Cho Hyung-rae, Hanamicron’s Vietnam vice president, told Reuters the expansion was in response to requests from industrial customers to move some of their production capacity out of China.
Amkor Technology
Reuters reports that US-based Amkor Technology has announced plans to build a $1.6 billion 200,000 square meter factory in Vietnam, which the company says will be its largest. It will be a large-scale and advanced facility.
intel
Meanwhile, Intel, another major player in the semiconductor industry, already operates the largest chip back-end factory in Vietnam and had a strong presence at the country’s first international semiconductor exhibition held near Hanoi. .
FPT
Domestic companies are also contributing to the growth of Vietnam’s semiconductor industry.
For example, Vietnamese high-tech company FPT is building a pilot factory near Hanoi and plans to start operations early next year.
With an investment of up to USD 30 million, the 1,000 square meter factory will start with 10 test machines and will triple its production capacity by 2026.
South Korea and Japan strengthen their domestic semiconductor industries
While Vietnam attracts foreign investment in chip manufacturing, other Asian countries are also taking steps to strengthen their domestic semiconductor industries.
For example, in South Korea, the ruling party is proposing a special chip law aimed at exempting semiconductor manufacturers from subsidies and working-hour caps in response to potential U.S. trade policy under President Trump.
