Led by a prominent figure in China’s semiconductor industry, SOI Micro is focused on developing fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology – a low-power chipmaking technology that offers a complementary route to mainstream processes.
SOI Micro completed a shareholder change on Thursday, according to a recent update on China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System.
The company’s registered capital increased to 2.53 billion yuan (US$375 million) from 2.39 billion yuan, with the Wuhan-based Changcun Industry Investment Fund appearing as a new shareholder.
SOI Micro did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
The Changcun Industry Investment Fund was established in 2023 by YMTC alongside the Hubei Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, a state-backed vehicle in Wuhan.
