en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 26, the Zhengzhou High-Tech Industrial Development Zone signed an agreement with Zhongke Fenyan (Henan) Superhard Materials Co., Ltd., officially establishing the Zhongke Fenyan Fourth-Generation Semiconductor Materials Production Base in the Zhengzhou High-Tech Zone. This project is China's first full-industry-chain project for fourth-generation semiconductor materials, marking a critical step from technological research and development to large-scale production, injecting new momentum into solving the "bottleneck" problem of high-end materials.
Positioned as an "internationally leading manufacturer of diamond functional material systems," Zhongke Fenyan is a high-tech enterprise integrating industry, academia, and research, with equity participation from Central South University. It focuses on key equipment development, process R&D and production in micro-nano spherical powders and heat dissipation substrates, serving fields such as semiconductors, electronic product thermal management, precision optics, aerospace, quantum science, and biomedicine. Founded in 2022, the company holds multiple independent intellectual property rights and is currently the only enterprise platform in China with full-chain vertical integration manufacturing capabilities, from diamond CVD equipment, crystal growth, epitaxy, micro-nano processing, surface metallization to advanced packaging substrates. Leveraging its extensive experience and strong capabilities in the industrialization of superhard materials and semiconductor devices, Zhongke Fenyan precisely aligns with industrial demands, committed to promoting the domestic and large-scale application of high-end semiconductor materials, providing robust impetus for industry development.
It is reported that the production base signed this time will rely on the technological accumulation of Zhongke Fenyan's world's first LPPHT micro-nano diamond production line, laying a solid foundation for the independent R&D, production, and mass production of core fourth-generation semiconductor materials.
Fourth-generation semiconductor materials, centered on ultra-wide bandgap materials such as diamond and gallium oxide, feature large bandgaps, high breakdown electric fields, and excellent thermal conductivity. They offer irreplaceable advantages in extreme application scenarios such as AI chips, 5G/6G communications, electronic thermal management, Vehicles" target="_blank">new energy vehicles, aerospace and defense, and biomedicine, earning them the title of "ultimate semiconductor materials."
According to reports, since last year, renowned Henan entrepreneur Chen Zemin invested in Zhongke Fenyan and serves as its chairman, drawing widespread attention to this project. At the signing ceremony, Chen Zemin stated that this base construction will drive micro-nano diamonds from the laboratory to large-scale industrialization, with a project investment of 1.5 billion yuan, featuring the capacity of 500 MPCVD units to produce 2-4 inch single-crystal wafers and 50 LPPHT lines to produce micro/nano spherical diamonds. According to the plan, 200 MPCVD units will be operational by the end of this year, with an annual output value reaching 3 billion yuan within three years, providing key material support for "China's chips." Meanwhile, Zhongke Fenyan will collaborate with Central South University to establish the first national-level diamond science and technology museum at the project site.
On March 27, the Fourth-Generation Semiconductor Materials R&D Center, jointly established by Central South University and Zhongke Fenyan (Henan) Superhard Materials Co., Ltd., held its inauguration and signing ceremony in the Zhengzhou High-Tech Zone.
This production base will synergize with the previously inaugurated "Central South University-Zhongke Fenyan Fourth-Generation Semiconductor Materials R&D Center" to build a full-chain innovation system of "basic research—technology breakthroughs—achievement transformation—mass production." Currently, the R&D center is focusing on key areas such as MPCVD diamond preparation, large-size single-crystal growth, and device integration, implementing a "dual-mentor system" for joint training of specialized talent.
