AT THE RECENT SEMICON CHINA SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY EVENT, SHANGHAI WEICHONG SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT CO., LTD. (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "WEICHONG SEMICONDUCTOR"), AN ENTERPRISE IN YANGPU DISTRICT, BROUGHT ITS TWO CORE PRODUCTS, ASPIRER 3000 AND BRAVERY 3000, TO SHOW THE INDUSTRY ITS STRONG TECHNICAL STRENGTH AND INNOVATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS.
The company's ASPIRER 3000 nonlinear optical wafer defect inspection system can provide wafer-level defect detection, comprehensive test and analysis of coating quality and interface state, yield stability monitoring, and online monitoring of advanced manufacturing processes. The innovative non-linear light source technology combined with the self-developed and innovative sensor can provide ultra-high sensitivity. Advanced software design and algorithms combine high sensitivity and ultra-fast inspection speed in wafer inspection, enabling it to meet customers' in-line monitoring needs in both R&D and mass production.
At present, the equipment has been put into operation, which not only solves the needs of users for several domestic alternative applications, but also cooperates with users to develop a variety of application scenarios. The product shows great potential value and competitiveness.
In the ever-changing market competition in the global semiconductor industry, Weichong Semiconductor is not only at the forefront of technology in China, but also demonstrates the innovation strength of Chinese enterprises on the international stage. Founded in 2021, Weichong Semiconductor is headquartered in Yangpu District, Shanghai, which has gradually become the focus of innovation and entrepreneurship at home and abroad because of its "industry + industrial chain + industrial cluster" resonance at the same frequency.
"The core competitiveness of Weichong Semiconductor lies in the second harmonic wafer inspection technology we have mastered, which can improve the speed and provide customers with more accurate product quality control methods while ensuring the accuracy of detection. The founder of the company, Huang Chongji, said. In addition, the innovation of this technology lies in its application prospects in the field of new semiconductor materials, which opens up new market space and improves the competitiveness of products.
Huang Chongji is a post-90s generation, he has been very fond of electronic products since he was a child, and during his studies in the United States, he developed a strong interest in optics. After graduating with a bachelor's degree, he conducted scientific research and studied for a doctorate in the direction of ultrafast lasers and materials, and devoted himself to optical technology. "After seeing the current situation of relying on imports for semiconductor quantity testing equipment, we hope to break the industry restrictions through innovation. He said that technological innovation is the core driving force of the company, and the innovative method of optical detection of electricity has realized online and non-destructive electrical performance testing, which has become a bright spot in the industry.
As a young and energetic enterprise, Weichong Semiconductor has continuously promoted the iterative update of technology and products in just three years of development, and successfully settled in Changyang Chuanggu in 2022.
It is a science and technology park, but it is more like an open innovation community, and the "people-oriented convenience" of Changyang Chuanggu is reflected in all aspects of daily life. Thanks to the high-quality entrepreneurial environment and convenient supporting services in the park, the company has achieved rapid business development. "Changyang Chuanggu not only provides the physical space and resources for Weichong Semiconductor, but also provides a highly integrated and mutually beneficial ecosystem, which strongly supports the company's growth and expansion. Huang Chongji told reporters.
Looking back on the development experience of the company, from local technological breakthroughs to comprehensive technological innovation, and then to the rapid expansion of the market, Weichong Semiconductor has preliminarily completed the important steps from "0 to 1". Looking forward to the future, Weichong Semiconductor plans to further expand its market share from "1 to 10", and is committed to becoming a world-renowned and innovative measurement equipment company at the forefront of the industry.
Today, with the rapid development of global semiconductor technology, Shanghai Weichong Semiconductor Equipment Co., Ltd. is verifying the strength of "Created in China" with innovation again and again. With the strong support of Yangpu District, Weichong Semiconductor is not only ready to expand its achievements in technology and market, but also hopes to continue to cultivate in this hot land to drive and stimulate more scientific and technological innovation vitality. In the future, Weichong Semiconductor will take Yangpu as its base camp to show the world its powerful power of scientific and technological innovation.
