Chapter 129: Breakthrough
Lao Gao conducted a series of experiments based on the two factors of light and temperature, and finally found out the decisive factor, light!
He simulated sunlight with a flashlight and illuminated the light reflection area of the single crystal furnace.
Finally, a silicon wafer with a purity of 10% was really extracted!
Moreover, he found that depending on the intensity of the light, the purity of the extraction also varied, ranging from % to %!
When everyone learned about Lao Gao's experimental results, they all flocked to his laboratory!
He explained the principle of lighting to everyone!
Then I did three experiments in front of everyone, and found that the data was indeed between %~%!
When they saw the test results with their own eyes, they were immediately excited!
After half a year, their silicon wafer purity finally exceeded 99%!
With Lao Gao's amazing discovery, as long as they follow this direction of research, I believe it won't take long to develop silicon wafers with higher purity!
When they cooperate with the lithography machine research department to develop a 17nm lithography machine, they will be able to produce 17nm chips!
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became.
"Lao Gao, you are so awesome!"
"You are truly the hero of our silicon wafer department!"
"Great! Haha..."
"..."
Ding Haibo, the director of the silicon wafer department who was doing experiments next door, heard the cheers here!
He came over quickly and said with a straight face!
"What are you doing? This is a laboratory, no loud noises are allowed!"
During this period, he saw the closed research in the lithography machine department and was sure that they had made a major technological breakthrough.
As for their silicon wafer department, there has been no technological progress for half a year, which puts him under a lot of pressure!
When everyone saw it was Director Ding Haibo, they excitedly said to him!
"Director Ding, good news!"
"We have a technological breakthrough!"
"Lao Gao, he developed a pure silicon wafer!"
"We finally made a breakthrough!"
"..."
Ding Haibo heard important information from everyone's chatter!
He immediately grabbed a researcher next to him and said!
"What did you say? We extracted % of the silicon wafers?"
"Yes, Director Ding, look, this is the test list!"
Ding Haibo grabbed the test sheet and read it!
The above shows as expected: Silicon wafer purity %!
Then he looked at another test sheet, which showed: Silicon wafer purity %!
He read several test sheets in succession and found that the purity of the silicon wafers reached over 99%!
Ding Haibo's hands trembled with excitement! He was chanting!
"Breakthrough! We finally broke through! Haha..."
"Who researched this?"
"Director Ding is Lao Gao, he developed it!"
Then Lao Gao told what happened!
Ding Haibo was so happy when he heard the coincidental research results!
So, he said to Lao Gao!
"Lao Gao, please prepare. I will immediately organize a meeting for all scientific researchers. You can give everyone a report!"
Later, when the scientific researchers in the silicon wafer department heard that there was a major breakthrough, they all rushed to the conference room!
After Lao Gao finished explaining the new results, everyone was excited, and then they discussed six research plans!
Ding Haibo divided everyone into six groups and studied the six options at the same time.
As long as they find that one of the six plans is feasible, they can focus on attacking this plan!
Ding Haibo believes that it won’t take them long to extract higher purity silicon wafers!
Afterwards, everyone excitedly threw themselves into the research!
On the same day, Ding Haibo told Director Zhang about the major breakthrough in silicon wafers.
Director Zhang was very excited when he heard this good news!
He did not expect that at the same time that their research institute's lithography machine made breakthroughs, silicon wafer technology also made breakthroughs!
In this case, he can complete the tasks assigned by the leader ahead of schedule!
Kyoto Research Institute No. 3 Lithography Machine Research Department!
Including Mr. Qiao and Jiang Fan, there are a total of 80 people here, and each of them is busy with their work in an nervous and orderly manner!
At the beginning, many people were very uncomfortable with Jiang Fan's closed research.
They are in the laboratory 24 hours a day, have meals delivered by dedicated staff, and sleep on simple beds when they are tired.
Everyone only sleeps 3 to 4 hours a day. Many people simply cannot persist in such high-intensity work!
But when they saw that Xia Xiaoyu, Xu Guangyuan and Niu Xu were getting blood every day, they became more determined to refuse to admit defeat!
What surprised everyone even more was that the three of them completed the tasks assigned by Jiang Fan very quickly!
Almost crushed all the old scientific researchers here.
The three of them are students who have not yet graduated, and it is their first time to come into contact with a lithography machine, which makes them feel very embarrassed!
Especially those self-righteous old scientific researchers were deeply taught a lesson by them!
It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front hit the beach!
After everyone saw the abilities of the three of them, no one dared to underestimate them.
Sometimes I don’t understand something about the tasks given by Jiang Fan, so I ask them for help!
Mr. Qiao has been through a lot of trouble these past ten days. After all, he is over fifty years old and his body is a little overwhelmed.
But seeing everyone under the leadership of Jiang Fan, the 7-nanometer lithography machine is making great progress every day, he has been in a state of excitement!
"Chief Engineer Qiao, you'd better take a rest!"
One of the researchers said to Mr. Qiao!
"It's okay, I'm not tired!"
"Look at the dark circles under your eyes, you are almost turning into a giant panda!"
"It will be developed soon, how can I sleep!"
Mr. Qiao’s face was full of excitement when he spoke!
He glanced at Jiang Fan, who was busy checking the equipment, and felt indescribably happy!
He never imagined that under the leadership of Jiang Fan, everyone would complete the equipment for the 7-nanometer lithography machine in just ten days!
This speed will definitely shock the scientific research community!
After Jiang Fan finished checking the equipment, Mr. Qiao walked up!
"Jiang Fan, can your body still bear this?"
Jiang Fan patted his chest and said!
"no problem!"
"It's great to be young! Haha..."
Mr. Qiao simply admired Jiang Fan. Others stayed up late for more than ten days and their faces looked haggard, but he was as handsome as ever and full of energy.
In fact, what Mr. Qiao didn't know was that Jiang Fan had a late-night capsule rewarded by the system!
"Jiang Fan, how long will it take for the photolithography equipment to be completed?"
"About 10 hours!" Jiang Fan replied!
When Mr. Qiao heard this time, he was immediately excited!
Then he said to everyone!
"If everyone persists for another 10 hours, our 7-nanometer lithography machine will be developed!"
When everyone heard the news, they replied with great momentum!
Chapter completed!
