Chapter 5290 superconductor
Gordon-Moore, because of this time, the ‘people go to the cold’ of the major shareholders of ‘Intel’, but once again aroused the ambitions in his heart. For Gordon Moore, his life in this lifetime is actually perfect. He started his own business from scratch. After several twists and turns, he finally created the dominance of the microprocessor industry, and then returned home. This life is perfect, even There is a “Moore’s Law” that he doesn’t like to listen to, but it is really awesome.
It can be said that before Lin Feng went to Gordon Moore, Moore was a big winner in life. However, this big winner in life was humiliated because he lost to Lin Feng for fishing and introduced Lin Feng to the ‘Intel’ board of directors. I dislike him for being old and let him stop interfering in ‘Intel’ affairs. These bastards, have you forgotten that without him, there would be no ‘Intel’ today? If it weren’t for him, ‘Intel’ would have fallen in 1976!
Now he thinks he is old and nosy, this is something Gordon Moore can’t bear. Back then, he changed jobs many times, from William Shockley Semiconductor to Fairchild Semiconductor, and later to form ‘Intel’. There was only one reason for this. Gordon Moore liked the dominant position. He has a strong nature and wants to be the best in everything he does. After’Intel’ became the world’s best microprocessor company, he felt that there was nothing to pursue. The company was developing on the existing stable road, so he left’Intel’ and gave the world to young people. Old man, go to enjoy life.
However, now that ‘Intel’ treats him as such a founder who single-handedly led ‘Intel’ to glory, this makes Gordon Moore very angry. Of course, he would not rant, swear, or complain, that was the behavior of the weak. That is the behavior of useless people. For him, he would never choose such a way to fight back those who despise him.
Winners will only have facts to fight back!
“Mr. Lin. I think that instead of buying’Intel’, you might as well buy another company! In this way, from a market perspective, you won’t be involved in a monopoly!” Gordon Moore’s eyes glowed.
“What company?” Lin Feng was curious.
“William Shockley’s semiconductor company!” Gordon Moore said.
Lin Feng was stunned. For this, Lin Feng had heard of such a company when he knew Gordon Moore, but Lin Feng didn’t know what it was actually like.
“Mr. Lin, William Shockley. He is the most annoying person. One of the most annoying people in my life is him!” Gordon Moore mentioned this man with disgust on his face, but at the end he also expressed admiration. Lulu, “But I have to say that the smartest person I have ever seen in my life is him!”
Lin Feng was surprised, Gordon Moore sighed helplessly when he saw this. Tell me about William Shockley.
William Shockley received his Ph.D. in solid state physics from MIT and a bachelor’s degree from California Institute of Technology. Created the William Shockley Semiconductor Company named after it. To say that its greatest achievement is the invention of the transistor.
Transistor is a solid semiconductor device with multiple functions such as detection, rectification, amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, and signal modulation. As a variable current switch, the transistor can control the output current based on the input voltage. Unlike ordinary mechanical switches, transistors use electrical signals to control their opening and closing, and the switching speed can be very fast, and the switching speed in the laboratory can reach more than 100ghz.
It can be said that without the invention of the transistor, there would be no TV today. There will be no cross-age products such as computers. It can be said that William Shockley changed the world. Because of the previous computer. They are all used electron tubes, and electron tubes have high energy consumption. Due to its large size, it can only be used as an expensive product that can only be used by national government departments or large enterprises. It was the appearance of transistors that made it possible for all these electronic products to enter the folks.

“In the beginning, Robert Noyce and I assisted William Shockley in inventing the transistor. We left this nasty stubborn guy and founded Fairchild Semiconductor, while Noyce invented the integration Circuit block, and then we left the Fairchild Semiconductor Company, which we created together, to create what is now’Intel’, and I created the microprocessor.” At this point, Gordon Moore looked proud.
He can say that one person has witnessed the birth of three cross-age products. The first is the transistor, which allows computers, TVs, and mobile phones to reach thousands of households, the second is the integrated circuit block, which makes everything smaller, faster and more energy-efficient, and the third is the microprocessor, which makes the world Really different, let the computer truly become the most important tool for mankind!
