Hub for Next-Generation Innovations

As the transition to a digital society accelerates, technological innovation will spur significant growth in the semiconductor market. Tokyo Electron Kyushu develops and manufactures coater/developers, cleaning systems, and advanced 3D packaging equipment including wafer bonders. These product segments are critical in enabling ultra-high speeds, large capacities, high reliability, and power efficiency in semiconductor devices. Therefore, these segments will experience significant growth in the future by driving innovation in two key directions: finer scaling and higher integration.

The Process Development Building will serve as the hub for next-generation development activities prioritizing safety, quality, and the environment, as well as advanced and highly efficient development operations leveraging digital technologies. By enhancing the timely delivery of the high value-added, high-quality products that customers need, TEL will contribute to the sustainable medium- to long-term corporate growth and the progress of society.
