On December 24, Anfu Technology disclosed in the record of its investor relations activities that the company had recently carried out a strategic investment in Suzhou Yilanwei Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. This move stems from the company's astute assessment of AI industry development trends and its keen insight into the opportunities for domestic substitution of optical chips.

Suzhou Yilanwei is a technology start - up established as a Sino - foreign joint venture in 2021. It was founded by a team comprising national high - level talents and doctors who returned from Europe. The company focuses on the research, development, and production of silicon - photonic heterogeneous integrated thin - film lithium niobate photonic chips.

At present, Suzhou Yilanwei has independently developed a full - stack technology platform for silicon - photonic heterogeneous integrated thin - film lithium niobate. It has mastered key technologies, such as single - wave 200G/400G high - speed electro - optic modulation for artificial intelligence data centers. Moreover, it has successfully developed optoelectronic chips suitable for 1.6T/3.2T optical modules, co - packaged optics (CPO), and all - optical switching (OCS).
