Founded in 2021, Zhixin Microelectronics has been committed to the R&D, production and sales of silicon carbide power devices, and its main products are silicon carbide MOSFETs and modules. With its excellent technical strength and forward-looking market insight, the company's silicon carbide device products have been recognized by customers in photovoltaics, new energy vehicles, industry and other fields.
The Zhixin Micro team is composed of veterans from world-renowned semiconductor companies such as China Resources Micro and STMicroelectronics, with strong industrial resources and industry background. The founder of the company, Mr. Zhang Aizhong, is a well-known power semiconductor expert in China, and the team led by him is the first team in China to start researching silicon carbide design and process technology, with industry-leading chip design technology and perfect process technology. Therefore, as a fabless chip design company, Zhixin Micro fully considers the factors that will affect the product yield at the wafer manufacturing process end and the packaging and testing end at the device design end. So far, Zhixinwei's silicon carbide MOSFET tape-out has been successful at one time, and the mass production yield is industry-leading, which has been widely praised by upstream partners and downstream customers.
In the past 6 months, Zhixin Microelectronics has released a large number of new products, including the world's leading 1200V 16M, 1200V 7M and 750V 5M silicon carbide MOSFETs mainly used in the main drive module of electric vehicles, achieving a major breakthrough in technology and market.
Deep reinvestmentZhu Yajun, general manager of capitalsaid that the investment is based on the high recognition of Zhixin Microelectronics and confidence in its future development. Zhixin Micro has core technologies and patents in the field of silicon carbide, and its product performance and quality have competitive advantages. Investing in Zhixinwei can further support its R&D capabilities, accelerate technological innovation, and continuously improve the competitiveness and market share of its products. Shenzhen Heavy Investment Group will continue to promote the construction of the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry, supplement the chain and strengthen the chain, and will make full use of industry resources, invested project resources, and first-class resources to provide all-round support for Zhixin Microelectronics. The two parties will jointly build a leading enterprise in the field of silicon carbide power devices and promote the rapid development of China's semiconductor industry.
Founder and CEO of Zhixin MicroelectronicsZhang Aizhong"We very much welcome Shenzhen Heavy Investment Group as our strategic investor.
