Reborn Millennial Gamer

Dong Jianguo didn't want to stay in the lakeside villa for a moment.

It was dawn, and I didn't even eat breakfast, so Ivanka was left without saying goodbye.

Lu Fei returned to his bedroom from Ivanka's room, and after washing up, he sat in the study.

At this time, Huaxia Pengcheng on the other side of the ocean.

The complex core under the night is brightly lit.

Sun Hongjun, Hu Zhengming, Liang Mengsong, Wang Ningguo, Hu Yuhua and other high-level officials gathered in one place.

After more than a year of preparation for the risky trial production of 40/45nm process technology, it is finally time to see the truth.

Except for people from Fuxin, there were only a few SMIC executives like Zhang Rujing, and none of AMD and Samsung, which joined forces with Fuxin, were invited, in order to prevent leaks.

"Boss Lu, let's start!"

From the phone, Lu Fei heard Sun Hongjun's uneasiness.

The cost of tape-out is very high. In order to ensure the yield rate of chips, chip manufacturers often arrange corresponding risk trial production to determine the yield rate of the latest technology after the new technology is finalized.

The testing process includes functional testing, performance testing and reliability testing, and the whole process is like a medical examination in conscription work.

Candidates who have passed multiple physical examination indicators are qualified for the interview!

Some chips in the same wafer are qualified, and some chips are unqualified. The purpose of the test is to pick out qualified chips and eliminate unqualified chips. Qualified chips are also called "live chips", that is, all electrical signals meet the requirements. circuit test.

Conversely, if there is an electrical signal that does not meet the requirements and fails the circuit test, it is a "dead chip" that is unqualified.

After the test is completed, there will be a colorful picture of the test results. The green ones represent active chips, and the other colors represent dead chips. Different colors represent different "death methods".

Red means that the leakage current of a certain circuit is too large.

Blue means that the breakdown voltage of a circuit is too small...

The process of waiting for the test results was extremely tormented, the scene was deadly silent, the needle could be heard, and the atmosphere was dignified and tense.

Lu Fei couldn't sit still anymore, he paced back and forth.

This is a 45nm process technology!

40nm and 45nm belong to the same generation process,
Without changing the chip design, adopting new design principles, as long as you follow TSMC's 45nm process design process, you can directly obtain the competitive advantage provided by the 40nm process.

In other words, breaking through 45nm is equivalent to breaking through 40nm, which is currently the world's top level.

For foundries across the country, including SMIC, the process technology is still struggling at 65nm, or even 90nm, and 40/45nm is far away, basically impossible.

Now, Huaxia has such a company that is expected to achieve zero breakthrough!

Catch up with Platform Semiconductor, UMC, Intel's first echelon,

Success or failure is here!
At 32:, the result of the good product rate of the compound core process production line was freshly released, and it was fixed at %.

It is more than 65 points higher than the 20nm yield rate!
It is 40 points higher than the yield rate of TSMC's 45/2nm risk trial production!

The trial production link is a key step in assessing the risk of large-scale mass production, which means that Fuxin’s 40/45nm process technology has successfully completed the risk trial production, and can enter small-scale mass production. While producing, the yield rate is improved, and then mass production .

"Oooo!!"

In an instant, screams and shouts erupted from the scene.

Regardless of whether they were wearing dust-proof clothing, they hugged, jumped, and clapped lamely, venting out all the pressure, blood and sweat, and even the hair lost after working overtime and staying up late for more than a year. How aggrieved, how excited I am to reach the international level now.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!
Don't bully the young and poor!Middle-aged Joan!old poor

"Old grandson, grandson, give red envelopes, big red envelopes!!"

Lu Fei clenched his fist and punched the air.

Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat!

To put it bluntly, sharing money is the most advanced corporate culture. Employees have no interests and benefits, so talk about culture and ideals.

Team building tours, red envelope bonuses, year-end awards, option dividends, and even rank promotions, give it all!
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhang wants to talk to you."

Sun Hongjun agreed one by one, and handed the phone to Zhang Rujing.

