Since the journal "Discover" published two papers related to carbon-based chips, the silicon-based semiconductor industry has been like a volcano erupting under the sea, setting off a shocking wave.
Carbon-based chip technology has made a breakthrough, and silicon-based chips are about to come to an end.
This earth-shattering news was personally disclosed by Professor Xu Chuan, the most famous person in academic circles today. This is explosive news for any country in the world.
In the past few days, both Western countries, led by the United States, and private capital that control the silicon-based semiconductor industry chain have fallen into a panic.
Almost everyone is worried that capitalists are worried that carbon-based chips will replace silicon-based chips, that carbon-based semiconductors will occupy the silicon-based semiconductor market, and that they will lose their monopoly status and endless wealth.
And ordinary people are also worried about being laid off by companies at any time.
After all, once the silicon-based chip and silicon-based semiconductor industries begin to end, the capital that occupies this huge market will inevitably withdraw from it.
And layoffs are often one of the most effective methods.
The market is no longer vast, so why do we still support so many people?
For a time, the entire group that relied on the silicon-based semiconductor industry for a living was panicked.
From ordinary employees to the company's middle and senior management, and even the working emperors or capital holding shares at the top, everyone is afraid of the future.
But at this moment, doubts about the breakthrough of carbon-based chip technology sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The first person to raise relevant questions was the world-famous semiconductor technology and science magazine "JSTS Journal".
The purpose of this journal is to provide a forum and place for exchange and discussion for researchers engaged in a wider range of integrated circuit technologies, and to improve the overall VLSI technology.
The editor-in-chief of JSTS said in an interview that the two papers published in Discovery may have serious problems.
They teamed up with Professor Hobbs Webster, a top expert in the semiconductor field at California Institute of Technology, to study the "Discovery General Journal" and found that there were anomalies in the data disclosed above.
For example, in the experimental data published by "Exploration General Journal", the thermal design power consumption TDP of the carbon-based chip is only 30W, but the main frequency is as high as 5.8GHz...
Even though carbon-based materials have advantages in the semiconductor field, according to data calculations, it is impossible for finished carbon-based chips to achieve such exaggerated performance data.
To this end, they also provided complete simulation calculation data and performance. According to the data of integrating 10 million carbon-based transistors per square millimeter, the performance of the simulated carbon-based chip is only less than half of that in the paper.
In short, the experimental data in the papers published in "Exploration General Journal" may be fabricated and exaggerated.
It has to be said that in the field of semiconductors, the influence of "JSTS Journal" is still quite large. When this interview report came out, it immediately started a lot of discussion in the semiconductor technology and science forum.
In the eyes of many scholars or researchers engaged in silicon-based semiconductor industry research, the simulation data disclosed by Professor Hobbs Webster of the California Institute of Technology is indeed very interesting.
What level of performance can the carbon-based chip achieve, and whether the experimental data in "Exploration·General Journal" are falsified, have sparked quite a discussion at this point in time when it was already a hot topic.
And it is not just the "JSTS Journal" that has publicly stood up to question and express its stance.
In response to the experimental data published in "Exploration·General Journal", many experts or top companies in the semiconductor field stated that they are conducting research and simulation experiments, and expressed great doubts about whether carbon-based chips can achieve this level.
Even the most authoritative journal in the semiconductor field, "IEEE", was interviewed by the Vice Chairman of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, saying that IEEE had doubts about the experimental data of "Discovery·General Journal"
And the IEEE hopes that the Xinghai Research Institute, which made this carbon-based chip, can cooperate with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' investigation, or provide basic chip samples for experimental testing.
When IEEE, the most authoritative journal and magazine in the semiconductor field, publicly stood up and expressed its opinions, the entire semiconductor field became agitated.
Whether in the industry or outside the industry, the discussion about carbon-based chips has become lively again.
[...a bunch of idiots! Look, I have long said that it is impossible for carbon-based chips to replace silicon-based chips. This thing is like the metaverse. It is impossible to do it with the current development of science and technology!]
[I am even more doubtful whether carbon-based chips have really been developed. After all, there are too many people researching this technology, such as Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, and so many excellent semiconductor companies around the world. In carbon-based chips
There is almost no progress in the world, and an energy research institute at Xinghai Research Institute, a laboratory that has never been involved in chips, suddenly announced that it had completed a carbon-based chip... Even if it was Professor Xu who disclosed the news, I would not
Keep a skeptical attitude.]
[If the paper in "Exploration·General Journal" was signed by Professor Xu as the first author, I might still believe it, but it was just a corresponding author... I even doubt whether he was serious
I have examined the experimental data inside.]
[e=(′o｀*))) Alas, it seems that Professor Xu is also following the old path of other journals. A journal as good as "Exploration" will publish this kind of paper, which is a complete insult to the unified theory of strong electricity.
!]
[Perhaps Professor Xu did not personally review this paper? After all, he is not a scholar in the semiconductor field. Maybe Discovery hired external scholars to do the review? 】
[But I don’t believe that he didn’t know anything about this matter.]
...
It has to be said that in the field of semiconductors, the strength of these established companies and Western interest groups is indeed quite exaggerated.
Whether it is the media, academia, or the semiconductor industry, a large number of people, including top scholars and companies, quickly stood up to support and oppose it.
In just two or three days, the opinions on the Internet, academia and even within the industry have completely reversed.
