Russian microelectronics manufacturers currently source 84% of their materials domestically. However, 90% of these locally produced materials rely on imported raw components, as the necessary chemical production infrastructure in Russia remains underdeveloped since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The total scope of materials includes 5112 items. Passive electronics account for the majority, with 86% of the 4150 items produced locally. In the micro, microwave, and power electronics segments, 74% of the 947 materials are domestic. The lack of high domestic demand and the high cost of R&D and equipment hinder the establishment of local raw material production.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the MNTTs MIET have developed a development program aiming to replace 70% of equipment and materials by 2030 through 110 R&D projects. The program has a budget exceeding 240 ₽ billion, though it faces a funding gap of 33.1 ₽ billion. Total funding needs reach 123.9 ₽ billion, while only 90.8 ₽ billion is allocated for 2026–2028.
Budget constraints have led to the cancellation of critical tenders, including a 1.6 ₽ billion project for producing single-crystal calcium fluoride ingots. This material is essential for 193 nm excimer lasers used in photolithography. Currently, production is limited to companies like Nikon, Corning, and Hellma, with supplies to Russia being unavailable.
