Recently, as a small number of domestically focused on the development and production of high-power semiconductor laser chips, Shenzhen Ruibo Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has just completed the joint investment by Safford Fund and Shenzhen Venture Capital, and Beijing Collaborative Innovation Jingfu Investment Fund has invested 65 million yuan. Round financing.
This is also the first round of financing completed by Ruibo Optoelectronics following the 2012 Angel Wheel. The participation of this round of star-rated VCs also marks that the laser chip field has become one of the areas of high capital concern, and Ruibo Optoelectronics has undoubtedly become the field. A representative new venture.
It is understood that Shenzhen Ruibo Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. was established in 2011. It is a high-tech enterprise engaged in the research and development and production of high-end semiconductor laser chips jointly established by Shenzhen Tsinghua University Research Institute and domestic and foreign technical experts. It has epitaxial design and materials from semiconductor laser chips. , manufacturing process, chip packaging, characterization testing and other core technologies, can provide high-performance, high-reliability high-power semiconductor laser chips, package modules and test characterization equipment, and provide research and development consulting services.
The technical threshold of high-power laser chips is extremely high. After five years of research and development, Ruibo Optoelectronics solved the chip yield and reliability problems and successfully mass-produced at the end of 2016. At present, the company's mass production of chip products includes single-tube chips. (single-emitter) and bar, power from watts to hundreds of watts, wavelengths covering visible to near-infrared, wavelengths including 635nm, 808nm, 880nm, 905nm, 915nm, 940nm, 976nm, 1470nm/1550nm, etc., output power They all reach the domestic leading level and can replace imported high-end laser chips; package products include C-Mount, COS (Chip on Submount), BOS (Bar on Submount) and CCP;
Another major advantage of Ruibo Optoelectronics is the independent research and development of a variety of semiconductor laser characterization test equipment, a full range, high degree of automation, including Bar comprehensive performance testing machine, Full-bar comprehensive performance testing machine, COS comprehensive performance testing machine, semiconductor laser fiber Coupling module comprehensive performance testing machine, high-power semiconductor laser chip device aging/life testing machine, etc. These devices play an important role in improving the performance, reliability and life of Ruibo Optoelectronics. At present, in addition to Ripple's own production line application , Ruibo Optoelectronics began to sell to downstream customers and peers, greatly improving the technology and testing level of the entire industry, contributing to the development of the industry.
At present, Ruibo Optoelectronics' products are widely used in industrial processing, optical communication, medical beauty, laser display, laser ranging radar, scientific research and defense. The company's development goal is to fill China's gap in the field of high-power semiconductor laser chips and become world-class. A supplier of semiconductor lasers, contributing to China's modern production and scientific research.
At present, Ruibo Optoelectronics' products are in short supply in the market, and the production capacity is far from enough to meet the needs of the market. This round of round A financing will be mainly used to expand production capacity and research and development of new products.
As the leading investor in the current round of Ruibo Optoelectronics, Safran Fund and Shenzhen Venture Capital have confirmed the contribution and value of Ruibo Optoelectronics in the industry. According to its partners, from the perspective of investment strategy, investment institutions focus on high-tech thresholds and high growth. Sexuality, and is expected to grow into a project for the head enterprises in the industry. Ruibo Optoelectronics owns the core technology and technology of high-power semiconductor laser chips independently developed, breaking the current situation that most domestic high-power laser chips rely on imports, and the stock market has huge Import replacement opportunities; future smart manufacturing, laser radar, 3D sensing, laser display, biomedical and other new applications are bound to give rise to new demands for laser chips, and we are confident in the development of Ruibo Optoelectronics.
Dr. Hu Hai, CEO of Ruibo Optoelectronics pointed out that smart manufacturing, laser radar, consumer photonics and laser medical care are the application markets that Ruibo Optoelectronics will focus on in the future. He believes that these emerging application markets will place higher demands on high-power laser chips. Some processes, patents and testing techniques will become core competitiveness. Application customers pay more attention to product delivery and customized services while paying attention to product performance and reliability. Hu Hai also pointed out that this round of financing will be greatly improved. Ruibo's existing production capacity will enhance the ability to deliver orders, and will also effectively enhance R&D's R&D resources and strength.
When talking about the development plan of the future enterprise, Hu Hai said that Ruibo Optoelectronics will complete the capacity multiplication plan within three years and develop the distribution network at home and abroad. It also revealed that Ruibo Optoelectronics will continue to invest in IT system construction and talent construction; In terms of R&D, we will use no less than 20% of the budget every year for new product development, and we will become the world's leading professional manufacturer of high-power semiconductor laser chips.
