Yongin Special City announced on the 7th that it has attracted investment from Tokyo Electron (TEL), a global semiconductor equipment company.
Yongin City also announced that the headquarters of semiconductor inspection equipment company Ko Young Technology Co., Ltd. will move from Seoul to Yongin.
Yongin City explains that the entry of these companies is significant at a time when Yongin is firmly established as a semiconductor center city due to the establishment of a national industrial complex for advanced system semiconductors in Yongin’s Dongdong and Namsa-eup, and the creation of a Yongin semiconductor cluster in Wonsam-myeon.
On March 27, Tokyo Electron Korea applied to Yongin City to change the industry for 27,032㎡ (about 8,177 pyeong) of 4 blocks of industrial facilities here to move into the Wonsam General Industrial Complex.
Tokyo Electron Korea purchased the land in January to build an R&D center, and plans to set up a research building and a fab if the applied industrial complex plan changes.
Tokyo Electron is considered one of the world’s leading semiconductor equipment manufacturers, including Applied Materials of the United States, Ram Research of the Netherlands, and ASML of the Netherlands. As of last year, it is the world’s fourth-largest company in terms of sales and the world’s first in patent ownership.
Tokyo Electron Korea, the company’s local subsidiary in Korea, is headquartered in Hwaseong, and recorded sales of 1.4033 trillion won in fiscal 2022. There are 1938 employees.
The size of Wonsam General Industrial Complex, where Tokyo Electron Korea will move in, is 108,919㎡. With the establishment of Yongin Semiconductor Cluster nearby, STI, a semiconductor equipment company, and Nanook, a semiconductor device company, moved into Wonsam General Industrial Complex.
Koyoung Technology Co., Ltd., a leading semiconductor inspection equipment company in Korea, will integrate and transfer its headquarters and holding company in Seoul to 1188 Koyoung Technology R&D Center in Sanghyeon-dong, Suji-gu.
Yongin City visited Koyoung Technology Co., Ltd. in February to understand the current status of semiconductor companies in the jurisdiction, and when the company said it was willing to integrate the headquarters and the R&D center, it consulted on matters necessary to move into Yongin and helped to finalize the integration plan.
The city plans to smoothly proceed with the necessary administrative procedures to help the company complete its migration in the second half of this year.
Ko Young Technology Co., Ltd. is well known as a semiconductor advanced packaging inspection equipment company. Recently, it has also achieved remarkable results in the medical robot sector.
Meanwhile, AppleT Co., Ltd., a semiconductor and display equipment company, will complete a new factory with a total floor area of 1,710㎡ on the 2,632㎡ site in Gokhyeon-ro, Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu, in August.
AppleT Co., Ltd. is a small and medium-sized company with sales of 19.3 billion won in 2023, and has recently been recognized for its technological prowess by installing track equipment for applying Fortesist, a core semiconductor equipment, at the POSTECH Nano Convergence Technology Institute.
In Yongin City, which is developing into a semiconductor-oriented city in Korea, semiconductor companies are moving in one after another.
29 companies, including Wonik IPS, signed an agreement to move into the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster Cooperation Complex in 31 of the 37 parcels to be sold.
In Yongin Techno Valley near the National Industrial Complex of Advanced System Semiconductors, SNSTEC, which has world-class technology in the semiconductor sector and EUV blank masks, which are key materials for semiconductors, is scheduled to complete a new plant in July.
Mayor Lee Sang-il said, “The world’s major advanced countries are engaged in a speed war to seize semiconductor hegemony,” adding, “The city is also making efforts to provide various administrative support and expand roads and rail networks to succeed in large projects such as Yongin Semiconductor National Industrial Complex.”
