The Rise of Domestic Asian CMP Pad Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>The 2020\u20132026 period has fundamentally changed the CMP pad supply landscape in Asia. Supply chain disruptions, US export control risk awareness among fab procurement departments, and government-backed semiconductor supply chain localization programs have driven a dramatic acceleration in the qualification rate for domestically produced CMP pads. As of April 2026, domestically produced pads from Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese suppliers have achieved production qualifications at wafer fabs across Asia for the following application categories:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Mature-node oxide and W CMP (28 nm and above):<\/strong> Multiple domestic suppliers fully qualified at leading Chinese memory and logic fabs. Performance parity with IC1000-equivalent pads demonstrated across multiple fab qualification campaigns.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Cu BEOL soft pads:<\/strong> Qualified at multiple fabs for 28\u201314 nm Cu CMP steps. Lot-to-lot consistency continues to improve as domestic QC programs mature.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>SiC substrate CMP:<\/strong> Domestic suppliers including Jizhi have achieved customer qualifications at SiC power device substrate manufacturers in China \u2014 a segment where Western supply was never well-established due to market newness.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Advanced node \u22647 nm:<\/strong> Still predominantly Western-supplied. Domestic alternatives are in qualification but require more time to meet the stringent defect density requirements at leading-edge nodes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"qualification-criteria\">4. What to Compare Across Brands During Qualification<\/h2>\n<p>Brand name alone is not a useful selection criterion. The following technical criteria should be compared across all shortlisted suppliers \u2014 domestic and Western \u2014 during pad qualification:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"jz-table-wrap\">\n  <table class=\"jz-table\">\n    <thead><tr><th>Criterion<\/th><th>What to Request<\/th><th>Acceptable Threshold<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr><td><strong>Hardness uniformity<\/strong><\/td><td>Shore D 5-point map across pad surface, per lot<\/td><td>Variation &lt;\u00b12 Shore D within lot; lot-to-lot mean variation &lt;\u00b13 Shore D<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td><strong>MRR lot-to-lot CV<\/strong><\/td><td>MRR data from 3+ consecutive lots at reference recipe<\/td><td>CV &lt;5% for porous pads; &lt;3% for poreless pads<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td><strong>Pore size distribution<\/strong><\/td><td>Mean pore diameter and CV (%), optical cross-section analysis<\/td><td>Mean 20\u201350 \u00b5m; CV &lt;18% for hard oxide CMP pads<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td><strong>Post-CMP defect data<\/strong><\/td><td>KLA\/Hitachi inspection results on test wafers at target recipe<\/td><td>Meet your fab-specific scratch density and particle count acceptance criteria<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td><strong>Documentation package<\/strong><\/td><td>COA, SDS, batch-specific metrology data, material composition declaration<\/td><td>Full batch-specific documentation per order; no blanket certificates<\/td><\/tr>\n      <tr><td><strong>Lead time commitment<\/strong><\/td><td>Standard and emergency lead time in writing; maximum surge capacity<\/td><td>Standard \u22644 weeks; emergency \u22642 weeks for in-stock items<\/td><\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"supply-chain\">5. Supply Chain Resilience: The Strategic Case for Domestic Sourcing<\/h2>\n<p>The CMP pad supply disruptions of 2021\u20132023 exposed the fragility of single-source, single-geography supply for a critical semiconductor consumable. A pad shortage at a wafer fab \u2014 where the pad is consumed every 500\u20132,000 wafers and cannot be substituted without qualification \u2014 translates directly to tool downtime and deferred wafer starts. The case for supply chain diversification into domestic alternatives is compelling on risk-management grounds alone, independent of price.<\/p>\n\n<p>Key resilience advantages of domestic suppliers like Jizhi Electronic Technology versus Western-brand imports:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Zero cross-border freight, import duty, or export control risk<\/strong> \u2014 no dependence on international logistics or US Commerce Department export licensing<\/li>\n  <li><strong>3\u20137 day standard lead time<\/strong> versus 8\u201316 weeks for imported Western pads \u2014 dramatically reduced safety stock requirements<\/li>\n  <li><strong>In-person application engineering<\/strong> feasible within 1\u20132 days \u2014 faster problem resolution for process excursions<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Surge capacity accessible on short notice<\/strong> without international logistics coordination delays<\/li>\n  <li><strong>RMB payment<\/strong> \u2014 eliminates foreign exchange risk and simplifies accounts payable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"jizhi-position\">6. Jizhi&#8217;s Position and Key Differentiators<\/h2>\n<p>Jizhi Electronic Technology has built its CMP pad portfolio around three differentiators relative to both Western brands and other domestic suppliers:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"jz-card-grid\">\n  <div class=\"jz-card\">\n    <div class=\"jz-card-icon\">\ud83d\udd2c<\/div>\n    <h4>In-House R&amp;D and Materials Control<\/h4>\n    <p>Jizhi formulates its own polyurethane chemistry, controls microsphere selection and loading, and performs in-house DMA, porosimetry, and hardness characterization \u2014 enabling genuine co-development with customers rather than catalog selection. For custom applications, see: <a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/Custom-CMP-Polishing-Pad-Solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:var(--c-accent)\">Custom CMP Polishing Pad Solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-card\">\n    <div class=\"jz-card-icon\">\ud83d\udcca<\/div>\n    <h4>Lot-Level Characterization Data as Standard<\/h4>\n    <p>Every production lot ships with a batch-specific COA including Shore D 5-point map, pore size distribution histogram, baseline MRR at reference recipe, and groove profilometry. This lot-level data enables APC integration and eliminates the need for full in-house characterization of each new lot \u2014 a capability that Jizhi provides as standard, not as a paid premium.