Metal etching processing technology in the future has broad prospects for development, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Micro-nano processing field: with the continuous progress of science and technology, the demand for fine structures and devices under the micro-nano scale continues to grow. Metal etching technology can achieve high-precision, complex shape of the micro-nano structure processing, in the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), nano-electronics, microfluidic chips and other areas of broad application prospects, can be used to manufacture smaller, more precise sensors, actuators, integrated circuits and so on.

2. Integrated circuit manufacturing: an important application area of metal etching technology. In the continuous upgrading of electronic products, the trend of integration and performance requirements are increasingly high, the need to manufacture more advanced and complex circuit structure. Metal etching technology can be used to produce fine circuit graphics, to achieve multi-layer interconnections, etc., and will play a key role in the future in the manufacture of integrated circuits with higher precision and lower cost.

3. Biomedical field: has great potential for application. Micro-nanometer level biochips can be produced for the analysis and detection of biological samples, such as gene sequencing, protein analysis, etc.; can also produce microfluidic chips with a special shape, used to achieve microfluidic control and manipulation, for disease diagnosis, drug development and treatment, etc. to provide strong support.

4. Electronics industry: electronic equipment is increasingly thin and light, multi-functional, the demand for metal etching processing continues to exist. Such as in smart phones, tablet PCs and other consumer electronics products for the manufacture of high-precision circuit boards, metal parts, etc.; in the 5G communications equipment, the demand for high-performance metal etching parts will be further enhanced.

5. Automotive field: the rapid development of new energy vehicles for the metal etching industry has brought new opportunities. The development direction of automobile lightweight and high performance makes the demand for lightweight and metal parts with good performance increase, metal etching technology can be used to manufacture complex shapes and high precision automobile parts, such as engine parts, sensors, decorative parts and so on.

6. Aerospace field: the field of lightweight, high-strength, high-precision requirements for parts, metal etching processing technology can meet these needs for the manufacture of aerospace parts, spacecraft parts, etc.. For example, the manufacture of aircraft wing structure, engine blades, satellite parts and components.

7. Green trend: with the improvement of environmental awareness, research and development of non-polluting or low-polluting etching solution, etching process will become the focus of development. At the same time, companies will also increase investment in wastewater, waste gas treatment, promote the use of more environmentally friendly processes to reduce environmental pollution, in line with the requirements of sustainable development.

8. Intelligent production: digital, automated equipment will be more widely used in metal etching processing, improve production efficiency and product quality. Through the introduction of advanced automation control system, online monitoring technology, etc., to achieve intelligent control and management of the production process, improve processing accuracy, stability and consistency.

9. Customised services: to meet customer demand for personalised customisation will become the key to market competition. Enterprises are able to provide customised metal etching processing services according to the specific requirements of different industries and customers, and produce products with unique designs and functions to expand market share.
