Technological Supremacy Chapter 309: Promote the improvement of the whole industry!

North America, California.

The video finally ended, but there was still no sound in the office, only the heavy panting of Denap and Jerry could be heard, like two desperate beasts being cornered.

"How is this possible!"

After a few minutes of silence, Denap finally stood up, he waved his arms vigorously, and then pressed the replay button, as if he couldn't believe what he saw just now, thinking it was not true.

Jay Ruien took his friend's arm and said in a deep voice, "Forget it, don't read any more, we are all scientists, and everything Luo Jia introduced is impeccable. We know this very well, but it's just human beings. We can't accept it for a while because of the fluke mentality."

Puff~

Denap seemed to be in a daze, and sat back on the sofa, his eyes were dull, his face was pale, and he kept chanting the same sentence, "Impossible...this is impossible..."

Jay Ruien shook his head. He understood the pain of his old friend very well. Ultrasonic motors are the treasures of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Denapp's blow was too great.

Jarian stood up, frowned and walked to the window, letting the sun fall on him, but for some reason, the bright California sun no longer made him feel warm, and the office was filled with a chill, as if someone had secretly turned on the air conditioner, making him feel cold. Jarien had goosebumps all over his body.

Time and time again, Xingchen Technology shattered the confidence of the West and achieved things that the great powers could not do. But unable to resist.

Jay Ryan comforted Denapp and said: "Cheer up, my old friends, you are the famous Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the ultrasonic motor is just one of the countless black technologies you have mastered. Even if it is overtaken by Xingchen Technology, It's nothing special."

"It is said that ultrasonic motors belong to the space age, but what can they do with ultrasonic motors? Can they land on Mars? Can they explore the distant Pluto and the Ebola belt?"

"No!"

"Technology is a complete system, composed of thousands of technologies. An ultrasonic motor is nothing. If they want to challenge us, unless they can make up for all the technological gaps!"

"Don't forget my friend, as early as 1969, we landed on the moon! At that time, China had not officially started their industrialization. This is not a gap of decades, but It's a gap of hundreds of years!"

"It's too early for the Chinese to challenge us!"

After listening to Dr. Jerryn's words, instead of being encouraged, Denap let out a series of wry smiles.

"Perhaps what you said makes sense, but don't forget that Xingchen Technology has only been established for four years!" Denap twitched all over his body and shouted in grief.

...

Shanghai, Pudong District, SMIC.

Tang Boyun wiped away his tears, washed his face with cold water, and looked at himself in the mirror.

The temples are already graying, and the wrinkles on the forehead are like a chisel. At this age, you should have seen through everything in this world.

After learning that the ultrasonic motor of Xingchen Technology has completely surpassed the extremely powerful Jet Propulsion Laboratory in terms of technical indicators, Mr. Tang still couldn't help but shed tears.

He calmed down his excitement, walked out of the bathroom, and saw that the company that was supposed to be serious had turned into a sea of ​​joy, and everyone was discussing excitedly.

"What is a bull fork? This is it!"

"Fix the industrial software first, and then install the ultrasonic motor. Xingchen Technology is simply using its own power to pull the Chinese science and technology community forward!"

"Now we are blessed. Ultrasonic motors should be very helpful to solve our current difficult problem of machine accuracy?"

"No mistake, the R&D department is already crazy, and they are all crowded in the laboratory."

"Wait for me after get off work."

"What are you doing?"

"I treat you, have a drink tonight!"

As the boss of the company, Tang Boyun looked at the messy office, and couldn't help but put on a straight face, wanting to reprimand him, but for some reason, his nose was a little sour when he just opened his mouth.

He thought of the accusations the company had borne over the years. As a semiconductor company supported by the state at all costs, SMIC had spent a lot of money on the state.

However, when TSMC and Samsung are rushing to 5nm or even lower process, SMIC is still spinning at 22nm.

For this reason, the masses did not miss the backbone of SMIC, and the employees of SMIC also felt very wronged. It is not so easy to catch up with top technology.

"Forget it, let everyone be happy." Tang Boyun thought to himself.

Not long ago, Star Technology's industrial software enabled SMIC's old customers Huawei, ZTE, and Ziguang Zhanrui to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being stuck by the big powers at the software level. At that time, the company was already very happy.

Immediately afterwards came the ultrasonic motor, and the miracles were superimposed again and again. Finally, everyone couldn't bear it anymore and started an explosive celebration.

Tang Boyun ignored the chaotic office, let the young people make trouble, turned around and came to the laboratory, put on dustproof clothes, walked in, and met the main research and development staff of the company.

They are doing research on the machine and want to know how much it will affect the yield of the production line if the fully automatic machine is driven by an ultrasonic motor.

People who are not familiar with the industry may not understand that the yield rate problem in the semiconductor manufacturing industry has always been very serious.

The yield rate is not only a problem for SMIC, but also for TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, and even the mighty Intel.

Back then, when TSMC launched 7-nanometer technology, their old rival Samsung held back for several months, and finally only came up with 8-nanometer technology.

The production lines are all the same. Why is Samsung's manufacturing process one nanometer lower than TSMC's?

This figure is very strange and disgusting, okay~IndoMTL.com~ Not much, not much, only one nanometer lower than TSMC? What is the story behind it?

The real reason lies in the yield rate. Of course, Samsung can use 7nm for production, but out of 10,000 products, 6,000 will be scrapped because they are unqualified. Although Samsung has a big business, it does not dare to play like this ah.

So, they bit the bullet and launched 8-nanometer technology. Although the manufacturing is only one nanometer short, the yield rate can reach 60%. Samsung runs this production line, so it won't lose its pants. .

Some people may not understand, the difference of one nanometer, the yield rate is so much worse?

Yes, that's the difference. Is Intel the world's dominant player? But you may not know that many I5 CPUs are actually substandard I7s. After shielding some cores and caches, they will be sold to you as I5s.

This is the reality of the semiconductor industry. The manufacturing process has reached the level of a few nanometers, and further development will soon lead to electromigration. Simply put, it has entered the limit of the current technological level.

Unless a new technology is born, the yield rate will never be too high, if it can reach 50%, TSMC will be thankful to the ancestors.

As for the ultrasonic motor of Star Technology, although it is just a kind of motor, it seems to have nothing to do with the semiconductor industry.

But this kind of motor with nanometer precision can improve the accuracy of machine operation, thereby improving the yield rate and solving the big trouble in the semiconductor manufacturing industry!

So when this kind of motor came out, it was not the motor builders who were crazy, but a group of semiconductor builders!

"How is it?" Tang Boyun asked with concern, "How much accuracy can our machine improve if we replace it with an ultrasonic motor?"
