About Shanghai Yuwei Semiconductor Technology
Shanghai Yuwei Semiconductor Technology, also known as YUWEITEK, is a key player in China's initiative to localize semiconductor manufacturing equipment, having been established on March 15, 2019. The company's legal representative is Duan Lifeng. Driving its strategic direction, the core team comprises individuals with extensive backgrounds from top-tier domestic semiconductor institutes and enterprises, possessing over a decade of experience in developing complex, large-scale equipment.
The firm specializes in providing advanced metrology and inspection equipment for integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. Its business model centers on the research, development, production, and sale of these specialized systems, catering to clients in IC manufacturing, advanced packaging, compound semiconductors, and new display technologies. Revenue is generated through the sale of its equipment and providing associated technical solutions to these clients. Since its angel round in July 2021, the company has successfully progressed through multiple funding stages, including a significant Series B round in April 2023 and a Series B+ round in June 2025, attracting a diverse group of investors such as Hefei Industry Investment Group, Shanghai STVC Group, and Oriza Holdings.
YUWEITEK's product portfolio addresses critical steps in the semiconductor production line. The company has developed a range of products across four main categories: mask inspection, wafer inspection, pan-semiconductor inspection, and wafer metrology. A notable product is the i12-F300, an ultra-precision wafer defect inspection system that combines high-precision optical imaging with proprietary intelligent detection algorithms to identify minute flaws. This system, along with others for mask defect detection and wafer overlay measurement, has been recognized by leading domestic wafer fabs, leading to multiple orders and signifying a milestone in reducing reliance on foreign equipment.