"Mr. Lu, you are right! You are right to support the decision to skip the generation!" Zhang Rujing cried and laughed, "I was conservative, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

"Haha, it mainly depends on Dr. Hu, Dr. Liang and the whole team. Without them, no matter how much I support them, it's useless."

Lu Fei took a sip of water to calm down.

"Mr. Lu is a formidable young man. It is really the waves of the Yangtze River that push forward the waves of the past. In the future, China's foundry will rely on Fuxin."

Zhang Rujing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Mr. Zhang, don't say that."

Lu Fei called the housekeeper to send some food, "40/45nm technology also has a share of SMIC, and when Fuxin is in small-scale mass production, according to the agreement, both you and AMD can get technical information and authorization, let us continue to work together ..."

"I'm afraid I won't see that day."

Zhang Rujing sighed and told the truth.

The international lawsuit between SMIC and TSMC will be resolved this year. The trial is quite unfavorable to SMIC. It is very likely that they will have to pay 2 million US dollars and 10% of SMIC’s shares. Because of the loss of the lawsuit, I may have to take the blame and resign .

"Mr. Zhang, it's best to stay. Don't worry if you can't. Fuxin's door is always open to you."

Lu Fei threw out an olive branch. He followed Liang Mengsong's path exactly. He pretended to take a second job at Shuimu University, and took a part-time job as a professor at the School of Logic Semiconductor Information.

Hold up the bone and use it as a torch!
"This... I have to think about it."

Zhang Rujing couldn't help but be moved, "But the top priority, Mr. Lu must beware of TSMC. After SMIC, the next one must be Fuxin. It is best to suppress the news of 40/45nm process skipping, and try to press it to the mass production stage. .”

"It makes sense."

Lu Fei stroked his chin and told Sun Hongjun to do the same.

There was no high-profile announcement, no celebration banquet, and Fuxin employees were even asked to keep a low profile and take vacations in rotation.

However, there are no impenetrable walls.

Even if Fuxin does not disclose it, after all, there is a third party, SMIC, and there will always be people who cannot resist the urge to share with their friends.

"Old classmate, let me tell you something. Don't tell others that Foxin has launched a 40/45nm risk trial production! Yes, yes, I have a part in it!"

"Teacher, this year let the younger brothers and sisters retaliate against the core if they can retaliate against the core, and repay the logic if they can't repay the core. The core has produced 40/45nm. It is really true and absolutely true."

"Mr. Liu, there is a secret. Let me tell you, we have made a breakthrough in 40/45nm. Of course it is true. It was done in Fuxin Pengcheng Fab, and we completed it together with Fuxin!"

"Have you heard? 40/45nm process breakthrough!"

"Fuxin, right, you are all behind the news."

"........."

The circle of China's semiconductor industry is small, but the news of the successful trial production of the risky 40/45nm process technology is very big.

Just a huge boulder was thrown into the small pool, and the water immediately splashed everywhere!
In addition to their own logic, Yangtze River Storage, and China Microelectronics, Hua Hong, Hongli, Huawei, Microelectronics and other peers were confused after receiving the news.

Is the world turning too fast, or is it collectively hanging up?

How do you feel that Fuxin is not in the same country as them?
Inexplicably, I feel like I am a poor student in the class, dragging down the two top students of Fuxin and SMIC?
Calls from all directions came in one after another.

Sun Hongjun, Wang Ningguo and others were blown up, and the employees involved in the manufacturing process were also blown up. Even Weibo, QQ, and blogs have many [Mainland Northern Netizens] showing up.

All teachers, students, alumni, friends, and former colleagues who are related to each other are all insinuating and seeking evidence in different ways.

"I heard that Fuxin has developed 40/45nm?"

"Junior brother, is it real or not? If it's true, I'll quit in the second half of the year! Do you have the qualifications for referral?"

"Do you still recognize the teacher? Let you answer 'yes or no', you answer 'or', it is so difficult to listen to a letter!"

"Do you want graduate students? Do you want doctoral students? You just need to admit that all the students from NPU have gone to Fuxin this year!"

