Recently, the "Changsha Bank Cup" 2025 Hunan Province (International) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition concluded successfully. This competition, themed "Xiang Meets the World, Creating the Future," gathered global innovation forces. Aikewi Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. stood out among many excellent participating companies with its project "Development and Industrialization of the First Domestic High-Performance VCSEL Vertical Wet Oxidation Furnace," winning the third prize in the growth enterprise group.

Breaking international monopolies to achieve domestic substitution.

Aikewi Semiconductor successfully developed the country's first set of VCSEL vertical wet oxidation furnace, breaking the long-term market monopoly held by international giants such as Japan's KOYO and France's AET, filling the domestic equipment gap in this field. Compared with similar foreign products, our product not only has better performance indicators but also features significantly lower production costs and shorter delivery cycles.

Currently, this innovative product has passed strict verification by leading industry companies such as Wuhan Huawei, Wuhan Guangxun, Lian Dongxin, and Weiyuan Photonics, and has been applied in mass production for some customers. With the widespread application of VCSEL chips in 3D sensing, optical communication, and other fields, this product will become an important growth engine for the company's future performance.

Seventeen years of technological accumulation, forging the foundation of innovation.

Since starting technology research and development in 2007, Aikewi Semiconductor has always focused on technological innovation and breakthroughs in the semiconductor equipment field. Officially established in 2015, the company has grown into a national high-tech enterprise, forming a core technical team led by senior experts and gathering technical strength from top domestic research institutions.

The company has built a 1,500-square-meter Class 10,000 cleanroom and a 1,000-square-meter Class 1,000 clean laboratory, establishing a full-process solution system from device R&D to mass production. To date, it has obtained more than 60 patents and software copyrights, including 10 authorized invention patents, breaking through multiple foreign technology blockades.

Gaining dual recognition from the market and capital.

With solid technological accumulation and continuous innovation breakthroughs, Aikewi Semiconductor has served more than 300 leading industry enterprises, including well-known manufacturers such as Huawei, CRRC, and CETC. Its research clients cover over 90% of the "Double First-Class" universities in the semiconductor field. The company has passed ISO9001 quality management system certification and SEMI S2 safety certification, with equipment performance and stability reaching international first-class standards.

The company's promising development prospects have attracted the attention of the capital market. Four professional investment institutions, including DICE Investment, have completed the company's Pre-A round investment. In the second half of this year, the company will also launch the A round of financing, with several industrial investment institutions already expressing clear investment intentions.

Working together to create the future.

In the future, Aikewi Semiconductor will continue to work hand in hand with Changsha Bank, using financial tools to support high-quality enterprise development. We will take independent innovation as a spear and ecological collaboration as a shield, fully committing to the battle for semiconductor equipment autonomy, focusing on solving the "neck-stuck" problem of imports, and accelerating the domestic substitution process of semiconductor equipment.

Innovation leads the future, technology drives development. Aikewi Semiconductor will continue to collaborate with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to jointly promote the high-quality development of the semiconductor industry in Hunan Province and even nationwide, contributing more to the construction of a strong science and technology nation!
