Chapter 399 Small problem of operation speed

Jiang Bo glanced around and saw that hundreds of technicians were busy in the huge workshop, and the operation of the machinery and equipment was endless, but he did not see the device in his mind.

Jiang Bo couldn't help but look at Ke Peng and wondered: "Didn't you say on the phone that the new fullerene device has been built? Where? Why didn't I see it? Isn't here or is it?"

Ke Peng twitched twice, stared at Zheng Shouyi with resentment, and coughed lightly: "That boss, the thing has indeed been made, but General Manager Zheng said it was unqualified and it was a defective product... and someone else had someone dismantled it again."

Jiang Bo brows slightly moved when he heard this and looked at Zheng Shouyi: "Professor Zheng, what's going on? What's wrong?"

Zheng Shouyi's eyes were calm and replied: "There were some problems with the chips, and the output was low, which was still far from the qualification indicators of the first generation. I asked someone to dismantle it, intending to re-sweep the technology and doubts from beginning to end, and see where it was ignored."

"Is there something wrong with the chip?" Jiang Bo was slightly stunned.

Zheng Shouyi looked at Ke Peng, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the situation.

Zheng Shouyi asked the people in the workshop chipset to manufacture the ultramicroelectron chips, and the people in the chipset turned to Ke Peng for help.

After Ke Peng informed Jiang Bo about the matter, Jiang Bo asked him to go to OEM factories such as Unigroup or Huaxin for OEM.

Ke Peng didn't think this was difficult at first. His plan was to let Unigroup produce the chips of the fullerene device in foundry. He sadly discovered that even if TSMC and Inter came, the chips of this fullerene device could not be made.

Because the chip process reaches 2nm, it cannot be built with the most advanced a**l extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.

Therefore, Ke Peng could only settle for the second best, and asked Unigroup to use the 7nm process to build chips. Although the chips are still usable, their performance is much worse.

I didn't care at first and always felt that it was not the key, but today I tested it and the truth was revealed.

Jiang Bo heard this and said, "I still didn't understand. The chip performance was not enough. Then, what was wrong?"

Ke Peng looked at Zheng Shouyi, and then Zheng Shouyi explained: "The chip's performance is insufficient and can only be detected in specific software programs.

This has to start with the CNC system. The functions of the CNC system compiled at the headquarters are mainly divided into two parts.

The first part is the precise regulation of nine links including ultraviolet laser pulse equipment, vacuum generators, electromagnetic standardized fields, refrigeration systems, etc.

The second part is the control of all other driving units.

Among them, the first part of the regulation of ultraviolet laser pulse equipment and electromagnetic standardized fields is the key among the keys.

Not to mention the ultraviolet laser pulse equipment, we use German products. After a small modification, this thing meets the standards except power.

All CNC systems need to control the output frequency according to its peak value to prevent excessive power from damaging equipment parts."

Zheng Shouyi paused and said in a deep voice: "But the electromagnetic normative field is not easy to be adjusted. A single pulse with a power of 10tw in the 100 femtosecond level will have a laser pulse with a power of 10tw. After bombarding the raw materials, a large number of molecular bonds of the raw materials are directly destroyed, forming carbon positive ions and carbon negative ions.

At this time, under the control of the CNC system, the electromagnetic specification field will accurately regulate this part of the charged carbon ions through an identification method.

Then, through the bombardment of secondary laser pulses, they are bombarded into molecules composed entirely of carbon in different structures, including fullerene c60.

Of course, this process will synthesize many other useless carbon molecules when the pulse width of the laser pulse does not reach the specific synthetic pulse width of fullerene c60."

Jiang Bo nodded slightly. These are all relatively basic knowledge in technical information. He understood it and did not interrupt. He continued to listen.

Zheng Shouyi said: "The identification unit of the CNC system consuming a lot of computing speed for the identification of carbon ions. Although it is only roughly identifying and screening, it still has to be discussed at 1 tflops per second, that is, 1 trillion times per second.

Originally, the chips made with 2nm process have relatively dense integrated circuits, and the area of ​​the entire chip is only tens of square centimeters and the size of a palm.

However, because it was replaced with a 7nm process chip, the surface area of ​​the chip increased by nearly twenty times, and the operating performance fluctuated greatly.

Under high-speed computing, after the performance reaches its peak, the actual computing speed also drops by more than half, resulting in insufficient identification and standardized number of carbohydrates and carbohydrates per unit time, which directly affects the synthesis of c60 molecules.

This is the reason I asked someone to analyze and find out after the test."

"It means that there is a problem with the chip's computing?" Jiang Bo was stunned.

"Yes."

Jiang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I thought it was a problem? Isn't the computing speed a little? Since the computing speed is not enough, then increase the depiction area of ​​the integrated circuit in the chip and increase the number of transistors in the chip.

Or, if you directly connect multiple chips to use them, isn’t the technology in this regard mature? In this way, will the computing speed be improved?”

Zheng Shouyi nodded and said, "You said, we have considered that if you do this, the computing speed can indeed meet the standards.

But when you didn't come just now, we found that even if the calculation speed meets the standard or exceeds the standard, we can only double the output at most."

Jiang Bo smiled and said, "Two times are already very good. Oh, by the way, after saying so much, I don't know how the output of the device just now is. It shouldn't be too low, right?"

"Ten hours of daily work and ten hours of night work, daily output is 10 kg. If you don't take a break, you can get up to 12 kg per day."

"Does it cost 10 kilograms per day..." Jiang Bo touched his chin and calculated, and said, "Actually, it's not too little, what's the cost?"

Zheng Shouyi looked at Ke Peng after hearing this, saying that Ke Peng was doing statistics on this matter.

Ke Peng quickly replied: "The cost of a device is about 10 million, less than 20 million. If the production scale is increased, the fixed cost can be further allocated and the raw material price can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost as well."

Equities of scale can reduce costs, which is well known.

After hearing what Ke Peng said, the cost of a device is less than 20 million, and it will be able to make a profit in at most ten days.

Calculated, although the output of the device did not meet expectations, it was actually very good.

However, since Zheng Shouyi said that he was not qualified and wanted to do it again, Jiang Bo naturally hoped that the output could be higher.

Thinking of this, Jiang Bo asked: "In addition to chip computing speed, what other issues are restricting the output of the device? Have you found it?"
