I’ll add some practice in the real world

What?

Single crystal?!

Is it the kind of technology used to make single-crystal blades for aircraft engines?

Following Lin Weiguo's instructions, everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

Single crystal is a very special metal material with unparalleled hardness and perfect internal atomic arrangement.

Originally this material only existed in nature and was a natural perfect crystal.

It was not until later breakthroughs in human manufacturing technology that single crystal blades based on nickel-iron alloy were used in aero engines.

The aircraft engine of the Flower Planter has never been ideal, and its service life is far inferior to that of the Eagle Country. This is because it lags behind others in manufacturing materials such as single crystals.

Material science is the foundation of all applied sciences. If the materials are not up to standard, the development of applied technology will be restricted.

Chen Jue was lucky. He applied the blade technology used in making fighter jet engines to the casing of a photolithography machine. Such an extravagant act that was comparable to showing off his wealth directly dumbfounded everyone present.

I just wanted to give it a more protective shell, so I made a five-layer bonded single crystal material.

It's equivalent to combining the five elements of copper, iron, nickel, aluminum, and lead into one. Even if there is a nuclear explosion outside, electromagnetic shock and nuclear radiation will not be able to penetrate this machine and affect the internal chip processing. Chen Jue He explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zou Ying and Lin Weiguo couldn't help but twitch their faces.

Good guy!

At present, humans can only master the two-layer process of nickel-iron single crystal, and you can directly reach the five-layer process at once.

Damn it, it was done casually!

In the eyes of these technical people, this is just a show of Versailles!

A single crystal with a five-layer structure?

Then if you peel off the shell, it's more than enough to directly build the shell of rockets and nuclear submarines, right?

This is really... so awesome! The onlookers' researchers exploded.

Chen Jue's skillful operation is equivalent to advancing the material science and metallurgical technology of flower growers for more than fifty years!

If single crystal manufacturing technology could be popularized, would the machining level of Huajia still be explosive?

This is related to the entire country's industrial system. Whether it is for commercial or civilian use, the technological development of such basic materials cannot be circumvented.

After Liu Chengdong heard the result, his eyes changed when he looked at Chen Jue. He said to himself: Originally, he just invited Chen Jue to build a photolithography machine. How could he have thought that he could easily break through the most difficult material science directly? Got it!

…

The onlookers were talking a lot, especially Zou Ying, the director of the base's R\u0026D center. At this moment, it was as if both eyes were embedded in the white metal shell, and they didn't want to move away at all.

If the white lithography machine in front of her was not of great importance and the verification operation had not yet been carried out, Zou Ying would probably have brought someone to scrape some metal powder off the casing for material analysis and comparison.

After all, a single crystal made of five metal elements is one of the best on the entire earth.

Boss, can this single crystal material be manufactured on a large scale?

You know, some of our brother units have a lot of debts in materials science... Liu Chengdong put away his playful smile and asked seriously.

As long as there are enough materials, mass production can definitely be achieved!

But the premise is that you have to find someone who has the same level of cultivation as me and can provide you with services anytime and anywhere. Chen Jue glanced at the other party, and his transparent mind naturally saw what the other party was thinking.

Although the material properties of this type of single crystal are explosive, according to the metallurgical technology currently mastered by mankind, it is basically impossible to achieve large-scale mass production.

Because this involves reshaping metal materials, and then densely combining five metal elements in a layer-by-layer manner with atomic-level precision.

With such terrifying processing precision, let alone a flower grower, even the entire human society cannot achieve it.

Because there is currently only one Chen Jue who has the ability to master [Material Interference].

In addition, Chen Jue was about to leave for Mars, so he definitely couldn't waste time on processing such basic materials, so he could only politely refuse.

Seeing Chen Jue's polite refusal, Liu Chengdong also blushed, scratched his head in embarrassment and said: Then... then forget it...

After all, Chen Jue has helped the base many times, and no matter how deep a favor is, it cannot be squandered like this.

…

Because the incident caused by this white single crystal material only caused a commotion for a while, the white lithography machine in front of them soon began to enter an intense verification operation state under the fiddling of Lin Weiguo and others.

