Chapter 400: Chapter 249: Third Generation Semiconductor Materials (First Update, Please Subscribe) _1

Ding Yue quickly saw a Twitter update from Director Ma Wenhai.

emmmmm...

I just said I hope to win the box office champion for the National Holiday Period, and it got dissed by Director Ma?

I didn’t say for sure that I would be the champion of National Holiday box office, I just hoped to win it. As a result, I was met with Director Ma Wenhai’s comment, "Does an animated movie deserve the box office champion?"

Why can’t an animated movie win the box office championship?

As long as the quality is good enough to attract the audience into the cinema and receive good word of mouth, it really has a chance to win the box office championship in its release period.

The most impressive movie for Ding Yue was the animated movie "Nezha the Devil’s Child" on Earth in his previous life. With its excellent quality, the audience spoke highly of it, and it continued to rise in the box office, finally winning the annual box office champion in 2019!

Who could have thought it would be the dark horse of 2019 when the animated movie was released?

"I also wish Director Ma’s movie sells well!"

Ding Yue left a comment in the Twitter comments section of Ma Wenhai.

Though Ma Wenhai looks down upon an animated movie winning any box office champion, Ding Yue doesn’t bother to argue with him.

Let him indulge in his own fantasy. I guess Director Ma Wenhai is confident in winning the box office champion during the National Holiday Period with his sci-fi movie "Space Fortress"?

Actually, after Ding Yue pondered over Director Ma Wenhai’s "Space Fortress," he found no major issues with the cast. The main actor is a popular star, and the rest of the cast also looks strong.

Besides, the investment is very high. With so much money, perhaps a decent sci-fi movie can be made?

The subject matter of "Space Fortress" is similar to the popular sci-fi movie subjects in Xia Country, which is about aliens invading Earth and humans resisting by building a fortress in space as the last line of defense for Earth.

In Ding Yue’s words, it’s cliche, trivial, and uninteresting; it’s just for the special effects of a large-scale space battle scene.

However, if the large-scale special effects scenes are well done, that’s some highlight.

Ding Yue is curious to see how much box office Director Ma Wenhai’s "Space Fortress" can earn.

In the following few days, the animated movie "Super Combat Team" from Mist City Arts and Science University stayed popular, and netizens discuss the animated movie featuring the medical health robot Big White every day.

However, Ding Yue did not focus on "Super Combat Team" for the time being as it wasn’t going to be released until September 30th, and there was still some time.

During this period, the daily teaching work of the second-year students of Mist City Arts and Science University was presided over by Qi Chunsheng, the Director, while the freshmen were participating in military training every day.

Since there were no generous rewards for military training this year, Ding Yue didn’t pay much attention to it.

Ding Yue took this time to collaborate with Professor Zhou Wen, Prof. Shen Congde, and Professor Wang Shangzhong from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology to research GaN semiconductor materials in the physics semiconductor lab every day.

Previously, Ding Yue and the three professors jointly published several papers on the third-generation semiconductor materials in Xia Country, which caught the attention of many domestic enterprises and even the government.

After all, if the third-generation semiconductor materials can be realized domestically, there will be a great leap in the semiconductor field.

Among the third-generation semiconductor materials, GaN is a pivotal factor.

Compared to the first-generation semiconductor material silicon and the second-generation gallium arsenide, the third-generation GaN semiconductor material would have a significant upgrade in all aspects.

Now.

The research project on GaN semiconductor material technology by Ding Yue and Professor Zhou Wen has reached a crucial moment.

From September 13th to September 21st, Ding Yue spent nearly every moment in the lab with them, except for eating, sleeping, and resting.

It wasn’t until the morning of September 22nd that Ding Yue finally came out of the lab. He spent the entire night in the lab. Professors Zhou Wen, Shen Congde, and Wang Shangzhong went to rest around three or four in the morning due to their age.

The remaining parts of the experiment were not many, so they were all left to Ding Yue to complete.

Now!

Ding Yue finally completed the development of GaN semiconductor materials with the concerted efforts of the three professors!

Because GaN semiconductor materials have a wide direct bandgap, strong atomic bonds, high thermal conductivity, excellent chemical stability, and strong radiation resistance, they have broad prospects in the applications of chips, optoelectronics, high-temperature high-power devices, and high-frequency microwave devices.

The main focus of Ding Yue’s research with Professor Zhou Wen this time was on breakthroughs in chips and power devices.

The developed GaN semiconductor materials can be used in the field of device design and manufacturing.

They are mainly used in chips, including LED chips, RF chips, and laser chips.

