2022/05/30
This standard has been formulated to implement the “Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China,” the “Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China,” the “Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China,” the “Marine Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China,” the “Decision of the State Council on Implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development and Strengthening Environmental Protection,” as well as other relevant laws, regulations, and the “Opinions of the State Council on Preparing the National Functional Zone Planning,” with the aim of protecting the environment, preventing and controlling pollution, and promoting advancements in electroplating production processes and pollution control technologies. This standard specifies the emission limits for water pollutants and air pollutants generated by electroplating enterprises and enterprises possessing electroplating facilities. This standard...
The outlook for the monocrystalline silicon market is booming.
2022/05/30
At the recently held “PERC Technology Trends and Development Forum,” experts predicted that by 2020, the total production capacity of monocrystalline PERC will reach 65 gigawatts, and shipments will account for 50% of the entire market. It is understood that in current industrial-scale production, monocrystalline PERC lines with high efficiency can achieve yields exceeding 21.5%, making monocrystalline PERC the most attractive technological solution.
Brine Evaporator – Classification and Main Components of Evaporators
2022/05/30
The evaporator consists primarily of two main sections: the heating chamber and the evaporation chamber. The heating chamber supplies the liquid with the heat required for evaporation, causing the liquid to boil and vaporize. The evaporation chamber ensures complete separation of the gas and liquid phases. The steam generated in the heating chamber carries a large amount of liquid droplets; once it enters the larger space of the evaporation chamber, these liquid droplets are separated from the steam either through their own natural condensation or by means of demisters. In shell-and-tube condensers, demisters are typically located at the top of the evaporation chamber.

Precisely designing high-performance semiconductor thin films with vertical structures at the atomic scale holds great promise for research into modern integrated circuits and novel materials. One approach to obtaining such thin films is to achieve continuous, layer-by-layer self-assembly—where two-dimensional building blocks are stacked in the vertical direction and held together by van der Waals forces. Graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides, which are only one or three atoms thick, have already been employed to fabricate some heterojunctions that were previously challenging to prepare, demonstrating remarkably superior physical properties. However, no scalable self-assembly method has yet been developed that can simultaneously preserve the intrinsic properties of two-dimensional materials and create well-defined interfacial layers. This limitation persists.
Big News! Four Industry Giants Enter the Chip-Making Arena—China Mobile, Huawei, OPPO, and Luxshare.
2022/05/30
On July 5, in addition to investing in EDA companies—the “mother of chips”—business registration data from Qichacha show that Huawei’s Hubble Technology recently became an investor in Dongguan Tianyu Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. The latter’s registered capital has also increased from 90.27 million yuan to 97.70 million yuan, representing an 8% increase.
Beware! Scammers are targeting the chip industry.

IC design companies revealed that, currently, the capacity for microcontroller (MCU) packaging is in the tightest supply situation. “The minimum order quantity has quintupled from the beginning of the year to recently,” driving MCU packaging prices up by as much as 15% this quarter. Demand for memory packaging is also robust—companies have not only canceled discounts for customers but are also dynamically adjusting prices, boosting the performance of manufacturers such as Nanya Technology, UMC, Nanya, and Powerchip.
