Going back to 2014, Southern Dynasty planned to lay a 12-kilometer "wireless charging section". When vehicles drive on this section, they can charge while driving. Of course, due to reasons such as high cost and difficulty in maintenance, this technology has only been limited to 12 kilometers and has not been successfully promoted.
Lu Zhou: "?"
One person looks at a group of people.
Looking at the chip stored in a bottle-shaped brown glass cover, an expression of shock and relief gradually appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Thunder Lord!"
And with the arrival of the May Day Golden Week, the popularity of Beep Charging has been pushed to a new peak!
Of course, what this semiconductor laboratory is developing is not a monitor or router chip. It doesn't even have anything to do with the "Longteng" series of high-end chips that recently signed a tripartite agreement. Instead, it has something to do with the recent hotly debated chips. Wireless charging technology has a lot to do with it.
It has to be said that this is a very successful marketing. Neither Yida Plaza nor Li Tinghui expected that "lithium-air battery + wireless charging" coupled with the name Starry Sky Technology could trigger such a level of topic. Even the passenger flow of Yida Plaza on the first day of the May Day Golden Week increased.
But even so, the strength displayed by this start-up company with an angel round of financing of less than 10 million is quite scary...
Anyway, it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
No matter whether the subsequent plans will be as smooth as now.
A nicer name
This is the second finished chip developed by the Carbon-Based Semiconductor Laboratory.
For example, in the field of monitoring, and in the field of routers...
"Thunder Lord?"
"It makes sense." Lu Zhou thought for a while. Although he didn't think the name was much better than he thought, he still nodded in agreement, "Then I'll do as you say!"
The first one was used on a scientific calculator and had no special technical content. This one is used in wireless charging receiving and transmitting devices, and the technical content is still a bit high.
Looking at the chip in Lu Zhou's hand, Professor Wu Tianqun was as excited as the child's father, and couldn't stop talking.
As for the third step, it is naturally the ultimate form of this technology - the car can be charged anytime and anywhere, even when running on the road. That is, let wireless charging technology cover more than 50% of the road network in the core area of the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.
For example, when Audi was developing new energy vehicles, it designed a solution to address the problem of efficiency loss during the transmission process. This solution uses a liftable wireless charging system to bring the transmitting coil at the cable end closer to the receiver at the bottom of the electric vehicle. coils, thereby improving power transmission efficiency.
This equipment is like a "photolithography machine" in the field of carbon-based semiconductors. It can process preliminary processed raw materials and "grow" the generated carbon nanotransistors directly onto double-layer graphene materials with special angles.
After several months of hard work, with the cooperation of Shenji, which has high-precision machine tools, Baosheng Group, which has the production technology of SG-1 room temperature superconducting materials, and Huawei HiSilicon and other domestic semiconductor companies, this machine A giant equipment integrating "chemical deposition + etching" functions.
The higher the level of chip integration, the better, but not all fields are so demanding of high technology.
Even car owners who drive traditional fuel vehicles have expressed a strong interest in this novel and weird new gadget. Some people who like to join in the fun even registered as a member and scanned the code to park the car just to check in. Take a photo and send it to Moments.
"… nailed it!"
As we all know, because it involves the issue of electromagnetic conversion, wireless charging technology can be roughly divided into two parts: receiving and transmitting. If it is further subdivided into the functional components of the receiving end and transmitting end, it can also be divided into chips, coil modules, Magnetic materials, solution design, and system integration, etc.
Even if you are using the purchased chips for now, you will have to replace them all when the time comes.
"... Professor Wu is right." Seeing so many people objecting, Lu Zhou had no choice but to give up the opportunity to name it. He looked at him and said with sweat, "Then what do you think it should be called?"
Looking at the soaring number of user registrations, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Soon, a chip the size of a thumbnail was taken out of the device.
"This... this name is definitely not good. First of all, I don't want to say whether it sounds good or not. Our project is not that of Beep Charge. Even to avoid misunderstandings, we can't be confused with them!"
