When the latest issue of Discovery magazine was released through interviews, the whole world was stunned.

What followed immediately was a sensation like Mars hitting the earth.

Shock, surprise, excitement, excitement, fear, fear... Various emotions appeared in the entire academic and industrial world almost at the same time.

It is still late at night, and many scholars or engineers who are sleeping, as well as bosses, executives and other personnel in related industries, almost without exception, have all been called by emergency calls.

Emergency meetings were held quickly, and the entire semiconductor industry was discussing the relevant situation.

Carbon based chips!

A new type of chip made of carbon nanomaterials!

For academia and the semiconductor industry, the concept of carbon-based chips is not something that just appeared this year.

As early as the 1950s and 1960s, some scholars proposed using carbon materials to prepare integrated circuits.

But until today, the term "carbon-based chip" is still just a "conceptual term" for the entire semiconductor industry.

Even the most cutting-edge academic circles still have considerable controversy over whether this technical route is feasible.

After all, carbon-based chips still need to overcome various difficulties such as purity, orientation angle and density before achieving mass production, and it is also extremely difficult to prepare large-area uniform CNT array films.

Even many top materials science experts or cutting-edge engineers in the semiconductor field are hesitant about carbon-based chips, and even think that this is a technology that cannot be achieved in a short time.

However, it is such a controversial technology... Now someone stands up and tells the world... they did it!

And the person who stepped forward was none other than Professor Xu Chuan, the number one person in the academic world today who had solved the problem of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner, Hodge conjecture, NS equation, Yang Mills existence and mass gap problems, controllable nuclear fusion technology, lithium dendrite problem, room temperature superconducting materials...

.

With so many honors and auras, if you pick just one of the problems he solved in the past, they are miraculous and epic, enough to blind the eyes of countless people.

More importantly, given the performance of this big boss, if there is no clear and certain breakthrough in a certain job and it is foolproof, then he will basically not make a public statement.

Although China is indeed in short supply in the field of chips, it is also many years behind the West.

But given Professor Xu’s character, if he hadn’t really made a real breakthrough in the field of carbon-based chips, it would be impossible for him to stand up and take a stand.

If the breakthrough of carbon-based chips was really accomplished by the hands of this boss...

So for the Western interest groups that now control the semiconductor industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is falling.

...

Regarding the news released by the "Discovery" journal, the first person to react was not the semiconductor industry or governments, but the stock market and securities market.

When the relevant news was delivered to the United States, it was on the afternoon of Thursday.

The stocks of major semiconductor companies, which were rising one second because the authorities relaxed restrictions on the semiconductor field, fell straight off a cliff the next second.

Whether it is Nvidia, Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, Apple, Samsung and other companies, or even the entire semiconductor industry, all plummeted due to this sudden change.

Even if this news is just a preview of the next issue released by the "Discovery" magazine, even if everyone has not seen the real content, the semiconductor industry is still as if someone has shot it, and it has been hit hard.

.

Everything happened so suddenly.

Before the trailer of "Discovery" was released, almost everyone had not heard about it, and they did not know when Professor Xu started to get involved in the semiconductor field.

Although as early as last year, everyone knew that China had begun to focus on the development of chips and semiconductors, and even promoted the development of the semiconductor industry chain and began to try to layout the upstream and downstream of chips.

But for Western countries that have already laid out the semiconductor industry for a century, this is nothing at all.

After all, what surrounds the chip is a huge and cutting-edge technology industry chain.

Whether it is high-purity monocrystalline silicon materials, photoresist, photolithography machines, or EDA products for designing chip integrated circuit diagrams, these are not problems that China can solve in a short time.

However, no one expected that the sky would change just overnight.

China, which was still catching up with them last year, has made major breakthroughs in carbon-based chips this year.

Moreover, this news was published in a journal founded by the first person in today's academic circles, which simply shocked everyone's eyes.

With the news of breakthroughs in carbon-based chip technology, whether it is Nasdaq or S&P 500, almost all semiconductor-related sectors plummeted.

In fact, the related chain reactions soon spread to other fields related to the semiconductor industry.

For example, mobile phones, computers, computing servers, etc., all plummeted due to the boom in the semiconductor industry.

If the next issue of "Discovery" hadn't been officially released yet, I'm afraid this panic would have become even more confusing, possibly affecting the stock and high-tech markets of the entire United States, and even the entire Western countries.

After all, that person's influence in the academic world is too great.

