Zhongjuxin Wins the First Integrated Circuit Materials Award

Bringing together 600 Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs, experts, and scholars from the industrial chain, the “2020 China Semiconductor Materials Innovation and Development Conference,” themed on new trends, new challenges, and new breakthroughs, was grandly held from September 14 to 16 in Hefei, Anhui Province. The conference also hosted the inaugural IC Materials Awards ceremony, during which Zhongjuxin Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongjuxin”), an associate vice-chairman unit of the alliance, was awarded the “Best Growth Award.” Furthermore, the high-purity hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid products manufactured by Zhongjuxin—used in integrated circuit manufacturing—were honored with the “Five-Star Product” award.

As a vice-chairman unit of the Integrated Circuit Materials Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, Zhongjuxin focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of electronic chemical materials for semiconductors. Its business covers three major segments: electronic wet chemicals, electronic gases, and chemical precursor materials. The company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Zhejiang Borei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Kaisheng Fluorine Chemical Co., Ltd.

Kai Sheng Flu Founded in 2003, Chemi focuses on electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, ammonia solution, BOE, and poly-etching solutions for the integrated circuit industry. Today, its products are widely supplied to both 12-inch and 8-inch wafer fabs. The electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and ammonia solution produced by Kaisheng Fluorochemical all meet UPSSS grade standards (corresponding to SEMI Grade 5). The electronic-grade hydrofluoric acid that recently received the “Five-Star Product” award is suitable for 1x-nanometer processes in 12-inch fabs (referring to processes at or above 10 nm but below 20 nm). In addition to domestic supply, significant quantities are also exported to overseas markets. The electronic-grade sulfuric acid is suitable for 28-nanometer processes in 12-inch fabs. The electronic-grade nitric acid, which has been awarded the “Five-Star Product” honor, holds a domestic market share exceeding 90% and can be used in both 8-inch and 12-inch wafer fabs.

Borui Electronics Founded in 2014, the company has already begun production of 1,000 tons per year of high-purity chlorine gas and 1,500 tons per year of high-purity hydrogen chloride gas, which are widely used in fields such as integrated circuits, display panels, optical fibers, and LEDs. This year, the company will also start producing several fluorine-containing organic etching gases, including octafluoropropane, octafluorocyclopentene, and hexafluorobutadiene. In December 2018, Borui Electronics jointly established Borui Zhongxiao Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhongxiao Borui Trading Co., Ltd. with Japan Chuo Glass Co., Ltd., a company that boasts advanced technology for producing high-purity electronic gases and extensive experience in customer service. The two companies are jointly investing in the production of 400 tons per year of tungsten hexafluoride gas at Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, and production is set to begin this year.

Guided by customer needs, Zhongjuxin continuously improves its management in safety, production, and product quality; invests in the research and development of new products and services; and is committed to making every detail solid and perfect, thereby building a responsible and reliable enterprise that employees can trust, customers can depend on, and shareholders can feel at ease about. Looking ahead, Zhongjuxin will remain true to its original aspiration, always maintain its passion, pursue excellence relentlessly, and strive to provide customers with professional, comprehensive solutions, working together to create a brighter future.