You must know that a traditional EUA lithography machine consumes 30,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity when working for 24 hours. It is known as a super power tiger in the entire industrial field!

For example, the Bay Semiconductor Power Plant, which currently has the largest semiconductor output, consumes 14.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity for a whole year. One plant is equivalent to the electricity consumption of a city with a population of 10 million for a whole year.

With such a huge power supply, the circuit system of the EUA lithography machine itself must achieve extremely high stability.

Once voltage instability occurs, it is easy for a short circuit to damage the precise electronic components inside the lithography machine.

The accuracy of the white lithography machine created by Chen Jue is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary EUA lithography machines. Coupled with the shrinkage of the body, the internal circuit wiring has been greatly manipulated by Chen Jue. Changed it a bit.

It is not easy to power up this machine. For this reason, Lin Weiguo and others specially modified the transmission cables of the underground fortifications and equipped them with ultra-high voltage transmission ports.

When the power cord is connected, huge power begins to be input, and a square, simple, built-in control panel lights up on the flawless white body shell.

It's just that there is no lithography program imported into the control panel at this time, because Chen Jue is only building a bare metal, and if he wants it to operate and tape out, he must import a specific EDA design program.

Fortunately, the most important thing here at the Institute of Optoelectronics is the chip design program!

After discussing for a while, Lin Weiguo, under Chen Jue's guidance, inserted a large data disk into the machine and read a copy of the latest chip design drawing from it.

Sure enough, it's atomic-level precision!

Even the parameters of the XYZ axis indicate that the limit displacement can reach 0.1 nanometers!

0.1nm dry lithography? I feel like I'm dreaming! Several technicians accompanying the operation couldn't help but marveled after seeing the data on the monitor.

On the contrary, Lin Weiguo pursed his lips bitterly beside him.

Because the processing accuracy of 0.1 nanometers completely exceeds the upper limit of the accuracy of their chip design drawings!

You know, the current integrated circuit design contains tens of billions of transistors at every turn.

For example, the latest Kirin series 9000 chip has built-in CPU and GPU functions, and its number of transistors has reached more than 15 billion.

This is just using the traditional 5nm process!

Once it is increased to 0.1 nanometers, it is equivalent to increasing the processing accuracy by 50 times on the original basis.

The higher the precision of photolithography, the smaller the gaps between transistors, and the usable space on a chip will be enlarged almost infinitely.

After the processing accuracy is increased by 50 times, the number of transistors on a single Kirin chip of the same size is not as simple as 1×50.

Instead, there will be an exponential explosion!

It can produce more than 100 billion or even trillion transistors in one go!

But the problem is that this devilish super chip machine was indeed built by Chen Jue, but there is no ready-made chip drawing suitable for the 0.1 nanometer process.

After all, there is also a big generation gap between flower growers and foreign countries in EDA chip design. There are only a few companies and units in the country that can develop EDA drawings.

Even the Institute of Optoelectronics, where Lin Weiguo is located, can only produce a few tens of billions of chip design drawings at best.

Facing this unfamiliar white machine in front of him, Lin Weiguo felt like he had returned to an interesting conversation he had when he first started working and participated in a large foreign semiconductor industry forum.

At that forum, Lin Weiguo met a foreign company executive. Seeing that he was a flower gardener, the foreign company executive said privately and half-jokingly: You flower gardeners are not good at it! Because even if I give you all the design drawings of the EUA lithography machine, Your supporting technology can’t keep up, and you can’t process it either.”

That kind of barrier and generational gap between technologies, in Lin Weiguo's eyes at that time, was like his wife running away with someone else. The feeling of powerlessness and fear in his mind left a deep impression on him.

But after decades of hard work catching up, Lin Weiguo's fear of technological generation gaps has long been forgotten.

Until he met this white lithography machine created by Chen Jue!

That feeling of powerlessness came up again from the depths of my memory!

Fortunately...fortunately this machine was built by our own people...

Lin Weiguo comforted himself a little while sweating in front of the machine. He felt that in just this moment, he had sweated more than he had in the entire summer.
