How to use 制成
制成 is a fairly formal verb used in writing, product descriptions and explanations of how things are made. It often appears in the pattern A 制成 B, or 用 A 制成 B, meaning B is made from A. Example: 这种纸是用竹子制成的。(Zhè zhǒng zhǐ shì yòng zhúzi zhìchéng de.) This kind of paper is made from bamboo.
制 (zhì) means to make or produce, and 成 (chéng) means to become or complete. So 制成 is making something until it becomes a finished product.
Common mistake: Learners often write 制 as 治 (zhì, to govern or treat), which has the same sound but a water radical. Another trap is using 制成 for people changing, as in becoming a teacher. That needs 成为 (chéngwéi) or 变成 (biànchéng), not 制成.
