Chapter 93, Chapter 100101, Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography Technology (Additional updates for 饢龘 and subscription)

He Xingzhou turns on Quantum Optic Brain to view related technologies.

First is the chip. In terms of chip classification, it is mainly divided into two types: carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips. Of course, there is also a kind of light quantum chip, that is, all information is stored in a group of "light".

"I was made by photon chip technology." Quantum Optic Brain said.

Hearing it say so, He Xingzhou inexplicably thought of the giant of light, "Is there an advanced civilization that can turn oneself into light?"

Quantum Photobrain: "Of course, some advanced civilizations completely abandoned the body composed of silicon-based or carbon-based elements and turned into pure energy bodies."

"That level of civilization is already a rare civilization in the universe."

He Xingzhou took back his thoughts and continued to look up from carbon-based chips and silicon-based chips. In carbon-based chips, there are biochip technology, protein chips, gene chips, cell chips, tissue chips...

Even the most basic biochip design knowledge, unlocking requires 100,000 units of energy!

In silicon-based chips, there is the current bluestar human chip development route.

"Unlocking the design knowledge of silicon-based chips for the 7-nanometer process requires 50,000 units of energy."

"Unlocking the design knowledge of silicon-based chips for the 5nm process requires one hundred thousand units of energy."

"Unlocking the design knowledge of silicon-based chips for the 3-nanometer process requires 150,000 units of energy."

Further down, there are 2 nanometers, 1 nanometers and even Ami level, which must be unlocked one by one, but He Xingzhou feels unnecessary.

Because when the chip process is less than 3 nanometers, the manufacturing difficulty will rise linearly, and it will face the quantum tunneling effect, which will make some transistors fail.

At this time, it is possible to change silicon-based materials and use new materials to make...but He Xingzhou saw that with more advanced quantum chip knowledge than this kind of chip, unlocking only needs 500,000 units of energy, and the performance directly crushes these traditional computing chips.

There is that energy point and energy to unlock the quantum chip, is it not fragrant?

He Xingzhou directly unlocked these three levels of silicon-based chips, which cost 300,000 units of energy.

Quantum chips will be unlocked after waiting, because now the whole country is waiting to use high-end silicon-based chips, and quantum chips are not in a hurry.

In addition, it is related knowledge of lithography machine.

The lithography machine is also in the ultra-precision machining technology. He Xingzhou unlocked the ultra-precision machining cutting technology last year and developed the Longteng series of machine tools.

This time I have to unlock the "ultra-precision special processing technology", which requires 100,000 energy points.

"To make a photolithography machine, photoresist is also needed." Photoresist, also called photoresist, is a kind of resist etching film material, which is needed in semiconductor processing.

Photoresist is also in the list of Baiying et al.

"Ultraviolet photoresist, suitable for 436nm-365nm lithography technology, unlocking requires 10,000 units of energy."

"Deep UV photoresist, suitable for 248nm-193nm lithography, unlocking requires 30,000 units of energy."

"Extreme ultraviolet photoresist, commonly used in 11nm-14nm lithography, requires 50,000 units of energy to unlock."

"Radiation line photoresist, used for higher resolution lithography, you need to unlock all the above photoresists before unlocking."

He Xingzhou needs extreme ultraviolet photoresist. The most advanced lithography machine in the world, that is, extreme ultraviolet lithography machine, can produce silicon-based chips with a 3-nanometer process.

is another 80,000 units of energy. He Xingzhou also unlocked the photoresist material technology.

Finally, it is the most important lithography machine manufacturing technology.

The lithography machine is known as the pinnacle work of human industrial technology at present! Use light as a knife to sculpt on the nanometer scale!

The most advanced EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography machine in the world, with more than 100,000 parts. If you want to transport a lithography machine, you need to prepare 20 trucks, three freighters, and 40 containers to complete the transportation!

The various technologies involved cover almost all industrial fields. Experts once asserted that no country can independently manufacture lithography machines!

In the list of Baiying Qifang, all the key materials and parts of the lithography machine have been marked with an X! It is to suppress the development and manufacturing of China's lithography machine in an all-round way!

The main reason that determines the performance of the lithography machine is the "light knife". The shorter the wavelength of the light knife, the more precise chips can be engraved.

Ultraviolet, deep ultraviolet, and extreme ultraviolet. At present, only Asmar in the windmill country in the world can manufacture extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.

