North America, Silicon Valley.

"Luo Jia is a profit-oriented businessman." Jewish dwarf Larry Page said with a playful look when facing many bigwigs in the field of technology: "You must believe me. Now Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology seem to be aggressive and launch a crazy offensive on us, but all of this is just a bargaining weight on the negotiating table."

Larry Page turned his head and looked at his old partner Sergei Blin. This Russian fighting nation still didn't like to talk. He had a cold face, like a cold wave in Siberia that was frozen to death.

"About Luo Jia, Sergei and I are very familiar with each other." Larry Page raised his chin and said, "I remember that when the Star Search Engine came out, the engine screening mechanism, even today, is still unprecedented. It seems to have penetrated the human mind. The engine will present you with the results you want. The algorithm is so clever that we have to give you the disadvantage."

"In just a few months, Star Search was like the Mongolian cavalry sweeping the world. It completely defeated Baidu and Bing, and extended its tentacles to the North American land. For a while, Sergei and I thought that Google was really going to die and we could not resist those Chinese barbarians, but what's the result? Are we still alive now?"

After hearing the shameless Jewish boast, someone finally couldn't help but snorted and said coldly: "Hmph! The reason why you are still alive is because of compromise! Although Google's search engine has been saved, your Android has been rubbed to the end by the Star System!"

"That was a complete massacre! The Chinese people started from the Great Wall built by their ancestors, and killed the Middle East and Africa, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, and the Andes and the Mariana Trench! Just because you were unable to stop it, they lost the crucial mobile operating system! Are you still embarrassed to mention it today?"

Larry Page's face was gloomy and uncontrollable laughter came from around him.

Although Google seems to have a good reputation among the people, many ignorant people like Google very much, but within the technology circle, everyone knows what Google is doing.

For example, Google has always claimed that it does not do evil, but what about the facts?

According to the Prism Plan leaked by Snowden, North America monitors the world, and the only major technology groups that object and refuse to cooperate is the Apple that everyone thinks is the most domineering and dislikes the most.

Google, which is usually full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, ran to cooperate with the North American authorities to monitor all netizens. Google did the best, and they even helped the North American authorities develop cyber weapons.

The world is very complex. We who live in this complex world not only need to listen to their words, but also observe their actions. True benevolence, righteousness and morality do not require a big fanfare to promote it. Those who shout slogans are clamoring for fear that others will not know often thieves and prostitutes.

"Actually, my partner only wants to express one core meaning, that is, for businessmen, everything can be negotiated." Sergei finally couldn't help but speak: "Based on our experience in dealing with Luo Jia, he is a typical businessman, and we should negotiate with him as soon as possible."

"So far, Xingchen Technology has only three trump cards, photoresist, industrial software, and semiconductors. Only lithography machines are not enough, so Starchen Technology cannot cause any big storms. But if we continue to wait and wait until they get the mask, wafers, packaging, and more upstream semiconductor technologies, then negotiate, it will be difficult."

This is Google's attitude. Everyone is a businessman for money. Don't fight any more. While Star Technology has not yet obtained more key technologies, hurry up and negotiate.

Some of the bigwigs at the scene nodded and agreed that they were a hardware manufacturing group led by Intel, Nvidia, and Amd. Although Xingchen brand photoresist is just a very basic chemical material and is very cheap, for the semiconductor manufacturing industry, this thing is really fatal.

Xingchen brand photoresist is modified and fully synthesized, which can greatly improve the yield rate. Using Xingchen brand photoresist, a single chip costs 100 US dollars. If it is exchanged for the Xinyue brand of Neon, it will cost 150 to 170 US dollars. The cost is too high, and there is no money to make a chip.

Who does not make money these days?

So Intel and the others are eager to negotiate quickly, with the huge amount of money making the most.

As for Google, this unlucky child is in conflict with Xingchen Technology, and every time he is still on the verge of the storm, it is quite a bit like anyone who fights Xingchen Technology, but Xingchen Technology is just fighting Google.

Opposing the negotiations is a software group led by Xinxin and Oracle, plus the strength of the North American scientific research community and the military.

"We're finished!"

Just as everyone was arguing, a sudden scream came from the sound. I looked over and saw a young man sitting in the corner. He couldn't figure out that he was the follower of the boss. He was not qualified to go to the conference table, so he hid in the corner and played with his cell phone.

Faced with the questioning and angry eyes of many big shots, the young man was stunned and said in a difficult voice: "I am watching a live interview on Star TV. Luo Jia said that they want to replace the existing silicon wafer with graphene and directly enter the picometer-level process!"

Graphene?

Pizza level!?

Perhaps because the news came too suddenly, the Semiconductor Alliance conference room was silent, with increasingly ugly faces, staring at each other.

The big guys were a little confused at the moment. Is Xingchen Technology's fourth-generation lithography machine powerful?

Of course it is amazing, super invincible, and high-power machines that can be used to manufacture next-generation chips. I am afraid that no one will surpass them in the next few decades.

Since Star Technology's fourth-generation lithography machine is so powerful, why are North America and the West not afraid?

The reason is very simple, the materials are not good.

