Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Liu Jingying was still immersed in this joy at the moment, seeing that Xu Yun's face did not change, she felt ashamed of this calm expression and quickly calmed herself down.

Of course, everyone's discussion on this topic is still going on, and they are amazed at Xu Yun's talent in the field of material research and development.

"Professor Xu."

"You should already know the purpose of the material you developed, you just want to create a surprise by asking me to test it?"

At this time Liu Jingying spoke again, with a complicated smile on the corner of her mouth, telling her previous speculation.

The high-end photoresist synthesis technology has been monopolized by Neon, and they almost occupy most of the high-end photoresist market in the world.

It has become the most indispensable part of the chip manufacturing process.

Other companies' research on photoresist has never stopped, but they can only mix in the low-end market.

Never been able to set foot in the high-end market.

Among them, in addition to Neon's firm occupation of the market, which prevents other photoresists from entering the supply chain, there is also the difficulty of high-end photoresist production processes.

Because it is used for the etching of a few nanometer chips, all data must be extremely accurate and cannot be sloppy.

It is too difficult to develop it.

Although Xu Yun is very talented in the field of materials, she has solved coating materials and solid-state batteries successively in just one year, but if she said that it took only a few days to synthesize high-quality high-end photoresists, she must not believe that for the time being Be skeptical.

In this case there is only one explanation.

Xu Yun probably started to study photoresist materials very early, and successfully synthesized samples not long ago.

Not completely ignorant of the use of the material.

Hearing all Liu Jingying's words, Xu Yun did not expect that the other party would make such a guess.

However, regarding the new material synthesis technology rewarded by this task, it is really not easy to explain too much in detail. Anyway, with the achievements made in many fields before, no one will doubt anything.

The thought stayed here, he cleared his throat with a dry cough twice, and then spoke to Liu Jingying.

"It's also a part of luck to be able to develop this material. It was synthesized by accident during my experiment."

"If it wasn't for Professor Liu's help in testing, I really didn't know that this material would have such excellent performance."

Speaking of this, Xu Yun came to a tactical pause, watching Liu Jingying and kept silent for the time being for the other party to think.

In Liu Jingying's opinion, these words belonged to being modest, so she didn't continue to ask further questions. The next second, she suddenly changed the topic and asked another matter related to her.

"Professor Xu, I don't know if you have time these days. I would like to ask you about the synthesis process of this material." After making my request, Xu Yun quickly added without waiting for an answer: "If you don't have enough time You can talk about it later.”

Apparently he was afraid that Xu Yun would be in trouble.

The main photoresist has always been her research field, and this time she took a graduate student to do the project.

Now that Xu Yun has directly produced high-end photoresist, their topic seems to have lost its original meaning.

But if she can ask Xu Yun about technical issues, it will undoubtedly be of great help to her own knowledge and level.

Naturally, Xu Yun didn't mind communicating with him. Anyway, after the matter of new materials is completely resolved, he really won't be too busy after that. The basic focus is still on starting classes and participating in teaching work.

With Meng Songyan at the helm, Deepin Technology is on the right track and there is nothing to worry about.

What's more, Chen Shihe is also helping out in the company.

There are no new projects in the laboratory for the time being, and the intelligent driving in charge of the artificial intelligence laboratory relies on Benben to believe that it can be successfully completed.

At this point in his thinking, Xu Yun put on a smile on his face, and immediately gave Liu Jingying an affirmative answer.

"No problem at all."

Before Liu Jingying could speak, the graduate students next to her seemed very excited.

"Professor Xu, can we come and listen in then?"

"We really enjoyed your class."

"May I?"

They begged Xu Yun one after another.

As a professor, my favorite is undoubtedly the students who are willing to learn.

Faced with the study requests of several graduate students, how could it be reasonable to refuse, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"Can."

"You guys are lucky. This kind of opportunity is not easy to come across even if you look at other colleges and universities." Liu Jingying raised her eyes to look at her graduate student beside her and said with a smile.

