Bac Ninh [Vietnam], November 3: FPT Corporation has commenced trial operations of FPT Semiconductor Chip Testing and Packaging Plant (FPT Analysis Technologies Joint Stock Company) in Bac Ninh (Viet Nam), that includes six manufacturing strains and a most designed capability of 300 million chips per 12 months. The plant will contribute to creating Vietnam’s chip testing capabilities, with the goal of selling connectivity throughout the semiconductor chip worth chain and advancing the nationwide route of mastering core and sovereign applied sciences, enabling Vietnam to take part extra deeply within the world provide chain.Â
A semiconductor chip Testing and Packaging plant below Vietnamese possession and management
FPT semiconductor Testing and Packaging plant covers an space of 1,600 sq. meters and is positioned in Yen Phong II-C Industrial Park, Bac Ninh Province. During the trial operation part, the plant has a most capability of 300 million chips per 12 months, assembly the high-volume testing calls for of companies.
In phrases of high quality requirements, the plant operates with a deal with making use of worldwide administration requirements. These embody ISO 9001 for high quality administration, ISO 14001 for environmental administration, and ISO 45001 for occupational well being and security administration. In addition, the plant implements cleanroom environmental controls in accordance with ISO 14644, electrostatic discharge (ESD) controls, and reliability testing strategies primarily based on related business requirements relevant to every product.
FPT’s plant makes use of an Automated Test Equipment (ATE) system together with Handler gear to check and kind chips. The ATE Tester checks chip performance and evaluates operational efficiency, whereas the Handler positions chips for testing and subsequently types them primarily based on whether or not they go or fail the exams. The testing space is positioned in a Class 10,000 cleanroom (ISO Class 7) to manage mud and environmental elements.
In addition, FPT’s engineering crew develops take a look at packages tailor-made to every kind of chip. Each chip product line has totally different features and technical necessities, requiring engineers to establish the parameters to be examined, set up testing circumstances, and consider the outcomes. FPT can be researching and creating an AI-powered platform to help the automation of semiconductor chip take a look at program growth, from knowledge and technical requirement standardization to check configuration design and end result analysis.
Beyond practical testing, FPT’s plant additionally evaluates product sturdiness and reliability. To establish potential chip failure dangers, engineers conduct testing below high-temperature circumstances, steady temperature variations, and mixed temperature and humidity circumstances. The plant additionally implements electrostatic discharge management measures to cut back the chance of injury when personnel or gear come into contact with elements. The outcomes assist assess whether or not merchandise meet utilization necessities and consider their reliability.
During its preliminary working part, the plant will deal with testing chip performance, high quality, and reliability, with the aim of offering companies to home and worldwide semiconductor companies. In the approaching interval, the reliability testing space shall be developed in accordance with worldwide requirements for testing and calibration laboratory competence, assembly the necessities of each home and worldwide clients. The plant is predicted to undertake its first chip testing order for a South Korean accomplice, marking the start of FPT’s chip testing service operations.
Training Vietnamese engineers on precise testing manufacturing strains
To function the plant, FPT has constructed a crew of skilled specialists and engineers in chip testing and packaging, together with specialists with a few years of expertise working at Intel’s Vietnam plant. The crew is liable for establishing technical procedures, working gear, and coaching personnel.
In addition, FPT plans to make use of the plant for sensible coaching actions. In its preliminary part, the plant will collaborate with FPT Polytechnic College to develop a pilot program, enabling college students to achieve hands-on publicity to chip testing manufacturing strains beginning in December 2026. Students may have the chance to work with precise gear and operational processes, thereby gaining a clearer understanding of the work concerned.
In the approaching interval, FPT plans to additional develop its superior testing capabilities and develop chip packaging applied sciences, taking the following step within the company’s semiconductor growth plan.
With greater than 10 years of expertise within the semiconductor business, FPT goals to develop a chip packaging and testing ecosystem, improve its technological capabilities, and develop service provision to home and worldwide clients. These efforts will contribute to enabling Vietnam to take part extra deeply within the world semiconductor worth chain, supporting the event of Vietnam’s semiconductor business towards 2030 and past.
