National Chip Research Institute of Carbon-Based Integrated Circuits.

Chen Shen got off the car at the door, and followed the person leading the way in the direction of the laboratory.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the lights in the research institute were still brightly lit, and through the windows one could see figures lying at desks in various offices and laboratories.

The person who came to greet him was Professor Deng Ziming, the deputy director of the institute. As an outstanding scholar in the field of DNA nanotechnology in China, he led a research team and made great contributions to the application research of DNA nanotechnology and integrated circuit production technology. Among the materials that were sorted out and given to Chen Shen before, there are several papers by him.

Professor Deng Ziming is not yet fifty years old. He has a soldier-like cut head and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses on his nose. The first impression he gives is that he is crisp and neat.

At this time, his face looked very energetic and excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. After a brief introduction, while leading the way, he turned sideways to talk to God Chen.

"Now we have done all the experimental preparations according to your theory, and we can start the first round of experimental verification immediately."

"Which experiments are included in the first round?" Chen Shen asked.

Deng Ziming laughed, "There are two experiments in total, both related to DNA nanotechnology."

Chen Shen immediately thought: "That should be DNA template printing and assembly?"

"That's right!" The two led the team behind them, passed through numerous checkpoints, and entered the laboratory wearing industrial dustproof suits.

The laboratory is very spacious, and a whole small chip production line can be placed in it. The standards of construction are exactly the same as those of general chip production workshops.

The members of the core team of the research institute have all assembled at this time, and everyone is looking at the machines in the experimental area ahead.

Seeing Chen Shen coming in, Academician Liu, the director of the research institute, led the research team up.

Even though everyone was wearing dust-proof clothing, and their mouths, eyes and bodies were tightly packed, Academician Liu recognized Chen Shen in the crowd at first glance, and he stretched out his hands excitedly: "Master Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Big name!"

Chen Shen didn't dare to be negligent, and also stretched out his hands. After the first meeting, the two of them set their eyes on the machine in front of them.

There are a total of two machines in front of them. They look like two large boxes taller than a person, with square edges and a transparent panel on the outside, allowing you to see part of the machine's internal operating status.

And through the transparent part, you can see that the machine is loaded with various solutions, which looks a lot like a witch's potion.

Academician Liu brought Chen Shen closer, and introduced himself beside him: "These two machines are the first-generation experimental machines we have developed. The one on the left is responsible for printing DNA templates, and the one next to it is a printing machine. Taiwan is an assembly machine responsible for the automatic assembly of carbon nanotubes."

"We just put the wafer into these two machines, and the machine will put the wafer into the solution inside, and then the wafer will react with the solution according to the design, so as to produce the pattern we designed, or according to the design. Our requirements assemble carbon nanotubes."

These two machines all use Chen Shen's technology, Academician Liu even gave up his original dimensional self-assembly technology, this is to maintain the unity of the production process.

His self-assembly technology is not well integrated with the process proposed by Chen Shen.

Deng Ziming came over and said, "Before we received your proposal, we never thought that DNA nanotechnology would be applied to the chip production process so soon. Especially your DNA self-assembly technology, if you change the direction, maybe You can develop medical nano-robots, but I don’t know if you are interested in that.”

Deng Ziming smiled and looked at Chen Shen. He was quite well informed about the news in the country. He knew that the young man in front of him would only conduct research that he was interested in. He seemed to have jumped out of the Five Elements and was no longer in the Three Realms.

Chen Shen shook his head, "DNA self-assembly technology does have some references for medical nano-robots. If I have time in the future, maybe I will really work in this direction."

DNA self-assembly technology is to use DNA strands as a transport tool to send carbon nanotubes to the designated position on the chip. This technology is similar to the idea that medical nanorobots enter the human body and capture specific cell viruses.

Of course, these two technologies are completely different, but some of the principles may be common.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was opened again, Chen Shen turned his eyes, and a person was pushing a cart of wafers, walking slowly.

"Those are the first batch of special wafers we received from the fab." Academician Liu introduced.

The foundation of a chip is the wafer, and without the wafer, the chip would have no foundation.

The wafers of carbon-based chips are different from silicon-based chips. Now it seems that the fab has successfully completed their tasks.

The wafers are pushed to the front of the feed port of the assembly machine and the printing machine respectively, and then put into the two machines by the on-site engineers according to the regulations.

It can be seen from the transparent window on the outside that after the wafer is put into the machine, it is sequentially placed into various solution grooves for soaking, and after the set time is reached, it is changed from this groove to another groove .

Between these solution conversions, the surface of the wafer is reacting with these special solutions, and some changes that are invisible to the naked eye are slowly occurring as designed...

Unlike the silicon-based production process that focuses on physical processes, the current carbon-based chip production process focuses more on the biochemical level, as evidenced by the two machines in front of us.

The most important thing in these two machines is the special solution they fill. Only when these solutions react with the wafer surface can qualified wafers be processed. The machine itself is not important, as long as it maintains stable operation.

Everyone waiting outside the experimental area felt like a big rock was hanging in their hearts. This was the first time they had integrated various steps for an experiment, and it was also the first machine experiment.

The previous experiments were all carried out manually. If the two machines are successfully run this time, then the first stage of carbon-based chip industrialization can be considered a success. In the future, these two process steps only need to modify these two machines just fine.

In just two minutes, the wafers sent in had soaked all the solutions, and were sent out under the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Quickly, look at the assembly of the carbon tubes, and put the wafers sent out from the printing machine into the ion etching machine." Academician Liu quickly commanded.

The people at the scene immediately became busy, escorting two wafers like stars holding the moon, one of which was sent to the side for manual inspection, and the other was sent to the etching machine for reprocessing.

The test was held on the spot. After some operations on the workbench, the testers turned around suddenly, and then an excited voice came over: "There is no problem with the assembly of carbon nanotubes, and it is in full compliance with the design expectations!"
