard Yu Zhenfeng's explanation, he immediately understood and smiled: "You just want to change the woodblock printing to movable type printing, but you can't break through the technical difficulties."

Yu Zhenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou means this, but the difficulty is completely different. Not to mention other processing difficulties, it is that hydrogen atomic beams of different attributes interfere with each other and the high-frequency changes of hydrogen atomic beams. These two problems cannot be solved."

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up: "I have an idea. You can design multiple emission sources and prepare hydrogen atom beams with different attributes.

The hydrogen atom beam launch gun is like movable type printing and can connect multiple emission sources.

Connect the launch guns of each launch source, work at the same time, and immediately switch to different launch guns, so as to perfectly solve the problems encountered."
