In response to the growth and future development needs of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and the Asia-Pacific market, Phoenix Silicon International Corporation (Phoenix Silicon Corporation) invested an additional NTD7.28 billion in the Taichung Port Technology Industrial Park (TPTIP) to set up the Chungkang branch to build a world's first automated and intellectualized wafer reclaim processing plant. The new plant held a mass production launch ceremony on September 5, 2022, providing nearly 150 job vacancies, and The Phoenix Silicon Corporation will continue to invest in new factories in the next year (2023).
The Export Processing Zone Administration (EPZA) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) stated that Phoenix Silicon Corporation has faith in the development of semiconductor wafer fabrication in Taiwan, and build the world's first automated, intellectualized, and sustainable wafer reclaim processing plant in TPTIP. In addition to dealing with the long-term structural labor shortage, Phoenix Silicon Corporation will continue to develop in the field of wafer reclaim by adhering to the ESG concept, maintaining a friendly environment, and creating a circular economy. In the future, the company will not only improve the technology further and expand its leading position, but also improve the 12-inch production capacity to the world's first after the addition of the production capacity of the Chungkang plant. At the same time, the Phoenix Silicon Corporation is also cooperating with suppliers to develop new testing wafers, hoping to increase the contribution margin with the advantages of complementary production lines and extend to overseas customers.
Phoenix Silicon Corporation Chungkang plant is mainly engaged in the semiconductor wafer reclaim business (wafer stripping, polishing, and cleaning technology). The company could regenerate wafers in the most efficient method and create higher-priced test wafers, thereby improving fab efficiency and providing better services. The mass production launch ceremony on September 5 was hosted by the company's chairman Mike Yang, the Deputy Director General of EPZA, Mr. Liu Chi-Chuan, the Director Of Chungkang Branch, Mr. Liang, You-Wun, and representatives of major domestic semiconductor companies attended.
To assist Phoenix Silicon Corporation to start mass production smoothly, the EPZA Chungkang Branch provides the fastest administrative assistance in a one-stop window for investment delivery, plant construction and use licenses, commencement inspections, and plant registration. The launch of mass production at Chungkang will provide nearly 150 job vacancies, and the company expects to continue investing in new plants next year.
Eventually, the EPZA has particularly appreciated Phoenix Silicon Corporation for its continued investment in Taiwan in the post-pandemic era, and for constructing supply chains and digital transformation, it fully works in concert with the government's industrial policy of promoting smart manufacturing, energy conservation, and carbon reduction. With the joint development of 12-inch semiconductor wafer thinning with customers, and the continuous expansion of the high-frequency switching and quick charge market, it is believed that the operational growth of Phoenix Silicon Corporation in the future will be like an eagle spread the wings, and it will be able to continue to stand firm in domestic wafer reclaim manufacturing and thinning as a leading corporation.
