Recently, two more third-generation semiconductor enterprises were financed. Painjie, a silicon carbide power device enterprise, completed a round A financing of hundreds of millions of yuan; Shengguang Silicon Research has completed the pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of yuan.
1. Painjie completed hundreds of millions of yuan of financing
Recently, the silicon carbide power device, Piner Semiconductor, officially completed a round A financing of hundreds of millions of yuan on January 19. Not only that, in the year of Renyin, the car scale power MOS chip alone achieved more than half a billion sales.
This round of financing was jointly completed by China Resources Capital, Hushan Capital (the old shareholder added) and Xinke Capital.
This is the second financing completed by Pioneer Semiconductor in one year.
Prior to that, Huzhou Hongchuang, Zhongxin Fund and Huaye Tiancheng jointly completed a financing of nearly 100 million yuan for Pioneer Semiconductor in August 2022. The funds will be mainly used to accelerate product research and development, expand production capacity, strengthen supply chain security and optimize the industrial chain layout. In 2023, Piner's main product - silicon carbide car power MOS devices will have hundreds of millions of revenue.
At present, Pioneer Semiconductor has released more than 100 different types of silicon carbide diodes, silicon carbide MOSFETs, silicon carbide power modules and GaN HEMT products on the three voltage platforms of 650V, 1200V and 1700V. The mass-produced products have been widely used in electric vehicles, IT equipment power supplies, photovoltaic inverters, energy storage systems, industrial applications and other fields, providing a continuous and stable supply for Tier 1 manufacturers.
In 2023, Pioneer Semiconductor will comprehensively promote the localization iterative development of SiC power device technology and products, and deepen the localization supply chain support capability.
2. Shengguang Silicon Research has completed tens of millions of yuan of pre-A round financing
Recently, Xi'an Shengguang Silicon Research Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shengguang Silicon Research") completed the pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of yuan. The investors are SMIC Juyuan, Chaoyue Moore, Softbank China, Sevenwolves, and Zhongke Changguang. Zhongfu Capital serves as the financial adviser of this round of financing. The funds will mainly be used to increase investment in research and development, finalize domestic-made equipment such as rounding and scribing, and optimize slicing technology.
Shengguang Silicon Research focuses on the optimized processing and process finalization of the third generation semiconductor materials, and carries out independent research and development and innovation closely around the advanced technology of microjet laser.
At present, the company has successfully completed the rounding, slicing and scribing of 6-inch silicon carbide ingots. At the same time, it has actively expanded the technical process according to the customer's needs, and achieved the process extension of ingot seed crystal peeling, positioning edge treatment, end face treatment, special-shaped crystal cutting, and substrate edge repair. It has completed the OEM and proofing of 18 silicon carbide customers.
At the same time, taking the mature application of silicon carbide as the starting point, the company has continuously expanded its business scope, which has extended to customer service in new fields such as gallium nitride, ultra-wide band gap semiconductor gallium oxide, diamond, ceramic composite substrate, aerospace and military weapons, and solved the problem of processing necks of hard, brittle and expensive materials.
