Semiconductor chips are ubiquitous in modern technology. They are essential in the evolution of various electronic devices and systems, including smartphones, smartwatches, computers, automobiles, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Semiconductor equipment comprises thousands of components, whose performance, quality, and precision directly influence the reliability and stability of the equipment. Consequently, a significant amount of precision ceramic parts is required in semiconductor equipment.   Advantages of Precision Ceramics Ceramics are utilized extensively due to their high hardness, high elastic modulus, high wear resistance, excellent insulation, good corrosion resistance, and low expansion. These properties make ceramics suitable for components in various semiconductor devices such as silicon wafer polishing machines, thermal processing equipment (epitaxy/oxidation/diffusion), lithography machines, deposition equipment, semiconductor etching equipment, and ion implantation machines. The main types of semiconductor ceramics include alumina, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, and silicon carbide and so on. In semiconductor equipment, precision ceramics account for approximately 16% of the total value.     Applications of Ceramics in Semiconductor Equipment Here is an overview of the different ceramic components used in various semiconductor processes:     1.Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) - Ceramic polishing tables - Ceramic polishing plates - Ceramic lapping plates...
