Semiconductors are materials that guide electrical properties between conductors and insulators, with equal probability of loss and gain of electrons in the outermost layer of the atomic nucleus, and are easily made into PN junctions. Such as "silicon (Si)", "germanium (Ge)" and other materials.

While there is currently an oversupply of memory semiconductors due to a sluggish global economy, analog chips for automotive and industrial applications remain in short supply. Lead times for these analog chips can be as long as 40 weeks, compared to around 20 weeks for memory stocks.

Specialty graphite is graphite with carbon mass fraction greater than 99.99%, also known as "three high graphite" (high strength, high density, high purity). It is characterized by high strength, high density, high purity, high chemical stability, high thermal and electrical conductivity, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, strong lubrication and easy processing. Isostatic graphite belongs to specialty graphite.

Currently, many semiconductor devices employ mesa device structures, which are predominantly created through two types of etching: wet etching and dry etching. While the simple and rapid wet etching plays a significant role in semiconductor device fabrication, it has inherent drawbacks such as isotropic etching and poor uniformity, which result in limited control when transferring small-sized patterns. Dry etching, however, with its high anisotropy, good uniformity, and repeatability, has become prominent in semiconductor device fabrication processes. The term “dry etching” broadly refers to any non-wet etching technology used for removing surface materials and transferring micro and nano patterns, including laser etching, plasma etching, and chemical vapor etching. The dry etching discussed in this text specifically pertains to the narrow application of processes using plasma discharge—either physical or chemical—to modify material surfaces.

According to reports from German media, U.S. chip manufacturer Wolfspeed is pausing its plans to build a semiconductor plant in Germany.

Homoepitaxy and heteroepitaxy play pivotal roles in material science. Homoepitaxy involves the growth of a crystalline layer on a substrate of the same material, ensuring minimal defects due to perfect lattice matching. In contrast, heteroepitaxy grows a crystalline layer on a different material substrate, which can lead to challenges like lattice mismatch. These processes are crucial in advancing semiconductor devices and thin films. For instance, heteroepitaxy significantly impacts microelectronics and quantum optics, contributing to innovations like Light Emitting Diodes.
