Accelerated localization of semiconductor equipment drives surge in precision parts demand

Localization of semiconductor equipment is one of the more certain industry trends in recent years. OEMs have shifted more component orders to domestic suppliers, and demand in the precision machining segment has grown accordingly.

Which part types the demand concentrates on

First, vacuum chambers and flanges, requiring high sealing surface accuracy and passed helium leak tests; second, transmission and motion mechanisms, requiring stable coaxiality and repeat positioning accuracy; third, insulating and corrosion-resistant parts in materials including PEEK, ceramics and special stainless steel.

Where the barriers are

The difficulty of semiconductor orders is not only accuracy but also cleanliness and consistency. Post-machining cleaning, packaging and particle control, along with stability across batches, often matter more for long-term cooperation than single-part accuracy.

We invested in clean machining stations and cleaning processes this year precisely to take on such orders.
