In order to achieve high-reliability welding of semiconductor chip leads, the Company comprehensively applied technologies
for ultrasonic welding, high-speed motion control, high-precision optical positioning, and highly sensitive sensor detection
to overcome a number of technical difficulties, including ultrasonic applications, pressure control, wire detection, tension
detection, multi-axis servo linkage, and visual follow-up positioning.
The project was initiated in 2017. It took 4 years to achieve a repeatable positioning accuracy of ±3um, compatible with the
technical indicators of 2-20mil aluminum wires and aluminum strips, and a yield rate above 99.95%, breaking the blockade of
foreign technologies in this field.

CARBON EMISSION MANAGEMENT
Upholding the green concept, we lead the electronics industry to actively perform social responsibility. In 203, the Company set up a carbon veri_cation working group to manage
carbon emissions according to the ISO 1406 standard. In May 203, the Company released its 20 greenhouse gas veri_cation report, setting an example for China ’s special-purpose
equipmentmanufacturingindustryincarboninventoryandcarbonintensitymeasurement.
Working group on greenhouse gas verification
In order to ensure the e^ectiveness of GHG emission veri_cation, accounting, and other work, the Company has established a carbon emission management architecture headed by the
General manager, where representatives of the management and the General Management Department take charge of the implementation, and other functional departments act as the
implementing departments. Steps are taken to build a well-regulated carbon emission management system, engage the entire sta^, and keep the Company on the course of clean, low-
carbon,andhigh-qualitydevelopment.

Greenhouse gas emissions in 2023
During the reporting period, we carried out verification of GHG emission sources within the boundaries according to law, so as to do a better job in GHG emission reduction and
accurately grasp and manage the situation of GHG emissions. According to the results, major GHG emission sources include purchased electricity, natural gas, gasoline, diesel oil, an
some refrigeration units. Among them, indirect emission (i.e., Scope 2) is the most important source of greenhouse gas emissions of the Company, which is mainly generated from
electricityusedduringoperations.
Scope 1 Scope 2
Scopes 1 and 2* GHG emissions intensity
* Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2) are calculated according to 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and the GB/T2589-2020
General rules for calculation of the comprehensive energy consumption, where power grid emission factors are calculated according to the Notice on Strengthening the Management of
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting of Enterprises in Power Generation Industry 2023–2025.
Wafer Inspection System holds carbon footprint certification
During the reporting period, we established the product lifecycle assessment (LCA) management system, introduced the product carbon footprint accounting
method, analyzed the carbon footprint of Wafer Inspection System (018F), calculated GHG emissions in its lifecycle, and developed an LCA carbon footprint
report. The equipment obtained the green footprint evaluation certificate from the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) in June 2023.
According to the report, the system boundaries in the lifecycle of Wafer Inspection System include five stages: raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use,
and waste disposal/recycling. Among them, functional units in the raw materials stage have the highest carbon emissions at 7,484.29 kg CO2e, accounting for
over 90% of the total. In response, we identified and evaluated the impact factors and developed improvement measures to go greener.
