Jingchuang Advanced has completed hundreds of millions of yuan in B+ round financing, focusing on independent innovation of semiconductor precision grinding equipment
A few days ago, Jiangsu Jingchuang Advanced Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jingchuang Advanced") completed the B+ round of financing. This round of financing was led by Qiming Venture Capital, Shenzhen Venture Capital, Guofa Venture Capital, Changshu Guofa, Jingkai Guofa , Nanjing Xingong Industrial Investment, Soochow Venture Capital and other joint investment. This round of financing will mainly help new technology breakthroughs, new product development, fully automatic product capacity expansion, marketing promotion and brand building, etc.
Founded in 2013, Jingchuang Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in R&D, production, sales and service of semiconductor precision cutting, grinding and polishing equipment.
For a long time, semiconductor precision cutting, grinding and polishing equipment have been in a situation where the entire value chain has been monopolized by foreign countries. The core personnel of Jingchuang Advanced Founding Team have been deeply involved in the industry for more than 20 years. They have excellent related technologies and rich experience. It attaches great importance to this direction, and is committed to developing and promoting the independent innovation process in the subdivision of semiconductor precision cutting, grinding and polishing equipment.
Jingchuang Advanced has successfully taken the lead in realizing the independent innovation of the industrialization of the 12-inch fully automatic precision scribing machine, and in the main channel of scribing equipment (providing various scribing equipment from 6-12 inches semi-automatic to fully automatic to meet different needs) In addition to the precision scribing requirements of industrial applications), the product line has expanded to JIG SAW equipment, thinning equipment and other advanced manufacturing processes and other professional semiconductor equipment fields. Jingchuang's advanced team ensures the long-term maintenance and maintenance of the high precision of the whole machine through multiple core technologies such as 3D simulation design technology, precision machining and heat treatment technology of high-precision machines, multi-dimensional motion control linkage optimization technology, geometric error software algorithm compensation technology, etc. reliability.
At the same time, relying on a large number of customer needs and precision slitting process experimental data accumulated in this field for many years, the underlying algorithm and software design of the human-computer interaction interface based on this are also the key to the industrialization of equipment. At present, Jingchuang advanced series products have been applied in batches to the complex and precise cutting of various semiconductor materials or pan-semiconductor materials, and are widely used in semiconductor integrated circuits, GPP/LED gallium nitride and other chips, discrete devices, LED packaging, optical communication devices , SAW devices, MEMS and other chips are in production.
Due to the diversity of semiconductor market demands, the rapid development of technology, and the ultra-high precision characteristics of semiconductor equipment, it is difficult to achieve mass production in a pipeline. Therefore, two problems will be encountered in the process of industrialization: one is how to achieve high precision of the whole machine while ensuring efficient and stable output; the other is how to quickly and efficiently deliver customer customized requirements due to process differences. Gao Yang, vice president of R&D of Jingchuang Advanced, pointed out, "The current plan adopted by Jingchuang Advanced is to improve the versatility of parts, use modular design to achieve efficient interchange, reduce the difficulty of process control, and be more conducive to standardized operations; The strategic cooperation with high-quality suppliers and the modularization scheme in the form of OEM have obvious effects on the quality control of the whole machine, the improvement of installation efficiency and the increase of production capacity."
Good... China should have the capability of producing every high tech component or product of other type that is worth producing.