The most important application field of RF chips is the 5G base station!

And for power devices, the widest application of GaN is chargers.

After leaving the lab, Ding Yue let out a yawn.

At this time, Ding Yue found that his secretary, Wen Ruohan, was actually waiting for him outside the lab.

"Didn’t you sleep last night either?"

Ding Yue looked at Wen Ruohan and asked, furrowing his brows.

Unbelievable.

He had spent the whole night in the lab. Surely, Wen Ruohan was not foolish enough to have stayed outside the lab waiting all night, was she?

"No, I got up very early and bought breakfast for you, Principal Ding." Wen Ruohan handed a bag of food she had bought from the cafeteria to Principal Ding.

"Oh, thank you."

After receiving the breakfast, Ding Yue wolfed it down.

He was famished and exhausted from working for a whole night. Now, Ding Yue just wanted to return to his apartment room to catch up on sleep.

After a good sleep, he would officially announce the latest achievements of Mist City Arts and Science University in the field of Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor research!

This third-generation semiconductor technology-under the cooperation between Mist City Arts and Science University and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology- would have a solid market in the country.

Because either the government or domestic enterprises in Xia Country, requiring third-generation semiconductor materials, would have to collaborate with foreign counterparts, given that domestic third-generation semiconductor technology was not mature yet.

But starting from today, Xia country now owns its own mature third-generation semiconductor technology.

Ding Yue could hardly wait to have a Gallium Nitride chip. If he owns such a chip, he can use it to upgrade Big White’s intelligence technology.

The current version of robot Big White operates on the basis of a regular chipset’s commands. Ding Yue wants a "Big White" with "Artificial Intelligence."

To achieve "Artificial Intelligence," the chip must be powerful enough initially.

When Ding Yue initially collaborated with the three professors from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology to develop Gallium Nitride semiconductor materials, his goal was to manufacture a Gallium Nitride chip for upgrading robot Big White after the project’s completion.

To carry out an "artificial intelligence" upgrade on robot Big White, Ding Yue would need to perform two steps on the chip.

The first step is to upgrade the chip’s material, namely, the research on the Gallium Nitride semiconductor material that he finally concluded today.

The second step is the chip’s fabrication process, which involves the photolithography machine and the chip. Hence, Ding Yue asked Luo Peng and Su Beilin to draft a plan for the photolithography experiment project.

Just as Ding Yue was leaving the Physics Experiment Building and walking towards Peach Garden Apartment, he received a phone call.

"Professor Zhou Wen?"

After seeing the caller ID, Ding Yue answered the phone: "Hello, Professor Zhou, haven’t you rested yet?"

"Principal Ding, I did rest for a few hours after returning home, but I woke up again. Do you still need our help over there?"

"No need, we’ve completed it. Professor Zhou, our Gallium Nitride semiconductor technology has finally succeeded!"

Ding Yue said with a laugh.

"Wonderful! Principal Ding! This will be a great achievement for our country in the field of third-generation semiconductor material!"

Professor Zhou Wen made this call wanting to know whether Principal Ding had finally succeeded.

Once it was done, it would mean that the third-generation semiconductor material, i.e., Gallium Nitride semiconductor technology, of Xia Country, had reached maturity!

It could then be used extensively in various fields.

"Yes! Professor Zhou, when will we officially announce this news?" Ding Yue asked, yawning.

"Principal Ding, you haven’t slept all night, have you? Why don’t you go home and rest first, and we can make the announcement after that?"

Professor Zhou Wen was considering Ding Yue’s current condition.

"It doesn’t matter, I’m young and have a strong body!" Ding Yue laughed and said, "Then, I’ll let the university issue an official announcement, and then our physics department at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology and the physics department at Mist City Arts and Science University will announce it together, okay?"

"Okay, okay, when exactly?" Professor Zhou Wen asked excitedly.

"Let’s set it at ten in the morning."

Ding Yue glanced at the time now, it was eight-thirty in the morning.

"Alright, Principal Ding, you should really rest as soon as possible. Your health is important."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to do something, i.e., to ask the University’s Propaganda Department to officially announce at ten o’clock that Mist City Arts and Science University and Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had successfully researched and mastered the mature technology of Gallium Nitride semiconductors.

"Okay, Principal Ding, I’ll go find Director Liu Hongxia from the Propaganda Department. Principal, please hurry back and get some rest."

After carefully keeping Principal Ding’s instructions in mind, Wen Ruohan urged Principal Ding to go back to his apartment and rest.

"Okay."

Ding Yue, who was almost falling asleep, returned to his apartment, took a hot shower, and immediately fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
