Founded in October 2016 and led by dual Gusu/park leadership with multiple senior semiconductor equipment experts, the company focuses on digital lithography technology and core device development. It pioneered the DiSS (digital step‑and‑scan) digital lithography approach domestically and has iterated more than ten DiSS/CTS/QRT series products. YuanZhuo has achieved mass production of digital lithography machines with linewidth accuracies of 1μm, 10μm, 20μm and 50μm, and reports strong performance on throughput, resolution and alignment precision. The company positions its equipment as having higher precision, higher capacity, energy‑saving and intelligent production control advantages versus traditional exposure tools. Founder Zhang Lei said the firm has completed wafer‑level digital step‑and‑scan lithography machine standardization and mass production and will focus on semiconductor applications. Over the next three years the company plans to expand into solar, photosensitive industrial 3D printing, MINI/MICRO LED and advanced IC packaging markets. Suzhou YuanZhuo Optoelectronics, founded in 2016, develops and produces Digital-Step-Scan (DiSS) devices and related components, focusing on high-end laser direct imaging (LDI) lithography equipment. Its systems serve semiconductor mask making, IC packaging, PCB manufacturing, TFT and FPD applications. After introducing and absorbing foreign LDI technology, the company rapidly achieved full domestic mastery of laser direct imaging core technologies and equipment integration, localizing all key components. YuanZhuo has secured large customer orders and market recognition, helping break a previous foreign monopoly in this equipment segment. The company plans focused development and upgrades in five areas: laser direct-write exposure machines, automation and software engineering, high-precision optical design and manufacturing, high-power UV fiber lasers, and high-precision motion platforms. Proceeds from the recent financing will be used for product upgrades, improving risk-control systems, market expansion, talent recruitment, and完善ing its commercial operations to strengthen competitiveness and establish an independent brand. Yuanzhuo Optoelectronics develops digital optical (Digital-Step-Scan, DiSS) equipment and related components that combine LED, laser light sources and digital light processing (DLP) for applications including PCB&FPC, FPD, LED, solar, wafers, IC packaging and high-precision screen printing. The company has focused R&D on laser direct imaging (LDI) technology; DI exposure for PCB is one industry application of its platform. It is positioned as a high-end semiconductor equipment manufacturer with technology that can extend into 3D printing and micro-nano processing. The team’s core members are industry veterans with strong R&D and execution capabilities. Management and investors cite supportive domestic semiconductor policy and the need for high-end equipment localization as drivers for growth. The company says recent proceeds will be used mainly for R&D investment and to supplement working capital.