It is worth mentioning that Shenzhou currently has a certain deep ultraviolet lithography technology, and He Xingzhou has also included the information. He only needs to unlock the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology.

Quantum Photobrain: "Consume 300,000 units of energy to unlock the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology."

Unlocking these, He Xingzhou only has 25,000 units of energy left. These are all accumulated during this period of time from the ever-expanding photovoltaic power station.

"I feel that photovoltaic power stations can't support energy consumption." He Xingzhou took a look at the technology tree, and subsequent technology unlocks started with hundreds of thousands of units of energy. Photovoltaic power stations save 10,000 yuan a day, which is only 30 a month. Million.

"I have to figure out a way to build a nuclear power plant!" If there is a nuclear power plant to supply energy for myself, I should not worry about energy issues within a year or two.

……

Madu, Institute of Microelectronics.

Here, the country’s first 22-nanometer process lithography machine, which is the deep ultraviolet lithography machine, was manufactured.

He Xingzhou brought people and the team of former Academician Yan Rui of Northwest Optoelectronics Research Institute to come here.

His team has gathered all the top talents in chip research and development in the country!

At the opening ceremony of the project, He Xingzhou spoke to the top talents in the audience: "Everyone, we come from different research institutes, companies, and units from all over the country. Today we gather here, abandoning prejudices, interests and estrangements, and only one goal !"

"In order to break the blockade in the field of lithography machines and high-end chips, we have developed a new generation of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines and manufactured completely domestically produced 3nm process chips! Find a true'heart' for the take-off of the Oriental Dragon !"

"Papa Papa!" Everyone applauded, and some chip designers and engineers looked excited. They had never thought that the big players in these industries could gather together?

If you are in another country and can't even think about it, even the most powerful companies will compete with each other. It is absolutely impossible to open up their talents and technologies like this!

And the units behind them, after receiving the order, all dedicated their resources unreservedly! Just for this 3nm process chip to come out as soon as possible!

He Xingzhou divides the R&D team into four groups. The first group is led by Academician Shi Cheng from the Institute of Microelectronics. He is an important person involved in the design and manufacture of deep ultraviolet lithography machines. He is responsible for leading the design of 3nm process chips and the construction of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.

The second group, led by Academician Lu Jianye, uses Longteng machine tools to manufacture lithography machine-related accessories, such as polishing ultra-high-speed lenses!

The third group, led by academician Yan Rui, led by the researchers of the Institute of Optoelectronics, responsible for the research and manufacture of "extreme ultraviolet light knives".

The fourth group, led by Fu Yuquan, a material expert from Huaxin Group, researches and manufactures materials required for lithography machines and chips, such as high-purity silicon and photoresist.

Researchers from various research institutes and group companies are arranged in four groups to cooperate with each other in research and development.

……

The outside world knows nothing about the gathering of national forces in China to tackle high-end chips.

As time progresses, the situation is getting more and more serious.

In the same month, Huawei announced that it would stop selling the latest Huawei mobile phones and related smart products, and other products have also reduced the supply.

As soon as the news came out, Huawei’s business was hit hard, and consumers protested.

However, this is just the beginning. Then, Rice, which originally claimed to be entering the high-end smart product market, also announced that the new model will not be released for the time being because the chip is out of stock.

Other smart product companies are also so general. Those companies that have just obtained He Xingzhou technology authorization to manufacture smart glasses also said that the Lingguang series of smart glasses plan will be postponed indefinitely!

This is not over yet! Because chips are the heart of modern electronic products, high-end chips are not only used in products such as mobile phones.

China FAW Group, BYD and other automobile companies announced that the manufacturing of high-end electromagnetic floats has been temporarily suspended due to insufficient supply of on-board chips!

The smart home company announced that high-end smart home products will be temporarily discontinued, and so on!

These are industries that are visible to the general public, and those that are invisible, such as some high-end equipment that the military needs, are also in trouble because of the lack of chips.

On the Internet, the public also began to panic about this. Someone asked: “What is going on? Will domestic high-end smart products be discontinued in the future? Will foreign countries not even make money for chips?”

"Don’t make money? Didn’t you watch the news? This month, the performance of companies like Apple and Samsung skyrocketed, and the high-end smart product market was almost completely occupied by foreign products!

"Yes, even if I support domestic production, domestic products are low-end products. I heard that they are all sold now, and they are all stock chips. What should I do when I run out?"