Things are progressing here, basically it is nearing the end.

Judging from the test results of material samples by Liu Jingying's research group, it has reached the standard of high-end photoresist.

It is equivalent to completely filling the gap in the domestic high-end photoresist market.

But the only problem is that there is currently no extreme ultraviolet high-end lithography machine in China that cannot manufacture chip wafers smaller than 5 nanometers.

In this way, the stability of the photoresist cannot be tested, and the value cannot be realized in a short period of time.

Not even useful.

But there is no way to do this. After all, overseas fabs have established a relatively stable cooperation with Neon, and it is absolutely impossible to easily replace the new photoresist.

They don't have the guts to gamble on the stability of the new photoresist. If there is a problem in the chip's fine round manufacturing, it will cause a very large economic and material loss to the fab.

After finally completing the advanced task to get this reward, if I don't do anything, I am really not reconciled.

At least let the outside world know about the rise of domestic high-end photoresists.

Even if you don't need it for the time being.

Liu Jingying seemed to have thought of the same thing as Xu Yun, and asked for opinions in the next second.

"correct."

"As for the results of this new type of photoresist semiconductor material, what are you going to do, Professor Xu?"

"Do you want to announce it to the public?"

"Of course we have to announce the good news, and the sooner the better." Xu Yun finally made a decision and turned to Liu Jingying.

Hearing this sentence, Liu Jingying nodded and said: "Right now we are frustrated everywhere in the semiconductor field, and the excellent chips we have designed cannot be manufactured. Although it will take time to realize the localization of the high-end chip manufacturing industry, it is good to solve the problem of photoresist first. This is exciting news." She briefly introduced the current situation in the industry to Xu Yun.

Xu Yun doesn't know much about the semiconductor field, but he still knows the general situation he is facing.

You Benben forwarded global news to him every day.

With photoresist alone and no supporting high-end chip manufacturing production line, it is impossible to master chip autonomy.

Although the research and development of domestic high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machines is faced with many technical difficulties that cannot be broken through, he does not mind participating in the research if necessary.

His knowledge of optoelectronics is no less than that of professors and researchers in this field.

Solving the problem of solid-state lidar at the beginning is a good explanation.

Besides, he has now accumulated more than 400 points, plus enough time to turn on the brain overclocking. To be conservative, let alone completely conquer the high-end extreme ultraviolet lithography machine manufacturing technology, there is no problem in taking it a big step forward.

But this is a national key project after all, and his best field is not optoelectronics.

If you want to participate and have a certain right to speak, you still need to wait for a suitable opportunity.

The thought stayed here and Xu Yun didn't stay for too long. After telling Liu Jingying and the others to let him go to dinner as soon as possible, he went to the dean's office to find Sun Zhenghong and mentioned the matter.

Sun Zhenghong is very aware of Xu Yun's talent in the field of materials, so it can be said that he is eager for Xu Yun to come to the Academy of Materials Engineering.

But after learning that Xu Yun had synthesized high-end photoresist this time, even though he was somewhat immune, his heart still beat hard twice.

If it wasn't for his healthy body, he would probably be so excited that he would pass out.

"You kid really surprised me by changing the way. How many semiconductor material laboratories have invested a lot of money and manpower to create things that you can't develop so easily."

"OK."

"That's great."

In the office, Sun Zhenghong got up from his chair, and after reading the material test report, he patted Xu Yun on the shoulder and spoke.

During the process, he did not hide the joy overflowing on his face.

If other people come to tell him that he has synthesized a high-end photoresist semiconductor material, then he will be skeptical, at least it is impossible to be as happy as he is now just hearing the news.

The reason was not only that this test report was issued by Liu Jingying, but also that Xu Yun had this ability.

After touching for a few seconds, Sun Zhenghong calmed down a little, and immediately talked about the follow-up to Xu Yun.

