Background

Perspective
In 2010, Chen Lu returned to China from the U.S. after obtaining his doctorate from Brown University and working for Rudolph Technologies and KLA-Tencor. He worked at The Institute of Microelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences where is headed an optical instruments and equipment project.[2]
In 2014, the project was spun-out as the company, Skyverse. Chen and his team from the institute moved from Beijing to Shenzhen to set up the company. Shenzhen was selected as it was a business cluster for semiconductor equipment companies. Investors of the company include Huawei, Shenzhen Capital Group and SDIC Venture Capital.[2][3]
Partnerships of Skyverse include Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation, Yangtze Memory Technologies, Silan Microelectronics, and Tongfu Microelectronics.[2][4] In 2019, Skyverse started selling its chip semiconductor testing equipment to major Chinese chipmakers partially due to trade tensions with the U.S. It aims to take on KLA Corporation which is the world's biggest semiconductor testing tool provider.[3]
In May 2023, Skyverse held its initial public offering becoming a listed company by listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market.[5][4]
In December 2024, Skyverse was targeted in a new round of US export controls and added to the United States Department of Commerce's Entity List. Skyverse stated it is not seeing any "significant impact" because it has been preparing for external shocks for the last five years.[6]
