Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Xu Yun continued to wait in the office for more than ten minutes. Liu Xing walked in with three people, and after explaining the situation, he turned around and left, leaving the person from Huawei Technologies to talk to him alone.

He raised his gaze and looked up. He saw that the other party was composed of two men and one woman.

The leading man had a Chinese character face, and he was estimated to be at most forty years old, which made people feel quite decent.

The other two were obviously assistants.

directly ignored by him.

"I don't know what Mr. Zhang wanted from me, but he came here on purpose." Xu Yun took the initiative to ask the other party, wanting to find out Huawei's purpose first.

Just now Liu Xing has helped to give a brief introduction.

He knew that the man with a square face in front of him was Huawei's technical director.

Zhang Tao did not choose to answer the question immediately. A professional smile in a shopping mall appeared on his face, and he sincerely expressed his apology: "I am very sorry, Professor Xu, for disturbing your work today. I hope this will not cause too much trouble to you." Troubled.”

"Since this is the case, there is no need to say these polite words. I don't have much free time."

Hearing the meaning of Xu Yun's words, Zhang Tao suddenly realized something, and did not dare to hesitate to express his intention in the next second.

"Professor Xu, in fact, we established an EDA software development project a long time ago. Although there is still a gap compared with the new Scaden software, this gap is narrowing."

At this point, Zhang Tao paused for a moment, but there was a hint of pride in his expression.

Xu Yun frowned slightly and asked, "So what does this have to do with you looking for me?"

"The current global semiconductor industry is surging, which is a huge hidden danger for us." Zhang Tao gradually entered the state and explained in detail.

"If the domestic EDA still maintains the current development speed, it will be difficult to go online in a short time to meet the needs of the industry, so our chairman wants to use your company's artificial intelligence model to speed up software development."

Hearing all the other party's words into his ears, Xu Yun secretly thought in his heart.

When he first came to Jincheng, Hou Shengchang told him about EDA and made it clear that a company was already developing it.

Unexpectedly, it was Warwick.

However, the other party thought of speeding up the development speed through stupidity, which surprised him.

It can be seen that they also have great research in the field of artificial intelligence.

Of course, Xu Yun didn't let go directly, but watched Zhang Tao ask a question.

"With the current functions of our intelligent model, although intelligent programming can be performed, the effect may be limited in large projects. Why do you think it can increase the development speed?"

"Benben's version update speed is obvious to all, I think it has reached version 3.0 now." Zhang Tao tentatively replied.

Xu Yun was thoughtful when he heard this sentence.

Zhang Tao's guess was good.

Although Benben's permission to the outside world is still version 2.0, it has actually been upgraded to version 3.0 internally, otherwise it would not help him to view all the information of the lithography machine project in the institute so quickly.

At least judging from his experience, Benben can indeed improve the speed and even functionality of software development.

Although the growth progress has slowed down a lot after iterating to version 3.0, it is still at the leading level in the world.

enough for current use.

From the perspective of the long-term situation, the launch of domestic EDA industrial software is urgent.

At the same time, it is also an important part of the high-end chip manufacturing process.

Based on these two points alone, there is really no reason to refuse.

What's more, he has a good impression of this technology company that can be sold globally.

While he was thinking about the solution, Zhang Tao, who was standing opposite him, gradually couldn't hold himself in any longer, and a nervous expression began to appear on his face.

It seems that he is worried that today's negotiation will fail and this trip will be in vain.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more anxious, Zhang Tao shouted again: "If your company cooperates with us, Deepin Technology can obtain part of Yinglong EDA's sales share. I can guarantee that this will be a win-win cooperation."

"Sales share?" Xu Yun was a little surprised when he heard that.

According to the information he has so far, the Yinglong EDA industrial software project mentioned by the other party should have been going on for a long time, and it is not the kind of garbage that has not been on the table. Open some of the permissions of the stupid version 3.0 to them, and they can get Share of software sales.

It is indeed a very cost-effective cooperation.

Not easy to say no.

Industrial software like EDA mainly adopts a paid operation mode.

Although it is not yet able to compete with Xinsi Keden, when the domestic high-end chip manufacturing industry chain is completed, the cake it will bring cannot be underestimated.

Speaking of this, if you refuse, it will appear that the situation is too small.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun didn't continue to play tricks, and immediately opened his mouth to make a decision to settle the matter.

"I agree about the cooperation, and I will arrange for the head of the artificial intelligence laboratory under the company to connect with you."

"You can discuss the details of the follow-up situation by yourself."

"Great, thank you, Professor Xu, for giving us this opportunity." Zhang Tao had a visible smile on his face when he heard the answer he wanted.

In fact, it was he who proposed to speed up software development with the help of Deepin Technology's artificial intelligence model. Although he was questioned by the company's senior management and thought it was taken for granted, he finally succeeded in persuading the chairman and rushed to Jincheng to discuss cooperate.

Originally, he was not 100% sure, so he was relieved when Xu Yun agreed.

But after being relaxed and excited, he was more secretly happy.

The reason why the company's senior management questioned was that they believed that the auxiliary development of complex industrial software could not be realized only with the functions of Benben 2.0 version.

