1.4

The Sponsor and Issuer’s Attorney are advised to propose clear and definite verification opinions on whether the Issuer meets relevant requirements on independence as set out in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation).

Reply:

(I) Whether the Issuer meets relevant requirements on independence as set out in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation)

In accordance with Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation), requirements for independence to be met by the Issuer shall, specifically, include that: the Issuer has complete assets, independent business and personnel, finance and institution, has no horizontal competition with the controlling shareholder, the actual controller and other enterprises controlled by it, which has material adverse effects on the issuer, and has no affiliated transaction which seriously affects its independence or is evidently unfair. The Issuer meets these requirements for independence. The specific analysis is shown as follows:

In terms of assets, in November 2021, the Controlling Shareholder licensed its intellectual property rights, patents authorized and in application and relevant trademarks to the Company and its holding subsidiaries for permanent use. Such authorized patented technologies do not have a key impact in the current production and operation of the Company, and the relevant core technologies and patents of the Company are formed by independent research and development, and the relevant authorized trademarks are not ones necessary for the Company's

8-3-6


Exhibit 99.2

production and operation. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the property rights of assets among the Issuer, Controlling Shareholder and other companies controlled by it are clearly defined. The Issuer legally owns the ownership or right to use of such intellectual property rights as land, houses, equipment, trademarks, and patents pertaining to its production and operation. It is evident that Issuer’s assets are independent and complete.

In terms of business, in March 2021, AXT-Tongmei and AXT performed their business transition for semiconductor substrate materials; in May 2021, the Issuer completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei, incorporating business systems such as overseas sales into the Issuer. Before such business transition, the overseas sales of the Issuer with respect to semiconductor substrate material products were undertaken by its Controlling Shareholder AXT based on the internal arrangement of the Group, while the Issuer purchased some major raw materials overseas through AXT. After the business transition, AXT-Tongmei, the Company’s subsidiary, was independently responsible for overseas procurement and sales. AXT would no longer engage in specific business after completing subsequent orders. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer carries out business independently according to law. Moreover, all its businesses are independent of its Controlling Shareholder, and other companies it controls. The Issuer's production, supply and marketing system has been independent and complete, and the business has been carried out well.

In terms of human resources, after the business tranisition, AXT only retained some necessary personnel to be responsible for information disclosure, investor relations, and financial affairs in the U.S. capital market. Its sales, procurement, R&D and some financial and administrative personnel have been transferred to AXT-Tongmei. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, no senior executives of the Issuer such as General Manager, Deputy General Manager, Financial Superintendent, and Board Secretary hold any positions other than directors and supervisors in the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other enterprises controlled by it. Nor do they get paid from the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls.

8-3-7


Exhibit 99.2

In terms of finance, as of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer has an independent Financial Department with specialized financial personnel and an independent financial accounting system. Therefore, it can make financial decisions independently. Also, it has a standardized financial accounting system and a financial management system for its subsidiaries. The Issuer does not share bank accounts with the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls as it has established independent accounts for this purpose. No financial staff of the Issuer have concurrently hold offices in or get paid from the Controlling Shareholder and other companies it controls.

In terms of organization, as of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer has organized the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors and other corporate governance structures in accordance with the Companies Law and the Articles of Association. What’s more, it has sound internal operation and management organizations and independent decision-making and execution organizations, facilitating that it can independently exercise the power of operation and management. In this case, there is no institutional confusion with the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls. After the completion of the asset reorganization, the Controlling Shareholder did not directly participate in the operation and management of the Company, and it exercised the relevant shareholder rights by exercising voting rights and nominating directors at the Company's shareholders' meeting/general meeting, and there was no situation in which it exceeded the authority of the board of directors to exercise the management right through the management or directly.

