The Vietnam campus, which occupies 57 acres in the Yen Phong 2C Industrial Park, is poised to become Amkor's largest complex. Once fully completed it will have 200,000 square metres of cleanroom space.
Starting off with Advanced System in Package (SiP) and memory production, the new complex will offer turnkey solutions — from design to electrical test — to semiconductor and electronic manufacturing companies.
According to the company, it has committed USD 1.6 billion in facilities, machinery, and equipment for the project's first two phases. The final result will be Amkor's most advanced plant, delivering next-generation semiconductor packaging capabilities.

“A large and skilled workforce, a strategic location, and support from government authorities made it an ideal location for Amkor’s continued growth.” the CEO concludes.
