This year, OpenAI has taken the world by storm with an AI (artificial intelligence) application ChatGPT, opening the curtain of the world AI era. NVIDIA released the latest GH200 Grace Hopper super chip and DGX GH200 supercomputer system to support the development of a richer AI industry with its powerful arithmetic performance and communication hardware. In addition to traditional cloud service demand, AI arithmetic demand is becoming a new growth driver for the optical communication technology industry. 800G optical modules and optoelectronic devices, as one of the core hardware for AI arithmetic performance, are gradually surpassing industry expectations in terms of market demand, and the optical communication technology industry is in the early stage of a massive outbreak of AI demand, which is expected to usher in a new round of incremental market. Compared with traditional products, optical modules and optoelectronic devices in the 400G/800G era will face more stringent challenges in terms of production efficiency and cost reduction, and the technical process of highend products will also lead to differences and diversification due to the customization needs of each manufacturer. More critically, most of the highend optical module internal core laser chip placement accuracy control only allows ± 3μm between, for the latter device coupling process to provide sufficient, stable alignment error space. This requires enterprises to rely on more advanced automation, flexibility, high-precision production methods, while this way and because of foreign monopoly and high prices, making optical communication enterprises face huge cost pressure. Yu Song said, as a semiconductor equipment research and development manufacturer, BOZHON Semiconductor is committed to become a leader in China's optical communication and semiconductor industry, through micron-level, sub-micron-level, nano level technology development and product innovation, to help users upgrade automation. The company targets the window opportunity of 800G/1.6T switching in optical communication industry and the trend of localization of highend automation equipment replacement in semiconductor industry, and provides localized automatic highprecision chip placement, AOI inspection and other intelligent equipment for optical communication and semiconductor customers' demand characteristics of high precision, high stability, low cost, and high efficiency manufacturing.