From the beginning, everyone had high expectations for carbon-based chips, and then most people began to question that the experimental data in the "Exploration·General Journal" paper might be fabricated.
These Western interest groups that control the world's media and the countries and companies that occupy the silicon-based semiconductor industry chain have found a breakthrough point or "smear point" this time. It is indeed quite sharp.
They did not question whether the core technical problem of high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays in "Exploration·Materials" has been truly broken through.
Instead, he chose to question the carbon-based chip data published in "Exploration·General Journal".
On the one hand, this paper is only the corresponding author of Xu Chuan's name, not the first author. To the outside world, this means that it may just be based on Professor Xu's reputation, or it may be in his name.
A scientific research project, not something he personally studied.
Even Professor Xu may not have fully understood the specific parameters, performance indicators, etc. of carbon-based chips.
After all, whether he did it himself or not is two completely different concepts for the academic community and the outside world.
Although for the capital interest groups that control all this, there is not much difference between Xu Chuan's nominal corresponding author and the first author.
After all, ever since this guy became famous in academia, he has not been named as the corresponding author on several papers, or participated in any other academic experiments that are not within the scope of his research.
Several papers with his corresponding author listed are basically graduation theses of his students.
In this case, many people actually know that there is not much difference between the name of the corresponding author and the name of the sole author.
But ordinary people don't know this.
Obfuscation is still very beneficial to today's semiconductor industry.
At least they must give confidence to the industry and investors to support the position of silicon-based semiconductors and ensure that they will not collapse too quickly.
.......
For Xu Chuan, it is not unusual to encounter doubts in academic research.
Even if he has completed the proofs of three major Millennium Conjecture problems in mathematics, if he is lucky enough to prove the next Riemann Hypothesis, what should be questioned will still be questioned.
But to be honest, saying that he falsified experimental data and falsified experimental data has never happened before, let alone in this life, or even in the previous life.
Of course, he also knew very well why the outside world's public opinion had suddenly changed in the past two days.
The chip and semiconductor industry is the core industry of the United States. It is not an exaggeration to say that they control the lifeblood of the world.
Although the oil-dollar system is crucial, it is only the surface of the American hegemony.
To be precise, the United States did not establish hegemony because of oil, but the United States has already established hegemony and subsequently chose oil as an anchor.
What supports hegemony is, at its core, powerful military power and booming high technology that leads the world.
These two are the real weapons for the United States to dominate and harvest the world and support its own development.
In the high-tech field, the chip and semiconductor industry is undoubtedly the core foundation.
When this core basic area is touched by them and even has the ability to overturn it, it will be really damned if the United States does not take action.
Discrediting the "Explorer" journal and questioning the data fraud and falsification of experimental data published in the "Explorer General Journal" is just the beginning.
There will definitely be a series of combined punches in the future to target the development of carbon-based chips and carbon-based semiconductors.
No country, especially the United States, will allow its methods of controlling the world to be overturned.
Even if they really may be overthrown in the future, at least now they will try every means to maintain their control and monopoly position.
If the two papers in this issue, "High-performance carbon-based chips based on high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays!" and "Methods based on high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays based on carbon-based semiconductor materials!" were not published in the "
In the journal Discovery.
Instead, it is published in academic journals controlled by the United States, such as "IEEE" or "JSTS" and other SCI journals. What are the consequences of welcoming it?
As you can imagine, there is only one consequence, and that is ‘withdrawal’!
Even if these two papers are completely correct and there is no falsification of experimental data, it is impossible for the United States to allow them to openly break their monopoly in the semiconductor field.
But now...
A smile appeared on Xu Chuan's lips. "Exploration" is a journal he founded by himself. Although it was established not long ago, its reputation in the academic world is no less than that of old journals such as "Nature" and "Science".
Already.
More importantly, there is nothing the United States can do to take advantage of Discovery.
Unless they can ban Discovery from being sold in the United States.
But is this possible?
Thinking from the buttocks, it is impossible for a dog sitting in the position of president to make such a decision.
If Lao Mi really wants to ban the sales of the "Discovery" journal in the United States, the first people to jump out to oppose it are local scholars in the United States, and the second to jump out are the high-tech companies in major universities.
After all, although "Discovery" currently publishes only a few publications, every paper published has an extremely huge impact on the academic community and even the scientific community.
It is like the artificial SEI film in the lithium battery industry. If it is not used, the capacity, battery life, safety and other aspects of your lithium battery will be greatly affected.
So for today's United States, what they can do is to do what they are doing now and try their best to discredit the "Exploration" journal through various channels such as the media, semiconductor industry, and academia, and question the carbon-based chips published in it.
Are the experimental data true?
But does this have any impact on them?
In Xu Chuan's view, this is just the last powerless struggle between the United States and the silicon-based semiconductor industry.
As long as the two papers he published are still published in the journal Discovery, their influence will only become stronger as time goes by, and the voices smearing carbon-based chips will only become weaker and weaker.
But for Xu Chuan, he was not prepared to just watch the other party wantonly smear the "Discovery" journal and carbon-based chips!
Their ability to fight back against such simple smear tactics is too much.
Moreover, this kind of slander is related to his personal reputation and the reputation of "Discovery".
Looking at the news on the computer screen, Xu Chuan raised a smile, picked up his mobile phone from the table, and made a call.
"Hello, I'm Xu Chuan."
"Well, yes, the press conference for the finished carbon-based chip..."
