Russia has embarked on an ambitious venture to revolutionize its microelectronics industry by producing new composite materials. CNews reported that the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia is funding three groundbreaking research projects worth 770 million rubles to reduce the dependence on foreign electronic components.
The projects align with the nation’s strategic plan to foster the domestic development of substances used in semiconductors and microelectronics, ultimately leading to technological self-sufficiency.
In a drive to establish independence in the electronics sector, Russia is setting its sights on developing integral components for electronic circuits in chips. Further, the industry will see the advent of advanced materials for the lubrication and cleaning of microelectronics, as detailed in the tenders released by the ministry.
With an outlook extending to 2030, Russia’s “Electronic Engineering Development” program aims to replace the need for imported materials in electronics with domestically produced alternatives.
Moreover, Russia’s current plans include the development of various processors and electronic products, marking a strategic move towards completely localizing the production of electronics.
