Fudan Alumni Entrepreneurship, Rooted In Zhangjiang For 13 Years, Created Domestic Chip Testing Machines

In Zhangjiang, Shanghai, there is such a company: Two test veterans lead the team to work silently and start a business13Over the years, it has gradually grown into a national specialized new giant company, and has served more than many semiconductor leading companies, including Zhanrui, Jingchen, Huatian, Changdian, Silicon, Weimin, etc.350People are all over Shanghai, Nantong, Wuxi, South Korea, Malaysia, and recently5I got it during the year4Rotation financing.This year4On the month, she stood out among many startups and won2023Annual Pudong New District Innovation and Entrepreneurship20powerful.

She is Shanghai Jettechuang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jeceang), a startup company that focuses on the semiconductor test industry.

As a semiconductor testing company, Jiececho not only provides a complete solution from chip test consumables to equipment, has created a domestic chip test machine with high cost performance, but also allows testing ability to not stop testing -can help customers improve good goodness.Rate.

Recently, in the office of Zhangjiang Entrepreneurship Workshop on Longdong Avenue on Pudong, Gu Peidong, general manager of Jiececho, accepted an exclusive interview with Zhang Tongwang to share the behind -the -scenes story of more than ten years of entrepreneurship.

01, Silicon Valley veterans return to China to start a new track in Zhangjiang

20century90At the end of the age21At the beginning of the century, with the establishment of TSMC, the world's first company focusing on wafer foundry, the global semiconductor industryIDMThe model has begun to move towards the independent division of labor. Chip design, wafer foundry, chip packaging, and chip testing companies have risen. At the same time, the global semiconductor industry chain, which has begun to the United States, is undergoing global regional industrial transfer: from the United States to Japan, Go to South Korea, Taiwan, and then to mainland China.

During this period, Chinese overseas students have chosen to return to China to start a business. SMIC, Sakura News, ZTCkko, ZTE Micro, Lanqi Technology, Zhaoyi Innovation and other Chinese semiconductor companies have been established.

According to Gu Peidong,2011Year,45Wang Jian, a returnee engineer (founder and chairman of Jiece), also brought with20For many years of experience in the development and operation management of semiconductors, chose to return to the Chinese version of Silicon Valley -Shanghai Zhangjiang, set up Jieceang, and start semiconductor testing and entrepreneurship.

Back to Shanghai to start a business, with the help of the Zhangjiang Incubator, not only allowed the company to settle in Zhangjiang Entrepreneurship Workshop on Longdong Avenue in Pudong, but also let him deeply feel the good entrepreneurial environment. From policies, funds, to the platform, Market, customers, and many aspects of support have greatly encouraged him to choose to start his entrepreneurial confidence in Zhangjiang.

Wang Jian1986After graduating from the Department of Electronics Engineering at Fudan University in the year, he went to the University of Southern California and studied in the University of Southern California.LSI), Texas Instrument (TI), Broadcom (Broadcom)Already working21In the year, he served as senior engineers and other positions.

Two years later, the year35Gu Peidong, a senior domestic engineer, chose to join Jeceang.

Gu Peidong2001After graduating from the University of Electronic Science and Technology, he came to work in Zhangjiang, Shanghai.The company has worked for Zhido Microelectronics and Chuangyi Video, and served as a test director and other positions. He witnessed the tremendous changes in the domestic semiconductor industry.

The two veterans officially joined forces, one with an international perspective, and one with domestic actual combat experience, and jointly led Jettecho into the new track of the semiconductor test industry.

02Build3product+1Service business matrix annual sales reached2100 million

According to Gu Peidong, the development of Jie Cechuang has roughly gone through three stages.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, Jiececho's test service cut in, and the United StatesATE(Automated test equipment, referred to as testing machine) Company Hui Ruijie (Verigy) Expand cooperation, target93KThe platform provides testing services and subsequently expands to multiple platforms to successfully serve customers such as Huahua, Fuhan, Jingchen, Huawei Hisilicon.At present, Jiece's testing service, covering93K（Advantest）、J750/Ultraflex（Teradyne）、AMB7600（Aemulus）、D10/Diamondx（Cohu）、3360P/3380P（Chroma）、V50（YTEC) Wait multiple types of platforms.

2014At the beginning of the year, Jiececho started the first transformation, and the business began to Yan Shen to test consumables (test socketsSocket、PCBTest boards), including standardized sockets, aging sockets, coaxial sockets and other types of test sockets, as well asLoadBoard), Probe board (Probe Card).Burn-inBoard) WaitPCBTest board.arrive2020In the year, the sales consumable sales of Jettechukoco had been realizedThe current scale has formed a stable customer group, including Huatian, Changdian, Yongsili, and Zhongyou core.

2019In the year, Jettechuang achieved the second transformation, and further extended the business to the test machine equipment, including the self -research of the core chip of the test machine, and2022The successful development of mature products is successfully developed, and it has now realized customers such as Xiangwei Integration Technology, Jiangsu Jiazhao, Xinyun and other customers.

