The relationship between ceramics and semiconductors: unsung heroes supporting high-tech development.
In the semiconductor industry, we often hear keywords like chips, silicon wafers, and lithography machines, but few know that precision ceramics play a crucial role. It’s not the main component, but rather the most solid support in the entire manufacturing system. From wafer fabrication to equipment components, ceramics, with their insulating, high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant, and high-precision properties, have become an indispensable basic material in semiconductor manufacturing.

Semiconductor manufacturing processes require extremely high levels of cleanliness and stability. Metal parts are prone to particulate contamination, and plastic parts cannot withstand high temperatures and plasma corrosion. Precision ceramic materials (such as alumina, zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, and aluminum nitride) perfectly fill this gap.
The core characteristics of ceramic materials include:
High insulation: Prevents current leakage and ensures stable signal transmission;
High temperature resistance: Maintains structural strength even in environments exceeding 1600℃ (alumina ceramic);
Corrosion resistance: Resists chemical etching gases and plasma erosion;
High purity and low precipitation: Avoids secondary contamination of the wafer;
High dimensional accuracy: Meets the equipment assembly requirements of nanoscale processes.
Ceramic components are virtually ubiquitous in semiconductor equipment and manufacturing processes:
| Application phase | Ceramic components | Material type |
|---|---|---|
| wafer carriers, trays | Aluminum nitride and alumina ceramics | High thermal conductivity and insulation |
| Etching/Deposition Cavity Liner | Silicon nitride and alumina ceramics | Plasma corrosion resistance |
| Vacuum suction cup (Chuck) | Alumina and aluminum nitride ceramics | Stable, flat, and wear-resistant |
| Electrostatic adsorption stage (ESC) | Aluminum nitride ceramics | Excellent thermal conductivity |
| Temperature measurement and insulation support | alumina ceramics | Good electrical insulation and temperature resistance |
| Guiding, sealing, and thermal insulation structural components | Zirconia ceramics | High strength and toughness |
It can be said that, from core components to auxiliary parts, precision ceramics are the “structural cornerstone” for the reliable operation of semiconductor equipment.

As chip manufacturing processes advance from 28nm and 7nm to 3nm and even more advanced nodes, the requirements for equipment durability, cleanliness, and thermal management performance become increasingly stringent, driving the continuous evolution of ceramic materials.
High-purity alumina ceramics: purity ≥99.9%, meeting the requirements for ultra-clean vacuum chambers;
High thermal conductivity aluminum nitride ceramics: thermal conductivity as high as 170–280 W/m·K, aiding in the optimization of thermal control systems;
High-toughness zirconia ceramics: used for mechanical moving parts and precision clamping structures;
Silicon nitride ceramics: combining high strength and low thermal expansion coefficient, suitable for complex working conditions.
