Chapter 164 The terrifying direction
Wang Yi began a long-term experimental state of overclocking from time to time. Lin Shiqin was in control of all the outside affairs and could do whatever she wanted.
The process has never been interrupted.
In fact, after completing the A1 contact lens, Wang Yi has been exploring the magic of locking the electron energy levels so that the electrons do not absorb high-energy photons and allow high-energy light beams to pass through.
(You can review the second half of Chapter 105 here. After all, since it is on the science fiction channel, it is better to conform to some basics.)
The research has been going smoothly step by step, and the wavelength of light transmitted by the resin has reached about 150nm.
This can be said to be a very exaggerated result!
Currently, the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine is still in the laboratory stage of ASML. Perhaps the prototype and prototype have appeared, but the original purpose of the EUV lithography machine is to mass-produce chips, and it requires a vacuum environment, so it will take time for the lithography machine to mass-produce chips or for the lithography machine itself to be commercialized.
Currently, the most advanced lithography machine is the 193nm wavelength immersion DUV lithography machine developed by ASML in collaboration with TSMC. By utilizing the refractive index of liquid, the ultimate accuracy of the 193nm deep ultraviolet wavelength can be greatly increased.
Although the current general chip process is still above 20nm, the theoretical accuracy of immersion DUV lithography machines can reach a limit of 7nm. However, to achieve this, supporting processes are required, which is not something that everyone can achieve.
In the past, the lithography machine giants, Connie and Canon, had always used dry lithography machines, only thinking about shortening the wavelength of the light source. Even though they developed a 157nm wavelength lithography machine, they were still ruthlessly overtaken by ASML and lost customers.
This is cutting-edge technology, the winner takes all!
Even for DUV lithography machines that only use deep ultraviolet light, the lens options are already quite scarce, and the available options are probably calcium fluoride and barium fluoride.
The photon energy level of deep ultraviolet light is too high and too easily absorbed. This is light that cannot even enter the ozone layer, so resin and the like are a bit of a fantasy.
But Wang Yi had previously relied on his magic power to enhance the electrons in the resin, and managed to increase the wavelength to 150nm to allow it to pass through.
Theoretically, this thing can already make companies like Carl Zeiss's scalp tingle, and may even require a certain degree of upgrade to the current version of the lithography machine.
But for Wang Yi, this still made him quite dissatisfied.
He is using magic technology, and it is so difficult to reach the limit of 150nm. The future EUV lithography machine is close to the critical value of X-rays at 13.5nm, and the photon energy level is more than ten times the 150nm deep ultraviolet energy level!
Therefore, future EUV lithography machines will choose continuous reflection to perform convergence adjustments, and ultimately have an utilization rate of only about 4%, which places extremely high demands on light source power, reflective materials, and precision.
Even for Wang Yi, it is impossible to overcome all these problems in a short period of time!
After all, 13.5nm extreme ultraviolet rays can even ionize the air, and the reflective material itself has a service life, and we also have to consider the damage caused by light to the material during use.
With such high-precision equipment, even the slightest damage can lead to drastic changes in the results.
Therefore, if Wang Yi wants to overtake on a curve, he needs to produce enough material to allow this level of light to pass through!
Originally at the beginning, Wang Yi relied on the magic power of the Mage Tower to prepare for strong pressure, and gradually increased the light transmittance to prove his truth with force.
But this time, after such a long communication with this group of mathematicians, he completely opened up new ideas for him!
Just like ASML first overtook its competitors by relying on immersion lithography machines, and then when Canon and Conny also began to research immersion and wanted to overtake again by using the technology they had accumulated previously, ASML directly opened up a new track and developed EUV lithography machines, and opened up an insurmountable gap at one time.
Now Wang Yi has completely changed his thinking. He directly uses magic power to empower electrons that can absorb light, forming a certain degree of magic ionization, and then finds a way to solve the metallic properties brought by free electrons!
It is better to unblock than to block!
The method of suppression also resulted in a corresponding mathematical model through brainstorming during this period.
In fact, if we continue in this direction, we will be able to produce lenses that can pass extreme ultraviolet rays and even X-rays.
It also involves a rather scary application area.
Atomic structure changes and fusion reactions!
The essence of fusion is to destroy the atomic structure of low-sequence elements and allow the atomic nuclei to combine into new elements.
But the requirements of this process are quite difficult, and are completely different from fission. Not only does it take a lot of energy to destroy the atomic structure, but the nucleus is also too small relative to the size of the atom itself.
Many people have no concrete idea of the size difference between the nucleus and the atom.
For example, if a football field is an atom, then the nucleus is only a soybean placed at the center of the field. Fusion is to destroy the atomic structure and let the two soybeans in the center of the field collide, so high temperature, high pressure and accelerated motion are required to ensure this process.
Well-known examples of fusion are hydrogen bombs and the sun.
But the fusion reactions between the two are completely different.
The fusion of the sun is achieved directly by the most common element hydrogen, 'protium', in a core temperature of over 15 million degrees and an environment with a density ten times that of lead.
First, two protiums fuse into deuterium, then one protium and one deuterium fuse into helium-3, and finally two helium-3 fuse into helium-4 plus two protiums.
The conditions required are far greater than those for a hydrogen bomb.
A hydrogen bomb is simply the process of deuterium and tritium fusing into helium-4 plus a neutron. The conditions required are much simpler, and the detonation of an atomic bomb is enough.
After Wang Yi studied the new method of using lenses to interfere with electrons through high-energy rays, he suddenly thought of using magic to separate electrons in a 'gentle' way. In theory, the difficulty of nuclear fusion would be reduced exponentially!
If the speed and output power of fusion can be controlled, it can be considered as cold fusion technology.
"Heh~, if this thing can be made and taken out directly, I wonder if it can cause a world war."
After Wang Yi worked out a bunch of formulas, he rubbed his forehead.
However, even the lenses are still in the theoretical stage for now, and we can slowly work on it by directly utilizing the polymerization of protium. The difficulty of directly removing electrons and destroying the atomic structure with magic 'gentle' is much more difficult than simple ionization.
For example, there is metallic hydrogen in the core of Jupiter, but it is still far from the conditions for fusion, and it cannot even meet the fusion conditions of a brown dwarf.
But at least we have a direction...
…
After finally coming up with a theoretical prototype and making some progress in lens research, Wang Yi asked Lin Shiqin
"How many biological experts have been invited from Umbrella ?"
" Four teams have been formed. They have started research with the resources obtained from TT. I will synchronize all the experimental data to you."
After hearing what Lin Shiqin said, Wang Yi was still very satisfied. Employees with high subjective initiative can save their own energy.
"Is there any sand?"
"Yes, but not many. Research talents like these prefer technology. The sand was still planted by our old friends."
"As long as they are willing to do the work, then they can do it. I will also send them some information so that we can discuss it together."
"clear."
The four teams do not contact each other and only exchange information with each other occasionally. Wang Yi's things are mixed in among them, so they will only be regarded as the fifth, sixth, or even seventh or eighth team.
Testing of genetic efficacy can also be started directly!
What Wang Yi can provide them is the magic culture medium of 'ripening' and 'acceleration'!
This can greatly increase their efficiency...