Regarding the current semiconductor industry, almost everyone has contacted the "Exploration" journal and other newspapers that distribute the "Exploration" journal, and subscribed to the next issue of "Exploration·General Journal" and "Exploration·Materials".

Not only the semiconductor industry, but also the financial field, other high-tech fields and other related or unrelated industries have also contacted "Discovery" to subscribe to the next issue of the publication or hope to get more news from the Discovery headquarters

.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For them, the only hope now can be said to be pinned on the next two papers.

The entire semiconductor industry is looking forward to the two papers related to carbon-based chips published in the latest issue of "Exploration". The author is not Professor Xu Chuan, but someone else.

After all, different names of the authors of the paper have completely different influences.

If Professor Xu personally signed it, it would be a fatal blow to today's semiconductor industry.

If it were signed by other scholars, then all these worries would be relieved.

The building of silicon-based chips is still rock solid and impregnable.

...

The waiting time is always long.

After four full days, when July entered and a new week came, the "Exploration" journal finally released its latest issues of "Exploration·General Journal" and "Exploration·Materials".

For the first time, almost everyone who was waiting either purchased the electronic version of these two papers or purchased them from the official website of the journal Discovery.

Without reading the specific contents of these two papers, or paying attention to how many words they contained, everyone immediately looked at the signatures of the authors of these two papers.

"High-performance carbon-based chips based on high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays!"...Corresponding author·Xu Chuan.

"Method for high-density integration of carbon nanotube arrays based on carbon-based semiconductor materials!" First author and corresponding author Xu Chuan....

When that familiar name came into everyone's sight, the sky fell for the silicon-based chip and silicon-based semiconductor industries.

The corresponding author of both papers bears the name of Professor Xu Chuan, and even the paper on the high-density integrated carbon nanotube array method has the first author.

For scholars or technicians engaged in research in the field of semiconductors, everyone knows what this means.

The biggest problem in carbon-based chips has always been how to precisely control the arrangement of carbon nanotubes.

To put it more bluntly, it is actually the material.

At present, the materials and industrial communities have not been able to find a method that can accurately, stably and densely arrange carbon nanomaterials.

Especially carbon nanotubes, which are an important component of carbon-based chips, and their arrangement directly affects the performance of the produced carbon-based chips.

In the eyes of professionals, the paper "Method for high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays based on carbon-based semiconductor materials" is even more important than "High-performance carbon-based chips based on high-density integrated carbon nanotube arrays".

The two papers confirmed without a doubt that the carbon-based chip was a scientific research project led by that person.

Suddenly, not long after the market opened, the semiconductor industry, which had been booming all the way, fell off a cliff with a near-collapse trend.

Companies in mobile phones, PCs, computing servers and other fields related to the semiconductor field have also suffered.

Even the edifice of the global semiconductor industry is crumbling at the moment.

The source is just two papers released by that person.

...

At the same time, on the other side.

Jinling, in the office of the dean of Xinghai Research Institute.

Sitting on the leather sofa and drinking tea, Warwick's president Ren Zhengfei's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He smiled and chatted with Xu Chuan about the shocking developments in the chip and semiconductor fields these days.

"Academician Xu, you are still awesome! Two papers almost overturned the entire semiconductor industry. I looked at the performance of rice stocks today. Almost the entire semiconductor sector fell by at least one-third, including mobile phones and computers.

Related manufacturers are all plummeting."

Xu Chuan smiled and picked up the tea cup to show respect, and said with a smile: "Where is this? When they see the finished product of the carbon-based chip, they will be even crazier."

The plummeting of rice-related sectors was something they had long expected.

After all, once carbon-based chip technology matures, silicon-based chips and the related silicon-based semiconductor industry will be completely abandoned by the times.

This general trend can be seen by everyone.

But when talking about the stock market, Xu Chuan remembered another thing. He looked at Mr. Ren from Warwick with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, how much money have we made this time?"

After meeting with Mr. Ren and Mr. Yuan Zhouli from the Science and Technology Department last time, inspecting the research and development progress related to the carbon-based chip laboratory, and discussing the deployment and development of the carbon-based chip field, Xu Chuan

The original plan was modified.

He was originally planning to wait for a while, waiting for the carbon-based chip laboratory to advance the Xiongxin series products to mid-to-high-end chip performance before making them public.

But both Elder Yuan Zhouli and Mr. Ren suggested that it would be most appropriate to make it public now.
