Pushing up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he thought thoughtfully and said, "Maybe the situation is not that bad."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room looked over, including Mr. T, the CEO sitting at the head, looking forward to his answer.
After thinking for a while, Robert Lighthizer continued: "It is undeniable that China's breakthrough in the field of carbon-based chips is a huge threat to us, and may even subvert our advantages in the field of silicon-based semiconductors."
"But for us, there is no need to be so pessimistic."
"Especially in the semiconductor space."
"After all, in this field, over the past few decades, the technical barriers that we and our allies have spent a long time and made huge investments to establish are not so easy to break."
"And even if carbon-based chips are formed, it will not be easy for them to gain sufficient market."
"Currently, the whole world is using silicon-based chips, and the entire Internet and related software and hardware are also based on silicon-based semiconductors."
"This is an ecological chain that involves the whole world. It is not easy to break it, even with carbon-based chips."
"It is undeniable that carbon-based chips may indeed be very powerful, but they have just solved the core technical problems and are like a weak baby."
"After all, sometimes it is not just technology that determines the market competitiveness of a product, but also a series of issues including compatibility and industry influence."
"In comparison, the silicon-based semiconductor ecological chain that we have spent decades building is more like an adult with weapons."
"Perhaps giving it another ten years to grow may pose a threat to us, but at least for now, I don't think the threat of carbon-based chips is very big."
"After all, in the face of silicon-based products with a complete ecological chain, carbon-based chips have little chance."
"We still have enough time to experiment and explore our own carbon-based chips, and we also have time to negotiate with the other party. If the other party is willing to let go of the technology and patents related to carbon-based chips, we may try to give them a chance to cooperate.
.”
"If the other party is not willing, then let them play with their own carbon-based chips."
Having said this, the atmosphere in the conference room was obviously aroused and no longer so low and negative.
Robert Lighthizer smiled, looked at the person sitting in the first place and continued: "In addition, since Professor Xu has helped us prove that the carbon-based chip is feasible."
"At least the core problem of high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays has been solved. I think we should also increase investment and research and development in this field in a timely manner."
"China can make it, and I believe we can too!"
After a slight pause, he continued:
"In addition, we can also use some off-market means, such as through news and public opinion, to maintain doubts about carbon-based chips. We can also unite with semiconductor manufacturers to see if we can use cooperation or questioning to see if we can get rid of carbon-based chips.
The other party got samples of high-density integrated carbon nanotube materials, etc."
"Whether these measures will work is another matter, but they will definitely help us buy some time!"
"Moreover, regardless of success or failure, we should unite with our allies to jointly target the development of carbon-based semiconductors at Xinghai Research Institute. I believe they will not refuse."
"After all, this has come to a moment when our common destiny in the future is decided!"
