1. Zhongxin Wafer Booth of SMIC Leaders Tour Exhibition

On the first day of the exhibition, the leaders of SMIC, accompanied by Deputy General Manager Jiang Xubin of Zhongxin Wafer and Chen Zhiping, Director of Marketing Department, visited the booth of Zhongxin Wafer and witnessed the first 12-inch 450kg semiconductor monocrystalline silicon rod exhibited. Fully affirmed Zhongxin Wafer's continuous breakthroughs in the field of technological innovation!

2.Keynote Speech on "Domestic Large Wafer Market and Technology Development"

At this conference and forum, Dr. Gao Hongtao, director of the Wafer Technology Department of Zhongxin, was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Domestic Large Wafer Market and Technology Development Status and Prospects", full of dry goods and full audience.

In recent years, the semiconductor market demand has increased significantly, but the shortage of chips is still a common problem in the industry. The scale of global semiconductor materials will increase by 6% in 2021, reaching 58.7 billion U.S. dollars. Semiconductor silicon wafers account for 37%, which is approximately 21.7 billion U.S. dollars. According to the shipment situation of silicon wafers of various sizes, the market share of 12-inch silicon wafers has gradually increased, and currently accounts for 69% of the total shipments. The demand for 8-inch and below silicon wafers is relatively stable.

More Moore (MM) and More than Moore (MtM) are two different semiconductor technology paths, and the target end applications are also very different. For example, the MM technology path is mainly used in storage, logic, micro-devices, etc., while the MtM technology path is mainly used For simulation, discrete devices, sensors, etc., different requirements are also put forward for the production of upstream silicon wafer materials. As one of the leading companies in domestic large silicon wafers, Zhongxin Wafer can provide 12-inch COP-FREE large silicon wafers and annealing wafers for the MM technology path, and can also produce 12-inch epitaxial wafers for the MtM technology path. The development of heavily doped arsenic substrates & heavily doped red phosphorus substrates is particularly worthy of attention.
