According to the micro-network news, Changguang Huaxin announced that it successfully completed the 150-billion-yuan B-round financing in July 2018. The investors in this round of financing include SDIC Entrepreneurship, Chinese Academy of Sciences Venture Capital and Suzhou Orange Core Venture Capital. After the completion of this round of financing , Changguang Huaxin's 'one platform, one point, horizontal expansion, vertical extension' strategic layout has also been completed.
It is reported that Changguang Huaxin's current round of financing will mainly focus on the company's main business strategy construction as follows: High-power semiconductor laser chip and module production capacity increased by 5-10 times; VCSEL laser radar chip development and mass production; direct semiconductor laser mass production and application.
Specifically, first of all, in the high-power semiconductor laser chip and module capacity expansion project, Changguang Huaxin has overcome many technical problems including epitaxial growth technology, cavity surface passivation technology, device fabrication and high-energy beam coupling. After years of operation, the products have been recognized by customers. Among them, 915nm chip, 915nm module and 976nm module are leading the market. As the products are more and more recognized and affirmed in the market, Changguang Huaxin customer demand and orders continue. In this rapid round of growth, through this round of financing, Changguang Huaxin will expand the capacity of high-power laser chips and fiber-coupled modules, and increase the production capacity by 5-10 times on the existing basis, forming a strong development of Changguang Huaxin. 'Pivot point' to meet customer needs.
Secondly, in the VCSEL laser radar chip development and mass production project, in February 2018, Changguang Huaxin established the VCSEL business unit, 'horizontal expansion', and introduced a number of industry senior experts, set up a professional R & D team, opened a 6-inch crystal Round production line, increase MOCVD wafer growth furnace, step lithography machine and other mass production equipment, step up research and development projects and production line layout to meet the explosive growth of consumer and industrial markets, and alleviate the shortage of VCSEL laser chips in China problem.
Based on the company's mature high-power semiconductor laser chip mass production platform, the company has made rapid progress in the development of VCSEL chips. In less than 6 months, it has overcome the precise control of material epitaxy production, stability problems. And the laser current oxidation limit control problem. At present, Changguang Huaxin's VCSEL chip has passed the small batch trial production, entering the sample delivery and customer verification stage.
Finally, in the direct semiconductor laser mass production and application projects, Changguang Huaxin is one of the earliest projects in China, and one of the companies that mass-produce and sell direct semiconductor laser systems. Since 2012, Changguang Huaxin has undertaken national projects and many The verification of industrial customers has created a direct semiconductor laser system brand. In May 2018, the company set up a laser system division.
According to public information, since its establishment in 2012, Changguang Huaxin has been committed to the R&D, production and sales of high-power semiconductor laser chips and related optoelectronic devices and application systems, with chip design, MOCVD (epitaxial), lithography, cleavage / Coating, packaging testing, fiber coupling, laser system and other complete process platforms and production lines, is one of the few companies in the world, the only company in China to develop and mass produce high-power semiconductor laser chips, Changguang Huaxin in high-power semiconductor laser chips The first to break the long-term dependence on the import of 'there is no core' situation.
In March 2018, the Suzhou High-tech Zone Government and Changguang Huaxin signed an agreement in Shanghai to announce the establishment of a semiconductor laser innovation research institute in Suzhou High-tech Zone with a total investment of 500 million yuan to build a domestic first-class semiconductor laser chip research and development platform. Changguang Huaxin has the advantages of high-power semiconductor laser chips, and expands the direction and field of laser 3D sensor chips (including VCSEL), high-speed optical communication chips, laser illumination, laser display.
Coupled with the successful completion of the 150 million yuan B round of financing, Changguang Huaxin's 'one platform, one point, horizontal expansion, vertical extension' strategic layout has also been completed.
