Ningbo, China - November 10, 2026 - China Daily today published a front-page report titled "China's tariff move seen as stability boost," examining how tariff policy adjustments can help stabilize China-U.S. economic and trade relations, strengthen business confidence, and improve corporate planning. Wang Ruibin, general manager of Ningbo Sibranch Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., shared observations drawn from the company's silicon wafer import and export operations, focusing on the implications for semiconductor materials procurement and supply chain stability.
Wang noted that tariff adjustments and reciprocal tariff reductions can provide businesses in both countries with greater pricing certainty, helping them plan procurement, production, and deliveries more effectively.
Citing data from Ningbo Customs, the report said that Sibranch imported nearly RMB 4 million worth of silicon wafers in the first 10 months of 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 30%. U.S.-made products accounted for nearly 60% of the company's silicon wafer imports, while its finished products were mainly exported to the United States, Vietnam, and Malaysia. This growth in import and export activity highlights Sibranch's close integration with international supply networks and its ability to connect high-quality global resources with semiconductor customers in China and overseas.
Two Decades of Silicon Wafer Expertise and a Comprehensive Product Portfolio
Since beginning its silicon wafer import business in 2006, Sibranch has remained focused on semiconductor wafers and related technical services. The company supports research institutions, semiconductor manufacturers, and photovoltaic companies with product selection, sourcing, processing, quality inspection, and delivery.
Its wafer portfolio covers diameters from 50 mm to 300 mm and includes dummy wafers, test wafers, and prime wafers. Customers can choose single-side polished (SSP) or double-side polished (DSP) wafers, as well as different crystal orientations, resistivity ranges, and thickness specifications.
For specialized processes and differentiated R&D requirements, Sibranch also supplies oxide wafers, nitride wafers, metal-coated wafers, epitaxial wafers, and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, together with custom ultra-thick, ultra- thin, and ultra-flat wafers. This breadth of products supports customer needs from research and process validation through production applications.
From Materials Supply to Custom Processing: A One-Stop Solution
Beyond standard wafer supply, Sibranch integrates materials and technical services to provide wafer thinning, dicing, downsizing, MEMS processing, and other custom services. By coordinating these requirements through a single partner, customers can reduce communication overhead and improve procurement and R&D efficiency.
To address the diverse substrate requirements of the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries, the company also supplies germanium (Ge), glass, zinc selenide (ZnSe), and zinc sulfide (ZnS), as well as second- and third-generation semiconductor materials including gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), zinc oxide (ZnO), and aluminum nitride (AlN).
Through professional technical support, batch-specific quality inspection, and logistics tracking, Sibranch brings reliable products, responsive service, and flexible customization to every order, creating a more predictable procurement experience for its customers.
Connecting Global Resources for Long-Term, Shared Success
A resilient cross-border supply chain is fundamental to semiconductor materials services. Leveraging Ningbo's strengths as a major port and international trade hub, Sibranch continues to coordinate global sourcing and supply chain resources while maintaining product quality and improving delivery efficiency and market responsiveness.
The coverage in China Daily's front-page report highlights Sibranch's long-standing participation in international semiconductor materials trade and its commitment to serving customers worldwide. Looking ahead, the company will continue to uphold its professional, integrity-driven, and pragmatic approach; deepen the integration of high-quality global resources; and strengthen its custom processing and technical service capabilities. With dependable product quality, flexible supply solutions, and responsive customer service, Sibranch aims to grow alongside its partners in China and overseas while providing reliable wafer and substrate solutions for the semiconductor industry.
