Starting with Chips in 1991

Yuanxin has come a long way in the semiconductor field, but the most difficult point in semiconductor manufacturing is lithography. In 2021, except for lithography, other processes in China have actually reached above 28nm As for the three major parts of lithography machines, the workpiece table has already broken through. As for the light source, the 193nm light source for DUV lithography machines has also broken through, and the 13.5Nm light source for EUV lithography machines is also being worked on. But a breakthrough in the objective lens system is a bit more difficult. Zeiss has even more patents in EUV lithography than ASML. These optical devices are so important and require many years of technology accumulation. The corporate relationship between Yuanxin and Neon Country is good, and they are now involved in the research of objective lens systems. When ASML's lithography machines surpass Nikon and Canon, they will extend an olive branch to them, especially the objective lens system. In 20 years, let alone catching up, at least we must accumulate some technology in advance. If the objective lens system of the 14nm DUV lithography machine can be taken out in 20 years, it will not be as passive as it is now.

Here I briefly talk about the possibility of creating EDA in 1991, which can be regarded as a distant reply. 1: Don't use the standards of EDA software in 2020 to view the development difficulty in 1991. 2: Just like don't use the development difficulty of Win10 to benchmark the difficulty of developing win3.0 - It only takes 6M to install win3.0, And the installation disk is only 4 floppy disks. By the way, the Linux kernel was completed by Linus alone. Friends in the open source forum wrote the code and sent it to him via email, and he put it together. It happened to be released in 1991. 3: It was around 1990 that the automatic wiring system came out. Before that, I used to draw lines manually, which was a vector drawing tool, in the style of Windows picture book. 4: In 1991, ARCSYS had only four people when it was founded, and then only a dozen or so people. But the challenge was the core technology of CADENCE: chip layout and wiring P&R. By the way, Arcsys is a company run by Chinese people. What a coincidence. 5: The reason why it was so weak at that time was largely because the algorithm had not developed much, and EDA was the most algorithm-hungry. Repeat, algorithm. Add another barrier: physics. 6: At that time, there was almost no integration between EDA and the wafer factory. It was expressed on the layout through hardware description language and then handed over to the wafer factory - you can even think of it as a cutting plotter, of course, the premise is that you must comply with the wafer factory's process. 7: The 30 years of development of programming are actually 30 years of advancement of wheels and advancement of design thinking. The wheel contains the algorithm. 8: The protagonist has developed simulation tools and mastered algorithms. For example, I still know the ancient A-star (static road network to find the shortest distance, hang up and walk). 9: In 1991, the difficulty in developing EDA in China was that we didn't know how to develop it, that we had no ideas (clear requirements), and no programming thinking. It wasn't that we didn't have the cooperation of the fab, and it wasn't that we couldn't write code. (Of course, the programming level at that time was very weak.) It wasn't that IQ was inferior to others. 10: I have completed programs independently (written and crashed), so I know that the most important thing in developing a program is the idea - only if you can't think of it, you can't implement it. This sentence is true in a sense. 11: At least in 1991, EDA was not mysterious at all. In the final analysis, its attributes are more inclined to a CAD drawing software. 12: So I recruited dozens of masters and Ph. D. S in computer science and science, including Tsinghua University and Peking University, and even a returnee Ph. D. Who specializes in algorithms, plus a time traveler to work on it, to give it face. 13: Anyone who works in software knows that the key to a software is the product manager. The protagonist is the kind of product manager who understands needs, programming, and has advanced experience. This kind of product manager usually has two words added to the prefix: awesome. 14: That's it. I don't want to hear any more condescending disdain from "industry insiders". Unless you are someone with 30 years of EDA development experience.

It looks a bit tiring. There are no details of cooperation with other companies, no shareholdings in joint ventures, no revenue of each subsidiary company, no market reaction after the press conference, and sometimes it is not even clear when the product will be released! ! ! This is a novel, not a document. Yours is more or less story-telling! ! ! !

In fact, the book is good, but I can't read it more and more. Maybe the rhythm of the whole book is hello, me, hello, everyone. All the real-life technology tycoons in the book are good people, the capital is also a good person, and the protagonist is a saint. Capital has no moral bottom line. Always remember this sentence: "When capital comes to the world, every pore is dripping with blood and filth." Many technology tycoons in reality are actually capitalists.

