Silicon-28 Market Summary

Silicon-28 is a stable isotope of silicon. In natural silicon, three stable isotopes exist: silicon-28 (approximately 92.2%), silicon-29 (approximately 4.7%), and silicon-30 (approximately 3.1%). The nucleus of silicon-28 consists of 14 protons and 14 neutrons, giving it a mass number of 28. "Silicon-28" specifically refers to silicon atoms with 14 neutrons in their nuclei. The silicon-28 discussed in this report refers to materials whose abundance has been increased from the natural 92.2% to 99.99% (4N) or even higher than 99.999% (5N) through isotope separation techniques.

In terms of macroscopic physical and chemical properties, high-purity silicon-28 is almost identical to natural silicon. They possess the same crystal structure (diamond cubic), similar hardness, melting point, and chemical reactivity. This means that existing silicon-based semiconductor manufacturing technologies and device fabrication processes can be applied almost seamlessly to silicon-28.

Silicon-28's atomic nuclei (with an even number of protons and neutrons) have a total spin of zero, meaning they are "nuclear-silent." These nuclear properties directly endow silicon-28 with a series of irreplaceable key attributes, making it an ideal material for many cutting-edge technologies.

Market Drivers:

To further improve chip speed and energy efficiency, leading global semiconductor manufacturers must seek breakthroughs in materials science. The silicon-28 electronic specialty gas market has emerged as a clear growth driver. In manufacturing chips using advanced processes such as 3nm and 2nm, "strained silicon-germanium" channels prepared with silicon-28 can significantly improve transistor performance. This creates a stable, large-scale, and continuously growing rigid market for silicon-28.

Among the many quantum computing technology pathways, silicon-based qubits are considered one of the most scalable solutions due to their long coherence time and compatibility with existing semiconductor processes. Silicon-28 is the only option for achieving long coherence time. As quantum computing moves from laboratory research to prototype integration and small-batch manufacturing, the demand for high-purity silicon-28 wafer substrates will increase from "gram-level" to "kilogram-level."

Restraint:

The isotope separation process of silicon-28 requires enormous energy and expensive specialized facilities (such as centrifuge cascades), resulting in extremely high production costs. This high price excludes the vast majority of potential users, limiting its application to cutting-edge fields where cost is not a concern. In fields like semiconductors, customers conduct rigorous cost-benefit analyses. If the performance improvements offered by silicon-28 do not significantly outweigh its high cost, semiconductor manufacturers may seek alternative, more cost-effective technologies.

Silicon-28 has been regarded as a strategic resource by major economies, and its supply chain is deeply involved in the technological competition among great powers. The global supply chain is currently being reshaped, and geopolitical instability could lead to trade disruptions, technology blockades, or export controls, posing significant risks to import-dependent regions and companies. For security reasons, countries tend to establish internally self-sufficient supply chains. This could result in the global market being fragmented into several "regional islands," undermining the efficiency of global division of labor and potentially maintaining high prices due to a lack of economies of scale.

Opportunity:

In the context of changing globalization, silicon-28, as a dual strategic resource concerning both future computing (quantum computing) and the current economic lifeline (semiconductors), has seen its supply chain security placed high importance by major economies. This has fostered diversified supply chains and regional market opportunities. Whether the US promotes commercialization through enterprises or China ensures self-sufficiency through state power, both have created a secure domestic market and policy support for their silicon-28 manufacturers. This reduces the industry's reliance on a single customer, provides a window of opportunity for new entrants to survive and thrive, and also creates derivative opportunities for equipment, technology, and engineering services.
