This means that in the Asia-Pacific region, China is the first country to produce ultra-large-size molybdenum targets for semiconductors. At the same time, it also marks China's breaking of Europe's monopoly on this core technology. It should be noted that before this, due to the limitations of production equipment and core technology, China needs to import a large number of ultra-large-scale high-end molybdenum targets from abroad every year. In other words, China still has a technical gap on the G6 super-large-size high-end molybdenum target, which needs to be filled in time.
