　　On February 10th, in the testing laboratory of Hubei Mason Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. in Qingshan District, Wuhan City, several types of memory devices are undergoing the "ice and fire" tests. Roasted by the high temperature of 85℃ and frozen by the extreme cold of -40℃, these memory devices are being strictly inspected for key indicators such as stability and functionality in the extreme tests lasting from 4 to 24 hours.

　　"Memory is the 'memory center' of electronic devices, and its performance and reliability directly affect the running speed and data security of devices," introduced a testing engineer from Mason Semiconductor. "By simulating extreme environments, we ensure that our products can operate stably in various application scenarios."

　　As a subsidiary of Wanrun Technology focusing on the semiconductor memory field, Hubei Mason Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. has, since its establishment in late 2022, responded to the development strategies of Hubei Province and the Yangtze River Industrial Investment Group, and has focused on the consumer - grade, industrial - grade, and automotive - grade storage fields.

　　In January this year, Mason Semiconductor achieved a "good start". Under the requirement of the group leaders that the starting point is a sprint, both the order - receiving amount and the shipment amount reached new highs in the same period in history. Facing the spring order peak season, the company is also actively establishing an overseas sales team to fully explore overseas markets such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea.

　　"The competition for orders ultimately comes down to the competition of product quality," emphasized Li Silin, the general manager of the company. "We have self - developed testing technologies and start from the source materials to strictly control the quality."

　　In the production of memory, flash memory is the core raw material, and its characteristics directly affect the reliability, stability, and lifespan of the memory. In order to accurately distinguish the quality of flash memory, Mason Semiconductor and the School of Integrated Circuits of Huazhong University of Science and Technology jointly established a High - Reliability Storage Joint Laboratory. They conduct extreme tests on the products of the world's major flash memory wafer manufacturers, construct models to predict the lifespan of flash memory by combining artificial neural network algorithms, and set grades and classifications for flash memory based on the results of multiple test data. Finally, they apply them to the production of memories for different uses to ensure that each flash memory is put to good use.

　　"Testing is the guarantee of quality, and standards are the cornerstone of the industry," introduced Li Silin. Mason Semiconductor has taken the lead in establishing a set of internal solid - state drive scoring standards in China, covering 11 key indicators such as flash memory particle type, data retention period, number of erase - write cycles, and interface rate. This provides a scientific and objective evaluation system for product quality and sets a benchmark for the industry.

　　Thanks to the strict testing and scientific standards, Mason Semiconductor has launched several memory products in the past two years, covering storage application fields such as mobile phones, tablets, e - sports, high - end industrial control, data centers, and cloud computing. At the 6th Hardcore Core Ecology Conference last year, the self - developed solid - state drive MC7000 of the company stood out from many competitors with its faster data transmission rate and lower latency, and won the "2024 Hardcore Storage Product Award".

　　With the increasingly fierce competition in the global storage market and the ever - changing semiconductor storage technology, Li Silin believes that the leading advantage of products is fleeting. Only by establishing scientific and standardized standards can the company remain invincible. "Continue to adhere to technological innovation, promote enterprise standards to become industry standards, let consumers consume clearly, and win market recognition with high - quality products." At present, Mason Semiconductor is actively laying out new enterprise - level memory products and high - end mobile phone memories, and plans to focus on launching them this year.