Butterfly Effect It's time to wake up! At present, Yuanxin belongs to the wings of an angel, and can even be compared to Kunpeng spreading its wings. Huge variables have emerged in the field of science and technology. Under the influence of the protagonist's platform, the elites in the past may be replaced by more outstanding talents (this can avoid the influence of others in the writing, and then Let's talk about the aesthetic fatigue that we all have). Let's talk about the hardware aspect of the calculator. Please check the information more carefully, Mr. Author (think about the huge amount of information to look up, your head will probably go round twice). Don't make any major omissions. Please forgive my rudeness. In fact, I have too high expectations for your work. Thousands of words are condensed into one sentence: "Please give us a perfect masterpiece" 🌹🌹

I have read a lot of business war articles about time travel. Most of the time travelers with golden fingers will give the original shares of the company to their entrepreneurial team like giving away cabbage, similar to Alibaba or Tencent. But in fact, have they ever thought about a problem? In reality, big bosses allocate shares to their entrepreneurial teams because these employees have made outstanding contributions, and even made great contributions to bringing the company back to life, just like Tencent developed WeChat. Without WeChat, there would be no Tencent today. These employees are not only simple coders, but also contribute their own wisdom to the company, help the company develop, and the role they play is even irreplaceable, so it is natural for these employees to obtain valuable original shares. But the companies founded by time-travelers with golden fingers are different. Their employees are pure coders, and everyone has a designated direction. All they need to do is work overtime. There are 996 or 007 employees all over the street. Every employee, including the general manager, is replaceable. The development of the company is almost entirely led by the personal wisdom of the time-travelers. In this case, why should we give out precious original shares? Just to avoid eating alone? Because of fraternity and loyalty? Or is it because the author has no other creative ideas? Everyone can think about it for a moment. If it were me, I wouldn't give it.

After two years, I'm here to join in the fun. This novel has the skin of a scientific research article, but it is still a business article. Of course, I also understand that many of the people involved are still alive and cannot be written. The novel tells a part of the story of overcoming obstacles, and also involves some major national policies. In theory, it has a good pattern, but why can't it be read? You have to first understand who your audience is. Those who are older or in their thirties may have feelings and thoughts about what you are writing, but if you let a person in their teens or twenties read it, they are guaranteed to be confused. If it only stays at the level of feelings and thoughts, the novel is successful, but that is just it. After all, they have been severely beaten and tortured by generations of online articles. You write these things without data or background. From the beginning to the end, you only focus on the protagonist and the business layout of Yuanxin. Once you get to the key data stage and theoretical stage, you skip writing, and even advocate how big Yuanxin is. Influence, but I'm sorry, I really didn't see it. This formed a very serious sense of separation, and there were indeed some things that were skipped in the middle, or I didn't see it. You even mentioned the battle between technology, industry and trade, and you didn't even write about the cheating of some big guys. I can only say that you are cautious enough.

This is about the protagonist Su Yuanshan, he is too greedy and wants to get involved in any industry. Right now, he is involved in hardware design and development, cordless phones 3G, software browsers and games. I will definitely invest in BAT in the future, fgy Apple and Tesla. This is really nonsense and not logical at all. The United States itself has no low-end industrial chain and only has high-end industrial chain. And then your Chinese company took away more than half of it. If this continues, George W. Bush will probably stop fighting Iraq and start a trade war with China instead.

I don't know who learned this from whom I learned that shares and rights will be divided if there is a disagreement. People's hearts cannot stand the test. Even if people's hearts are there, you can't withstand the torture of reality. If you understand the Alstom incident in France, you will understand the horror of capital. The company and its employees are mutually beneficial. It does not mean that the game cannot continue without one of them. How can the original shares be given out casually if only the right to dividends is given? Does it mean that if a talent is created, shares must be divided? To put it harshly, people in that era were ignorant. They were not satisfied with a job with high benefits and still wanted to go to heaven? I hope the author will change it, otherwise there will be too many poisonous points and it will easily collapse later.

Talk about age. The protagonist traveled back in time to 2020. In 1991, it was exactly 29 years. If he was in his 20s in 1991, then the protagonist would be in his 50s when he traveled through time in 2020. No one wants to see an old man in his 50s with a mentality, right? And at the age of 45, I am just stuck in the youth barrier. In addition, the psychological age of someone who has always been engaged in technology is relatively young, so the protagonist's mentality and behavior will not be too inconsistent. On the contrary, an old man in his 50s cannot look younger no matter what. I actually calculated my age with a calculator. . . Hope everyone knows.
