Carbon-based chip research institute.

This is already Lu Zhou did not know the first time to come here.

However, unlike usual, this time he stood here, he can clearly feel that the atmosphere here is different from the past.

how to say?

Although he used to come here more or less because of similar purposes, for example, research has made some progress, but this time it is different, he can clearly see from the eyes of those researchers that the Long March is finally done. The joy and the relief of the public...

At the same time, he can clearly feel that the root of all this is because of the thin piece of the size of his thumb, the square shape of the thumb, and the black lacquer.

"It's this thing."

After carefully handing the sheet to Lu Zhou’s hand, Professor Wu Tianqun looked at it and excitedly introduced, “Dragon 1000, the first prototype chip of the Dragon series! Also known as Dragon 1! The specific performance parameters are your previous performance parameters. Seen, the 28nm process technology we have adopted has successfully increased the integration from 3 million transistor units per square millimeter to 10 million!"

"According to the needs of friends, our initial positioning of this Longteng No. 1 chip is to serve medium and high-end servers, and the benchmark is Intel Xeon x56 series chips. Although we are on the paper data of integration and process. They are a little inferior to them, but with the superiority of the physical properties of carbon-based transistors, I can't exaggerate that we have already opened half of them on the performance data!"

As far as possible in the popular language, Professor Wu Tianqun told Lu Zhou the performance characteristics of this chip.

Although the density of 10 million transistors per square millimeter is less than that of Intel, which has been able to achieve 100 million integrations, this is nothing. But carbon-based transistors and silicon-based transistors are two different things in themselves, and they cannot be completely generalized.

Take the benchmark Xeon series chip as an example. According to the model and product positioning, the integration degree is about 50 million. However, in the horizontal comparison, the Longteng No. 1 with the integration degree of 10 million is already available. Performance is superior to the Xeon series chips with higher integration!

It can even be said that the achievement of the integration of 10 million has achieved such results, which happens to be the place that makes him most proud. Because this happens to be an explanation, their technology has more room for improvement!

By the time they develop the integration and process to the same level as the carbon-based chips on the market today...

I am afraid that the whole industry has to be called from the heart to call them a father.

All in all, although the technology has just started, the performance of the Longteng 1 chip has initially demonstrated the superiority of the carbon-based chip.

Whether it is the highest power consumption of 20w, or the clock frequency of 3.7ghz, or the superiority of carbon-based transistors in physical performance compared to silicon-based transistors, Professor Wu Tianqun said the enthusiasm of this sentence with a positive tone.

After listening to Professor Wu Tianqun’s expression, the expression of interest on Lu’s face is getting stronger and stronger.

Although he is not very familiar with the chip, the contribution to this project is mainly focused on the theoretical level and the improvement of sg carbon materials, but from the popular description of Wu Tianqun and the excited expression, he can still intuitively feel How powerful is this technology.

Carefully looking at the engraved texture on the surface of the chip in his hand, feeling the lightness of the hair, Lu Zhou could not help but give a compliment.

"It's so light!"

Compared to the texture and weight of a silicon-based chip, this thing is as thin as a piece of paper... No, it is better to say that from a chemical point of view, it and paper are inherently a type of thing.

Professor Wu Tianqun said with a smile: "This is also one of the advantages of carbon-based chip materials. Our unit volume is not even half the weight of the same volume of silicon-based chips!"

In fact, it's not just a light texture like paper.

With the chip in his hand, Lu Zhou suddenly discovered that this thing is quite magical and can be bent at a small angle. And when he removes the force applied to the ends of the chip, the whole chip returns to the original straight like a spring piece...

It's like a piece of hard paper.

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly realized one thing.

"I just took this thing... is it really ok?"

Professor Wu Tianqun said with a smile: "This is no problem. This stuff is already half a product on the assembly line. The unit price is so low that I may not believe it when I say it. You are broken, I still have a bunch here, no. In the way."

