Molybdenum market update on March 3, 2025

At the start of the week, the domestic molybdenum market generally exhibited a notable downward trend.

At a time when the semiconductor industry is developing rapidly, every technological innovation serves as a powerful impetus for chip manufacturing. Recently, Lam Research, a giant in the field of semiconductor equipment, announced the official launch of the world's first molybdenum atomic layer deposition equipment ALTUS Halo. This news is analogous to a stone cast into a placid lake, generating ripples within the semiconductor industry. The equipment has been successfully used in the fields of logic semiconductors and 3D NAND, showing great application potential.
