Shanghai AI Laboratory announced a breakthrough in the stable production of photoresists — one of the core materials used in semiconductor manufacturing. As a critical material in chip fabrication, the quality of photoresists directly determines chip performance and manufacturing yield. Backed ...

Since China tightened rare earth export controls, how has the industry adapted? According to Nikkei, analysis of Chinese customs data shows that between April 2025 and March 2026, exports of rare earth permanent magnets fell 4% year over year by volume to 58.1 million kilograms, while export value e...

In the first quarter of 2026, China’s wide bandgap semiconductor industry—spanning silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN)—saw a stark divergence in performance. Driven by robust demand from 5G base station deployment and on-board chargers (OBCs) in electric vehicles, GaN RF-focused co...

As China pushes to strengthen its chip industry, Richard Chang, founder of SMIC, China’s largest foundry, suggests that success in semiconductors is not solely about winning the 2nm or 3nm race, with niche markets potentially emerging as a key competitive advantage for China. According to STAR Mar...
