Introduction At the “New Maritime Route for China’s Semiconductor Forum,” Jiang Xiaojun, co-founder of Chip Rate Intelligence, bluntly stated: China’s packaging technology is already at the forefront of the world, but the lifeblood of front-end manufacturing is still in the hands of others. Lithography machines cannot simply be assembled and expected to generate profit; the … Read more
1. What are Electronic Specialty Gases?Electronic specialty gases, fully known as “electronic specialty gases,” are essential materials in the semiconductor manufacturing process, often referred to as the “blood” or “food” of the semiconductor industry.They have the following core characteristics:* Ultra-high purity: The purity requirements are extremely high, usually reaching 5N (99.999%) or higher, even 6N … Read more
Hello, everyone. Today, we will discuss thermal oxidation in chip manufacturing. Oxides have various applications in the semiconductor industry: Isolation (interlayer dielectrics, etc.) Scattering oxide layers (ion implantation) Adapting layers (local oxidation of silicon, etc.) Flattening (edge rounding, etc.) Mask layers (diffusion, etc.) Alignment marks (photolithography) Cover layers (corrosion prevention, etc.) And more When combined … Read more
Recently, the research team led by Professor Huang Zhengren from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully overcame a technical challenge, allowing 3D printed silicon carbide ceramics to maintain excellent performance even at extremely high temperatures, no longer “dropping the ball” due to high temperatures. This breakthrough will provide strong technical support … Read more