In terms of horizontal competition, in December 2020, AXT increased its capital to Beijing Tongmei with equity interests in Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Chaoyang Jinmei and Beijing Boyu; in May 2021, the Issuer acquired AXT-Tongmei. After the completion of such reorganization and business transition, the Issuer has formed a complete industrial chain covering the research and development, production and sales of semiconductor substrate materials, the consumable PBN crucibles and important raw materials

8-3-8


Exhibit 99.2

high-purity metals. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, AXT and other enterprises which are controlled by AXT do not have any substantive business operations, nor do they have any horizontal competition with the Issuer.

In terms of related-party transactions, after the business transition, AXT-Tongmei, the Company’s subsidiary, was independently responsible for overseas procurement and sales and AXT would no longer engage in specific business after completing subsequent orders. In addition, the related-party transactions during the reporting period between the Company and related parties have all followed the principles of fairness, voluntariness and reasonableness. All these related-party transactions are at fair price without jeopardizing the benefits of the Company and non-related shareholders. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, there are no related-party transactions that may seriously affect the Issuer's independence or lack of fairness.

In conclusion, the Issuer has complete assets, independent business and personnel, finance and institution, has no horizontal competition with the controlling shareholder, the actual controller and other enterprises controlled by it, which has material adverse effects on the issuer, and has no affiliated transaction which seriously affects its independence or is evidently unfair. Therefore, these comply with relevant requirements for independence in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation).

Therefore, after Tongmei Limited becomes the sole shareholder of Baoding Tongmei, Tongmei Limited shall have the right to exercise relevant authorities as a shareholder in accordance with the Company Law and the articles of association of Baoding Tongmei, appoint and remove members of the board of directors of Baoding Tongmei, and thereby appoint and remove the management of Baoding Tongmei through the board of directors to exercise the control over Baoding Tongmei.

8-3-16


Exhibit 99.2

In consideration of the fact that the Company Law, the Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Market Entities and other laws and regulations have no provision that the industrial and commercial change registration is a condition to the effectiveness of equity transfer, the industrial and commercial change registration of equity interest is only an administrative act, and such change is aimed at making the relevant registration matters of a company public and become effective against a bona fide third party, and the Equity Transfer Agreement does not list the industrial and commercial change registration as a precondition to the equity transfer. Therefore, regardless of whether the industrial and commercial change registration of Baoding Tongmei is completed, the effectiveness of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the equity transfer shall not be affected, nor does the time of completing such industrial and commercial change registration affect the time of completing the equity transfer.

As confirmed through the interviews with MORRIS SHEN-SHIH YOUNG, the Chairman of Baoding Tongmei, and VINCENT WENSEN LIU, the General Manager of Baoding Tongmei, by our lawyers, Tongmei Limited obtained 100% equity interest in Baoding Tongmei on December 25, 2020, becoming the sole shareholder of Baoding Tongmei, owning relevant rights as a shareholder in accordance with the law, and controlling the financial and operational policies of Baoding Tongmei, it has obtained the control over Baoding Tongmei. The fact that the relevant industrial and commercial change registration of Baoding Tongmei was completed on January 12, 2021 has no effect on Tongmei Limited’s control over Baoding Tongmei.

In conclusion, as of December 29, 2020, Tongmei Limited has obtained the control over Baoding Tongmei.

8-3-17


Exhibit 99.2

(II) Reasons why the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included in the scope of reorganization and the rationality thereof

1.The asset reorganization in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei are two separate reorganizations implemented by the Company

To solve horizontal competition and integrate business resources, the Company implemented the asset reorganization in December 2020, upon the completion of such reorganization, the Company holds 100% equity interest in Beijing Boyu, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei. This reorganization is for production resources; after the completion of the said reorganization, the Company has integrated the supply of PBN crucibles, indium phosphide polycrystalline, high-purity gallium and other raw materials in the upstream of semiconductor substrate materials, and their main business covers the R&D, production and sale of semiconductor substrate materials, PBN materials and other high-purity materials. Before and after the reorganization, the Company fails to achieve the independent sale of overseas substrate materials. In this reorganization, the Company and the original shareholders of the reorganized parties entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement in December 2020, which have gone through the review procedure by the board of directors, the shareholders’ meeting or any other competent authority, and completed the payment of relevant amounts and the closing of assets in the same month.

