7nm seems very far away.

And at this point, in order to prevent atoms from leaking, etc., referred to as leakage, international advanced processes are now considering the FinFET process.

This begins to create what Fang Nian calls a technical bottleneck.

According to the international semiconductor technology blueprint, the technology node is half of the minimum metal pitch (MMP), and the reduction in MMP begins to slow down;

However, after 3D, the number of transistors still increased sharply, so it was no longer possible to show process progress.

then……

The naming of the next-generation process is based on the formula that the length and width of the early two-dimensional transistor are shortened by 0.7, and the area is reduced by half (0.7×0.7=0.5) to simplify calculations.

What is simplified calculation...

That is, 20×0.7=14.

Then 14→10→7→5→3.

So how much has the MMP actually been reduced?

Taking TSMC as an example, from 10 nanometers to 7 nanometers, the MMP dropped from 44 nanometers to 40 nanometers.

Only Intel, which adheres to Moore's Law, is stuck in 14nm+,++,+++.

Intel even wants to say: Non-standard naming rules are just a scam.

This is also the reason why from the end user's perspective, the breakthrough in more advanced processes and the experience have not doubled.

It can even be said that Intel’s 14nm+++≈7nm in a broad sense.

Because the number of transistors per square millimeter of the two is basically the same.

To sum up...

The reason why Fang Nian did not hesitate was to go all in EUV.

It’s because in such a blink of an eye, EUV must be used.

Before Fang Nian was reborn, let alone Wassenaar and the embargo, ASML, the only company that could produce EUV, had orders on hand that could be scheduled for at least five years.

The reason is very simple: the baby cannot be born.

Since Fang Nian has ideals and ambitions, how could he not make first-hand preparations here?

Starting all in EUV now, at least five or ten years later, we will be able to create something.

The wavelength of the EUV (extreme ultraviolet) light source jumped directly from 193 nanometers to between 10 and 14 nanometers. Current research data shows that the 13.5nm wavelength is the most available.

In this way, we will have the right to speak in the field of cutting-edge lithography.

After a pause, Miao Wei pondered and said: "DUV lithography is progressing so smoothly. Is there any mass production plan at Frontier?"

"Not yet, let's talk about 28 nanometers." Fang Nian said calmly, "I think someone will take the initiative to send us a complete set of equipment."

Miao Wei understood immediately and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and nodded at Fang Nian twice: "You boy, no wonder Maperli and Lei Jun both publicly touted you as the most successful businessman. There is no such thing. You are simply a businessman." Wizard!"

Then he implicitly mentioned: "The matter of big funds will soon be put on the agenda."

"..."

Fang Nian smiled, did not answer the question, and directly changed the topic again: "Before the end of the month, Shengyu Laboratory's 4G networking solution will be basically practical;

Shengyu Laboratory completed the actual test of dual 4G networking in Xisha, and the results were pretty good."

Hearing this, Miao Wei's eyelids moved slightly, with a slight smile on his face, and he continued to speak: "Speaking of which, why did you run to Hainan by yourself?"

"Ah?" Fang Nian looked hesitant.

Miao Wei smiled: "The fact that you personally undertook the Xuande Qilian Island Cross-sea Bridge project is not a secret to me;

We just talked about this matter at the meeting not long ago, and Civil Affairs Department Li said that Mr. Fang may have some resentment in his heart."

Fang Nian: "..."

He whispered in his mind: 'I don't want to get too close to someone who might be killed tomorrow.'

Of course, Fang Nian looked a little bitter and sighed: "After all, it is an investment of nearly 5 billion."

"I can only convince myself that Bald Eagle has put Frontier on the CCMC list anyway. If we don't do something, I'm really sorry for the last list."

Miao Wei laughed.

This was also a rare time during Miao Wei's dealings with Fang Nian when he saw Fang Nian truly depressed.

Who made Fang Nian happen to bump into him?

"Yeah, but for someone as young as you, it's not wrong to enjoy life, haha..." At the end of the sentence, Miao Wei laughed again.

In life, everyone spends money after making money.

It's just that for rich people like Fang Nian, their spending will be louder and more high-end.

After all, you basically make money at home and spend it at home.

It can also be regarded as creatively providing many jobs and increasing GDP.

But Miao Wei couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was 'forced' to take out 5 billion real money.

It goes well with Frontier, after all, they are all infrastructure projects.

Fang Nian just looked at Miao Wei quietly and laughed. What could he do? He...can it be said that it was voluntary?

If it’s not just 5 billion, who are you looking down on?

I haven’t seen my buddy just reduce his holdings of shares and get 4 billion?

Oh!

Damn old man, you know nothing about your buddy’s capital operation capabilities.

Sooner or later, these 5 billion guys will make their money on Wall Street. When I am a frontier angel, I am a vegetarian all over the world, and when I am a Chin, I am just for show.

Sooner or later, the liquidity premium will stir up Bitcoin and harvest the capital giants on Wall Street.

"..."

After joking for a while, Miao Wei restrained his smile and said kindly: "The results of Shengyu Laboratory represent our country's standard voice in the international community. This is a great breakthrough;

Whether it’s in the ministry or higher up, there will be support.”

Speaking of this, Miao Wei glanced at Fang Nian, who was sitting at attention, and said jokingly: "You don't think the news I revealed to the media last month was a joke, do you?"

Fang Nian: "Huh?"

Miao Weihe said calmly: "As long as Shengyu's 4G networking solution is good enough and matches the size of the three major telecom operators, there is nothing wrong with issuing 4G licenses within this year."

Hearing this, Fang Nian frowned slightly, and then said: "Ah, I almost forgot that today is April Fool's Day, I wish Miao a happy April Fool's Day."

"?" Miao Wei frowned and emphasized calmly: "It's not a joke."

This time Fang Nian shouted: "Hey! This is really good news!"

"If we really want to...issue licenses, we have to thank the Ministry of Miao. This is a necessary prerequisite to accelerate social development in advance."

Seeing this, Miao Wei took a look at Fang Nian and said, "That's right. You have a great plan and a long-term vision."

"No wonder you deployed your impact fund to fully invest in it last year."

"..."

Fang Nian was a little embarrassed: "I really can't hide anything from Miao Bu."

"Okay, okay, as long as you know this." Miao Wei waved his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Fang Nian smiled broadly and said enthusiastically and sincerely: "No, no, I just hope that the Miao tribe can occasionally celebrate Western festivals and relax."

Miao Wei said angrily: "Get out of here!"

This thing eats it up and wipes it clean as if nothing is wrong. He is truly worthy of being a thousand-year-old fox.
