Application of precision ceramics in semiconductor and new energy fields

Today’s world has witnessed unprecedented changes and accelerated evolution. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has made rapid progress. Scientific and technological innovation has become the main battlefield of the international strategic game. The competition around the commanding heights of science and technology is unprecedented fierce.

Precision ceramics are a kind of high-tech materials that are developing rapidly in the world at present. The main components of this kind of ceramics are silicon carbide, silicon nitride, zirconia, beryllium oxide, boron nitride, titanium oxide, etc., with excellent performance and increasingly diverse types.

Precise ceramic materials are an important part of new materials, which are widely used in high-tech fields such as communications, electronics, aviation, aerospace, military and so on. They are also getting more and more applications in new energy and semiconductor industries.

The new energy field includes new energy electric vehicles, lithium battery ceramic diaphragms, photovoltaic and wind power, and more and more ceramic materials are used. Oxide and non-oxide ceramic materials combined by ionic bonds and covalent bonds, due to their excellent thermal, mechanical and electrical properties, are widely used in the fields of new energy vehicles, semiconductor equipment, photovoltaic and wind power. It is expected that their market size will exceed tens of billions in 2025.

In recent years, the semiconductor industry has developed rapidly, the scale of the industry has increased rapidly, and the semiconductor manufacturing equipment continues to evolve towards precision and complexity. The technical requirements for key components of high-precision ceramics are also increasing. The value of high-precision ceramic components accounts for more than 15% of the semiconductor equipment, and the global market is about 10 billion dollars, which is almost completely monopolized by foreign enterprises such as the United States, Japan, and South Korea.

Third generation semiconductor materials; Precision ceramic parts for semiconductor equipment (such as lithography machine, plasma etching machine, ion implanter, heat treatment furnace, diffusion furnace, CVD equipment); Ceramic bearings for new energy vehicles and wind power, metallization of insulating ceramics, ceramic sensors, semiconductor power devices and packaging; Nano ceramic powder, new process for preparation of high-performance ceramics, new equipment for sintering, application of new materials and technology and development of industrial chain applied in semiconductor new energy industry.

Precision ceramics provide a valuable opportunity for the upstream and downstream enterprises of the semiconductor industry and new energy vehicles to communicate with each other, and solve the bottleneck problem that restricts the development of precision ceramic materials and key parts industries in the semiconductor and new energy fields.