According to the description of the Company, the Company’s acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is to make the Issuer directly face customers in the overseas substrate material market and further reduce related party transactions and horizontal competition, which is a further extension after the Company’s domestic reorganization, mainly intending to reorganize the channels for overseas procurement and the sales of semiconductor substrate materials. After the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei, the Issuer owns a full independent marketing ability in the overseas market. On May 6, 2021, the Company held a board meeting to review and approve the Company’s acquisition of 100% equity interest in AXT-Tongmei from AXT in cash. On

8-3-18


Exhibit 99.2

the same day, Beijing Tongmei entered into the Share Transfer Agreement with AXT.

According to the description of the Company, as the Company’s overseas investment is subject to the pre-approval procedures such as overseas investment filing, and the time of completion of such procedures is uncertain, the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei was not deliberated by the Company in its board meeting held in December 2020. The acquisition of AXT-Tongmei was deliberated and approved by the Company’s board of directors in May 2021 separately, such acquisition and the reorganization in December 2020 are not conditional on each other.

In addition, the agreements signed by the related parties above did not require that the two organizations shall be preconditioned on each other.

In conclusion, the asset reorganization by the Company in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei by the Company in May 2021 are two separate reorganizations implemented by the Issuer in the fiscal year or period immediately before the Issuer submitted its IPO application documents.

2.Non-existence of circumvention of the Opinions on the Application of “No Major Change in the Issuer’s Main Business in the Last Three Years” under Article 12 of the Administrative Measures on the Initial Public Offering and Listing of Stocks - the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 (“Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3”) in relation to the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei being not included in the scope of reorganization

According to the relevant provisions of “Question 36, Business Reorganization and Major Changes in Main Business” in the Answers to Certain Questions on the IPO Business (Revised in June 2020):

8-3-19


Exhibit 99.2

“The business reorganization of an issuer occurred during the reporting period shall be determined separately based on whether the reorganized business and the issuer are under the same control. If the business reorganization is under the same control, it shall be determined and handled in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3; if the business reorganization is not under the same control, it usually includes the acquisition of the equity interest or operating assets of the reorganized party, increasing the capital of the issuer, merging the reorganized party or otherwise with the equity interest or operating assets of the reorganized party. The issuer and intermediaries may pay attention to the following factors: …”; “If multiple reorganizations occur within 12 months, the impact of the reorganization on the issuer’s total assets, net assets, operating income or total profit shall be calculated on a cumulative basis.”

Both the Company’s asset reorganization in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei in May 2021 are business reorganizations under the same control. According to the regulations above, they shall be determined and handled in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Laws No. 3.

According to the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3, if an issuer has undergone multiple reorganizations in the fiscal year or period immediately before its submission of the IPO application documents, the impact of such reorganizations on the issuer’s total assets, operating income or total profit shall be calculated on a cumulative basis.

According to the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3, the Issuer submitted its IPO application documents in December 2021, as required by the above provisions, the Issuer shall consolidate the reorganization (i.e., the reorganization of five entities, including Beijing Boyu) in the fiscal year immediately before its submission of IPO application documents; and the reorganization in the period immediately before its submission

Exhibit 99.2

of IPO application documents (i.e., the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei) will be calculated. After separately calculating the impact of the two reorganizations on the Issuer’s total assets, operating income or total profit, and then adding up them. As AXT-Tongmei had not actually operated in 2020 and did not open any bank account, the amount of paid-in capital and related financial indicators are all zero, and the proportion of the total assets, operating income or total profit of AXT-Tongmei to the relevant financial indicators of the Issuer in 2020 is also zero. Therefore, the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei does not affect the comparison of indicators of the reorganizing parties such as total assets, operating income or total profit in 2020. The fact that the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included in the scope of reorganization does not circumvent the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3.

