143 If you want to make chips, this material cannot be less
Chen Yao picked up the books on the ground and handed them back to Guan Xinyan. "Senior sister, are you surprised?"
"Can you not be surprised?" Guan Xinyan caught the book: "No matter how you think about it, you will never think that you can write novels."
In her stereotype, Chen Yao is a science and technology worker, a technology tycoon who runs a technology company, but he didn't expect that he has another identity - a science fiction writer!
Given the popularity of this book now, he is indeed a writer.
Chen Yao said lightly: "It's just amateur writing, I really didn't expect this book to become so popular."
"Awesome, senior sister admires you more and more." Guan Xin R&D said from the bottom of her heart.
She is a typical science fiction fan and once wrote a science fiction novel, but after it was published, it was lukewarm and she didn't even earn back the publication fee of the physical book.
It is so difficult to become popular when writing physical books. She has always admired those writers who write science fiction.
Unexpectedly, the writer I always liked was by my side, which surprised her and surprised her.
Chen Yao walked into the cafeteria with her while chatting.
Holding the plate, there was a cream bread, two sausages, and a cup of soy milk, steaming hot and fragrant.
As soon as Chen Yao sat down, he received a call, which was from the Galaxy Awards Conference.
She has a very nice voice from a young lady. She informed Chen Yao that she was nominated for the Galaxy Award and told him to attend the science fiction conference in Zhonghai City three days later.
Chen Yao asked her while eating the bun: "How likely am I to win the Galaxy Award?"
The young lady on the other side of the phone smiled and said, "The competition for this year's science fiction conference is very fierce. You are just a newcomer. You need to participate. Don't hold too much hope."
Although Chen Yao's novels are very popular, he is a newcomer after all. There are many big names in the domestic science fiction industry, and those big names are the hottest winners.
Don’t think about the highest honor Galaxy Award, there is still a chance for the newcomer award.
Chen Yao was a little amused and cried. The young lady was talking so hard that she asked her what she needed to prepare for attending the conference and hung up the phone.
Guan Xinyan drank soy milk and asked, "Can you win the Galaxy Award?"
Chen Yao thought for a while and said, "The probability is not high, it is less than 50%.
There are too many big names in the science fiction world. The chances of a newcomer winning the Galaxy Award are indeed not high, but no matter what, he has to participate.
Think about how interesting it is to attend a science fiction conference as a tech tycoon.
The Galaxy Award is not just a science fiction conference that awards big prizes. It promotes the development of the science fiction industry, but also has imaginations about future black technology.
Science fiction, to put it bluntly, is a technological fantasy, and Chen Yao is a real technology practitioner, a person who can turn fantasy into reality.
While having breakfast in the cafeteria, Guan Xinyan's eyes never left the books. Chen Yao's novel made her unable to stop.
When she learned that the writer of this book was by her side, she asked many questions about her psychology.
I thought she would ask questions about scientific rationality in the book, but as a result, she asked about the relationship between men and women in the book.
When writing this book, Chen Yao did not spend too much chapter on the relationship between men and women, which instead caused more questions to her.
Everyone lives in a dungeon. Do humans still need to get married? Do they still need to buy a house?
Chen Yao smiled. No matter how high or low social status or education are, women have similar values on certain issues.
20 minutes later, the chemistry laboratory.
Chen Yao, wearing a mask and a laboratory suit, was facing a microscope and observing the chemical material inside the glass ball - photoresist.
Photoresist is an indispensable key microelectronic material for manufacturing chips. It is difficult to produce and top-notch technology is mastered by Japanese people.
Domestic photoresist companies can only produce mid- and low-end photoresist, and their production is far from comparable to Japanese companies.
Semiconductor photoresist relies entirely on imports, and there is a high chance that it will be strangled by Japan.
Don’t think that only the United States will do such things when technology is choking. Japan has done it before, and it is South Korea’s semiconductor industry.
Is South Korea's semiconductor industry strong?
Samsung is the leader and the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer. It has strong technology in chip design, production, packaging and other aspects.
There are also mobile phone memory memory chips, almost all South Korean companies.
But there are three key chemical materials that South Korea cannot make.
High-purity hydrogen fluoride, photoresist, and fluorinated polyimide, these three materials are almost monopolized by Japanese companies.
Once upon a time, Japan restricted the export of these three chemical materials, which directly paralyzed the entire semiconductor industry in South Korea!
Without the supply of raw materials from Japan, all Samsung and other products are paper tigers.
Among the three materials, high-purity hydrogen fluoride, photoresist, and fluorinated polyimide, the most difficult one is photoresist, which is extremely difficult to make technological breakthroughs.
This microelectronic material is not at all conspicuous, but it is an indispensable material for making chips. Without it, nothing can be done.
Generally speaking, it takes 10 to 50 times to lithography on silicon wafers using a lithography machine.
The most advanced photoresist can withstand the ability to resist group to the power of 15.
In addition to being used in chip production, photoresist also requires photoresist to be used in the production of mobile phone screens. The photoresist produced by China's Jingdongfang relies on imports.
Take flat panel displays for example. The color filter inside is a key device for realizing color display. Color photoresist and black photoresist are required to make color filters.
The entire photoresist industry has exceeded 10 billion, and most of it has been eaten by foreign companies.
Chen Yao’s one-stop semiconductor company is about to realize the production of 1nm chips, and photoresist will definitely be used at that time.
There is no domestic company that can produce it, so you can only cooperate with Japanese companies.
A big tree attracts wind. At that time, you will be choking and not letting you use it, and chip production will be paralyzed.
You must make semiconductor photoresist yourself and to the top.
When Chen Yao established a semiconductor company, why did he call it one-stop? It was to start from scratch in the semiconductor industry.
From the raw materials of chips, production equipment, chip design, production, packaging and testing, you have to do it yourself.
Raw materials are even more upstream of the entire industrial chain. The more upstream the enterprises, the higher the industry's status and the higher the technical barriers.
Since even the highest-end lithography machine has been developed, there is no reason not to make photoresist, the two are in harmony with each other.
This is a super big cake worth 10 billion.
To this end, Chen Yaoxin registered a new company called Shenmo Chemical Materials.
Specializes in the research and development of electronic chemistry and new materials.
