Zirconium tetrachloride is a common zirconium compound, and as an important precursor, it can be used to synthesize zirconium based compounds, films, and other zirconium based materials. Zirconium tetrachloride is used as a raw material in many chemical reactions, especially playing an important role in the synthesis of zirconium chemicals. In 2024, global Zirconium Tetrachloride Precursor production reached approximately 38 MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 3,564 per kg.A single production line has an annual production capacity of 5 tons and a gross profit margin of about 50%.
Semiconductor industry: core driving force, rigid and high growth demand
Driver factor one: miniaturization of logic chip process
Specific requirements: In 14nm and more advanced logic processes, traditional SiO ₂ gate dielectrics can no longer meet physical requirements, and High-k materials (such as zirconia) must be used to effectively suppress gate leakage current. Each advanced process wafer requires the use of zirconium tetrachloride precursor.
Growth drivers: 5G, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing (HPC) drive the demand for advanced process chips, directly driving the usage of high-end zirconium tetrachloride precursors.
Driver factor 2: Increased stacking layers of DRAM storage chips
Specific requirements: Zirconia thin films are widely used in storage unit capacitors and barrier layers in 3D NAND Flash. As the number of stacked layers increases from 128 and 200 to over 500, the consumption of zirconium tetrachloride precursor per chip increases linearly.
Growth drivers: Big data and cloud computing require storage devices with larger capacity and higher speed, driving the iteration of DRAM and NAND technologies.
Driver factor three: the urgent need for domestic substitution
Specific demand: China is the world’s largest semiconductor consumer market, but high-end precursors heavily rely on imports. With the support of supply chain security and national policies, domestic wafer fabs have strong motivation to seek and verify domestic high-purity zirconium tetrachloride suppliers.
Growth momentum: The national strategy of “independent and controllable” has opened up a huge market window for domestic precursor manufacturers.
High performance material demand: With the increasing demand for high-performance, high-temperature resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, especially in aerospace, automotive lightweighting, nuclear energy, and new energy fields, zirconium tetrachloride precursors will become an important component of these technological advances.
Advanced ceramic and coating technology: With the continuous development of advanced ceramic and coating technology, the application of zirconium tetrachloride as a precursor for zirconium based materials in high-end manufacturing is constantly expanding.
Upstream core raw material: zircon sand (ZrSiO₄). This is the most important zirconium resource.
Downstream applications: integrated circuit chips, flat panel displays, solar photovoltaics.
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.
In the semiconductor industry, zirconium tetrachloride is used to deposit zirconium based thin films. These thin films are essential components for manufacturing various semiconductor devices, including transistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. Thin films prepared using zirconium (IV) chloride exhibit excellent electrical properties, making them suitable for high-performance semiconductor applications.
The deposition process usually uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology, which can prepare high-quality and uniform thin films. During this process, zirconium tetrachloride acts as a zirconium source and reacts with other gases to form the desired zirconium based thin film on the substrate.
The application of zirconium tetrachloride in the semiconductor industry highlights its importance in the fields of electronics and information technology. It is a key driving factor in achieving miniaturization and performance improvement of electronic devices, which helps to promote the sustainable development of the digital age.