(III) Recalculation and comparison of indicators such as total assets, operating income and total profit of the reorganizing parties in 2020 after AXT-Tongmei is included in the scope of reorganization

(1) The reorganization above is intended to integrate the industry chain, and the Company has been in operation for over one complete accounting year after the reorganization

The reorganized party Beijing Boyu is mainly responsible for the production and sales of PBN crucibles and other PBN materials, so as to provide PBN crucible consumables for the Issuer’s semiconductor substrate materials; the reorganized parties Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei are responsible for the production and sales of high-purity gallium and other high-purity compounds, in which high-purity gallium is one of the main raw materials for the Issuer to produce gallium arsenide substrates; the reorganized parties Chaoyang Tongmei and Baoding Tongmei are mainly responsible for the production and sales of gallium arsenide, and its business and production line come from the Issuer’s production line that has been relocated.

In summary, the reorganization above is integration implemented focusing on the semiconductor substrate material business of the Issuer. The assets reorganization above did not lead to a change in the main business of the Issuer; instead, after the reorganization, related-party transactions are reduced and horizontal competition is avoided, which further enhanced the independence of the Issuer.

(2) Relevant indicators are in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3

According to the above, neither the total assets as of the end of 2019 nor the indicators related to the operating revenue of the year exceeded 100%, but the calculation result of the total profits exceeded 100% because the profits of both parties are negative. However, with reference to relevant cases and practices on the market at present, such conditions are not included for the scope of indicator calculation. For details, refer to the explanation below.

8-3-22


Exhibit 99.2

In summary, with December 2020 as the completion time, the relevant indicators of 2019 are not subject to the circumstance provided in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 that the Offering may be requested only after operation for a complete accounting year. Moreover, by now, the Company has been in operation for over a complete accounting year from the completion time of the reorganization.

8-3-37


Exhibit 99.2

(III) Explanation about the suspected infringement of trade secret by the Company

The Company received a relevant Report Letter, alleging that: an involved employee of the Company participated in the research and development of PBN-PG composite heaters, PG process products, PBN clamping rods, and other core products during his employment at the reporting party, hence acquired core technologies of the reporting party, while such technology information was trade secret of the reporting party. At present, the involved employee is working for the Issuer and has acquired shares in the Issuer. The reporting party held that the Issuer and the involved employee were suspected of infringing the trade secret of the reporting party.

After self investigation by the Company into the reported matter above, the Company considers that all the core technologies above are developed independently with clear source, and therefore there is no infringement of the trade secret or other intellectual property rights of the reporting party. The details are as follows:

1.Relevant technologies and products involved in the reported matter

According to the interviews with the Attorney of the involved employee, the trade secrets involved in this case were related to the trade secrets of “the tooling of a PBN-PG composite heater PBN coating” and “a kind of PG coating preparation method of PBN-PG composite heater” asserted to be held by the reporting party. The above technology is related to the PBN field, but its corresponding products account for a relatively low percentage of revenue, so this technology is not one of the Company’s core technologies.

Pyrolytic graphite (PG), PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod described in the Report Letter belong to the products of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, and do not involve technologies and products in the field of semiconductor substrates and high-purity materials, nor are they the main products in the field of PBN such as PBN crucibles.

8-3-38


Exhibit 99.2

The Company’s main PBN products are closely related to semiconductors, OLEDs and other fields, and the production of III-V family and wide band-gap compound semiconductor substrates and crucibles for OLED evaporation sources requires the use of PBN materials produced by the Company. The PBN clamping rod, PBN-PG composite heater and PG coating are used for traveling wave tube for communication, CIGS evaporation and coating crucible respectively, and are not strongly related to the Company’s products which are mainly involved in the downstream field.

During the reporting period, the revenues from semiconductor substrate materials, high-purity metals and compounds, and other products are the main source of revenues of primary business of the Company; in 2021, the revenues from PBN materials only account for 9.05% of revenues from primary business, a relatively low percentage. The total revenues generated by PG related products and relevant products of PBN-PG composite heaters are RMB38,200, RMB336,900 and RMB483,200 respectively, accounting for 0.01%, 0.06% and 0.06% of business incomes of the Company respectively, and no PBN clamping rod is sold; the revenues from aforesaid products have little influence on the production and operation of the Company.

