The applications of 10 companies are currently pending review.
Powertech Technology is a global leader in memory packaging and testing. For years it has led the field of integrated circuit packaging and testing services, including wafer bumping, probe testing, IC packaging, testing, pre-burn-in to finished product manufacturing, as well as solid-state drive packaging, and it ships products all over the world. With a solid foundation in memory and logic product packaging and testing technologies, Powertech Technology continues to engage in the R&D of advanced technologies, and has made significant progress in numerous key technologies, including the optimization of through-silicon via technology, pilot production and process improvement for high-bandwidth memory, and multiple breakthroughs in 2.5D/3D heterogeneous integration technology. The company has gradually developed into a full service packaging and testing company capable of providing logic IC packaging services. Following its application to build a new plant under the Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan in 2021, Powertech Technology plans to invest an additional NT$44.3 billion to set up set up fan-out panel-level packaging and advanced wafer-level packaging production lines in the Hsinchu Science Park and Hsinchu Industrial Park. This will enable the company to continue to seize business opportunities in emerging markets, such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and automotive chips. The company plans to hire an additional 2,044 local employees. The new production lines will incorporate AI technologies, including tool recognition systems, automatic defect classification systems, and automated optical inspection systems, to improve productivity and process accuracy. The company will also install an energy management system and solar power generation facilities to achieve its energy conservation and carbon reduction goals. This investment will help Powertech Technology further enhance its advanced packaging and testing capabilities, build stable long-term growth momentum, and also enhance the overall competitiveness of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in the field of advanced packaging and testing.
Formosa Daikin Advanced Chemicals Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between Formosa Plastics Corporation and Japan's Daikin Industries, Ltd. The company produces high purity hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride, and buffered hydrofluoric acid for semiconductors. It is the first high purity hydrofluoric acid supplier in Taiwan, and its main customers are wafer foundries, memory manufacturers, and panel manufacturers. The rapid development of advanced processes in the semiconductor industry has driven an increase in demand for specialty chemicals for electronics, such as high-purity hydrofluoric acid, and it has driven Formosa Plastics Corporation to continue to expand its production capacity. The company plans to invest over NT$1.9 billion to expand its Dafa Plant in Kaohsiung, and will hire an additional 25 local employees. The new plant will incorporate edge AI modules and sensors into its production equipment, which will help optimize workflows and strengthen workplace safety management. The company also plans to procure green electricity, install solar photovoltaic facilities, and strengthen process water recycling, exerting every effort to meet the carbon reduction requirements of the semiconductor supply chain in response to the international trend of environmental protection. This investment plan will help localize the specialty chemicals industry for electronics manufacturing, enhance independent production capabilities, and drive the development of Taiwan's high-tech industry.
Shiang Cheng Co., Ltd. specializes in the sales, storage, transportation, and distribution of chemical solvents and lubricants, and is the largest distributor of CPC lubricants in southern Taiwan. Shiang Cheng Co., Ltd. has been a major supplier of industrial oil for 60 years with its three core advantages: stable supply, its own warehousing and logistics system, and a highly loyal customer base.