“At present, the computer industry is in a bottleneck. Not only the cpu, but also the hard disk and memory have reached the bottleneck. The cpu, the processor speed, has reached its limit. What can be improved now is nothing more than a little bit of speed. Revolutionary progress, and hard disks have reached the bottleneck earlier. Now companies can only apply memory technology to hard disks and propose solid-state hard disks. This is not a real solution. As for memory, at present, it is still Did not touch the top board, but it is not far away. And all of this is related to semiconductor technology! We need to go further and develop a new generation of semiconductors! At present, William Shockley has this technology! “Gordon Moore said, “Unfortunately, they currently lack funds and lack management talents! But many things he left behind have infinite value!”
Lin Feng blinked.
“If so, why is no company willing to buy?” Lin Feng asked.
“William Shockley is to blame. This guy is too arrogant and stubborn. At Shockley, he is the only one who has the final say. He does not allow others to express any opinions. He is indeed a genius, and he is my company. The most talented person I ever met, but he was the most crappy company manager. He should lead a laboratory, not a company! He was the person who made Silicon Valley truly famous, but he also led to his company. The notoriety spread in Silicon Valley. After the eight of us left Shockley, no one was willing to pass over the years. Therefore, although William Shockley invented the transistor and became a multi-millionaire (thousands in the 1960s) Millionaire), it’s a pity that his arrogance, his stubbornness, and his solitism have made the company worse off since his death. Today, apart from the past glory, no one remembers Shockley Semiconductor! What’s more, it is now Micro The processor era.” Gordon Moore said sarcastically.
When it comes to genius, William Shockley makes him feel ashamed. It is a pity that a genius does not necessarily mean that it will manage the company, but he will lead ‘Intel’ to true glory. It can even be said that it was he who led to the listing of transistors, integrated circuit blocks, and microprocessors.
“So, what’s the use of our acquisition?” Lin Feng asked.
“I am very interested in some of the notes left by Shockley. As you know, today’s semiconductors are in trouble. The current semiconductors use silicon as a raw material, but the physical and chemical properties of the silicon element cause its speed to be only It may be so fast. Nowadays, it is said that the computer is slow and the speed cannot be improved, but the core of the computer is the microprocessor, and the core of the microprocessor is the transistor, and the core of the transistor is the semiconductor. What optical brain, biological brain That is a very illusory thing. At present, many semiconductor companies want to change the material of semiconductors, such as replacing silicon with gallium nitride. But I think that whether it is silicon or gallium nitride, there are limits. We If you want real innovation, you must create a superconductor!” William Shockley’s eyes flashed with fanaticism.
superconductor! Lin Feng curled his lips.
“Mr. Moore, although I am not a scientist, I am not a physicist, but I also know what a superconductor is. The so-called superconductor is a conductive material when the temperature is close to absolute zero, and the resistance of the material under the thermal motion of the molecules of the object approaches 0. “Superconductor” refers to a conductive material that can carry out superconducting transmission. Zero resistance and diamagnetism are two important characteristics of superconductors. This is indeed the best material for various electronic products. But I also know that, That is, the first premise of this is’absolute zero’, not to mention that it must reach’absolute zero’, at least it must be close to the temperature of’absolute zero’ in order to have this characteristic. How can it be achieved at room temperature!” Lin Feng said.
Gordon Moore chuckled.
“Naturally, as far as current scientific understanding is concerned, superconductors do not exist. However, what I got from an inaccurate information channel is that before William Shockley’s death, he had been studying superconductors at room temperature, and For this reason, the company’s liquidity has been exhausted, and his copyright to invent the transistor has also expired in the past few years. Therefore, the company has gone from bad to worse. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire Shockley Semiconductor. And I can get him Diary of the company may be able to make a breakthrough!” Gordon Moore has a bright eye, “Our cooperation is that you, Mr. Lin, will acquire Shockley Semiconductor and become the boss, and I will become a shareholder. At least the equity is determined by Mr. Lin looked at it. And my only requirement is that the company must be controlled by me!” Gordon Moore showed his ambition, “I want to create a miracle again, a miracle that’Intel’ can look up to!”
“Deal!” Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