As of now, Jeze Creation has formed3Product+1The main business matrix of this service can provide a complete solution from chip testing consumables to equipment.3This product is: test seats (consumables), test boards (consumables), test equipment (equipment);1This service is: test program development and one -stop mass production service.

It is worth mentioning that in the Chinese test machine market, most market share has been occupied by foreign companies such as Edwan, Tyrida and other foreign companies. The overall domestic production rate is only5%EssenceWhile insisting on independent innovation, while its products are gradually realizing localized replacement, it not only achieves high cost performance, but also helps customers improve their yields, create greater value for customers, and practice the ability to make your test ability.More powerful!duty of.

Gu Peidong said that compared with the traditional testing machine, Jiececho achieved the function of high -end testing machines with low -end costs and new test machine architectures, and test (at the same time testing) efficiency, which can save test time and achieve costs to achieve costs.decline.In the past customer customization cases, Jiececho can help customers do15%to40%The cost of cost is reduced. Due to the self -developed core chip of the test machine, the power consumption can also achieve the same international configuration equipment in the industry1/4。

Jiecechohelon UnionEDAThe company cooperates to help customers increase its value in various links.For example, if the customer has a chipDetected90%With a good rate, Jiececho can help it improve to95%。

Due to independent technological innovation, Jezechuang's products have been recognized by more and more customers.According to Gu Peidong,2023The total revenue of the company has reached the scale of the company's total revenue2100 million yuan, it is expected to increase this year30%。

03,Finish4Rotation financing: Create a first -class team and make first -class products

According to Tianyancha, as of this year4On the month, Jiececho has been obtained in total4Rotation financing, investors cover Guanya Investment, CITIC Building Capital, Pudong Science and Technology Group, Haiwang Capital, Core Running Capital, Juntong Capital, Nagawa Capital, Daodi Investment, Tibetan Far Tibetan, Jiang Bolongwait.

in,2020Nianjie Cecho is complete200010,000 yuanARotation financing,2022The year is completed7000-800010,000 yuanBRotation financing.It is expected that Jececho will usher in a new round of financing.

In addition to attracting capital attention, Jeze Cyntacai has been rated as a national specialized new giant company and a Shanghai Science and Technology Giant Enterprise.

Of course, behind this is full of hardships that are not known to the outside world.Recalling the experience of two business transformation, Gu Peidong's eyes were a bit moist.

In the early days of the company's entrepreneurial business, due to the cooperation companyVerigyBeing in Japan (Edvan, Japan (Advantest) The acquisition, the Jeze Cechian at that timeVerigyThe cooperation agreement was forced to interrupt.The company faces from service toThe first transformation of consumables, whether it is team building or manufacturing, is a shortcoming that had not been experienced before. Gu Peidong felt pressure.

The research and development cycle of semiconductor equipment is often for several years, which is difficult for a startup.Jie Cechuang's equipment researchIt took three years to get full time, and Gu Peidong admitted that if you want to make a prototype, basically burn one first5000Wan can burn a basic prototype.In the process, you don't know if it is successful or not. Before you develop and develop it, you don't know if the customer recognizes it.

Fortunately, the company successfully completed the transformation again and again with the work experience of the factory and chip design company in the closed beta factory and chip design company.

A episode is that in order to learn sales, he also participated in training in order to learn sales. He gradually realized a truth -the product is the largest sales!At this point, it has also changed the company's sales direction: based on innovation, polishing the products, move yourself first, and then impress customers.

Gu Peidong also said that because of the process development of chip design companies, the understanding of chips and hardware will be deeper.When I first started making sockets, many friends did not understand, but we saw that, for example, the advanced packaging trend proposed by Sun Moonlight earlier. After the advanced packaging stage, the traditional sockets have dominated from structural and technical, and actually become electrical leadership.It may be because of the bottleneck of electrical performance -this will become a bottleneck that he (friend) cannot jump over, so in the industry, it is the primary premise to help customers solve problems, followed by product returns.

Behind the development of new products and problem solving, teams and talents are the key.Gu Peidong believes that in this boss who eats meat and drink soup, the third child can survive the semiconductor industry. Without a first -class team, it is impossible to make first -class products. We must create the best team.

Therefore, Jiece Chuang actively recruited outstanding talents and let the team10%The core employee has become a partner -everyone is a joint entrepreneur, attracting many outstanding talents from foreign head test factories to join, creating a group of professional, mature and stable project development teams.At present, many members of Jiececho have cultivated the industry for more than 20 years and have been tested in wafer (CP) And finished product test (FT) Have rich professional experience.

In recent years, Jettechon has also established R & D centers in South Korea, Global, and set up subsidiaries in the global sealing and testing of hot earth.

4000Gu Peidong had been painful, but he was also happy to solve the problem after another.He said that from the perspective of the development of the entire company, Jie Cechian was relatively stable, and the product lines have achieved breakthroughs one by one, found team talents, allowed the product to implement and let it take root.

Today, Jettechuang led the team and continued to run on the way to create first -class products, moving towards the company's vision: providing customers with high -quality test solutions, and becoming a leading provider of advanced equipment and consumables in the semiconductor testing field!
