Semiconductors are the core of the information technology industry and a strategic, foundational, and pioneering industry that supports economic and social development and ensures national security. The technological level and development scale of semiconductors have become one of the important indicators of a country’s industrial competitiveness and comprehensive national strength.

With the advancement of technology and its continuous expansion, the emergence of new fields such as 5G, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and smart driving has brought new opportunities to the semiconductor industry, leading to a deeper understanding of the semiconductor industry by society.

Silicon (Si) is a very common element, appearing as a black-gray crystal or powder. It rarely occurs in its elemental form in nature but is widely found in rocks, gravel, and dust as complex silicates or silicon dioxide. Silicon in semiconductor industry has unidirectional conductivity and is an important semiconductor material, formerly known as silicon.
