Chapter 214: Domestic 7nm Kirin Chip Is Born

Xia Wei finally accepted Ma Tian's proposal and let Nie Zhenyuan and others in Xiangshi take a holiday with Tianyu Xinghai.

It's funny to say that Nie Zhenyuan and others enjoyed the blessing of Tianyu Xinghai this time, and it was the first time for them to take a 10-day holiday during the Chinese New Year.

You know, the employees at their headquarters still take 7 days or even less according to the statutory holidays. Some old friends at their headquarters also sent WeChat to ask if it was true.

After confirming that it was true, they immediately fell silent...

Not to mention Xia Wei, Ma Tian also spent a happy Chinese New Year.

The reason is that this year is different from the previous years. Even if he went to Li Runqi's house for the Chinese New Year, he was nameless and had a sense of strangeness. This year, he was with the identity of a boyfriend.

Li Runqi's parents were still very happy. Their daughter finally got married. They supported her.

The 10-day holiday passed in a flash. On the sixth day after the Chinese New Year, Tianyu Xinghai had to start working again.

Nie Zhenyuan and his group of Xia Wei people also arrived early and started working seriously. They had to live up to the 10-day long vacation. If they didn't work seriously, they would feel guilty.

Ren Zhenfei called Ma Tian early in the morning, saying that he was wishing a happy new year, but he was actually worried about the progress of the chip.

Ma Tian understood why Xia Wei had such a wolf culture, and it turned out to come from this.

However, Ren Zhenfei paid enough money, unlike some companies that did it for free without paying, so Ma Tian didn't complain.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Tian went directly into the laboratory and put up a sign of seclusion.

From time to time, the outside world continued to hype the fact that Xia Wei had no chips, and there were many promoters and undercurrents.

After all, when it comes to a behemoth like Xia Wei, there are too many things involved.

For example, the stock market can make 18 kinds of things based on this news, saying that Xia Wei is looking for domestic alternatives, and restrictions are actually good for some domestic companies.

Therefore, some semiconductor stocks that were substituted by domestic products had a small bull market...

The superiors often talked to Xia Wei and asked about the situation.

Foreign media also circulated some small articles from time to time, spreading some vague news.

In short, the outside world was very uneasy.

March passed in a flash, and it was mid-May.

On this day, Ma Tian was also in the photolithography workshop with Wang Xinghua for the final verification.

In mask manufacturing, Ma Tian optimized the process, making laser direct writing more accurate and avoiding the influence of light-induced duality.

The machine was roaring, but Wang Xinghua and other staff members were worried. Although this was not the first test, every test would make them worried.

Because once successful, it means the production of domestic 7nm photolithography machines, and domestic semiconductor technology will officially rank among the world's top and get rid of restrictions. How can this not make them worried?

After a while, the silicon wafer came out of the photolithography machine, entered the glue coating, baking, and developing machine, and finally observed the photolithography accuracy under an atomic microscope.

"7nm!" The engineer in front of the screen shouted excitedly.

A breakthrough, a real breakthrough!

The whole place suddenly turned into a sea of ​​cheers. Even though they were mature engineers, they couldn't suppress their excitement at this moment.

Ma Tian also smiled. The three months of research were not in vain. The breakthrough in mask manufacturing was feasible. This was a valuable attempt.

Now we just need to take the Kirin chip-7 designed by Xia Wei and actually produce it.

"Wang Xinghua, after the excitement, go directly to the Kirin chip circuit diagram!" Ma Tian ordered.

Only when the real chip comes out, can they win in the end.

"Okay, Mr. Ma!" Wang Xinghua quickly directed the staff to return to their positions and start directly operating the Kirin chip.

Half an hour later, the first truly domestically produced 7nm Kirin-7 chip appeared in Ma Tian's hands.

It is only the size of a fingernail, but it integrates 5.5 billion transistors, including an 8-core CPU, dual ISP, 1.2Gbps high-speed LTE Cat.18 Modem and an innovative HiAI mobile computing architecture.

In chip design, Xia Wei HiSilicon is not inferior to any foreign company.

Ma Tian took the chip out of the lithography department, took the subway and came to Tianyu Xinghai Building.

Finally, he took the elevator and came directly to Xia Wei's floor in Tianyu Xinghai, and handed the 7nm Kirin-7 chip in his hand to Nie Zhenyuan.

"Mr. Ma, what is this?" Nie Zhenyuan's eyes were shining, he had guesses but didn't dare to believe it.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Ma Tian only answered four words.

Nie Zhenyuan's left hand, which did not hold the chip, clenched suddenly, and he was extremely excited.

"Mr. Ma, is it really out?"

"Go down and try it!" Ma Tian nodded and said with a smile. He could only give a 99% answer now. Whether it was really successful or not depends on the situation of the circuit board experiment.

"Mr. Ma, I'm going down to experiment, you wait for my results!" After that, Nie Zhenyuan ran directly to the hardware side and was about to solder the chip on the circuit board.

Looking at Nie Zhenyuan's figure running out in a hurry, Ma Tian didn't care about his impoliteness. He sat in his seat happily, playing with his mobile phone, waiting for him to come back and reply.

Nie Zhenyuan hurried over to the hardware department and called over the most skilled hardware engineer, asking him to personally solder the chip that Ma Tian had just handed him onto the board.

Then he hurried to the driver team and asked the driver engineer to start burning the image software.

Three minutes later, the image was burned, and the TV HDMI cable and power cord were connected to start the machine.

Watching Xia Wei's mobile phone logo displayed on the TV, and the serial port printing was normal without error.

Suddenly, the whole floor was filled with his "Ouhou" voice.

The employees working on the side were also staring at their boss in a daze, wondering why he was so excited.

Then after hearing Nie Zhenyuan explain that this was a 7nm chip made by Tianyu Xinghai, the whole floor was filled with "Ouhou" and "Niubi" sounds.

Such a loud sound made Ma Tian stop playing with his mobile phone in the cubicle. He had a faint smile on his face, and he guessed that it should be successful.

As he expected, the sound of "Da Da" footsteps came soon, and it was Nie Zhenyuan who ran back.

"Mr. Ma, it's successful. We just successfully burned the software into the chip and started the machine successfully!" Nie Zhenyuan still had tears in the corners of his eyes. Obviously, he was too excited just now, and tears flowed out.

Ma Tian saw the tearful expression offline.

"Get ready for the experiment, Tiannan Chip Technology is waiting for your large orders!" Ma Tian patted his shoulder and turned away.

He had made another breakthrough in domestic technology, and Ma Tian was very happy.

However, he didn't like the scene of too much noise and collective carnival, so he went back to his office and had fun alone.

Ma Tian's back was like a swordsman who had solved a big villain and was well-known for his merits, which made Nie Zhenyuan look at him for a long time.
