Chinese mainland sapphire substrate the plant being overweight invested patterned sapphire substrates (PSS) development. Traditional plane (Plane) sapphire substrate prices plunged, the sapphire substrate manufacturers in mainland China are aggressively purchasing lithography (Lithography) and etching (Etching) machine to improve the PSS capacity to move up the product gross margin.
International Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) sapphire substrate manufacturers in mainland China are actively expand PSS annual production capacity, prompting PSS overall annual production capacity of rapid rise in total output in 2012 is expected to more than ten million, much higher than the traditional plane sapphire substrate the production capacity of 2.5 million. Total capacity 2014 PSS will have around twenty million or more the traditional plane sapphire substrate production is less than 2.5 million.
Accordance with SEMI China Statistics 2 inches conventional planar sapphire substrate Price from a peak of $ 35 in 2010 quickly dropping to U.S. $ 9.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. , Under continued coming into the market in mainland China sapphire new entrants, the price back up little space in the future.
SEMI pointed out that the focus on the traditional plane sapphire substrate unit price plummeting, prompting the sapphire substrate plant to expedite the start of the expansion of the PSS production can layout, as Sintek technology, Dong Jing Bo Lanter Suzhou sea platinum, crystal, Hefei Crystal Bridge, Ke Ruisi photoelectric have switched to vigorously expand production capacity, and a tremendous business opportunities for lithography and etching the two PSS production equipment suppliers.
