New Progress in Domestic Electronic Gas Materials: GenTech and Tianrui Reached a Long-term Strategic Cooperation on Silane Supply
On July 21st, Shanghai GenTech Co., Ltd. (GenTech) and Shaanxi Non-ferrous Tian Hong REC Silicon Material Co., Ltd. (Tianrui) signed an agreement in Shanghai to reach a strategic cooperation on the market promotion and long-term supply of domestic electronic grade high-purity silane.
GenTech will work together with Tianrui to actively provide electronic-grade high-purity silane products to customers in the pan-semiconductorindustries in China. The strategic cooperation between these two companies will significantly improve the supply chain of silane products. Tianrui's world-class technology and quality assurance, together with GenTech's fast logistics management and high-quality after-sales service, will bring sound value to customers.
Tianrui is the first silicon material company in China with a complete line of advanced technologies and products ranging from ultra-high purity silane to second-generation fluidized bed granular polysilicon, and Siemens electronic grade polysilicon. Tianrui has introduced a full set of REC technology from the world's largest silane manufacturer and adopts REC standardized production process. Thus the purity of the output silane reaches as high as 99.9999%, which can be widely used in the integrated circuits, flat panel displays and photovoltaic cells production. In addition to the complete quality management system, Tianhong REC has an advanced silane laboratory and a polycrystalline laboratory. a. Through quality control means such as production process analysis and testing, final product analysis and testing as well as SPC data analysis, the quality and stability of silane products are fully guaranteed and meet the highest level requirements from electronic industries users. The smooth mass production in Tianrui company indicates that China independently possesses advanced and complete electronic-grade silicon material technology, which is of great and far-reaching significance to the long-term development when it comes to China's electronic materials.
The silane products provided by GenTech to electronic customers can be directly supplied by tank trucks, or in Y cylinder or 47L steel cylinders after packaging. Silane is the most important thin film deposition gas in the semiconductor industry. It can be used for the preparation of monocrystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, heterogeneous silicon and various metal oxides. It is an electronic gas of strategic significance. The consistency and stability of its product quality have an extremely important impact on the performance and product yield of semiconductor products, and it is important for gas suppliers to ensure that the key index parameters of each batch of products are within the strict quality control range, which is the biggest challenge for them. With its independent R&D and innovation capabilities, excellent production operation team and perfect quality management system, GenTech has provided stable and reliable electronic-grade silane products for the majority of pan-semiconductor customers over the years. GenTech has also independently developed, produced and achieved high-purity arsine, high-purity phosphorane and a variety of electronic-grade mixed gas products with high purity above 99.9999%, as well as the key impurity content under the ppb (parts per billion) level, reaching the international advanced level and contributing to electronic special gas localization.
