Chinese-listed semiconductor components firm Zhenbao Technology plans to invest
520 mln yuan to build an R&D and production base in Guanggu with a three-year
construction period. The site will focus on silicon carbide components,
high-purity silicon precision parts and aluminum nitride ceramic materials and
supporting parts — consumables for front-end wafer processes such as etch and
thin-film deposition. On commissioning, the base is expected to rapidly expand
the company’s capacity and provide nearby supply to wafer fabs in Central China,
shortening delivery times.
