In the process of nanowire development, Huang Xiuyuan, Lu Xuedong and others were devoted to the development of nanowires.

Through Xiao Yingnan, he asked Lin Baijie to set up a textile equipment company and asked to dig a group of textile equipment designers, engineers, and recruit a group of embroidery experts.

Although Lin Baijie felt inexplicably, he still implemented Huang Xiuyuan's instructions.

Through various channels and the attraction of high salaries, hundreds of textile equipment designers, engineers, and more than a dozen senior experts engaged in embroidery were quickly poached.

Soon a research institute called "Special Textile Equipment Research Institute" was established in a low-key manner within Suiren Company.

Among the recruited engineers, Xia Qiuzhen was appointed as the chief engineer. He is a relatively famous textile equipment designer in China. When working for his old boss, he chose to change jobs to the newly established Suiren Company because of his different ideas from his boss.

Although he didn't know why Suiren Company wanted to develop textile equipment, Xia Qiuzhen didn't care. He just wanted to develop the most advanced textile equipment.

After more than a week of running-in with the team.

He and several other engineers and experts were called to a very hidden research institute.

Semiconductor microcircuit designer Zhang Jingjian opened the multimedia in the conference room and projected a set of pictures on the curtain.

After seeing these pictures, everyone participating in the meeting began to whisper.

"Quiet." Zhang Jingjian pointed to the picture of the curtain: "I will assign a task. Now what everyone needs to design is the textile equipment for these knots."

Xia Qiuzhen was a little dismissed: "Mr. Zhang, this is very simple."

"Don't make the promise so quickly, I'll tell you the requirements." Zhang Jingjian clicked on the content of the next page, and clearly stated a series of requirements.

The lines used for textiles have a cross-sectional diameter of 0.5 nanometers to 2 nanometers; the minimum textile accuracy is no less than 20 nanometers, and the number of structures is no less than 10 billion...

After seeing these requests, Xia Qiuzhen was stunned and turned his head: "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you are not kidding?"

"What do you think? Will the company spend money to invite you to come just to joke?" Zhang Jingjian asked back.

Xia Qiuzhen scratched his head: "Uh... I don't mean that, I just think designing this kind of device is completely useless because there is no 0.5-2 nanometer wire at all."

"I don't know if there is any other place, but the company really has such a line." Zhang Jingjian explained briefly.

"There are 0.5-2 nanometer lines?" Xia Qiuzhen was very surprised.

Instead of explaining in depth this aspect, Zhang Jingjian asked: "If weaving and refined control are to be achieved, what conditions need to be met?"

The engineers began to discuss, and soon they talked about some questions one after another.

One of the engineers asked: "How strong are these nanowires?"

Zhang Jingjian took out a document and handed it over it. It was covered with the cross-sectional diameters of silicon nanowires, phosphorus nanowires, copper nanowires, boron nanowires, and related strengths.

“There are both ordinary cotton and steel wire.”

"This strength is OK, high-strength silicon nanowires and copper nanowires have better operability."

"If it is this strength, it should be possible to weave it."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Qiuzhen also asked a question: "Because the accuracy is very high, a super balance system may be required, and a very good servo motor, as well as control software."

"Can you get there with domestic parts?" Zhang Jingjian also asked a key question.

Xia Qiuzhen discussed with other engineers for a while before giving an answer: "If you use domestic parts, you must ensure accuracy, and you can only rely on slow work to do it."

"How much time is estimated to be needed to process 10 billion structures based on the area of ​​a single block?"

Xia Qiuzhen, who took out the pen, calculated a few minutes on the draft paper and gave an answer: "If it is six-line knitting, according to the complexity of the pattern, 200,000 to 400,000 structures can be knitted in one hour, and 10 billion structures will be completed, which will take 25,000 to 50,000 hours."

After stopping here, Zhang Jingjian shook his head directly: "It's too slow."

Xia Qiuzhen thought about it and said another solution: "If you use the longitude and latitude thread and jump needles, the efficiency can be improved to tens of millions of structures per hour, and you need to set up a good pattern."

There are tens of millions of structures per hour, but it is barely enough. It takes about a thousand hours to weave 10 billion structures, which is about 42 days.

"If the needle duct is added, can we improve efficiency?"

Xia Qiuzhen shook his head: "Unless a more advanced control system is adopted, it will affect the accuracy. After all, the accuracy of about 20 nanometers is even too high."

Faced with this realistic problem, Zhang Jingjian had to give up for the time being. After all, it is quite difficult to become fat in one go.

He continued to discuss with Xia Qiuzhen and others, striving to achieve the best state.

The design work of nanowire textile equipment has begun to enter the substantive stage. First, a batch of parts were purchased from the market, and some special parts were customized through the snail industry.

They first assembled a two-needle knitting machine, and then asked for silicon nanowires from the laboratory, and initially tried braiding, silicon nanowires and phosphorus nanowires, silicon nanowires and boron nanowires, silicon nanowires and silicon nanowires, etc.

A lot of actual measured data was obtained, and the semiconductor laboratory was also taking action. Zhang Jingjian communicated and cooperated with Xia Qiuzhen while detecting the woven micro transistor.

It was discovered that these transistors can indeed realize circuit switching.

Huang Xiuyuan and Lu Xuedong are also paying attention to these research, although large-scale mass-produced equipment and chip circuit design require time to accumulate.

However, Suiren Company's semiconductor research and development route has successfully bypassed many obstacles in developed countries.

At least the research and development of nanowire textile equipment is much simpler than that of lithography machines and etching machines, and the nanowires themselves bypass high-purity silicon wafers and photoresist.

At the same time, the semiconductor design of the weaving method is also clearly different from the semiconductor design of the lithography method. The lithography method is top-down manufacturing, while the weaving method is bottom-up manufacturing.

In a vacuum environment, since the nanowires themselves have no impurities, the probability of defects in the braided transistor may be less than one in a billion.

The only possible problem may occur in chip circuit design, with no problem in design. The defect rate of transistors produced by braiding method will be very low, or even almost close to zero.

Huang Xiuyuan instructed Lin Baijie to increase the exploration of chip design talents and increase the application for chip design patents.

Regarding patents, Suiren Company has always been preparing for the future and avoiding being stuck in the West.

Semiconductor laboratory lounge area.

Huang Xiuyuan watched the progress of various progress and rubbed his temples tiredly: "Xuedong, how long do you think it will take to achieve mass production?"

Lu Xuedong, who was also bloodshot, replied excitedly: "If everything goes well, mass production can be initially achieved next year. I mean a simple chip. As for CPUs, it is estimated that the technology will be accumulated for a period of time. For the chip design department, it depends on the chip design department."

"We need chips so much." Huang Xiuyuan said helplessly.

Of course, Lu Xuedong knew that although Suiren Company does not use chips now, with the rise of Android, the enemies that Suiren Company needs to face will be extremely powerful.
