Silicon Box has opened its US$2 billion advanced semiconductor manufacturing foundry to revolutionise the chip manufacturing sector, develop local capabilities and boost Singapore’s position as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing.
Located in Tampines, the 73,000-square metre facility will upskill and employ up to 1,200 highly skilled people with computer science, engineering and design backgrounds.
“This new facility is well poised to solve the unique challenges for chiplet adoption, which is critical to meet market demands of emerging technologies. Our proprietary interconnection technology will not only shorten the design cycle of chips but also lower new device costs, reduce power consumption and enable faster time-to-market for industry partners like artificial intelligence, data centres, and electronic vehicles,” said Han Byung Joon, Co-founder and CEO of Silicon Box.
The Singapore-based cutting-edge semiconductor integration startup’s factory is poised to make a significant impact on Singapore’s semiconductor sector. It is expected to boost the industry’s growth and elevate the country’s standing as a formidable player in the global market.
This development will contribute to the nation’s economic expansion and support Singapore’s long-term vision of expanding its manufacturing base.
“Singapore is home to a vibrant and sophisticated semiconductor industry, with a strong ecosystem of solution providers and partners. Silicon Box’s decision to set up its first manufacturing and R&D facility in Singapore is a testament to our competitiveness as a critical global node for semiconductors and a vote of confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the sector in Singapore,” said Png Cheong Boon, Chairman of Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