2.Basis of determining that the relevant core technologies of the Company did not infringe the trade secret of the reporting party

(1) The Company has the technical capability to independently develop these products

The Company has developed its own chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology and related equipment and processes, and has technical reserves for the development of related application products

In terms of technology, according to the description of the Company, the Company’s core technology in the CVD field is mainly reflected in the development of equipment and processes. The chemical vapor deposition reactor designed and manufactured by the Company has a unique structure. Not only one furnace can hold multiple samples, but also each mold substrate in the same furnace can both revolve and rotate at a high temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees,

8-3-39


Exhibit 99.2

and the speed can be adjusted freely as needed, to ensure the thickness uniformity, component consistency and interlayer adhesion of each product. The Company has applied for a number of patent protections for technologies in the CVD field, and has designed and developed unique production processes and process parameters.

In terms of talents, the Company’s key research and development team in the CVD field is composed of a number of senior personnel with many years of research and development in the industry, which guarantees the necessary human resources for the Company to maintain constant technological innovation and continuous expansion. Mr. HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, was graduated from School of Materials Science and Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology and engaged in research efforts at Shenyang Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, studying CVD process and materials as the responsible person of the laboratory. The large-size high-purity PBN crucible and high-density, high-precision, low-loss PBN clamping rod developed by him have successively won the second and third prize of National S&T Progress Award in Shenyang and Liaoning. He also published many academic papers.

The Company has many years of production experience in PBN materials and related fields, and has a rich product line

The Company’s main products in the PBN field are PBN materials and products, which are prepared using the above CVD technology. The Company is one of the earliest enterprises researching and developing, producing and selling PBN related products on a large scale in China. Since its establishment in 2002, it has been engaged in the research and development, production and sales of PBN related products for more than 20 years. According to the description of the Company, using self-developed chemical vapor deposition equipment, unique process technology and rich semiconductor material experience, and the Company constantly and iteratively optimizes the preparation process to produce PBN crucibles featured by high-purity, high-density, longer service life and high crystal formation rate, which has been highly praised by users at home and abroad. At present, the Company has developed and

8-3-40


Exhibit 99.2

produced hundreds of PBN products with different varieties and specifications, with a rich range of products.

The Company has basic conditions such as off-the-shelf CVD equipment and underlying technology and experienced technical team for development of PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod

According to the description of the Company, same as other PBN products, PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod are all prepared using CVD process as the underlying technology, and the products are also prepared using the same CVD furnace as PBN, and the difference is mainly reflected in the different gas raw materials. Unlike the preparation of PBN, PG only needs a single gas to decompose into carbon, and the technical difficulty is relatively low. With years of research and development and product experience and leading advantages in CVD and PBN fields, the Company has created feasibility for the rapid and independent development of products with the same underlying technology such as PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod. Therefore, after downstream customers issue procurement requirements, the Company has accumulated sufficient technologies, equipment and talents to respond to such requirements and research and develop and prepare the above products in a relatively short period of time.

(2) The technologies corresponding to relevant products of the Company are independently researched and developed by the Company itself, so the source of technologies is clear

Research and development process of the Company’s PG preparation technology

According to the description of the Company, PG is a subdivision of graphite. Its performance is similar to PBN. It has the advantages of high purity, good compactness, and high temperature resistance; PBN is an insulator while PG is a conductor. Like PBN, PG is also prepared by CVD technology. In the high-temperature CVD furnace cavity, hydrocarbons (such as CH4, C3H6, C3H8) are introduced as reaction gases, decomposed into carbon under the

8-3-41


Exhibit 99.2

set high temperature and vacuum, and grown on the surface of matrix such as graphite mold. After cooling, PG products of various shapes are formed. PG coatings, PBN-PG composite heaters and other products of different shapes and sizes can be made.