After careful research, he felt that Benben should have grown to version 3.0 according to the previous update iteration speed.

It can play an auxiliary development role.

It’s just that deepin technology has not opened up corresponding permissions to the outside world.

This matter is easy to understand. After all, rashly opening a powerful artificial intelligence model to everyone for free will bring a lot of chaos to society before the corresponding system is released.

They would make the same choice if they developed this artificial intelligence model that leads many versions of the world.

Facts have proved that his guess is very correct, Xu Yun did not deny the existence of version 3.0.

Especially since this cooperation can be agreed, it shows that the artificial intelligence model updated to the latest version can indeed play an auxiliary role in large-scale software development projects.

After calming down his mood a little, Zhang Tao said again: "Then let's not disturb Professor Xu's work. I believe that Professor Xu will definitely be able to develop a domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machine." Finally, he did not forget to express himself to Xu Yun true inner thoughts.

If the domestic high-end chip manufacturing industry chain is not solved, even if you develop your own EDA software, it will be difficult to develop.

Xu Yun knew this very well. Hearing this, he gave him a smile, nodded and watched the other party leave.

Soon after he was the only one left in the office, Benben sent a notice to the artificial intelligence laboratory.

Leave this matter to Yan Kaiming to take charge of the docking.

"Now the software is considered to be fully guaranteed, and the next step is to go all out to conquer the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine."

After finishing, Xu Yun stood in the office and said with a slightly emotional tone, and then his eyes became more determined.

Originally, he was still a little worried about the quality of domestic industrial software, and he was afraid that the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine would be hindered by then, but now that he has Benben's assistance, the idea suddenly disappeared.

Thinking of Benben's performance in the past two days, even he couldn't help but want to praise him highly.

After Zhang Tao got the results he wanted, he naturally took the nearest flight with his two assistants back to Shenzhen to report to the company.

Then they can lead the team to Jingzhou Deepin Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

On the way back, he didn't hide the joy on his face at all.

Naturally, Xu Yun was not very clear about Zhang Tao's performance because he was holding the second project meeting.

In the project seminar room, Xu Yun sat on the central seat in the middle with a plan in mind.

Researchers such as Luo Changhui and Yang Jing are located on both sides, as well as research assistants with postdoctoral status.

As soon as possible, the seminar room fell into silence at this moment, but if you observe carefully, you will find suspicion on everyone's faces, curious about the purpose of Xu Yun's sudden project meeting.

In their minds, Xu Yun should spend all his time checking project information at this time.

While thinking about it, question marks gradually appeared in my mind?
"Could it be that Professor Xu has figured it out and plans to study the lithography machine first?"

"That's good news."

"I have long said that those materials are too cumbersome and cumbersome, and they will naturally be given up after a while."

Just as he was thinking about listening to Luo Changhui on his right, he took the initiative to ask: "Professor Xu suddenly called us over today. Did he encounter any problems with the project materials?"

"That's not true." Xu Yun looked at Luo Changhui and shook his head.

After answering, go on to the following.

"Let everyone come here today, mainly to announce things. I plan to start solving the technical problems faced by the project from tomorrow."

As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and when Xu Yun said that he would start to solve technical problems tomorrow, the originally dull atmosphere disappeared instantly and was occupied by the atmosphere of violent fluctuations in active emotions.

Several researchers seemed to have their chat boxes opened, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

"It's right to start the project early. The data technology in the institute is already very backward, and it's not of much value in the first place."

"Fortunately, Professor Xu figured it out in time, otherwise I don't know how much time would have been wasted."

"What to do next, Professor Xu, just arrange it."

Listening to the words of the researcher beside him, Xu Yun was a little confused, but soon he understood what was going on.

Feel a little dumbfounded.

Dare to believe that everyone thought that he gave up checking all the materials halfway, but he didn't know that he had already read this stuff.

Faced with this situation, he immediately explained: "I have read all the materials about the previous lithography machine project."

Although I was as calm as possible when I said this sentence, but it was no less than thunder in the ears of others.

Everyone exploded in an instant.

"I've seen them all, how is this possible?"

"I finished reading it in two days. According to the normal situation, there are so many materials, even if I don't eat or drink, it will take ten and a half months."

"It's incredible."

……

"As I said before, I'm still relatively fast in terms of seeing things."

Xu Yun added a few words in embarrassment.

But this still makes everyone feel complicated, and they don't know how to describe this feeling.

I thought to myself that this was simply faster, it was simply too fast.

After about three or four seconds, Yang Jing could not help but say: "It seems that we have greatly underestimated Professor Xu's talent."

In the end, it was Luo Changhui who spoke out to resolve the awkward atmosphere and get the topic back on track.

"All right."

"Professor Xu can show such a powerful talent, we should all be happy."

"It is in this way that there is more hope to solve the problem of lithography machines."

After he finished speaking and saw that everyone was deeply concerned, he turned around and focused his attention on Xu Yun again and asked a question.

"Professor Xu."

"I don't know which problem you plan to solve first?"

After speaking, not only Luo Changhui, but also everyone else present immediately focused their attention on Xu Yun and waited quietly for the answer.

