Hafnium tetrachloride is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula HfCl4, belonging to a type of non-metallic crystal. It appears as a colorless crystal and can strongly react with water. It has strong hygroscopicity and is easily hydrolyzed. It is soluble in water, methanol, and acetone. Hafnium tetrachloride is mainly prepared by chromium powder chlorination method, which refers to the method of generating hafnium tetrachloride from hafnium oxide, carbon tetrachloride, chlorine gas and other raw materials through crushing, drying, chlorination reaction, condenser condensation and other steps. Zirconium and hafnium are co occurring, and the purity of hafnium tetrachloride generated by chromium powder chlorination method is relatively low, generally containing a certain amount of chloride impurities such as zirconium tetrachloride, ferric chloride, titanium tetrachloride, etc. Driven by the rapid development of downstream markets in the future, the production process of hafnium tetrachloride still needs to be continuously upgraded.
Hafnium tetrachloride is used as a precursor in fields such as semiconductors, ultra-high temperature ceramics, high-power LEDs, and atomic reactors. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of downstream markets, the demand for hafnium tetrachloride has been continuously increasing, and the demand space is relatively broad.In 2024, global Hafnium Tetrachloride Precursor production reached approximately 18MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 11,056 per kg.The annual production capacity of a single production line is 1 ton, and the gross profit margin is about 50%.
Advanced semiconductor manufacturing: a core and irreplaceable demand
Driver factor one:
Irreplaceability: Hafnium based oxides (such as HfO ₂) are the only commercially available and irreplaceable high-k gate dielectric materials in all advanced logic processes below 45 nanometers, including the mobile phones and computer CPUs you are currently using. It effectively solves the problem of gate leakage caused by the miniaturization of transistor size. Without hafnium tetrachloride precursor, there would be no modern advanced process chips.
Requirement rigidity: Each advanced process wafer must be used. This demand is directly linked to the production of advanced chips and is a rigid demand.
Driver factor two:
Ferroelectric memory: Doped HfO ₂ has been found to exhibit ferroelectricity and can be used to manufacture a new generation of low-power, high-speed ferroelectric memory. This is a potential revolutionary technology that, once commercially available on a large scale, will generate explosive new demand for hafnium tetrachloride precursors.
The evolution of DRAM technology: In more advanced DRAM storage chips, hafnium based materials are also being explored for use as capacitive media to enhance storage density.
Upstream core raw materials: hafnium and zirconium symbiosis. Hafnium has no independent deposits in nature. It is completely symbiotic with zirconium in zircon sand, and its content is only 1-2% of zirconium.
Downstream applications: semiconductors, ultra-high temperature ceramics, high-power LEDs, atomic reactors.
Raw material costs account for approximately 40%-65% of the total cost; manufacturing costs account for approximately 25%-35% of the total cost; labor costs account for approximately 5%-15% of the total cost.
