Transforming the semiconductor industry with advanced chiplet interconnection technology  Developing talent for qualitative transformation of the manufacturing sectorEnd-to-end commitment on economic resource efficiency at scale 

Singapore, July 2023 – Silicon Box, a cutting-edge semiconductor heterogeneous integration startup, today unveiled its $2 billion advanced semiconductor manufacturing foundry aimed at revolutionising the chip manufacturing sector, developing local capabilities, and boosting Singapore’s position as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing. Silicon Box will hire and train up to 1,200 high-level employees, with the support of the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB). 

The grand opening ceremony of the 73,000 sqm facility in Tampines, the size of 15 football fields, was graced by Mr Png Cheong Boon, Chairman EDB, and the company’s three co-founders Dr. Han Byung Joon – Chief Executive Officer of Silicon Box – Dr. Sehat Sutradja, and Weili Dai.

Transforming the semiconductor industry with advanced chiplet interconnection technology  

Despite its wide potential and high demand across emerging technologies, deployment of chiplets continues to face challenges with manufacturing capacity, complexity and cost. Silicon Box’s proprietary fabrication method, sets a new standard for design flexibility and electrical performance at low cost, and delivers one of the shortest interconnections using sub 5 micron technology. This agility in semiconductor design cycles enables the industry to effectively and efficiently scale across the semiconductors value chain.

Developing talent for qualitative transformation of the manufacturing sector

Digitalisation, accelerated by the pandemic, has increased demand for talent in high-end engineering. Leveraging the combined expertise and patents of the co-founders of Silicon Box and commitment to R&D, the startup aims to attract the brightest minds and digital experts to join the innovative team at the facility. In collaboration with EDB, Silicon Box will be providing training opportunities for graduates from institutes of higher learning to contribute to the development of radical new technologies to meet this demand. 

Silicon Box is a Singapore-based, global champion in semiconductors that will bring the city-state to the forefront of innovation in the space. It will help facilitate further development of native supply chains and technologies for this critical industry. 

End-to-end commitment on economic resource efficiency at scale 

Operating with economically sound processes to minimise the negative effects on the environment, Silicon Box ensures that its interconnected chiplets are energy efficient at scale. Built with resource efficiency in mind in keeping with industry best practices, the facility includes: 

  • A Reverse Osmosis De-Ionized (RO-DI) water filtration system that purifies NeWater for manufacturing processes. 
  • Fully contained wastewater treatment facility enables 50% of post-manufacturing waste water to be recycled and reused.
  • Multi-grid voltage system and solar panels improve the capacity of transmission lines and distributes power consumption more efficiently.
  • Energy efficient window glass and blinds, coupled with high-quality insulation, reduces energy required for cooling.
