Rebirth: Fight For Life

   Chapter 289 Yanjing VS Huhai, high-end chip competition

   Here, the semiconductor process laboratory of the Flint Research Institute is under construction.

   At this moment, Chen Tui, director of the Chip and System Research Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, closed the door of his office and locked it.

   On the table is an unopened box.

  Chen Tui knew what was inside.

   For this thing, he has been waiting for two months.

  Chen Tui looked at the box as if it was a Pandora's box.

   Up to now, he can still stop and stop moving forward.

   But since Chen Tui has already thought about it, he will no longer hesitate.

   He opened the box and looked at the 10 chips neatly placed in front of him with a calm face.

   He took out one of the chips and placed it lightly on the flannel.

   This is a very delicate chip, with 144 feet arranged neatly. On the vinyl, the logo of freescale and the words DSP56858 are printed.

   He gently opened the drawer, took out a piece of rough sandpaper from it, and lightly sanded these words with concentration.

   His movements are very focused, not daring to damage a stitch. The strength of his polishing is also very gentle, just like this, down to the ground, gradually polishing the current words.

   It took more than half an hour, and his arms and wrists were already very sore from the constant focus control.

   is very hard, very focused, and very gentle.

   But in the end, the words on the chip were no longer clear.

   He released the chip alone and put it carefully into the safe in the office.

  The office returned to tranquility. He sat quietly on the chair, closed his eyes, turned his wrists slightly, and relaxed his body.

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

  Chen Tui responded with a sound like he had just woken up, then rubbed his eyes with his hands and went over to open the door.

   "Director Chen, are you taking a nap?"

  Chen Tui patted his face: "It's okay, you say, what's new?"

   "Deputy Director Jia asked me to come to you, saying that the verification is almost complete, and asked how you are preparing for the tapeout, packaging and testing."

   Chen Tui nodded: "I will tell him about this in the afternoon, and you should do your own work first."

"OK!"

   It was only a very young master student who came over to spread the word, fighting in the laboratory. Although he didn't know what the small piece of work he did had for chip development, he was very excited.

   And now the research and development work is coming to an end. I heard from other brothers and mentors that the next step is tape-out and system development, so that the chip can play a real role.

   Deputy Director Jia, who is in charge of integrated circuit design, and Deputy Director Nie, who is in charge of system development, are both experts brought in by Director Chen through his contacts abroad. Although it has only been a few months since entering the research center, it has already played a huge role in advancing the development of the chip.

  Without the three of them, the entire Huaxin project would have to follow the original plan, spending two full years to work hard, study and research first.

   Now, only one year has passed, and the project has made great progress.

  Master students feel that their future is very bright, staying in such a cutting-edge research center, still worrying about papers? Still worried about your degree? Still worried about teaching?

  Chen Tui watched the master student leave excitedly, showing his usual gentle smile.

   When passing by the laboratory, he talked to everyone and cheered.

   In the eyes of ordinary R&D personnel in the research center, Chen Tui is a very ambitious and very motivated pragmatic leader.

  Since Chen Tui came to Jiaotong University to take charge of the Huaxin project, he devoted himself to research and development for four months, and completed the writing of the source code. Because of this, the current lab-on-a-chip merged with the system lab to establish a chip and system research center.

Since the establishment of the    Research Center, especially after the completion of the planning and the introduction of two deputy directors in June, the progress has been very smooth, exceeding everyone's expectations.

  Chen Tui naturally received more respect.

   He left the research center all the way and walked to the office of the director of the Department of Computer Science, Xie Danqi.

   knocked on the door of the office, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."

  Chen retreated into the door and said with a smile, "Director Xie, I'll report the progress to you."

   Xie Dan was young and strong. Although he had a slightly sloping roof, he was very energetic. He stood up from behind the desk, asked Chen Tui to sit on the sofa, and asked in surprise, "Is there any new progress?"

   Chen Tui said: "Yes, after several months of hard work by more than 30 R&D personnel, the verification of the chip is almost completed. In order to buy time, it is time to contact the tape-out and packaging and testing units."

   Xie Danchu was overjoyed and asked directly: "You must have thought about it, talk about it, how to do it?"

Chen Tui said humbly: "For the sake of safety, I want to go with the two plans. The first plan, of course, is purely domestic and designed by the three most powerful companies in Huhai, Huaxin International, Huhai Weiyu and Huhai IC. The research center is responsible for tape-out, packaging and testing respectively. But in addition, I also want to find a powerful company abroad to do it, to ensure that the tape-out can be successful at the first time."

"Of course, it will cost more money. However, if our chip can be successfully taped out, it means that we have reached a world-class level in high-end DSP chips. Huaxin International, after all, has just Not long after it was put into production, the craftsmanship was nearly a decade behind the world's top level."

Xie Dan nodded heavily: "You are right, as long as the chip is independently developed by us, even if it is successfully taped abroad, it will not change the fact that it is a domestic chip! Of course, if Huaxin International also has If this strength is made, it will be even better, the root is right and the seedling is red!"

   Chen Tui smiled and said, "Thank you, Director, for your understanding. In that case, I'll contact you first."

  Xie Danchu took his hand and said with emotion: "Xiao Chen, you have worked hard for you. If you need my assistance, just speak up!"

  Chen Tui said a few words of greetings, and then left in a hurry.

   Looking at the back of him leaving, Xie Danchu was in a good mood.

   Last year, I saw Chen Tui at a friend's house, and the two had a conversation. Only then did Xie Danchu realize that this was the talent he had always dreamed of.

  Study in the United States, Ph.D. in computer engineering.

  Served as senior chief engineer and chip design manager at Motorola Semiconductor Headquarters, and has presided over the new product development and project management of a number of SOC system integration chips.

  Returning to China, I am looking for suitable opportunities to carry out research on domestic chips, so as to realize my heart of serving the country.

   Xie Danjiu immediately decided to bring Chen Tui into the department.

The department needs to expand its team to promote related projects in the integrated circuit.

   At that time, there was only such a simple hope, but I didn't expect that Chen Tui's ability was really so strong.

   Some of the original topics were pushed and broken by him. The Huaxin project was approved, the source code was completed, and the chip planning was completed... Step by step, it has come to the present.

   Xie Danchu couldn’t help but imagine, is it possible to complete this project next year?

   Thinking of Academician Huang who just won the highest National Science and Technology Award last year, Xie Dancui's heart warmed.

   I have been busy with work in the last few days, and the update time cannot be as fixed as before, please forgive me. Try to maintain three shifts a day, and keep two shifts at the bottom. Need old irons recommended tickets!
