Exciting News! Ningbo FLK Successfully Delivers Its First Se
2024-09-08 have read
On September 8, Ningbo FLK officially delivered its latest high-purity silicon carbide fluidized bed high-temperature structural component for semiconductor applications, developed using advanced 3D printing technology, at the FLK Innovation Building.
During the project results report meeting, FLK engaged in in-depth discussions with Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Group regarding the research and development progress of the project. FLK was responsible for overcoming technical challenges in raw material preparation, production equipment development, component manufacturing, and product purification. This effort successfully led to the domestication of high-purity silicon carbide fluidized bed components, eliminating the need for molds, pressing, casting, or machining, thereby reducing contamination risks during production.
Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Group, the world’s largest granular polysilicon producer, contributed expertise in component structure design, testing methods and standards, operational parameter determination, and online validation. After over a year of intensive efforts, the high-purity silicon carbide fluidized bed components fully met project technical requirements. Compared to foreign imports, the production cost was reduced by over 50%, delivery times were shortened by more than two-thirds, and the product quality surpassed U.S. imports. The easy replication and rapid manufacturing capabilities of 3D printing further boosted production efficiency, enabling import substitution and overcoming critical technological bottlenecks.
At the delivery ceremony, Chairman and General Manager Wu Guoping of Ningbo FLK shook hands with the General Manager of Shaanxi Nonferrous Metals Group, marking a significant milestone in semiconductor innovation.
This achievement showcases China’s growing expertise in high-performance materials, reinforcing FLK’s leadership in cutting-edge technological advancements.
