A manufacturing center with an annual production of 1,200 metric tons of chip electronic grade high-tech silicon-based materials is scheduled to start construction in the Juungar Economic Development Zone in the city of Ordos in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region in September this year.

The project has received a total of 120 million yuan ($18 million) in investment from Inner Mongolia Xingyang Technology Co.

Electronic-grade high-tech silicon-based materials are indispensable raw materials for the manufacture of electronic chips. From chip production to the packaging of the final device, almost every stage relies on electronic gas. 

Electronic gas is known as the 'food and blood' of semiconductor materials and has been used for a long time. 

After years of continuous efforts, Inner Mongolia Xingyang Technology Co has made major breakthroughs in this technical field and promoted the establishment of the project in an orderly manner.

The Inner Mongolia company is a modern technology-based enterprise engaged in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of electronic-grade silanes. 

Since the start of production in 2018, the company has invested more than 15 million yuan in overcoming challenges related to electronic special gas, and has successfully developed six electronic-grade high-tech silicon-based materials for chips.

The manufacturing center, which is scheduled to start production in September 2022, is expected to make up for shortcomings in the production of similar products in the country, and will help China break into the electronic specialty gas market.
