Superhard materials have a leverage effect of hundreds of times on the national economy. Their "leverage effect" in the aerospace and semiconductor industries is concentrated in the fact that they are the only feasible means for processing extremely high-precision and extremely difficult-to-machine materials in these high-tech fields. Without superhard materials, the core components of these cutting-edge industries could not be manufactured.This is specifically reflected in the following aspects:
1、Leverage effect on the semiconductor industry:A、Achieving highly efficient processing of ultra-thin silicon wafers: The thickness of monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon wafers required for manufacturing chips is often only 0.1 to 0.2 mm. For highly efficient and precise cutting and grinding of these wafers, nothing but superhard material tools can do the job.
B、Supporting the micro-fabrication of large-scale integrated circuits: In the production of large-scale integrated circuits such as computer chips, extreme process requirements are encountered, such as micro-precision cutting, grooving, back thinning, and nano-diamond polishing. These precision machining processes can also only be achieved by relying on superhard materials and tools.
2、Leverage effect on the aerospace industry:
A、Precision machining of satellite components: For example, the processing and manufacturing of satellite solar panels require nothing but superhard material tools.
B、Core manufacturing of rockets and aerospace engines: For spacecraft and aircraft, certain components of aircraft engines and rockets can only be processed using tools made of superhard materials.
In summary, the so-called "leverage effect" refers exactly to the fact that superhard materials, as a basic tool, rely on their irreplaceable extreme physical properties to strongly support the development of high-value-added, high-tech industries such as aerospace and semiconductors. This characteristic of leveraging a massive high-tech industry chain with an extremely small volume and cost is precisely the core reflection of its strategic importance.
