Chapter 183 The sword is still sharp
”The yield of 5nm is 78%!?”
When Kang Chi heard that the EUV photoresist developed by the School of Microelectronics of Suzhou University had completed the 5nm experiment in Shanghai, he stood up excitedly,
The volume was raised, and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
“Well, the yield of 78% is a bit low, so it is estimated that it can only reach 5nm at most. The yield of 3nm may not even reach 50%.”
”Teacher Wu, this is your fault.” Kang Chi immediately said seriously, “We should not be too greedy. We can’t always get rich overnight, right?”
”And the yield is not just about photoresist. Other factors also have a great influence. They use photoresist from a small notebook, so the yield is estimated to be no more than 85%, right?”
”Well, their original yield is exactly 84%, and ours is actually 6% lower. If it is debugged well, it is hoped that it will reach more than 80%… But you, kid, have been talking more and more like a big leader recently. . ”
”Hey, stop talking. If I were really a big boss, why would I go to work for someone else’s company?” Kang Chi sighed, “Now Brother Wang can graduate, right?”
”Well, don’t worry, I’ll give him to you tomorrow.”
Wu Lihong smiled and looked at Wang Haowen next to him, then covered the microphone and whispered,
”He also made a great contribution to the breakthrough of photoresist this time. He has a smart mind and is hardworking. If he is willing to stay in our institute and university to teach, he may become a Yangtze River Academician in the future. To be honest, I’m really reluctant to let you go…”
”Then you should give him an annual salary of one million.”
”…”
Wu Lihong opened his mouth, unable to refute.
Now it is a money society. Don’t say that their young people are obsessed with money. He was also very anxious when his funding was cut before.
So Wu Lihong didn’t say anything about Wang Haowen’s choice to pursue profit.
And if he went to Kangchi, his future achievements might be higher than if he followed him, especially since he was ready to retreat to the second line.
During this period, Wu Lihong has clearly felt that he is unable to keep up with the efficiency and intensity of the research team.
He can hold on until now, just relying on his breath.
Now that photoresist has finally made a breakthrough, his breath has also dissipated, and he no longer has the courage to take the lead.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, he decided to retreat to the second line and focus on talent training once the photoresist problem was solved.
[The sword is still sharp! ——Wu Lihong, a chip academician in my country, led the microelectronics research team of Suzhou University to successfully develop the first domestic top-level EUV photoresist! The breakthrough of this material marks that my country’s independent chip process will completely enter the 5nm era and be at the world’s first-class level! 】
The next day, when Zhang Dayuan saw the news published in a huge page on the Chinese news, the sour smell from his nostrils made even his students retreat three feet away.
”This old guy actually managed it!?”
Zhang Dayuan was happy for him, but at the same time he felt that God was so unfair!
They are an old man and a young boy in the south, one managed the photoresist, and the other managed the photolithography machine.
How can he save face as Beidou?
Zhang Dayuan couldn’t help but look up and looked at the students who had just discussed the plan with him, and finally sighed deeply.
It’s better not to scold these crooked melons and jujubes. However, Zhang Dayuan was not discouraged. He actually knew Wu Lihong’s physical and mental state very well. With his sickly appearance, he would most likely retreat to the second line after this time.
And my body has always been strong, so it is no problem to hold on for a few more years! As long as I try again, who can’t have a perfect curtain call?
”We have finished the discussion, why are you still standing there!?”
”Hurry up and do the work, finish this as soon as possible so that you can go back and continue to study superconducting quantum bits!”
”…”—— Steel City, Dahan Core Industry.
It has been more than a week since the first production line of Dahan Core Industry was officially put into production.
After the production line was put into production, it immediately started to run at full capacity and made every effort to produce CMOS chips for Wu’an cameras and mobile phone cameras.
But because the production team was established only more than two months ago, it has not even passed the running-in period, and they are all using EUV for the first time.The lithography machine is used to make high-end chips such as 7nm, and the analog circuits on COMS that convert light into digital signals are very unfamiliar, resulting in the chip yield rate of only about 60%.
If the yield rate is not raised, let alone making money, it will be good if it can avoid losses.
This puts Yu Jingmin, who was forced to take on the job as the temporary technical director of Dahan Xinye, under so much pressure that he often dreams of doing research experiments when he sleeps, and then wakes up suddenly because of experimental failures.
But fortunately, his savior has also come!
After Kang Chi spent three days in Pengcheng to help Huawei’s imaging technology department solve most of the problems, he set off directly to Gangcheng and successfully met with Wang Haowen, who came directly from the Magic City, in the parking lot of Dahan Xinye.
“Brother Wang, congratulations, I heard that you are on the list of second authors for the EUV photoresist paper?”
As soon as they met, Kang Chi smiled and shook Wang Haowen’s hand, “Fortunately, Teacher Wu is willing to let me go, otherwise I don’t know what to do with this mess.”
”Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, at work, just call me Xiao Wang.” Wang Haowen hurriedly said modestly, “I can be the second author because Teacher Wu rewarded me for my hard work even though I worked all day and night. You can’t have too high expectations of me…”
”Really? Don’t be so modest, Teacher Wu has a very high opinion of you and thinks you can take on the responsibility.”
”It’s all flattery!” Wang Haowen hurriedly said seriously, “You don’t know, Teacher Wu likes to praise people to high standards, which makes us very stressed.”
”…”
Kang Chi hesitated for a moment, “Why are you nervous? Did you know something?”
”Well… Actually it’s nothing. I just heard that your temporary technical director Yu Jingmin was under so much pressure that he asked to resign twice in one month…”
Kang Chi was speechless and said, “How come you know all this?”
”The semiconductor R&D circle is actually very small…”
Kang Chi nodded, then smiled and patted Senior Brother Wang on the shoulder:
”In fact, you don’t have to be too stressed. Although Yu Jingmin has more experience than you, his experience is all in normal production, and you have more R&D experience than him, and your problem-solving ability is definitely better than his, so I am absolutely relieved to hand over Dahan Xinye to you!”
”And if it doesn’t work, you can also ask for help. Since you are from the school of academicians, your brothers are all your resources. If you can dig a few of them over, it would be great. I can give you a head reward!”
Wang Haowen: “…”
