Caidao and National 3rd generation semiconductor Tech. Innovation Center Signed the strategic cooperation agreement of AFM

"Vigorously develop the third generation semiconductor" is the national key industrial policy since the 12th Five-Year Plan ". From scientific research to industrialization, the state has invested huge financial resources to promote the development of China's third-generation semiconductor industry and the import substitution of the industrial chain. At present, compared with the technical level of the overall industry and Japan and the United States, the gap is gradually narrowing, which is the most promising field to catch up.

The third generation semiconductor in the upstream of the industry chain —— material field is not worse than foreign, and some even better than them. In the downstream market of the industrial chain, our domestic demand is the largest. What we lack is the intermediate production and manufacturing link. Once the intermediate link keeps up with the equipment and technology, we will truly form the ability of localization and optimization and iteration of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industry, and the development will soon surpass foreign countries.

The third generation of semiconductor research institute in Jiangsu province in March 2021, the Ministry of Science and Technology approved construction "national third generation of semiconductor technology innovation center", aims to focus on the third generation of semiconductor industry chain key core technology, through building production with integration of public service platform, build the third generation of semiconductor core equipment domestic alternative industry verification, for the third generation of semiconductor industry development power.

Atomic force microscope is an essential detection equipment in the third generation semiconductor manufacturing, because the surface roughness of compound semiconductor wafer is 0.3-0.5 nm, only atomic force microscope can meet the requirements of detection accuracy in this range.

Caidao Precision has signed a strategic cooperation with Jiangsu Third Generation Semiconductor Research Institute Co., LTD. Atomic force microscope equipment is included in the verification system of the third generation of semiconductor domestic equipment promoted by the Institute, and the performance indicators are constantly optimized to meet the testing needs of the third generation of semiconductor industry.

This strategic cooperation and the industrial verification service of the domestic equipment will certainly help Caidao precision to improve the various performance of the atomic force microscope and accelerate the speed of entering the semiconductor production line service.
