Huawei Technologies has just recently invested in another semiconductor based company. The company has acquired stake in German Litho, who has recently undergone many business changes and it has recently added Huawei’s investment arm, Hubble Technology Investment as one of it shareholders.
For those unaware, German Litho (aka Qingdao Tianren MicroNano Ltd/青岛天仁微纳 in China) is a supplier of equipment and process solution for micro and nanostructuring technology. Its business operations includes applications for Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL), with the semiconductor based firm offering NIL solutions, equipment, consumable materials, consultancy, and other production based services as well. Notably, this marks another investment from the Chinese tech giant into the semiconductor industry.
Back in June 2021, the company had invested in key chip production technology to ‘offset’ impacts of the US sanctions. The Hubble Technology Investment had invested in the field of lithography. Last year, Huawei has also invested in the semiconductor startup called Vertilite through its subsidiary. Notably, its growing interest in the semiconductor industry after the brand lost its chip supply from TSMC over sanctions enforced by the US government.
