Under Boss Jia's order, the researchers who were about to go on vacation could only continue to fight and inspect the ASML equipment.
After hearing this order, many researchers in the center expressed their dissatisfaction because they felt that ASML, as an internationally renowned enterprise, and an enterprise run by the most qualified westerners, would never resort to such means. Boss Jia was completely gauging the stature of a gentleman with his own yardstick. He was blindly giving orders.
There was nothing strange about this mentality. In the eyes of the people of this era, the westerners were the light of civilization. They would never do such a thing.
However, they couldn't disobey orders. They still obediently followed Boss Jia's order to inspect the ASML equipment. In less than a day, they collectively shut their mouths.
This was because they found that many sizes of the equipment were completely different from the official description during the first inspection. For example, there was a lens that was labeled as 0.2547, but in fact, it was 0.2560, a difference of 0.0003.
This small size error seemed to be very normal. After all, an error of 110000 was inevitable.
However, this was not a lathe that cost tens of thousands of yuan, but a lithography machine that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially for its core components, an accuracy of 110000 was only the basic requirement. Many other accuracy requirements were at the nanometer level.
After two days of inspection, a total of 13 errors were found that were not in line with the label. These 13 errors were all the most important parts for the normal operation of the lithography machine. Any error would lead to fatal changes in the final result.
Similarly, the data of these three places were copied by Ni Guangnan without hesitation and turned into the measurements of the Daqian's own test product.
Soon, a group of programmers from Bilibili arrived and began to inspect the control program of the lithography machine.
In fact, to be honest, the data problems on the ASML equipment were hidden very well. It required the use of specialized equipment and a lot of time and energy to detect the problems. Normal people would never check under normal circumstances.
However, the program of the device was very simple. The program team only took half a day to remove the entire code. They had already found the problems in the code.
There were a total of 25 hidden problems, all of which were secretly modified parameters on the surface.
For example, there was a data set parameter that was 22.33333 on the surface, but it became 22.44444 during the operation of the program. This made people think that the data required for this part of the function was 22.33333. Then, they copied this data into the lithography machine they developed.
In the end, when the researchers of the entire research institute saw these hidden methods, they were all shocked and sweating. They had no idea that the data they were used to in their daily experiments and work were all fake.
"These guys are too shameless!" Seeing these results, Ni Guangnan was so angry that he hammered the table. If not for Boss Jia, who was not smart enough to find out the reason in the shortest time possible, Ni Guangnan was afraid that he would not be able to find out where the mistake came from.
Who would have thought that all the data that could be used normally on ASML was actually wrong? If Ni Guangnan found the problem himself, he would only suspect that there was a problem with his own design or the material. He would never think that there was a problem with the ASML data.
"There's nothing to be shameless about. On the contrary, there's nothing wrong with doing this. After all, it's to protect their own intellectual property!" Boss Jia didn't have much of a smile for ASML. Instead, he said very approvingly, "If possible, I really want to poach the person who made this anti-counterfeiting system. The wrong data he designed is too perfect. It's directly stuck at the node of the 70nm chip!"
"When you make chips below 70nm, these data will cause the conformity rate to be too low, but it can still be used normally. It's only the 70nm chip that can't succeed. This way, you will think that there's a problem with your own chip, not the data. After all, all the data has been verified in previous experiments and production! "
"In my opinion, even if it's fake data, without more than ten years of immersion in the lithography machine and the ability of a master, it's impossible to design it. After all, the difficulty of designing these fake data is not much less than the difficulty of finding out the real data. This is really a talent!"
Seeing that his apprentice didn't scold ASML but took a fancy to the anti-counterfeiting engineer, Ni Guangnan was speechless.
However, Boss Jia was actually right. The data of ASML was confidential. It could only be used and not taken. Using this data to make his own lithography machine was equivalent to using someone else's shovel to smash someone else's pot. This was indeed a very despicable thing.
There was nothing wrong with ASML doing these anti-counterfeiting methods. The one at fault was actually himself, the thief.
Thinking of this, Ni Guangnan couldn't help but blush, but he quickly returned to normal. After all, he didn't do these things for himself, but for the entire electronics industry of Hua Xia.
A thief was a thief. If he could steal the prosperity and prosperity of his motherland, then everything was worth it.
"Teacher, since the problem has been found, then let everyone rest. Give a few more days of vacation to make up for the energy consumed during this period. Then, recalculate and measure the data. Whether it's the data that has been found to be problematic or not, all the data will be recalculated. After confirming that it's accurate, then use it! "Boss Jia said.
"In that case, we'll have to spend at least another year!" Ni Guangnan sighed. It was said that recalculating the data was simple. They just had to measure it on the ASML equipment.
However, the problem was that a lot of data couldn't be measured. They could only rely on experiments to obtain it. In this case, the time cost was very huge. The equipment that had been successfully developed would have to be delayed for another year.
"It's only one year. I've waited for so many years. One more year won't make a difference! The key is that we can't make the same mistake again. In addition, we also have to be careful. Don't give us a lot of data directly. We have to check it ourselves. Otherwise, it'll be a big headache if there's another mistake like this year! "Boss Jia laughed.
"Okay, it's not your turn to lecture me!" Ni Guangnan rolled his eyes at Boss Jia, but he remembered what Boss Jia said.
After this incident, the Daqian Research Center no longer believed in any foreign technology and data. They developed a good habit of verifying their own data.
For example, it was like copying papers during an exam. After the Daqian copied the answers, they would calculate it according to the way they solved the questions. As a result, they found a lot of mistakes. Many of the mistakes were not intentional. They were mistakes that the Daqian thought were correct.
As a result, the Daqian copied very well. The best result was that the Daqian's score was higher than the Daqian's. The Daqian's score was higher than the Daqian's. Otherwise, how could the Daqian's score be higher than the Daqian's!
