Chapter 1458 Failure or success?
The working principle of an immersive lithography machine is simple. In fact, it is to add a layer of water in the middle of the original dry lithography machine, and then use the refraction of light to increase the working accuracy of the dry lithography machine that has reached its limit by more than ten times.
Simply put, it's...well, the hell of working principle, we don't need to figure it out, we just need to know that the world's first immersive lithography machine is working now.
Although this is just a semi-finished product, there is no doubt that it is working on, making history.
However, the process of creating history is actually quite boring, because the whole process is very slow and takes about 20 minutes.
This process itself is even more boring. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a ray of light. The entire printing process will not be seen at all unless it is specially used for use.
But there is only one device. In Ni Guangnan's hands, Boss Jia can see only this light. There is no change in 20 minutes. Boss Jia cannot even know how the experiment is going.
Of course, as time went by, Boss Jia gradually saw the clues, because the happy researchers in the laboratory had their expressions dimmed, and their faces were full of disappointment and pain.
There is no doubt that this experiment, which is destined to be recorded in history, ended in failure.
Well, it seems that this time our boss Jia’s protagonist halo has not taken effect.
"What's wrong?" After Ni Guangnan and Lin Benjian came out together, Boss Jia immediately went up and asked.
"The whole piece of monocrystalline silicon is destroyed!" Ni Guangnan sighed and said, "Nothing is engraved on it, not even a transistor. It's all chaotic. We failed!"
"I think it's a big deal. Failure is the mother of success. What's this?" Boss Jia smiled and comforted.
Although the failure is a bit disappointing, Boss Jia still has a lot of time and money, so he is not in a hurry!
"Actually, we have failed thousands of times, but this time it is completely different!" Ni Guangnan's expression became even worse, and the word "confusion" was even written on his wrinkled face.
Of course, Boss Jia knew that this failure was very bad, because since Ni Guangnan excitedly asked him to visit the experiment, it means that Ni Guangnan and the others were at least 90% sure that they could succeed in the experiment, otherwise there would be no reason to call him, the big boss.
Would you embarrass yourself to look at them?
But the fact is that the experiment failed, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Ni Guangnan and the others.
"The most important thing is that we can't find the reason for failure!" Lin Benjian said, "We have calculated everything, and there is no problem with all the data. I even think we have a 99% success rate, but we have failed. We don't even know what the reason for failure is!"
"So..." Boss Jia smiled. "If you can't find it now, it doesn't mean you can't find it in the future. Maybe it's because some data is calculated incorrectly, or maybe it's because there is still dust. Everything is possible, right?"
"You are like nonsense!" Ni Guangnan rolled his eyes, "All right, let you see that we are embarrassed. You have nothing to do anymore. You can go back and continue to be your big boss and get your Golden Dragon Award!"
"No, I just came, so I drove me away. I'll check the experimental records before leaving!" Boss Jia said helplessly.
"Why do you look at the experimental records? I'm afraid you can't even understand the basic announcement..." Ni Guangnan said halfway through the dialect, and suddenly became mute. He suddenly remembered that Boss Jia, a student, was not collected by the back door, but by the apprentice who passed the exam.
Boss Jia himself is actually a super genius no less than Liu Nian. Even the graphene was discovered by Boss Jia, but this guy's business achievements are so dazzling that he ignores Boss Jia's character as a genius scientist.
"Then you just take a look. Maybe we just need you, a cobbler!" Ni Guangnan nodded, then took Boss Jia to change his clothes and re-entered the laboratory.
At this time, many people in the laboratory had left. Seeing Boss Jia changing his clothes and being curious, these people came in again.
Boss Jia walked straight to the test equipment and saw the single crystal silicon used for experiments. Then he directly used an electrical microscope to observe the shape of the single crystal silicon.
Just as Ni Guangnan said, although there are indeed many lines printed on this single crystal silicon, all the lines are irregular, like chaotic wool.
Unlike qualified chips, one transistor after another will be printed on them with standard printing.
When ordinary people see this single crystal silicon for the first time, they can conclude that it has failed. However, Boss Jia has been carefully observing the shape of the entire single crystal stack and the lines on it for about five minutes, while constantly measuring the data.
"Why, this guy actually discovered it?" Seeing Boss Jia's state of mind, Ni Guangnan was a little surprised.
The researchers around were also very surprised. Is Chairman Jia so good at pretending to be so good? He just pretended to take a look. Why are you doing so seriously?
Is it interesting to pretend to be able to understand it?
Of course, although these researchers were muttering in their hearts, they still looked at Boss Jia with admiration and respect on the surface. After all, they paid and they worked.
"How is it, are there any results?" Ni Guangnan asked curiously after Boss Jia finally moved his eyes away from the electron microscope.
"Of course, I made a huge discovery!" Boss Jia smiled.
"What huge discovery?" Ni Guangnan asked in surprise.
"That is, in fact, our experiment did not fail, our experiment was successful!" Boss Jia opened his mouth and said, "Congratulations, my teacher, you have created history and successfully used immersive lithography technology to create a 70nm-level chip!"
"Are you teasing me?" Ni Guangnan couldn't wait to have a teaching ruler at his hand, which could slap in Boss Jia's palm. This guy actually dared to fool his teacher.
"I'm not teasing you!" Boss Jia pointed to the optical microscope and said, "I just made a measurement. Although no transistor succeeded, all the lines were at the level of 70nm."
"This means we have succeeded. We can engrave 70nm-level lines on single crystal silicon, but we still lack a little problem in controlling the lines!"
