B[Haimuxing: Collaborative speed-up of TGV’s entire chain can significantly shorten core parameter iterations] On September 24th, Haimingxing’s survey table showed that the company relies on the self-developed and self-produced model of lasers, laser equipment, and wet etching. When faced with TGV business needs, the response speed, customization capabilities, and costs are significantly better than the external procurement integration model. The thickness of the glass substrate increases from 0.5mm to 1.5mm, which requires coordinated adjustment of the entire chain of lasers, optical paths, and wet processes. Currently, the company has significantly shortened the iteration cycle of core parameters. At the same time, its ultrafast lasers already have mass production capabilities. B[Severe supply shortage of semiconductor components in South Korea, lengthening delivery cycle. Some equipment manufacturers may have to wait 40 months] September 17th, according to Korean technology media ETNEWS, industry insiders revealed on the 16th that the delivery cycle for key components of semiconductor manufacturing equipment has more than doubled, and the industry is facing a supply shortage. An executive at a company that produces deposition equipment said: "In the past, parts required for deposition equipment could be received four months after ordering, but recently, the delivery time has been extended to 10 months." Another semiconductor laser processing equipment manufacturer purchases key parts from Japan, and the delivery time may be as long as 40 months. A person in charge of the company said: "We are willing to pay a premium to speed up delivery, but we were told that it is very difficult to shorten the delivery cycle due to limited production capacity of component suppliers." The person in charge added: "Unless an alternative supply chain is found, it will be difficult to start producing equipment immediately." An industry insider said: "Even if the parts industry expands production capacity now, it is too late to meet current demand." The person added: "It is unclear when the AI-driven semiconductor super cycle will end, so upstream suppliers lack active investment in capacity expansion." B[Two Departments: Consolidating the Development Foundation of the Photonics Industry] On September 15th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Electronic Information Manufacturing Industry", which mentioned that the development foundation of the photonics industry should be consolidated. Promote breakthroughs in the core technologies of the photonics industry, support the R&D and iteration of simulation design software such as photonic design automation and optoelectronic collaborative design automation, build common process platforms such as micro-nano processing and manufacturing, and optoelectronic fusion integration, lay out research and development innovations in photonic functional materials and process materials, strengthen the supply of light generation, light processing, light sensing, integrated optical chips and micro-nano optical components, and carry out the R&D and industrialization of optical transceiver modules and engines, optical processing modules, laser radars and gyroscopes, and supporting electronic chip devices. Lay out pilot verification platforms around key areas and common needs in the photonics industry, promote achievement verification, process optimization, equipment selection, and technology integration, and accelerate new product development and industrial applications. Promote the penetration of photonic technology into key areas such as artificial intelligence, new communications, ubiquitous terminals, industrial manufacturing, medical health, high-end manufacturing, and urban security. B[Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has made progress in the field of multi-dimensional multiplexing optical computing] September 7th, according to the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team of researcher Xie Peng from the Space and Space Laser Technology and Systems Department of Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently made progress in the field of multi-dimensional multiplexing optical computing. Relevant results were published in Laser & Photonics Reviews. Based on the research on the "Meteor 1" ultra-high parallel optical computing integrated chip, the research team further expanded the integration of wavelength division multiplexing, spatial division multiplexing and multi-task matrix network sharing, built a multi-dimensional multiplexing optical computing architecture, realized parallel processing of multi-task and multi-modal information, and verified its feasibility in remote sensing image registration and recognition tasks.
