"Clean rooms" for microelectronics will be built in Russia
Russia will build "clean rooms" - large technological spaces with strict pollution control. Such infrastructural facilities are needed to ensure the production of high-precision microelectronics. Gennady Krasnikov, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), told Izvestia.
"The costs of creating "clean rooms" are hundreds of billions of rubles. Therefore, on the scale of the country they are required by a few. But other high-tech industries are grouped around such enterprises," the scientist explained.
He noted that such clusters have been formed in such cities as Zelenograd, St. Petersburg and Voronezh. Such centers will also appear in other cities.
Gennady Krasnikov emphasized: Russian microelectronics should be made technologically independent. That is why the state invests considerable funds in this sphere.
Now, according to the head's assessment, the industry is developing in a broad front. Significant efforts are aimed at organizing electronic machine building, automated production lines. Another important direction is the creation of new technologies and especially pure materials for the microelectronics industry.