PG materials are mainly used as protective coatings. Mr. HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, proposed in his paper “Application of PBN in the Preparation of Semiconductor Materials”: “PG deposited on a PBN substrate can be processed into a resistance heater. The output power of this heater can exceed 45 W/cm2, and it has excellent resistance to fast and frequent thermal cycles.” PG materials were also explicitly mentioned by the Company in the patent awarded in 2013, i.e. Vapor Deposition Furnace with Multi-Directional Air Inlet for Preparation of Pyrolytic Boron Nitride Products (patent number: CN201220429023.0), which shows that the Company has long known knowledge and research in the field of PG materials.

According to the materials provided by the Company, from the beginning of research in June 2018 to the completion of research and development in March 2019.

The Company’s research and development process of PBN-PG composite heater

According to the description of the Company, the PBN-PG composite heater uses CVD deposition technology to deposit PBN, PG and PBN materials successively to obtain a three-layer composite structure of PBN/PG/PBN. According to specific requirements, it is processed into different shapes and sizes and used as a heater. The PBN-PG composite heater is organically combined by using the conductivity of PG as a heating wire and the insulation of PBN as a protective layer.

According to the description of the Company, On the basis of public technology, the Company conducts further research on the technical difficulties involved in customized products based on the customized product requirements proposed by customers. The Company used CVD technology in 2012 and also used C3H6and other hydrocarbons as raw materials to develop boron nitride-boron carbide-graphite (PBN-BC-C) composite heaters. In 2014, the

8-3-42


Exhibit 99.2

Company was awarded the invention patent “A Boron Nitride-Boron Carbide-Graphite Composite Heating Element for High-Temperature Electric Heating” (patent number: ZL201210287536.7). It can be seen that the Company has long had research and layout in the field of PBN-related composite heaters.

According to the materials provided by the Company, from the beginning of research in June 2018 to the completion of research and development in May 2019.

Research and development process of the Company’s PBN clamping rod preparation technology

According to the description of the Company, PBN clamping rod is a ceramic rod used to clamp the spiral wire in an electronic tube, which plays a role of fixing, insulation and heat dissipation. The preparation method is as follows: the high-performance PBN plate is prepared by high-temperature CVD technology, and then cut and finely processed into a high-precision PBN rod with certain length, width and thickness.

HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, successfully developed the PBN clamping rod in 1998, and applied for the invention patent titled “A Clamping Rod for Electronic Tubes” (CN1093685C) as the first inventor and was authorized.

According to the description of the Company, PBN has the characteristics of high precision, high thermal conductivity, low dielectric loss and easy processing. It is studied and applied as a new type of clamping material. Though the Company has mastered the PBN clamping rod preparation technology, it has not carried out sales of PBN clamping rods due to the low demand in the downstream market.

(3) The Company has been engaged in research and development of CVD technology and PBN materials for more than 20 years

Beijing Boyu was founded in 2002 while the reporting party was founded in 2011. Comparatively speaking, Beijing Boyu is one of the earliest enterprises in China to carry out

8-3-43


Exhibit 99.2

PBN material industrialization and use CVD technology, and has a complete independent intellectual property system related to production and operation.

Beijing Boyu has been engaged in research and development of PBN materials according to CVD technology for more than 20 years. Its products are sold well in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and other countries and regions. It has successfully become a qualified supplier of many globally well-known enterprises. It further enriches the Company’s product line and expands the market area covered by the products.

(4) The involved employee is not a core technician of the Company, nor is he a core technician in PBN and related fields, and his contribution to the research and development of the Company’s products is limited

The involved employee joined the Company in May 2019, who is not a core technician of the Company, and has not formed any patent in the Company either. According to the Company’s description, and upon confirmation through our interview with relevant principals and employees, he is neither a core technician of the Company nor a core technician of Beijing Boyu, based on the followings:

The fields in which the involved employee is engaged are of low relevance to the semiconductor industry

The Company is a world-famous semiconductor material technology enterprise, primarily engaged in the R&D, production and sales of indium phosphide substrates, gallium arsenide substrates, germanium substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials. The Company’s R&D, production and sales are carried out around the semiconductor industry. However, since joining the Company, the involved employee has been chiefly responsible for the R&D and production of metal heaters for evaporation (OLED evaporation point source) and the R&D of auxiliary PG and PBN-PG composite heaters, mainly in the fields of OLED and solar heaters with low relevance to the semiconductor industry.

