Chapter 408: Chapter 257: A 7nm Process Technology Chip (First update, please subscribe)_1

The use of gallium nitride semiconductor materials in the chip field is also very crucial. Compared with silicon material chips, gallium nitride chips have the advantages of high frequency, high efficiency, and high voltage resistance.

No wonder Ding Yue has managed to receive a military order, it seems that the Western Military Region needs a batch of gallium nitride chips.

However.

Ding Yue only mastered gallium nitride semiconductor material technology and could not produce the gallium nitride chips needed by Officer Liu. Hence, Ding Yue needs to cooperate with GuoXin Technology.

In Xia Country, GuoXin Technology represents the production and manufacturing of chip products. A large number of orders, whether they are partially civilian or military, are ordered from GuoXin Technology.

Even if Ding Yue wanted chips, he would have to buy them from GuoXin Technology, otherwise he would have to buy them from foreign companies.

Obviously, if he purchases chips from foreign companies, the price will definitely be very expensive.

Facing this military order brought by Officer Liu, Ding Yue couldn’t help but look incredibly pleased because his gallium nitride semiconductor material technology could provide effective use for the military. That’s like invisibly gilding Ding Yue, Mist City Arts and Science University, and Feiyue Group.

"Great, of course there’s no problem."

Ding Yue immediately agreed to Officer Liu’s demand for their gallium nitride chip requirements.

"Alright, we will get GuoXin Technology to contact Principal Ding regarding the specifics of the gallium nitride chips," Officer Liu said.

"Okay!"

This phone call was straightforward and clear, without any form of dragging. Ding Yue and Officer Liu only spoke for a few words before confirming the military order.

"Principal Ding, what did Officer Liu say?"

Wen Ruohan, seeing that Principal Ding finished his call with Officer Liu from the Western Military Region so quickly, was incredibly curious about what they had discussed in their brief conversation.

Is it possible that there’s some major secret?

Ah?

Should she really be asking? What if she’s invited for a ’tea’ (interrogation)?

"Perfect, we have received a military order!" Ding Yue snapped his fingers, a smile on his face.

"Wow! A military order!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruohan’s eyes immediately shone with excitement.

"Cough cough, keep it low key, don’t talk about it outside." Ding Yue glared at Wen Ruohan.

"Yes yes, Principal Ding, I understand!"

Wen Ruohan nodded her head vigorously, she wouldn’t dare blab about it - after all, a military order is somewhat sensitive, isn’t it?

Moreover, all Wen Ruohan knew was that Principal Ding received a military order, nothing more about the specifics.

In fact, Ding Yue also knew little.

He only knew that Officer Liu wanted to order a batch of gallium nitride chips and that he would need to cooperate with GuoXin Technology using the gallium nitride semiconductor material technology mastered by Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Wen Ruohan, GuoXin Technology has been in touch with me before, you can call them now."

Having thought of this, Ding Yue prepared to communicate with GuoXin Technology.

"Okay, Principal Ding."

Wen Ruohan immediately called Mr. Wang Liwu, the CEO of GuoXin Technology.

"Principal Ding, the call has gone through." After the call was connected, Wen Ruohan passed the phone to Principal Ding.

"Hello, this is Wang Liwu, the CEO of GuoXin Technology."

After the call was connected, the person on the other end introduced himself first.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I am Ding Yue, the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University." Ding Yue also introduced himself.

"Oh, Principal Ding, hello, hello." The other party’s tone became friendlier when he heard that it was Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I just spoke with Officer Liu from a division in the Western Military Region and he mentioned that he needed an order of gallium nitride chips. I thought I should discuss this matter with you."

After exchanging pleasantries with Wang Liwu, Ding Yue got straight to the point.

"Yes, Officer Liu needs a batch of 15 gallium nitride chips. We can produce chips with the best 7nm process technology, but we need the gallium nitride semiconductor material technology from your esteemed institution. So, to fulfill Officer Liu’s order, we need to work together. This order for 10 gallium nitride chips will result in a profit of 7.5 million yuan for Mist City Arts and Science University."

Upon hearing Ding Yue mentioning this, Wang Liwu’s tone became serious and he gave a detailed explanation of the situation.

7.5 million!

gallium nitride chips, which means that Ding Yue could reap a profit of 500,000 yuan per gallium nitride chip.

It seems that a high-end military chip made from Nitrogen Gallium semiconductor technology really comes with a hefty price tag.

However, Ding Yue doesn’t care about the revenue of this order for 15 Nitrogen Gallium chips. After all, he’s not lacking in 7.5 million yuan, and military orders like these aren’t always available, maybe just this once.

For Ding Yue, this military order’s most important significance is that the semiconductor material technology researched and developed by Mist City Arts and Science University is of assistance to the military, and add to this there is an initial collaboration.

Perhaps in the future, various technologies developed and innovated by Mist City Arts and Science University might first be applicable for the military.

