Chapter 1091
The crowd was helpless and just as emotional about it.
The United States is not stupid, and these bigwigs are even less stupid.
What does it mean that Li Linfei has brought together China's domestic semiconductor giants so easily and efficiently?
It means that Future Technology has a good treasure, there is meat to eat! There is no profit in the world.
But no matter what, even if it is not to the worst prediction, but the emergence of this semiconductor alliance, even if there is nothing now, but as long as it exists, from a long-term perspective is definitely a huge threat, even scratching for Heisi are in this system.
It can be said that although this alliance system has just been born, but has a solid foundation, coupled with the strong capital of the Future Technology Group, even a group of rabble, people stupid money can also smash out a piece of heaven, right?
Besides, no one would think that the team Li Linfei and his group were a rabble, at least the leader, Ye Hua, made them very nervous.
"Let's talk first, as long as the other side promises not to mess with that alliance, it's all negotiable. If you can't negotiate, just block it, find a reason for those 76 semiconductor companies to block it."
"These semiconductor makers don't have the strong reserves of Coastline, and each company has problems with heavy external dependence on their main core business; it won't take long to go into shock as long as they're stuck in technology." So said the head of Broadcom, expressionless and confident.
"Just, on what grounds? After all, with so many, an outright blockade would put us at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion, and the other side would become the sad heroes instead." The head of Texas Instruments spoke up.
At this point, Bob Swan, the boss of Intel, grinned coldly, "The fact that they joined and facilitated the CSAC semiconductor alliance is the biggest reason, the Future Technology Group is currently experiencing a joint blockade by many countries, they are doing the tiger a favour if they want to follow the coastline, they are willing for us to refuse, so isn't this reason enough?"
At these words, a group of bigwigs looked at each other and could not help but nod at each other. It's just that everyone here is feeling very emotional in their hearts ah, this Intel is really a villainous bastard ah, the one who strikes most decisively didn't expect it to be him.
......
As time went on, Li Linfei powerfully integrated the cutting-edge talents of the entire semiconductor alliance together to form a heavenly team of research assistants, and all of the other semiconductor companies' pressed talents were lent to him for use.
The research base is located in the First Research Institute of Future Technology, and now that the research team is basically in place, the next task is to go all out to climb the technology.
But Li Linfei did not put all his efforts on the research team, because the troubles of the Future Technology Group are still there, and have not disappeared, although he is not worried, but the current situation is that the crisis moment of the Future Technology Group has not been lifted, but more and more aggressive.
Especially after the announcement of the birth of this new semiconductor industry alliance, outsiders looking in thought that Li Linfei was going to completely flip the rhythm with Silicon Valley, and the US partners.
The media both at home and abroad are making a big deal out of the fact that Xiangzhong PK Silicon Valley, China Semiconductor PK American Semiconductor, flip-flopping, firepower, insouciance, new king on the throne, dynasty forever, and a series of phrases.
The people who are eating these messages seem to have a complete breakup between the two sides and want to fight each other to the death.
But none of this affected Li Linfei's established arrangements.
The next time, he frequently ran in the Future Technology Group and the First Research Institute, Li Linfei is a bit stressed, after all, is regarded as all hope ah.
Allies thought that even with Li Linfei at the helm, it would take three or even five years for the semiconductor business to make a breakthrough, even if a miracle was born. After all, integrated circuits are really too complex, and the process requirements are extremely demanding.
Master Ren started laying out integrated circuits 15 years ago, but only now are the first results being seen, and that's with an average of three to five billion dollars of R&D funding being thrown at them every year.
Other domestic semiconductor companies have a year's revenue less than half of Huawei Heisi's investment in semiconductor research and development, and even some semiconductor companies in the country belong to the top but only three or four billion yuan in revenue.
This shows how difficult it is to break through this barrier of semiconductors. But Li Linfei's ambition is so big that all his allies wouldn't dream of it, because his heart's expectation is to not only get a breakthrough in about six months, but also to be able to connect to the market supply, that is, to be able to connect to the chip supply before MS uses up its last home base.
Li Linfei did not tell them the target he had set, because it was too exaggerated and would make his partners think you were unreliable, after all, what is the difference between trying to fix it in half a year and being open.
The source of the basic material for integrated circuit devices in the world today is the application of silicon, but Li Linfei gave up the application of silicon and instead chose a brand new super material - tin.
A two-dimensional tin-ene material to be exact.
The superconductivity of tin has been discovered for over a hundred years, but the phenomenon exists only in white tin (β-Sn).
The other common phase of tin is grey tin (α-Sn), which is semi-metallic and does not possess superconductivity.
Only in recent years has it been realised that grey tin is a topological insulator.
The scholar Shoucheng Zhang predicted back then that a single layer of grey tin along a particular orientation of the crystal, known as a two-dimensional stilbene, has a hexagonal structure similar to that of graphene and may have a number of important topological properties such as the greenhouse quantum spin Hall effect.
His prediction has not yet been confirmed, but his prediction is right because it corresponds to the knowledge in Ye Hua's mind, and the development he is doing is to turn his prediction into a realistic truth.
The worship of Li Linfei by all the technical engineers on the periphery of the First Research Institute of the Future Technology Group is blind, for only by experiencing it can one understand why one worships him so much for a series of important topological properties such as the effect.
His predictions have not yet been confirmed, but his predictions are right because they correspond to the knowledge in Li Linfei's mind, and the development he is doing is to turn his predictions into real truth.
