AI spectral chips reshape the future of intelligent perception. Zhigangguangzhui secures nearly ten million yuan in angel round financing.

36Kr learned that Zhiguang Sensory Cone (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd., a developer of spectral chips and spectral instruments, recently completed an angel round of financing of nearly 10 million RMB. The investor is Galaxy Capital. This round of financing will be mainly used for the R & D iteration of spectral chips, the mass production of semiconductor spectral measurement equipment, and the initial expansion of market channels.

Positioning: R & D and industrialization of spectral chips and spectral instruments based on spectral technology

Zhiguang Sensory Cone (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. was established in August 2025 and completed an angel round of financing in October 2025. The company focuses on the R & D and industrialization of spectral chips and spectral instruments based on spectral technology.

Its core product is an arrayed spectral chip using a new mechanism of AI - computed reconstruction. This technical approach aims to replace discrete components such as gratings, collimating optical paths, and detectors in traditional spectrometers, and achieve chip - level hyperspectral imaging and multispectral detection solutions. The company's technology platform covers a detection range from 300nm to 1700nm, and will continue to expand to 2500nm and even wider in the future; it can achieve a spectral resolution of up to 2nm in the visible light band and gradually approach a higher precision of 1nm in the future. Based on its self - developed spectral technology, the company is developing spectral measurement equipment for semiconductor manufacturing processes, which can perform sub - nanometer precision measurements of key parameters such as film thickness, 3D morphology, and roughness.

Broad application prospects and obvious core technological advantages

Hyperspectral imaging technology can capture both the spatial and spectral information of objects simultaneously, and has broad application prospects in fields such as consumer electronics, industrial inspection, and medical health. However, traditional spectral equipment has pain points such as large volume, high cost, and low light energy utilization rate. Currently, the global spectral chip market pattern is not yet fixed. Although there are startups such as Senorics and Spectricity overseas, the domestic industrial chain is seeking a breakthrough.

Zhiguang Sensory Cone's differential advantage lies in its innovative "nano - organic thin film + silicon - based CMOS array" technology route, which aims to achieve low cost and high integration of chips while maintaining high performance, and integrates an AI interface from the initial design, laying a foundation for subsequent data analysis and application expansion. Its core competitiveness lies in the independent R & D ability of core spectral chips and the precise entry into the high - value scenario of semiconductor spectral measurement.

An entrepreneurial team and technical route for rapid industrialization

The founder and CEO of the company has 20 years of experience in technology, marketing, and management. He has worked in well - known enterprises such as JDSU in the United States, Phoenix Contact in Germany, and domestic listed companies, and has a successful entrepreneurial experience. He said, "Spectrum is the key to perceiving the composition of substances. Our goal is to bring this technology from the laboratory to thousands of households and industries, reconstruct the dialogue between humans and substances with spectral technology, and keep scientific exploration, industrial measurement, and family protection under control! This round of financing will accelerate the productization and implementation of our core technology."

The company's technical team combines the systematic engineering capabilities of top technology companies with the innovative insights of leading academic institutions, and has rich experience in Huawei projects and strong technical cooperation capabilities with scientific research institutes and universities.

The person in charge of the Galaxy Capital project believes that the Zhiguang Sensory Cone team has both profound technical background and keen market insight, and its unique technical route is expected to occupy a favorable position in the upcoming booming spectral chip market.

With the in - depth integration of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, spectral sensing technology is becoming a key direction for the next - generation intelligent sensing. Through the dual - wheel - driven strategy of underlying chip innovation and vertical industry applications, Zhiguang Sensory Cone aims to carve out a differential development path in the upgrading wave of the trillion - level optical market with its self - controllable core technology and a focus on high - value scenarios.
