Peng Wanhua looked towards the end and saw a small and cramped desk filled with piles of documents, with a head protruding from behind the documents.

That Xiao Dong's hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and it looked like a chicken coop. His hair was messy and greasy.

He wore a pair of thick glasses on his long horse face. His brows were furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", probably because the project was not progressing smoothly.

He is not tall, less than 1.7 meters, very thin, but very energetic.

At first glance, people will feel that this person is a hard-working and unscrupulous scientific researcher.

When Dong Peng heard that someone was coming to help, a light suddenly burst out in his eyes.

When he looked up and saw the tall Peng Wanhua, he was immediately happy, walked up to shake hands and said: "Oh, finally a strong man is here! My name is Dong Peng, welcome!"

Peng Wanhua was made a little uncomfortable by his enthusiasm. For some reason, he felt like he had fallen into a bandit's den.

"Wanhua, you have officially reported for duty today. You and Xiao Dong will discuss and break down the project tasks. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can come to me."

Lao Xu patted a pile of information on the table, smiled at him and ordered.

Peng Wanhua looked confused. I haven't agreed yet, so why did it become a report?

"You don't have to worry about project funding. I will apply for a subsidy for you so that you can do scientific research with peace of mind."

When Lao Xu saw that he didn't speak, he thought he agreed, and he thoughtfully said that he would give him a subsidy.

"Okay, that's it. I have something else to do. You two should communicate first."

After saying that, Lao Xu slipped away without waiting for Peng Wanhua's reply.

Peng Wanhua was really speechless.

Who cares about that subsidy?

Are you looking down on me?

Just as he was complaining in his mind, Brother Dong enthusiastically pulled Peng Wanhua to his desk, picked up a pile of materials one foot high and pushed it in front of Peng Wanhua:

"Your name is Junior Brother Wanhua, right? Come on, you should familiarize yourself with these materials first. I will explain them to you later after I finish sorting out the materials on hand."

With that said, he bent over his desk and continued writing materials.

Peng Wanhua was holding a pile of materials, feeling helpless. He was very familiar with this technique of wooing young men, and he did it often.

But I didn't expect that I would also be raped.

While looking through the information, Peng Wanhua was concentrating on recalling the history of chip-related software and hardware that his friends had popularized to him.

When a chip is born, the software needs the support of EDA, and the core of the hardware is the photolithography machine.

Let’s talk about EDA first.

Peng Wanhua remembered that his good friend once mentioned it.

Historically, in 1986, the EDA localization project was officially launched. The units included ten universities, four research institutes, two industrial research institutes, and even the Ministry of Electronics Industry. There were as many as 17 units, hundreds of senior scholars and Technical staff.

It took four years to finally develop the Panda system and pass acceptance and launch it into the EDA market.

Even so, this system only realizes part of the integrated circuit development capabilities, and has not yet achieved coverage of the entire development process.

The two or three kittens in Lao Xu's research team want to solve the problem of localization of EDA. It is simply impossible and they cannot take on this job.

The road to localization of EDA can be said to be long and arduous.

He then thought of the lithography machine again.

The history of my country's lithography machines can be traced back to 1966.

That year, Factory 109 cooperated with Shanghai Optical Instrument Factory to successfully develop my country's first 65-type contact lithography machine. By 1977, the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences began to develop the JK-1 proximity lithography machine and completed the second phase of process testing the year before last.

Last year, 109 Factory, Harbin Measuring and Cutting Tool Factory, and Acheng Relay Factory jointly developed the KHA75-1 semi-automatic proximity contact lithography machine, and won the first prize for scientific and technological work from the First Ministry of Machinery Industry.

This model has the characteristics of strong adaptability, complete functions and good performance. In some indicators, it has reached the level of CanonPLA500-F.

According to historical progress, two years later in 1985, the 45th Institute of the Ministry of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering will successfully develop the BG-101 stepper lithography machine. The main performance indicators are close to or even reaching the level of the 4800DSW system of the American GCA Company.

Also in the same year, the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a scanning projection lithography machine.

Generally speaking, even if the level of my country's lithography machines in the mid-80s is one or two generations behind the top level, the gap is not too big, and there is a possibility of catching up.

But in the mid-to-late 80s, the idea that it was better to buy than to build and to rent began to prevail, and trade, industry and technology became popular.

Many state-owned enterprises have been transformed and converted, and large projects have been cancelled. Without support, all projects have stalled, including large aircraft transport.

As a result, my country's self-developed EDA and lithography machine technologies were abandoned, the integrated circuit industry gradually lost touch with foreign countries, and chips became a stuck technology.

Later, ASML had begun to produce 3-nanometer lithography machines, and my country had just broken through the 28-nanometer process, and its technical level was nearly six or seven generations behind.

Later, the country discovered that technology could not be bought, acquired, or begged, so it began to make great efforts to catch up.

There were even ridiculous incidents such as the multi-billion Hanxin fraud and the failure of Acer's investment of hundreds of billions.

It can be said that they are all paying for the wrong decision in the first place.

It is a mistake to give up chip manufacturing lithography machines, and it is even more wrong to give up the source EDA software.

I regretted it when I got choked in the end.

But even when you are faced with various obstacles that could kill you, there are still some people who do not realize this fatal problem!

Are you still shouting that science has no borders, and even publishing the genetic maps of Chinese people in foreign magazines?

Is this person bad or stupid?

Peng Wanhua silently muttered a few words about the localization of lithography machines and EDA.

Suddenly I felt that with his advanced vision and vision, this country's integrated circuit and semiconductor industry could avoid detours.

Even lead the development of this industry.

Thinking of this, Peng Wanhua suddenly felt that the information was no longer boring, and he read it with gusto.

Designing EDA software requires three basic capabilities. The first is project management capabilities. After all, for such a large project, without project management it would be a disaster.

The second is programming ability. Even the best ideas and structures require programming to be realized.

The third is business capabilities. EDA is used in the entire process of design, manufacturing, packaging, and testing, and complements the IC design, IC manufacturing, and packaging and testing industries.

If you cannot understand the business flow of integrated circuits and semiconductors, the EDA software you design will definitely be unsuitable for the environment.

Of course, Lao Xu's topic has a certain relationship with these three abilities, but it is not a strong correlation.

The research team did not directly design EDA, not even the EDA architecture.

Now it is more about sorting out the current status of the industry, domestic and foreign development trends, related problems faced by the industry, and the technical feasibility of EDA software.

In addition to these, during the course of the project, you will be exposed to some software and conduct necessary trials. The trial is to understand the business logic and why you should do this.

In order to strengthen relationships with relevant departments and factories, I even had to code myself and help solve some minor problems.

As for how to realize and verify the localization of specific EDA software, that is beyond the capabilities of this small research group.

Therefore, the output of this topic, which Peng Wanhua and others want to output, is obviously a document and summary.

"Let's go to the computer room and practice some skills."

While Peng Wanhua was looking at the materials, Senior Brother Dong stepped forward and asked him to go to the computer room with him.
