Enterprise Information：Jingxiang Photoelectric Technology' Innovation Empowerment Leads the Upgrade of the New Display Industry

      Since its establishment in Wuping County High-tech Industrial Park in 2021, Fujian Jingxiang Photoelectric Technology Co., LTD. (referred to as Jingxiang Photoelectric) has shown vigorous vitality and rapidly grown into a technical benchmark in the industry. The company now has a modern standard factory covering an area of 3,650 square meters. Relying on the technical support of the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory, it has jointly built a "Single Crystal Materials Pilot Base", dedicated to the research and development and production of high-end crystal materials.

      Jingxiang Photoelectric drives development through innovation and is committed to becoming a leading supplier of functional crystal materials domestic and international, contributing outstanding strength to the progress of the optoelectronics industry and semiconductor technology. The company's core product, fluoride crystals, are widely used in high-end lenses, optical cavity mirrors, waveplates, gratings, laser media, high-transparency ultraviolet lenses and fairings for photolithography machine optical systems, etc. It leads the industry in technology. Meanwhile, the company focuses on the research and development of a new type of ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material, Gallium Oxide. This material, with its excellent electrical conductivity, optical performance, thermal stability and high-voltage resistance, has become a key material for the miniaturization of high-power electronic components. At present, the company is collaborating with the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure, Chinese Academy of Sciences, to promote the project of "Research and Industrialization of High-Quality Gallium Oxide Single Crystal Growth and Substrate Preparation Technology", aiming to break through the technical bottlenecks in the processing of hard and brittle materials and provide high-performance solutions for the industry.

      In the field of new materials, Jingxiang Photoelectric has overcome the processing challenges of Gallium Oxide, a wide bandgap semiconductor material, and its yield rate has consistently remained at the leading industry standard. The high-quality industrial projects developed by the company in the fields of new materials and new energy will play a positive leading role in the development of the semiconductor industry in our province and will also play an important role in the development of the national semiconductor industry.

      Gallium Oxide materials, due to their excellent high-voltage resistance and thermal stability, have broad application prospects in the manufacturing of power devices in fields such as new energy vehicles and smart grids. The company's technical team, in response to the hard and brittle nature and easy cleavage of Gallium Oxide, has achieved a major breakthrough in the processing technology of high surface quality substrates through systematic research on grinding media and processing parameters. This has led to the upgrading of the new display industry and has received project support from the STS project of the Fujian Provincial Department of Science and Technology.

      Gallium Oxide, as an ultra-wide band gap semiconductor material, features excellent electrical conductivity, optical properties, thermal stability, high-voltage resistance, and wide bandgap characteristics. It has been verified and tested in smart grid monitoring equipment and is expected to form a differentiated advantage in the new energy field. Power devices made of Gallium Oxide are superior to those made of Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride in terms of performance, cost and application scope. With the upgrading of demand, Gallium Oxide is expected to gradually replace third-generation semiconductor materials such as Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride.

      "We are like artisans carving time," General Manager Lai Jinfeng of Jingxiang Photoelectric vividly described. "By overcoming the technical challenges of the hard and brittle properties of Gallium Oxide and meticulously refining in the microscopic world of crystal processing, we have ultimately achieved a major breakthrough in substrate processing technology." These words are a vivid interpretation of the innovative company's pursuit of excellence and its unceasing pursuit of progress.

Policy Orientation：Leading the Semiconductor Sector Lays the Foundation for Qingdao's Future Industries

      The General Office of the Qingdao Municipal Government recently issued the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Future Industries in Qingdao (2025-2027)", proposing to prioritize the development of future industries such as terahertz, Marine electronic information, deep-sea development, aerospace information, brain- inspired intelligence, quantum information, advanced semiconductor materials, and satellite Internet, and to plan and layout a number of future cross-frontier field sub-sectors.

      The plan sets out the goals for the development of future industries in Qingdao - by 2027, a network of technological innovation, incubation and cultivation chains, and policy and institutional systems that support the development of future industries will be initially established, and a number of key technologies, application scenarios, key enterprises and leading talents with core competitiveness will emerge. Plan and layout about 10 innovation platforms and new research and development institutions around future industries, break through about 50 key core technologies, frontier technologies, common and general technologies, and enhance the overall system of innovation capacity. Gather around 30 high-growth enterprises such as specialized, refined, distinctive and innovative enterprises, gazelles and hidden unicorns, and attract and cultivate a group of leading talents and high-level innovation teams in future industries. Develop technological research and development advantages in brain-inspired intelligence, quantum information, advanced semiconductor materials, satellite Internet and other industries, and create about 30 future industry application scenarios and about 20 landmark innovative products. We will accelerate the development of provincial-level pilot zones for future industries, plan and build four or so specialized parks for future industries, and take the lead in institutional innovation, technology transfer and demonstration applications.

      The Plan proposes to give priority to the development of eight future industry sub-sectors, namely terahertz, Marine electronic information, deep-sea development, aerospace information, brain-inspired intelligence, quantum information, advanced semiconductor materials, and satellite Internet. In terms of terahertz, the focus will be on the development of functional devices such as wide-spectrum, high-power terahertz sources, and breakthroughs in key core technologies such as terahertz spectroscopy, imaging and communication.
