On January 2, 2020, the JSTP Quartz Technology Group issued an announcement saying that the company's series of quartz products for the semiconductor field-transparent quartz base materials (tubes, rods, mounds) passed Tokyo Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "TEL") 'S official certification, becoming the first domestic raw material supplier to pass the high temperature quartz material certification in the diffusion link of TEL semiconductor process.
What's more worth mentioning is that as of now, only a few companies such as Heraeus (Germany) and Momentive (Germany) have passed the certification of high-temperature quartz materials in the diffusion link of TEL semiconductor manufacturing. high.
The certification of semiconductor quartz materials by TEL and other equipment factories is the core barrier for the material factory to cut into the supply system, and it is suitable for the diffusion link. The certification barrier for high-temperature quartz materials is higher. Quartz products are a key consumable in semiconductor technology. Only after the certification of semiconductor equipment manufacturers such as TEL, AMAT, LAM, etc. can material factories and processing plants enter the mainstream semiconductor supply chain system. Whether the product certification is passed is whether the downstream can release large-scale core elements.
Before JSTP passed the Tokyo Electronics Technology Association (TEL) certification, only 5 companies in the world passed the TEL certification, and only SHFL Quartz Technology in China passed the TEL's low temperature field gas fusion method certification system. The quartz material used in the diffusion link in the high-temperature field has a lower hydroxyl content, and the technical barriers and certification barriers are higher than the quartz materials used in the low-temperature field. JSTP is the first domestic semiconductor quartz raw material material company that has passed the certification in the high-temperature field. After Shishi and Maitu, it became the first Chinese-funded enterprise in the field of fused semiconductor quartz materials, which is conducive to expanding the market cooperation space between the company and TEL and its downstream users. In the future, its semiconductor quartz tube rod products are expected to increase rapidly.
Quartz material is an important material in the semiconductor production process, and its quality and processing accuracy directly affect the yield of semiconductor products. The "Outline for the Development of China's Integrated Circuit Industry" proposes to vigorously develop China's semiconductor industry and increase the localization rate of key equipment and materials. As China becomes a major semiconductor manufacturing country, the localization of quartz materials will improve the broader development space.
