美商务部长在北卡宣布Sibelco半导体石英材料投资
美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（HowardLutnick）10月20日在北卡罗来纳州格林维尔（Greenville）举行的一场集会上宣布，工业矿物开采与加工企业Sibelco将在北卡罗来纳州建设硅与石英制造产能，投资额达数亿美元。卢特尼克称，石英是半导体产业的基础材料，这笔投资将强化美国本土半导体供应链。
北卡西部的斯普鲁斯派恩（SprucePine）地区是全球高纯度石英的重要产地，芯片制造所需的关键石英材料长期依赖当地供应，业内认为新产能有望进一步巩固北卡在半导体材料领域的地位。卢特尼克在发言中未披露工厂的具体选址与建设时间表。
有关方面表示，项目后续细节将随推进陆续公布，州政府与经济发展部门将为投资落地提供支持。这也是近期联邦政府推动关键矿产与半导体材料回流美国本土布局中的最新一例。
Commerce Secretary Lutnick Announces Sibelco Quartz Materials Investment in North Carolina
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced at a rally in Greenville that Sibelco will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in North Carolina quartz production, Reuters reported.
High-purity quartz is a foundational material for semiconductors, and the Spruce Pine district in North Carolina is the world's leading source. The company did not disclose the site or a timetable for the investment.
Lutnick framed the project as part of rebuilding a domestic supply chain for chip materials. Sibelco's Spruce Pine operations supply quartz used in crucibles for silicon wafer production worldwide; hurricane damage to the area in 2024 briefly highlighted the supply chain's concentration in western North Carolina.
