　　Huafeng measurement and control test equipment is in short supply

According to data, Huafeng Measurement & Control has been focusing on the field of semiconductor automated test systems for more than 20 years. The company’s products are mainly used for the testing of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company has realized analog and mixed-signal semiconductor automated testing with its self-developed products. System import substitution.

At present, the company has grown into the largest domestic supplier of semiconductor test systems, and one of the few Chinese semiconductor equipment manufacturers that has entered the international packaging and testing market supplier system. The company’s products are not only sold in batches in China, but also exported to overseas semiconductor industries such as Taiwan, the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan and other overseas semiconductor industries. Up to now, the global cumulative installed capacity has exceeded 3,000 units.

The company’s current main products are STS8200 and STS8300. Among them, STS8200 is the first full-floating analog hybrid test system that was officially put into mass production in China. It has been more than 10 years since entering the market; STS8300 is a new test system launched by the company in 2018, which can test higher pin counts and more Multi-station analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.

The company’s test system applications run through the entire integrated circuit industry chain and are used for IC design testing, wafer manufacturing testing and finished product testing. The test equipment connects the equipment with the chip through the probe station and the sorting machine. By applying excitation signals and collecting feedback, the main parameters such as current and voltage of the chip are tested to determine whether the performance effectiveness of the chip in different working environments meets the design requirements.

In 2020, Huafeng measurement and control will be realizedOperating incomeNearly 400 million yuan, an increase of 56.11% year-on-year;Net profitNearly 200 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 95.31%.

On June 1, Huafeng Measurement and Control disclosed MayInstitutional researchMinutes, accumulatively more than 100 institutions participatedResearch. Huafeng Measurement & Control stated that since 2021, benefiting from the continued boom in the semiconductor industry and the company’s high-quality products and services, the company’s number of customers and equipment shipments have maintained growth, and the company’s capacity utilization rate is still at a high level.
