On December 24, the launch ceremony of the Semiconductor Laser Equipment Industry Innovation Joint Laboratory of HGtech (hereinafter referred to as the "Joint Laboratory") was held at HGLaser. The Joint Laboratory aims to promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading in the semiconductor laser equipment industry by deeply integrating industrial and academic resources, focusing on two industrial directions: optoelectronic information and high - end equipment.
Ma Xinqiang, Director of the Joint Laboratory, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of HGtech, and Huang Yu, Chief Scientist of the Joint Laboratory and Professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, attended the launch ceremony and delivered speeches.
As a vanguard in the field of semiconductor laser technology, HGtech has arranged the innovation chain around the industrial chain. Based on the open - cooperation innovation model of the Central Research Institute, under the guidance of the Wuhan Science and Technology Innovation Bureau, the Economic and Information Technology Bureau, and the Management Committee of the East Lake High - tech Zone, it has taken the lead in jointly establishing the Joint Laboratory with nine member units, including Wuhan HGLaser, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory, Hubei Jiufengshan Laboratory, Wuhan Huari Precision Laser Co., Ltd., Wuhan Yunling Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., Yangtze Optical Fibre Advanced Semiconductor (Wuhan) Co., Ltd., and HGInvestment Relying on its strong team strength, intellectual property, research achievements, and the construction of R & D platforms and facilities, it effectively promotes the smooth and efficient operation of the Joint Laboratory.
The Joint Laboratory is one of the first 10 joint laboratories in Wuhan. Aiming at the landing and application of semiconductor key - process laser equipment, it focuses on tackling major key core technologies in the industry, developing key - process laser equipment for semiconductor wafer laser processing and testing equipment, etc., and achieving mass application. In the future, the Joint Laboratory will be built into a first - class semiconductor laser equipment R & D platform in the country, which can comprehensively improve the performance and competitiveness of domestic semiconductor laser equipment, promote the upgrading of the Wuhan laser industry, and help build a complete semiconductor industrial chain in Wuhan.
At the launch ceremony, Chairman Ma said that the Joint Laboratory is another practice of HGtech in building an innovation ecosystem. It has gathered innovation forces from the government, enterprises, investment institutions, universities, and research institutes. HGtech will give full play to the advantages of an industry - leading enterprise in integrating resources, carry out open cooperation, achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages with all units in the consortium, jointly tackle key technical problems, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in the semiconductor industry, accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading, and inject new and powerful impetus into the development of the semiconductor laser equipment industry in Wuhan and even the whole country.
Against the backdrop of the great demand for the development of the semiconductor industry, HGtech will continue to use technological innovation as an engine, explore the innovation model of the Central Research Institute of HGtech, integrate core elements such as upstream and downstream enterprises, universities and research institutes, innovation platforms, talent teams, and venture capital institutions, explore the deep integration of the "innovation chain, industrial chain, talent chain, and capital chain", focus on researching and developing new technologies, new products, and new equipment, and jointly tackle the technical problems restricting the innovative development of China's semiconductor industry with the industrial chain, comprehensively improving the performance and competitiveness of domestic semiconductor laser equipment.
Xiong Wen, a member of the Party Committee and Vice President of HGtech, Deng Jiake, a member of the Party Committee of HGtech and General Manager of HGLaser, attended the launch ceremony. Wang Jiangang, a member of the Party Committee of HGtech, Deputy General Manager of HGLaser, and General Manager of the Precision System Business Group, reported on the work plan of the Joint Laboratory. Xia Yong, Assistant to the President of HGtech and Deputy Director of the Central Research Institute, presided over the launch ceremony. Representatives of each laboratory member unit signed the mission statement.