"I will report on the results of this research immediately. I believe many old guys who study semiconductors will be very happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to be thinking of something again, and said again: "You'd better take the time to complete your thesis these few days, so as not to be smeared by those arrogant guys."

Since the achievements in the field of photoresist are to be announced to the outside world, the paper must be a strong support.

Anyway, the content of the thesis is basically based on the synthesis process and data, and basically does not involve important core parameters, and I am not afraid of other companies secretly infringing patents for in-depth research.

Besides, there is no supporting chip production process, and photoresist alone is useless.

For Xu Yun, the thesis is undoubtedly faithful, and it doesn't take much time to write it.

Naturally, he would not refuse such a casual thing, and immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Don't worry Dean, I will finish the thesis as soon as possible."

Even in order not to waste time, Xu Yun and Sun Zhenghong chatted briefly and then returned to the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, intending to start writing the paper first.

As for the follow-up of the materials, they were all left to Sun Zhenghong.

that's all.

Two or three days passed quickly.

While Xu Yun was busy writing his thesis, Jingzhou University finally announced the good news of the college to the outside world.

It is announced that Professor Xu Yun has successfully synthesized high-end photoresist semiconductor materials in the laboratory of the Academy of Materials Engineering Science.

And publish the test report of the new photoresist.

Because high-end lithography machines cannot be manufactured, the semiconductor market is controlled by others and everyone is holding their breath.

Especially netizens are very upset.

However, my skills are not as good as others, so I have to swallow my anger.

Nowadays, in the fields of mathematics, lidar, artificial intelligence, etc., everyone is full of confidence and full of strong pride and pride, but when it comes to semiconductor-related lithography machine chip manufacturing, it is like a frosted eggplant without the lack of confidence.

It is under such circumstances that the good news about photoresist from Jingzhou University is undoubtedly a booster.

It aroused everyone's enthusiasm to a great extent.

At the beginning, everyone saw that high-end photoresist was synthesized, and they still had some doubts in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the research of photoresist is progressing so fast.

According to the previous situation, the domestic low-end photoresist has basically achieved coverage and is quite mature.

Mid-range photoresists are also being developed.

As a result, we did not wait for the news that the mid-range photoresist was conquered, but instead directly upgraded to the high-end photoresist.

And judging from the published test reports, many data are even higher than the high-end photoresist produced by Neon’s company.

Such an unreasonable situation will inevitably lead to doubts, making people unable to believe the authenticity of the happy news.

Fortunately, this doubt did not stay in the mind for too long. When everyone saw that the developer was Xu Yun, all doubts dissipated immediately. It seemed that as long as it was a project that Xu Yun worked on, no matter how surprised it was, there would be no problems.

Because this is the experience summed up by history.

Soon the whole Internet was immersed in the joy brought by Xu Yun, and the topic directly dominated the hot search lists of major websites and platforms.

The most gratifying thing is that Xu Yun has finally entered the field of semiconductor materials.

With the beginning of high-end photoresist, will high-end photolithography machines be far behind? Netizens are very excited just immersed in this fantasy, and they are discussing intensely under the relevant video comment area.

"Aren't we still developing mid-range photoresists? Why did we suddenly solve the problem of high-end photoresists?"

"It turned out to be Professor Xu's research results, so it's all right."

"The popularity of artificial intelligence models has not completely passed, and Professor Xu put a big move on semiconductor materials. I still say that you can always trust our Professor Xu."

"My dear, these parameters have already surpassed the high-end photoresist of Neon."

"When will Professor Xu study the lithography machine? If there is no high-end lithography machine to develop this kind of photoresist, it will not be used."

"This time, are you sure that Professor Xu's military exoskeleton armor outstanding youth project has ended, or else there should be no time to study photoresist, and I am curious how this outstanding youth project is going?"

"Exoskeletons are not unusual at all. If there are results, the official should have announced them to the outside world. It is estimated that Professor Xu chose to give up. After all, everyone stumbles."