"..."

From enterprises, to colleges, to the media, everyone is discussing the sudden explosion news, but the government, especially Pengcheng, is belatedly aware of what's going on, my hen?

A large number of insiders broke the news on Weibo, claiming to be Fuxin and logic employees, and the posts were quickly deleted, but there were also chicken thief netizens who took screenshots in advance to piece together the truth——

99.9999%, Fuxin has achieved zero breakthrough in 40/45nm process!

Some netizens simply went to @Lu Fei’s Weibo, and went over the wall to leave a message under his Facebook and Twitter.

Naturally, Lu Fei's phone calls never stopped.

And of course, Samsung.

I heard the news reported by my subordinates at the morning meeting that Lee Jae-yong and Lee Fu-jin were all rumors and jokes.

As a condition for getting Liang Mengsong at the beginning, a "gentlemen's agreement" could be reached with Samsung. From 65nm to 45nm technology, Samsung and Fuxin have technical cooperation, but even Li Fuzhen, who trusts Lu Fei, doesn't think that Fuxin can be faster than Samsung. Completed 40/45nm risk trial production.

However, listening to more and more news from the Samsung office in China, it seems that they have to accept this fact.

The result was that the meeting was not halfway through, Li Zairong couldn't hold back his face, and was so angry that he announced the adjournment on the spot. He pulled his confidants and subordinates to hold an urgent small meeting, but deliberately excluded Li Fuzhen.

Li Fuzhen didn't bother to mix it up, and contacted Bangzi's subordinates in the Samsung-Fuxin joint venture fab. Even though the four phone calls had confirmed it, she still found it unbelievable.

She has served as Samsung's wafer minister, and she knows nothing better——

It is difficult for the manufacturing process to catch up with the first echelon!
For the 45nm process, Samsung has to find Infineon, IBM, and Chartered Semiconductor to join forces. Even if the four parties cooperate fully, there is still a time difference of at least one or two quarters before the risky trial production.

Just as France doesn't understand why China, which is poor and white, built the first hydrogen bomb faster than itself, Li Fuzhen also doesn't understand, the only thing he can think of is -

The gap between Liang Mengsong and Jiang Shangyi is too great!
"So it's true?"

Li Fuzhen couldn't care about the time difference, so he called Lu Fei for verification.

"To be precise, 40nm and 45nm broke through on the same day, and the yield rate can be stabilized at about 32%."

Lu Fei didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. It took only one day for it to reach Samsung. Facing Li Fuzhen, he had nothing to hide and revealed everything he could.

Li Fuzhen held the phone and was speechless for a long time.

The mood is very complicated. I am happy that Foxin has made a gratifying breakthrough and Samsung has benefited from it, but as a member of the Samsung family, I watched Foxin surpass Samsung step by step.

It depends on Liang Mengsong who cut off Hu from Samsung!
"You only achieved mass production of 65nm last year, so you decided to skip the half-node of 55nm?"

Li Fuzhen sighed, "Is this Liang Mengsong's idea?"

"It's collective intelligence."

Lu Fei made a haha, so he would not leave anything to talk about. Liang Mengsong is still burdened with a non-compete agreement. He is not afraid of yuan, but just in case, even if he signed a related non-disclosure agreement with Samsung.

"Sure enough, you shouldn't have given Liang Mengsong to you. Find Jiang Shangyi as a substitute. There is also a gap between the Six Knights of TSMC."

Li Fuzhen was very helpless.

"From what you're saying, Jiang Shangyi isn't doing well in Samsung?" The corners of Lu Fei's mouth rose slightly.

"Jiang Shangyi and Liang Mengsong follow completely different routes. Liang Mengsong supports 'advanced manufacturing process', while Jiang Shangyi insists on 'advanced packaging'. The two routes are completely different."

Li Fuzhen didn't hide it either.

In the traditional packaging concept, it has always been "seal first and then fight", but Jiang Shangyi thinks that instead of risking increasing the density of leads, it is better to package two chips on one silicon chip, because the physical distance is close, and the delay problem in electrical signal transmission It has been improved, and the disadvantages caused by metal materials have also been easily solved.

