Chapter 972: Is there good news that you want to hear?
Being nominated as an academician is a surprise for Zhao Guanggui and a reward for Xu Chuan's meritorious service.
Needless to say, the importance of carbon-based chips. For China today, this should be the most important "stuck" technology in the field of science and technology, bar none.
Its importance is not only reflected in its technical value, but also in its impact on the country's scientific and technological competitiveness and strategic position.
Whether from the perspective of data processing, electronic device function realization, energy management, or from the perspectives of national security, economic development, and technological competition, chips play an irreplaceable role.
Breakthroughs in the chip field will bring China a new take-off, and the world will no longer be able to stop it!
Of course, Zhao Guanggui is not the only one who rewards people according to their merits.
This time, the carbon-based chip research can take off within the Institute of Materials with this project.
It is no exaggeration to say that every person who participates in the project, from the core scientific researchers to the aunt who cooks and sweeps the floor, will be rewarded.
From the honor of nominating academicians to the distribution of project bonuses, Xu Chuan has never been stingy in rewarding scholars who have made contributions and achievements in the field of scientific research and academics.
Moreover, this is only an internal reward from Xinghai Research Institute.
Breakthroughs in carbon-based chip technology will be rewarded for the country anyway.
Compared with the medals within the institute, the rewards from the country will only be more generous.
...
After learning about the breakthroughs and current situation of carbon-based chip technology, and explaining everything that needed to be explained clearly, Xu Chuan did not stay any longer at the carbon-based chip laboratory.
Although it is still some time before the official launch of carbon-based chips, he has already seen the brilliant future.
Carbon-based chips will surely replace silicon-based chips and become the mainstream!
Of course, how to promote carbon-based chips is not something he needs to consider.
Xiongxin No. 05 has been produced. Although they are still a long way from high-end chips, there should not be many problems in industrial mass production.
As early as a year ago, the industrial chain and industrial park developed based on the development of carbon-based semiconductors had already begun to integrate.
There is a branch base in Jinling. The carbon-based laboratory in the suburbs of Qixia and nearby supporting facilities serve the Xinghai Research Institute's 'carbon-based chip' project.
As for the upstream and downstream of carbon-based chip products, there is no need to worry about this.
Whether it is Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute, which provides high-quality carbon nanotube materials, Huawei HiSilicon, which is an integrated circuit design center, or SMIC, an integrated circuit wafer foundry...
Today, with the breakthrough in carbon-based chip technology, everyone has enough confidence to develop the market for carbon-based semiconductors.
For China, a huge country, industrialization has never been an issue that needs to be worried about.
With a slight curve in the corner of his mouth and a smile on his face, Xu Chuan quickly returned to his office.
For him, in addition to the related impacts brought by the breakthrough of carbon-based chips, there is another aspect that can also be taken care of.
That is the academic journal "Exploration" he founded!
While the main journals and sub-journals of Exploration·Mathematics, Exploration·Physics, etc. have successively had their own opening publications, "Exploration·Materials" finally has its opening paper.
Namely "Method for high-density integration of carbon nanotube arrays based on carbon-based semiconductor materials".
Using carbon-based semiconductor materials to high-density integrate carbon nanotube arrays as the opening paper of "Exploration·Materials", the treatment is even more grand to some extent than Exploration·Mathematics/Physics.
Because the importance of this paper far exceeds the first two opening papers.
Theoretically, this paper is enough to be published in "Exploration·General Journal" because it changes the future of the entire human race!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the first time since the founding of "Discovery" that a paper that is enough to be published in the main issue is used as the opening issue of a branch issue.
Of course, it was impossible for him to write down the complete technology.
A paper is a paper, and technology is technology. They cannot be regarded as the same thing.
Even when applying for a patent, many times you will not fully write down all the technical details.
For Xu Chuan, handling this kind of thing has long been as smooth as a fish in water.
But before he officially started working on the paper, he still needed to share the good news.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened his address book, found a phone number that he had almost never called, and dialed it.
Although the research and development of carbon-based chips has combined research teams from enterprises and universities such as Huawei HiSilicon, SMIC, and Shuimu Peking University, the core is dominated by Xinghai Research Institute.
In other words, the core is the S-level ‘carbon-based chip project’ of the Institute of Materials Research.
Throughout the entire R&D process, both the scientific researchers recruited from Xinghai Research Institute and the R&D personnel from HiSilicon and SMIC signed confidentiality agreements and related contracts.
The progress of the entire project is strictly prohibited from being communicated to the outside world, including the headquarters of HiSilicon and SMIC, before it is put into operation. Obtaining the progress of the project also requires relevant approvals.
This was determined as early as when the cooperation agreement was signed.
The phone rang twice and was quickly connected, and the voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Ren?"
"It's me, Academician Xu. Why do you have time to call me today?" On the other end of the phone, Mr. Ren from Warwick greeted him with a smile.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "There is good news, do you want to hear it?"
"Of course, you must listen to the good news brought by Academician Xu!"
"As for the projects we have cooperated with before, the finished products have been produced, and the latest results are..."
Before Xu Chuan could finish his sentence, Mr. Ren on the other end of the phone suddenly trembled. He suddenly sat up straight from leaning on the back of his seat and asked hurriedly: "Is there anything?
Is there any progress?"
Hearing the urgent inquiry on the other end of the phone, Xu Chuan smiled and said: "We have prepared finished chips that are sufficient for commercialization, but the performance is still not as good as the current high-end silicon-based products."
Taking a deep breath, Ren Zhengfei asked quickly: "Academician Xu, are you convenient tomorrow? Or whenever I have time, I will go over."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I should be here in Jinling these days. I welcome Mr. Ren to come at any time."
"Then let's meet and talk in detail?"
"OK."
After chatting briefly and hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan thought for a while, found another phone number and dialed it.
"Hey, Yuan Qian."
"There is good news. Research in the field of carbon-based chips has made a major breakthrough..."
