The new facility will encompass six buildings housing key functions such as raw material and product storage, manufacturing, production and analysis, utilities, raw material tanks, waste treatment, office space, and a dedicated security building.
“Dongjin Semichem Texas, Inc. expresses its sincere gratitude to Governor Abbott, the staff at the Office of the Governor, and the Executive Committee of the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Consortium for awarding DST a $2.4 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund,” said Vice-Chairman and CEO of Dongjin Semichem Co., Ltd. and Director of Dongjin Semichem Texas, Inc. Dr. Chun Hyuk Lee. “This funding will help incentivize DST to move forward with the expansion of our Killeen facility, where we will manufacture ultra-high-purity photoresist thinner, a crucial material for advanced semiconductor photolithography processes. With over three decades of leadership in semiconductor material manufacturing, Dongjin is committed to supporting the growth and innovation of the semiconductor industry in Central Texas. This grant represents a critical step in strengthening the region’s position as a hub for semiconductor excellence.”
The project is being supported by a Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF) grant of $2.4 million.
“Texas is where the chip was born and where the future of the semiconductor industry is building,” noted Governor Abbott. “Dongjin Semichem Texas' $110 million investment in the expansion of their specialty chemicals and materials facility in Killeen will further secure the U.S. semiconductor supply chain with ultra-high-purity photoresist thinners to be produced in Texas for the first time. Thanks to companies like DST, Texas will continue to be No. 1 for semiconductors as we partner with businesses and entrepreneurs to develop innovative new technologies to build a stronger, more prosperous Texas than ever before.”
DST, a subsidiary of Dongjin USA Inc., a direct subsidiary of Dongjin Semichem Co., Ltd., specializes in photoresist thinner formulas that are crucial for the photolithography process within semiconductor chip fabrication.