That is to say, it has changed to "fight first and then seal".

"This idea is technically bold, but its feasibility needs to be studied." Lu Fei was amazed.

"Your opinion is exactly the same as that of my elder brother, but I think what Jiang Shangyi said is not unreasonable."

"Why? Compared with the performance improvement brought by the manufacturing process, the performance improvement brought about by investing in 'advanced packaging' is too low in cost performance."

"Yes, this is a very normal thinking inertia, but if you think about it, what if Moore's Law fails? If the unit manufacturing cost of transistors does not fall but rises, the cost-effectiveness of process upgrades to improve performance begins to decrease? Can 'advanced packaging' reduce More costs to increase the added value of the packaging and testing process?"

Li Fuzhen made an analysis: "It can also win more large packaging orders, which is equivalent to reducing the cost of advanced manufacturing processes in disguise."

"It doesn't seem unreasonable."

Lu Fei kept it in mind, and was going to discuss the feasibility of advanced packaging with Hu Zhengming, Liang Mengsong, Zhang Rujing and others.

"It's only you who say that. It's useless for me to say these things at Samsung. If I support anything, my elder brother will definitely oppose it. What's more, he is against Jiang Shangyi's technical route."

Li Fuzhen's words were full of envy, "Now that you have succeeded here, the eldest brother regrets letting Liang Mengsong go and reuse Jiang Shangyi. Not surprisingly, Jiang Shangyi will be 'optimized' in a short time."

"How was your time at Samsung?"

Lu Fei took his mobile phone and walked into the bedroom.

"He and I can only keep one, you have to be careful, he will never let you go, YMTC has prevented Samsung from 'powering off the fire', ruining his plan to dominate the memory market, and now it is breaking through earlier than Samsung The 40/45nm process will definitely think of various ways to deal with you, and it will create opportunities if there is no opportunity."

Li Fuzhen revealed a trace of worry.

"I will pay attention, I still say the same thing, people don't attack me, I will not attack, if people attack me, I will attack!"

Lu Fei and Li Fuzhen chatted for a while, then put down the phone.

"Finished talking?"

Ivanka, who came out of the bathroom, was wearing Victoria's Secret underwear, and took a catwalk towards him, "My dad has already contacted Rosemary you recommended, is there really no problem?"

"She's professional."

Lu Fei shrugged, "Just as professional as you are to me."

"I'll be more professional on Valentine's Day."

Ivanka licked her lips: "Do you want to try?"

Although Lu Fei was tempted, February 2 was the first day of bidding for Nortel Networks, so he hesitated and refused: "I think we can try in advance." He said and pulled her into his arms.

"You don't go to the Kama scene."

Ivanka muttered: "It can be remotely controlled."

Lu Fei patted her butt, and changed the topic to "Iron Man 2", which has already reached the post-production special effects stage, and it will be released in the summer as soon as possible, in conjunction with the launch of logicX3.

"When the time comes, you'd better come to the premiere."

"why?"

"Uh...if you still want to buy Marvel."

Ivanka explained that after "Captain America", Marvel's second super-British movie, "The Incredible Hulk", screwed up again, costing $1.5 million, but the final box office was only $2.6 million.

He lost a lot of money!

It also proves once again that Marvel Pictures does not have the ability to film and has a disease of filming, and is completely incompetent for the Marvel Universe project.

"You want me to talk about it then?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "Is this necessary?"

"There is no need for this. The box office of "Iron Man 2" will let Marvel understand that no one knows how to make a big-money Marvel movie better than us. You just need to show up and stand for me. Everything is up to Me, you will be able to sign the acquisition contract soon."

Ivanka smiled and untied the tie of his nightgown.

"It's us."

Just as Lu Fei said that, the phone on the table vibrated.

Seeing him pick up the phone, Ivanka bent down tacitly, but was forced to hold her head by a big hand, unable to move.

"Shh!"

Lu Fei glanced at the calling number, and his body shook. (end of this chapter)