After hearing this, Lu Zhou finally put down his heart, and the index finger and thumb made the strength even greater.

He is very curious, where is the limit of this chip.

As the force applied to the ends of the chip increased, finally, when the bending angle reached more than twenty degrees, the black-painted chip finally broke from the middle and broke into two pieces.

Looking at the slightly surprised expression on Lu Zhou's face, Professor Wu Tianqun continued.

"Our chip is mainly made of sg series materials, and its performance in bending resistance is good. I believe you know more than I know. But... I still don't recommend this stuff, generally it is curved. In the case of folding, it will still affect its current transmission effect."

"I just tried it," Lu Zhou threw the wreckage of the chip into a special recycling bag, and immediately looked at Professor Wu Tianqun. He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I haven't come for so long, you even industrialized. The problem has been solved."

Professor Wu Tianqun said modestly: "The problem of industrialization is mainly solved by the people at the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We mainly do carbon-based transistors and specific integration processes."

Lu Zhou nodded and then asked: "When the situation is optimistic, when will it be put into production?"

Professor Wu Tianqun thought for a moment and said: "According to the news from Haisi, we can start production at the end of the month... In fact, they are more anxious than us, foreign semiconductor manufacturers are becoming more and more unruly, and The US government’s policy has been suppressed. I talked to their chief technology officer about this issue. They are now counting on our carbon-based semiconductors and can take them to the international level.”

After hearing the latter half of the sentence, Lu Zhou’s eyebrows raised a slight degree of curvature, and he couldn’t help but say, “I’m sure they won’t be disappointed.”

Professor Wu Tianqun laughed and said: "That is inevitable! For the power of our technology, and the strength of our Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies, I am quite confident!"

Stayed in the carbon-based chip lab for a while,

Back to the Dean's Office, Lu Zhou thought for a while, and finally decided to call the phone to the Secretary for Science and Technology, who just left him.

The phone rang three times and it was connected. Secretary Li’s voice quickly came from the phone.

"Hey? What's the matter?"

Lu Zhou: "It's a bit of a thing."

Although "I have something to call myself", I really said it myself, but I just called Lu Qian on my forefoot, but I still let Director Li be speechless.

Nima, can't you just say something in person?

I have to wait for myself to get on the bus and call again.

"A little thing just didn't say it? Tomorrow, I am going to the high-tech park to meet, and I will come back to you tomorrow."

"It's about Longteng No. 1, on that carbon-based chip."

I haven't waited for Lu Zhou to finish a sentence. Director Li's whole person is fierce and immediately changed his mouth and said, "Where are you?"

Hearing the eager voice from the other end of the phone, Lu Zhou’s heart was so smiling and said softly.

"... still in my office."

"You wait for me, I will be there soon... Xiao Li, turn around! Go back to the Institute!"

"But there is an hour in the conference on the high-tech park."

"Stupid! It’s important to have a meeting, or it’s important for Professor Lu!"

"Yes……"

In a messy ending, the phone hangs up.

The expression was slightly dumb in the office chair, and the returning Lu Zhou immediately shook his head and threw his head on the table.

Longteng No. 1 has already been made.

According to Professor Wu, there should be no problem in the production, Jiangcheng Semiconductor Industrial Base and the entire fifth largest semiconductor industry group are serving this carbon-based chip project.

All the supporting facilities have been prepared even before the project starts. Warwick Hirsch, which is marching from the chip design to the most upstream of the semiconductor industry chain, has enough motivation to do the best in industrialization.

The only thing that needs to be considered now is how to play this card.

The index finger was lightly clicked on the table. After Lu Zhou thought for a moment, he finally shook his head.

Forget it, the people who think about this problem have a headache, or discuss it with professionals.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone again and called the phone to a number that would not be used.

In fact, this number will stay in his address book, he is a bit strange. He almost forgot about it, when did he add it?

"Hey? Wang boss?"

"Well, it is me."

"The chip you ordered, we have already made it."
