Hanmi Semiconductor Establishes Hanmi Singapore Subsidiary

Hanmi Semiconductor announced on October 2 that it has established a local subsidiary, Hanmi Singapore, to provide close support services to Micron Technology.

Hanmi Semiconductor established its local subsidiary in the Woodlands area of Singapore and deployed skilled engineers in line with Micron's production expansion. The company plans to offer immediate and specialized services. Previously, Hanmi Semiconductor has been providing close support services to Micron in Taichung, Taiwan, through its Hanmi Taiwan local subsidiary.

Micron is drawing industry attention as it plans to foster Singapore as a major HBM production base, following Taiwan.

Micron currently produces NAND flash in Singapore and, to expand HBM production, invested $7 billion (approximately 10 trillion won) in the Woodlands area to begin construction of an advanced packaging facility in January of this year. The new fab is scheduled to begin full-scale HBM production starting in 2027.

In addition to Micron, numerous global semiconductor companies such as GlobalFoundries (USA), UMC (Taiwan), ASE (Taiwan), Infineon (Germany), STMicroelectronics, and VSMC (a Taiwan-Netherlands joint venture) operate production facilities in Singapore.

Singapore is a global semiconductor hub, accounting for over 10% of the world's semiconductor production and 5% of wafer production. The Singaporean government has been supporting the semiconductor industry with approximately $18 billion (about 20 trillion won) from 2021 to 2025.

Kwak Dongshin, Chairman of Hanmi Semiconductor, stated, "Through the Hanmi Singapore local subsidiary, our skilled professional engineers will provide Micron with the best close support services, maximizing customer satisfaction."

Hanmi Semiconductor currently operates a total of four overseas subsidiaries: Hanmi Singapore, Hanmi Taiwan (established in 2016), Hanmi China (2017), and Hanmi Vietnam (2023).

Founded in 1980, Hanmi Semiconductor is a global semiconductor equipment company with around 320 clients worldwide. It currently holds the number one global market share for TC bonders used in HBM production and, since 2002, has focused on strengthening intellectual property rights, filing more than 120 patents related to HBM equipment to date.