8-3-44


Exhibit 99.2

The involved employee has been engaged in the material industry for a short time, having comparatively insufficient knowledge reserve and experience accumulation.

In the field of materials science, engineers need to have rich practical experience in all links of material production, who will only work out the best material preparation scheme through complex theoretical calculation in light of the different working conditions and application scenarios, and on the basis of balancing theoretical and actual conditions relying on the long-term accumulation of production process research, model design experience, and repeated verification and adjustment. The involved employee graduated from the Modern Science and Technology Faculty of Taiyuan University of Technology in 2016, majoring in the mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. He is relatively new to the profession and has a relatively short service term in Beijing Boyu, with competitively insufficient knowledge reserve and experience accumulation.

The remuneration of the involved employee has not been significantly improved since he joined the Company, and the Company has not identified him as a core technician

According to the description of the involved employee and the bank statements provided by him, after considering the living cost of his workplace, there has been no significant improvement on his remuneration after he joined the Company compared with that before his joining.

In addition, when the involved employee joined the Company in May 2019, no equity or option incentive terms were promised by the Company, as the Company had no A-share listing plan or equity incentive and employee stock ownership plan at that time. After his joining, the Company granted no AXT shares or options to him either. It can thus be seen that the Company has not regarded him as a core technician in terms of remuneration.

When the involved employee joined the Company, the Company has basically completed the research and development of the PG preparation technology, PBN-PG composite heater preparation technology, and PBN clamping rod preparation technology, with the subsequent

8-3-45


Exhibit 99.2

work focusing on the change, designing, and continuous optimization of composite heaters with different structures and sizes for customers. Therefore, the Company’s PG preparation technology, PBN-PG composite heater preparation technology, and PBN clamping rod preparation technology are developed independently, for which this employee made limited contribution for the research and development of the Company’s relevant products.

(5) The Company has long had a layout of relevant products and technologies, and has been granted relevant patents before the involved employee’s joining

With years of R&D and product experience and advantages in the CVD and PBN fields, the Company has formed and been granted a number of relevant technical patents, including 2 protective layer-related patents and 2 composite heater-related patents, prior to joining of the involved employee, as detailed below:

Note: According to the Company’s description, PG materials in the technologies related to pyrolytic graphite coating are mainly used for protection, so the patents formed by such technologies are mainly related to the protective layer technology, and the materials can be replaced.

(6) There is a significant difference on production between the products involved and the Company’s core products

According to the Company’s description, and upon confirmation through our interview  with relevant principals, in term of material preparation method, PG is prepared using a single hydrocarbon (CH4, C3H6 or C3H8, etc.) as the reactant gas, while PBN is prepared using boron halide (BCl3 or BF3) and ammonia (NH3) as the reactant gases at the same time. PBN-PG composite heater is made of PBN material as the main body, coated with PG as heating wire and then with PBN layer. PBN clamping rod is one of PBN materials.

There are many differences in the production process of PBN and PG. The production process of PBN is more complicated and difficult to produce. Therefore, the products and technologies involved in PG this time will not affect the production of PBN materials, the Company’s core product. The grasping of two technologies at the same time by the Company is a requisite for production of PBN-PG composite heate. Therefore, the production technology of PBN-PG composite heater does not affect the production of PBN material, the Company’s core production.

In summary, the Company, the involved employee, and his Attorney believe that the

8-3-47


Exhibit 99.2

relevant core technologies do not infringe the intellectual property rights such as the trade secrets of the reporting party.