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-card\">\n    <div class=\"jz-card-icon\">\u26a1<\/div>\n    <h4>SiC Pad Capability \u2014 Domestic Pioneer<\/h4>\n    <p>Jizhi is among the few domestic suppliers with production-qualified SiC-specific CMP pad series (JZ-SiC-I and JZ-SiC-II) for Stage 2 and Stage 3 SiC substrate polishing. This segment has historically had very limited Western supply, making Jizhi&#8217;s domestic availability uniquely valuable for China&#8217;s rapidly expanding SiC power device industry.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-card\">\n    <div class=\"jz-card-icon\">\ud83c\udfaf<\/div>\n    <h4>Full Product Range \u2014 Hard, Soft, SiC, Poreless<\/h4>\n    <p>Jizhi supplies hard oxide pads (JZ-H60, JZ-H65), soft Cu BEOL subpads (JZ-S28, JZ-S38), SiC-specific pads (JZ-SiC-I, JZ-SiC-II), and a poreless series currently in customer qualification \u2014 covering the full pad type spectrum from a single qualified supplier relationship.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>7. Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jz-faq\">\n  <div class=\"jz-faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-q\">Can a domestic Chinese CMP pad be used as a drop-in replacement for IC1000 without re-qualification?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-a\">No. Any pad change \u2014 even between lots of the same brand \u2014 requires at minimum a process verification with monitor wafers. Switching from IC1000 to any alternative requires a formal qualification protocol: process characterization splits, WIWNU verification, defect density comparison, and a minimum production wafer count before the new pad is released as the production standard. The qualification effort is exactly the same whether the alternative is a domestic pad or a different Western brand. What changes with a high-quality domestic pad is that the qualification is more likely to succeed quickly \u2014 and once qualified, supply continuity and cost advantages become permanent.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-q\">How does 3M&#8217;s Trizact microreplicated pad differ from conventional polyurethane pads?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-a\">3M&#8217;s Trizact CMP pads use a microreplication process to sculpt precise 3D asperity shapes directly onto the pad surface during manufacturing \u2014 rather than relying on a random, stochastic pore and asperity distribution that results from the conventional polyurethane foam casting process. The result is an exceptionally uniform asperity distribution that delivers very consistent removal rate and low within-die non-uniformity (WIDNU). Trizact&#8217;s main limitation is higher unit cost (typically 2\u20134\u00d7 conventional pads) and a different conditioning protocol requirement that must be re-optimized from scratch if transitioning from conventional pads. The technology is most compelling for advanced node applications where WIDNU control is the primary constraint.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-q\">Is Jizhi&#8217;s supply available outside China?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-a\">Yes. Jizhi supplies customers in mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Asia-Pacific destinations directly. For customers in Europe and North America, we supply through regional distribution partners. Standard 3\u20137 day lead time applies to China and nearby Asia-Pacific; 7\u201314 days for other regions. Contact our sales team for specific regional availability and logistics arrangements.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-q\">Which domestic Chinese CMP pad suppliers are currently qualified at major fabs?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-faq-a\">We cannot disclose our customer list without their consent, and we do not have comprehensive visibility into competitor qualifications. What we can confirm is that as of April 2026, Jizhi pads are in active production use at multiple wafer fabs and SiC substrate manufacturers in China, and we are in various stages of qualification at additional customers in mainland China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The broader domestic pad supplier ecosystem in China includes several other players; we recommend evaluating each supplier on the technical criteria outlined in Section 4 of this article rather than on reputation or claimed qualification status alone.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"jz-related\">\n  <div class=\"jz-related-title\">\ud83d\udcda Continue Reading<\/div>\n  <div class=\"jz-related-grid\">\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">PILLAR<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/CMP-Polishing-Pads-The-Complete-Guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">CMP Polishing Pads: The Complete Guide<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">SOURCING<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/IC1000-CMP-Pad-Specs-and-Alternatives\/\" target=\"_blank\">IC1000 CMP Pad Specs and Alternatives<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">PROCUREMENT<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/CMP-Polishing-Pad-Price-Factors-and-Buying-Guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">CMP Polishing Pad Price Factors and Buying Guide<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">MATERIALS<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/CMP-Pad-Materials-Polyurethane-vs-Other-Options\/\" target=\"_blank\">CMP Pad Materials: Polyurethane vs Other Options<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">SELECTION<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/Hard-vs-Soft-CMP-Polishing-Pads-Selection-Guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hard vs. Soft CMP Polishing Pads: Selection Guide<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">APPLICATIONS<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/SiC-CMP-Polishing-Pads-for-Third-Generation-Semiconductors\/\" target=\"_blank\">SiC CMP Polishing Pads for Third-Generation Semiconductors<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">TECHNOLOGY<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/Poreless-CMP-Pads-vs-Porous-Structure\/\" target=\"_blank\">Poreless CMP Pads vs. Porous Structure<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">CUSTOMIZATION<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/Custom-CMP-Polishing-Pad-Solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Custom CMP Polishing Pad Solutions<\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"jz-related-item\"><div class=\"jz-related-cat\">OPERATIONS<\/div><a href=\"https:\/\/jeez-semicon.com\/zh\/blog\/CMP-Pad-Conditioning-and-Lifespan-Management\/\" target=\"_blank\">CMP Pad Conditioning and Lifespan Management<\/a><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"jz-cta-banner\">\n  <h2>Ready to Qualify a Domestic Alternative to Western-Brand CMP Pads?<\/h2>\n  <p>Jizhi Electronic Technology supplies IC1000-equivalent hard pads, soft subpads, SiC-specific formulations, and custom OEM solutions \u2014 with full lot-level characterization data, rapid delivery, and direct application engineering support.
