Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 70: Communication Patent in Hand!

However, to ensure technical security, he still quickly browsed through a few files.

[28nm HKMG Process Specifications]

Optical Design for Immersion Lithography Machines

[Atomic Layer Deposition Equipment Technical Solution]

[Chip Yield Testing and Optimization]

Each piece of technical information was incredibly detailed, clearly a complete set copied from somewhere, and it's unclear whether patent fees were paid to the other party.

However, upon seeing the engineer, he immediately realized that it was probably another unlucky little guy from a parallel world who had been wiped out.

But this did not diminish Shen Fei's excitement, after all, he was the beneficiary.

With these, Transsion could have built China's first 28nm production line in 2009, which would also have been the world's first.

At that time, not only will mobile phone chips be self-sufficient, but it will also drive other industries.

But after calming down a bit, he realized a problem: with only one set of equipment, he still couldn't compete with them; he still needed to develop his own lithography machine.

However, lithography machine manufacturing is a capital-intensive, technology-intensive, and talent-intensive industry.

It takes at least several years for a lithography machine to go from research and development to sale, plus an investment of tens of billions of dollars.

There were very few buyers, making it a completely unprofitable business.

Huaxin Investment made tens of billions during the financial crisis, but it's a huge loss to invest all that money in optical technology research and development.

"Looks like... I'll have to find a sucker." Shen Fei said in a low voice, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

He thought of his future father-in-law, who had just left. If there was support from above, coupled with the dedication of companies like Huawei, perhaps…

Just then, my phone rang. It was Huang Tianya calling.

"President Shen, I have something to report." Huang Tianya's tone suddenly turned serious.

"The preparatory group of the National Integrated Circuit Investment Fund contacted us, saying they wanted to invite us to work together to first formulate investment targets, which must be completed before October and launched before 2010."

Shen Fei was stunned for a moment. He had heard of this name before, and he had even received the corresponding subsidies in his previous life.

The National Integrated Circuit Investment Fund is a support plan formulated by the central government. Its core objective is to break through technological bottlenecks, enhance industrial competitiveness, and ultimately achieve self-reliance and control over the semiconductor industry.

Each phase operates on a 5-year investment and 5-year payback period model.

However, the semiconductor industry investment fund in the previous life began its planning in June 2014 and was officially established in September...

Why was it brought forward so much this time? Could it be because of a technological breakthrough in sound transmission that led the higher-ups to pay attention to semiconductors earlier?

Or perhaps Huang Tianya's constant actions in the United States attracted the attention of higher authorities, allowing him to make some money in the process.

Shen Fei thought about it more and more and it seemed very likely. With such a large influx of funds, it would be strange if it weren't being monitored.

But no matter what, this is a good thing.

"Let's set a time, the sooner the better."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei walked to the world map in front of his office.

His fingers traced a path from Guangzhou, across Southeast Asia, through Africa, and finally settled in Europe and America. In his past life, China's chip industry was hampered, Huawei was sanctioned, and countless other companies were subject to foreign control.

This time, the script has to be rewritten; 28nm is just the beginning. There's 14nm, 7nm, and 5nm to come.

Thinking about all this, Shen Fei prepared to continue his work, but suddenly he remembered that there seemed to be a high-tech blind box, so he quickly opened it.

With a flashing animation, the system's voice sounded once again.

[Ding. Congratulations, host, for opening the high-tech blind box and receiving a gold reward: a 4G communication patent package (approximately 8% of valid 4G patents and 12% of core patents).]

After distributing the rewards, the system disappeared again.

Faced with this impressive system, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation was once again stunned. 8% of its patents were valid for 4G, and 12% were core patents. This already made it a top-tier telecommunications company…

As expected of a human trafficking system, they're really extravagant when it comes to robbing people.

…………

June arrived quickly.

Guangzhou, Transsion Semiconductor Laboratory.

Besides Li Jiahui, the person in charge, there are many foreigners in the laboratory, and these people make up the main force of research and development, but everyone is still carrying out research and development work in an orderly manner.

At this moment, these American or European researchers are filled with regret.

If they had known that China had such good conditions, especially with so much delicious food, they shouldn't have hesitated back then.

After all, they had been laid off due to the economic crisis. They came to China because of the high salaries promised by Huang Tianya, but they were worried about whether their wages would be paid on time.

But after arriving, they realized how miserable their previous lives had been; it wasn't even eating, it was just filling their stomachs.

As long as there's delicious food, I don't mind not getting paid; please understand.

But today, everyone is gathered around a testing device, demonstrating their professionalism.

At the center of the device is a chip the size of a fingernail.

It doesn't look particularly special, and it can't compare to MediaTek's chips at all, but everyone knows what this chip means.

"Voltage is normal."

"Current current is normal"

"Start loading the test program."

The engineer in charge of the operation remained remarkably calm, his voice devoid of any excitement, and his hands were steady. After all, it was just a small chip.

The progress bar on the screen begins to slowly move 10%...30%...50%...

This is the Taishan PM100, Transsion's first self-developed power management chip. It integrates three major functions: fast charging control, power management, and power consumption optimization, and is designed and manufactured using a 65-nanometer process.

The fast charging chip may seem ordinary, but with it, Transsion can better launch fast charging functions.

The progress bar quickly reached 100%.

"Test passed?"

The blond foreigner who was originally in charge of the operation also shouted out loud. It wasn't that he wasn't worried, but... he forcibly suppressed his worries.

As the test report came out, an engineer nearby quickly approached and read out the results: "All functions are normal. Efficiency is as high as 98.7%, which is 1.7 percentage points higher than the design target."

We succeeded.

Cheers erupted in the laboratory, and Chenghai and Liu Zhihong, who had come to visit, shook hands excitedly.

Shen Fei watched everything silently from behind. The small chip had been acquired.

Sure enough, as long as you're willing to invest money, these small chips are easy to get your hands on. It seems that the first single-core chip by the end of the year shouldn't be a problem.

"President Shen, it's done." Li Jiahui ran over, holding the chip in his hands.

"Successful tape-out on the first try, with a yield rate as high as 97%."

This yield rate is simply a miracle.

Shen Fei took the chip and looked at it under the light. Although he couldn't see anything with the naked eye, he knew that it contained a dense array of transistors, arranged very closely, and the design was perfect. Otherwise, the yield rate would not have been achieved.

"Are you preparing for mass production?" he asked.

"We are currently working with Taikun Electronics, and they have agreed to do the manufacturing. They have ample 65nm capacity, with a minimum monthly capacity of 10 wafers."

Li Jiahui gave a report.

"In terms of cost, it may be a bit more expensive at the beginning, with the cost per chip being about eight and a half yuan. Since there is no substitute for fast charging chips, this price... cannot be compared."

But I can guarantee that our costs will be lower than theirs…”