"I understand this, and I’ve also promised Officer Liu that Mr. Wang, you will communicate about the specific requirements and process of this matter with my Feiyue Group’s CEO. However, there’s one thing I would like to discuss with you, Mr. Wang."

Ding Yue isn’t interested in knowing the specifics of the collaboration; it will suffice to let An Yujia handle that.

His side will only be responsible for providing Nitrogen Gallium semiconductor technology, while the manufacturing of Nitrogen Gallium chip is the task of Guoxing Technology.

Nevertheless, Ding Yue plans to use this collaborative opportunity to also place an order with Guoxing Technology.

"Principal Ding, please proceed."

"Well, I need a Nitrogen Gallium chip too, and I require a Nitrogen Gallium chip produced using your company’s most advanced fabrication technology!"

Ding Yue stated his needs.

Yes, Ding Yue needs a Nitrogen Gallium chip to upgrade his No.1 robot, Big White.

A normal health care robot Big White, or the legal robot Big White, both use ordinary chips to execute specific field programs.

An ordinary chip cannot support a smart upgrade, therefore, Ding Yue needs a more powerful Nitrogen Gallium chip.

Ding Yue cannot fabricate such a chip; after all, even the photolithography experiment project at Mist City Arts and Science University has not been formally started yet.

Luo Peng and Su Beilin are still drafting the photolithography experiment project plan.

It is estimated that even putting out this plan will take about one month.

Therefore, Ding Yue wants to order a chip from Guoxing Technology, and luckily, his Mist City Arts and Science University happens to have mastered the mature Nitrogen Gallium semiconductor technology to produce a superior Nitrogen Gallium chip.

Thus, Ding Yue demands a Nitrogen Gallium chip produced with the best fabrication technology by Guoxing Technology.

"Principal Ding needs a Nitrogen Gallium chip, well, that’s not a difficult task. We, Guoxing Technology, can fabricate a Nitrogen Gallium chip with a 7nm fab process, but the price will be very high."

Answered Wang Liwu.

"Money is not an issue. What I need is the best Nitrogen Gallium chip. Mr. Wang, doesn’t your Guoxing Technology control a fab process more core than 7nm, have you made a breakthrough in the 5nm field?"

Ding Yue asked with a smile.

Guoxing Technology, in fact, is quite capable. However, the major revenue of Guoxing Technology still comes from the mass production chips of 28nm and 14nm fab processes. As for the higher-end chips like those of the 7nm fab process, Guoxing Technology seemingly isn’t ready yet for mass production, let alone the chips of 5nm fab process.

But, the inability to achieve mass production doesn’t mean they don’t control the core technology of these fabrication processes.

Which is to say, Guoxing Technology can produce chips of 7nm or 5nm fab process, but the high costs make it impossible for mass production.

"It seems that Principal Ding has a good understanding of our Guoxing Technology. So, do you need a Nitrogen Gallium chip fabbed with a 5nm process? That’s a rather high challenge!"

Mr. Wang couldn’t help but laugh.

Guoxing Technology can produce a silicon chip fabbed with a 5nm process, but a Nitrogen Gallium chip fabbed at 5nm clearly raises the challenge significantly.

"How long will it take approximately?" asked Ding Yue.

"About three months."

"What about a Nitrogen Gallium chip of 7nm fab process?" Ding Yue slightly lowered his demands.

A Nitrogen Gallium chip of 7nm fab process, from the performance aspect, should also be able to support the intelligence of Robot Big White.

"With regards to the Nitrogen Gallium chip of 7nm fab process, as long as your school provides mature Nitrogen Gallium semiconductor technology, I believe half a month’s time could provide you, Principal Ding, with a 7nm Nitrogen Gallium chip," answered Wang Liwu. "The cost would be about 1 million yuan."

Mr. Wang was very straightforward. Principal Ding needed a Nitrogen Gallium chip of 7nm process, he just calculated the cost for him, not considering the profit of Guoxing Technology.

After all, the Nitrogen Gallium semiconductor material technology has to be provided by Principal Ding, in addition to the initial collaboration, there is also a military order collaboration. Mr. Wang wants to establish a good relationship between Guoxing Technology and Mist City Arts and Science University, so he doesn’t consider whether it would make money or not, instead, he should consider things at a higher level.

Mist City Arts and Science University has been able to achieve success in the third-generation semiconductor material technology, then will it not achieve more success in other semiconductor-related fields in the future?

Building a good cooperation relationship today will make everything smoother in the future.

"Alright, I look forward to receiving my desired 7nm Nitrogen Gallium chip in half a month."

Ding Yue started to get excited.

Once he gets this Nitrogen Gallium chip, he can start upgrading Robot Big White No.1.

After Robot Big White No.1 is upgraded to become smarter, Ding Yue would certainly use it personally. After all, due to high-cost issues, it basically wouldn’t be possible to commercialize it.

Having my own smart Big White, would feel really cool just thinking about it...