In the massive comments, many people mentioned the previous outstanding youth project again, which caused some doubts.

Although the period of the outstanding youth project is four years, Xu Yun basically stayed at Jingzhou University to teach during this time, and now he has developed high-end photoresist, which does not seem to be researching the outstanding youth project.

Mainly based on the funded project information announced by the foundation, it is determined that Xu Yun is researching military exoskeletons.

Everyone is no stranger to exoskeletons, and there is not much room for further research to improve.

It stands to reason that at Xu Yun's level, it should have been completed long ago.

As a result, there is no news so far.

In this case, netizens deduced based on known information that Xu Yun should have given up the project.

After all, in the process of carrying out the project, I found that the research value is not high, and it is normal to choose to give up and study other things, otherwise, there may not be a breakthrough in today's high-end photoresist.

In addition, many people called for Xu Yun to participate in the research of high-end lithography machines.

As the topic becomes more and more popular, many official organization accounts can be seen posting congratulations.

Among them are several research institutes under the Academy of Sciences.

I am looking forward to the delivery of domestic high-end lithography machines to Huawei Technologies, and I also sent a letter to express my gratitude to Xu Yun and Jingzhou University.

It didn't take long for the news to spread overseas, because some newspapers reported Xu Yun's name.

But compared to the heat here, the outside reaction was much smaller, and it seemed that they didn't take this situation too seriously at all.

I don't think it will affect their position in the semiconductor field.

It is mainly just photoresist. No matter how powerful the parameters are, it will not be able to play any role without a high-end photolithography machine.

This is the same reason that a gun without bullets is not as good as a fire stick.

——

With the spread of the news in the next few days, as the neon, which accounts for almost all the high-end photoresists in the world, the leading semiconductor material companies have also discussed it.

It's just that most of them are skeptical, thinking that it is impossible for Jingzhou University to synthesize high-end photoresists.

It's not that they are blindly confident, mainly as the existence of the top of the pyramid in this field, they are qualified to question this.

The name Xu Yun may not be unfamiliar to him, and he is indeed a globally recognized genius.

But they are more aware of the difficulty of developing high-end photoresists. The entire company does not know how much energy and financial resources it takes to gain a firm foothold and become the world's most advanced photoresist supplier.

The chemistry laboratory of Jingzhou University started from scratch and directly raised the specification of photoresist from low-end to high-end in a short period of time, which is completely impossible under common sense.

"At present, due to insufficient production capacity, it will not be able to continue to provide high-end photoresists to several fabs for the time being."

"However, we will increase production capacity in the future to ensure supply as much as possible."

...

"Thank you again for coming to today's press conference. You can ask any questions below."

At the press conference of Dongjing Shin-Etsu Chemical, the current president Ryohei Kimura stood on the stage and talked to the reporters in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, several reporters asked questions one after another.

After answering a few simple questions, one of the male reporters suddenly stood up and asked a question.

"In recent days, it has been rumored that the laboratory of Huafang Jingzhou University has successfully synthesized high-end photoresist. I don't know how Mr. Kimura thinks about this matter. Will this affect Shin-Etsu's share in the high-end photoresist market?"

As soon as this remark came out, other reporters were curious, wanting to see how the leading company in the field of high-end photoresist would evaluate it.

When Kimura Ryohei heard this question, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he commented without paying attention.

"This should be the funniest joke I've heard today. I don't think they can synthesize high-end photoresist. It can be said that even if they give them a detailed paper, they will never be able to produce high-end photoresist."

"Is not it?"

There was contempt and confidence in the words, and it was obvious that he didn't believe the news was true from the beginning.

And this kind of provocative answer also made the reporters a little fanatical, and they picked up their cameras to shoot, knowing that this news would definitely arouse discussions in the industry and even the world.

After all, the person Ryohei Kimura is talking about is Xu Yun, a genius scientist who has created many miracles and has a large number of fans. (end of this chapter)
