Do you know? Lithography technology is the super powerful big coffee in our semiconductor industry, and it is now popular all over the world! As the semiconductor industry becomes more and more prosperous, technology is becoming stronger day by day, so the demand for lithography machines is also increasing. So what are we going to talk about? That is the development trend of lithography technology, learn how it will change the global semiconductor industry, especially talk about China's progress and future prospects in this field.
Did you understand? Lithography is the process of making chips more and more sophisticated! As semiconductors become smaller and smaller, the requirements for lithography technology also increase. At present, the most popular is ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology, which can even achieve a line width of 7 nanometers!
Previously, we mainly relied on ASML in the Netherlands to buy lithography technology, and they had a near monopoly on the high-end market. But now that China has independently developed this technology, the results are not bad, and even some domestic companies can already produce the parts and technologies required for lithography machines.
Ever heard of it? By 2024, the global lithography machine will have a market size of nearly 300 billion US dollars! This is not a small number, mainly because the chip market is back on fire, and new technologies such as AI and HPC have joined in. Especially in China, with the support of the government and a large amount of demand, the lithography machine market must be developing much faster than other places.
Do you know? Our domestic chip factories are growing like crazy! Looking at the data, from next year onwards, there will be 15% more production per year. By 2024, our country's wafer output is estimated to double to 8.6 million pieces! Compared to the rest of the world, we're pretty good!
China's breakthrough in lithography technologyLook, our country's progress in lithography technology is really fast! There are a few Chinese companies that have been able to develop high-end equipment such as parallel lighting systems and large-aperture lenses on their own, which makes us more competitive in the global lithography machine market!
Speaking of which, large enterprises in the mainland have now begun to cooperate with some foreign manufacturers of advanced chip lithography machines. No, they built a bonded warehouse for storage and maintenance together. This warehouse is to provide convenient and fast maintenance services for those chip manufacturers at home and abroad. With it, our country's position in the global semiconductor industry chain will be more stable!
The impact of lithography on the semiconductor industryLithography technology is very good, and now the chip production has gone up, and the price is still beautiful! This is really great for us in the semiconductor industry.
The more awesome the chip manufacturing technology around the world, the more unity and cooperation our semiconductor industry will have. We can learn from each other and improve together, and the world's semiconductor technology will continue to improve.
Challenges and opportunities for the future But we have to admit that although the mainland has made progress in lithography technology, there are still many difficulties, such as high technical requirements, difficulty in grabbing business in the market, and so on. Then we have to continue to work hard to improve and increase our own R&D strength in order to better compete with the global market!
Brothers, you have to know that with the rapid development of high-tech things such as 5G and the Internet of Things, there is more and more demand for lithography technology. Do you understand? It's not just our domestic business, the whole world has to face this big cake. Therefore, we must seize the time to engage in research and development, improve technology, and expand the market. In this way, we will have a greater say in the global semiconductor industry!
Conclusions and prospectsThe rapid improvement of lithography technology has detonated the rapid development of the semiconductor market, pulling global technology to step on the accelerator and urging the global economy to sprint forward. China is making rapid progress in this field, and it sits firmly in the chair of the global semiconductor leader, and its potential is even more immeasurable!
Lithography technology is too critical, because technology is going to develop, and the market is getting bigger. We in China and other countries can seize the opportunity to conduct research and market cooperation together, so that the global semiconductor industry can grow!
