The leaders of Wuxi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government positively affirmed the achievements of Afilm Semiconductor in R&D investment, project milestones, and the introduction of talents from home and abroad.

With the strong support of the leadership and various departments in Wuxi, Jiangyin, and the High-tech Zone, the Class 1000 and Class 100 cleanrooms of Afilm Semiconductor reached operational standards in May this year, providing robust cleanliness assurance for the successful development of the first equipment. The project is expected to commence production in December this year, with a full production capacity of 50 sets of thin film deposition equipment annually, achieving an estimated annual sales revenue exceeding RMB 600 million.
Afilm Semiconductor places high importance on R&D as well as IP protection. Since its establishment, the company has applied for 14 invention patents, 8 utility model patents, and 2 software copyrights, and multiple inventions and copyrights have been granted and applied to the R&D and production of thin film deposition equipment. Currently, R&D personnel account for more than 50% of the workforce. Afilm will continue to actively attract overseas talent, expand the R&D team, develop products and niche markets, and strive to leverage the advantages of its global team to grow into a global platform-based semiconductor equipment company in a relatively short period of time, supporting the nation's semiconductor development strategy and technological revitalization.
