[Xinjiang Zhonghe ultra-high purity aluminum research and development has successfully reached the world's advanced level] recently, Xinjiang Zhonghe Co., Ltd. has successfully developed ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N (99.9999%), filling the domestic gap. The test and analysis report issued by the EAG laboratory of Toulouse, France, an international third-party testing institution, shows that the key trace elements of ultra-high purity aluminum samples above 6N provided by Zhonghe in Xinjiang have reached the level of ppb (concentration up to 1 / 1 billion), meeting the technical requirements of high-end semiconductor production. The successful research and development of ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N grade provides stability for the development of high-end semiconductor production technology in China.

Recently, Xinjiang Zhonghe Co., Ltd. has successfully developed ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N (99.9999%), filling in the domestic gap.

The test and analysis report issued by the EAG laboratory of Toulouse, France, an international third-party testing institution, shows that the key trace elements of ultra-high purity aluminum samples above 6N provided by Zhonghe in Xinjiang have reached the level of ppb (concentration up to 1 / 1 billion), meeting the technical requirements of high-end semiconductor production. The successful research and development of ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N grade has provided a stable and reliable ultra-high purity aluminum material for the development of China's high-end semiconductor production technology, and achieved a historic breakthrough in ultra-high purity aluminum purification technology.

The research and development of ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N grade is a systematic scientific and technological innovation project independently developed by Zhonghe in Xinjiang. In the process of more than one year of research and development, Xinjiang Zhonghe High Purity Aluminum R & D team is based on the company's unique "customized common aluminum + three-layer purification + segregation purification" high purity aluminum purification industry chain, gives full play to the advantages of the industrial chain and uses the high-quality raw materials provided by internal universal aluminum electrolysis to overcome the key elements and the core difficulties of anti-segregation elements in the ultra-high purity purification stage of 4N-5N. At the same time, through repeated experiments, the R & D team found and optimized the best matching parameters of purification process core equipment and process technology, completely solved the bottleneck problem of secondary pollution in ultra-high purity aluminum purification, and successfully completed the research and development project of ultra-high purity aluminum above 6N grade.

The successful development of Xinjiang Zhonghe 6N ultra-high purity aluminum is of great significance to promote the localization of high-end semiconductor chip materials, indicating that Xinjiang Zhonghe and high-purity aluminum purification technology has reached the world's advanced level.

Fed to Keep Large Banks' Capital Levels Unchanged, Postpones Stress Test Reforms Until 2027
The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027. This move is intended to provide the US Fed with sufficient time to evaluate potential flaws that may be exposed in its testing models when assessing banks' financial conditions under simulated economic downturn scenarios.