"Can we not research and develop ourselves?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to develop a lithography machine? When we catch up with foreign countries, the market will be occupied by foreign companies. One step behind, step by step, the gap is getting bigger and bigger!"

"Don't talk about chips, the latest computer graphics cards are not available! I really vomit. Now if I want to buy high-end computer graphics cards, I have to purchase an expensive one from abroad!"

"It’s impossible to do so long abroad, right? It should be on sale in a few months. I heard that Qualcomm and Intel are protesting!"

Some people are still expecting that foreign countries will be able to unlock the limitations of chips.

But they don’t know that the world’s technological landscape has undergone earth-shaking changes. This time the attitude of Bai Ying and others is firmer than ever before!

……

"Lumi, help me enter the program!" He Xingzhou was at the National Industrial Software Research Institute at this time.

He is designing an industrial software specifically for designing chips.

They all used foreign software to design chips before, and when the new list appears, the chip design software is not allowed to be used, and they have to design their own.

"The program has been entered." Lumi's sweet voice rang in He Xingzhou's ears, and a piece of new industrial software has been generated.

He Xingzhou opened it, converted the original chip design drawing of the Modu Microelectronics Research Institute, entered it, and then started to improve it.

He is now standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, and is assisted by the scientific and technological information of Quantum Optic Brain, and the speed of research and development is rapid!

Several other teams also got some technical information provided by He Xingzhou.

is like solving a math problem. If you have not learned the relevant knowledge points, you can create an equation to break it down by yourself, whether it can be done, and how long it will take is unknown.

Now He Xingzhou is equivalent to providing them with equations. They only need to understand and use them.

These talents are all elites from all over the country. For them, understanding and applying is simply a piece of cake.

Every day, in the related fields of lithography machines and chips, some technical problems are overcome.

For example, extreme ultraviolet photoresist. With the application of data, Fu Yuquan’s team has obtained laboratory products and is studying the technology of large-scale industrial production.

……

Sakura Island, a meeting of the photoresist industry is being held.

As one of the necessary materials for semiconductor manufacturing, photoresist is on the list!

Ninety percent of the world’s high-end photoresists come from Sakura Island, and some are produced in Deng Country.

Because of the “comprehensive cooperation” agreement between Sakura and Baiying and others some time ago, the sale of high-end photoresists in China has been completely suspended.

This has had a huge impact on the international photoresist giants such as Synthetic Rubber (JSR), Tokyo Chemical (TOK), Fujifilm and other groups.

"Aoki-kun, in one month, our photoresist revenue has been cut by 30%. According to this trend, our company will be hit hard!" The representative of ISR was dissatisfied with the big man Daiki Aoki who came to the meeting. Protested, "The agreement you participated in does not consider harm to our industry at all!"

"Yes, we have never leaked any related technology, why don't we even sell the products?" The representative of Yinghua Group questioned, "Shenzhou enterprises are our major customers!"

Aoki Taiki knew that they were full of grievances, but this was decided by the above, and he couldn't change it.

He had no choice but to say: "High-end semiconductor manufacturing is in ours and the western market. We will hold a semiconductor-related international trade event. If your company adjusts its business direction, it can also keep the market."

"These are totally different things!" The representative of Fujifilm Company dissatisfied, "As far as I know, in this incident, Dow Group took the opportunity to expand and seize the market, which has seriously affected our operations."

Not everyone supports it. They oppose this so-called "full cooperation."

"Aoki-kun, we hope to lift this restriction as soon as possible!" This is their unanimous request.

"Masters, don't worry. You are the pride of Sakura, and high-end photoresist technology is in your hands. As long as you last through this period, you are still the world's photoresist leader!" Aoki comforted them He knew that this decision could not be changed, so they said it was useless. Today he came to listen to their complaints.

"What if Shenzhou breaks through the extreme ultraviolet photoresist process?" the representative of JRS questioned.

Daiki Aoki smiled and said: "Technological breakthroughs, how can they happen overnight."

"You can rest assured that China is now facing the pressure of seven industrial countries. They will inevitably make concessions. You will get more by then! They can't make it through that time!"

He was smiling, but saw another representative walk into the conference room. It was Taichi Furukawa, the representative of Sumitomo Chemical Group. He looked anxious and shouted, "Mr.

Thank you for your rewards, such as Lonely Road, Can Wolf Wugui, Qinglian Taoge, etc.