Almost all technical barriers are concentrated in the receiver chip and system integration design, and its profits can even account for 30% of the total profits of the wireless charging industry chain.
emmmm…
Wu Tianqun: "...?"
Lu Zhou, who was standing nearby, asked quickly.
At present, the main customers of these technologies are mobile phones, but with the continuous advancement of new energy technology, there are now also new energy vehicles.
If a few months ago, the carbon-based semiconductor laboratory could only produce "manual samples" with a 150nm process and an integration level of 300,000 per square millimeter, then this laboratory has now been able to reduce the process to a maximum of 80nm. , and the integration level has also been improved by an entire order of magnitude.
"Yes!" Professor Wu Tianqun nodded vigorously and said in a positive tone, "It is very successful. Those who are successful cannot be more successful! I will show it to you later and you will know!"
Wu Tianqun said decisively.
At this moment, along with the sound of gas being released, the researchers surrounding the experimental equipment all let out exclamations of surprise.
Lu Zhou, who was stared at by so many people, also looked confused. He didn't know why these scientific research dogs were looking at him like this.
In fact, when he said this, Professor Wu did not intend to ask Lu Zhou's opinion, but simply said this because he was too excited.
Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
"After two months of hard work, we finally got it. We have to give this thing a nicer name!"
Looking at the data displayed on the computer, Professor Wu Tianqun rested his hands on the console with a look of ecstasy on his face.
According to the plan made by Bibi Charging in the BP book, Bibi Charging’s wireless charging business will adopt a three-step strategy. The first step is to occupy more than 80% of the parking lots of large and medium-sized shopping malls and communities in Shanghai. , the second step is to promote the business to the entire planning area of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, and to large and medium-sized business districts across the country.
But what he didn't expect was that the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Moreover, after listening to it, Lu Zhou felt that it made some sense, so he started to think about it seriously.
A group of staff in white coats were busy in front of a large piece of experimental equipment.
The atmosphere was awkward for many seconds.
In fact, in addition to self-developed chips, Bibi Charging also has many international chip supply manufacturers to choose from. In fact, the chips installed on the first batch of charging pile equipment were produced by major international chip manufacturers.
Researchers: "...???"
At least this time, they can be considered successful!
It's a bit difficult...
No matter how much is true, all kinds of gossip have spread throughout the circle of friends.
Lu Zhou didn't have to wait for a long time.
Of course, you still have to eat in one bite, and the plan is currently in its first phase.
On the first day that Beep Charging went online, it seemed to have generated a lot of buzz.
What's wrong with this name
"Just call... the BB system is ready."
Although this area started relatively late in China, it has actually already been invested in the research and development of related technologies on an international scale, and has even achieved certain results.
But now that carbon-based chips have been produced, Huawei HiSilicon, which Star Technology has a stake in, has also shifted from the "pure R&D + OEM" model to the "R&D + semi-self-produced" model. It is not possible to maintain such good conditions. It would be too wasteful to use it.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Just when Professor Wu Tianqun was about to take away the chip sample in his hand and put it in the library for storage, Lu Zhou suddenly raised his head and said.
In fact, wireless charging is not a very dark technology.
If it were not for electronic products such as mobile phones and computers that have particularly high processor performance requirements, carbon-based chips with an 80nm process and 300,000 carbon transistors per square millimeter would actually have considerable application value.
Carbon-Based Semiconductor Laboratory.
Lithium-air batteries join hands with wireless charging, and the new energy industry is entering the realm of "science fiction". Although not everyone drives new energy vehicles, there is no doubt that almost most people are curious about this new thing. of.
"Already successful?"
Just when Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed by the atmosphere and was wondering if he should change his name, Professor Wu Tianqun broke the silence in the laboratory and said in a dumbfounded voice.
Coil modules, magnetic materials, etc. are all fine. These are not high-tech categories, and there are not many unavoidable patent barriers. However, the chip is different.
"Yes!" Wu Tianqun nodded, as if he had taken some medicine, and said energetically, "Thunder on the ground, a blockbuster! Since our chip plans to go global and shock the world, we can't use this name casually!"