One nanometer is equal to one thousand picometers. To allow the semiconductor manufacturing industry to enter the picometer-level process, if the existing silicon wafers fail, tunneling and electron migration will occur. Therefore, if you want to create the next generation of semiconductors, you need new wafer materials for the next generation.

As of now, there are not many choices for next-generation semiconductor materials. Either silene or graphene. The common characteristics of these two materials are both explosive performance and extremely difficult to develop. The West has been working on for decades and has not yet found a clue.

Therefore, if Xingchen Technology wants to become a real opponent of the West, it is not enough to have only a fourth-generation lithography machine. It also needs to solve the problem of wafers. As for how to electrically encapsulate rare wafers and what to use for masking materials when exposed, these problems are still not solved on the road.

In short, technological research and development is a very difficult thing. It is definitely not like the ones performed in the movie. If you get the lithography machine in the last second, the chip will be energy-generating in the next second.

"Quick! Send the live broadcast screen to the big screen!"

"Translation, we need a Chinese translation!"

After a brief silence, the scene was completely in full swing.

"There is no fraud, right? If Xingchen Technology really deals with graphene materials, it will be a milestone event that Armstrong lands on the moon! They didn't even hold a press conference and announced it casually?"

"Who said no? Let's take a look first. So suddenly, we were not even prepared at all!"

"Translation! Where is the translation!?"

After some chaos, the projector was finally connected successfully, and the translation was found, and more than one person was found. Since Xingchen Journal has been rampant in the academic community in recent years, people who are engaged in scientific research must learn some Chinese, otherwise they will not be able to understand academic reports.

In the picture, Luo Jia looked calm and said to Professor Yuan Lanfeng: "I need to explain to the audience that large-area graphene is not actually a semiconductor, but an armchair-shaped graphene nanoribbon can be used to create chip semiconductor materials."

Boom ~

Far from North America, the Semiconductor Alliance conference room was in bleakness. All scientists who have worked with graphene know that Luo Jia is right. It is nonsense to use graphene to make chips directly. If you want to achieve next-generation semiconductor materials, you must first mass-produce graphene, and then continue to research the technology to create an armchair-type graphene nanoribbon.

Professor Yuan Lanfeng's eyes lit up and he asked with an excited look, "Then have our graphene nanoribbons been successfully developed?"

Luo Jia nodded gently and said, "Of course, in order to solve the energy band distribution problem, we first choose to calculate the crystal structure and inverted grid of graphene. The so-called inverted grid is Fourier corresponding to the crystal lattice space. The transformed wave vector space sounds very complicated, but in short, it means momentum space. This space is very important, because all the descriptions of graphene electronic movement must be unfolded in the momentum space."

"We calculate the energy band distribution of graphene using the tight-bound model. In the tight-bound model, if electrons want to jump to other places, they need to break away from the potential field of the atom. We regard the electrons near the atom as the main action of the atom potential field, and the effects of other atom potential fields as perturbations, and establish a mathematical model to obtain the energy band distribution..."

Although it was just a live broadcast program of popular science interviews, Luo Jia still tried to maintain a high professional level. His North American colleagues watched it with great interest, but it was actually too late for them to watch the live broadcast, and the key point had passed. Before that, Luo Jia explained Cao Yuan's important invention, the ultrasonic deconstructor.

Ultrasonic deconstructors are a bit like expensive devices used in the medical field, ultrasonic knives, except that ultrasonic knives are used for surgical operations, while sonic deconstructors are used for large-scale graphene decomposition and peeling.

In general, simple, rough and effective are the biggest features of this ultrasonic deconstructor. He opened his mind and brought the lithium niobate nanopiezoelectric film developed for ultrasonic motors into graphene stripping experiments to form an ultrasonic stripping spiral array, achieving amazing results.

As we all know, graphene is a two-dimensional material with a mixed orbital domain of carbon atoms sp2, forming a hexagonal honeycomb lattice and only one atomic thickness. As the thinnest and hardest known material in the world, the thickness of graphene is only 0.335 nanometers. It superimposes 200,000 pieces of graphene together, and only one hair is as thick as a hair.

If you want to peel off graphene with a thickness of only 0.335 nanometers, a scalpel is not good, but ultrasonic waves can be done! Cao Yuan’s ultrasonic deconstruction array creates miracles and solves the major problem of humans obtaining graphene raw materials.

Only with enough and cheap raw materials can there be armchair-type graphene nanoribbons for making chips, and only with more applications of graphene materials in the field of technology will it be possible to use them in the field of technology.

"It's probably like this." Luo Jia said with a smile in the studio: "Now we can make graphene on a large scale. After the lithography machine, we solved the second major problem of next-generation chips, but it is not the time to celebrate or be proud, because we still have to solve mask and packaging tests, and there are still many problems to solve."

Luo Jia talked freely about the problem of lithography machines, the problem of next-generation wafers, and the problem of heaven-defying problems were all overcome.

Far across the Pacific Ocean, the big men in the North American semiconductor field were pale, shuddered, and swallowed with difficulty.

They remembered a sentence that Luo Jia once said a few months ago in this studio.
