TRUMPF Electronics marked its entry into the Southeast Asian market with its new regional technical centre in Malaysia.
The technical centre comes online at a time when the semiconductor supply chain is reckoning with next-generation tech upgrades, multiple new sources of semiconductor and AI chip demand. All of these are taking place in a dynamic and fast-paced global economic environment.
The newly launched technical centre is outfitted with cutting-edge infrastructure, purpose-built to streamline production processes, making Malaysia’s operations a cornerstone of its Southeast Asia network.
TRUMPF Electronics’ solutions are widely adopted across cutting-edge technologies and key industries, including semiconductor, solar, display, and industrial coating.
The new technical centre aims to provide dedicated maintenance and repairing services for top international equipment manufacturers, while onsite product fitting and professional training are available.
The facility will also serve to develop high-tech skills for the Malaysian workforce, with TRUMPF Electronics making a long-term commitment to local talent for the next generation of semiconductor advancements.
TRUMPF Electronics is part of TRUMPF Group, a high-tech company offering a diverse array of production solutions in the machine tool and laser sectors. Among others, TRUMPF manufactures a unique laser system for advanced Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology used to produce high end microchips.
Further, the company’s electronics arm – TRUMPF Electronics – offers sophisticated Plasma solutions for the semiconductor ecosystem. With over a century of expertise, TRUMPF Electronics delivers deposition and etching solutions, powered by advanced Radio Frequency (RF) generators and matching systems that ensure precise, stable plasma for high-tech manufacturing of components like microchips and solar panels.
Plasma power supplies operate with impressive efficiency, reaching up to 80% and using about half the energy of older generators. They are also highly reliable, enabling manufacturers to produce high-tech goods more sustainably, with reduced energy costs and minimal disruptions.
These systems stand out in both performance and reliability – they automatically adjust in real time to keep the plasma process running at its best, ensuring the output stays stable.
These technologies are integral to semiconductor manufacturing processes like plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), etching, and ion implantation, delivering exceptional precision, quality, and productivity in wafer fabrication.
