Chapter 410: Nanochip, Symbian system is launched
June 25, 2005.
Changchun Institute of Optics and Mechanics.
This is the fifty-fourth day that Jiang Shangyi came to the Institute of Optics and Mechanics.
Perhaps because everyone is engaged in scientific research, Jiang Shangyi integrated into the team within a few days of arriving in Changchun.
During this more than a month, Jiang Shangyi, Chen Xuezu and others communicated many times, and both sides learned a lot from each other.
At this time, Jiang Shangyi, Chen Xuezu and others gathered in front of the electron transmission mirror in the laboratory.
Zhong Feixiong carefully placed the chip into the electronic transmission mirror instrument.
At this time, the people standing behind him were all nervous.
Some people even have sweaty palms.
The results reflected by the telescope will verify the success of their efforts during this period.
As the transmission mirror motor rotates, the picture becomes clearer and clearer, and the parameters on the software also change accordingly.
97nm
85nm
76nm
65nm
The value finally stayed at 65 nanometers.
"We succeeded." A young researcher said excitedly.
"With 65 nanometers, we really did it." Another older researcher said, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It allows me to switch between sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
"With 65 nanometers, we are an era ahead of Europe and the United States." A female researcher stared at the monitor with her eyes wide open and said to herself.
In the past, this kind of thing would have been unthinkable, but now they have really done it.
The researchers hugged each other excitedly, and these people shed tears of joy.
Just when everyone was excited and happy, Chen Xuezu poured cold water on everyone.
"You two are so excited. Even if you succeed, it has nothing to do with us. This success is based on other people's work. It can be achieved by changing the team to improve it. When will we build a completely autonomous machine?"
The lithography machine is no longer exciting.”
Is what Chen Xuezu said wrong?
No.
The photolithography machine is from Nikon, and the modification plan is provided by Cao Mang.
To put it bluntly, they are just tool men. Another tool man can also transform the machine.
But do they suffer as a tool?
No loss at all.
Chen Xuezu has accumulated a lot of experience in this renovation project, which can lay a good foundation for them to develop independent photolithography machines.
The pouring of cold water made many people immediately lower their heads.
Yes.
They were happy too early.
They still have a long way to go.
I will be happy when I can build a completely independent photolithography machine.
"Jiang Gong, I made you laugh." Chen Xuezu looked at Jiang Shangyi and said.
Jiang Shangyi smiled slightly and said nothing.
In his view, the successful transformation of a 130-mm lithography machine into a 65-mm lithography machine is definitely a great event.
If he followed his approach, he would praise everyone present and then apply for a bonus for everyone to show recognition for their efforts.
But he never expected that Chen Xuezu would pour cold water on everyone present.
To pour cold water on everyone at this time will definitely cause a serious blow to morale.
When he recalled what Chen Xuezu said, he immediately understood the other party's intention.
This basin of cold water is to calm everyone down and prevent them from losing themselves due to the achievements in front of them.
65nm is indeed an era ahead of Europe and the United States, but this thing does not belong to them at all. They have not even finished 90nm. Is it too early to be happy at this time?
As Chen Xuezu said.
Their success is based on the work of others, and this success was already anticipated.
They just did something expected, nothing to be proud of.
...
That afternoon, Cao Mang received a call from Zhong Feixiong.
The two talked on the phone for more than an hour.
Chen Xuezu has made arrangements here and can send people over at any time to carry out modifications. The cost of modifying a photolithography machine is five million dollars, and it takes a month to modify a photolithography machine.
It takes nine months to modify nine lithography machines.
Cao Mang asked the other party to send someone over immediately to carry out the transformation plan.
Although the 65-nanometer lithography machine has been completed, the 65-nanometer packaging machine has not been completed. Without the packaging machine, this chip cannot be used at all.
...
at the same time.
Modu Microelectronics Equipment Co., Ltd. in Zhangjiang High-tech Park.
He Rongming also received a call from Jiang Haohong, who told him that the photolithography machine modification plan was successful.
"I didn't expect you to successfully modify the photolithography machine so quickly." He Rongming said in surprise.
Now that the lithography machine is ready, all that's left is their packaging machine.
In fact, their packaging machine is nearing completion, but there is no 65nm crystal for them to test.
Once they have a crystal for them to test, I believe they will be able to build the packaging machine in less than two months.
He Rongming then asked the other party to send the 65-nanometer crystal to Shanghai as soon as possible. They needed to adjust and test the packaging machine.
He Rongming had just hung up the phone from Jiang Haohong when he received a call from Cao Mang.
"Mr. Cao called me to ask me when the packaging machine will be launched, right?" He Rongming said with a smile.
"It seems that Mr. He has also received the news."
"Jiang Haohong just called me and said that the transformation at the Institute of Optics and Mechanics was successful," He Rongming said.
"Then I wonder when Mr. He's packaging machine will be ready?"
"The fastest is 2 months and the slowest is three months. Without a crystal, there is no way to conduct the final test," He Rongming said.
"Then I'm waiting for your good news."
...
At the same time, Lighthouse Country.
The three big bosses, Ollela Peov, Yusup Deva, and Edward Platt, all came to Saipan Laboratory.
"Everyone, this is the latest work of our laboratory." William Borco said as he handed a prototype to the three of them.
The appearance of this prototype is similar to Dopod 838.
"The CPU adopts armv3 architecture, and we have added Symbian-specific instructions, which greatly speeds up the system..."
William Borko Barabara's introduction begins.
The new generation of Symbian system is really good. It is equipped with a specially developed CPU and its performance is much faster than the existing WP mobile phones.
The only drawback is that the UI is a bit ugly.
Edward Platt and the other three were very satisfied with the prototype.
After the implementation of New Saipan, they will have the capital to compete with the WP Alliance.
"How difficult is software development compared to before?" Edward Platt asked.
"We use the Java language to develop the new version of the Symbian system. Anyone who knows Java can easily develop Symbian applications," said William Borco.
"Dr. William, you did a good job this time." Edward Platt said with satisfaction.
...
The next day...
Major software companies have received invitations from the Symbian Alliance, inviting them to join the new Symbian Alliance software ecosystem.
The incident quickly reached the ears of Bill Gates and Craig Barrett.
But our richest man doesn't seem to care very much.
Chapter completed!
