Chapter 856 [New Micro Semiconductors Major Breakthrough]
Time passed by, and everyone was looking at this material.
After a long time, one of the participants suddenly slapped his thigh. His shout made everyone subconsciously wake up. He turned and said in amazement: "Damn it, why didn't we think of such an idea?"
Peter Bernard squinted his eyes. When he saw this posture, he had a bad feeling in his heart. This material might be genuine, and China might really have made a major breakthrough in the field of lithography machines.
The technician who suddenly slapped his thigh looked at everyone and said: "ASML is constantly pursuing miniaturization in the development of lithography machines. Because we do not produce chips ourselves, we must miniaturize lithography machines, but the Chinese people's thinking
Completely opposite to us, they actually reversed their thinking and developed towards large-scale thinking. It is really a genius-like idea..."
Peter Bernard waved his hands and said: "Reverse upsizing? This is unscientific!"
The technician immediately said: "No, this is science. Chip manufacturing is the journey from quartz sand to artificial intelligence. The first is a high-purity wafer, which is like a crystal column similar to a glass column. Use extremely fine steel wire to cut off a piece
A thin sheet is coated with a layer of photoresist. Then an oscillation laser is used to produce a high-energy laser beam, which irradiates tin droplets at high speed to produce a light source with extremely short wavelength. Then the prefabricated chip image in the photomask is projected onto the photoresist.
Then you can print out the circuit diagram just like developing a photo.”
"The key point lies in this complex light source. Don't you just want a high-energy light source? Because of the physical properties of wave-particle duality, accelerators can be used to accelerate particles. The particles run fast enough, infinitely close to the speed of light. Because of the wave-particle duality,
In terms of iconicity, particles can also be a kind of wave, and light is also a kind of wave, so what wavelength of light cannot exist?"
"So, to filter out particles, you only need to use light. No matter what kind of nanometer process it is, it is really simple and crude to run a few more laps. The amount is large and the tube is full. Using a spectrometer, a particle accelerator can drive dozens of lithography machines.
Even hundreds of lithography machines are not a problem, this is really a genius idea."
When Peter Bernard heard this, he was stunned on the spot and said with astonishment: "What did you say? A particle accelerator can even drive hundreds of lithography machines?"
this……
With such a terrifying production capacity, the chips produced in the future will not be cheap, and high-end chips will not even look at even a dog on the ground.
Peter Bernard said quickly: "No, no, no, please explain it to me clearly. Start over and say it carefully."
Hearing this, the technician thought about it again, and then said: "Their plan is to reverse the idea of miniaturizing ASML lithography machines. It is to directly build an ultra-high-power light source station and accelerate the light source ring light through high-energy
There can be dozens, hundreds or even more laser output ports distributed on the optical path."

"The high-energy laser output from the output port can process chips with many nanometer processes. For example, the 65nm A output port corresponds to the construction of a 65nm process lithography machine.
The B output port is 20 nanometers, which corresponds to the construction of a lithography machine for the 20 nanometer process. This light source station will form a super huge chip production industrial base."
"So he doesn't need to deliberately manufacture the light source with any process. He can just speed it up from the light source terminal with high energy. Whatever process is needed will be built corresponding to the output port. If it is not needed, he can just ignore it."
"Because our company does not need and cannot manufacture chips locally, in order to facilitate transportation, it must miniaturize the lithography machine and customize the light source according to the needs of the lithography machine. But their idea does not need to do this. They themselves are familiar with chips.
There is a huge demand, and they also need to manufacture chips with different processes in large quantities. There is no need to transport lithography machines back and forth. Their plan to build lithography machines according to the formation of light sources can perfectly solve their needs..."
In the end, Peter Bernard listened to the technician's retelling for the second time, and this time he understood it completely. In short, if ASML is building a lithography machine, then the Chinese plan is simply building a lithography machine.
A photolithography factory.
No wonder it is a reverse ASML miniaturization idea, because the demand for chips in China is too great, and the cost of this kind of large-scale assembly line production will only be lower.
Peter Bernard suddenly realized that once this approach was proven to be successful, North America's current series of blockades and sanctions against Xingyu Technology, including the chip technology of the Eastern powers, would become a piece of waste paper.
.
If the other side operates with the idea of building a "lithography factory", then ASML will starve to death.
The lithography machine branch of the technology tree, known as the jewel in the crown of Western industry, was suddenly illuminated by the Chinese? The times told you that they were going to change without even saying hello to you?
Peter Bernard was really anxious and panicked now!
