Against the backdrop of global technological competition and the restructuring of supply chains, the localization of chips has become an irreversible trend. At the national level, a series of policies supporting the development of the integrated circuit industry have been introduced, providing a fertile ground for the growth of domestic chip companies. Amid this wave, the localization of fingerprint recognition chips—as key components in human-machine interaction and biometric security—has attracted particular attention.

The rise of domestically produced fingerprint recognition chips is not merely a response to the call for “domestic substitution”; it is also driven by technological innovation, rapid responsiveness, and cost advantages, which are gradually enabling these chips to gain a stronger foothold in the market. A group of “new-force” manufacturers with core technologies is emerging as a vital force in this sector, and Shenzhen Xinquhang Technology Co., Ltd. stands out as a leading representative among them.

A Benchmark for the New Force: Xinquhang Technology—A Decade of Dedication to Domestic Chips

Since its establishment in 2015, Xingqihang Technology has focused on human-computer interaction and biometric technologies, having dedicated nearly a decade to the fingerprint recognition chip sector. As a domestic chip manufacturer with core proprietary intellectual property, the company has assembled an experienced R&D team capable of handling the entire value chain—from chip design and algorithm development to the creation of new materials and processes—and remains committed to its mission of “revitalizing China’s chip industry.”

Technological Breakthrough: The Path to Innovation with Glass-Based Live Fingerprint Recognition Chips

Xinqihang Technology’s entirely self-developed glass-based live fingerprint recognition chip represents the culmination of its fourth-generation fingerprint chip products and marks a groundbreaking achievement in domestic technology for substrate innovation. It not only fills a technological gap in this field within China but also addresses long-standing industry pain points with its exceptional performance.

The core advantages of this chip are reflected in the following aspects:

Ultimate Security and Reliability: Integrated with live detection capabilities, it effectively prevents fake fingerprint attacks. It has passed authoritative domestic and international certifications from the GA (Ministry of Public Security), FBI, and ISO, and complies with the latest Ministry of Public Security standards, providing robust security for high-security scenarios such as smart locks and security systems.

Superior Environmental Adaptability: It delivers outstanding recognition rates for dry, wet, dirty, or even cracked fingers, as well as for the blurred fingerprints of the elderly and children, with an effective recognition rate as high as 95%, significantly enhancing the user experience.

Exceptional Durability: Supporting a lifespan of up to 1 million presses and operating within a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, it can effortlessly withstand various harsh outdoor and environmental challenges.

Strong Corrosion Resistance: It exhibits excellent resistance to everyday corrosive substances such as alcohol, salt spray, sweat, and cosmetics, and has passed UV aging tests, ensuring the product remains as good as new over time.

Top-Tier Anti-Static Performance: With ESD ratings meeting the high standards of ±8 kV contact and ±15 kV air discharge, it significantly enhances product reliability and service life while reducing after-sales risks.

The rise of domestic fingerprint recognition chips is the result of a perfect convergence of timing, location, and human effort. Guided by favorable policy support, emerging manufacturers like Xingqi Technology are demonstrating strong international competitiveness in security, reliability, and cost control through cutting-edge products such as glass-based live fingerprint chips. They are not only the backbone of domestic substitution but also the innovation engines driving the continuous advancement of global fingerprint recognition technology.
