Recently, Wuxi Huachen Xinguang Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huachen Xinguang") completed an angel round financing of 50million yuan, which was jointly invested by Tongchuang Weiye and Puhua capital, followed by Haisong capital and Youran Xingyun. After obtaining this round of financing, Huachen Xinguang will further promote product research and development, key process equipment procurement and Fab construction.
Huachen core optics is committed to the R & D and manufacturing of highly reliable semiconductor laser chips, focusing on the high-end market in the upper and middle reaches of the optoelectronic industry chain. With highly reliable laser chip design and manufacturing business in the fields of optical communication and laser radar as the core, it provides high-performance and reliable products and services to customers at home and abroad.
It is reported that huachenxin optics has gathered world-class technical experts in chip design, epitaxial growth, Fab process, module packaging and testing, reliability and market development in the field of GaAs and InP, and will rely on rich 4-inch InP and 6-inch GaAs mass production experience, combined with self built epitaxial growth, contactless Fab process and other capabilities to accelerate the solution of laser chips and devices used in long-distance backbone optical networks with serious "core shortage" in China, At the same time, focus on the research and development of core semiconductor laser devices such as autonomous lidar coherent light source.
As the leading investor of this round, Zhang Yiwei, partner of Tongchuang Weiye, said: from a global perspective, optical communication is a mature product technology and mature market. China is the largest market for optical communication in the world. With the rapid development of China's optical communication industry in recent decades, China's optical communication industry has extended from downstream equipment and modules to upstream modules and chips. It will be a high probability event in the next five years for optical chips to develop from design localization to manufacturing localization and from low-end to medium and high-end.
The Huachen core optical team has nearly 20 years of laser industry experience, has mastered the core technology of design, production and manufacturing, has strong product competitiveness, and is expected to accelerate the localization and replacement of medium and high-end lasers.
Tongchuang Weiye believes that the technical threshold of highly reliable semiconductor lasers is very high and is basically monopolized by foreign companies. Huachen core optical team has been rooted in the laser industry for many years. It has rich experience in R & D, production, operation, management and marketing in this field, and has mastered a full set of processes and technologies for chip design, production and manufacturing. It is an excellent team with strong comprehensive quality and can fight a hard battle.
Many product technologies of the company have broken through the domestic blank. The company is expected to quickly realize mass production and sales of products and meet customers' needs for better product performance, lower cost, faster supply and better service.
