Kaohsiung Semiconductor Supply Chain Adds New Force, New System Qiaoke New Factory Opens

Xintex Systems held a new factory opening event on the 13th. Director Liao Taixiang of the Economic Development Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government, Director Zheng Xiurong of the National Science Council's Southern Science and Technology Administration Bureau, and Silicon Innovation Group's partners attended the event.

Xinte Systems, a semiconductor test equipment manufacturer under the Silicon Innovation Group, officially opened its first phase of semiconductor packaging and testing equipment component R&D and manufacturing factory in Qiaotou Science Park, Kaohsiung.

Xint Systems held a new factory opening event today, which was attended by Kaohsiung City Economic Development Director Liao Taixiang, National Science Council Southern Science Park Administration Director Zheng Xiurong, and Silicon Innovation Group's partners. The new factory will expand the R&D and manufacturing capacity of high-end test equipment such as probe interface cards and test platforms, further enrich the supply chain of key components for semiconductor packaging and testing in Kaohsiung, and demonstrate the results of Kaohsiung's industrial transformation and investment promotion.

Mao Yingwen, chairman of Sitronic Group, said that Sitronic Group has been deeply involved in semiconductor design for a long time. The official opening of the new Qiaoke plant of Xintek Systems is an important milestone for the group's first self-built R&D and manufacturing base, and also symbolizes the group's further deepening of its layout in the field of semiconductor testing.

Chen Ruhong, chairman of Xintex Systems, pointed out that with the rapid development of emerging applications such as OLED, TDDI, automotive, AI, and high-efficiency computing, IC product specifications continue to improve, which also puts forward higher requirements for the technical capabilities of probe cards and test equipment.

The Economic Development Bureau explained that since its establishment in 2014, Xinte Systems has continued to invest in independent research and development of probe card and test interface technology, and gradually established independent technological advantages through modular design and manufacturing. The opening of the new factory will further expand probe card production capacity and high-end product R&D energy, and continue to invest in advanced testing technologies such as vertical probe cards and MEMS to expand application markets such as AI, high-speed transmission and advanced packaging.

Xint Systems also promises customers that within five years Xint will not only become the world's leading supplier of cantilever probe cards, but will also become an important supplier in the field of MEMS vertical probe cards. In the future, we also hope to create more local employment opportunities through the operation of the new factory and contribute to the development of Kaohsiung's semiconductor industry and the independence of Taiwan's testing industry chain.
