What Tianjin Jinhaitong Semiconductor Equipment does

Tianjin Jinhaitong Semiconductor Equipment (天津金海通半导体设备股份有限公司, stock code: 603061) is a China-based designer, manufacturer, and seller of semiconductor IC test handler equipment, commonly known in the industry as test-and-sort machinery used between wafer-level testing and final packaging. Founded in 2013 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange main board in March 2023, the company organizes its product portfolio into three families: tray-style test handlers (EXCEED-6000/8000/9000/9000 PRO/9800 plus NEOCEED-8000/9800 tube-packaging variants) supporting 8 to 32 parallel test sites at up to 27,000 UPH with tri-temperature control from -55°C to +155°C and ±1°C per-site accuracy; system-level test handlers (SUMMIT-3100) for IC functional verification under simulated end-use conditions; and engineering test handlers (COLLIE-300, RIGEL) for chip R&D and prototype validation. Notable technical differentiators include proprietary refrigerant-based cooling that reaches -55°C in under 30 minutes without consumable refrigerant cycling, magnetic-scale positioning supporting IC packages as small as 2x2mm, and fiber-optic floating inspection for material handling precision.

The company serves three primary customer segments: integrated device manufacturers and foundries requiring high-throughput production IC testing, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) providers, and fabless chip designers using engineering validation handlers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of equipment configured per customer specification, supplemented by professional services including installation, commissioning, debugging, training, and ongoing after-sales maintenance. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and units vary materially by site count, temperature range, and contact force requirements. Distribution operates via a direct enterprise sales model through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Tianjin (headquarters), Shanghai, Taiwan (Kaohsiung), Singapore, and Malaysia (Penang), supplemented by a regional dealer (Koseido Engineering) in Melaka, Malaysia. Marketing is concentrated at major industry trade shows including SEMICON CHINA, SEMICON SOUTHEAST ASIA, and Philippines PSECE.

The company holds National High-Tech Enterprise certification (2015), ISO9001 quality management certification (2016), and National Specialized, Special and New Small Giant Enterprise designation (2022). It is currently constructing a dedicated Semiconductor Test Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing and Innovation R&D Center at Tianjin Huayuan Technology Park, with Phase I structural completion achieved in November 2024. With 101-250 employees and stated ambition to become a global leader in IC test and sort solutions, JHT operates as a domestic Chinese alternative to international back-end equipment incumbents, benefiting from China's semiconductor import-substitution policies.

Core offering

Tianjin Jinhaitong Semiconductor Equipment designs, manufactures, and sells semiconductor IC test handler equipment (IC test and sort machines) used in the back-end packaging and testing of integrated circuits. Its portfolio spans three product families: tray-style pick-and-place test handlers (EXCEED-6000/8000/9000/9000 PRO/9800 and NEOCEED-8000/9800 series), system-level test handlers (SUMMIT-3100 series), and compact engineering test handlers (COLLIE-300 and RIGEL series) for R&D and prototyping.

Product overview

Jinhaitong (stock code: 603061) is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research, development, production, and sale of semiconductor test handlers (IC Test and Sort equipment). The company offers three product lines organized by handler type: (1) 平移式测试分选机 (Tray-style Test Handlers) — the EXCEED-6000, EXCEED-8000, EXCEED-9000, EXCEED-9000 PRO, and EXCEED-9800 series (tray-based, for high-volume production functional testing, 8–32 parallel sites), plus the NEOCEED-8000 and NEOCEED-9800 series (tube-packaging variants); (2) 系统级测试分选机 (System-Level Test Handlers) — the SUMMIT-3100 series (SLT in simulated real-world conditions, 6–16 parallel sites); and (3) 工程测试分选机 (Engineering Test Handlers) — the COLLIE-300 and RIGEL series (compact lab/prototying handlers, 2-site). Products serve the global IC test market and are marketed primarily in mainland China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Europe/Americas.
