Established in 2016, Paragon Optoelectronics is a high-tech company specializing in the R&D and application of wafer-level optical chips. It is dedicated to exploring the integration of semiconductor and optical technologies and designing semiconductor wafers to create nanoscale products. Low-cost optical chip.
It is understood that the company has complete design, plate making, scale production, closed loop detection, hot 3D imaging in the current market and driverless, AR/MR display, 5G optical communication link, medical imaging, aviation military and automatic security Other areas will play an important technical role.
On the team side, the core group of the Photovoltaic Optoelectronics R&D team and management team are professors and doctors from Stanford University, University of Rochester, Cambridge University, Zhejiang University, and other optoelectronic institutions; former Microsoft, NASA, Fortis Fiber Optics, Soreby, McKinsey and other international business executives.
At present, the first production line of Panyou Optoelectronics will be completed in May of this year. At that time, it will achieve mass production of diffractive optical chip DOE, optical display waveguides, high-speed optical communication links and other wafer-level optical chip products. In the frontier areas, through this round of financing, the company has built a comprehensive network of optics, semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and well-known venture capital funds.
Yuanyi Capital Partners, Optoelectronics Ph.D. Liu Yiran, believes that the wafer-level fabrication of optical chips has made the photonic technology that has so far been put to the consumer sector and will trigger a series of incremental scenarios from short-term to long-term. Predictable, the future In three years, consumer-level applications such as depth sensing, AR, and unmanned three-demand machine vision will take the lead; in the medium and long term, photons will inevitably penetrate into the computing sector, triggering more profound machine intelligence applications. Change.
Wang Lin, an international partner at Walden, who has worked in semiconductor industry for many years, said that with Moore's Law moving to the limit, the development of semiconductor integrated circuits is drawing a perfect 'S curve' approaching the ceiling. 'Integrated light' replacing 'integrated power' will be a The irreversible transformation of the field. Backtracking the development of semiconductor chips, 'nanoscale' and 'scaled low cost' are the two characteristics of integrated circuit technology. Similarly, wafer-level optics allows optics to increase precision by an order of magnitude Reducing costs by an order of magnitude, making the commercial value of optical chips possible.
