Spirox and Southport Jointly Promote Digital Optics and 5D Microscopy Technology to Support Advanced Materials Innovation

Professional semiconductor solution provider Spirox Corporation (TWSE: 3055) and the emerging digital optics brand Southport Corporation jointly announce their collaboration. Both parties will work together to seize the market for compound semiconductors, low-dimensional nanomaterials, perovskite solar cells, MicroLEDs, and other semiconductor material analysis markets in the Greater China. Spirox and Southport will jointly promote advanced optical analysis and detection modules and equipment, providing a comprehensive digital optics solution for academic research institutions and the semiconductor industry in both Taiwan and China.

As the industry rapidly develops, China has become the world's largest consumer and demander of semiconductor materials. The consumption of advanced materials has been increasing year by year. However, the utilization rate of locally produced materials has remained low, and some products face serious patent technology bottlenecks. Over the past decade, research projects and industry policies, represented by the 02 Special Project and the 863 Program, have jointly promoted the research and industrialization of advanced semiconductor materials, low-dimensional nanomaterials, perovskite solar cells, MicroLEDs, and other fields in China. This has attracted unprecedented enthusiasm and investment from the academic and industrial sectors. However, due to the lack of advanced optical analysis and detection equipment, the localization process of semiconductor materials in China remains slow. The development process relies heavily on trial and error and experimentation, with research outcomes having a certain degree of unpredictability. Therefore, a solution that can contribute to the innovation of basic materials and advanced device processes has long been anticipated by the industry.
