Adhering to the concept of excellence to open up a new track in the field -- interview with Xue Hongwei, General Manager of Poshing Electronic Technology Co., LTD

      "In September 2021, the company began to build a new plant in Shanyincun Town, Luquan District. After a year of intense construction, production will begin in November 2022. The completion of the new plant has greatly expanded the development space of Poshing." Xue Hongwei, general manager of Poshing Electronic Technology Co., LTD.

      Xue Hongwei said that Silicon Carbide is a new track opened by Poshing company, which began to lay out Silicon Carbide in 2016, invested in research and development, and began small-scale mass production in 2022, with a output of nearly 20,000 pieces. 2023 Due to the development of new energy vehicles and photovoltaic and other emerging industries, Silicon Carbide shipments of nearly 100,000 pieces, an increase of nearly 5 times. Accounting for half of the sales revenue, the Silicon Carbide epitaxial business has climbed rapidly, becoming an important driving force for the company's development.

      "In addition to the third generation of semiconductor materials, Poshing Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. also actively layout the fourth generation of semiconductor materials, such as Gallium Oxide, Diamond and so on. In 2024, the company will first start the pre-research of Gallium Oxide crystals and epitaxial materials. The company will increase the investment of human and material resources, optimize the allocation of resources, and implement cross-operation scientifically and reasonably, so as to improve work efficiency." Xue Hongwei said.

Power Cube Semi has partnered with a Canadian chip supplier

      South Korean semiconductor design company Power Cube Semi has recently announced a strategic partnership with Canadian electronic component supplier Sigma Components, accelerating the internationalisation of its business, especially in its expansion into the North American market.

      Power Cube Semi was originally a fabless semiconductor design company focused on the development and commercialization of Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices. The company's products are widely used in fields such as server power supplies and on-board chargers (OBCs). In 2021, the company has begun production of 6-inch 1200V SiC diodes.

      With the expansion of its business, Power Cube Semi further enriched its product line in 2022 by producing 650V Super Junction (SJ) MOSFETs through its foundry(DB Hitech), and successfully supplying them to a global electric vehicle company in China. The company also completed a Series B round of financing in November 2022, raising funds to purchase power semiconductor production equipment, expand the plant and increase capacity.

      Power Cube Semi not only breaks ground in SiC, but also has a plant dedicated to the production of Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3). To drive sales of its products in the global market, the company recently set up a dedicated power semiconductor sales department and appointed director Lee Kwang-yu, who has 28 years of experience in semiconductor sales, as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO).

Huaxia Semiconductor was successfully included in the TOP100 list of Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao science and technology innovation enterprises

      Recently, the 2023 Bay Area Science and Innovation Festival • the 6th Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Innovation Conference and 2023 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Science and Innovation List Release Event was held in Shenzhen Luohu Fulin Hotel. The conference was sponsored by the Science and Innovation List Foundation, Shenzhen Internet Entrepreneurship and Innovation Service Promotion Association, and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Innovation Think Tank. Supported by the Hong Kong Productivity Council, Hong Kong Baptist University and the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research at the University of Hong Kong. The 2023 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation List -- TOP100 specialized and innovative benchmarking enterprises, TOP100 Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Innovation Enterprises, and TOP100 investment institutions & venture capitalists were officially released at the scene. Huaxia Semiconductor (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. stood out among nearly a thousand participating enterprises and was successfully selected into the 2023 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation List -- Shenzhen Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Innovation Enterprises TOP100 list.

      Huaxia Semiconductor is committed to the industrialization research and development and production of high-purity simple metals, high-purity compounds and other products for semiconductor integrated circuits. It has dozens of inventions and utility model patents that are completely independent and controllable, covering the whole industrial chain layout from equipment to industrial process. And has obtained a number of trademark registration in related buildings. Huaxia Semiconductor is designed to build Huaxia Gallium chain with "Gallium" metal as the core, from high purity gallium, ultra-high purity gallium, high purity Gallium Nitride powder, Gallium Nitride microcrystal, Gallium Nitride seed crystal, Gallium Nitride substrate, Gallium Nitride epitaxy and high purity gallium antimonide powder, high purity Gallium Oxide powder, gallium antimonide single crystal, liquid gallium base alloy material. In the application of gallium based alloy, Huaxia is also the first company in China, from the technical layout to the application of carbon technology carbon neutral. It has obtained several patents, and won the only government list project in Longgang District, Shenzhen. Up to now, Huaxia Semiconductor is the world's only three generation and a half material industry chain enterprise from the source of "gallium" metal layout. Through "technology empowerment", Huaxia Semiconductor fully helps and participates in China to take back the pricing power of "gallium, indium, tellurium" and other dispersed strategic metals. Especially in the key materials of integrated circuits, to solve the "jam neck", for the complete autonomy and control, domestic replacement struggle. In 2023, in the 11th Singapore Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition, Huaxia Semiconductor won the YIT Award, becoming the only project that was met and encouraged by Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.