After spending two days reading the institute's lithography machine project information, Xu Yun knew the main problems faced by domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which were mainly divided into light sources, masks, and projection optical systems.

The extreme ultraviolet light emitted by the light source of extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is extremely easy to be absorbed by substances.

After the light beam has been reflected multiple times, less than 2% of the light can be used.

The energy conversion rate is extremely low.

Therefore, a powerful light source is needed to ensure that the ray light source is strong enough.

In addition, the wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light is 13.5nm. Since it is easily absorbed by materials such as lens glass, it will also be attracted by air and gas, affecting the refractive index change.

The cavity requires a vacuum system.

The projection optical system must use reflectors instead of lenses, which requires high precision and expensive manufacturing costs.

In terms of masks, due to the particularity of extreme ultraviolet light, ordinary masks are very easy to damage, which requires the development of special masks.

It can be said that each of these issues requires a large amount of long-term research by the institute.

And it may not necessarily be fruitful yet.

It can be seen that it is difficult to manufacture the entire extreme ultraviolet high-end lithography machine.

It is no wonder that the overseas semiconductor field is confident and not worried that they can realize the localization of the high-end chip manufacturing industry chain.

Fortunately, the problem of high-end photoresist has been solved, otherwise it would be equivalent to increasing the difficulty.

After Xu Yun figured this out, he naturally had a direction. At this time, he didn't hide anything when faced with Luo Changhui's inquiry, and he generously told his next plan.

"I plan to solve the light source problem first."

The researchers present knew very well that these problems had to be solved, and it didn't make much difference which one to focus on first.

Naturally, he would not question Xu Yun's decision.

On the contrary, after hearing this answer, they all nodded in agreement.

"The light source is indeed a very important issue. The extreme ultraviolet light source that we can manufacture now cannot meet the requirements at all in terms of power."

"I have no opinion."

"I also support Professor Xu's decision."

Xu Yun is very satisfied with everyone's performance, but it would be a big mistake to think that he can only do this.

Before everyone recovered, he dropped another blockbuster.

"I will come up with the design plan for the light source in a while. In addition, I will also complete the optical system and mask plan in the future. At that time, I will ask everyone to work together to complete the photolithography machine."

If it is said that everyone was just surprised and surprised that Xu Yun read all the materials in a short time.

Then after hearing this sentence at this moment, his expression became stiff in an instant, and he was completely in a state of confusion.

The pupils constricted suddenly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

It was enough to come up with the light source design plan in a short time, and he even said that there would be no shortage of masks and optical systems. The key point seemed to be that Xu Yun wanted to complete the plan independently.

Even Xu Yun has extremely high talent and has created many miracles to promote industry changes.

They couldn't imagine this possibility.

As an old member of the lithography machine project, no one knows the difficulty better than them.

It can only be said that Xu Yun's words are not like a person who is going to develop a lithography machine, but has mastered all the technologies.

Bring the relevant design proposal directly from the mind to them to complete.

But this is obviously impossible.

However, Xu Yun's tone was full of confidence, and he looked confident.

It is really difficult for them to judge the specific situation.

A long silence spread in the room, making the atmosphere seem weird.

As for Liu Xing and others who are post-doctoral research assistants, they are even more arrogant at the moment.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Luo Changhui was the first to calm down. He asked Xu Yun with an extremely solemn face: "These are all core issues in extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Are Professor Xu really sure that he can complete the plan?" There was a little expectation hidden in his eyes.

"There should be no problem." Xu Yun nodded seriously.

These problems are really difficult for the research institute to solve, but he has the brain overclocking to come up with the optimal solution.

It may be more stable in all aspects than overseas lithography machines.

So there is still some confidence.

Luo Changhui received Xu Yun's repeated confirmation and finally no longer concealed the joy on his face.

Subconsciously holding Xu Yun's hand tightly, he quickly expressed his stance: "I believe you."

Although others were still suspicious after seeing this scene, after thinking about it carefully, they had no other choice but to believe Xu Yun.

Whether we can come up with a feasible solution can only be known after experiments.

But there is no doubt that if Xu Yun does what he says, domestic extreme ultraviolet lithography machines will surely make rapid progress, and the previous decline in the field of semiconductor materials will be wiped out.

But should I say it or not, Xu Yun did give them too many surprises today.

In the following time, after Xu Yun made corresponding arrangements, he announced the end of this short but shocking meeting.

What followed was research on the feasibility of light sources.

……

At the same time, on the Shenzhen side, Zhang Tao and the company reported the negotiation results of the trip to Jincheng, and immediately set off for the Jingzhou Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to complete the relevant docking.

After returning to the company's headquarters in Shenzhen, it also marks the official start of the actual verification experiment using the artificial intelligence model to assist in the development of domestic EDA industrial software methods.

If the final performance does not meet expectations, then it means that this method will not work at all.

At that time, Zhang Tao, who is the proposer, will definitely face part of the responsibility of the company.

After all, he was the one who fought against all odds to get this project passed.

He came to the software development office area on time at nine o'clock in the morning. Compared with the technical engineer sitting in front of the computer, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
