Founded in January 2022 and located in Shuangfeng Town, Taicang City, Suzhou, XCSEMI (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., as a new generation of semiconductor high-tech manufacturing enterprises introduced by the local government, is committed to the research and development, manufacturing and technical services of semiconductor optoelectronic chip technology, and provides domestic and foreign customers with independent and controllable solutions empowered by the whole chain.
As an IDM (vertically integrated manufacturing) enterprise with material epitaxy and chip technology as the core, XCSEMI is building a process platform covering the whole process of chip design, material epitaxy, lithography, coating, packaging and testing, etc., to create an integrated system from R&D to production. The company focuses on the development of high-performance optoelectronic chips and their packaging modules, and its product types cover high-speed semiconductor lasers, narrow linewidth lasers, area-emitting lasers (VCSELs), tunable lasers, etc., which are widely used in optical communications, lidar, biomedicine, intelligent manufacturing and other strategic emerging industries.
The company adheres to the development concept of "deeply cultivating optoelectronics and leading new materials", focusing on promoting the optimization of compound semiconductor epitaxial materials such as GaAs (gallium arsenide) and InP (indium phosphide), and continues to break through the bottleneck of chip yield by improving material uniformity and significantly reducing defect density. At the same time, XCSEMI continues to explore better process paths, promote the overall improvement of optical chip performance, stability and cost control, and actively develop new materials and device structures to create a diversified and high-performance product matrix.
