In early November 2018, at the National Museum, during the large-scale exhibition “Great Transformation—Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up,” 12-inch ultra-high-purity NiPt targets and 12-inch ultra-high-purity Co targets—developed under the key special project “Technological Advancement and Industrialization of Key Basic Materials” supported by the National Key R&D Program—made a stunning appearance. These breakthroughs mark a significant milestone achieved through independent research and development in China’s critical basic materials field for integrated circuits. In semiconductor devices, NiPt alloy targets and Co targets with ferromagnetic properties are used to fabricate Schottky diodes.
Technology and Materials—Concerns Over the Development of China’s Chip Manufacturing
China’s semiconductor industry faces numerous obstacles in the development of advanced materials production. In China, foreign companies still remain the primary producers of advanced semiconductors, materials, and components. The photo shows an Intel factory in the United States. The technology for removing particles no larger than 1 nanometer from solutions will soon become one of the essential technologies for manufacturing next-generation chips in the semiconductor industry. China will also master this technology. At a recent conference, Zhang Yingmin, President of Hangzhou Kebote Filtration Equipment Co., Ltd., stated that Kebote is already capable of selling systems that can filter particles as small as 2 nanometers and can even achieve filtration of 1-nanometer particles. Zhang emphasized that, in addition to Chinese customers, Kebote...