The first major thing Li Linfei had to do was to get Li Yi to fix the technology for the production of two-dimensional stilbene as required by the tin materials he had redeemed from the system.
Chapter 1092
Now with one of the top, if not the world's top, research assistant teams for integrated circuit development under its command, multiple points must be developed simultaneously and in parallel if it is to achieve this crazy goal, which anyone would consider impossible, within six months.
There is a team for the production of two-dimensional tinene, and another team for the unfolding of very low temperature electrical and magnetic transport measurements on tinene films, etc.
The whole huge research assistant team, more than 60% of them are people from Friends, the remainder are only people from the Future Technology Group. All the peripheral technical engineers of the First Research Institute of the Future Technology Group worship Li Linfei blindly.
Because only through experience can they understand why they worship him so much. At first the new batch of research engineers from Friendship Business were very uncomfortable with the research style of these people, the feeling was as if they were helping to play a hand, everyone had come over ambitiously, even hoping to take the lead in the conquest of a subject of research.
However, Li Linfei directly gave them data and conclusions, and gave them work to verify his conclusions through experiments, after all, any theory must withstand experimental proof or falsification in order to become the truth and be convinced by the world, otherwise it is only a hypothesis.
Surprisingly, in subsequent experiments, they found that thin films of stilbene, two atomic layers thick and thicker, had two-dimensional superconductivity, the first time superconductivity had been experimentally confirmed in grey tin.
This was an exciting breakthrough, and the next experimental studies showed that the density of states of the stilbene was modulated by the substrate, leading to the appearance of superconductivity.
By varying the thickness of the substrate, the transition from single-band to double-band superconductors was also achieved, and the team was even more excited by the fact that the epitaxially grown tinene films were extremely stable and their superconductivity was maintained for a long time without any protective layer.
And exactly how long it takes time to verify, this can't be helped, to get the actual data, we have to wait.
But once again, Li Linfei gave them a surprising conclusion, its superconductivity can be maintained for 28 months.
The new group of friendly researchers who joined the team were initially sceptical, but the previous validation made them sceptical of themselves as well.
In the days that followed, they discovered for the first time that it was so easy to do research and development, and that they already had so many proven results in such a short time. The hell it wasn't.
If they were doing research on their own before, it was like doing a problem that required a step-by-step approach, but now that Li Linfei gave them the conclusion and then went to experiment, it was the equivalent of giving you the answers to copy in an exam.
How can it not be easy? Then this group of people also gradually fell into a blind worship of Li Linfei, because facts speak louder than words.
In accordance with the laws of mankind's past scientific history, this current point in time, it was indeed time for a scientific god-like figure like von Neumann and Dirac to appear on the scene.
The members of the research team felt more and more that Li Linfei and his technicians were it, and that they might be even more terrifying than the great scientists of history.
Although the assistant research team were pleasantly surprised at getting so many validated results in such a short period of time, this is just the beginning as opposed to having to achieve full autonomy and supply the market.
If the whole goal is 100%, then the results achieved now are only 3%, which shows how difficult the IC is. If Li Linfei didn't hang up, he wouldn't dare to boast in front of so many semiconductor bigwigs in China.
But everything is difficult at the beginning, for this task, the beginning is good behind will be more and more smooth, because the upstream end is done, the assistant research team immediately disbanded, and then distributed down.
The IC design team will work on IC design, the packaging and testing team will work on packaging and testing, and all the links in the IC industry chain will work simultaneously.
The major companies joining the CSAC Semiconductor Industry Consortium have all concluded a unique rule that only members of the system are able to obtain priority in supply, and in fact Li Linfei is following the model of the Dutch lithography company ASML.
The model is a good one, but of course we have to borrow it, and Li Linfei is not a pedantic person.
ASML's rule is that only those who invest in ASML can get the priority of supply, and the Chinese are not included in this list, so it can't be helped that the Chinese are crowding out the rabbits because they have the power of the writing wheel.
Simply put, ASML requires its own customers to invest in itself before it can do so. This special cooperation model has enabled ASML to obtain a large amount of funds, including Intel, Samsung, TSMC and Hynix all have considerable shares in ASML, and it can be said that most of the world's semiconductor industry are relatives of ASML, basically all have relatives, which has formed a huge community of interest.
ASML is using investment means to maintain this model, but the future technology group certainly can not, because Li Linfei is both money and technology master, but lack of help, and is reliable help.
But a living man can't be suffocated by a bird, change is the key, so Li Linfei chose another means to maintain, that is the patent technology barrier.
Within the CSAC semiconductor club system, all the patent barriers were broken, and then the watermelon was cut up and divided, so that only members of the system could have priority in obtaining the right to supply, thus forming a huge community of interest.
Of course, as the development progresses, the share of core technology held by the Future Technology Group is expanding, and Li Linfei still has a relentless pursuit of core technology.
But the watermelon has been cut, and FutureTech is committed to taking only one slice of it, so long as the other allies do not withdraw from the group, the interests will not be compromised, or at least not targeted by the coastline companies.
After all, you Future Technology is the default ally of everyone, or you also Li Linfei is the master of the system of CSAC.
Li Linfei is naturally aware of how difficult it is to gather a group and how easy it is to break a group, for example, just the injustice of the principal can cause a seemingly unbreakable alliance to fall apart in an instant, and any problems with the other participants are minor.
Kicking out while it vacates a position is immediately replaced, but injustice on the part of the principals can make the whole system much less credible.
The CSAC was born out of a combination of good timing and good people.
