Recently, Hangzhou Zhongxin Wafer successfully completed the production of its first 12-inch epitaxial wafer. Since then, Zhongxin Wafer has become the first domestic enterprise that can independently complete R&D and production from 12-inch single crystal, polishing to epitaxy.
At present, the demand for semiconductor wafers in my country continues to grow, but the proportion of localization is low. The domestic 12-inch wafers that can be mass-produced are mainly polished wafers. The production of 12-inch epitaxial wafers is currently an important bottleneck restricting the development of my country's integrated circuit industry. New energy vehicles, 5G communications, Internet of Things, smart phones and other industries are constantly developing. The domestic semiconductor wafer epitaxial wafer market continues to grow, but currently there are only a handful of companies that can meet the production of epitaxial wafers in China.
Since the first 12-inch polished wafer rolled off the assembly line at the end of December 2019, it took 12 months of R&D and production. Today, the first 12-inch epitaxial wafer rolled off the line successfully, which not only marks the further improvement of Zhongxin's wafer production technology, but also It also marks that Zhongxin Wafer has ushered in a new milestone for the development of the domestic integrated circuit industry. It also means that Zhongxin Wafer has taken a leading position in the domestic semiconductor epitaxial wafer production field.
2021 is the year of "technological innovation, never-ending, solid advancement, and mission must be reached". In the new year, Zhongxin Wafer will continue to promote technological innovation, improve process technology, and provide a powerful force for the rapid development of my country's semiconductor industry. Support and guarantee.
