Recently, the domestic semiconductor silicon material field has ushered in an important layout. A research silicon investment of 400 million yuan has been made to build a large-scale semiconductor silicon single crystal base in Baotou. After completion, the annual production of single crystal silicon will exceed 1000 tons, and it is expected to be effective by December 2027;  Shanghai Hejing plans to raise no more than 900 million yuan in additional funds, with a focus on investing in the industrialization of 12 inch large silicon wafers to assist in domestic substitution. The current global semiconductor silicon wafer market is dominated by an oligopoly, with the five major players accounting for about 90% and accelerating advanced card positioning processes. China is currently in a critical period of domestic substitution, and enterprises such as Shanghai Silicon Industry are promoting large-scale output with breakthroughs. Industry insiders say that the industry has high barriers and long cycles, and domestic companies' efforts to optimize their layout with international giants will intensify competition. The process of domestic substitution will promote the high-quality development of related industries in China

In October 2025, Tiancheng Semiconductor announced a major breakthrough in the research and development of 12 inch silicon carbide. Relying on self-developed long crystal equipment, it successfully produced high-purity semi insulating and N-type 12 inch SiC single crystals. The effective thickness of N-type crystals exceeded 35mm, and the self-developed equipment can produce a maximum of 350mm single crystals. At the same time, it has mastered the mature preparation process of two types of single crystals.  The enterprise was established in 2021, deeply engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of silicon carbide substrates and long crystal equipment, with a clear pace of technological iteration: achieving small batch production of 6-inch SiC ingots by 2022; Breakthrough 8-inch technology by 2023; By 2024, achieve 8-inch mass production with thickness uniformity error controlled within 2 microns. By July 2025, we have taken the lead in conquering the core process of 12 inch N-type SiC, innovating the resistance furnace process to break through the bottleneck of growth rate in the industry, significantly reducing the density of microtubes, and achieving a yield rate of 65%. At present, the company has established a complete production line from single crystal furnace, powder preparation to large-scale crystal growth and processing, achieving independent and controllable SiC full process technology, and consolidating the core competitiveness of the localization of third-generation semiconductor substrates

Shanghai News - On March 25th, the SEMICON China and FPD China 2026 exhibitions, jointly hosted by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI), China Electronics Chamber of Commerce, and other institutions, officially opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As the largest and most influential semiconductor and display industry event in the Asia-Pacific region, this edition of the exhibition, themed "Crossing Borders Globally, Connecting Hearts and Cores," gathered over 1,500 enterprises from around the world, with more than 5,000 booths, covering the entire industry chain from chip design, wafer manufacturing, advanced packaging, to display panels, attracting industry elites to explore new trends in the industry. The exhibition site was orderly, with prominent signs at the audience entrance clearly indicating the admission process, such as real-name registration and certificate verification. At the same time, these signs conveyed the distinctive features of this exhibition: green exhibition and professional orientation. The sign stating "Non-degradable plastic bags are prohibited on site during the exhibition" echoed the global industry's focus on sustainable development; while the rule "Children are not allowed to enter" ensured the professional nature and safety standards of the semiconductor industry, creating a focused and efficient environment for industry exchanges. The exhibition covers an area of over 100,000 square meters and hosts more than 20 high-end technology forums and industry summits concurrently, covering cutting-edge fields such as advanced manufacturing processes, third-generation semiconductors, AI chips, and Micro-LED displays. From breakthroughs in domestic substitution of equipment and materials, to the iterative upgrading of advanced packaging technology, and to the cross-industry integration of display and semiconductor technologies, the event showcases the latest achievements of China's semiconductor industry in technological innovation and industrial chain collaboration, and also establishes an important platform for cooperation and exchange among global enterprises. Since its debut in Shanghai in 1988, SEMICON China has accompanied the development of China's semiconductor industry for over three decades, witnessing the industry's leap from catching up to making breakthroughs. This exhibition serves not only as a showcase for technological achievements but also as a bellwether for industry trends. It will continue to foster deep collaboration between the global semiconductor and display industries, aiding China's industry in achieving higher levels of openness and innovation in the global market.
