Beijing E-Town semiconductor equipment enterprises sprint for a good start

Updated: 2024-02-22

"In 2023, our company's sales increased by 2.2 times year-on-year, and tax payments increased by 1.8 times year-on-year. Sales and tax payments have both doubled for three consecutive years," revealed Wang Xiangyang, deputy general manager of Beijing KHL Semiconductor Equipment Technology Co in Beijing E-Town. 

Due to this critical period of sprinting for a strong start in the first quarter, the company's production lines are running at full capacity to ensure timely delivery of key orders.

Entering the testing production line of KHL, engineers are conducting various tests such as wafer edge grinding and chamfering equipment docking with cranes and AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicles), a continuous operational marathon of equipment and product processing effects to ensure that each piece of equipment is delivered on time with high quality.

"This is fully automatic wafer edge grinding and chamfering equipment that can achieve processing of 12-inch wafers without manual intervention throughout the process. The equipment is stable and produces high-precision products," said Dong Dexiang, product manager of KHL, pointing to a large-size piece of wafer edge grinding and chamfering equipment.

Wafer edge chamfering equipment is indispensable for the production of wafer bonding pieces, power devices, and other processes. There is a strong demand in the market for this processing equipment. 

After two years of efforts, KHL had broken through the hierarchical chamfering technology and developed China's first fully automatic wafer hierarchical chamfering equipment with complete independent intellectual property rights, software source code, and original design drawings by the end of 2022, filling the gap in China's wafer hierarchical chamfering process equipment.

Currently, large-size wafer edge grinding and chamfering equipment and large-size wafer coding equipment developed and produced by the company have been officially accepted by companies such as Huawei Technologies Co, and have continuously received batches of new orders.

"Taking root in the innovative soil of Beijing E-Town and benefiting from its excellent business environment, KHL has achieved rapid and high-quality growth," said Wang Xiangyang. 

With the continuous growth of sales brought by mature products and rapid market demand, in 2024, KHL plans to further expand production plants and cleanrooms, and enhance its research and development capabilities as well as production and delivery speed.
