Modulaght has jointly established Chongqing Lingyue Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. in Chongqing Liangjiang. The newly established company plans to invest a total of 570 million yuan to develop and produce compound laser chips in Chongqing.
Modulight, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Tampere, Finland, is a foreign-funded company integrating R & D and production of laser chips and related products, providing value-added solutions for optical applications in industry, communication, medical treatment, space and national defense.
Modulaght has developed and produced clinical laser systems, biomedical lighting systems, semiconductor lasers, ophthalmic lasers, diode laser chips, fiber coupled lasers, etc.
Chongqing Compound Laser Chip Project is located in Longxing Cluster, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing, with a total area of 30076 square meters. A production plant will be built and a new laser chip production line will be built, mainly including epitaxial wafer growth, wafer manufacturing, chip testing and sorting and other processes. The main production equipment includes two MOCVD epitaxial furnaces, one vacuum drying oven, two UV contact lithography machines, two electron beam lithography machines, four photoresist coating, baking and developing integrated machines, two PECVD coating machines, two metal evaporation machines, two ICP etchers and two RIE etchers. At the same time, corresponding public auxiliary projects and environmental protection projects will be constructed. After the implementation of the project, an annual production capacity of 46 million laser chips will be formed, including 38 million laser chips with 3-inch indium phosphide as the substrate material and 8 million laser chips with 3-inch gallium arsenide as the substrate material.
Chongqing Lingyue Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. is responsible for the implementation of the project. The construction drawing design of the project has started and will be started within this year. It is expected that the project will be completed and put into production as soon as the first half of next year.
