Silicon carbide ceramics: increasingly indispensable precision component materials in semiconductor manufacturing processes
Silicon carbide (SiC) as an excellent structural ceramic material.
How do foreign media view SMIC's efforts to break the blockade?
Although still far from the top, SMIC has become one of the giants of global chip manufacturing, which also puts it in a key geopolitical competition.
Application and development prospect of silicon carbide ceramics in semiconductor field
Silicon carbide (SiC) as an important high-end ceramic material, because of its good high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature mechanical property, oxidation resistance and other characteristics, in the semiconductor, nuclear energy, national defense and space technology and other high-tech fields have broad application prospects.
49 trillion to build 36 fabs, TSMC: ridiculous!
TSMC executives reportedly called the head of OpenAI a "podcast brother" after the meeting because of Sam Altman's ridiculous request to build 36 new chip manufacturing plants at a cost of up to $7 trillion.
Silicon nitride ceramic material
High-performance silicon nitride ceramic materials have a wide range of applications, but there is still a certain gap between China and foreign leading enterprises.
Deformation of silicon carbide sheet
The deformation of silicon carbide sheet is a complicated process, and its deformation rate is affected by many factors.
Factors affecting sintering temperature of ceramic powder
The sintering temperature of ceramic powder is affected by many factors, which are directly related to the densification of the material, the grain growth and the properties of the final product.
SiC, $10 billion market
According to Yole, the SiC device market is expected to be worth nearly $10 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 24% from 2023 to 2029. Automotive and mobility (primarily BEV applications) are driving the growth of SiC. The industry accounted for the majority of the market in 2023 and is expected to grow further by 2029.
