HONG KONG, CHINA, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — “There have been solely two industrial revolutions in human historical past. The primary was the period of mechanization, and the second is the period of digital intelligence. We’re presently on the climax of the second industrial revolution, and the ‘superhuman period’ is about to reach,” “It is a world trade, and it is not possible to develop in isolation,” “The extra the trade is in a downturn, the extra we have to improve funding”… On August 9/11, the eleventh Annual Convention and Trade Chain Cooperation Discussion board of the China Digital Particular Tools Trade Affiliation was held in Wuxi, China. Leaders of a number of listed semiconductor corporations expressed their views on the event of the semiconductor trade.
Jak electronics believes that within the period of intelligence, semiconductors are the core basis. The demand for semiconductors has catalyzed the micro-device trade primarily based on micro-processing, specifically, the semiconductor gear trade. China has grow to be the biggest marketplace for the worldwide semiconductor trade, however there are apparent shortfalls in gear and consumables, which additionally means there’s a enormous area for progress. Leaders of a number of semiconductor corporations, together with China Micro Company, Tuojing Expertise, Fuchuang Precision, and Kaishitong (a subsidiary of Wanye Enterprises), have expressed that they may face challenges and seize alternatives.
Broad Prospects for Micro-Machining
The chairman and CEO of China Micro Company, Yin Zhiyao, redefined the commercial revolution in his keynote speech. Based on Yin, an industrial revolution is outlined by a basic change in manufacturing. Growing a major product that brings nice adjustments in a sure interval can’t be thought-about an industrial revolution.
Yin believes that the primary industrial revolution was the period of mechanization, which changed handbook labor with equipment and gave rise to the standard trade centered on macro-processing. The second industrial revolution is the period of digital intelligence, changing the human mind with computer systems and human senses with micro-devices, and giving start to the micro-device trade centered on micro-machining.
“We’re presently on the climax of the second industrial revolution, by 2035 the output worth of the digital trade will exceed 50% of the entire output worth of world enterprises.” Yin Zhiyao acknowledged that within the period of digital intelligence, semiconductor micro-machining gear is the cornerstone of the digital trade and can be the pioneer and commanding top.
Micro-materials embody chemical skinny movies, bodily skinny movies, single-crystal EPI (epitaxy), and so forth., and micro-machining processes embody photolithography, plasma etching, CMP (Chemical Mechanical Sharpening), and so forth. This has given start to a sequence of semiconductor micro-machining gear corresponding to skinny movie gear, epitaxial gear, photolithography machines, plasma etching machines, CMP, and so forth.
“The significance of the availability chain hyperlink corresponding to semiconductor gear, supplies, and elements is highlighted with the elevated funding in home wafer fabs.” Li Hong, govt director and president of Huachuang Micro, mentioned that in 2022, the worldwide semiconductor trade gross sales have been $574.1 billion, and China’s semiconductor trade reached $185.5 billion, accounting for about 32%. China has grow to be the biggest marketplace for the worldwide semiconductor trade, however there’s an apparent shortfall in gear and consumables, which additionally means there’s a enormous area for progress.
“We are able to additionally do a superb job within the micro-device processing trade.” Yin Zhiyao emphasised. The info he supplied confirmed that 11 sorts of semiconductor gear, together with CCP plasma etching machine, ICP plasma etching machine, PECVD gear, LPCVD gear, ALD gear, PVD gear, CMP gear, ECP gear, optical detection gear, electron beam detection gear, MOCVD, have been all developed by Chinese language college students finding out overseas because the leaders or backbones.
“Within the subsequent 50 to 100 years, people will enter the third industrial revolution, the ‘superhuman period’.” Yin Zhiyao believes that from the period of intelligence to the “superhuman period”, with superhumans changing people, it should give start to the digital life trade built-in with life science/information know-how.
“Innovation-driven, technological evolution, utility traction.” Trying again on the driving power for the event of the semiconductor trade, Li Hong, Government Director and President of Huachuang Micro, acknowledged that since 1994, the worldwide semiconductor market gross sales have fluctuated, however the general pattern has been upward, and it’s anticipated to exceed one trillion {dollars} by 2030.
Li Hong believes that the worldwide semiconductor trade has seen a quarter-on-quarter decline because the second quarter of 2022, and indicators of a quarter-on-quarter improve have emerged within the second quarter of this 12 months. It’s anticipated that the present cycle of the trade is on the bottoming stage. Observing elements corresponding to demand restoration and stock digestion tempo, the trade is predicted to attain quarter-on-quarter progress within the fourth quarter of this 12 months.
With the brand new spherical of trade cycle upturn, semiconductor gear supplies elements will face a bigger market dimension and new challenges.
Li Jinxiong, Deputy Secretary-Basic of the China Electronics Particular Tools Trade Affiliation, Director and Chief Engineer of Huada Semiconductor Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Jituo Semiconductor Co., Ltd., launched that at current, there are nonetheless a number of bottlenecks for native gear to enter giant manufacturing traces: First, gear can’t be supplied and is clean, corresponding to lithography, measurement, failure evaluation and different gear; Second, current gear doesn’t meet particular course of necessities, corresponding to particular materials progress and elimination gear; Third, each gear and processes may be supplied, however the maturity of key processes isn’t sufficient, affecting the yield of wafer fabs.
On the 2023 Semiconductor Manufacturing Expertise and Tools Supplies Chairman’s Discussion board held concurrently on the day, the chairmen of a number of listed semiconductor gear corporations acknowledged that they may seize alternatives and speed up improvement.
“It is a world trade, and it’s not possible to develop behind closed doorways.” Lu Guangquan, chairman of Tuojing Expertise, emphasised that the semiconductor gear trade should be open and cooperative. Noticing the brand new course of wants of the post-Moore period corresponding to Chiplet, Tuojing Expertise has developed two hybrid bonding units, together with wafer-to-wafer bonding merchandise and chip-to-wafer bonding floor pretreatment merchandise, primarily used within the discipline of wafer-level three-dimensional integration.
As a home semiconductor gear elements platform firm, Zheng Guangwen, chairman of Fuchuang Precision, emphasised that the extra the trade is in a downturn, the extra funding ought to be elevated and the recruitment of fantastic abilities ought to be accelerated. Dealing with challenges, Li Yongjun, chairman of Kaishitong, mentioned that to outlive and reside effectively, innovation should be intensified.
Li Hong acknowledged that Huachuang Micro absolutely makes use of the vertical integration benefit of the IDM enterprise mannequin, actively helps the verification of native gear and supplies, and drives the event of the upstream and downstream of the trade chain.
