“The minimum size of the products we have mass-produced is 5*12mil, which is 300*120 microns. Even though they are small, they are widely used in laser processing, laser medical treatment, laser display, vehicle lighting, communication sensing and other fields. "On April 15, in the production workshop of Anhui Gen Semiconductor Co., Ltd. located in Jin'an Economic Development Zone, Lu'an City, the sound of machine operation was heard one after another. Gallium nitride laser chips were being packaged and will be shipped to customers at home and abroad.
Li Shuiqing, general manager of Anhui Gen Semiconductor Co., Ltd., told reporters: "At present, our orders for this year are fully booked, and we are basically operating at full capacity in the near future. The gallium nitride blue-green laser chip market has long been monopolized by foreign companies, and several foreign companies have A giant company occupies most of the markets such as laser lighting, laser display, automobile headlights and laser industrial welding. Related technologies and processes are kept confidential. The development of downstream domestic manufacturers is restricted by the price and supply of related chips and devices, and there is an urgent need for domestic supply. Provide alternative products.”
During the interview, the reporter learned that the Gen Semiconductor project, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, is a technological innovation enterprise that is deeply involved in the field of high-end compound semiconductor chips and focuses on the core technology research and development of third-generation semiconductor gallium nitride.
On August 4, 2021, the project was signed with Lu'an Jin'an Economic Development Zone, and it only took 10 days from negotiation to decision to settle. On October 16 of that year, the first phase of the project started construction, and it was completed and put into trial production on June 26, 2022. It took only 8 and a half months to complete the construction of a semiconductor factory. In August 2023, it took the lead in realizing large-scale mass production of domestic gallium nitride laser chips, breaking the long-term monopoly of this laser chip by foreign companies and filling the gap in the domestic industry.
At present, Anhui Gen Semiconductor Co., Ltd. has become one of the few IDM companies in the world with a complete industrial layout in the gallium nitride laser field from chip design, epitaxial growth, chip manufacturing, special packaging to modules, devices, complete machine manufacturing, etc., promoting domestic The high-end compound semiconductor chip industry continues to become stronger, better and bigger, helping the high-quality development of the domestic semiconductor chip industry.
